03:15:50  <retro|cz> Did you saw TTD 2013?
03:15:52  <retro|cz> or TT
03:16:09  <Eddi|zuHause> no
03:16:30  <retro|cz> http://www.transporttycoon.com/
03:16:37  <retro|cz> looks like locomotion
03:30:36  <Japa> I got burned out from pixel art fast. Now I model. http://i.imgur.com/eLfJuFG.jpg
03:32:40  <Eddi|zuHause> nice hover train :)
03:33:05  <Eddi|zuHause> make sure you stay (roughly) within the bounding box
03:33:33  <Japa> The roof sticks out a little
03:33:43  <Japa> because otherwise the train is flat
03:34:43  <Japa> Wheels aren't on there because my boss just called begging me to come to work on my day off
03:35:41  <scshunt> Japa: wait. this is your job?
03:36:14  <Japa> No, my job is not 3d related
03:36:17  <Japa> anymore
03:36:28  <Japa> but I have to go now instead of working on it

09:33:25  * MNIM plays with latin town names.
09:33:52  <planetmaker> MNIM, not town names. The entire UI :-)
09:35:18  <MNIM> I know.
09:35:53  <MNIM> but it's why I figured there'd be someone crazy, err, enthusiastic enough to do the ui in latin, too
09:36:08  <MNIM> don't all great pieces of software have a latin version?:
09:37:25  <planetmaker> who knows? :-)
09:37:53  <Eddi|zuHause> do you know a great piece of software?
09:38:13  <Eddi|zuHause> it's easy to make assertions about members of the empty set :p
09:39:38  <__ln__> if OpenTTD was available in latin, i would only play it in latin.
09:40:00  <__ln__> at least once a native speaker has proofread it.
09:40:29  <Eddi|zuHause> see, both these sentences could easily apply to the empty set :p
09:42:55  <__ln__> "Hamaxostichus (-i, m.) est in rebus ferriviariis genus vehiculorum inter se copulatorum quae a machina vectrice in orbitis trahuntur."
09:44:31  <Eddi|zuHause> sounds more like a dinosaur
09:48:01  <planetmaker> sounds strange :-)
09:48:25  <Eddi|zuHause> i have a feeling YNM completely missed the point of the suggestion...

09:55:22  <Eddi|zuHause> forum
09:57:29  <planetmaker> he... got a forum message "My name is Daniel and I am contacting you in order to ask few questions regarding OpenTTD and bus movement. May you help me with some answers regarding the change of direction and the movement itself?". I replied with my counceling fees ;-)
09:57:30  <Eddi|zuHause> suggestion: "stations should have limited capacity of certain cargos depending on which tiles you place" - reply: "stations have unlimited capacity"
09:57:52  <planetmaker> ah, thx

