00:11:25  <DDR> Hey, guise... would it be possible to write script or something that made a new window with AI-like properties?
00:11:47  <DDR> eg, click a button, have the script keep an eye on something for you?
00:12:14  <DDR> Like, say... trains?
00:12:40  <DDR> See, I have come to the conclusion that having trains have a route is all backwards. What we _really_ want is for a route to have trains.
00:13:19  <DDR> Then you just edit the route's train-consist and it'll replace what we have out when convenient.
00:14:26  <DDR> That way, we don't have to fuck around manually upgrading trains and whatnot. I know there is autoreplace, but I'm a bit scared of that.
00:19:19  *** Djohaal [~Djohaal@177.16.122.201] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
00:26:04  <Flygon> I actually like that idea
00:26:17  <Flygon> Assign trains to a route, and have them be modified for adding or removing cars
00:26:45  <Flygon> Issue is, what happens if you have multiple different sorts of trains, on one route/group, that while comparable
00:26:51  <Flygon> Are still different types?
00:27:08  <Flygon> To use a local example, you have Hitachi, Comeng, and Siemens trains
00:27:28  <Flygon> They range from 1972 to 2004, but all are comparable, and have similar specs and carriage size...
00:28:03  <Flygon> But in OpenTTD, adding extra carriages would either require a homogenous train type, or doing 3 seperate operations, assuming your script works the way I think it does...
00:28:08  <Flygon> Er, idea, not script

00:46:16  <DDR> Flygon: Different route, but I'd considering having a 'this route duplicates this other route". Like how ctrl-goto works now.
00:46:51  <DDR> You'd only have one engine type, of course, but I usually run routes with homogeneous engines anyway.
00:47:11  <DDR> Otherwise, the faster engines run into the slower ones.
00:48:12  <Flygon> Ah
00:48:24  <Flygon> I was assuming this was things like suburban/metro routes
00:48:27  <DDR> I mean, yes, you loose some flexibility, but I'd sacrifice that for not having to figure out twenty identical trains when auto-replace can't.
00:48:32  <Flygon> Where generally, all trains have the same specs
00:48:40  <DDR> I'm not really sure what those are, in this context.

00:50:03  <Flygon> I was assuming a similar sort of situation in OpenTTD could cause issues :p

00:52:46  <DDR> It would, but that's not what the routes idea optimizes for.
00:53:03  <Flygon> Alright
00:53:49  <DDR> Like, the problem is that I have 10 identical trains running a single route, and it's a real pain to have to upgrade.
00:54:57  <DDR> I was thinking that an AI could be used to band-aid the problem. You tell the AI what routes have what stops, give it a train, and then it takes care of the details.
00:55:00  <DDR> bbl, dinner.
00:58:21  <Flygon> Good idea
01:01:27  <Eddi|zuHause> DDR: lots of things involved with this route idea... group system redesign, timetables, vehicle templates, ...
01:01:42  <Eddi|zuHause> some of these things already have patches
01:02:34  <Eddi|zuHause> problem with "AI-like" behaviour: someone will always find applications that break this behaviour. e.g. the existing automatic timetable separation breaks horribly when there are traffic jams
01:10:20  <Supercheese> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5441
01:10:28  <Supercheese> Official report of a bug I mentioned yesterday
01:23:44  *** Superuser [~root@cust-120-96.on4.ontelecoms.gr] has joined #openttd
01:30:11  <DDR> Eddi|zuHause: Yep.
01:31:48  <DDR> I only use timetables for things like 'stay 5 days'. I was thinking that a sort of route-ai could also, say, 'run vehicles non-clumped', but that is non-core.
01:32:03  <DDR> It's a bit of a pipe dream.
01:42:23  *** pugi [~pugi@host-091-097-046-036.ewe-ip-backbone.de] has quit []
01:43:25  <Flygon> I only end up running timetables for time spent in the station...
01:43:41  <Flygon> Because it's hard to predict how long a route can take on optimum speed
01:43:53  <Flygon> And since I expand networks agressively
01:43:59  <Flygon> I can't spend time on timetables...
01:48:58  <DDR> Especially with breakdowns on.

03:51:11  <Supercheese> model_life: 1920;
03:51:37  <Supercheese> Problem: that value seems to be capped
03:51:57  <Supercheese> according to the spec anyway
03:58:54  <Supercheese> Guess that's why eGRVTS horse-drawn stuff isn't available from year 0
04:06:36  <Eddi|zuHause> the exact limits might be in the NFO specs
04:06:50  <Supercheese> byte, so 255 or so
04:07:12  <Supercheese> though NML claims 254
04:07:34  <Supercheese> I doubt very many people will play games before 1680
04:07:38  <Supercheese> :P
04:08:04  <Eddi|zuHause> "doubt" is not "certain"
04:08:21  <Supercheese> Not sure how to provide the option though, guess I could just have a duplicate horse
04:08:35  <Supercheese> Oh, forgot to mention it is for a horse & rider
04:08:51  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not sure, maybe 255 could be treated as infinite internally
04:08:54  <Eddi|zuHause> never checked
04:08:59  <Supercheese> could be
04:09:09  <Supercheese> NML named constant VEHICLE_NEVER_EXPIRES
04:09:23  <Supercheese> thought I'd expect that to be zero and not 255
04:09:41  <Eddi|zuHause> well just use that constant then?
04:09:56  <Supercheese> Oh, I havent typed out my thought process here
04:10:02  <Supercheese> havent blarg wtf

04:11:04  <Eddi|zuHause> relying on auto spell correct sounds like a horribly hazardous habit
04:11:45  <Supercheese> I have this enormous autohotkey script
04:11:56  <Supercheese> It has enabled me to be immensely lazy with contractions
04:12:53  <Supercheese> Just type "didnt" and auto-filters to didn't, and so on
04:17:35  <Eddi|zuHause> that's exactly what i mean
04:17:59  <Eddi|zuHause> if you start to rely on this, your own spelling will degenerate
04:18:05  <Supercheese> doubtful
04:18:13  <Supercheese> For some people, perhaps

