00:00:40  <Supercheese> Hmm, didn't they have armed guards?
00:01:53  <peter1138> will probably have security stepped up a bit now

00:11:14  <Eddi|zuHause> Supercheese: a "gas pistol" is usually a device that propells its projectiles by gas pressure instead of a small explosion
00:13:34  <Eddi|zuHause> i played a game on 2048x1024 with very few towns once
00:13:43  <Eddi|zuHause> on daylength 4 or 8
00:13:56  <Eddi|zuHause> i managed a line all the way through
00:14:11  <Eddi|zuHause> but probably around half the map i still never touched
00:18:26  <peter1138> hmm
00:18:33  <peter1138> how do water industries even work?

00:24:26  <Supercheese> it seems it does use powder explosives from that description, though, as opposed to a compressed air pistol

01:31:17  <peter1138> yes but i wasted time :p
01:33:34  <peter1138> also it's nasty :(
01:33:47  <Supercheese> Nasty?
01:33:57  <peter1138> yeah, docks are
01:34:10  <Supercheese> Pathfinding weirdness, yeah
01:34:34  <peter1138> for all other types, vehicles stop directly on a station tile
01:34:47  <peter1138> for ships, they stop on a water tile near the station
01:35:24  <peter1138> therefore instead of just checking that the current tile is a station tile it needs to check if the tiles adjacent to the current tile are station tiles
01:36:02  <peter1138> except then there's always 8 to check
01:36:31  <peter1138> so instead it goes through the list of docks for the target station and checks if the tile is the docking tile for that dock
01:37:39  <peter1138> that list will usually be 1 item, so in theory it's only checking 1 instead of 8 tiles
01:37:42  <peter1138> but
01:38:14  <peter1138> it needs to do that for every tile the pathfinder follows :S
01:39:59  <peter1138> possibly way to simplify it is to add a 3rd invisible dock tile at the docking point that allows ships on it
01:41:09  <peter1138> oh and every step the ship takes it has to check too :S
01:41:11  <peter1138> damn
01:42:22  <Supercheese> Ship pathfinding has always seemed ridiculous...
01:42:32  <peter1138> why?
01:42:56  <Supercheese> When you force them into areas with little room to maneuver, they tend to trigger the "ship is lost" message
01:43:07  <Supercheese> but then they magically fix themselves and are not lost
01:43:25  <peter1138> well give them room then :p
01:43:58  <Supercheese> and ships always no-clip through everything
01:44:09  <Supercheese> other ship in the way? just clip right through...

09:35:45  <V453000> sounds good to me
09:36:03  <planetmaker> less passengers by more beer is also feasible :D
09:37:27  <Rubidium> planetmaker: so how's the third track from Zevenaar towards the Ruhr area going?
09:37:39  <V453000> anything around more beer is very feasible, especially when improved by less people

11:29:25  * andythenorth tries to figure out a way to prioritise cargo for some routes
11:29:39  <andythenorth> only loading vehicles for other routes when there's surplus
11:38:10  <Alberth> I was wondering about a distributed approach
11:38:56  <Alberth> each cargo has a destination. A train asks whether it wants to travel along, and the cargo can decide "yeah, you're going in the right direction", and hop on
11:40:08  <Alberth> where the simplest form of 'right direction' is distance to the target from the current location and from the next stop of the train
11:41:01  <Alberth> that might cost virtually no cpu time at all

