00:00:48  <fjb> Every thing is easy to implement. You only have to compare it to the right job. :-)

00:01:44  <Anderus> i mean, i know the password that i set, it just won't fit in the password box
00:02:40  <glx> Anderus: how long is it?
00:02:43  <Anderus> but it did when i typed it
00:03:00  <Eddi|zuHause> Anderus: there are two ways to remove passwords, first one is saving the game and restarting the server, second one is using the "autoclean" options (dangerous)
00:03:09  <Anderus> 23 chars
00:03:25  <Anderus> dang :(
00:03:27  <Yexo> Anderus: open the consoloe, then type "join <companyid> <password>"
00:03:30  <Yexo> tha tmight work
00:03:55  <Anderus> that worked! thank you!
00:04:54  <fjb> Hier werden sie geholfen.
00:06:00  <glx> ,...,...,...,...,...ShowQueryString(STR_EMPTY, STR_NETWORK_NEED_COMPANY_PASSWORD_CAPTION, 20, 180, this, CS_ALPHANUMERAL, QSF_NONE); <-- indeed 23 is too much for the GUI
00:06:17  <glx> :)
00:06:31  <Anderus> haha
00:07:19  <Eddi|zuHause> i always thought the openttd string limits are ridiculously small
00:07:58  <fjb> Especially the group names.
00:08:06  <Eddi|zuHause> like for train and group names
00:08:17  <TruePikachu> I still want to get this working here for the time being
00:10:30  * fjb also wants a lot of things.
00:10:47  <ccfreak2k> Eddi|zuHause, they're just stringing you along.
00:10:56  <Eddi|zuHause> like if i want to name road vehicle groups in the scheme "<City> - <Line> - <Start>-<Via>-<End>" it often won't fit
00:11:25  <TruePikachu> I know that TW won't help one bit
00:11:39  <CIA-2> OpenTTD: yexo * r20012 /trunk/src/ (company_gui.cpp network/network_gui.cpp): -Fix: when joining a company with a password you could only enter 20 characters of the password
00:12:02  <fjb> You only know if you tried.
00:12:23  <TruePikachu> My mom tried when the modem turned off the DHCP server
00:12:39  <TruePikachu> They sent 5 techs over, and none of them could find the problem
00:12:56  *** bryjen [~bryjen@75.81.201.131] has joined #openttd
00:13:04  <TruePikachu> I simply assign a static IP address, get into the settings, and re-enable the DHCP
00:13:25  <glx> I guess we need at least http://glx.dnsalias.net:8080/openttd/password.diff
00:13:47  <glx> oh Yexo was faster

