08:25:21  <Terkhen> I wonder if they think that IRC users do nothing besides checking the channel every 10 seconds
08:25:35  <dihedral> :-D
08:32:58  <Alberth> depends on the channel :)   #python with 700+ users, someone is bound to react soon :)
08:34:19  <Alberth> imho equally possible is that they don't understand IRC, and are just trying it, and it does not speak back within a 'reasonable' time :)
08:35:03  <Alberth> just like "he, what does this button do?  .... oh, nothing"
08:37:15  <telanus> :D
08:37:51  <telanus> I see there isn't a nightly build since friday
08:39:33  <Alberth> since friday already? :o
08:45:46  <Eddi|zuHause> nobody uses nightlies :p

08:48:18  <telanus> I do use nightlies
08:53:55  <Alberth> just build it yourself :)
09:04:00  <dihedral> aye
09:04:12  <dihedral> and then again, nobody uses nightlies :-P
09:04:53  <telanus> is it compilable with VS 2010 Express?
09:05:02  <planetmaker> yes
09:05:13  <planetmaker> hello all :-)
09:06:28  <Alberth> hi planetmaker
09:06:49  <Alberth> planetmaker: do you know the state of coding the sprites in zbase?
09:07:09  <planetmaker> as far as I've seen the coding state is 0%
09:07:39  <Alberth> oke, that sounds like there is work to do yet :)
09:07:47  <telanus> what tools do I need extra? only openttd-useful?
09:08:04  <planetmaker> and to answer your question yesterday(?): I'm definitely interested in helping. IMHO one one could either start by merging OpenGFX or by copying the relevant parts (just sprites + pnml + build) and then add via alternative sprites the new ones
09:08:06  <Alberth> a checkout of openttd
09:10:04  <Alberth> right, I don't understand some parts of that, but it sounds like a fun experiment to do :)
09:10:19  <Alberth> let's start with a checkout of both repos :)
09:11:00  <planetmaker> :-) yeah
09:11:41  <planetmaker> Alberth: what - IMHO - basically can be done: take OpenGFX. It's all in NML. Ignore it being build from scratch (e.g. don't create pngs from gimp sources)
09:11:56  <planetmaker> And then just adding the alternative_sprites block to the appropriate places
09:12:27  <planetmaker> I linked an (the only) example in the zbase thread where I already did that in OpenGFX itself for the large explosion
09:12:40  <planetmaker> that "just" needs doing hundret of times
09:12:52  <Alberth> something in that direction sounds like a plan :)
09:14:16  <planetmaker> it's IMHO also (much) easier than a newgrf approach. As it needs not the newgrf overhead
09:14:26  <planetmaker> and the required 8bpp are already coded
09:14:36  <planetmaker> and you see all progress immediately so to speak
09:14:48  <Alberth> you do?
09:14:57  * Alberth is not running 32bpp afaik :)
09:15:05  <planetmaker> I do ;-)
09:15:12  <Alberth> ie another thing to do :)
09:15:15  <planetmaker> but that's actually an easy thing to change :-P
09:16:15  <Alberth> devzone doesn't like me :(     "abort: stream ended unexpectedly (got 53678 bytes, expected 59828)"
09:16:42  <planetmaker> which repo, Alberth?
09:16:48  <Alberth> zbase
09:17:02  <planetmaker> hm. give me your ssh key. It's a http issue
09:17:11  <planetmaker> of huge repos
09:17:12  <Alberth> how big is it ?
09:17:17  <planetmaker> dunno :-) Big

09:48:09  <Terkhen> that one misses the info for not having to specify the openttd useful folders with each new project

09:55:23  * Terkhen cant access the wiki now
09:56:35  <planetmaker> and... why don't you follow the VS C++ 2010?
09:56:41  <planetmaker> did you mind the differences to 2008?
09:57:28  <telanus> there isn't a 2010 one on the wiki that I found
09:58:11  <Terkhen> planetmaker: there is no official tutorial
09:58:33  <planetmaker> Terkhen: but the hints wrt 2010 are just below that one. Listing differences to 2008
09:58:54  <Terkhen> ooh, that's new
09:59:12  <telanus> yip followed that
10:03:22  <planetmaker> sorry, can't help further. I don't use windows
10:06:22  <Terkhen> I can help you when I'm back at home :P