04:20:05  <Flygon> Wait, it's impossible to have vehicles before 1680?
04:20:07  <Supercheese> Would certainly be an interesting experiment to carry out with a large sample size
04:20:38  <Supercheese> It's impossible to have vehicles that expire around 1930 before the year 1676
04:20:45  <Supercheese> due to the model_life cap at 254
04:20:52  <Flygon> Oh
04:20:54  <Flygon> Gotcha
04:21:09  <Supercheese> of course the game adds some randomness to the expiry date
04:21:19  <Supercheese> expiry? expiration?
04:21:30  <Eddi|zuHause> one of those :p
04:21:37  <Supercheese> they seem to be synonyms
04:22:37  <Supercheese> it's too bad there's no synonym for cinnamon, think of all the puns that could be made
04:23:14  <Eddi|zuHause> what the hell are you talking about?
04:24:37  <Supercheese> plays-on-words
04:24:49  <Eddi|zuHause> i know what a pun is
04:25:02  <Eddi|zuHause> and i know what cinnamon is (i think)
04:25:15  <Eddi|zuHause> but i still don't know what the hell you're talking about
04:26:08  <Supercheese> pronounce them
04:26:11  <Supercheese> cinnamon
04:26:12  <Supercheese> synonym
04:26:42  <Supercheese> perhaps it's a dialect thing, they sound almost the same when I say them
04:26:47  <Eddi|zuHause> these words definitely do not sound alike to my german ears
04:27:07  <Supercheese> yeah, different pronunciations then
04:27:17  <Flygon> Well
04:27:18  <Supercheese> they're identical save for the final syllable in US english
04:27:18  <Flygon> It depends
04:27:32  <Flygon> English has different languages depending on the location
04:27:48  <Flygon> It makes Skype chats baffling difficult with Americans when you speak Australian
04:27:53  <Supercheese> indeed
04:29:56  <Flygon> This makes things even more awkward when I have Europeans telling me that they'd like to Skype chat, but their spoken English is apperantly terrible...

04:30:11  <Flygon> Awkward step is telling them that at least 25% of Americans I speak to struggle to understand me :p
04:30:17  <Supercheese> we tend to overabuse the schwa in US english

04:31:24  <Flygon> cbf figuring out Unicode
04:31:25  <Flygon> Sorry
04:31:36  <Supercheese> Eh, was auto-enabled for me
04:31:51  <Eddi|zuHause> Supercheese: might have to do with me separating "a" and "o" very strictly when reading words
04:32:13  <Supercheese> Indeed, as I said we're terribly lazy with vowels here in the States
04:32:23  <Flygon> Supercheese: You'd be baffled as to how badly Australia has mangled English
04:32:26  <Flygon> Even worse
04:32:32  <Flygon> It changes per state
04:32:42  <Supercheese> Well, Australia is a large place
04:32:50  <Flygon> And locations inside states...
04:33:09  <Flygon> America is a large place
04:33:14  <Supercheese> Although even places like Spain and Germany have different dialects, and they're quite smaller
04:33:24  <Flygon> But at least people don't confuse you with being either British, Australian, or Dutch :p
04:33:41  <Supercheese> Americans can easily confuse any Commonwealth accent with another
04:33:48  <Eddi|zuHause> there are areas in germany where one village doesn't understand the dialect of the neighbouring village :pö
04:33:55  <Flygon> The Dutch guess by a friend was actually a very good catch... my Grandfather was Dutch :p
04:34:16  <Flygon> Eddi: Sounds like Finland, going by my discussions with Finns
04:34:36  <Flygon> We established that the only difference between Finland and Australia is that one snows more often :B
04:35:05  <Eddi|zuHause> or in switzerland, where dialects evolved independently in different valleys. it's like galapagos turtles or so :p
04:38:04  <kamnet> Interestingly enough, I read an article a week or two ago which stated that American dialects of the 20th century most closely reflects English dialects of the 18th century.
04:39:52  <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds very overgeneralized
04:42:22  *** glx [glx@000128ec.user.oftc.net] has quit [Quit: Bye !]
04:42:29  <kamnet> There's still quite a bit of influence from Irish and Italian immigration, but for the most part still very "stock". It said the change in the English dialects started in the upper class in the early 19th century and eventually became indoctrinated into the education system.
04:47:53  <Supercheese> Fun, English wikipedia featured article is the London Metropolitan Railway
04:48:54  <kamnet> Ah, here we go. And I was slightly off. Split was in mid 18th century (around the time of the American Revolution)

07:11:16  <Supercheese> I'll write the switches and see if it behaves as expected
07:11:33  <peter1138> maybe someone saw the 16 and thought it meant it was 0..15
07:11:49  <Supercheese> 0..15 same magnitude as 1..16
07:12:00  <peter1138> exactly

08:56:44  <planetmaker> So you could actually introduce longer animations. NML currently only returns (var 0x46 & 0x00000F00) >> 8
08:56:55  <planetmaker> and calls that motion_counter
08:57:45  <peter1138> right

