08:20:53  <arnold> hallo freunde. unser server lÀuft im web auf nen linux. wir versuchen hier seit ner stunde die mapsize zu Àndern mit google & co. der will duie einfach nicht erhöhen von 256 auf 1024
08:21:05  <arnold> hat jemand iene idee ? kann doch nicht so tricky sein :/
08:22:07  <Alberth> when you speak English, more people will understand what you say :)
08:23:21  <arnold> hi :)  i cant change the mapsize from 256 to 1024. linux webserver. we edit the openttd.cfg   for example map_x = 10 .... but when we restart, the server will create a 256map :/
08:23:43  <Alberth> openttd writes the config on exit
08:23:57  *** cra [5dcf6821@ircip3.mibbit.com] has joined #openttd
08:24:18  <cra> hi
08:24:18  <arnold> how can i setup a server (newgame) with a mapsize like 1024 (=10)
08:24:20  <Alberth> so editing while the server runs is a little useless :)
08:24:25  <Alberth> hi cra
08:24:41  <arnold> i can use the command window .. ~ ?! right?
08:25:04  <Alberth> arnold: first shutdown the openttd program before you edit the config file
08:25:43  <arnold> i will test ... :)
08:26:36  <Alberth> arnold: the usual way of doing things is to prepare a config file at a normal desktop game, that works much better than editing the file directly
08:26:50  <arnold> omg ... :D its work. my buddy has nerver stop the server. only edit, then restart :D
08:27:00  <arnold> now it works , thx :* ^^
08:27:45  <Alberth> that's what happens if you stop openttd from overwriting your careful edits :D
08:28:21  <arnold> thx my friend :)
08:28:26  <Alberth> yw :)

08:32:52  <arnold> ehy alberth, next one :)
08:32:55  <arnold> hey
08:33:24  <arnold> which configtext ist for the numbers of town. because, our new 1024map has a less number aof towns ^^
08:33:44  <arnold> an industrie
08:33:47  <arnold> and
08:34:35  <Alberth> no idea, I am sure you can find it if you want, but instead make a good config file at a desktop game, and then copy the config file to the server
08:34:43  <Alberth> that's way easier
08:34:49  <arnold> aaaah, ok :) thx
08:35:38  <arnold> now i must play. our boss is away .. big ttd officeparty  :D
08:35:43  <arnold> bye :)
08:35:49  <Alberth> bye :)

09:58:58  <NGC3982> i cant stand business offices that cant keep control on employees.
09:59:32  <Sacro> Yes
09:59:39  * Sacro sits on IRC at work
10:00:00  * NGC3982 puts lots of time on keeping his employees occupied enough never have a reason to go home early.
10:00:54  * NGC3982 also needs to look at what he is writing before sending it, apparently.
10:01:06  * Warod believes the work must be interesting enough to keep people doing it!
10:01:15  <NGC3982> yes, of course.
10:01:44  <NGC3982> though, i fail to understand how a business can be profiting at all with systems that allow people to simply walk home unnoticed.
10:01:59  <NGC3982> it seems to say a fair bit about the effectiveness, at least.
10:03:52  <planetmaker> quite right comment, Alberth
10:03:58  <planetmaker> (on NML)
10:04:12  <planetmaker> actually in all aspects :-P Including "too alien" ;-)
10:04:44  <Warod> NGC3982: Hmm? Stuff gets done so what's the problem? :P
10:05:17  <NGC3982> Warod: if 40% effective work gives fair profit, 80% should do more.
10:05:30  <Alberth> planetmaker:  :)
10:05:41  <NGC3982> Warod: dont you think? :)
10:05:48  <Warod> NGC3982: It's summer... do you think I get myself to the office? Haven't been at the office even once after my summer vacation ended nearly two weeks ago. :P
10:06:12  <Alberth> planetmaker: the hard part is however the "some macro expansion system" :)
10:06:16  <NGC3982> Warod: then i guess you have the privilegde to control your profit without presence.
10:06:19  <planetmaker> Alberth, you may (or may not) have noticed, that xotic made an m4nml system?
10:06:29  <NGC3982> Warod: and that is of course not the case in normal work > employee situations.
10:06:36  <Alberth> I did not, how nice
10:07:05  <planetmaker> yes... I'd have much more appreciation for it though, if he'd talk to me before re-writing newgrfs I'm part in, though :S
10:07:08  <Warod> NGC3982: I do most of the profitable deals and handle the difficult cases. :P
10:07:11  <NGC3982> Eddi|zuHause: fyi; the /dev/random function worked out nicely, and fitted my experiment perfectly.
10:07:48  <planetmaker> and could at least feel like doing more than "accept or reject" the whole re-write
10:08:08  <planetmaker> thus I haven't quite replied to it at all so far... not good either
10:08:31  <Alberth> I fully agree, changing stuff without asking others is not good

