I guess it is eh :) 10:14:43 <andythenorth> yes 10:14:51 <andythenorth> as is FIRS trunk 10:14:58 <andythenorth> which has the improved station algorithm :D 10:15:09 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=49910&start=20 - You can help out, if you have so much time, and being interested :) 10:15:11 * planetmaker doesn't need that 10:15:36 * planetmaker has no problem with station rating 10:15:45 <Diablo-D3> norbert79: the only reason I dont code on openttd is there might be no openttd left after Im done 10:15:57 <V453000> andythenorth: cool then I will test soon probably =D 10:16:01 <Diablo-D3> and openttd is rather too political for my tastes 10:16:02 <planetmaker> Diablo-D3, I can ensure you, there will be 10:16:10 <planetmaker> "political"? 10:16:15 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: Dude, seriously, you have some serious issues :) 10:16:29 <Diablo-D3> norbert79: after being part of the foss community for over a decade? you would too. 10:16:47 <andythenorth> everything is political 10:16:53 <andythenorth> unless you plough your own furrow 10:17:01 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: After what I have seen from you over the past few days, I even doubt, that you are over 18... 10:17:02 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: yes, but there are those who love to cause shit 10:17:07 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: they ruin the development process. 10:17:23 <Diablo-D3> norbert79: I was a much younger person when I was 18. 10:17:40 <planetmaker> have you matured since? 10:17:51 <V453000> jesus christ 10:17:57 <norbert79> planetmaker: Rethorical question, I assume 10:18:17 <andythenorth> maybe thinking time is over :P 10:18:48 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: Btw define 'political'. If it's political having own views, well, in this view everyone is a politican. I guess you just don't even understand such basic terms, and causes confusion for you. 10:19:11 <andythenorth> planetmaker: you have no problem with station rating? Probably because you build high-capacity, high-speed networks :D 10:19:42 <planetmaker> andythenorth, no, I didn't 10:19:50 <Diablo-D3> norbert79: I define political as what projects become when you let non-coders have any say in the final product. 10:20:00 <Diablo-D3> hell, even defining it as a "product" is political. 10:20:03 <planetmaker> http://devs.openttd.org/~planetmaker/patches/firstest_03_fmsp_serivce.png <-- typical 10:20:10 <planetmaker> ^ andythenorth 10:20:11 <norbert79> andythenorth: http://norbert79.deviantart.com/gallery/26407951 - Would this collection defined as being a high-speed network? :) 10:20:35 <planetmaker> per industry 1..3 trains suffice to keep it good 10:20:35 <andythenorth> yes 10:21:05 <andythenorth> hmm 10:21:06 <planetmaker> thus local-transport via truck. And then mid to long-range link via train 10:21:08 <planetmaker> works perfect 10:21:14 <V453000> norbert79: not with the 88kmh curves in some stations :P 10:21:27 <norbert79> V453000: Which picture you are looking at? 10:21:29 <planetmaker> thus not industries get a station, but rather an industrial complex 10:21:39 <V453000> 3 10:21:43 <norbert79> moment, checking 10:21:53 <planetmaker> sometimes I make one station with several sub-stations (i.e. 1-track stations adjacent) for pickup 10:21:55 <andythenorth> planetmaker: yes, that's like inverse piglet technique, that works with RVs 10:21:59 <planetmaker> seems still to work 10:22:10 <andythenorth> do you have any primaries (coal, iron ore) etc with trains picking up directly? 10:22:13 <norbert79> V453000: That's basically a drop.off station, and goods-trains only visit the place a bit rare 10:22:22 <V453000> :p 10:22:26 <Diablo-D3> hrm 10:22:27 <planetmaker> andythenorth, having each farm have a train connection is bollocks. Especially as they're clustered 10:22:39 <andythenorth> yes, that's the point with farms :) 10:22:42 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: yeah but thats the problem 10:22:43 <norbert79> V453000: Besides, I even preferred the ro-ro method, because of the raw materials incoming... 10:22:44 <planetmaker> Also mines do cluster. Thus I can use trucks there, too 10:22:46 <Diablo-D3> farms ARENT clustered 10:22:54 <V453000> arent they? 10:22:57 <Diablo-D3> I'd love to have the game spawn a shitload of clustered mines and farms 10:22:57 <andythenorth> aren't they? 10:23:04 <andythenorth> how odd 10:23:05 <andythenorth> mine doe 10:23:06 <andythenorth> s 10:23:11 <norbert79> andythenorth: So does mine... 10:23:14 <Diablo-D3> but instead they're all over the damned place randomy splattered 10:23:15 <andythenorth> that's bizarre 10:23:16 <planetmaker> Diablo-D3, of course they are 10:23:23 <planetmaker> they're nicely clustered 10:23:34 <Diablo-D3> I have never seen that in a game of ottd ever. 10:23:36 <planetmaker> when you play with FIRS 10:23:39 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: You see, well, no, I form it different: Have you ever moved out of your flat? 10:23:42 <planetmaker> you missed our topic, see 10:23:46 * andythenorth mentions concept empricism 10:23:59 <Diablo-D3> Im using firs 10:24:23 <Diablo-D3> maybe I have my industry setting too low, what are you guys using for new map settings? 10:24:23 <andythenorth> screenshot - maybe you found an edge case 10:24:35 <andythenorth> clustering isn't bomb-proof, it can fail 10:24:47 <planetmaker> andythenorth, can it? 10:24:52 <andythenorth> yes 10:25:02 <planetmaker> to me the algorithm looked pretty bullet-proof 10:25:03 <Diablo-D3> yeah, but Im using absurdly large map sizes with absurdly low industry spawning 10:25:16 <andythenorth> there are certain combinations of map size + industry setting + randomness that will fail clustering 10:25:17 <norbert79> V453000: Btw Picture 1 was a huge challenege, so was 4. 