12:23:31  <peter1138> that looked catastrophic

12:23:48  <peter1138> ?
12:23:51  <Celestar> collision detection for naval vessels :P
12:24:15  <Eddi|zuHause> Celestar: i think that's a bad idea.
12:24:23  <Celestar> lol
12:24:28  <Celestar> the reason being?
12:24:41  <drac_boy> me too eddi
12:24:46  <peter1138> the huge ferry glitches out the side of the lock :S
12:24:58  <Celestar> well
12:25:14  <Celestar> maybe it's a Panama lock and the vessel is post-Panamax?
12:25:15  <Celestar> :P
12:25:25  <Eddi|zuHause> Celestar: it would totally cripple ships, which are already at a disadvantage, because the game doesn't model "slow" cargos very well
12:25:54  <Eddi|zuHause> Celestar: however, i think ships should be separated at docks like aircraft, so only one ship per dock/loading bay
12:26:07  <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, guess what
12:26:07  <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: well. then not crippling ships by having them diffuse through each other sounds like the solution to the wrong problem :P
12:26:18  <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, i've a patch for that :p
12:26:21  <Celestar> HAHAH
12:26:24  <Celestar> I missed that.
12:27:00  <Eddi|zuHause> your webcam is broken
12:27:26  <drac_boy> eddi problem is 'one ship per dock' may be a bit counterproductive to the small ships. because two can fit in the same berth only one big ocean ship can fit in
12:27:38  <drac_boy> just mentioning that, not been the first time for me tho
12:28:08  <Eddi|zuHause> drac_boy: different statemachines for small/medium/large ships?
12:28:23  <drac_boy> sounds fair to me
12:28:36  <peter1138> yeah i adapted ships to use multi-stop docks
12:28:45  <peter1138> so there could be 2 at each dock
12:28:54  <peter1138> but it doesn't use statemachines atm
12:29:15  <peter1138> cos that just isn't going to work with so a wide size different
12:29:18  <peter1138> *difference
12:29:37  <peter1138> oh, and of course ships stop outside the dock, not on it

12:30:30  <Eddi|zuHause> the current dock has 3 sides, so theoretically 3 ships could load there, but maybe large vessels could only load at the "front", not the "sides"
12:30:31  *** bolli [~Sam@dab-bas2-h-50-1.dab.02.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
12:30:45  <drac_boy> eddi the reason I bought that up is because even although the scales are a bit out of porpotional it would had been realistic for two lake fishing boats to be able to berth where only one single ocean-going container carrier boat could fit at
12:31:14  <Eddi|zuHause> drac_boy: yes, but currently, ships have no "size" at all
12:31:16  <drac_boy> 3 sides..hmm I would really say two but thats me
12:31:34  <peter1138> 2 sides and the end
12:31:52  <peter1138> not all (3) sides may be available though
12:32:21  <Eddi|zuHause> we need river docks anyway, things you can put on flat land
12:32:25  <drac_boy> I've never really seen a skinny pier that ever had any berth at the 'front' end rather than only down the sides but I'm not going to complain, do whatever you think you like best of that ok? :)
12:32:55  <peter1138> sure but that's a valid place for ships to stop atm
12:33:29  <peter1138> you can run a single-width canal and put a dock at the end such that only the short side is accessible
12:33:49  <Eddi|zuHause> well, it could be up to the newgrf author ;)
12:34:54  <michi_cc> Eddi|zuHause: There's even specs for flat docks, somebody just has to implement them and draw up some default graphics.
12:35:41  <peter1138> it's unfortunate that roadstops are called roadstops :p
12:35:49  <Eddi|zuHause> drac_boy: i think your "problem" can be solved with different graphics :)

13:00:17  <oskari89> (default gates graphics)
13:00:46  <oskari89> Like that: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Poland_Nogat_-_Biala_Gora_lock.jpg
13:00:53  <michi_cc> The only things that need settings are changes that would definitely break old savegames, and that will definitely not.
13:01:59  <Ammler> michi_cc: that is technical view, there is also gameplay change
13:02:00  <peter1138> oskari89, that would need a state machine
13:02:17  <peter1138> oskari89, and dealing with multiple ships
13:02:36  <peter1138> this patch just makes ships treated slopes specially
13:03:06  <michi_cc> Ammler: That's what I mean. Something that literally breaks savegames, i.e.makes it impossible to load, is not trunk material. Some ships moving up and down don't break gameplay.
13:04:51  <peter1138> not broken but changed
13:04:57  <peter1138> very minorly
13:05:02  <Ammler> oh, it is basically just change of the animation? I thought, it does queue ships etc. :-)
13:05:18  <peter1138> it causes the ship to stop briefly
13:05:30  <peter1138> then it has to raise/lower, and then accelerate again
13:05:49  <Ammler> that is really no harm, what if a ship crosses?
13:05:50  <peter1138> without the patch they go through at full speed, following the slope
13:06:02  <peter1138> if the paths cross then the universe ends
13:06:07  <peter1138> i mean, it just looks a bit weird
13:06:15  <Ammler> ok :-)
13:06:16  <peter1138> but no different to ships crossing normally anyway

13:06:33  <michi_cc> Even if you do make a setting, have it default on, otherwise nobody will notice it.
13:06:52  <peter1138> i think no setting may be okay
13:07:07  <peter1138> as if we *did* introduce a state-machine type thing later it could be awkward
13:07:20  <peter1138> "why do ships go straight through these locks"

13:08:15  <peter1138> setting == save game bump :S
13:09:00  <oskari89> Would the state machine thing be hard to code?
13:09:44  <peter1138> not hard to code, but fairly invasive
13:09:58  <peter1138> ships have no concept of collisions, and therefore no concept of waiting
13:10:07  <Eddi|zuHause> <michi_cc> The only things that need settings are changes that would definitely break old savegames, and that will definitely not <-- so what happens with savegames where a ship is halfway up a slope?
13:10:18  <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, good point
13:10:26  <peter1138> that would break
13:11:33  <Eddi|zuHause> that does not necessarily need a setting, only a savegame conversion