00:14:16  <TruePikachu> Oh, and I have a pressing question about the game mechanics
00:14:43  <TruePikachu> What is needed to make cities grow? I don't understand the wiki on the subject
00:14:54  <glx> depends on climate
00:15:11  <TruePikachu> I am only concerned with Temprate right now
00:15:36  <fjb> Active stations.
00:15:41  <glx> passengers and mail
00:15:54  <TruePikachu> I mean, the wiki states 5 stations within the city, but does it work if they are all connected as one station, and each of the 5 parts are visited?
00:16:02  <Yexo> have 5 stations within x (15? / 20?) tiles from the city center and make sure a vehicle visits these stations every 50 (or was it 20?) days
00:16:12  <TruePikachu> 50
00:16:17  <Yexo> there have to be 5 differnt station labels
00:16:23  <TruePikachu> :(
00:17:23  *** Kurimus [Kurimus@dsl-tkubrasgw1-fe32dc00-253.dhcp.inet.fi] has quit []
00:17:31  <glx> a small bus/tram network :)
00:19:29  <TruePikachu> If a station covers a bigger part of a city than another station, assuming the stations are not there simutaniously, and they both have the same ratings, do they get the same number of passengers and mail provided that the population is also the same?
00:20:23  <TruePikachu> Or are the supplies dependant only on coverage area?
00:20:24  *** rhaeder1 [~quix0r@188.109.249.51] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
00:22:22  <TruePikachu> Can someone answer?
00:23:20  <glx> only the 2 best stations get stuff
00:23:39  <glx> (or is it 3 ?)
00:23:45  <TruePikachu> Not a good answer, and it's 2
00:24:16  <fjb> Why does every beginner make the whole town one station?
00:24:44  <planetmaker> just because!
00:25:08  <TruePikachu> Because either A) the wiki isn't specific on these things, or B) that's how Railroad Tycoon does it
00:26:02  <glx> IIRC coverage is only for delivering
00:26:25  <TruePikachu> ?
00:28:14  <TruePikachu> fjb, please elaborate
00:28:36  <fjb> Elaborate what?
00:28:56  <TruePikachu> on why you don't make town-sized stations
00:30:22  <fjb> The town does not grow with only one station and so there will be not that many passengers.
00:31:02  <TruePikachu> But if a station is in a town, no matter what the coverage area is, the station can serve the entire town's population?
00:31:13  <planetmaker> s/not grow/not grow fast/
00:31:22  <TruePikachu> And I've disproved you many times
00:31:42  <TruePikachu> ^ im my savegames
00:31:46  <planetmaker> ... I guess you disprove fjb this time then, too
00:31:48  <TruePikachu> * in
00:32:06  <planetmaker> and make sure to add the wrong info again to the wiki
00:32:34  <TruePikachu> No, I mean with one station, I brought a city from 1,000 to 20,000
00:32:37  <planetmaker> (yes, fjb is right. 5 stations are what is the optimum to get a town growing)
00:32:47  <planetmaker> yes, they grow even without station
00:32:53  <planetmaker> yes, they grow slowly with one
00:33:13  <TruePikachu> Okay, but what exactly is coverage are for then?
00:33:16  <planetmaker> yes, I've grown a town with  one million inhabitants
00:33:21  <TruePikachu> O_o
00:33:34  <TruePikachu> How long?
00:33:44  <planetmaker> dunno. 300 game years maybe?
00:33:55  <TruePikachu> Oh
00:34:28  <planetmaker> the coverage area gives you the acceptance of a station. And somewhat also what is delivered
00:35:27  <TruePikachu> But a station in a city with just, say, a bus stop will serve the ENTIRE city
00:35:42  <TruePikachu> and not just the coverage area of houses
00:35:47  <TruePikachu> ?
00:36:22  * planetmaker uploaded SwedishRails 0.3.0 to bananas
00:36:36  <TruePikachu> ...
00:37:09  <planetmaker> TruePikachu: you get the cargo from your coverage area
00:37:29  <TruePikachu> If a bus stop is in a city, does it take care of everybody and their mail?
00:39:44  <TruePikachu> Is one bus stop capible of accessing an entire city???
00:40:14  <planetmaker> have you ever placed a bus stop? Have you ever seen the coverage area while doing so?
00:40:21  <TruePikachu> yes
00:40:27  <planetmaker> go figure
00:41:08  * TruePikachu is getting confused by all the different answers
00:41:20  <fjb> One bus stop makes the whole town grow, but you only get the passengers from the coverage area.
00:41:42  <TruePikachu> Okay.
00:41:51  * planetmaker goes to bed. Have a good night folks
00:41:59  <planetmaker> End test swedish rail set ;-)
00:42:02  <glx> well a house delivers passengers to the 2 best station in its catchement area :)
00:42:06  <planetmaker> s/End/And/ :-)
00:42:35  <glx> size is 4 by default
00:42:44  <fjb> Night planetmaker.
00:42:57  <TruePikachu> What do you mean by size?
00:44:57  <TruePikachu> glx: what do you mean by size?
00:45:05  <fjb> Size of the catchment area we are talking about at the moment.
00:45:28  <TruePikachu> How does it change?