11:42:19  <drac_boy> hi
11:43:21  <andythenorth> Alberth: manhattan / pythag distance, or pathfinder?
11:44:27  <Alberth> in the first implementation, manhattan would be fine
11:44:59  <andythenorth> so don't bother building the link graph/
11:45:00  <andythenorth> ?
11:45:13  <Alberth> the tricky bit where I am still stuck is how to decide the cargo won't get any further, so it is time to do final cost calculations
11:45:59  <planetmaker> Alberth, but that might lead to quite bad results, depending on the topology of the network
11:46:00  <Alberth> link graph is a more advanced form of deciding 'right direction'
11:47:22  <Alberth> planetmaker: I know, but we clearly don't yet understand how to do it efficiently enough when doing it centrally, so it needs a different approach
11:48:29  <planetmaker> :-) yup, agreed
11:49:54  *** Wolf01 [~wolf01@host204-174-dynamic.52-82-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #openttd
11:50:03  <Alberth> moin Wolf01
11:50:27  <Wolf01> moin
11:52:21  <fonsinchen> Is that approach n+3 to cargo destinations?
11:52:35  <fonsinchen> I'd say distance to destination is too simple.
11:53:13  <andythenorth> I did once figure out the concept
11:53:14  <Alberth> it is, no doubt about it
11:53:22  <andythenorth> but the implementation was beyond me, even a test :P
11:53:53  <Alberth> but if you start from "we need optimal central path finding", you're never going to find a cheaper alternative
11:54:17  <andythenorth> ah
11:54:26  <andythenorth> my concept wasn't guaranteed optimal
11:54:28  <andythenorth> in any form
11:54:38  <andythenorth> it was shown that it could trivially be 'odd'
11:54:48  <andythenorth> but it was simple
11:54:58  <fonsinchen> how did it work?
11:55:37  <andythenorth> key thing was that it didn't need a source-destination-cargo triple
11:55:44  <andythenorth> just a destination-cargo pair
11:56:25  <fonsinchen> Why destination? In my experience the most common pitfall is routing each cargo packet individually
11:56:31  <fonsinchen> that is expensive.
11:56:51  <fonsinchen> Cargodist just saves general directions for each source of cargo at each intermediary hop
11:57:06  <andythenorth> idea was to work back from the destination
11:57:07  <fonsinchen> That avoids routing calculations in the game loop.
11:57:24  <andythenorth> just assign a weight to every node, in reverse, working outwards from destination
11:57:30  <andythenorth> destination gets weight 0
11:57:37  <andythenorth> each next link adds 1
11:57:53  <Alberth> ie hop-count
11:57:56  <andythenorth> when routing a packet, take any valid route to a lower-weighted node
11:58:06  <fonsinchen> what about parallel routes?
11:58:29  <Alberth> the're both valid, I guess
11:58:48  <andythenorth> both valid
11:59:04  <andythenorth> so one direct train, or a ship that goes halfway round the map (slowly) are both valid
11:59:11  <andythenorth> which is sub-optimal
11:59:13  <andythenorth> but who cares eh?
11:59:15  <andythenorth> :)
11:59:32  <andythenorth> the weightings only need recalculating when the topology changes
11:59:41  <fonsinchen> The who cares question is important.
11:59:56  <fonsinchen> Your algorithm does not take route capacities into account, either.
12:00:03  <andythenorth> no
12:00:07  <andythenorth> oh, I think I decided that the graph was made up of vehicle orders
12:00:10  <fonsinchen> So you could run tons of cargo into a bottleneck.
12:00:13  <andythenorth> yes
12:00:20  <andythenorth> so build more vehicles
12:00:38  <andythenorth> or change the route
12:01:00  <andythenorth> it's sub-optimal
12:01:17  <andythenorth> doesn't try to be optimal :)
12:01:31  <fonsinchen> Well, sometimes you want something like a couple of helicopter connections to an oil rig but you don't want everyone traversing the oilrig to get from town A to town B...
12:01:32  <andythenorth> call it StupidDispatcher
12:02:25  <fonsinchen> I know that Cargodist is fairly complex in contrast with the scheme you're proposing. But it also does more.
12:02:32  <andythenorth> another / complementary option: player defines cargo route (is that how simutrans does it?)
12:03:14  <fonsinchen> Simutrans does routing on an individual packet level. That's part of the reason why it's so slow in contrast do openttd.
12:03:33  <fonsinchen> No, the player does not manually define the routes.
12:03:41  <andythenorth> hmm
12:03:44  <fonsinchen> It's more like YACD.
12:04:11  <fonsinchen> Destinations are predetermined independent of links.
12:05:12  <andythenorth> idea: allow player to manipulate the weighting for a cargo-destination pair at a station :P