13:54:26  <Flygon> Man, I can't wait for 2019ish
13:54:43  <peter1138> :-(
13:54:47  <Flygon> Melbourne had the worlds largest electric network around 100 years before then :B
13:55:21  <Flygon> But then we ran out of lines to electrify... barring regional lines. And the steam locos went over 100km/h. EMU's capped @ 80km/hish
13:55:53  <Eddi|zuHause> 80km/h-ish is perfectly fine for commuter lines
13:58:51  <Flygon> Eddi: Not for train trips that take 110 minutes with DMU's that can go 177km/h, though :p
13:59:31  <Flygon> Amusingly, the EMU carriages could be hauled @ over 80km/h by a steam locomotive
14:00:57  <Flygon> I should note, Eddi, 80km/h is the official speed limit
14:01:10  <Flygon> Probably imposed due to 191x era 1500v substation limitations
14:01:41  <Flygon> Chances are, they've been driven to 100km/h by accident, just like how current EMU's 'designed' for 115km/h have been accidentally coasted to 130km/h+ :p
14:02:00  <Flygon> But it's hard to get, due to a standard 'stopping all stations' pattern
14:02:12  <Eddi|zuHause> the berlin S-Bahn had similar limits, electrification started in the 1920s
14:02:27  <Flygon> What voltage?
14:02:35  <Flygon> And overhead wire or third rail?
14:02:41  <Eddi|zuHause> third rail
14:02:44  <Flygon> Overhead here... ZERO third rail in Australia
14:02:45  <Flygon> Ah
14:02:52  <Flygon> Third rail.... I really dislike it
14:02:54  <peter1138> 3rd rail is fun
14:03:03  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not sure about the voltage, possibly 750V
14:03:11  <Flygon> It's advantages are offset by stupidly low voltage
14:03:18  <Eddi|zuHause> i could look that up, but.. :p
14:03:20  <Flygon> 750v is... well, bad :(

14:03:28  <Flygon> Only good for trams imo...
14:03:28  <peter1138> weird thing about the metropolitan line is how far out of london it went
14:03:55  <Flygon> peter1138: Yeah, Australian cities were influenced heavily by that sort of design
14:04:25  <Eddi|zuHause> indeed, it's 750V
14:04:36  <Flygon> eg. Melbourne-Pakenham is the same distance as Melbourne-Geelong... the former is considered a Metro line, latter is a Diesel HST line for a 'regional' city, hahaha
14:05:13  <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: i guess it's not that bad, as with third rail you can get "more copper" better than on catenary, so you can transmit higher currents
14:06:04  <Flygon> There's only so much current you can shove into a third rail
14:06:07  <peter1138> it ended at verney junction, which is a tiny little hamlet out in the middle of nowhere
14:06:25  <Flygon> ...specifically, your substations run out of grunt
14:06:35  <Eddi|zuHause> they experimented with various systems before WWI, and it was planned to go for catenary&AC at that time, but after the plans got revived after WWI, it was reconsidered and decided for 3rd rail&DC instead
14:06:53  <Flygon> peter1138: People claim that the Hurstbridge line here terminates at a tiny village :p
14:07:05  <Flygon> AC?
14:07:09  <Flygon> Wow, I'm surprised
14:07:16  <Flygon> I'd have expected 11kV DC
14:07:39  <Eddi|zuHause> you can't really get DC that high
14:07:43  <peter1138> Flygon, pfft, that's only 23 miles
14:08:06  <Flygon> peter1138: Hurstbridge UK or Hurstbridge Victoria?
14:08:17  <Flygon> Eddi: What's the practical limit?
14:08:27  <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: it was around the same time that they started electrifying main lines, which was done with 15kV AC
14:08:36  <Flygon> Ah
14:08:38  <peter1138> there is no hurstbridge uk
14:08:47  <Flygon> I'm surprised they didn't go with 15kV AC then...
14:09:16  <Flygon> peter1138: Ah, sorry. Many Australian towns are ripped from the UK.
14:09:27  <Flygon> eg. St Albans is a town in NSW, and a suburb in Vic
14:09:46  <Flygon> Either way, compared to the rest of Metro, Hurstbridge is considered 'out in the sticks'
14:09:50  <Eddi|zuHause> main line electrification in prussia was not located around berlin, so there was no reason to stick to that voltage
14:09:56  <Flygon> So is Stony Point... but it's the only Diesel Metro line

14:10:14  <Eddi|zuHause> mainline electrification reached berlin only in the 1980s
14:10:24  <peter1138> (of course, difference is it doesn't still go there)
14:10:25  <Flygon> In fact, Stony Point literally terminates at a beach
14:10:36  <Flygon> Ah, I was going to ask that
14:11:16  <Flygon> I should note, when most Melbourne suburban lines were built, many places trains stopped at were like Verney Junction
14:11:17  <Eddi|zuHause> (electrification efforts were actually enforced in the 1930s, but they didn't manage to finish before WWII)
14:11:30  <Flygon> But the city practically grew on the stations (also, trams)
14:12:04  <Flygon> Is that railway shown still used by trains, peter1138?

14:12:33  <peter1138> hope not :)
14:12:58  <peter1138> weird to see a disused line with tracks still
14:12:59  <Flygon> Hmm
14:12:59  <Flygon> Eh
14:13:06  <Flygon> That's still freight quality here
14:13:14  <Flygon> Just slap a 25-40km/h speed restriction on it
14:13:27  <peter1138> don't be silly
14:13:33  <peter1138> freight goes in trucks :p
14:13:41  <Flygon> I'm not being silly
14:13:45  <Flygon> Mildura line is an example here
14:13:47  <peter1138> i know
14:14:02  <Flygon> We haul a lot of grain
14:14:33  <Flygon> But, yeah, point is
14:14:44  <Flygon> I don't like third rail
14:14:54  <Flygon> Too many practical problems with it, compared to an overhead wire
14:15:47  <Flygon> Now if we'd just build darned Double Decker trains for longer distance lines...
14:16:20  <peter1138> if only they'd fit on our lines
14:16:41  <Flygon> Early adopter syndrome?
14:17:37  <Flygon> Victoria has a similar issue. Part of the reason DD trains are so 'hard' to get here, is because we have a small loading gauge (compared to the rest of Aus)
14:18:27  <Flygon> This's made using pre-existing models for things from other networks a pain
14:19:10  <Flygon> On the upside, the gauge is large enough that when you guys sell off your BR125's, we can use them as freight locomotives to replace our 1950s ones :B

