00:00:32  <Eddi|zuHause> it's definitely not ok to ask questions about asking a question
00:00:59  <Eddi|zuHause> @topic get 3
00:00:59  <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: Don't ask to ask, just ask
00:01:20  <bloopletech> sure, just checking this wasn't a dev only channel

00:02:13  <Eddi|zuHause> you could have an answer by now, but now i'm gone...
00:02:21  <bloopletech> I'm trying to get 1.1.5 running on my new ubuntu oneiric install. I installed the deb for 64bit from the website and installed it. I've downloaded open[g,s,m]fx from the website and put the contents of each zip in ~/.openttd/baseset
00:02:39  <bloopletech> but when I start openttd I still get "Error: Failed to find a graphics set. Please acquire a graphics set for OpenTTD. See section 4.1 of readme.txt."
00:02:53  <Eddi|zuHause> "baseset" is only for 1.2.0 and later, in 1.1.5 it must be "data"
00:03:07  <michi_cc> Section 4.1 of readme.txt would have told you that :)
00:04:05  <bloopletech> I couldn't find th readme locally so I read the one off of trunk, which is obv. for 1.2
00:04:42  <bloopletech> Someone might want to look at the readmes for the open* packs, one or two of them use baseset
00:05:00  <bloopletech> thanks for the help
00:05:31  <Eddi|zuHause> bloopletech: that'll all be obsolete once 1.2.0 is finalized
00:05:32  <michi_cc> I think the Open* projects all now target the not very far off 1.2.0 finak.
00:05:43  <Eddi|zuHause> bloopletech: which is probably in a few weeks
00:06:12  <bloopletech> Eddi|zuHause, ok thanks
00:06:26  <michi_cc> Unless you want exactly 1.1.5 for network play, I'd go for the 1.2 RC anyway. Much better ;)

00:11:30  <bloopletech> well my other computers and my friend are all on 1.1.5 right now, I think I'll just wait for the release :)
00:12:25  <bloopletech> though saying that, this particular game is now stuck in a sound loop ;)

06:34:51  <andythenorth> morning
06:35:56  <Nat_aS> evining
06:36:17  <Nat_aS> how come swaping newgrigs in the scenerio editor mode isn't more stable?
06:36:32  <Nat_aS> I can understand how it can cause problems in game, but scenerio editor should be safe

06:44:30  <peter1138> +t
06:44:45  <Nat_aS> but isn't there a way to make newgrif loading more sanatary?

06:44:59  <Nat_aS> so the game wont crash or become corrupted?
06:48:10  <Nat_aS> is there any way to mitigate the remove newgrif crashing?
06:48:39  <Nat_aS> because it sucks when an old scenerio is no longer compatible because the maker bundled it with newgrifs you don't even care about.
06:49:42  *** TGYoshi [~TGYoshi@86.81.146.146] has joined #openttd
06:50:47  <planetmaker> the scenario is still compatible. you just need the proper newgrfs...
06:51:25  <planetmaker> and 'how come': hysterical raisins.

08:10:42  <Pikka> Scuddles what are you doing here
08:10:49  <andythenorth> the template colours are normally removed during the render
08:11:05  <andythenorth> but they can be left in
08:13:41  <andythenorth> so...I plan to release all the cargo sprites when done
08:13:56  <andythenorth> so people who are terrified of the generator can paste them in with a pixel editor

12:16:39  <Pikka> now the question is do I go back and replace the ones on the flat cars with these ones, or leave them with the "full sized" ones...
12:17:03  <Pikka> I can't really be bothered, is the answer, I'll leave them :)

12:22:17  <NGC3982> the lack of transportated goods?
12:22:22  <Pikka> what kind of industry, NGC3982?
12:23:11  <NGC3982> any. i notice that building a station close to an industry - and not using it makes it disappear
12:23:20  <NGC3982> dissapear
12:23:26  <NGC3982> for god sake
12:23:28  <NGC3982> disappear
12:23:47  <Pikka> newgrfs can shut down industries whenever they like.  default primary industries will shut down if they are already at lowest production and try to decrease.  default secondary industries I think are polled every now and then and will shut down if they haven't recieved cargo in a few years.
12:25:07  <NGC3982> ah, i see.