10:08:55  <planetmaker> it's not committed to the "official" repo. But still... lots of time gone into it
10:09:04  <planetmaker> supposedly
10:09:21  <Warod> NGC3982: Also.. I tend to be where I need to be. And office is hardly ever one of those places. ^^
10:09:25  <Alberth> say you have some trouble with the direction it is going?
10:10:19  <planetmaker> tbh, I've no clue really *which* he likes to take it. Thus I've more a problem of seeing any direction really... I see mostly a problem in communication

10:10:54  <Alberth> sounds like it yeah
10:11:01  <Alberth> hi Pixa
10:11:14  <Pixa> Hello
10:11:42  <planetmaker> and sadly I'm annoyed by it. Which makes me... not a nice person to communicate with then. Thus I remained silent so far. In order to not needlessly insult
10:12:13  <Alberth> a cautious PM asking for what direction it is going?
10:13:10  <planetmaker> yeah, I should do that

10:33:59  <Alberth> who needs a HQ anyway :D
10:34:17  <Eddi|zuHause> i tend to not get anything done at home...

10:42:47  <Hirundo> Alberth: Interesting thoughts (http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/3637)
10:43:26  <Alberth> yeah, it makes it more complicated though, unfortunately
10:43:55  <Hirundo> I'm not sure if NML needs a full (token-level) macro processor
10:44:09  <Alberth> why not?
10:44:23  * planetmaker assigns task to Alberth ;-)
10:44:33  <NGC3982> Warod: well, i guess you are a supervisor?
10:44:41  <planetmaker> when will it be done? :-P
10:44:48  <Hirundo> Those already exist as cpp, m4, etc. rewriting them would be pointless
10:45:13  <Hirundo> I'm more thinking along the lines of parametrized 'item templates', like real sprite templates
10:45:38  <Alberth> 'cat' also already exists, yet you made an issue for including files :)
10:45:45  <planetmaker> that most likely hits home most cases, Hirundo
10:46:18  <Warod> NGC3982: Not really, no.
10:46:30  *** telanus [~telanus@196-215-173-106.dynamic.isadsl.co.za] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
10:46:40  <Alberth> Yeah, I left open what kind of macro expansion you want; cpp is very general purpose and low-level, probably due to hysteric reasons
10:47:35  <Hirundo> basically you'd want the equivalent of C++ templates instead of C macros
10:47:54  * Alberth nods
10:48:36  <Alberth> template SOMENAME(PARAMS) {  <aribtrary nml defs> }  ?
10:49:01  <Alberth> and SOMENAME(1); SOMENAME(2); etc
10:49:36  <planetmaker> would be nice, if one could then also template switches with this means
10:50:18  <Alberth> just pick the non-terminal to be used between the curly brackets :) )
10:51:07  <planetmaker> which would imply that something like the cpp directive part1 ## part2 exists
10:51:52  <Alberth> why do you need that?
10:52:10  <Hirundo> IMO switches suck in general, they are very inconvenient for general programming work
10:52:12  <Alberth> (assuming names in a template are local)
10:52:13  <planetmaker> switches for different vehicles need different names in NML
10:53:30  <Alberth> planetmaker: ie do you need those names from outside the template?
10:53:49  <Hirundo> I have been thinking about namespaces to solve those naming issues
10:54:00  <planetmaker> well. The template must expand to different switch names when being used, Alberth
10:54:10  * Alberth nods
10:54:21  <Alberth> a local name means it is unique
10:54:38  <planetmaker> a local naming scheme would make this probably (much) easier
10:54:39  <Alberth> and only exists within the template instance
10:55:04  <planetmaker> thus you define a name space per vehicle. And then you can re-use the same template over and over
10:55:18  <Alberth> that would be one case yes
10:56:04  <Alberth> it is like { int x; { int y;  } /* y is not known here */ { int y; /* this is a different y */ } }  in c++
10:56:37  *** telanus [~telanus@196-215-173-106.dynamic.isadsl.co.za] has joined #openttd
10:57:02  <Alberth> obviously this fails if you need y outside the innermost brackets :)
10:59:31  <planetmaker> yes. Any possibility to export it?
11:00:06  <Hirundo> namespace::y (if the namespace is named)
11:00:35  <Alberth> that's to be decided, I'd prefer it as return value or as incoming name through the parameter list
11:00:49  <Alberth> the latter is easier, probably