14:24:29  * drac_boy smacks flygon for such a stupid suggestion
14:24:31  <drac_boy> :p
14:24:41  <Flygon> I'm being serious
14:24:42  <drac_boy> more like you need Class 66
14:24:44  <drac_boy> :)
14:25:12  <Flygon> ....
14:25:14  <Flygon> Those aren't old
14:25:22  <Flygon> I'm suggesting INTENTIONALLY buying old stock
14:25:27  <Flygon> Additionally
14:25:36  <Flygon> BR125 has parts interchangable with XPT
14:26:03  <Flygon> And besides
14:26:06  <Flygon> drac_boy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NR_class
14:26:17  <drac_boy> well BR125 is a highspeed passenger locomotive and also other thing..its well-received in preservation .. so beside "freight" would be blocked at sale time I imagine
14:26:37  <Flygon> Damn
14:26:39  <Flygon> Well, still
14:26:50  <Flygon> V/Line Passenger could use them for some long distance trains
14:27:25  <Pinkbeast> I cannot imagine that if we were selling Class 43s we'd stop you using them for whatever you liked
14:27:28  <drac_boy> Class 66 on the other hand are too numerous at times and they're pretty much norm on anything to do with freights
14:27:31  <Flygon> So that they can run 160-200km/h for Swan Hill trains on the RFR tracks, instead of 80-115km/h with a giant lawnmow-, I mean, classy N-class locomotive
14:27:54  <drac_boy> Pinkbeast theres been many sale diverages/blockages through europe...even from france too...so
14:28:46  <Pinkbeast> I'm not sure what France has to do with it.
14:29:22  <Flygon> Point is... it'd be nice to see the BR125 locomotives continue service around the world
14:29:31  <Pinkbeast> If we'd send the A4s and Britannias to be cut up and turned into razor blades, I cannot see any reason why we would impose any condition on sales of the Class 43
14:29:39  <Flygon> They're quite remarkable, and still are quite useful for long distance trips
14:29:54  <Pinkbeast> Flygon: well, if you ask me, they might continue service in the UK for a good few years yet, replacement programme or no. :-)
14:29:55  <Flygon> Thing is, Pinkbeast
14:29:57  <Flygon> Timems have changed
14:29:58  <drac_boy> Pinkbeast well don't look at me, I'm only going by the monthly news report from europewide areas
14:29:59  *** Kjetil [kjetil@161.81-166-7.customer.lyse.net] has joined #openttd
14:30:06  <Flygon> People won't scrap them as likely now
14:30:15  <Flygon> Due to public outcry of a British icon being scrapped
14:30:22  <Pinkbeast> drac: yes, because "Europe" is a monolith, we know
14:30:42  <Flygon> Pinkbeast: True, true... still
14:30:54  <Flygon> If they're ever phased out, It'd be nice to see them on VLP service :)
14:31:17  <Flygon> That, and theoretical forward/backward-compatiblity with the XPT with modifications
14:31:23  <Pinkbeast> I don't know that they'd go for scrap, but I think this idea that if we sold them to another country we'd insist they be used for particular purposes is laughable.
14:31:25  <drac_boy> pinkbeast...the funny thing is.. some of the EWS diesels that were only booked in uk alone .. they are left to rust very badly outdoor at least reporting a few months ago .. basically wouldn't sale them or even scrap them
14:31:40  <Flygon> Kinda funny, XPT is an advancement on the 125 design... but it's top speed is lower :P
14:31:53  <Flygon> What
14:31:56  <Flygon> Really?
14:32:08  <Flygon> But keeping them in operation would have kept them maintained :(
14:32:11  <Pinkbeast> Well, the gearing's right for Australian railways.
14:32:27  <NGC3982> Computers baffle me.
14:32:28  <Flygon> Same reason the 1950s locomotives from here refuse to die. Because they're maintained well
14:32:39  <NGC3982> OpenTTD starts lagging due to big map, with lot's of stuff on it.
14:32:50  <NGC3982> But the RAM is not full, and the CPU is barely working.
14:32:55  <Flygon> Pinkbeast: True, but it'd be nice to see it regeared to 125 specs, and run on a Victorian RFR line.
14:33:00  <Flygon> Just to see how fast it could actually go
14:33:15  <Flygon> I'll be damned if it couldn't go 230
14:33:22  <Flygon> km/h, that is
14:33:34  <Flygon> NGC3982: Rendering?
14:33:41  <Flygon> Disable trees
14:34:06  <drac_boy> flygon well I'm just continuing the same topic anyway .. also on a related note SNCF ordered a lot of new locomotives even as they're moving less freights .. funny thing is most of the previous generation electrics and some diesels are just basically sitting in a full locomotives yard 0_o
14:34:12  <NGC3982> Flygon: It's not like it's unplayable. I just ..don't understand what makes my framerate drop
14:34:25  <NGC3982> Removing the trees surely increases framerate
14:34:32  <drac_boy> haven't heard any kind of peep about leasing or selling them but .. I just hope SNCF isn't "dumb" we will just have to see :|
14:34:33  <NGC3982> (As they always do)
14:34:49  <Flygon> drac_boy: How big is the standard SNCF loading gauge, compared to the UK?
14:35:06  <Pinkbeast> 230: uh well 43000 and 43001 were in top condition when they did that and weren't 40 years old
14:35:08  <Flygon> Could be useful to sell the Diesels off to practically anywhere
14:35:15  <Flygon> Electric are near useless in Australia, though
14:35:16  <Pinkbeast> Bigger. Everyone's loading gauge is bigger.
14:35:19  <drac_boy> flygon its of modest UIC gauge so I have no idea about uk's tbh
14:35:36  <Flygon> Pinkbeast: Henc, why I said I'd be damned. I know the 125 reached 241km/h.
14:35:45  <Flygon> Hmm...
14:35:56  <Flygon> I'm not sure what the French loading gauge is verses Victoria
14:36:24  <drac_boy> flygon at least the BB 22200 is still used on some trains but I suspect more of them are just sitting there outdoor with no regarding tho
14:36:27  <Flygon> That, and they'd need to be 1600mm convertable...
14:36:41  <drac_boy> nothing's odd like watching a single BB22200 haul only two UIC carriages for a considerable distance tho
14:36:44  <Pinkbeast> I don't, the diesel rail record is 238 km/h (albeit set by the Class 43)
14:36:58  <Flygon> drac_boy: What IS the economic benefit of letting them rust?
14:37:00  <Pinkbeast> Anyway, back to work
14:37:12  <drac_boy> flygon good question indeed
14:37:18  <Flygon> Pinkbeast: I thought the Diesel record was set by Russia in the 1970s, around 27xkm/h?...
14:37:25  <Flygon> Then again, this IS Soviet Russia...
14:37:31  <drac_boy> at least DB isn't too bad with older locomotives, still having some of the 1xx series running around
14:37:51  <drac_boy> although I do remember reading that DB scrapped a few certain ones 1-2 years ago to avoid the issues with selling them off >_<
14:38:00  <Pinkbeast> "Claimed, but no verification from an independent witness" says Wikipedia which is probably accurate.
14:38:11  <Flygon> Ah, rightyo then
14:38:24  <Flygon> drac_boy: To be fair, many are scrapped due to underframe issues
14:38:25  <Pinkbeast> Like City of Truro and #999
14:38:27  <drac_boy> afk for a bit anyway
14:38:30  <Flygon> Or, more to the fact
14:38:39  <Flygon> Their frames wear the $#%@ out
14:38:56  <Flygon> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Spirit-of-progress-70th-anniversary-2007.jpg This facade hides a sad fate of rust eating away...
14:38:58  <Flygon> Have fun, dracco
14:39:18  <Pinkbeast> In fact #999 is claimed at 112 mph which, ha ha.
14:39:36  <Flygon> #999?
14:39:51  <Pinkbeast> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Express
14:40:15  <Flygon> 180...
14:40:16  <Flygon> ...
14:40:18  <Pinkbeast> Like City of Truro but more so, there just ain't enough boiler or grate.
14:40:22  <Flygon> Yeah, that's unbelievable
14:40:46  <Flygon> Even Australia barely ever reached that speed with Steam. Best that comes to mind is 16x in the 1930s in NSW
14:40:56  <Pinkbeast> I think you can just about make an argument for City of Truro in 1904
14:41:12  <Flygon> And 138km/h in Victoria... the driver reckon'd he'd have made 145-150km/h if there wasn't a timetable :B
14:43:34  <Flygon> Keeping in mind, he wasn't suppose to go over 80-115km/h (depending on sections of the track)
14:43:50  <Flygon> He and the fireman only did it because the speed recorder ran out of paper :p
14:44:14  <Flygon> And it was an interstate express train that took it's last load of water for the trip...
14:46:03  <Flygon> Anyway

