Dude, train-tracks needed to be maintained 09:52:21 <peter1138> you're confusing "should" with "is" 09:53:17 <norbert79> V453000: You have some very interesting views on how logistics work... It's not just like laying down a track, and that's it... 09:53:32 <norbert79> V453000: Following your logic we could eliminate maintenance for trains too 09:53:36 <appe> what if costs only applied to rails that are driven on? 09:53:47 *** Neon [~Neon@dslb-178-004-190-018.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #openttd 09:53:52 <appe> that is, one time costs for every time a rail passes by. 09:53:57 <norbert79> appe: everything has to be maintanend 09:54:10 <norbert79> appe: Tracks, railways, tunnels, everything 09:54:17 <appe> sure 09:54:23 <appe> small, but in total big costs. 09:54:25 <appe> i like the idea 09:54:43 <V453000> as I said, making maintenance costs is a good thing whereas making tracks more expensive is stupid 09:54:47 <V453000> or cant you read norbert79 ? 09:54:48 <norbert79> appe: And if a certain time-age is being hit, and no maintenance is being done, the track would just disappear... 09:55:07 <appe> norbert79: :< 09:55:19 <norbert79> V453000: NuTracks method is kinda cool imo... 09:55:30 <appe> i guess thats good. that last part is a setting id un-tick, though.. 09:55:34 <norbert79> V453000: I mean differntiating different tracks 09:55:44 <V453000> that is something different though 09:55:49 <norbert79> V453000: same goes for the trakcs/roads, etc 09:56:17 <norbert79> V453000: Sure, but the poin t is what I am trying to make, that every type of track would have it'"s own maintenance costs, but that's depending how far those are from towns/cities 09:56:29 <norbert79> V453000: you can quickly repair a track within a town 09:56:33 <V453000> depending on how far from cities? why? 09:56:45 <norbert79> but do the same with a track in the middle of nowhere 09:56:54 <V453000> ok, realism 09:56:59 <norbert79> yeah, just a bit 09:56:59 <V453000> retarded 09:57:23 <norbert79> pity you say so, especially in this language 09:57:54 <norbert79> I wish you would have played Simcity... 09:58:16 <V453000> well when you suggest solutions which have nothing related to gameplay and just adjust to be more "realistic", I have nothing to say than it is plain stupid 09:58:24 <norbert79> and I so miss this feature from OpenTTD, especially from a game, where logistic is all about 09:58:26 <V453000> yes, go play sim city, it is probably more realistic than openttd 09:58:58 <norbert79> V453000: I doubt that your aggressive attitude would fit here, and it seems you are likely the one just rejecting an idea, and offending chatters here. I think you have some issues. 09:59:13 <norbert79> V453000: I suggest you should back off. 09:59:42 <V453000> I am just saying that your idea lacks gameplay impact and does not make sense in that way 09:59:58 <V453000> why would you ever care how far your rails are from town 10:00:01 <norbert79> V453000: No, you are just panically rejecting it even before even thinking it through... 10:00:11 <V453000> okay.. 10:00:13 <V453000> so tell me 10:00:19 <V453000> what effects does it have 10:00:26 <V453000> I build rails close to cities as possible, very interesting 10:00:30 <V453000> something else? 10:00:53 <norbert79> No, not anymore, have spent enough time.

Some kind of power law would probably be even better, but for that somebody other than me has to test the current values first. 12:00:04 <norbert79> but it's great for a start 12:00:18 <MNIM> or, if a road is past a certain age, void company ownership 12:00:25 <michi_cc> It doesn't change current ownership behaviour. 12:02:31 <michi_cc> Losing ownership of roads to a town would be a different patch that shoudn't be mixed. 12:03:08 <norbert79> I would just go for the way of just losing the roads, like with age the roads would just hit a certain aging status, that they would just "fall apart" 12:03:26 <Eddi|zuHause> it could be part of roadtypes. when a town decides to "upgrade" a road, it might change ownership 12:03:55 <norbert79> what do you mean by 'upgrading", like placing concerete at it's side? 12:04:11 <Eddi|zuHause> something like that 12:04:23 <norbert79> hmm, but that does happen way too often, when giving a town money for new buildings 12:05:05 <Eddi|zuHause> it's not a fully thought through feature :p 12:05:19 <norbert79> Sure, I am also just imagning it :) 12:05:28 <norbert79> Playing with "what-if" :) 12:07:24 <MNIM> playing what if is the mother of all progress, isn't it? 12:07:52 <Eddi|zuHause> norbert79: here are my previous thoughts about town roads vs. roadtypes: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=878524#p878524 12:08:53 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: I think Part 1 to part 3 can be done easy, NuTracks also has proven, that it