00:46:01  *** Fuco [~dota.keys@188.123.106.105] has quit [Quit: Quit]
00:46:05  <glx> so the house look for stations (in its own area), then checks if it is (the house) in the station area
00:46:17  <fjb> It is in the settings. It can be the same for all station types or depending on the station type.
00:46:34  <glx> fjb: no it's 4 or 10 :)
00:46:51  <fjb> glx: Ok, thank you.
00:46:58  <glx> 4 is default, 10 is modified_catchement
00:47:14  <TruePikachu> Wait, so how would you get tons of people to deliver?
00:47:21  <glx> but in case of modified_catchement it checks the station catchement area too
00:49:05  <TruePikachu> How do you get tons of people to deliver?
00:49:06  <fjb> Make a bus or tram network and deliver the passengers to one big station. Get them there by a train, plane or what else.
00:49:27  <TruePikachu> with transfer?
00:49:35  <glx> yes
00:49:51  <glx> you can also play with town grfs
00:50:06  <TruePikachu> And then, when delivering passengers back to the city, what do you do?
00:50:07  <glx> you'll get more people than you can transport
00:50:53  <fjb> Just throw them off the train if the train station accepts passengers.
00:51:05  <TruePikachu> And the city will still grow?
00:51:49  <fjb> Yes.
00:52:01  <TruePikachu> Okay. One last question: would it be a good idea to use the OpenTTD_Co-op pages as a stragety guide?
00:52:27  <fjb> The passengers can not leave the station, get bored and make a lot of babies.
00:52:39  <TruePikachu> fjb, see 'oil rig'
00:53:20  <TruePikachu> 'Passenger production at so and so oil rig increases by 100%'
00:53:25  <glx> passengers just go where you want them to go :)
00:53:30  <fjb> What else would you do on an oil rig in your spare time?
00:54:03  <TruePikachu> I am definitly e-mailing this to my friend
00:56:01  <TruePikachu> I would try to increase oil production by 100%
00:57:18  <TruePikachu> Would it be a good idea to use the OpenTTD_Co-op pages as a stragety guide?
00:57:58  <fjb> Yes, if you understand them.
00:58:15  <TruePikachu> Okay.
00:59:09  <fjb> And don't drill at the deep water.

13:46:10  <PeterT> I guess it depends on the person
13:46:13  <Belugas> 4 is like.. borderline
13:46:14  <Belugas> or so
13:46:29  <PeterT> ah
13:46:33  <Belugas> but it might ahev written by a guy who drinks even more.. dunno
13:46:47  <Belugas> and yes, it might depends of the person indeed
13:46:59  <peter1138> hm
13:47:06  <Belugas> like alcohol, in factr
13:47:11  <PeterT> yeah
13:47:31  <PeterT> if it's like alchohol, then it takes getting used to, building a tolerence
13:48:32  <Belugas> after two beers (american beer not taking in account, of course), i'm getting really high.now.  not when my hair were flowing freely on my shoulders...
13:48:35  <Belugas> see waht i mean?
13:49:07  <PeterT> :-D
13:50:40  <peter1138> hee, my hair is just on my shoulders
13:51:01  <PeterT> I used to have long hair
13:51:09  <PeterT> then I cut it off
13:51:14  <PeterT> for the summer :p
13:51:16  <peter1138> me too
13:51:23  <peter1138> i had 7 years of long hair
13:51:30  <PeterT> O_o wow :-D