4 was necessary because of the traffic around the places, and 1 was a solution, where the town wasn't really cooperating, and I hate being corruptive :) 10:25:17 <planetmaker> like N clusters, and build there or don't 10:25:31 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: yeah but thats wrong 10:25:37 <andythenorth> planetmaker: the algorithm is pretty sound, but it scales by map size 10:25:40 <Diablo-D3> a cluster needs a minimum spawn limit to spawn 10:25:49 <Diablo-D3> so either spawn 4 or 5 farms, or dont at all 10:25:49 <planetmaker> ach, Diablo-D3, do you ever see anything you see as 'not wrong'? 10:25:59 <norbert79> planetmaker: Himself... 10:26:03 <andythenorth> planetmaker so testing the algorithm for all combinations of variables is pretty impossible... 10:26:13 <V453000> norbert79: 1 looks fun, 4 is ... well ... that kind of hubs is bad in general :) but if it works for your needs 10:26:15 <planetmaker> and do you have any idea about the used algorithms before you recommend any specific procedure? 10:26:19 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: see what you just did right there? thats politics. 10:26:33 <V453000> Diablo-D3: why do you even discuss stuff here, seriously 10:26:43 <V453000> everything is political and wrong, so ... 10:26:53 <andythenorth> of course it's politics 10:26:54 <Diablo-D3> V453000: honestly, I dont know. openttd has always resisted change. 10:27:02 <norbert79> V453000: I don't really am comfortable with too many bridges and tunnels, I just extended the regular cloverleaf formation, and addedd possibility for buffering if a train crashes down 10:27:02 <Terkhen> I wonder how asking someone why he is so annyoing is political :P 10:27:04 <andythenorth> politics is how we get stuff done 10:27:05 <Diablo-D3> a lot of devs are like LOL PATCHES, and then when people provide patches they never make it in 10:27:17 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: but thats the thing, politics has never gotten anything done 10:27:17 <andythenorth> the patches are FAIL 10:27:33 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: That's every development is all about. 10:27:38 <andythenorth> Diablo-D3: can you provide evidence that politics never got anything done? 10:27:44 <andythenorth> I can provide counter evidence if that helps 10:27:48 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: It's like cooking, but I guess you never done that for real 10:27:49 <V453000> norbert79: well, okay :) but making 3way junctions is much better than 4ways in general :P not always, in general 10:27:53 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: everything in the united states government post 1970. 10:28:14 <andythenorth> politics very nearly got a technical default done recently 10:28:19 <andythenorth> that would have been quite a lot stuff 10:28:20 <planetmaker> Diablo-D3, no, it's not. It's just that 'recommendations' out of the blue without considering anything but a VERY narrow view - if considering anything to do with the background at all 10:28:36 <V453000> ^ 10:28:40 <andythenorth> politics also got about 14m people killed by Stalin. That's lots done 10:28:42 <Diablo-D3> all I see is people basically not wanting openttd to become a bigger game. 10:28:43 <norbert79> V453000: Yes, I reconsidered many options, and ended up with that design. Seemed to be working well, without any blockage or slowing down. Can send you savegame if you would like to have it 10:28:45 <Terkhen> Diablo-D3: fork and prove us wrong :) 10:28:55 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: if you consider that an accomplishment, you are a fucked up person. 10:28:58 <V453000> norbert79: I think I can imagine it quite well :) 10:29:06 <planetmaker> And it's not like your "observations" describe a problem such that anyone could even follow your descriptions of your perceived problems. 10:29:09 <V453000> Diablo-D3: you are the only one fucked up here 10:29:11 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: You are crossing a line here dude... 10:29:22 <planetmaker> You usually just mutter "this is bad", "that doesn't work" or "this should be done" 10:29:23 <andythenorth> nah, he's not really 10:29:24 <planetmaker> oh right 10:29:26 <andythenorth> I'm trolling him 10:29:35 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: and you're not very good at it =/ 10:29:41 <norbert79> andythenorth: I know, yet he should be able to see that 10:29:45 <andythenorth> if he swore a bit less, he'd be interesting 10:29:48 <V453000> yes because you dong get it Diablo-D3 10:29:58 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: normally people dont go straight for hitler/stalin this early 10:30:23 <andythenorth> hmm 10:30:24 <andythenorth> good point 10:30:33 <norbert79> we can stick to Mao Ce Tung too 10:30:39 <andythenorth> I was going to mention Mao 10:30:44 <Diablo-D3> lmao. 10:30:46 <norbert79> Hah, was faster 10:31:07 * andythenorth has to go do some work 10:31:12 <norbert79> But I can mention the purification wars, that was also fun 10:31:38 <Diablo-D3> But yeah, clearly a lot of work has been done on the height level patch, yet there is no git branch for it (due to the fact ottd doesnt even use git, which is another problem), and no discussion of it being merged into master 10:31:43 <planetmaker> work...? hm, yes, let's beautify another plot 10:32:06 <Diablo-D3> Outside developers see a lot of really useful work to make openttd be a better game being wasted, so why would anyone seriously consider it? 10:32:06 <planetmaker> Diablo-D3, see, there you start again, senselessly complaining without getting the facts straight 10:32:12 <planetmaker> openttd has svn, hg and git repos 10:32:14 <Terkhen> Diablo-D3: if you manage to convince the more height levels author to use git or another proper version control system we would be quite grateful 10:32:23 <planetmaker> Terkhen, he started using hg 10:32:24 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: thats even worse. it needs exactly one. 10:32:27 <Terkhen> oh, nice to know :) 10:32:34 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: We were told, that you know everything, you can code, you can do anything you would like to. Why don't you and start on your own patch? You said you won't do it, because it's political. Isn't it, that you don't have a clue about anything? 