13:26:43  <andythenorth> tempting to splurge on randomisation of this :P

13:29:26  <andythenorth> it's only a matter of how many rules to write out :P
13:29:37  <Pikka> in my experience, for any given load 4 variations is enough

13:29:54  <Pikka> gives you enough of a "random" look, any more is just tmwftlb
13:30:05  <andythenorth> any more than 4, and I'd be thinking about also having pixa generate some of the code to use them
13:30:26  <Pikka> the nfo/nfl? :P
13:30:31  <andythenorth> yeah those
13:30:36  <andythenorth> generating nfo might suck :P
13:30:39  <Pikka> just random action 2... not hard. :)
13:30:50  <andythenorth> I could generate the action 1 / realsprites

14:54:07  <andythenorth> hmm
14:54:20  <andythenorth> maybe I can cache the scan of the image, and only rescan when I know it's needed
14:54:53  <andythenorth> currently, if a vehicle has 4 render passes, and 4 colour options, and 8 cargo options....

14:56:04  <andythenorth> is there someone who is a better programmer than me?
14:58:09  <TinoDidriksen> ...when you say scan, what is the context? Going over all pixels?

15:00:33  <TinoDidriksen> Nope, I don't do Python.
15:04:14  <andythenorth> nvm
15:04:34  <andythenorth> I basically rely on scanning all pixels in an image, from top-left, in rows
15:04:48  <andythenorth> repeatedly :P
15:06:16  <TinoDidriksen> Why?
15:06:30  <michi_cc> Because you have no better idea or because some newly painted pixels are input themselves?

19:39:16  <Pikka> good morning Alberth
19:39:20  <Alberth> you didn't assume they'd make any sense did you :)
19:39:29  <Pikka> often they don't
19:39:31  <andythenorth> Alberth: :)
19:39:50  <andythenorth> Pikka: often for a vanishingly large definition of often
19:39:59  <andythenorth> I assume they're just bots, spamming
19:40:05  <andythenorth> can't be actual humans that thick
19:40:08  <andythenorth> I never meet any
19:40:10  <Pikka> but this one is just... possibly one of the truest and least necessary things ever said.
19:40:34  <Pikka> "Mozart > Justin Bieber"
19:40:56  <Alberth> andythenorth: websites have not yet learned how to avoid such people :p
19:40:57  <andythenorth> I suspect a small number of hackers having a game of "turing test, but goal is to fake the stupidest person on planet"
19:41:22  <andythenorth> I grew up in a very rough place with some quite stupid people, but still not as stupid as youtube
19:41:43  <andythenorth> we had the highest murder rate in the country, 4th worst place to live, but still not as stupid as youtube
19:42:10  <Alberth> so it must be really bad in the other 3 places :)
19:42:19  <andythenorth> my wife is from one of them :P
19:42:20  <andythenorth> it's very odd
19:42:36  <Pikka> whence, andythenorth?
19:42:36  <andythenorth> anyway, andythenorth had a question for Alberth but has forgotten it :o
19:42:49  <andythenorth> Pikka: my wife?  Merthyr
19:42:49  <Alberth> it'll come back
19:43:01  <Pikka> how rare
19:43:18  <andythenorth> Pikka: Mozart > Justin Bieber is at least logically sound
19:43:25  <Pikka> true
19:43:29  <andythenorth> the argument is a valid argument
19:43:31  <andythenorth> may not be true
19:43:44  <Pikka> well just how true it is is what shocks me
19:43:51  <Alberth> Mozart is probably less tall :D
19:43:59  <Pikka> certainly now, Alberth
19:44:18  <Alberth> minor detail :)
19:44:25  <Pikka> no decomposition jokes please
19:44:36  <andythenorth> oh that's the grue problem in philosophy
19:44:53  <andythenorth> can't remember it

19:56:49  <andythenorth> I learnt some new python

19:59:50  <andythenorth> yes
19:59:55  <andythenorth> I just need to learn the format
20:01:27  <andythenorth> it's also time to figure out how to structure the project so it has a config file, only builds what's needed etc

20:03:23  <andythenorth> the purpose of the link is...?
20:03:25  <Alberth> if you want to see how it looks just have epydoc generate some html for you :)
20:03:53  <andythenorth> I've seen it before - it's widely used?
20:04:07  <Alberth> links are for catching those mouse clicks :)
20:04:32  <andythenorth> oh ok link in the output
20:04:36  <Alberth> the other system is what Python itself uses, sphinx
20:05:14  <Alberth> links are also useful for saying 'this is documented elsewhere' as well
20:05:41  <Alberth> I hardly ever generate html, just the doc strings are sufficient for me
20:07:00  <Alberth> have not used sphinx much, iirc the format is a bit more free-style. I prefer a more fixed form, as it reduces the need to think about the format :p
20:07:37  <supermop> hi
20:07:45  <Alberth> hi supermop
20:07:57  <supermop> is Berlin nice in the summer?
20:08:26  <__ln__> it is
20:10:15  <andythenorth> it's fricking cold in winter
20:10:19  * andythenorth went there once
20:13:12  <Alberth> not much sea around Berlin :)
20:15:12  <supermop> i imagine that would keep it as bit too hot then
20:17:13  <__ln__> don't worry, the temperatures are a lot lower because of the Celsius scale being used rather than Fahrenheit.
20:19:34  <supermop> haha
20:20:23  <supermop> was eavesdropping on germans at lunch, and the weather was super nice today, so it made me think about visiting germany this summer
20:20:47  <supermop> berlin being the city i'd most want to visit as i've yet to see it
20:22:55  <__ln__> it is certainly a city worth visiting
20:24:22  <andythenorth> so what I can't figure out...is whether to make each gestalt completely self-contained
20:24:33  <andythenorth> and hard code in all the input files, paths, output filenames etc