13:53:23  <PeterT> hehe
13:53:34  <PeterT> alright, let's go USA!!
13:53:39  <PeterT> how good is Algeria?
13:53:45  <Ammler> better :-P
13:54:15  <PeterT> :-(
13:54:27  <PeterT> I just heard that Algeria hasn't scored in any of the games :p
13:54:27  <Belugas> mmh... what should i do to convince my wife i should grow my hair back?
13:54:57  <Belugas> ho.. i know...find something to have more hair for a start!
13:55:07  <peter1138> :s
13:55:20  <Belugas> peter1138, you do look good, judging form last shot ;)
13:56:00  <PeterT> I only saw your last.fm profile when you posted it in #tycoon
13:56:15  <peter1138> hmm, that's an ancient photo :)
13:56:25  <peter1138> hmm, probably 6 years old
13:56:42  <Rubidium> Belugas: call it a budget cut on hair dressing
13:56:42  <peter1138> seeing as that account was made in 2005 :)
13:57:08  <PeterT> peter1138: aha, post an updated picture then ;-)
13:57:17  <Belugas> i was talking about the last time i saw you on video ;)
13:57:32  <Belugas> Rubidium : nice idea :)
13:57:37  <peter1138> ah yes, the live video stream. that was fun :)
13:58:26  <peter1138> people look different when they're moving
13:58:47  <Belugas> quite :)
13:58:53  <Belugas> they look... normal
13:59:06  <PeterT> 2D is normal?
13:59:08  <PeterT> :-D
13:59:12  <Belugas> that's what i was thinking when looking at the 20k party shots
13:59:32  <Belugas> PeterT, close one eye and yes, 2D becomes normal!
13:59:34  <Belugas> hehehe
13:59:39  <PeterT> :D
13:59:46  <PeterT> wait...there are 20k party shots?
13:59:52  <PeterT> I only saw the cake
14:00:46  <Belugas> yeah some. the best ones are when they all got naked
14:00:48  <Belugas> funny as hell
14:01:00  <PeterT> oh gawd
14:01:43  <Belugas> hem... it was a joke...

14:02:35  <peter1138> the boardroom is quite full
14:02:42  <peter1138> oddly enough, there's 50" telly in there
14:02:59  <peter1138> i seem to be the only one not interested in whatever is showing on it
14:03:11  <PeterT> probably England versus Slovenia
14:03:42  <Belugas> maybe you were not invited?
14:04:02  <Belugas> it's time to practice your singing, peter1138 ;)
14:04:24  <peter1138> i do a good falsetto for singing beegees...
14:04:59  <peter1138> i think i'll just put some metal on
14:06:08  <Eddi|zuHause> maybe they're watching USA-Algeria :p
14:06:22  <PeterT> now, why would they watch that crap?

18:41:58  <PeterT> autopilot is a Tcl script which uses Tcl's Expect package to interface with OpenTTD's dedicated server console to provide network games with additional features not normally available with the game alone. This is the operator's manual for version 2.0 of autopilot.
18:42:07  <PeterT> errr, sorry for formatting :X

18:49:43  <attish> hello! openttd scans my home directory for tars, but my home contains symlinks to several really huge directories, and the scanning takes forever. Is there a way to turn it off or restrict it to ~/.openttd?
18:51:45  <Rubidium> it "only" checks ~/.openttd and the installation/working directory
18:52:04  <Rubidium> so if ~/ is your working directory you should change it
18:52:35  <attish> it works, thanks!
18:53:08  <attish> still, this may cause a casual user to think the program has locked up
18:53:21  <attish> I found out about the scanning via ltrace
18:54:24  <attish> do you think it's worth filing a bug report?
18:55:03  <Alberth> the main developer is aware of it, so what good would the report do?
18:55:12  <Rubidium> doubtful; it has been the way for years and changing it now would more likely break stuff
18:55:50  <Rubidium> also you seem to be the first person having ~/ as working directory as I can't remember anyone having this issue
18:56:08  <Rubidium> maybe that's because the casual user starts it from the desktop which has a different working directory?
18:56:30  <Eddi|zuHause> hm... at this rate, we'll really go home with a 0:2 :p
18:56:41  <attish> I guess I'm the first one with ~ as wd and ~ being >100 GB :)
18:57:46  <attish> casual users are at danger here
18:57:58  <Eddi|zuHause> the problem starts if you have a ~/data dir
18:58:07  <attish> indeed
18:58:15  <attish> I have one, and it's the big one
18:58:44  <attish> and renaming it to data_ cures it