10:32:45 <planetmaker> Diablo-D3, for what benefit? 10:32:46 <Terkhen> Diablo-D3: why only one? 10:32:55 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: to make it easier for developers. 10:33:01 <Terkhen> in which way is that easier? 10:33:01 * planetmaker disagrees 10:33:04 <planetmaker> ^ 10:33:10 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: Did you EVER done ANY kind of development? 10:33:12 <Diablo-D3> lots of projects have done stupid things like that, and it only makes developing large projects much more difficult. 10:33:17 <Diablo-D3> norbert79: yeah, frequently. 10:33:23 <Terkhen> I prefer mercurial, other prefers svn, others git 10:33:24 <Diablo-D3> but see, there you go with the politics again 10:33:26 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: You did shit dude, show us at least 1 thing 10:33:31 <Diablo-D3> its like being stuck in a fox news echo chamber. 10:33:35 * planetmaker really wonders how using the VCS of my choice makes it more difficult for me 10:33:35 <andythenorth> Diablo-D3: the politics case doesn't work 10:33:36 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: Stop bullshitting and show us something 10:33:40 <Diablo-D3> next you'll be asking me to provide my birth certificate. 10:33:46 <V453000> LOL 10:33:49 <Terkhen> it seems that disagreeing with him is political :P 10:33:58 <andythenorth> Diablo-D3: which one VCS should ottd adopt? 10:34:02 <Diablo-D3> Terkhen: attacking people using baseless insults is political. 10:34:03 <norbert79> Terkhen: Typical attitude... 10:34:16 <andythenorth> it's not political, it's an ad-hominem attack 10:34:29 <planetmaker> disagreeing isn't 10:34:29 <Diablo-D3> ad hominem attacks are the new face of politics. 10:34:31 <Terkhen> so... saying that different developers prefer different VCS is a baseless insult against you? 10:34:35 <andythenorth> you conflate politics and rhetoric 10:34:38 <Diablo-D3> well, the old face too. 10:34:43 <norbert79> Terkhen: he is lying as hell, has nothing in hands, and he blames you for everything... Sounds like someone coming from the same happy group like Tom Cruise... 10:34:55 <planetmaker> haha :-) 10:35:00 <Diablo-D3> see? the baseless insults. 10:35:05 <andythenorth> Diablo-D3: anyway, which one VCS should ottd adopt? 10:35:09 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: True or untrue? 10:35:16 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: True or not true? 10:35:20 <norbert79> tell us 10:35:20 <Diablo-D3> norbert79: hell no, I support operation clambake. 10:35:28 <norbert79> *facepalm* 10:35:34 <Terkhen> ignore what you consider baseless attacks and answer the rest of the questions 10:35:36 <norbert79> that wasn't I asking about 10:35:53 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: git, largely. there doesnt seem to be another one thats nearly as good. 10:36:05 <Terkhen> why git? I prefer mercurial 10:36:11 <Terkhen> it's simpler for me to use 10:36:12 <Diablo-D3> Terkhen: yeah so did I for awhile 10:36:22 <andythenorth> is there a technical evaluation that demonstrates git is empirically better? 10:36:27 <norbert79> Aw, what the hell, why I am even trying, let's grow my ignore list a bit... 10:36:28 * andythenorth is interested 10:36:30 <Diablo-D3> but the "git is hard to use" argument died out post-cognito and major usability changes 10:36:45 * planetmaker senses vapour 10:36:46 <Diablo-D3> and hg and git largely both do the same stuff internally 10:36:49 * andythenorth is interested, because git-hub seems to be now default 10:36:51 <Terkhen> and? 10:37:00 <Terkhen> I still don't want to learn another VCS :P 10:37:00 <Diablo-D3> and andy just brought up a good point 10:37:08 <Diablo-D3> theres still no hg equiv to github 10:37:14 <planetmaker> lool 10:37:17 <orudge> Diablo-D3: you can, of course, choose to use the OpenTTD git repository, though. You can branch it, work on your own patches in it, etc. What's the problem? 10:37:18 <Diablo-D3> there is two sites that try to do the same and dont even come close 10:37:22 <andythenorth> in other places I work, git is now becoming the 'required' VCS. 10:37:24 <Diablo-D3> s/is/are/ 10:37:32 <planetmaker> Diablo-D3, you err again on the side of facts 10:37:41 <Diablo-D3> okay hows this 10:37:43 <Diablo-D3> I use both daily 10:37:49 <norbert79> orudge: Hah, welcome. I guess Diablo-D3 just made you also appear... 10:37:53 <planetmaker> bitbucket works nicely with hg and is the github equivalent 10:37:56 <Diablo-D3> git works more efficiently and more projects that I follow use it. 10:38:01 <V453000> guess banning people is uncommon here 10:38:08 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: bitbucket isnt nearly as flexible imo 10:38:09 * andythenorth supposes that git might win 10:38:22 <norbert79> V453000: Wait, isn't that political? But wait, if we change that common, would it be less political? :) 10:38:27 <planetmaker> V453000, we're having fun ;-) 10:38:34 <Diablo-D3> for really basic usage, git and hg _are_ identical 10:38:38 <Terkhen> my point is: this discussion would make sense if we were forced to use a single version control system 10:38:38 <V453000> I know :P dont worr 10:38:39 <V453000> y 10:38:43 <Terkhen> luckily we are not in that situation 10:38:46 <Diablo-D3> they just use different names for the same commands 10:38:54 <andythenorth> Terkhen: why not just use one vcs? 10:38:57 <andythenorth> it would be easier 10:39:03 <Terkhen> easier for who? 10:39:07 <planetmaker> good. why would I then use one and not the other, or not even which I prefer? 