15:25:43  <Elukka> it would be sweet if someone made BuildOTTD or something equivalent work for modern versions of the game
15:26:06  <planetmaker> feel invited to do so, Elukka
15:27:37  <Elukka> yes, i know anyone can work on an open source project
15:28:49  <Rubidium> I thought that's the whole problem, there are no sources for it
15:29:03  <Rubidium> or it's built with some language that isn't used by much
15:29:07  <Rubidium> s/much/many/
15:29:31  <Elukka> all i was saying it'd be nice if there was an utility to easily build openttd with
15:29:42  <Elukka> if i had the skill or inclination or the inclination to learn the skill to do it myself i'd be doing it already
15:29:46  <Elukka> instead of saying it'd be nice :P
15:30:24  <Terkhen> I don't think that the MinGW tutorial is complicates
15:30:28  <Eddi|zuHause> is that a case of "we should do X" where it meant "YOU should do X"?
15:30:43  <Terkhen> complicated*
15:30:58  <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: well, anybody other than "me", usually
15:31:12  <andythenorth> we should create an "OpenTTD ponies" websiter
15:31:16  <Terkhen> you could make a script for the whole process easily
15:31:20  <andythenorth> -r
15:31:38  * Rubidium used to have a 'compile service' that'd build patches against HEAD
15:32:08  <Terkhen> but IMO the tutorial by itself is simple enough
15:33:26  <Terkhen> telanus: did you try it?
15:33:33  <dihedral> Elukka, for 2500 € i'll be your bitch for a week and build the service for you :-P

15:46:37  <Rubidium> dihedral: I hope he doesn't take your offer the wrong way ;)
15:46:49  <dihedral> :-D
15:47:00  <dihedral> then there would be a few zeros missing :-P
15:48:27  <Terkhen> telanus: which error did you get?
15:48:54  * NGC3982 gets jiggy with it.
15:53:54  <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: if you build it, they will come
15:53:59  <telanus> Terkhen: I get a different one each time
15:54:18  <telanus> Last time, it complained it couldn't dind unicode.h
15:54:30  <Elukka> why is htere a suggestion forum?
15:54:32  <Elukka> *there
15:54:39  <telanus> before it couldn't find some other file
15:58:38  <dihedral> so people have a place to write their stuff and nobody has to care, Elukka
15:58:39  <dihedral> :-P
15:58:58  <dihedral> basically keeping the other forums free of crap :-P
15:59:47  <Eddi|zuHause> that is correct ;)
16:01:01  <Elukka> so the idea is that nobody who isn't a coder on the project can have anything worthwhile to say
16:01:12  <Elukka> i know anyone is free to join the project, but that does sound terribly insular
16:01:53  <FLHerne> Elukka: Nobody who isn't a coder can have anything worthwhile to say unless they become a coder to fulfil their proposal, apparently :P
16:02:34  <planetmaker> Elukka: everyone is free and welcome and invited to bring forward his or her suggestions on improvement of whatever aspect bothers him or her
16:02:46  <planetmaker> For that purpose we DO have the suggestions forum
16:02:54  <Elukka> okay, cool
16:02:58  <planetmaker> Contrary to popular believe it's even read
16:03:37  <planetmaker> But bringing forward a suggestion does NOT imply that anyone knowledgable about the code will immediately jump forward and say "great. I'll have it done tomorrow"
16:04:06  <planetmaker> That won't even happen with ideas which a person agrees with. Good things take time. Sometimes even considerable time
16:04:36  <planetmaker> (as in years)
16:05:19  <Elukka> yes
16:05:46  <planetmaker> of course other things go very quick as well. And that heavily depends... on the code internals.
16:05:59  <planetmaker> and the motivation :-P
16:07:39  <Elukka> i think suggestions on a project like this are less of a request of anyone to do something but rather a way to bring up issues the users have
16:08:15  <planetmaker> there's a difference between suggestion and bug...
16:09:01  <planetmaker> I disagree though that compilation of the project is an issue
16:09:53  <Elukka> well, that was in reply to the notion that suggestions are 100% useless in every case and everyone should just shut up if they're not going to do it themselves
16:10:44  * NGC3982 forgot a server running and realizes that a fair amount of inflation builds up in 1200 years.
16:10:49  <Belugas> this is utterly reductive to the real situation.  some suggestions have been coded
16:10:52  <Rubidium> making the same suggestion (again) usually is useless
16:10:53  <Belugas> not all, but some did
16:11:37  <planetmaker> NGC3982: discover min_active_clients
16:11:39  <Eddi|zuHause> NGC3982: inflation stops after 170 years
16:11:49  * Rubidium wonders how people will like it if that tool were written in labview which requires a 100+ MB runtime ;)
16:12:01  <planetmaker> haha, Rubidium :-)