15:08:30  <Terkhen> not that hg is complicated to use
15:09:48  <FLHerne> Well, I'll learn to use it when I have to :P . They've got tar.gz archives, and I know how to use those already...
15:11:23  <FLHerne> Installed it following the instructions, and now I get lots of python error messages :-(
15:12:41  <Terkhen> without knowing the errors we cant help you :P
15:13:00  <Terkhen> but you are probably missing pil and ply

17:38:35  <andythenorth> what shall we talk nonsense about?
17:40:47  <FLHerne> andythenorth: I'm trying to code your CHIPS tiles as NewObjects now :P
17:41:53  <andythenorth> have fun :)
17:42:03  <andythenorth> they won't accept cargo :P
17:42:34  <FLHerne> I know
17:42:37  <Supercheese> Making them overlap roads like the ISR NewObjects set?
17:42:51  <andythenorth> that's such a hack :P
17:42:52  <FLHerne> But they will be able to be built on more slope types :-)
17:42:56  <andythenorth> clever, but monstrous
17:43:12  <FLHerne> If I can figure out this NML gibberish, anyway :P
17:43:17  <Supercheese> agreed, sort of like Push/Pull trains
17:44:23  <andythenorth> FLHerne: you just copy one of the existing nml objects grfs?
17:44:29  <andythenorth> probably one on devzone
17:44:46  <FLHerne> But then I wouldn't learn :D
17:44:47  <frosch123> [19:50] <andythenorth> what shall we talk nonsense about? <- how about deprecating non-track station tiles, and adding a flag to object definitions whether they shall be offered in objects-, stations-, bus-, airport-,... gui? :p
17:44:59  <andythenorth> ok
17:45:01  * FLHerne tries to be productive for once :D
17:45:15  <andythenorth> frosch123: would we mind sanitising the spec too?
17:45:21  <andythenorth> maybe by copying objects or something?
17:45:28  <andythenorth> [is objects sane?]
17:45:34  <frosch123> no :p
17:45:50  <andythenorth> would these objects be allowed to accept cargo?
17:46:01  <andythenorth> can we reimplement everything as subclass of object :P
17:46:13  <andythenorth> and give them cbs to accept / produce cargo too
17:46:17  <frosch123> maybe they should be allowed to construct vehicles and send them onto your tracks
17:46:22  <andythenorth> and state machines for routing vehicles
17:46:48  <andythenorth> one way to rule them all :P
17:47:09  <andythenorth> 'everything is an object'
17:47:13  <andythenorth> hmm
17:47:26  <frosch123> we should propose that to p1sim
17:47:30  <andythenorth> actually we might use that as a bonkers way to do openttd 2.0
17:47:38  <andythenorth> I think we should do something silly
17:47:42  <andythenorth> fuck all this realism stuff :P
17:47:50  <andythenorth> oops andythenorth got sweary
17:48:02  <andythenorth> it's been a long 2 years and 5 months :P
17:48:47  <frosch123> real hoover buses?
17:49:00  <andythenorth> yes, hoover buses that suck things up
17:49:11  <frosch123> we can unify rv and aircraft by adding an hoover height property to rv
17:49:20  <andythenorth> unify ships too
17:49:23  <andythenorth> that's fine
17:49:29  <andythenorth> everything is just 'vehicle'
17:49:33  <frosch123> submarines are just a negative hoover height
17:49:36  *** KouDy [~KouDy@115.133.0.91] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
17:49:42  <andythenorth> then my 'vehicles' python framework for newgrf starts looking like the game :P
17:49:43  <FLHerne> Road-rail vehicles?
17:49:49  <andythenorth> don't be silly :)
17:50:08  <andythenorth> how could that ever work :)
17:50:15  <FLHerne> How about flying cars, those would need variable hoover height...?
17:50:33  <andythenorth> just offset the graphics :P
17:50:36  <frosch123> roadtypes are just a type of railtypes
17:50:37  * andythenorth ponders that idea
17:50:42  <andythenorth> frosch123: no.
17:50:47  <andythenorth> type of routetype
17:50:47  <frosch123> that would also unify trams and rails
17:50:54  <FLHerne> and canals too? :P
17:50:56  <frosch123> including tracks which can both run trams and real trains
17:51:01  <andythenorth> but route is just a question of state machine on the object
17:51:16  <andythenorth> every tile = state machine, with programmable logic
17:51:19  <frosch123> you just need some flag which tells whether two tracktrypes can run in the same direction or cross only
17:51:21  <andythenorth> then we beat minecraft
17:51:29  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause will love it
17:51:32  <andythenorth> he may actually wet himself
17:51:53  <andythenorth> hmm
17:51:59  <andythenorth> maybe we can reimplement it from scratch
17:52:06  <andythenorth> but we sack graphics, just use ascii
17:52:11  <frosch123> then you could just define that maglev crossing on normal rail need crossing gates
17:52:12  <FLHerne> frosch123: Surely for combined train/tram you'd need variable tram sprite offsets?
17:52:14  <andythenorth> hmm
17:52:19  <andythenorth> maybe we just use unicode actually
17:52:27  <andythenorth> more chars :P
17:52:33  <andythenorth> and it's 2d only
17:52:34  <FLHerne> Rails are down the middle, tramtracks are off to the side
17:52:48  <frosch123> andythenorth: just braille characters
17:52:59  <andythenorth> I don't have a braille display :(
17:53:02  <andythenorth> which is sad
17:53:04  <andythenorth> hmm
17:53:09  <andythenorth> we could get 3D printers
17:53:17  <andythenorth> then you print out each tick in braille
17:53:18  <frosch123> http://devs.openttd.org/~frosch/png2braille/