10:39:10 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: they're saying Im wrong because OH THINK OF THE DEVELOPERS or some other nonsense 10:39:22 <orudge> also, for what it's worth, Diablo-D3, if you're not happy with the way OpenTTD is run, you can of course fork it and start your own project ;) 10:39:30 <Terkhen> Diablo-D3: you failed to say what it is better :P 10:39:33 <Diablo-D3> orudge: Ive thought about it, but thats not the solution 10:39:36 <norbert79> Why not using one OS for everyone, let's say it would be Linux. Wouldn't it be much easier for everyone? Or cars, let's everyone one type of car... 10:39:41 <Diablo-D3> what makes ottd what it is is the community, not the code 10:39:58 <andythenorth> by requiring git, we'd reduce friction 10:39:58 <Terkhen> so... it is better for the community to force all of them to use a single version control system 10:39:59 <Diablo-D3> and I'd rather see ottd split up into a framework that makes it easier to make these kinds of games 10:39:59 <norbert79> lol.. Let's compile the community, instead of the code :) 10:40:11 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: I agree 10:40:14 <Terkhen> andythenorth: what do you mean? 10:40:18 <andythenorth> having multiple vcs is an overhead 10:40:18 <V453000> I want to see how you compile me norbert79 :P 10:40:24 <planetmaker> andythenorth, how so? 10:40:27 <norbert79> V453000: So do I :) 10:40:29 <andythenorth> and it means we attract multiple kinds of developers 10:40:34 <V453000> norbert79: might be tough :D 10:41:05 <norbert79> V453000: Aye :) I am just jumping off from this conv. I am already exhausted by this nonsense already. 10:41:08 <V453000> norbert79: but it might be rewarding, you might create "quite" a successful AI :P 10:41:10 <Terkhen> I don't think that's bad 10:41:16 <V453000> norbert79: yeye :D 10:41:17 <norbert79> V453000: Good point there 10:41:23 <Terkhen> the more the merrier I think 10:41:44 <Diablo-D3> heh, I like how norbert79 calls it nonsense 10:42:13 <Diablo-D3> yet denies its politics. 10:42:17 <andythenorth> having multiple vcs means more people can pick up and work with the code, because they can use the vcs of their choice 10:42:20 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: I was thinking on you dude, and your bull... 10:42:29 <andythenorth> this doesn't result in more good patches 10:42:31 <Diablo-D3> see? he continues to deny its politics. 10:42:36 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: exactly! 10:42:39 <Terkhen> why not? 10:42:55 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: and people who actually code on a daily basis get this 10:42:56 <planetmaker> andythenorth, sure it doesn't? 10:43:04 <norbert79> Terkhen: Using more systems doesn't mean automatically improvment, but a chance of involving more people. 10:43:04 <andythenorth> it would be better to attract more external developers 10:43:11 <norbert79> andythenorth: Exactly 10:43:14 <andythenorth> having only git would attract more external developers 10:43:22 <Terkhen> why? 10:43:26 <norbert79> andythenorth: Doubt 10:43:35 <andythenorth> because there are *many* developers out there who know that cool projects use git 10:43:43 <andythenorth> if you don't use git, defacto, you're not a cool project 10:43:43 <Terkhen> openttd uses git too 10:43:45 <norbert79> andythenorth: Oh, I get it :D 10:43:48 <andythenorth> *only* git 10:43:53 <Terkhen> why should it use only git? 10:43:53 <Diablo-D3> hey, lots of uncool projects use git too you know 10:44:00 <andythenorth> I've seen the same in numerous web frameworks over the last decade 10:44:05 <norbert79> Diablo-D3: But it's not cool then using GIT... 10:44:13 <orudge> we should just abandon all these VCSes and use CVS instead :p 10:44:15 <Diablo-D3> Terkhen: because what the hell does it serve us to have 9000 vcses 10:44:17 <andythenorth> basically to attract developers, you need a certain combination of cool technologies 10:44:20 <norbert79> orudge: Aye! 10:44:27 <planetmaker> hm... CVS... 10:44:28 <Terkhen> Diablo-D3: you have failed to answer all of my questions 10:44:29 <andythenorth> you also need a more liberal attitude to commits 10:44:35 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: ooh! ooh! we can port ottd to java+seam3! 10:44:44 <Diablo-D3> and draw the graphics with html5! 10:44:47 <Diablo-D3> ottd in your browser! 10:44:53 <dihedral> .... 10:44:55 * Diablo-D3 's head explodes 10:44:59 * planetmaker considers a +m 10:45:06 <dihedral> why do you highlight me? 10:45:07 <dihedral> :-P 10:45:21 <planetmaker> dihedral, that is now really unfortunate :-) 10:45:23 <norbert79> dihedral: Lol 10:45:24 <dihedral> planetmaker, please rather consider only a +q 10:45:25 <andythenorth> http://www.unleashedmind.com/en/blog/sun/the-drupal-crisis 10:45:29 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: no, ottd is big enough we need a merge master 10:45:33 <dihedral> planetmaker, :-) 10:45:34 <dihedral> yep 10:45:35 <planetmaker> :-) 10:45:38 <andythenorth> Drupal has done it correctly, one vcs, and an open attitude to commits 10:45:41 <andythenorth> Drupal is now huge 10:45:41 <dihedral> the 'java' part did it :-D 10:45:59 <V453000> dihedral: how come highlights? nobody wrote beer 10:46:01 <andythenorth> the Drupal attitude is that core developers only maintain core, and wider community devs maintain the rest 10:46:02 <dihedral> drupals bootloading can take a huge amount of time 10:46:03 <Diablo-D3> wait, you're seriously going to bitch about me saying java? 10:46:08 <dihedral> in miliseconds of course :-D 10:46:17 <andythenorth> Drupal has won 10:46:20 <Terkhen> andythenorth: OpenTTD does that too... the "rest" is NewGRFS and AIs 10:46:28 <andythenorth> not using Drupal is now a huge problem commercially 10:46:33 <dihedral> Diablo-D3, if you had been in this channel for more than just a few days you would know when i am bitching around ;-) 10:46:40 <Diablo-D3> newgrf isnt flexible enough when the most important changes need to be done to "the core" 10:46:51 <Terkhen> I still don't follow much of your points, andythenorth 10:47:01 <dihedral> oh - hello Terkhen 10:47:02 <dihedral> :-) 10:47:03 <Elukka> did diablo ever link one of the many things he has developed 10:47:11 <norbert79> Elukka: Nope 10:47:20 <Diablo-D3> no, and I dont have to. 10:47:27 <norbert79> lol, because none exist 10:47:29 <dihedral> hehe 10:47:30 <orudge> [11:44:28] <andythenorth> you also need a more liberal attitude to commits <-- I dunno, the current system at least keeps things of a high quality. There are a lot of poor patches posted to the forum - would you really want all of those in core game? 10:47:32 <Diablo-D3> last time I noticed you're big enough to use google. 