16:12:33  <Eddi|zuHause> i have a Siemens S300 here, maybe that helps :)
16:12:45  <Rubidium> maybe I should make a qemu mips image that builds windows binaries ;)
16:12:59  <NGC3982> planetmaker: and so, i did! \o/
16:13:09  <planetmaker> Elukka: usually wordings like "...someone could make..." produce results like "make it yourself"
16:13:29  <Elukka> i just said it would be nice if x existed
16:13:45  <Terkhen> telanus1: you probably forgot the etc/fstab step
16:14:09  <planetmaker> you said "...if someone made BuildOTTD or something equivalent..."
16:14:26  <planetmaker> which implies a strong "not me"
16:14:29  <NGC3982> x, on openttd? :3
16:15:03  <planetmaker> might be nuances, but that's how a "someone" usually comes accross and how "someone" is interpreted
16:15:18  <planetmaker> even when not intended
16:15:30  <planetmaker> (just explaining the response)
16:15:40  <Rubidium> someone should make browser hotkeys configurable
16:15:50  <planetmaker> :-)
16:15:55  <Rubidium> especially the ones in firefox so I can disable CTRL+Q
16:16:01  <NGC3982> you guys are talking x and browsers
16:16:04  <NGC3982> im confused.
16:16:11  <Rubidium> it's awfully close to W

16:16:30  <Elukka> okay, true
16:17:24  <planetmaker> as general advise: state what you like see changed. But don't imply that someone else should do it :-)

16:18:04  <planetmaker> and agreed: a "do it yourself" response is not really nice

16:37:08  <Coupon12> What is a linker
16:37:29  <Alberth> oh dear :)
16:37:41  <Alberth> a build has two steps
16:38:09  <Alberth> first is compile, translating each c++ file to an object file. That happens for all c++ files
16:38:18  <Coupon12> because i normally use c#, but i'm just using c++ for this one
16:38:29  <Alberth> second is linking, which links all object files together into one executable
16:38:35  <__ln__> you call OpenTTD junk?

16:54:11  <NGC3982> andythenorth: as recalled vagely from the grf tutorial. doesnt most vehicle grf code ignore the map type?
16:54:23  <andythenorth> yes
16:54:31  <andythenorth> but why do we do it?
16:54:33  <andythenorth> it's silly
16:54:44  <NGC3982> indeed
16:54:57  <Alberth> everybody ignores existence of 3 new other climates
16:55:01  <andythenorth> default game offers 4 different gameplay experiences out of the box
16:55:17  <andythenorth> whereas with my grfs, the terrain is completely incidentall
16:55:21  <andythenorth> so it's all very 'meh'
16:55:48  <andythenorth> and the more I convert my grfs to be generated, the more 'meh' they get
16:56:06  <andythenorth> because generated grfs have to fit to a framework of common cases
16:59:39  <NGC3982> i see.
16:59:48  <NGC3982> Alberth: did you say new?
17:00:39  <Alberth> yep, I did; no idea why tbh
17:02:11  * andythenorth types a lot of things and has no idea why

17:22:25  <andythenorth> hmm
17:22:37  * andythenorth can't think of viable alternatives tbh
17:24:42  <Alberth> (possibly some) different vehicles in different climates?   different characteristics?
17:24:59  <Alberth> some climates have no electric tracks
17:25:19  <andythenorth> so for HEQS...?
17:25:29  <andythenorth> which mining trucks aren't valid for arctic?
17:25:31  <andythenorth> etc
17:25:35  * andythenorth ponders
17:26:45  <andythenorth> same issue for ships
17:27:26  <michi_cc> Specialized vehicles that are used globally are used globally, no need to tinker with that. Many other NewGRFs suggest (or even enforce, e.g. DBSet) a specific climate, but still have only a single set of vehicles.
17:27:51  <andythenorth> in default TTD, planes are same in all climates?
17:27:53  <andythenorth> hmm
17:27:55  <andythenorth> and RVs and ships
17:28:03  * andythenorth is arguing from poor evidence :P
17:28:32  <andythenorth> another idea bites the dust
17:28:36  <andythenorth> only another 99 to go :)
17:28:44  <michi_cc> The historical reasoning is that NewGRFs don't provide different vehicles/stations/whatever per climate, but instead the player is simply supposed to select different NewGRFs for different climates.
17:28:50  <andythenorth> yup
17:29:03  <andythenorth> that's maybe how BANDIT would handle it, if I ever get that far
17:30:06  <andythenorth> FIRS is same in all climates
17:30:08  <andythenorth> silly old FIRS
17:30:16  <Alberth> wiki suggests mostly trains are different
17:30:44  <Alberth> FIRS does not fit in toyland imo

17:31:33  <FLHerne> Alberth: Would it not be possible to swap Toyland for something else? :P

17:52:17  <andythenorth> so I guess we could probably get acceptable performance on a modern laptop?