20:24:42  <andythenorth> or whether to make them accept args
20:25:28  <andythenorth> and then how to call them with make, so multiple pixa scripts can run at once
20:26:22  <Alberth> euhm, if you use different filenames, you can run pixas in parallel whether or not they have arguments
20:27:48  <andythenorth> so I need to unconflate two things in my small brain
20:27:56  <andythenorth> (1) running in parallel
20:28:04  <andythenorth> (2) being able to have a specific script build only certain things
20:28:24  <andythenorth> both relate to reducing time for generation
20:28:44  <andythenorth> (1) is build faster... (2) is build less... :)
20:30:59  <__ln__> supermop: btw, i know a really nice hostel in Berlin.. (if a hostel is the kind of accommodation you would use)
20:32:12  <supermop> typically - not that old yet
20:33:28  <Alberth> andythenorth: using make for 2 eliminates the need to build it yourself. and it can do 1 too (somewhat limited, but sufficient for normal purposes)
20:33:56  <Alberth> the downside of using make is that you have to tell make what you want it to build
20:34:04  <andythenorth> I know :(
20:34:08  <andythenorth> and I don't know how to do that
20:34:09  <__ln__> supermop: ok, here it is: http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Grand-Hostel-Berlin/Berlin/34160  (it's in the former american sector)
20:34:15  <andythenorth> I've read make docs before
20:34:24  <Alberth> do you have that information at all?
20:34:40  <andythenorth> I could work it out, if I knew what was needed
20:34:44  <andythenorth> compared to python multiprocessing module docs, make is opaque :P
20:34:58  <andythenorth> I even found a simple shell example to start n scripts in parallel :o
20:35:17  <Alberth> yeah, people do the strangest things :p
20:35:48  <Alberth> do you understand what is specifed in a Makefile?

20:56:25  <andythenorth>             for sx, sy, scol in sequence.get_recolouring(x, y, colourset): < takes 0.5s in my test case
20:56:52  <andythenorth> or roughly double the amount of time compared to that line commented out
20:57:12  <michi_cc> andythenorth: Makefile 101: A makefile contains two different kinds of information. The first kind is: File A depends on/can be created from files B, C, D. The second kind: By executing command X, a file with type .foo is transformed into a file with type .bar. Everything else is syntax details :)
20:57:28  <andythenorth> with the actual drawing commented in, time is about 1.5s
20:57:57  <Rhamphoryncus> I've gotten myself curious, so I'll see if I can provide you with a dummy makefile
20:58:23  <andythenorth> :)
20:58:33  * andythenorth is intrigued by why get_recolouring() is so slow
20:58:44  <andythenorth> quite likely I could cache what it's doing
20:59:06  <Rhamphoryncus> big question: is each job described in a separate file or are they all from a single config file?
21:00:10  <andythenorth> Rhamphoryncus: this is unknown so far
21:00:16  <andythenorth> that's kind of my starting question :)
21:00:23  <Rhamphoryncus> Separate files is MUCH easier
21:00:34  <andythenorth> separate files makes sense

21:05:15  <NGC3982> they are next to each other.
21:05:16  <NGC3982> what to do?
21:05:51  <Rhamphoryncus> You have a train/vehicle that wasn't set to only unload in the wheat/livestock station, and was capable of loading food
21:05:59  <Rhamphoryncus> So it probably wasn't refit properly either
21:06:31  <Rhamphoryncus> So start by opening the station window, click the train icon, and go through everything that goes there
21:06:45  <Rhamphoryncus> An implicit order can also do it, if another train got lost and it's not non-stop
21:07:03  <NGC3982> i see
21:07:22  <Rhamphoryncus> After you've fixed all that.. destroy the station, rebuild a new one there (ctrl-click to avoid reusing the existing one), and swap over all the orders

21:08:31  <NGC3982> bah, crikey.
21:09:13  <Rhamphoryncus> These days I tend to go through and make sure all my orders are exact, to avoid such things.  Lots more work upfront though.