10:47:33 <Elukka> it would strengthen your otherwise baseless case a bit 10:47:39 <dihedral> hello owen 10:47:43 <orudge> There are no doubt a few good patches that get overlooked as well, to be fair 10:47:45 <andythenorth> orudge: but then it would be a bigger game 10:47:46 <andythenorth> and win 10:47:47 <Terkhen> I can follow your logic on the more open commits policy, but I don't think that applies to openttd because ^ 10:47:48 <orudge> 'lo dihedral 10:47:52 *** Zephyris [~Zephyris_@client-7-246.eduroam.oxuni.org.uk] has quit [Quit: Bye] 10:47:56 <Diablo-D3> at least andythenorth gets it 10:47:58 <Elukka> anyway, diablo, since you're good at development, and don't like ottd's politics, why don't you make your own branch? 10:48:00 <andythenorth> the assumption is that we want to be big and win? 10:48:08 <Diablo-D3> Elukka: Ive considered it, and its not worth it. 10:48:14 <Elukka> why not? 10:48:14 <Terkhen> but I don't understand the whole "single VCS is better, git even better", at least not without reasons 10:48:28 <Diablo-D3> if I have to fight with the original developers to get shit done, then its not worth forking to begin with 10:48:34 <Elukka> what 10:48:39 <andythenorth> Diablo-D3: *that* doesn't make sense 10:48:41 <Elukka> no, you don't have to deal with the original developers at all 10:48:43 <Terkhen> you don't have to fight 10:48:44 <Elukka> if you make your own fork it's yours 10:48:50 <Terkhen> create a fork and do whatever you want 10:48:52 <Elukka> you don't ever have to even talk to the original devs if you dislike them so much 10:48:54 <dihedral> Diablo-D3, did i just see that correctly? you valued your own code? 10:49:07 <Terkhen> since OpenTTD supports all three mayor VCS systems, you can even clone it to the one of your liking :) 10:49:16 <dihedral> hehe 10:49:20 <dihedral> and keep it private :-P 10:49:34 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: no, it makes sense perfectly. code is a product of the developers. 10:49:38 <andythenorth> ? 10:49:39 <andythenorth> ÷ 10:49:40 <andythenorth> ¿ 10:49:54 <andythenorth> fork is what happens when you fall out with the developers 10:49:57 <Elukka> you could make your own website and never go to tt forums and never say a word to the devs and make your own version of openttd 10:49:59 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: if the developers cant act like developers on the outside, why even care if they can act like developers on the inside and actually produce code worth saving? 10:50:10 <Elukka> so, what other reasons do you have for not doing it 10:50:16 <Diablo-D3> andythenorth: fork is what happens when the developers have failed. 10:50:21 <dihedral> Diablo-D3, i think you might want to step down a bit ;-) 10:50:35 <dihedral> you are entering a thin-ice area 10:50:41 * andythenorth is mostly just baffled 10:50:46 <norbert79> Holy...

This blew my mind... 10:53:37 <planetmaker> and according to blat hijs he did so already time before 10:53:46 <andythenorth> if it was a commercial product, once VCS would be best 10:53:50 <andythenorth> but it's not 10:53:52 <Terkhen> andythenorth: I'm curious about that too, please elaborate :P 10:54:00 <planetmaker> andythenorth, we have one authorative VCS - that's svn 10:54:03 <planetmaker> which is fine 10:54:04 <dihedral> i am not quite sure i feel comfortable with op for longer than a few seconds ^^ 10:54:10 <norbert79> andythenorth: I will tell you a little secret: even for commercial stuff sometimes more VCS are preferred. seen it :) 10:54:21 <planetmaker> thanks, dihedral for the dirty work ;-) 10:54:26 <dihedral> any time :-) 10:54:27 <andythenorth> more than one is an overhead on your team 10:54:37 <andythenorth> unless you have revisions and such perfectly in sync 10:54:45 <planetmaker> andythenorth, but it just works w/o really much maintenance 10:54:47 <norbert79> andythenorth: That was the case of course 10:54:52 <planetmaker> and it increases developer productivity 10:55:00 <andythenorth> possibly 10:55:02 <planetmaker> as they're all at ease with what they can use 10:55:06 *** mode/#openttd [-o dihedral] by dihedral 10:55:06 <dihedral> \o/ 10:55:07 <dihedral> there we go 10:55:10 <Terkhen> let him finish :P 10:55:23 <norbert79> Sure otherwise it wouldn't make much sense... But let's just move on these topics, I am stuffed 10:55:36 <dihedral> then dont eat so much ^^ 10:55:37 <andythenorth> planetmaker: in a commercial environment, something lik svn vs. a distributed vcs imposes quite different practices 10:55:46 <norbert79> dihedral: Lol... Was hard to avoid. :) 10:55:56 <dihedral> in a commectial env - such as with bosh - they will not use svn :-P 10:56:04 <andythenorth> we have to :P 10:56:10 * Terkhen would probably prefer a single VCS in a commercial environment too, as long as it is not SVN 10:56:12 <planetmaker> andythenorth, not quite... you still will have a central repo. 10:56:17 <dihedral> i know bosh uses the one from ibm 10:56:19 <dihedral> clear something 10:56:34 <planetmaker> One might use a DVCS as authorative instance, but still, no practical change really 10:56:47 <norbert79> dihedral: IBM rational you mean? 10:56:47 <dihedral> and a central repo is quite important in an comecial env 10:56:54 <planetmaker> andythenorth, and yes, all of us may under threat of death penalty only commit to the svn repo 10:57:02 <andythenorth> hmm 10:57:03 <planetmaker> but develop from whichever repo we want 10:57:06 <dihedral> yes - clearcase 10:57:09 <andythenorth> there was a blog post somewhere 10:57:30 <Elukka> andy: does FIRS work the same in climates besides temperate? 