12:05:34  <Alberth> haha, a good idea for total disaster :p
12:05:52  <fonsinchen> nasty micromanagement hassle. We have the same problems with timetables. I guess we don't want to repeat that.
12:06:36  <Wolf01> agreed
12:09:54  <andythenorth> yup
12:10:59  <andythenorth> oil rig case is...intriguing
12:11:08  <andythenorth> because it's by no means the common case
12:11:28  <Wolf01> micromanagemente could be good, some people want it, but I think it should be bypassable, at least we can play OTTD also without using timetables :P
12:12:02  <andythenorth> I can't think of a way to handle special cases using generic methods
12:12:05  <fonsinchen> You can also take the example of local bus networks of two towns intersecting at some remote station where once a month a bus arrives.
12:12:32  <andythenorth> so that resolves to link capacity?
12:12:45  <andythenorth> (I think the oil rig case is best ignored, it's the helicopters that matter)
12:13:04  <Wolf01> you should be able to define some stations as hubs and don't let the cargo be transferred in non-hub stations
12:13:09  <drac_boy> Wolf01 I always play 'simple' anyway ... that mean skipping most of the extra features even schedulings too :)
12:13:13  <fonsinchen> Taking link capacity into account avoids sending too much cargo through that station.
12:13:30  <andythenorth> how is link capacity reliably calculated?  Empirically?
12:13:37  *** KritiK [~Maxim@0001264a.user.oftc.net] has joined #openttd
12:13:41  <fonsinchen> Measured as a moving average.
12:13:47  <fonsinchen> Works fairly OK.
12:13:57  <Wolf01> where "transferred" is not the transfer order but the destination handling
12:14:16  <andythenorth> fonsinchen: I can't think of any other viable method ;)
12:14:30  <fonsinchen> Cargodist does it with moving averages.
12:14:31  <andythenorth> trying to predict link capacity from vehicle speed etc is....meh
12:14:43  <fonsinchen> I can think of a better method though.
12:14:58  <andythenorth> ?
12:15:20  <fonsinchen> https://github.com/fonsinchen/openttd-cargodist/issues/5
12:15:36  <andythenorth> hrm
12:15:45  <andythenorth> do you measure cargo transported, or actual capacity available?
12:15:51  <fonsinchen> both
12:16:05  <andythenorth> and what does auto-refit do to your stats?
12:16:25  <fonsinchen> There is a funny prediction mechanism for that
12:16:51  <fonsinchen> basically, if you do autorefit it does not work so accurately.
12:16:52  <Wolf01> nice, I was looking for how a bus line capacity is calculated and I landed on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_stop#Fake_bus_stops we should really implement this :P
12:22:07  <andythenorth> herp
12:22:12  <andythenorth> my concept is screwed by auto-refit
12:22:27  <andythenorth> there's no way to calculate the cargo-destination pairs using orders
12:23:24  * andythenorth has a totally insane idea
12:23:25  <fonsinchen> Oh, you can get pretty far with orders. Cargodist actually does that when a vehicle does full load or similar.
12:23:41  <andythenorth> 'refit' stations to handle cargos
12:23:53  <andythenorth> station is either on the graph for a cargo, or not
12:24:27  <andythenorth> and vehicles are universal and auto-refit :P
12:24:42  <Terkhen> hello
12:24:44  <andythenorth> so routing is about nodes, and not the links
12:25:58  <fonsinchen> That would piss off quite a few grf authors designing specific vehicles for specific cargo ...
12:26:02  <andythenorth> currently nodes are transparent wrt cargo; the links specify what's transported :)
12:26:11  <andythenorth> fonsinchen it would turn the game on its head :P
12:26:24  <andythenorth> NUTS would be ideal for it though
12:27:01  <fonsinchen> Well, explain it Ammler and see what he says ...

13:11:38  <juanjo> peter1138: is there any way to see how you deal with multidocks? i would like to see how you manage certain details i never could get through.
13:11:59  <peter1138> hmm, which details?
13:14:24  <juanjo> opf was the worse one. oil rigs were also troublesome for my implementation.
13:14:37  <peter1138> i didn't bother for opf
13:14:42  <peter1138> it just targets the first dock built
13:16:29  <juanjo> do ships select an empty dock?
13:16:44  <peter1138> i have not implemented that
13:16:47  <peter1138> they just go to the nearest

13:19:03  <juanjo> so when they look for next destination, they choose the dock that is nearest, do they?
13:20:14  <peter1138> nope, they go the area the docks cover and find the docks from there
13:20:24  <peter1138> to be honest it's a bit magical for me :p#
13:20:46  <peter1138> i remember road vehicles used to pick a specific slot and then go to it, but that got changed at some point

13:24:03  <juanjo> so, you don't need to store a pool for docks. nice
13:24:38  <frosch123> rv still pick and reserve a specific stop
13:25:28  <frosch123> the sum of the length of rv having an reservation affects the pathfinder cost, so rv can balance between the stops
13:25:39  <frosch123> though i guess they only reserve when they are somewhat nearby
13:27:14  <juanjo> i'll have to check road vehicles then :-)

14:01:09  <andythenorth> diagonal tunnels anyone? :P
14:01:17  <andythenorth> for making tubes :P
14:01:31  <peter1138> the original version of the current version did reserve, but iirc led to some awkward situations
14:01:49  <peter1138> they reserved 16 tiles in advance
14:01:54  <peter1138> which is far for rvs
14:01:56  * FLHerne would love diagonal bridges and tunnels
14:02:09  <frosch123> ah, yeah, maybe it only considers vehicles already stopeed
14:02:46  <FLHerne> Presumably fancier bridgeheads/entrances (at least allowing diagonal track) would be needed for that?
14:03:11  <peter1138> there was an original-original version that was different again but you'd have to go back some revisions to find that