is manageble 12:08:59 <norbert79> manageble 12:10:15 <norbert79> yet I would just use different roadtypes, not specify 'one way' roads... It's the materials matter, what they are coming from... Concrete is also missing 12:10:34 <norbert79> I like Part 2 12:11:18 <norbert79> Part 3... Well, agree partly, because we are the company owners, we are asked on building the connections between towns 12:12:01 <Eddi|zuHause> part 3 is something similar to river generation 12:13:02 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: Yet I think that should depend on the time-date the game starts. For example while a new game starts around 2010 you could imagine good connections, but around 1900 the roads should not be even there between towns 12:13:18 <Terkhen> maybe part 3 should take into account destinations; if many passengers want to travel between two towns, build a road between them to entice companies to establish new routes 12:13:45 <norbert79> Terkhen: Good thinking 12:13:48 <Eddi|zuHause> norbert79: i disagree. except motorways, most roads have existed for many centuries 12:14:16 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: You as German can also remember, that the first motorway in germany appeard in 1934 12:14:26 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: We all know the reason behind but still 12:14:51 <Eddi|zuHause> norbert79: even then, the plans were already at least a decade old 12:14:55 <norbert79> and in Hungary, there were no Motorways at all until the late 70's 12:15:11 <Eddi|zuHause> norbert79: but this is not about motorways 12:15:44 *** roboboy [~robotboy@CPE-58-173-43-55.nxzp1.ken.bigpond.net.au] has quit [Read error: Operation timed out] 12:15:52 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: Sure, just wanted to point out an impoirtant point, yet this is also what I have mentioned. Even if there are roads between towns, they should be the gravel ones, or old dirt-tracks 12:16:18 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: But not all the twons are connected to each other... 12:16:32 <Eddi|zuHause> that can be adjusted by the roadtype grf 12:16:40 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: Like ehwn two villages are connected, but only in one direction and one road only 12:16:51 <MNIM> eddi: something like that, yes, though Id propose a slight increase in speed 12:17:11 <MNIM> of course this should be adjustable by parameters. 12:18:00 <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, the most problematic about part 3 is probably creating a steiner-tree between towns. 12:18:58 <Eddi|zuHause> so 3 towns in a triangle do not neccessarily have 3 point-to-point roads, but instead they meet somewhere in the middle 12:19:20 <norbert79> depends also on the culture... Hungariasn roads tended to be centralized and radius like, where the capital was the main centre, and roads started into all directions. And there is the grid method too 12:19:32 <norbert79> Not always... sometimes they never meet at all 12:19:44 <norbert79> but just are being connected to each other in series by one road 12:20:33 <norbert79> depends also on the culture 12:20:42 <norbert79> like take the desert scenario 12:20:58 <norbert79> it's just mostly 1 road, which goes through several smaller towns 12:21:02 <norbert79> if there is a road at all 12:21:31 <Terkhen> NewGRF road types -> use dirt roads :P 12:22:38 <Eddi|zuHause> callback 18 for roadtypes :) 12:22:48 <planetmaker> hehe 12:22:59 <planetmaker> available in openttd 2.0 or so ;-) 12:25:04 *** KenjiE20 [~Kenji@host-92-8-65-160.as43234.net] has quit [Read error: Connection timed out] 12:25:09 <Terkhen> :P 12:25:40 <Eddi|zuHause> how do AIs handle railtypes currently? 12:26:15 *** KenjiE20 [~Kenji@host-92-8-65-160.as43234.net] has joined #openttd 12:26:32 <appe> do you ever use the multiplayers? 12:26:47 <appe> i tried it back in the days when openttd was transport tycoon 12:26:51 <appe> it sucked, and i havent tried it since 12:27:14 *** glx [glx@2a01:e35:2f59:c7c0:a956:ced6:c20f:aa1e] has joined #openttd 12:27:17 *** mode/#openttd [+v glx] by ChanServ 12:27:18 <Eddi|zuHause> no, i only play single player 12:30:30 <MNIM> hmmmmh. 12:30:42 <MNIM> I wish I could build bridges over stations sometimes 12:31:36 <llugo> I wish I could build stations on bridges sometimes :) 12:32:08 <norbert79> "Hey dude, I heard you like bridges..." :D 12:32:30 <norbert79> "So we built a bridge in your bridge, so you can station there" 12:34:40 <norbert79> Oh, sorry, it's "yo dawg" http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xzibit-yo-dawg#.ToHC0x_XuGY 12:37:06 <MNIM> it's true, though 12:38:13 <MNIM> it'd be nice to pull off something like amsterdam sloterdijk: 12:38:13 <MNIM> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Sloterdijk2.jpg 12:39:04 <norbert79> MNIM: Neat..