10:57:32 <norbert79> dihedral: Just fyi: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/clearcase/ 10:57:47 <andythenorth> basically distributed vcs allows team members to sit and develop happily in their local repo....then possibly face huge merges just before ship 10:57:49 <planetmaker> Elukka, yes 10:57:52 <Elukka> \o/ 10:57:55 <andythenorth> which means delayed ship, or dropped features 10:57:57 <planetmaker> except sugar cargo is called different 10:58:12 <norbert79> Hmm... yeah... did you fill out those TPS reports? 10:58:16 <andythenorth> svn has...different...problems 10:58:23 <Terkhen> Elukka: yes, except in toyland :P 10:58:25 <planetmaker> andythenorth, the advantage of dvcs is: you don't break anything 10:58:31 <Elukka> aww i always wanted toyland 10:58:34 <Elukka> (not really) 10:58:38 <Terkhen> andythenorth: yes, that's why I wouldn't want to use SVN only 10:58:43 <andythenorth> sometimes you want to break stuff as fast as possible 10:58:47 <planetmaker> if I were to decide what to use, I'd go for a dvcs 10:58:49 <andythenorth> it means it then gets fixed 10:58:50 <planetmaker> easier 10:58:51 <Elukka> somewhat relatedly, are those nutracks in that screenshot you linked earlier, planetmaker? 10:58:52 <peter1138> git = win 10:59:02 <planetmaker> Elukka, no. It's swedish rails 10:59:07 <dihedral> i consider it worse seeing companies still hung up on cvs :-P 10:59:07 <Elukka> hm. they look nice 10:59:22 <andythenorth> moving your repo + all development practice is a headache 10:59:24 <planetmaker> nutracks "stole" the graphics 10:59:28 <norbert79> Hah, good idea on Toyland, gonna play one round on that scenery tonight. 10:59:34 <planetmaker> (they may of course, they give proper credits) 10:59:37 <dihedral> "can you please check out this svn repo" - client goes to Netbeans -> team -> cvs -> checkout 10:59:41 <dihedral> ... "does not work!" 10:59:43 <Terkhen> well, the huge merges are IMO a team organization problem 10:59:43 <Elukka> i'm slightly conflicted over whether i want to use nutracks 10:59:56 <peter1138> cvs = fail 11:00:00 <Elukka> on one hand it seems interesting on the other it seems like it'd be a bit annoying once you reach the point that money isn't that relevant 11:00:01 <Terkhen> the tool allows it, but it shouldn't encourage it 11:00:07 <planetmaker> Elukka, SwedishRails has more apt snow graphics ;-) 11:00:14 <andythenorth> Terkhen: you can have same problem with svn branches tbh 11:00:28 <planetmaker> but it has no other use than improve graphics of default rails 11:00:29 <norbert79> damn, I was indeed curious on Diablo's many development stuff... 11:00:53 <Elukka> kinda preferring them to cs railroad tracks from the screenshot 11:00:54 <planetmaker> </shameless plug> 11:00:58 <Elukka> at least for a change 11:01:37 <planetmaker> Terkhen, well, svn branches are a similar thing. Like NoAI also was a huge merge 11:01:43 <peter1138> norbert79, google it 11:01:46 <planetmaker> Which is for such features IMHO an acceptable thing 11:01:58 <norbert79> peter1138: Already on it, found nothing so far 11:02:24 <Terkhen> I don't remember it exactly... but I'm quite sure that the NoAI branch wasn't merged a week before a new release 11:02:27 <Elukka> hm. well, now i want swedish houses too 11:02:33 <Elukka> anything else in that series? :P 11:02:35 <Terkhen> probably months before 11:02:56 <peter1138> some bitcoin thing 11:03:11 <Elukka> hahahaha bitcoins 11:03:15 <norbert79> peter1138: Aye... https://github.com/Diablo-D3/DiabloMiner/wiki 11:03:39 <Elukka> bitcoins are a pretend currency for paranoid conspiracy theorist libertarians 11:03:50 <Terkhen> huh... I never heard of that 11:04:03 <APTX> bitcoins are a scam 11:04:08 <Elukka> they say the something awful forums (which poked fun of them) are controlled by freemasons and the police :D 11:04:17 <andythenorth> http://adterrasperaspera.com/ 11:04:29 <Elukka> APTX it's hard to tell if it's a scam or plain idiocy 11:04:45 <Elukka> it does share a lot with pyramid schemes though 11:04:55 <APTX> it favours the ones who start sooner 11:04:59 <Elukka> yeah 11:05:01 <APTX> ... exactly 11:05:09 <planetmaker> Terkhen, it was in January somewhen. And no, I didn't mean any specific time. A week for such big change might be too big 11:05:15 <Elukka> also the creator's real name isn't known and he held a lot of the bitcoins for himself 11:05:28 <norbert79> http://sourceforge.net/users/diablo-d3/ - one more link from him...

Luckily 12:58:23 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, but the beautiful dbset level crossings don't show then ;) 12:58:43 <Elukka> planetmaker, how do you convince swedish rails to work on bridges? 12:59:13 <norbert79> european roadset 12:59:20 <norbert79> used to use it a lot 12:59:32 <Pinkbeast> Anyone know why there _is_ a limit on the number of railtypes? 12:59:42 <planetmaker> Elukka, they simply work 12:59:47 <Eddi|zuHause> i used to use combined roadset in the past. but it is badly coded and throws errors nowadays 13:00:01 <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: map bits 13:00:08 <planetmaker> i.e. they draw their rails on top of the bridge-supplied surface 13:00:20 <Elukka> it's loading default tracks on bridges for me 13:01:29 <Pinkbeast> Ah, which is also why paired diagonal tracks have to be the same type, etc... but surely these days adding another couple of bytes to each tile is acceptable? 13:02:33 <planetmaker> hm... Elukka I guess you have a point there :-) 13:02:41 <planetmaker> I should officially release an update ;-) 13:02:52 <Elukka> it might dislike the presence of metro tracks 13:02:55 <planetmaker> Nightly versions of it support it, though 13:03:22 <Elukka> ooh 13:03:54 <Elukka> gonna grab the nightly then 13:04:28 <Pinkbeast> Hm. I wonder if stuff most tiles don't have (like rails) could be done with a pointer into a different data structure the elements of which could be bigger. 