15:45:54  <NGC3982> WardH: I'm not entirely sure, but i do not think you can actively change what industry of the two, that should handle the resource.
15:46:21  <WardH> ok, then IÂŽm gonna have to build 2 stations and place them just right :p
15:46:22  <NGC3982> Except, if you are transporting the newly created resource from the industry.

17:02:59  <peter1138> 5 bytes longer
17:03:48  <peter1138> and that... accounts for
17:03:55  <peter1138> adding "-2007" to the action 8

18:21:24  <MG> Sadly the chat messages stay forever and are covering the left lower corner of my window...is this a bug?
18:21:42  <MG> or did i forget some advanced settings?
18:22:13  <peter1138> is it paused?
18:22:40  <MG> no
18:23:14  <Eddi|zuHause> did you press the key left of 1?
18:23:32  <MG> even if it's running for two hours without any real chat, the "player connected" messages are still displayed
18:23:42  <MG> no i didn't press any key
18:23:50  <MG> not the console...
18:25:22  <frosch123> what does "setting network_chat_timeout" say in the console?
18:27:31  <MG> oh that was the solution :D
18:27:54  <frosch123> what value was it set to?
18:28:00  <MG> increased the value while dealing with connection-timeout problems some days ago

19:02:07  <Belugas> heheh
19:02:57  <frosch123> the nightly will be done before the testing build for 24903
19:03:27  <frosch123> the nightly started faster than it could trigger the test build :p

19:05:29  <peter1138> anyway, that little bug explains why my cargo triggers weren't triggering :p

19:13:49  <peter1138> more of a test
19:14:01  <peter1138> seeing as all the other grfs get the RA2 stuff wrong
19:22:11  <peter1138> hmm, should all work as the other bits are the same as for animation triggers
19:22:19  <peter1138> only need to test the PBS bit
19:22:57  <V453000> I wonder how many times will it take me to realize that it really is a bad idea to compile a new version of a newgrf when the newgrf is loaded in a running unpaused game

19:25:35  <peter1138> don't see why
19:25:49  <peter1138> unless the file is closed & reopened then it will still use the old one
19:26:19  <frosch123> do windows file system support unlinking files?
19:26:23  <peter1138> right... where is path reservation done?
19:26:31  <frosch123> or do the files remain in the directory till closure?
19:27:12  <frosch123> likely in train_cmd
19:27:38  <frosch123> maybe look for the level crossing
19:27:44  <V453000> the old one isnt there, it gets overwritten upon compile :)
19:27:47  <frosch123> it also has some trigger on reservation
19:27:53  <peter1138> V453000, windows?
19:27:56  <V453000> yes
19:28:03  <peter1138> V453000, cos that's not how it works on other OSes
19:28:09  <V453000> :D ok
19:28:20  <V453000> I usually pause teh game and reload_newgrfs, but sometimes I forget :>
19:28:32  <frosch123> pretty sure it also works like that on DOS