21:11:19  <Rubidium> Rhamphoryncus: an implicit order can not cause a vehicle to go to a wrong station
21:11:36  <Rubidium> a vehicle going to a wrong station will cause an implicit order to be inserted, though
21:11:36  <Rhamphoryncus> Implicit orders are the consequence of it
21:11:52  <Rhamphoryncus> Sorry, should have been more clear about that
21:13:02  <Rhamphoryncus> If a train isn't non-stop it reports where it stops using implicit orders, which you can look for.  This applies if it's intentional and if it's lost
21:13:06  <andythenorth> :o
21:13:42  <andythenorth> @calc 4.230 - 1.897
21:13:42  <DorpsGek> andythenorth: 2.333
21:14:00  <andythenorth> Alberth: that's how much time is spent in get_recolouring()
21:16:14  <andythenorth> about 1s of it is spent on transforms
21:16:17  <michi_cc> andythenorth: http://paste.openttdcoop.org/show/1189/ and http://paste.openttdcoop.org/show/1190/
21:16:53  <andythenorth> ho
21:16:54  <andythenorth> thanks
21:16:55  <michi_cc> The basic syntax is "target: source"
21:17:43  <Rhamphoryncus> There's ways to avoid listing all the filenames though
21:18:14  <Alberth> http://paste.openttdcoop.org/show/1192/  <-- andythenorth   more explanation :D
21:19:25  *** cypher [~Miranda@ip-86-49-67-69.net.upcbroadband.cz] has joined #openttd
21:19:48  <michi_cc> Let's look at that backwards: Lines 6 and 7 tell us that gestalt_A/B.pytmpl somehow read or depend on input.png, so if input.ong is modified, those two gestalt files should be treated as modified as well.
21:20:39  <andythenorth> k
21:21:05  <michi_cc> Line 3 says: A file foobar.pytmpl can be transformed into foobar.png by executing the command "./pixa.sh -o $@ $<". $@ stands for the target (so foobar.png) and $< for the first source (so foobar.pytmpl).
21:22:54  * Alberth always does  "echo $@  $<"  as a first try, or uses 'make -n'  (echo commands but do not exec)
21:23:57  <michi_cc> And the first lines tells make that in the end we want to have the files gestalt_A.png and gestalt_B.png. Make will by default create the first target it can find, so by insterting this 'dummy' line we can simply execute 'make' instead of 'make gestalt_A.png gestalt_B.png'.

21:26:45  <michi_cc> If you allow make to operate in parallel (i.e pass the -j option), it will execute the two pixa.sh calls concurrently.

21:28:16  <andythenorth> k
21:28:24  <andythenorth> so...
21:28:37  <andythenorth> when generating ~3,000 pngs with auto-generated file names
21:29:13  <andythenorth> it will be interesting to set up the targets :o
21:29:35  <frosch123> the next steps are to autogenerate the nml code, to autostart a game, and to let an ai play with it :)
21:30:33  <Rhamphoryncus> 15 steps down the line we achieve singularity
21:31:00  <Alberth> frosch123: nah, a goal script to measure how fast you reach the goal, then build an optimizer loop :)
21:31:23  <frosch123> Alberth: you mean a goal script evaluating the ai?
21:31:30  <Alberth> yes
21:31:33  <michi_cc> andythenorth: The typical solution for that is a program/script that writes a file with "target: source1 source2" lines which is then included in the makefile. This is what e.g. the dep step in the makefile framework does.
21:32:31  <Alberth> andythenorth: GNU make has all kinds of text manipulation functions to construct names etc
21:32:49  <andythenorth> I might need to unpick some assumptions in my code to use these :|
21:33:14  <andythenorth> I have quite a lot of reliance on python structures to generate names
21:33:15  <Alberth> or generate a makefile, as michi said :)
21:33:38  <andythenorth> seems a bit chicken and egg :)
21:33:52  <Alberth> you only need one Makefile ;)
21:34:23  <andythenorth> I could teach pixa to optionally generate only the filenames
21:34:43  <andythenorth> also I think the output files will need to be committed to the repo
21:34:48  <Alberth> eg gcc/g++ has a -M option to generate dependencies

22:09:08  <NGC3982> oh god.
22:10:17  <NGC3982> though, as i recall: if i destroy a station and quickly replace it, the material parked on it disappear, but the name remains?