19:03:38  <attish> the only right solution I can think of is to pop up a "please wait" window if the scanning takes more than 5 seconds
19:03:41  <Alberth> 'data' is too generic anyway
19:04:15  <Alberth> or don't go deeper than say 10 levels

19:04:34  <Wolf01> hi
19:04:39  <Alberth> hi Wolf01
19:04:43  <attish> in my case it wouldn't solve it, but otherwise seems worthy
19:05:00  <Rubidium> is that directory by any chance filled with tar files?
19:05:35  <peter1138> could be fun when we get gz, bz2 and good ol' zip support ;)
19:05:54  <attish> only pure .tar files, or .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 are checked too?
19:06:13  <peter1138> only pure
19:06:18  <attish> no, I have no pure tar files
19:06:25  <attish> I'm almost certain
19:06:46  <attish> if only these are checked, then it's only traversing the directory tree that takes time
19:06:51  <Alberth> find ~/data -name "*.tar" -print
19:06:52  <attish> but it shouldn't take this much
19:07:44  <attish> 0 results

19:08:35  <attish> it's strange
19:08:45  <attish> the find command returns almost immediately
19:09:06  <attish> this suggests that the directory tree is cached
19:09:39  <attish> but the scanning still takes forever to finish
19:09:48  <Rubidium> yep
19:10:07  <Rubidium> the second start of openttd should be considerably faster
19:11:03  <attish> that's my point: it should be, but it doesn't seem to be so
19:11:51  <attish> besides, CPU usage is at 100%; scanning the directory tree would mean low CPU utilization, much more time spent waiting for the FS
19:13:56  <attish> I'll look at the source
19:14:02  <Rubidium> then there might be a loop in the symlinks?

19:14:54  <attish> would ls -R fall into an infinite loop in that case?
19:16:11  <attish> because it traverses my ~/data without problems
19:16:54  <Rubidium> don't know
19:17:15  <Rubidium> I only know that OpenTTD doesn't make much of an effort to prevent such traps
19:17:53  <Rubidium> due to "too much work for too little benefit"; there is no generic API to prevent such traps
19:18:03  <attish> but these hurt reputation -- casual user launches, waits, then says OK, it hangs without a word, so it's rubbish, and uninstalls
19:19:37  <Rubidium> might be, but making OpenTTD security vulnerable or destroying the existing user base is probably way worse

19:22:13  <attish> I don't think there's a conflict here -- keep a counter of scanned files; once counter goes past say, 10000, display a window to assure the user that the program is still alive, then destroy this window once the scanning's done
19:22:22  <attish> this doesn't sound like a vulnerability
19:22:36  <attish> but I'm no security expert
19:22:48  <Rubidium> okay, that is not necessarily a security issue
19:23:03  <Rubidium> problem is... how to show the window (on especially X)
19:23:20  <attish> you have a point there :)
19:23:40  <Rubidium> assume the graphics are not found yet and as such SDL + openttd sprites doesn't work
19:24:12  <attish> check if we have X, if yes, display a very simple message box, else print a line on the console
19:24:37  <Rubidium> attish: we can't quite check for X
19:24:54  <Rubidium> unless we add X as a hard dependency
19:24:57  <attish> a simple test would be checking if DISPLAY is set
19:25:27  <Rubidium> even then, you still don't have the characters to draw something on the screen
19:27:07  <attish> frankly, I have no idea, I don't really know X
19:28:24  <attish> but I think we could use a solution that works for the "average linux desktop"
19:28:52  <attish> since everyone who uses a more limited environment will be likely to know their way around this problem
19:29:00  <Rubidium> works and doesn't break something for the rest... which is kinda a big problem
19:29:03  <Alberth> like assuming there is no 'data' directory in the cwd?  :p
19:29:47  <Alberth> perhaps a rename to 'openttd-data' ?
19:30:27  <Rubidium> Alberth: are you going to fix the directories of everyone?
19:30:38  <Rubidium> as we can't "simply" rename data to openttd-data on startup
19:31:01  <Rubidium> so you'd be effectively breaking *all* portable installation
19:31:29  <Alberth> so a change would need a few years at least
19:31:47  <frosch123> just replace "cwd" with "cwd, if not ~" :p
19:31:56  <Rubidium> attish: a major problem of OpenTTD is showing error messages early on; it has existed forever and there's hardly anything that can be done about it
19:32:36  <Rubidium> frosch123: what about /data or O:\data ?

