But the best nudge is "I've done everything, the only thing missing is this piece" 07:58:08 <planetmaker> maybe he even has some preliminary stuff there so that you can build on it for testing purposes. Dunno 07:58:27 <planetmaker> and what michi linked iirc was similar to what t3erkhen said 07:58:28 <Korenn> having stuff finished AND popular request for the feature is even better 07:58:36 <Korenn> and for popular request, people have to play it first :) 07:58:42 <planetmaker> popular request only brings you so far 07:59:07 <planetmaker> we work for the same reasons as you: we have to be personally interested in it and it has to be fun 07:59:17 <planetmaker> popular request is only a very minuscle motivation 08:00:40 <Korenn> sure, but as I understood it, whether or not it makes the game more fun to play is important.

For that reason 09:37:41 <norbert79> Sure... 09:37:58 <norbert79> Well, doesn't look different, have to check the special bytes though 09:38:04 <norbert79> if not accessed any 09:38:09 <planetmaker> V453000: ttd was sold for DOS and for windows. Each had its own palette 09:38:30 <dihedral> i remember that time ^^ 09:38:31 <V453000> hm :) so just a historical matter nowadays? 09:38:35 <planetmaker> yes 09:38:46 <planetmaker> nowadays you should forget completely about the windows palette 09:38:50 <b_jonas> even one palette is a historical matter we're stuck with 09:38:51 <V453000> _ 09:38:52 <V453000> :) 09:39:32 <b_jonas> but then if the DOS palette is superior, then why does the NewGRF settings default to the Windows palette? 09:39:32 <V453000> well having a palette is good, makes it easier to draw stuff when colours have only N bright/dark versions 09:39:48 <appe> what's the difference? 09:39:58 <appe> is dos grf's not the same type of file? 09:40:01 <V453000> dos has a few more colours afaik 09:40:02 <Yexo> <b_jonas> but then if the DOS palette is superior, then why does the NewGRF settings default to the Windows palette? <_ NewGRFs can specify which palette they use via action14 09:40:15 <appe> V453000: i see. 09:40:23 <Yexo> the majority of the "old" grfs don't use action14 (because it wasn't around when they were created) and they also use the windows palette 09:40:24 <appe> V453000: i remember you, btw. 09:40:29 <b_jonas> Yexo: I see 09:40:31 <appe> V453000: i fucked up one of your collaboration games. 09:40:31 <appe> :D 09:40:39 <V453000> you remember me? :D why? 09:40:46 <Yexo> hence the best course of action is to leave the default at windows for old grfs and make sure new NewGRFs start using the dos palette (and action14) 09:40:57 <b_jonas> ok, thanks 09:41:28 <V453000> Yexo: do new newGRFs use dos palette though? :) 09:41:42 <planetmaker> V453000: depends on what authors use 09:41:46 <Yexo> I believe the opengfx+ ones do at least 09:42:24 <V453000> yes I know, but after the amount of questions "why use DOS palette" in all various channels regarding newGRF making, I am quite unsure how many people actually do use the dos palette 09:42:30 <planetmaker> they do. Or should 09:42:49 <planetmaker> V453000: as long as they use an action14 it doesn't matter much 09:42:50 <V453000> should. :) 09:42:56 <V453000> yes yes :) 09:43:06 <planetmaker> But if you start drawing new sprites there's no reason to use the slightly inferior windows palette 09:43:14 <planetmaker> as it makes no difference really during drawing 09:44:16 <V453000> hm, is it written somewhere though? I found it mentioned in tutorials from George that it is better to use DOS palette :) 09:46:20 <dihedral> hehe - great 09:46:27 <b_jonas> maybe we should just reach up to the main toolbar for real life and fast-forward until openttd and all grfs have 32-bpp graphics and extra zoom levels? 