19:32:29  <peter1138> hm, so...
19:32:44  <peter1138> Trigger should work on the whole platform
19:33:00  <frosch123> the whole platform is reserved
19:33:07  <peter1138> yeah but tile-by-tile
19:33:23  <frosch123> only trigger it on the north tile then?
19:33:47  <frosch123> does it also trigger when a train enters a station without pbs?
19:33:54  <frosch123> by reserving the tiles under the train
19:33:56  <peter1138> i train reserves platform (using PBS)
19:34:03  <peter1138> that's all it says
19:35:02  <peter1138> i suppose i could make it a tile-only trigger
19:37:39  <frosch123> are the some random bits shared between the tiles of a platform trigger?
19:37:48  <peter1138> some are
19:37:49  <frosch123> hmm likely wouldn't matter either
19:37:52  <peter1138> probably not
19:38:08  <frosch123> but the non-pbs reservation should not trigger it then
19:38:22  <frosch123> might look weird if the platform changes following the train upon entering :p
19:40:24  <Supercheese> I dunno, people see the train and begin walking towards the point of entry as the train pulls into the station
19:40:31  <Supercheese> could make sense
19:44:05  <peter1138> cock
19:44:10  <peter1138> that code is only called for NPF :p
19:45:22  <peter1138> or seems to be the case :S
19:48:57  <peter1138> and then it only reserves the first tile. what.

21:06:29  <peter1138> oh, that's right, sorry
21:06:36  <peter1138> no triggers :D
21:06:59  <peter1138> not entirely sure if waiting triggers works
21:07:11  <peter1138> mainly because i'm not sure how it's meant to work
21:07:33  <frosch123> well, they are only stored at the station
21:07:50  <frosch123> so, if you mix parts with different triggers, it will likely not work
21:08:28  <frosch123> so, multiple triggers for stations are kind of broken by design
21:08:45  <frosch123> not as bad as triggers for the "related vehicle" though :p
21:08:53  <peter1138> i think so
21:08:59  <peter1138> it's all a bit messy
21:09:07  <frosch123> random action is totally broken :)

21:12:04  <frosch123> in ottd 0.5 trees always had 3/3 grass only

21:54:01  <frosch123> you got that the wrong way around; it's they who hate you
21:54:24  <frosch123> anyway, it's only the first tree on a tile that matters
21:54:34  <frosch123> so first bulldoze all trees in range of the town
21:54:36  <frosch123> then replant
21:54:38  <NGC3982> And that my personal inflation fuckup makes bribing impossible.

21:54:46  <NGC3982> Seriosly? It's that easy?
21:55:02  <frosch123> all game mechanics are simple if you know how to exploit them
21:55:14  <frosch123> ottd is a _hard_ game for someone who plays for the first time
21:55:40  * NGC3982 has been playing for years and still has no clue of this.
21:55:44  <NGC3982> s/has/had
21:55:57  <planetmaker> peter1138, might or might not. But is there a real need for it? I'm sure it was a concious decision
21:56:04  <frosch123> that rule applies to all games unless they are mainly affected by human opponents
21:56:09  <peter1138> well it's... incorrect!
21:56:20  <peter1138> and someone wanted a 3-cycle animation, which glitches with 0..15
21:56:37  <Supercheese> eGRVTS uses a 3-frame animation
21:56:42  <Supercheese> I was borrowing the sprites
21:56:49  <Supercheese> was/am/will
21:57:01  <NGC3982> frosch123: It only made it worse.
21:57:40  <frosch123> usually you can always get it to "good" to build a station that way
21:57:58  <NGC3982> It works at "Poor"
21:58:08  <NGC3982> I can't get it past "Very poor"
21:58:56  <Terkhen> good night
21:59:46  <Supercheese> the formula of bulldoze many trees then replant has always worked for me
22:00:03  <NGC3982> How much do you bulldoze?
22:00:10  <V453000> use magic dozer if you play with towns :) or use trees
22:00:15  <Supercheese> more than enough :P
22:00:24  <planetmaker> well, I guess we could change motion_counter to return var (0x46 & 0xFFFFFF00) >> 8. But I'd like to talk at least with yexo or Hirundo about that
22:00:29  <NGC3982> V453000: It's multiplayer.
22:00:42  <V453000> trees it is :)
22:01:01  <frosch123> start a new company, and make that one remove the trees
22:01:16  <planetmaker> I see the point that your usecase is kinda broken frequently, Supercheese - which certainly is not intended
22:01:20  <frosch123> but don't tell anyone, i told you that
22:01:28  <NGC3982> http://i.imgur.com/FSVGt.png
22:01:39  <Supercheese> bulldoze more
22:01:41  <NGC3982> frosch123: That's cheating. :P
22:01:44  <NGC3982> More? Ok..
22:01:44  <planetmaker> dirty, bad, frosch123 ;-)
22:02:07  <frosch123> NGC3982: at least a whole screen
22:02:17  <frosch123> water sucks ofc, there are no trees
22:02:17  <NGC3982> ..
22:02:21  <V453000> im going to ban frosch123 the moment he joins our server :>
22:02:35  <NGC3982> Nothing happends.
22:02:36  <V453000> k maybe not :)
22:02:58  <frosch123> i never joined your public server :)
22:03:05  <planetmaker> :D
22:03:26  <planetmaker> V453000, his method won't work... he can't make a new company on the PS :D
22:03:28  <V453000> we have more than just public server :)
22:03:47  <V453000> true pm true :)
22:03:57  <V453000> but ps usually has magic dozer when we use towns
22:03:58  <V453000> so ye