19:46:07  <Alberth> No splash screen, please. Those are *so* annoying.
19:46:14  * Rubidium assigns Eddi to do that
19:46:37  <fjb> Hm, yes splash screens are annoying.
19:47:07  <attish> add an option to disable splash screen, then :)
19:47:20  <Alberth> better, don't add one
19:47:25  <Ammler> well, waiting and not seeing what happens is also bad
19:47:51  <Ammler> if you click openttd icon and you need to wait 10 secs...
19:48:09  <Ammler> you quite much like to click twice or more :-)
19:48:20  <Alberth> more openttds!
19:48:23  <Alberth> more fun!
19:48:24  <frosch123> don't mix it with reading grf info :) that needs caching
19:49:10  <Rubidium> and reading grf info might be done once the base graphics are found and loaded
19:49:49  <Ammler> it doesn't need a big splash screen, but a starting indicator would be nice

20:01:58  <frosch123> not that progressing type of progressbar :) the one which cycles, like on win 95/xp start
20:01:58  <glx> hmm or a progress not progressive
20:02:36  <glx> I should be able to do that on windows (file access are slow ;) )
20:03:32  <mikegrb>
20:03:43  <Alberth> why not add the path of last found stuff to the config, so you can find it fast?
20:03:53  <Alberth> ie the base graphics
20:04:46  <Rubidium> then you still have the problem the first time, which is (basically) what attish complained about (a bit)
20:05:32  <Rubidium> and if it comes from a tar then you'd need to make a list of "preload" tars as well
20:05:35  <Ammler> what is "the first time"?
20:06:03  <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: a "virgin" start without config
20:06:17  <frosch123> just after installing, when you cannot rely on any cached values
20:06:37  <Ammler> where does it cache to?
20:06:48  <Alberth> also run as part of the install?
20:07:01  <Ammler> and how do you detect updates?
20:07:14  <Alberth> that leaves out the source installs, but that is a small group
20:07:26  <Alberth> Ammler: afterwards
20:07:34  <frosch123> [22:06] <Ammler> where does it cache to? <- it does not :) but it is usally suggested when it comes to loading times :)

20:45:46  <TruePikachu> They said that the modem got infected with a virus
20:46:09  <TruePikachu> They also said that they reset the modem entirely to default settings...
20:46:46  <TruePikachu> ...however, if that was the case, this wireless connection would have been revoked because of an invalid WEP
20:47:53  <TruePikachu> I was also thinking, about how 192.168,0.250 (but with dot) gets converted to 67.49.43.176

20:48:12  <TruePikachu> I can only come up with one logical reason
20:48:35  <TruePikachu> IRC protocals used by different clients may differ
20:49:09  <TruePikachu> Just like with the CRLF debate
20:49:51  <glx> no IRC is IRC

20:49:55  <Fast2> Without knowledge of the context: The IRC-protocol is defined in an RFC, so all clients schon use the same.
20:49:57  <TruePikachu> IRSSI is a simple client, so it probably just sends everything directly as plaintext through the Internet without additional processing
20:50:02  *** SirSquidness [~sirsquidn@au.dongues.com] has joined #openttd
20:50:03  <Fast2> *schon|should
20:50:19  <glx> TruePikachu: like all IRC clients
20:50:28  <TruePikachu> Therefore, when the modem picks up the 192.168, it changes it to it's own IP address, making the target think the modem itself sent it
20:51:04  <TruePikachu> However, with some clients, they might do something like 192.168<NULL>.0.250
20:51:17  <TruePikachu> This way, it does not get changed
20:51:51  <glx> no, the router can change packets header, but not the content
20:52:41  <TruePikachu> This is the CG814WG, the 'most problematic modem ever'
20:53:18  <TruePikachu> I am pretty sure that when I was using PIRCH98 on WinXP, I typed in 192.168.0.10 all the time
20:53:40  <TruePikachu> And it was never changed