09:46:41 <dihedral> :-D 09:47:07 <Terkhen> that will never happen :) 09:47:25 <Terkhen> some NewGRFs will never be updated, and some authors will choose to stick with 8bpp 09:47:38 <Terkhen> I'll also probably prefer the 8bpp look 09:47:43 <appe> im rather excited 09:47:53 <Terkhen> but I want to try a proper 32bpp base set too :P 09:47:56 <appe> miih. 09:48:19 <b_jonas> a 32bpp newgrf could still have a 8bpp look 09:49:10 <V453000> I think it also is much harder to draw in more colours, so for people like me who want to start with drawing, I think 8bpp will always be the way to go 09:49:20 <planetmaker> b_jonas: cutting the backward compatibility for those newgrfs is not an option :-) 09:49:41 <planetmaker> doesn't mean one cannot use 32bpp, though 09:49:49 <planetmaker> as 8bpp is clearly a subset ;-) 09:50:12 <b_jonas> okay 09:50:52 <dihedral> :-P 09:51:20 <dihedral> can openttd not rewrite access to the 8bpp palette using the 32bpp one? 09:51:42 <planetmaker> dihedral: the 32bpp blitter does exactly that... 09:52:46 <appe> planetmaker: not more then 72 sound files? 09:52:49 <appe> that's odd. 09:53:02 <planetmaker> that's all. yes 09:53:10 <appe> i guessed me a hundred or two. 09:54:32 <appe> i was just thinking. i usually release my stuff under the CC licence 09:54:55 <appe> and as far as i know, you can release stuff with CC+1, as long as you have the artists concent. 09:57:37 <planetmaker> appe: yes, CC+1 is the set's license. But as said, that license is not compatible with GPL. Thus that can't be changed with the current wav files except the few which rb created himself. 09:57:47 <appe> ah, i see 09:57:55 <appe> licences are for schmucks. 09:58:13 <appe> and business men (like me). 09:58:15 <appe> ;) 09:58:16 <planetmaker> yes and no. They're pain and gain 09:58:32 <planetmaker> only the FLOSS license allow this project to live and continue to live 09:58:37 <planetmaker> as everyone can carry on 09:58:53 <appe> free-libre? 09:58:57 <planetmaker> only the license makes it legal 09:59:39 <planetmaker> yes 09:59:56 <b_jonas> so I will have to make multiple short cheap show trains to trainsport coals instead of a single expensive fast train? 10:00:05 <b_jonas> these realistic grfs are interesting 10:01:02 <planetmaker> appe: of course improvements of existing sounds are welcome, I'd much welcome it, if you'd allow (also) use under GPL v2, along of CC+1 10:01:24 <planetmaker> then the transition could be smoothly until all CC+1 only sounds are replaced by dual-licensed sounds 10:01:40 <planetmaker> at which stage we could switch to GPL v2 for the set ;-) 10:01:40 <George> V453000> I found it mentioned in tutorials from George that it is better to use DOS palette :) <- I never wrote such a thing. 10:01:52 <George> I use win palette 10:02:15 <George> also win paletter has 6 less colours 10:02:28 <George> so it is safer to use win one 10:03:23 <V453000> really? :o 10:03:31 <V453000> sorry then :d 10:06:52 <Elukka> is gpl ever not a pain 10:07:18 <Elukka> http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ sounds nice... 10:07:41 <V453000> lol :D 10:07:42 <Terkhen> why is gpl being a pain in the current conversation? :P 10:10:15 <Yexo> <George> so it is safer to use win one <- that only holds true for ttdpatch 10:10:34 <Yexo> in openttd you can mix grfs that use both palettes without problems and the extra colors in the DOS palette are always supported 10:12:16 <planetmaker> well. TTDPatch doesn't support mixing palettes anyway, does it? 10:12:22 <Yexo> no 10:12:41 <planetmaker> thus there it's equally safe to use one or the other palette 10:13:12 <Yexo> if you use the win palette you can convert it automatically to the dos palette and release 2 grfs, if you draw in the dos palette it's problematic since you can't convert the extra colors 10:15:26 *** KenjiE20 [~Kenji@host-92-8-77-176.as43234.net] has joined #openttd 10:15:48 <planetmaker> there's no safe conversion path dos->windows? 10:16:35 <appe> i dont really understand this 10:16:39 <appe> why does one play dos at all? 10:16:50 <appe> why would one, that is. 10:16:50 *** KenjiE20 [~Kenji@host-92-8-77-176.as43234.net] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 10:17:02 <planetmaker> appe: the palette naming has nothing to do really with which OS it's played on 10:17:24 <planetmaker> the naming is purely historical.