17:53:10  <andythenorth> probably
17:53:14  <andythenorth> they were small teams

18:10:57  <telanus> Is there a way to make firs build Fishing harbours at the coast (on the edge of the map) and not in a small pond (in the middle of the map?
18:11:43  <andythenorth> not really
18:15:49  <Coupon12> ugh, when i try to download opengfx i get the yellow screen of death
18:16:27  * andythenorth ponders removing fishing harbour
18:17:09  <Coupon12> how do you download bundles?
18:17:33  <Hirundo> andythenorth: just deliver fish directly to shops in towns?
18:17:40  <andythenorth> maybe
18:17:54  <andythenorth> I don't like including things that are irrevocably broken
18:18:01  <andythenorth> fishing harbour is such a thing
18:21:35  <Coupon12> alright, where do i put the opengfx files

18:30:19  <telanus> Andythenorth, what about fishing markets in towns?
18:30:42  <andythenorth> possible
18:31:20  <andythenorth> the harbours have to go I think
18:31:36  * andythenorth ponders deleting the fishing chain entirely
18:31:50  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Nooo! :-(
18:32:06  <andythenorth> FIRS is too big
18:32:15  <FLHerne> Provides a real use for small boats
18:32:25  <FLHerne> And no, it's still too small :P
18:33:21  <FLHerne> It needs fish markets and non-town-attached fish processing plants, then fishing chain will work better
18:33:38  <andythenorth> that's more stuff, not less
18:33:42  <andythenorth> less stuff is the goal
18:34:02  <FLHerne> More stuff [i]should[/i] be the goal :-)
18:34:13  <FLHerne> More stuff is good :D
18:34:55  <FLHerne> Would it be possible to give fishing harbours integrated docks? They are [i]harbours[/i]...
18:35:52  <andythenorth> no
18:36:12  <frosch123> industries are neutral
18:36:22  <frosch123> you cannot combine them with company owned stations
18:36:34  <FLHerne> Can only water-surrounded things have docks, then? Or only primary industries?
18:36:51  <FLHerne> Why can't they have neutral stations, anyway?
18:36:53  <andythenorth> the water industries have a dock because there is no alternative
18:37:03  <andythenorth> neutral stations are considered highly undesirable for gameplay
18:37:09  <andythenorth> I don't know the issue, I never play in MP
18:37:12  <andythenorth> but it was a flat 'no'
18:37:24  <andythenorth> vetoed
18:37:40  <andythenorth> also, they gain helicopter pads with the station
18:37:43  <FLHerne> I think they mess up the transfers because you can use them to swap cargo between companies :-(
18:37:50  <andythenorth> helipad causes bug reports
18:38:02  <FLHerne> Can it detect SP v MP?
18:38:48  <andythenorth> don't think so
18:39:25  <FLHerne> Have a parameter then :P (default off maybe). It seems silly to have to build a dock to serve a harbour :P
18:40:46  <andythenorth> parameters = string
18:40:51  <andythenorth> string = buggy grf
18:41:18  <FLHerne> How does that follow?
18:41:21  <andythenorth> i.e. big ball of string running through the grf = bad
18:41:28  <andythenorth> don't tie everything up in string
18:41:53  <andythenorth> clean interface, not 'if x then z, but not on tuesdays'
18:42:31  <andythenorth> basically fishing harbours are a stupid idea
18:42:36  <andythenorth> and should go
18:42:59  <FLHerne> Possibly, in that case. Have fish markets in towns, instead? :P
18:43:10  <andythenorth> kind of boring
18:43:15  <andythenorth> will mean always having to transfer
18:43:25  <FLHerne> Which is good! :P
18:43:26  <andythenorth> unless they end up on the coast
18:43:51  <FLHerne> And the problem with transfers is...?
18:44:36  <andythenorth> boring to set up
18:44:38  <andythenorth> loads of clicks
18:45:08  <andythenorth> although....it's not any worse than current fishing harbour situation
18:45:11  <FLHerne> And the problem with clicks is...? :P
18:45:16  <andythenorth> boring
18:45:26  <FLHerne> Really? :o
18:45:30  <andythenorth> the current fishing harbour placement often needs transfers anyway :P
18:45:33  <andythenorth> as it's broken
18:46:27  <FLHerne> No, the way OTTD generates water is broken :-(
18:47:04  <andythenorth> ah
18:47:16  <andythenorth> I'm not sure that FIRS fishing ground code survived the nml migration
18:47:30  <andythenorth> I made harbours locate quite close to fishing grounds
18:47:47  <andythenorth> it's very annoying when the only harbour is on the other side of the map to the fishing grounds
18:47:49  <FLHerne> It makes no sense, there should be far more contiguous stuff, with lakes higher than sea level, rivers actually following catchment areas, etc :P
18:47:52  <andythenorth> that code is missing in action
18:48:19  * andythenorth wonders if other similar co-location code is MIA
18:48:24  <andythenorth> the clustering is broken too
18:48:32  <FLHerne> Not to mention downhill rivers from lakes to the sea, which just don't exist :-(
18:48:52  * andythenorth -> pub
18:48:56  <andythenorth> bye