21:08:32  <Ammler> didn't see any commits :-)
21:09:03  <andythenorth> Ammler: I am working on the earningalivingdoingwork.grf
21:09:12  <Zuu> TruePikachu: If you have trains of different speeds you could give them separate tracks.
21:09:17  <Ammler> :-)
21:09:25  <TruePikachu> How would I set that up easily?
21:09:25  <Zuu> Eg RL__RL
21:09:36  <andythenorth> Ammler: have you added closure parameters to FIRS yet?
21:09:46  <andythenorth> in my dream, someone else did it :P
21:09:51  <andythenorth> i.e. not me
21:09:54  <andythenorth> so perhaps you?
21:09:55  <Zuu> Waypoints + pathfinder penalties.
21:10:01  <andythenorth> or one of 6 billion other people
21:10:04  <TruePikachu> Zuu, would L_L___R_R work, inner is faster?
21:10:06  <andythenorth> but ideally not me :P
21:10:19  <Ammler> no dev, no access
21:10:27  <TruePikachu> Wait, inner slower
21:10:43  <TruePikachu> I have 3 tile space in there to do a turnaround and tunnel
21:10:58  <Zuu> TruePikachu: Sure, if you like to do so, but the idea is that if you make them separate, then you can have simplier junctions.
21:11:25  <andythenorth> Ammler: you have root on redmine no?
21:11:32  <TruePikachu> Oh, so I'll design a L_L___R_R -> LR_LR adapter
21:11:34  <Zuu> Eg RL___RL where you have one pair for fast PAX and one for cargo.
21:11:52  <Zuu> If you eg. play with UKRS.
21:12:07  <Ammler> andythenorth: I would only commit .devzone stuff to it...
21:12:10  <TruePikachu> UKRS = ? (I know it's a GRF)
21:12:23  <Zuu> UK rail set I would believe
21:12:33  <Zuu> You'll find it on bananas.
21:12:37  <TruePikachu> Would NuRails work instead?
21:12:42  <Eddi|zuHause> R stands for Renewal
21:12:50  <TruePikachu> Zuu, no, I'll find it in my DATA folder
21:12:58  <Ammler> andythenorth: I didn't code one Action2 sprite yet
21:13:00  <Zuu> UKRS is a train set.
21:13:28  <TruePikachu> Oh, so the default trains could operate then?
21:13:38  <Zuu> where PAX trains are usually quite abit faster than the cargo trains.
21:13:59  <TruePikachu> I know, I've don Train Simulator on Marias Pass
21:14:02  <Zuu> With the default trains there is no such difference in speed between pax and cargo trains.
21:14:03  <TruePikachu> *done
21:14:12  <TruePikachu> Freight 35 Pass 60

21:15:04  <TruePikachu> Would it be a good idea to try a train GRF?
21:15:24  <Zuu> The thing is that a RR__LL-ish network would require quite a lot more complicated and space requiring junctions/intersections than a simple RL network.
21:15:33  <TruePikachu> I can't flood my systm: 797MHz PIII, 192MB RAM, 4GB Swap
21:15:55  <Zuu> Dual RL is probably more space effective than a load balanced RR__LL.
21:15:57  <TruePikachu> Zuu, I know I use different loco speeds
21:16:47  <TruePikachu> What about a LPR (Prioritised track in middle)? Oh, and I use right-hand traffic, your RL is left-hand
21:17:53  <Zuu> Never really learned what L and R means but if it is right-hand or left-hand doesn't really matter.
21:18:03  <TruePikachu> The center track can be used for passing
21:18:27  <TruePikachu> (If two locos on the PAX have different speeds I.E. AutoReplace hasn't reached them yet
21:18:31  <TruePikachu> )
21:19:08  <Zuu> The problem with passing in OpenTTD is that it seldome works well. In your case you'll probably have the behaviour that trains go back to early to their side so that the train that they just overtook will have to make a full stop.
21:19:52  <TruePikachu> That is if you do it "that way"
21:20:13  <TruePikachu> (one moment...
21:20:23  <TruePikachu> Darn, can't do multiline...
21:20:43  <Zuu> You can do in notepad/emacs/vim etc.
21:21:02  <TruePikachu> I would have 3 tracks. The center one has standard path signals facing both ways, and the outer have one-way path signals