15:45:19  <V453000> is there any way how to make one vehicle introduce another?
15:45:34  <V453000> Like, I have wagons which fit to a vehicle, is it possible to unify their introduction date?
15:45:50  <V453000> because if I set the same value the game still randomizes it in the span of 2 years or whatnot
15:47:05  <peter1138> no
15:47:31  <V453000> thought so, thanks
15:58:56  <Pokka> there was some talk at one point of a flag to not randomise the vehicle's intro date
15:59:03  <Pokka> for this purpose
15:59:34  <planetmaker> rather like a flag "introduction same as ID XY"
16:00:33  <andythenorth> intro date pool
16:00:39  <V453000> would make some sense to have that I think, though not massively necessary, in my case I just have wagons arrive 2 years earlier. Does not hurt and when you see the vehicle being introduced in the news you know you can use it, so no harm anywhere

16:28:53  <Hyperion> Good evening
16:29:39  <frosch123> moin
16:31:21  <Hyperion> question from a beginner. How do I know whether I have too many vehicles picking up from a resource?
16:31:43  <Hyperion> I mean, is there an optimal way to do it?
16:32:02  <andythenorth> is there a big queue?
16:32:12  <andythenorth> big queue => too many
16:32:27  <planetmaker> Hyperion, there's too many when the entrance is jammed and vehicles wait on an empty station to pickup cargo
16:34:03  <Hyperion> What if I have 2 trucks in a loading bay, one is creeping up from 50% and the other is waiting at 0%
16:34:20  <andythenorth> sounds ok
16:35:20  <Hyperion> ok, how about the idea of supply/demand - if I have one vehicle making trips and easily filling 100% and always a stockpile at the resource, is this worse than having the situation i just mentioned?
16:35:34  <Hyperion> in terms of the production increasing over time
16:35:45  <andythenorth> get more vehicles in that case
16:35:58  <planetmaker> one vehicle loading, the other already waiting to start loading is best in terms of increasing production on primary industries
16:37:58  <Hyperion> thanks guys. is the spacing between vehicles important, then?
16:38:11  <Hyperion> in terms of where they are on the route relative to eachother
16:38:28  <planetmaker> no. It only matters that you always load cargo
16:38:57  <Hyperion> right. so the resource should always be in the vehicles debt, not the reverse?
16:39:07  <andythenorth> yes
16:39:30  <Hyperion> ok. i was worried about wasting resources by having vehicles waiting at 0%, but that seems ok
16:39:32  *** valhallasw [~valhallas@5070A0D5.static.ziggozakelijk.nl] has joined #openttd
16:39:54  <Hyperion> i mean, wasting money
16:40:31  <Eddi|zuHause> if you have not enough money, you're probably doing something wrong :)
16:40:36  <planetmaker> Hyperion, "ok" is also a very relative thing :-) Depends on your goal. You might make more money, if you do not fulfill the goal to "always load" by a thin margin
16:41:09  <planetmaker> But long-term you get higher output by always fulfilling the condition to load continuously
16:41:19  <planetmaker> so the time horizon matters
16:41:44  <planetmaker> also the amount of micro-management you want to put in:
16:42:09  <planetmaker> like buy 4 vehicles for that station. Initially it will be crowded and unneeded. But it means it takes some time before you have to come back and add more vehicles
16:42:23  <planetmaker> Time which you could better spend on improving your company elsewhere
16:42:37  <peter1138> hmm
16:42:42  <peter1138> is that what i'm meant to be doing?
16:42:45  <planetmaker> As time to build is the limiting factor at a default game after ~10 ingame years worth of playing
16:42:53  <peter1138> i just end up watching trains moving along tracks :p
16:43:00  <planetmaker> haha :-)
16:43:07  <Pokka> choo choo
16:43:20  <Hyperion> will primary resource production move up naturally or does it depend on this situation of "always load" ?
16:43:27  <Pokka> that's why you're losing, peter1138
16:43:43  <planetmaker> Hyperion, it depends on the station rating...

17:02:10  <Alberth> me: right, that's a far more specific question
17:02:20  <Pokka> getting a 3d modeler is definitely the first stage in making a game...
17:02:34  <Alberth> me: 3d modelers didn't exist at the time TTD was created
17:02:38  <planetmaker> yes. a game. But we're playing THE game here ;-)
17:02:43  <peter1138> Alberth, bet they did :p
17:02:47  <andythenorth> isn't there a wiki page about how OpenTTD was reverse engineered?