13:06:04 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, they could. But it'd have a speed impact 13:06:18 <planetmaker> which is why it's not done (so far) 13:06:28 <Elukka> is there any other danger to using the custom tunnel portals in multiplayer besides possibly conflicting graphics? 13:06:58 <planetmaker> no 13:07:02 <Elukka> alright 13:07:10 <Pinkbeast> planetmaker> OK - or what's the impact of saying "the hell with it" and adding a few bytes to each map tile? But I guess the number of rail types could actually eat up a lot of bits 13:07:47 *** Belugas [~belugas@216.191.111.237] has joined #openttd 13:07:50 *** mode/#openttd [+o Belugas] by ChanServ 13:07:59 <Pinkbeast> ... let's say 4 bits of speed times 2 bits of gauge times 1 bit for 3rd rail times 1 bit for overhead times 2 bits for things I haven't thought of... hm, not _so_ much 13:08:05 <Belugas> good day 13:09:44 <planetmaker> http://hg.openttd.org/openttd/trunk.hg/raw-file/b0317b5b8793/docs/landscape.html <-- Pinkbeast. The used railtype is just a number on the tile. The rest is global to the railtype 13:09:45 <Belugas> mmh... 10 bits? why stop at 10? make it 16, it would look better :) 13:09:50 <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: roughly, at a map size of 2048x2048 (current maximum), one byte per tile is 4MB 13:09:50 <planetmaker> and not stored on the tile 13:10:28 <Pinkbeast> planetmaker> er yes but the number of bits required can still be calculated like so 13:10:52 <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: which is not a lot in itself, but a) there are handheld and mobile devices which should work with low map sizes, and b) if you add one byte, then another, then another two, and so on, you quickly have uncontrolled growth 13:10:54 <Pinkbeast> When I say "4 bits of speed" I don't mean "4 bits encoding the maximum speed", I mean "allow for 16 different railway speeds" 13:11:16 <Pinkbeast> It'd be up to a railtype grf how to _use_ the bits, I'm just pondering how many they might want 13:11:53 <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: and which player wants to choose from a list of 256 railtypes? 13:12:04 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, the properties of a thing on the map need not be stored in the map 13:12:12 <planetmaker> but it needs to be stored an ID or so 13:12:35 <Pinkbeast> planetmaker> Yes, I understand that. 13:12:41 <planetmaker> like it suffices for the tile to know "railtype A, directions a,b and c. Signal here and there. Reserved by a train,. .." 13:13:19 <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: current map has 9 bytes per tile 13:13:50 <Eddi|zuHause> where houses, industries and roads currently use almost all available bits. rails have a few things free 13:13:55 <Terkhen> Pinkbeast: probably the "if you are going to extend it, extend it right" problem 13:14:18 <Pinkbeast> Eddi> A different interface would be necessary, but I can see that people might well want separate gauge operations, several speeds, 3rd and overhead rail... NuTracks is squeezed in 16, and it would be crazy to extend it a _bit_ but not be damn sure to make it big enough. 13:14:20 * norbert79 imagines how hard it have been writing down the first code which started OpenTTD or the TTDPatch 13:15:13 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, you could add twice as many railtypes by adding one single bit to the map array 13:15:14 <Terkhen> my guess is "very hard" :P 13:15:19 <Terkhen> it's always easier to follow 13:15:30 <Pinkbeast> planetmaker> That is self-evident. 13:15:50 <planetmaker> sorry, I still have the feeling you mix "map" and "object information" :-) 13:15:55 <Pinkbeast> But every orthogonal thing you might want to be true of a railtype also means twice as many, so that isn't as much as it looks like 13:16:00 <planetmaker> or what should be stored where :-) 13:16:10 <Pinkbeast> No, I really honestly understood and have always understood what you are trying to tell me. 13:16:18 <planetmaker> good :-) 13:17:43 <Pinkbeast> But when we say a tile stores "railtype A", we next need to ask "how many bits in A", and that comes down to "how many different railtypes might a new rails grf have in", and _that_ comes down to multiplying "n bits for speed times..." - for all that, yes, the map data structure doesn't specifically know that that grf is using the first n bits of A for speed. 13:17:44 *** andythenorth [~Andy@cpc15-aztw25-2-0-cust3.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com] has joined #openttd 13:18:39 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, but for the map it totally doesn't matter how the specifics of a railtype are stored 13:18:55 <Pinkbeast> I really honestly know this. 13:19:05 <planetmaker> that's an entirely different thing... and you only need to store that N times (N= max # railtypes) 13:19:24 <planetmaker> thus the bis in a railtype is really not critical 13:19:40 *** Kurimus [~stabbity@dsl-tkubrasgw3-fe93dd00-34.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #openttd 13:19:42 <Pinkbeast> Yes, it is - how do you calculate the likely maximum value of N? 13:20:06 <planetmaker> by the amount of bits you want to use on the map array 13:20:13 <planetmaker> to store an index 13:20:33 <planetmaker> but the the size of a railtype entry is not important for that 13:20:35 <Pinkbeast> Errrr or perhaps by working out how large N might usefully be from the point of view of new rails newgrfs? 13:21:04 <planetmaker> then you always come up with a number larger than currently feasible 13:21:25 *** Pulec [~pulec@static-cl093181068250.unet.cz] has joined #openttd 13:21:26 <Pinkbeast> Do we? I came up with "10 bits" with some pretty generous assumptions. 13:22:08 <planetmaker> in those 10 bits you included all kind of information which are part of the railtype data and have nothing to do with the number of concurrent railtypes really 13:22:46 <Pinkbeast> Like what? 13:22:56 <planetmaker> or do you really think 1000 concurrent railtypes are sensible? 13:23:13 <peter1138> who what where? 