21:22:21  <Zuu> In that case you will have a penalty of running in the centeral lane.
21:22:52  <Zuu> Which will make trains switch back as soon as they can and cut the way of for the trains in the outer lane.

21:27:03  <Zuu> A problem in OpenTTD is also that the demand fluctates alot. With assymetric demand in an IRL situation it is easier to use a revesible lane as you can keep the same direction the entire morning rush hour and then reverse it before the afternoon rush hour. That said, there is still the problem of making sure drivers are aware of the direction and not using the lane when it is closed before the reversal of it.
21:28:07  <TruePikachu> Oh, in case you're wondering, the 'prioritised passing track' has a 2 way block signal in the middle of itself
21:28:24  <Zuu> Is the passing track long enough that a train will always be able to overtake and join the outer lane at the next junction without disturbing the overtook train?
21:28:45  * TruePikachu wishes YAPF/YAPP looks ahead further
21:29:01  <TruePikachu> Zuu, ?
21:29:29  <Zuu> How often do you have intersections between the outer tracks and the middle track?
21:29:36  <TruePikachu> Not really, but I could pull the path signals back further on the outer...
21:29:50  <Zuu> You would need 20+ tiles or so unelss you have a large speed difference (and low speeds)
21:29:56  <TruePikachu> I usually put these assemblies every 12 tiles
21:30:15  <TruePikachu> It used to be 10, but I spaced
21:30:44  <TruePikachu> It might be easiest to use a LLRR___LLRR
21:31:13  <Zuu> The thing is that the overtaken train need to be able to make a full overtake including joining the outer lane again before the overtook train reaches the place where the overtakning train joins. Otherwise the overtook train will come to full stop.
21:31:33  <TruePikachu> L_L_R_R_____L_L_R_R ?
21:31:44  <TruePikachu> Extra space for prioritising assembelies
21:32:13  <TruePikachu> Wait, I might as well then just L_L_L_____R_R_R
21:32:55  <TruePikachu> brb, have to sharpen a pencil
21:32:56  <Zuu> That would require a tremendiously a lot of space for your intersections if you want to allow trains going from any track to any direction.

21:33:39  <Zuu> Going for separate LRs in a more mesh structure than having a large ML will probably use less space.
21:34:02  <Zuu> And be far easier to build.

21:34:21  <TruePikachu> My style is one station, and I send everything there, and spread out the output
21:38:01  <TruePikachu> Zuu, I'll try something like that
21:40:22  <Zuu> If overtaking would work good, then something like LL__RR with overtaking possibilities would be good. However since overtaking don't work good, there is not much point of choosing LL__RR unless you want it for the complicated look.
21:41:07  <TruePikachu> Well, I could prioritise the mainline in a rejoining junction
21:41:23  <TruePikachu> And weight off the passing track in any case
21:42:27  <TruePikachu> But should I use 2 or 3 spaces in the middle of the tracks?
21:42:38  <TruePikachu> You keep putting 2, but what is a good number for it?

21:58:19  <planetmaker> TruePikachu: the space between tracks is utterly irrelevant
21:58:29  <planetmaker> It only matters somewhat when you add junctions
21:58:55  <planetmaker> and there you place the tracks anyway however they need to go to make the junction work