17:54:51  <andythenorth> also my idea for cargo flows 'downhill' is literally implementable
17:54:54  <FLHerne> Have it lasercut onto sheets of perspex
17:54:56  <frosch123> multiplayer would use mail? or would it also allow email?
17:55:07  <FLHerne> Then you could stack them to watch movement
17:55:16  <andythenorth> why not just fully networked?
17:55:23  <andythenorth> you both print same
17:55:34  <andythenorth> I don't think we need to over-complicate this
17:55:37  <andythenorth> keep it simple I say
17:55:50  <andythenorth> keep the current networking stack, seems to work ok
17:55:57  <andythenorth> no more latency issues either
17:56:19  <Supercheese> Client timeout: out of toner
17:56:29  <andythenorth> true
17:56:40  <andythenorth> we could keep most of newgrf
17:56:46  <frosch123> but we need some kind of cheating protection
17:56:51  <andythenorth> true
17:56:59  <frosch123> people should not be allowed to draw stuff by hand
17:57:23  <Supercheese> Well, it's hard to draw in toner, surely that has a different composition than ink
17:57:29  <andythenorth> actually I'm completely baffled what the input mechanism would be for players
17:57:36  <andythenorth> we have output, but where's the interface :o
17:57:37  <Supercheese> voice commands
17:58:19  <andythenorth> punched cards might work
17:58:34  <frosch123> yeah turn ottd into a card game
17:58:41  <frosch123> that also makes it suitable for offices
17:59:02  <andythenorth> we'd solve the OS X bugs as well
17:59:16  <andythenorth> or rather, we'd be platform independent
17:59:18  <frosch123> :o
17:59:26  <frosch123> platform independent?
17:59:34  <andythenorth> well you'd need a table I guess
17:59:35  <frosch123> not sure, it might need a solid desk for massive networks
17:59:43  <Supercheese> dammit, was just gonna say ya need a table
18:00:07  <Supercheese> Hmm, you could make the cards magnetic
18:00:14  <Supercheese> any metal surface would do
18:00:35  <andythenorth> but anyway
18:00:41  <andythenorth> 'everything is object' ?
18:00:50  <frosch123> or vehicle
18:01:00  <andythenorth> then I can recode all my grfs again
18:01:01  <frosch123> i don't know how to add a superclass to object and vehicle
18:01:12  <andythenorth> 'thing'

18:01:36  <andythenorth> object or vehicle?
18:01:45  <Supercheese> Vehicle/Industry/Station
18:02:06  <andythenorth> station is a capability, not a class
18:02:13  <andythenorth> perhaps everything is just an object
18:02:18  <andythenorth> and objects can route objects
18:02:22  <frosch123> andythenorth: you mean a ship mining iron, precessing it into more ships of the same type?
18:02:28  <andythenorth> why not indeed
18:02:36  <andythenorth> cargo is an object?
18:02:47  <Supercheese> By the year 3,000, everything is just nanomachines making more nanomachines
18:02:50  <frosch123> vehicles should be cargo
18:03:09  <frosch123> but a ship can also carry a nuclear power plant
18:03:13  <andythenorth> objects: can create, route, destroy other objects
18:03:18  <frosch123> so, any "thing" can be a cargo