13:23:49 <Pinkbeast> Well, _yes_, although admittedly that did include 2 bits for "things I didn't think of" 13:24:24 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, that many different railtypes may be thinkable. But not concurrently 13:24:40 <planetmaker> thus 10 bits is way too much for all practical purposes 13:24:44 <Belugas> wouldn't 1000 concurent rail be summarized as one row of rails, with same props? 13:24:47 <Pinkbeast> In the original rails world, railtypes add up - if we added something to "rails, elrails, monorail, maglev", it would be +1. But in the NuTracks world, they multiply - add the possibility of 3rd rail, and you _double_ the number of possible railtypes. 13:25:30 *** andythenorth [~Andy@cpc15-aztw25-2-0-cust3.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com] has left #openttd [] 13:25:54 <Pinkbeast> Not concurrently> Well, the player is not going to build the lot. But we don't know beforehand if they're going to build narrow-gauge overhead-electrified 100kph line or not, kind of thing. 13:27:56 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, before you add more railtypes you rather have to ask different questions like "how do I distinguish them in the GUI / on the map" etc. 13:28:10 <planetmaker> Which is already an issue with 16 from my POV 13:28:36 <planetmaker> how do I handle reasonably more railtypes in the GUI is another 13:28:38 <dihedral> with the questionmark-tool? 13:28:39 <dihedral> :-D 13:29:25 <planetmaker> looking at the purchase list of games with vehicles from multiple sets - or even only a single large one - that's not optimal anymore either 13:29:33 <Pinkbeast> I don't think that's completely true - NuTracks manages to keep its tracks distinct, and one could add (for example) narrow gauge and Brunel's broad gauge with clearly distinct graphics, so we're already up to 48 railtypes... and if we're going to break out of 16 at all, let's do it right. 13:29:35 <planetmaker> Thus completely new concepts in that domain have to be found first 13:31:00 <planetmaker> there are some people who convinced me that 16 might make sense, maybe 32 as max. concurrently. I certainly don't see the need for more 13:31:16 <Pinkbeast> I agree that the rail building interface can't very well present a pulldown list of ~256 railtypes but something has to come first - no-one's going to redesign that with only 16 types. 13:31:32 <Pinkbeast> 32? OK, what do you think is surplus in my "NuTracks + narrow + broad gauge" world? 13:31:53 <Pinkbeast> Gauge differences could become very significant in multiplayer with infrastructure sharing. 13:32:24 <Terkhen> I think that, before you even think about additional railtypes, you need to rework the entire map array to something more flexible and extendable 13:32:39 <Belugas> new map array! 13:32:51 <__ln__> highly unrealistic 13:32:58 <Elukka> is a new map array something that will ever happen :P 13:33:05 <Belugas> new map arrayless 13:33:32 <Belugas> #If we all put together as a team 13:33:37 <Belugas> pull 13:33:41 <Belugas> pfffff.... 13:33:43 <Terkhen> :P 13:33:54 <Pinkbeast> Well, let's not go crazy, we could just cadge all the existing free bits in the map array for rail tiles and use them for... maybe more kinds of signals actually 13:34:03 <Belugas> #And did we tell the name of the game boy? 13:34:16 <Belugas> #we call it it riding the gravy traiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin 13:37:28 <Terkhen> if we are going to need to do a big reorganization in the future anyways (bits will run out), better to do it as soon as possible instead of moving bits around again (which complicates savegame conversion code) 13:38:31 <Belugas> agreed with the sunshine man 13:41:26 <Belugas> note that a total new design might be needed, at one point. One that will include the Z dimension 13:41:55 <Pinkbeast> Well, if Simutrans can do it :-) 13:42:13 <Terkhen> urgh, yes, maybe it should take that into account too 13:42:23 <Terkhen> so scary :P 13:42:33 *** erik1984 [~erik1984@vhe-490300.sshn.net] has quit [Quit: Doei!] 13:42:55 <Pinkbeast> This is definitely suggestive of "tiles with something unusual have a pointer to an arbitary-size structure of unusual stuff" 13:43:32 <__ln__> Terkhen: there will never be a new map array. 13:44:18 <Terkhen> I think that a pointer per tile would make things really slow 13:44:46 <Belugas> quite scary indeed ;) 13:44:58 <planetmaker> well... I think there somewhere exists a (behold!) git repo which re-structures map 13:45:15 <Pinkbeast> Terkhen> Well, it would be null for the vast majority of tiles 13:45:25 <planetmaker> found somewhere near Hanover 13:45:25 <Belugas> a git?

The worst things that happened were: 13:58:33 <Terkhen> Elukka: it has been stated that FIRS will not reach an stable state until 1.0.0 13:58:35 <Pinkbeast> 1) cargo chains changed so I had a giant metal-transporting operation that broke completely. 13:59:14 <Elukka> well, i'm not really concerned about saved games or existing networks 13:59:32 <Pinkbeast> 2) placeholder graphics got replaced so I ended up with a 2x1 lime kiln with a silly-looking chunk of the new graphics, which I solved by using a cutout AI company to magic-bulldoze and rebuild the industry 13:59:39 <Terkhen> yes, for saved games I usually don't update FIRS until I'm done... but it is an issue for scenarios 13:59:46 <Pinkbeast> A scenario is a saved game... #2 might definitely happen. 13:59:49 <Elukka> more what will happen if i spend fifty million hours making a huge scenario with firs beta 0.7 and then it'll break when 0.8 is out 14:00:04 <Terkhen> all issues being mentioned by Pinkbeast (and others) could happen in scenarios too 14:00:05 <Pinkbeast> And #1 might implicitly happen if your industry placements are deliberate 14:00:23 <Elukka> well it won't break existing transport networks when there aren't any :P 14:00:26 <Belugas> [09:50] <Pinkbeast> Personally I think the answer is to do something really clever to tunnels which mostly fakes up z-levels but that's just me<-- Although I came up with such a plan at one point, I'd say it's a wrong approach.