17:03:13  <andythenorth> oh no
17:03:15  <andythenorth> I see the point
17:03:20  <peter1138> ttd and rct were hand written assembly
17:03:25  <Alberth> me: Roller Coaster 2 is the TTD engine, 2 generations later
17:04:05  <peter1138> it was made ... by coding assembly instructions o_O
17:04:11  <me> andythenorth thats what im looking for. Alberth i got that one any idea of what it's called
17:04:27  <peter1138> it's called ttd

17:06:59  <peter1138> heh
17:07:06  <peter1138> anyone tried map rotation in ottd?
17:07:15  <peter1138> obviously ignoring the sprite issues
17:07:19  <planetmaker> with sprites all new, you can do that. As long as people here are like "TTD" it won't happen
17:07:35  <Ammler> planetmaker: you don't need that many new sprites, do you?
17:07:42  <peter1138> Ammler, loads
17:07:58  <Pokka> if not more
17:07:59  <planetmaker> depends. Not that many. Of the order of 1k ... 2k
17:08:18  <planetmaker> no new road/rail/bridge/landscape/vehicle sprites needed
17:08:19  <Ammler> many things you can rotate already
17:08:22  <planetmaker> only houses + industries
17:08:30  <Ammler> only non square houses
17:08:42  <planetmaker> well. All houses. Would look funky otherwise
17:08:46  <Ammler> many industries are also made with square support
17:09:03  <Ammler> you don't need to rotate a square house

17:10:20  <peter1138> planetmaker, anyway, i said ignoring the sprites
17:10:31  <Alberth> not sure whether it actually works, maybe Z didn't completely model all sides
17:10:33  <peter1138> planetmaker, i.e. actually done code changes to rotate it all
17:10:34  <planetmaker> that's a pointless pre-condition peter1138

17:51:47  * andythenorth is boondoggled
17:51:51  <andythenorth> by FIRS supplies still
17:52:43  <andythenorth> production is 1x, 2x (boost), 4x (extra boost)
17:52:48  <andythenorth> at primaries
17:53:01  <andythenorth> this leads to wild fluctuations in available cargo
17:53:15  <andythenorth> which is useful in a cargo-goal challenge
17:53:19  <andythenorth> but not otherwise
17:53:24  <planetmaker> depends on the integration time really
17:53:41  <andythenorth> if you want a nice steady game, the 2x then 4x boost is a PITA

17:54:26  <andythenorth> are very different
17:54:28  <planetmaker> like 10% increases and 10% decreases
17:54:31  <andythenorth> to playing SP for 100 years
17:55:11  <planetmaker> so not 3 levels but... 10. With like every level requiring 3 supplies more or so
17:55:15  <andythenorth> the easy way is a parameter

17:55:28  <andythenorth> when setting up an MP game
17:55:50  <planetmaker> not as parameter. As change to existing

19:00:49  <joey8> can anyone tell me why when i buy a plane with a high percentage reliability crashes within one flight
19:01:35  <planetmaker> crashes are not related to reliability. But happen any case with low chance. Or high chance, if the aircraft is large and the airport small
19:01:36  <Zuu> reliability have nothing to do with the chance of crashes
19:01:48  <planetmaker> All on the condition that aircraft crashes are not switched off in the adv. settings
19:02:30  <joey8> planetmaker➀ Oh ok thanx mate
19:02:32  <Zuu> reliability only affect the chance of the aircraft to "break down" in the air. A broken down aircraft will emit smoke and fly slower than usual but not crash.
19:03:03  <joey8> Zuu➀  oh ok thank you
19:03:13  <joey8> i am very unlucky - they keep crashing
19:03:27  <planetmaker> large planes on small airport... :-)
19:03:54  <joey8> planetmaker➀ ok thanx i will build a bigger airport
19:04:08  <planetmaker> http://wiki.openttd.org/Plane
19:04:16  <joey8> ãƒ
19:04:16  <Zuu> Isn't the chance 1 in 5 or something like that for large planes or small airport. (with original chances)
19:04:16  <planetmaker> lists small and big planes
19:04:23  <planetmaker> yes, I think so, Zuu
19:05:14  <Zuu> The other probability with a large enough airport for the plane is something like 1 in 30. IIRC
19:05:44  <planetmaker> hm... the UI doesn't tell whether an aircraft is large or small?
19:06:06  <Zuu> No, only with certain plane sets
19:06:16  <planetmaker> bad :-)
19:06:26  <Zuu> Eg. av8 have some GUI element that show this.