Our streams were first straightened with steam power, then made winding again with diesel power because straight streams contain less water than bendy ones. 16:01:04 <MNIM> the one 'mountain' we have (321m) is less than half of what it used to be, we dig it's sides for building materials. the remaining half is tunneled so much you could hide city in it. 16:02:31 <MNIM> in the netherlands you cannot get on a bike and disappear into a forest, only to find civilization again after having been lost for a whole day. 16:04:12 <planetmaker> my point. Thus the inhabitable land in Japan is more densely populated 16:04:13 <MNIM> most of our longer 'mountainbike trails' are 50% asphalt, since you can only put so much trail in a square mile of forest before you need to get on the road and drive another mile to find a new patch of trees. 16:05:39 <MNIM> mweh, japan has more inhabitable land, true 16:06:00 <planetmaker> in the Netherland everything is basically habitable 16:06:19 <MNIM> well, apart from the water, yes 16:06:52 <__ln__> what's wrong with water 16:07:26 <MNIM> there are some pieces that would prove to be a nightmare to build on, though, as the ground can be incredibly soft and shifty 16:07:41 <MNIM> __ln__: nothing. in fact, we build houses on it 16:12:31 <Eddi|zuHause> Belugas: actually i said medium distance. something around 100-1000km 16:13:43 <__ln__> Eddi|zuHause: that may not be medium in canada 16:13:57 <MNIM> that's long range over here :P 16:15:45 <Belugas> Eddi|zuHause, you have to agree it's a bit more than going-to-work distance ;) 16:16:06 <Belugas> althoug, 100km is indeed not a medium distance, it's rather.. small 16:16:24 <Belugas> half an hour?piece of cake :) 16:17:19 <Eddi|zuHause> Belugas: but only if you average on 200km/h :) 16:17:41 <Eddi|zuHause> from here to berlin is 160km 16:18:11 <Eddi|zuHause> you usually calculate 2h on that trip 16:18:23 <MNIM> depends on what train you got, really. 16:19:19 <Belugas> oops.... right... 16:19:26 <MNIM> dutch trains easily go 160, but they go short distances and spend a lot time accelerating and decelerating 16:19:43 * Belugas should not do 3 things at the time... 16:20:40 <MNIM> they're usually still faster than cars at those distances, especially during rush hour 16:21:36 *** valhallasw [~valhallas@nsc.ciup.fr] has joined #openttd 16:27:03 <Elukka> the commuter EMUs here get up to 160 kph pretty fast 16:27:12 <Elukka> though lately i haven't seen them go that fast for whatever reason... 16:36:34 *** Brianetta [~brian@188-220-91-30.zone11.bethere.co.uk] has quit [Quit: TschÃŒÃ] 16:39:16 *** hanf^ [~Klaus@host-89-242-67-237.as13285.net] has joined #openttd 16:40:45 *** KouDy [~KouDy@ip-86-49-123-88.net.upcbroadband.cz] has joined #openttd 16:42:27 *** hanf is now known as Guest11763 16:42:27 *** hanf^ is now known as hanf 16:44:52 *** Guest11763 [~Klaus@host-89-240-245-89.as13285.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 17:07:02 *** TheMask96 [martijn@sirius.ne2000.nl] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 17:07:27 *** Alberth [~hat@a82-95-164-127.adsl.xs4all.nl] has joined #openttd 17:07:30 *** mode/#openttd [+o Alberth] by ChanServ 17:11:46 *** Brianetta [~brian@188-220-91-30.zone11.bethere.co.uk] has joined #openttd 17:13:12 *** TheMask96 [martijn@pride.vhost.ne2000.nl] has joined #openttd 17:16:13 *** pjpe [ade6a119@ircip4.mibbit.com] has joined #openttd 17:18:33 *** Elukka [Elukka@89-166-103-135.bb.dnainternet.fi] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 17:19:21 *** Elukka [Elukka@89-166-103-135.bb.dnainternet.fi] has joined #openttd 17:24:59 *** Wolf01 [~wolf01@host64-51-dynamic.15-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #openttd 17:25:43 <Wolf01> hello 17:27:45 *** IchGuckLive [~chatzilla@95-89-236-152-dynip.superkabel.de] has joined #openttd 17:28:23 <IchGuckLive> hi all in the desert game what shoudt be prior to transport 17:30:38 <TinoDidriksen> Check the payment graphs. 17:31:13 <IchGuckLive> i did 17:31:38 <IchGuckLive> but production is very low of this high incomes 17:32:10 <IchGuckLive> i thought maybe connecting 2 large citys to own constand will be better 17:44:46 *** douknoukem [~KEM@ALyon-158-1-90-42.w90-29.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #openttd 17:45:22 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: translators * r22964 /trunk/src/lang/latvian.txt: 17:45:22 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: -Update from WebTranslator v3.0: 17:45:22 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: latvian - 59 changes by Parastais 17:54:42 *** KenjiE20 [~Kenji@host-92-8-65-160.as43234.net] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] 18:14:16 <Alberth> I usually do water or iron ore 18:14:28 <Alberth> not sure whether they are well paid though 18:14:40 <Alberth> diamonds also tend to be valuable :p 18:15:45 <Alberth> hmm, am I confusing arctic with tropical now?