18:13:21  <andythenorth> actually we should add this to openttd
18:13:33  <andythenorth> changelog would say
18:13:35  <frosch123> oh wait, it's already there
18:13:40  <andythenorth> Feature: to be added by future developer
18:13:41  <frosch123> looks like it has been there since r1
18:13:55  <andythenorth> frosch123: it was probably there before that
18:13:59  <andythenorth> just nobody noticed
18:14:07  <andythenorth> does a feature exist if no-one is checking for it?
18:14:36  <frosch123> obviously the old svn crash was initiated by devs from the future to hide their actions
18:14:41  <FLHerne> Actually, all construction tools should have a retroactive option
18:15:01  <FLHerne> I keep wishing I'd built/modified something earlier
18:15:25  <FLHerne> It needs a setting for how long ago to build it, too :P
18:16:06  <frosch123> why?

18:34:34  <frosch123> that means i somehow missed 10 years schools-out
18:35:25  <Supercheese> Oh, and because padding a border by 1em is way too much padding
18:35:44  <Supercheese> That particular line was just taken at random

18:50:34  <andythenorth> so then you have to autoreplace them all
18:50:45  <andythenorth> I might as well just code them to 'get a bit faster' every few years
18:50:50  <andythenorth> and give them 255 year lifespans

19:06:39  <pasky> Hi! I have a bank with cargo station and a train station nearby; I want to use trucks to bring valuables from train station to bank and back, however this doesn't seem to work since the trucks will happily load back the valuables they just unloaded for transfer; is this scenario supposed to work with current codebase? what's the trick?
19:07:00  <FLHerne> andythenorth/frosch123: did you see the template-replacement patch on the forums?
19:07:11  <andythenorth> consists and crap?
19:07:14  <frosch123> pasky: use two stations
19:07:14  <andythenorth> meh :)
19:07:24  <frosch123> order vehicle to unload only or load only
19:07:29  <FLHerne> pasky: http://wiki.openttd.org/Two-way_feeder_service
19:07:48  <pasky> frosch123: hmm, i don't think that would work either, but i'll check FLHerne's link first :)
19:07:51  <pasky> FLHerne: thanks
19:07:54  <FLHerne> Or CargoDist, of course :P
19:07:57  <frosch123> FLHerne: yes, ofc. we discussed such feature since at least 200u8
19:08:18  <andythenorth> I think it's a misfeature
19:08:21  <FLHerne> That patch seems to be rather buggy though, sadly :-(
19:08:30  <andythenorth> if you're only playing 30 years, you don't need consists
19:08:42  <FLHerne> Works enough to be useful, though
19:08:44  * andythenorth proposes everyone must play the way andythenorth dictates
19:08:51  <andythenorth> hmm
19:09:03  <andythenorth> if games last, 30 years I can make FIRS smaller
19:09:06  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Why would you want to play 30 years? Where's the fun? :P
19:09:14  <frosch123> i thought you were bored about your style of play? :p
19:09:18  <andythenorth> I am
19:09:22  * FLHerne plays 1919 to 2012 normally
19:09:23  <andythenorth> I keep starting in 1870
19:09:33  <pasky> hmm, is the two-way feeder service dependent just on timing?
19:09:37  <andythenorth> then I watch boringly slow vehicles pottering around, with broken towns
19:09:50  <pasky> ah never mind, i think i get it now
19:09:53  <andythenorth> wondering how I'll ever get enough ships into FISH to cover pre-1950 :P
19:10:06  <andythenorth> and being annoyed that I have no trucks
19:10:15  <andythenorth> and that FIRS refuses to build industries
19:10:23  <pasky> still, wouldn't a patch for this be trivial? at least for the simple case, "don't pick up cargo if you'd unload it at the originating station"
19:10:26  <FLHerne> pasky: No. The idea is you have one station where RVs only unload an trains only load, and another for the opposite
19:10:54  <andythenorth> two way feeder service is remarkably stupid
19:10:56  <pasky> oh... well, there isn't really room for another train station :(
19:11:00  <andythenorth> I wouldn't bother
19:11:02  <pasky> i guess i'll get coding
19:11:11  <andythenorth> pasky: you'll need to track cargo packets
19:11:16  <andythenorth> enjoy ;)
19:11:30  <andythenorth> hmm
19:11:34  <pasky> but the game already knows originating station of each packet
19:11:42  * andythenorth considers changing the goals for FISH
19:11:45  <pasky> of course the naive approach won't work for complex multi-level feeder services
19:11:51  <FLHerne> pasky: There was a reason that didn't work
19:11:57  * FLHerne looks on the forums for it
19:11:57  <pasky> but i think that doesn't preclude solving the simple case
19:12:01  <frosch123> pasky: there is already such a patch somewhere which solves the case for a single hop feeder
19:12:14  <pasky> is there a reason why it wasn't merged?
19:12:28  <frosch123> i am sure there was
19:14:49  <Alberth> pasky: with 3 stations you can have cargo traveling in circles
19:15:08  <frosch123> most likely because it already fails with 3 stations, which i would consider the standard case
19:15:19  <frosch123> of rv-aircraft-rv, and rv-ship-rv
19:15:36  <pasky> Alberth: yes, but isn't it better to solve at least the simple case now?
19:16:06  <frosch123> no, i just adds useless bloat
19:16:08  <andythenorth> hmm
19:16:21  <pasky> well it's not useless when it solves an issue
19:16:22  <andythenorth> first we need to make everything cargo, then we could fix feeders