20:04:56  <Terkhen> that's why they add so many free games and sell their own games dirt cheap to get you into it
20:05:01  <Terkhen> :D
20:06:03  <Wolf01> when I started to use it there weren't free games :P
20:06:23  <Wolf01> if not some rare cases
20:09:59  <__ln__> is CitiesXL any good?
20:11:23  <Wolf01> from the screenshots it looks promising
20:11:46  <Terkhen> yes, when I started there weren't many either
20:11:55  <Terkhen> but at some point they even made TF2 free :P

20:30:51  <Wolf01> trine, fable, but you must like the genres
20:31:24  <Wolf01> assassin's creed (the first one) if you don't have it already
20:31:47  <Wolf01> oh there is assassi'ns creed 2 too
20:34:02  <__ln__> i guess i could pick one or two and try; i don't tend to play much so i'm a bit unfamiliar with games of the 2000's :)
20:34:37  <Wolf01> then lurk on the star wars franchise pack
20:34:41  <Wolf01> :)
20:35:24  <Wolf01> I purchased it this xmas, all the dark forces saga
20:36:07  <Wolf01> and the jedi knights too
20:40:37  <__ln__> i have some something-jedi for ps3, but since i forgot its name i probably haven't played it in a while
20:41:47  <Wolf01> the force unleashed maybe
20:42:34  <__ln__> yeah, that's the one
20:42:37  <Eddi|zuHause> Sacro: "10 year old game with mods" is always better than "brand new game rushed to a release"
20:43:50  <Wolf01> you have a spectacular example: the game which names this channel :P
20:44:15  <Eddi|zuHause> also Civ4 with mods is "better" than Civ5
20:45:09  <Eddi|zuHause> look at the balance fixes they did in the first few months... it's fairly obvious that it was rushed
20:45:22  * Terkhen did not like Civ5 at all
20:45:52  <Eddi|zuHause> actually i do like Civ5. the gameplay is significantly different from Civ4, and thus interesting.

21:19:05  <FLHerne> Terkhen: night
21:19:16  <Prof_Frink> frosch123: The object sat next to me would disagree.
21:19:39  <Supercheese> And even on devices with mobile internet, [Micro]SD is very useful for local storage, like for phones with limited internal memory
21:20:26  <FLHerne> Tried internet over infra-red? Don't. It doesn't work :P
21:20:38  <Prof_Frink> A couple of hundred gig of daily backups would not fit down the intertubes in an acceptable amount of time.
21:20:40  <frosch123> if you never remove the storage from the device, then it's not mobile storage, is it?
21:21:05  <Supercheese> I remove it all the time to transfer stuff between PC and device, but perhaps that's just me
21:21:06  <frosch123> at least i wouldn't call a harddisk mobile, even if it is inside a notebook
21:21:40  <frosch123> maybe, removable media is the more correct term :)
21:22:45  <Prof_Frink> Not a harddisk, and definitely removable.
21:23:58  <frosch123> well, maybe we can at least agree on the fakt, that dvd burners are useless except for stealing movies
21:24:15  <frosch123> and even for that the usage is questionable
21:24:33  <FLHerne> frosch123: Burning install disks
21:24:51  <Supercheese> I can't remember the last time I used optical media on a PC outside of burning music CDs to play in my car
21:25:03  <Supercheese> Oh, wait, it was to make a recovery CD for me OS
21:25:11  <FLHerne> And transferring files that don't fit onto a floppy to transfer to non-networkable devices
21:25:23  <frosch123> yeah, minimal boot cds :)