22:05:09  <NGC3982> Magic bulldozer on a multiplayer server?
22:05:35  <V453000> ever heard of cooperation? :)
22:05:51  <NGC3982> Yes, and i actually joined once
22:05:58  <NGC3982> And it was actually -your- game.
22:06:08  <V453000> :)
22:06:17  <NGC3982> "Who the hell built a bus station here?"
22:06:18  <NGC3982> :D
22:06:33  <frosch123> you got banned for building a bus station? :)
22:06:52  <NGC3982> No, not banned. I joined a co-op thinking it was somethis completely different
22:07:00  <NGC3982> They encouraged me to stay and watch, though.
22:07:23  <Supercheese> I dunno about the motion_counter thing, it seems to work fine with eGRVTS, or at least no one has yet complained
22:07:58  <NGC3982> If i remember correctly, i didnt. I was too embarrassed. :3
22:08:04  <Supercheese> the 3-frame animated horses are nice :3
22:08:11  <V453000> well there have to be -some- rules when you cooperate with others :) we have games where you can do literally anything too, though
22:08:22  <NGC3982> hehe, yeah
22:08:25  <NGC3982> Hehe*
22:08:27  <V453000> also being embarassed is wrong :) no reason
22:09:06  <Supercheese> I'd play multiplayer, but there's that pesky max-grf-limit
22:09:09  <Supercheese> :P
22:09:49  <NGC3982> My god
22:10:02  <NGC3982> I just killed the server
22:10:09  <Supercheese> really? :S
22:10:17  <V453000> not our server I hope

22:10:42  <peter1138> ah
22:10:46  <peter1138> i forgot about cargo translation
22:12:28  <peter1138> would TranslateRefitMask() in newgrf.cpp do the job?
22:12:33  <frosch123> i think so
22:12:52  <frosch123> it works after reservation phase
22:12:56  <frosch123> and stationprops are in activation
22:13:49  <peter1138> hmm
22:13:54  <peter1138> type B or type A... what
22:14:20  <frosch123> ah, yeah, just call it for grf version 7
22:14:26  <frosch123> keep it unchanged below
22:14:31  <peter1138> type B == untranslated?
22:14:34  <frosch123> yes
22:14:39  <frosch123> B is slot
22:14:48  <frosch123> A is bit (translated if ctt present)

22:16:57  <frosch123> it's basically what GetCargoTranslation does when setting the last param to 'false'
22:17:04  <frosch123> but that is actually a nop for grf version < 7
22:17:21  <frosch123> and 'false' and 'true' are the same for grf version >= 7

22:22:31  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: was that not grfv8?
22:22:46  <peter1138> "With GRF version 7 and above, the interpretation of bits changes. Instead of climate-dependent cargo slot numbers (type B), you have to set the bits of climate-independent cargo ID (type A)."
22:23:26  <Eddi|zuHause> ah well... i know nothing :p
22:23:50  <planetmaker> technically the enum misses doxygen, also when it's pretty obvious
22:24:03  <frosch123> +			TriggerStationAnimation(st, st->xy, SAT_TRAIN_LOADS); <- isn't the st->xy wrong there? isn't it a platform anim trigger as well?
22:24:09  <Eddi|zuHause> in order to understand recursion, you first need to understand recursion
22:24:45  <peter1138> frosch123, i think so as well

22:35:00  <Gruff> Any idea folks how I can get TTD to work on Windows 7.... I keep getting messages saying this system does not support full screen and then just a blank looking dos screen :(
22:35:16  <peter1138> hmm, i wonder if that blows up with overlong trains
22:35:51  <Wolf01> Gruff, try dosbox or use OpenTTD instead
22:35:52  <drac_boy> gruff you need the patch
22:36:29  <frosch123> you assume he really means ttd? :)
22:36:59  <frosch123> Gruff: try setting fullscreen_bpp to 32 in openttd.cfg
22:37:33  <peter1138> blank looking dos screen eh
22:37:53  <Gruff> ok I tried open but wouldn't know what "patch" I would need and how all that works (getting old lol)
22:38:14  <Gruff> yes Peter a blank dos screen and the annoying message :(
22:38:37  <planetmaker> Gruff, unless you try to start openttd, your issue is off-topic here :-)
22:38:59  <planetmaker> in the case of openttd, do you have like crash.log crash.dmp or so ?
22:39:51  <frosch123> who said it crashed?
22:40:00  <planetmaker> no-one :-)
22:41:03  <Gruff> I am so confused
22:42:01  <planetmaker> let's start easy: where did you get from the programme you like to start?
22:42:21  <NGC3982> When playing with breakdowns, is there any reason other then estethics, using buoy's instead of ship depots?
22:42:42  <peter1138> interesting, seems turning around an overlong train now makes it leave the platform
22:42:50  <peter1138> so it still triggers on the right tile
22:43:11  <frosch123> NGC3982: ship depots block the path for opponents
22:43:30  <NGC3982> I see.
22:43:37  <frosch123> peter1138: i think that always was the case
22:43:44  <planetmaker> or can you provide a screenshot, Gruff ?
22:43:52  <frosch123> NGC3982: also some time ago ships always left depots towards south or so
22:43:58  <NGC3982> Yes, i noticed.
22:44:08  <peter1138> frosch123, i'm sure it used to just turn the train around. and then cause crashes when v->tile wasn't a station tile

22:50:49  <peter1138> Gruff, if you get a DOS window, it sounds like you're trying to play good old original TTD
22:50:50  <planetmaker> we have no functional crystal balls
22:51:26  <glx> dos version can't run on 64 bits windows
22:51:28  <peter1138> Gruff, that isn't going to work on modern systems, so you should take a look at http://www.openttd.org/
22:51:46  <peter1138> Gruff, it's got a few more things, but i like to think the essence is still there
22:52:27  <Wolf01> "a few" :D
22:52:53  <glx> and windows version can't run without ttdpatch since at least winXP IIRC
22:53:46  <Gruff> Oh I will try that then Pete. Thanks
22:54:33  <Gruff> I've been trying to get it to work for 2 days mind.... I'm not the best on a computer but I do love the game
22:55:05  <glx> very old games on modern OS is often problematic
22:55:35  <planetmaker> that's why I asked whether you run openttd or something else... :x
22:55:46  <planetmaker> I give up. Good night
22:55:50  <Gruff> lol I wouldn't know
22:56:04  <planetmaker> who then would which programme *you* try to start?!