19:18:01  <FLHerne> That was why the simplistic cargo tagging didn't work
19:18:12  <FLHerne> See rest of thread too, in fact
19:18:12  <frosch123> maybe we try to help patchpacks to get a userbase :p
19:21:59  <Alberth> pasky: no, because it takes less than a week before we get complaints that a slightly more advanced case fails. Since the patch has no grow path to the full solution, it is just wasted effort, and creates more corner cases, and even gets in the way once you add a proper solution
19:22:10  <pasky> FLHerne: thanks, that's helpful for showing pitfalls a more proper solution must avoid

19:23:41  <frosch123> Alberth: do we have any central goal in our patch?
19:24:12  <Alberth> does it need one?

19:33:55  <frosch123> when they could really make them way better with some trivial adjusting
19:37:54  <andythenorth> hmm
19:38:10  <andythenorth> it has been suggested that I reinstall my OS X to fix my python issues
19:38:19  <andythenorth> I am not convinced that is wise
19:38:38  <frosch123> install a virtual machine
19:38:44  <frosch123> and just python inside that
19:39:04  <frosch123> if that works you can trash you main os, and install a minimal os which only supports running vms
19:39:25  <andythenorth> then I could run OS X in the VM :P
19:40:05  * andythenorth trashes python
19:40:11  <frosch123> haha, some things never change
19:40:26  <frosch123> some pretty girls are only in a movie to get eaten alive in the third scene
19:42:31  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Linux :D
19:42:51  <andythenorth> then I could run OS X in a Linux VM
19:43:23  <FLHerne> Why would you want OSX anyway? What advantage does it have?
19:43:47  * FLHerne removed it from all his PPC Macs

19:52:41  <Zuu> maybe I should fire up visual studio and fix the coding style issue of my patch
19:53:33  <Zuu> though the problem to be fixed can easily be fixed in the patch itself, it makes sense to change the source files and re-generate the patch :-)
19:56:24  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Do the cranes etc on CHIPS tiles need such large bounding boxes?

19:56:41  <andythenorth> not sure :)

19:58:16  <Zuu> Alberth: I tend to not touch the patch files other than sometimes grab them from .hg/.. instead of producing them on the fly.
19:58:18  <andythenorth> I have also tried a new shell after the easy_install
19:58:24  <andythenorth> I've reinstalled setuptools
19:58:30  <Zuu> but I guess that makes sense as well to change the patch.
19:58:58  <andythenorth> the 'reinstall OS X' solution will take me two days
19:59:02  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Also, why does cranes.png have two identical lines, and one which entirely consists of transparency?

19:59:49  <andythenorth> FLHerne: no idea
20:00:01  <andythenorth> michi_cc: I'll symlink
20:00:29  <Alberth> Zuu: it's a bit dangerous, as patch files are not version controlled
20:01:00  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Did you not draw most of it? :P
20:01:06  <michi_cc> andythenorth: Mind you I've got no idea whether this is intended or not.
20:01:19  <andythenorth> FLHerne: yes
20:01:54  <FLHerne> andythenorth: And you still don't know why it's like that? :P
20:02:02  <andythenorth> no
20:02:39  <FLHerne> Ah well. I suppose I'll find out why when I break it :P
20:02:44  <andythenorth> should this be executable in shell? /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/virtualenv
20:02:54  <andythenorth> i.e. if I do $/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/virtualenv