14:36:14  <cyph3r> Hi. Guys please, does anyone know how to undo a terraforming limit? I've got a savegame from one multiplayer game I've played recently and I can't seem to be able to undo this. I'd like to landscape without limits :(
14:36:33  <cyph3r> I've found terraform_frame_burst (which I'm not sure what it does), but no documentation for it.
14:36:40  *** LordAro [~LordAro@host81-148-242-150.range81-148.btcentralplus.com] has joined #openttd
14:39:16  <V453000> try to type "set terraform_frame_burst" in the console
14:39:18  <V453000> without ""
14:39:22  <V453000> that will get you the current value
14:40:03  <V453000> idk if 0 will disable the thing, I think you need to set the highest value possible - trying something like 33333333333333333333 might do that
14:40:08  <V453000> I think max is like 64k
14:40:12  <planetmaker> I believe it does, yes
14:40:26  <V453000> yarr
14:40:27  <planetmaker> nah, max is like 2**32
14:40:32  <planetmaker> iirc
14:40:33  *** DanMacK_ [~439e4ff0@188.cimarosa.openttdcoop.org] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
14:40:36  <cyph3r> Well, It's 65535 which is the max. 0 does absolute ban on terraforming and supposed max value should be 1073741824
14:40:52  <V453000> ^_
14:40:55  <V453000> more or less :)
14:41:22  <V453000> I suppose it works like with other settings, if you set station_spread to 666, it results in 64 anyway
14:41:26  <V453000> so try a high number
14:41:33  <cyph3r> Yea, but when I set this value, and then write "setting terraform_frame_burst", the value is 0 :D
14:41:50  <V453000> well then if you try something like 30k, it will still work fine enough?
14:41:51  <planetmaker> there are more than the burst setting
14:42:14  <V453000> ^ that too
14:42:33  <V453000> try clear_frame_burst
14:42:33  <planetmaker> terraform_per_64k_frames = 4194304
14:42:33  <planetmaker> terraform_frame_burst = 4096
14:42:33  <planetmaker> clear_per_64k_frames = 4194304
14:42:33  <planetmaker> clear_frame_burst = 4096
14:42:33  <planetmaker> tree_per_64k_frames = 4194304
14:42:35  <planetmaker> tree_frame_burst = 4096
14:42:37  <V453000> yarr :)
14:42:38  <V453000> that :)
14:42:41  <planetmaker> is in my cfg and I believe it's default
14:42:44  <cyph3r> It needs to be something more, because event with 32 or 64K, it still lets me terraform just a little bit.
14:43:04  <V453000> then check the other values pm pasted
14:43:36  <planetmaker> burst is burst (like in short time) and per_64k_frames is the amount you're allowed in longer time
14:43:55  <planetmaker> so high burst won't help if 64k_frames is very low :-)
14:45:12  <cyph3r> Ah, that was it! Thank you SO MUCH! :]
14:45:51  <planetmaker> yw
14:49:11  <V453000> and they terraformed happily ever after, happyend :>

16:24:12  <Dozer> planetmaker I've been playing with some friends for the last couple of days, and yesterday we found some sweet as fuck mods. Got some new trains, vacuum-train, and a shitload of new industries. Now I'm just wondering, if you know the name of one of those mods, that allows stations and trains to be more than 12 squares long and wide?
16:26:24  <zooks> Dozer, it's an advanced setting in normal openttd
16:26:28  <Pinkbeast> Dozer: Isn't that just an option?
16:26:34  <Dozer> Oh, I didn't know.
16:26:40  <Dozer> I though it was a mod.
16:29:09  <Dozer> 64 is the max, no matter what? I noticed that bridge and tunnel length are greyed out, but they are already at 64 both.

21:06:15  <Supercheese> I... never knew
21:07:06  <__ln__> wtf does that word mean as such? or does some more commonly word derive from it?
21:07:29  <Supercheese> Hamaxostichus is apparently "train"
21:07:44  <glx> seems so
21:07:53  <Supercheese> seems rather more Greek than Latin
21:08:24  <__ln__> but since i don't think the Roman empire had trains, did that word mean something else back then?

21:09:17  <Supercheese> Seems derived from that city name
21:09:36  <Supercheese> "The city's name derives from ጅΌαΟα (hamaxa) meaning 'wagon',"
21:09:58  <Supercheese> my Greek guess was correct
21:10:18  <Supercheese> good old Romans, just conquer civilizations and adopt their words
21:10:48  <Supercheese> ugh, how to translate "Cola"

21:11:43  <MNIM> Supercheese: I know of not a single language that translate it, since it's (originally) a brand name...
21:11:52  <MNIM> so I wouldn't
21:11:58  <Supercheese> I thought it came from the Kola nut?
21:12:08  <Supercheese> but sure, sounds reasonable
21:12:17  <MNIM> originally it's from the coke plant.
21:12:24  <MNIM> since that's what cola originally contained.

21:44:26  <__ln__> oh yes
21:44:28  <Supercheese> rather relevant, non?
21:44:38  <Supercheese> or well, nonne
21:44:48  <Supercheese> but I always thing French even when I say that in latin

21:44:58  <__ln__> do the romans pronounce the first 'u' in Colloquium?
21:45:19  <Supercheese> I can't say, but my professor did, so I do :P
21:46:30  <__ln__> hmm, yes, i don't suppose latin really has this concept of unpronounced letters, nor letters pronounced in a completely arbitrary way.
21:46:40  <MNIM> as did my professor
21:46:49  <MNIM> original latin, anyway.
21:47:14  <MNIM> church latin (gregorian) isn't so nice
21:47:22  <Supercheese> the romans pillaged enough words from Greek that they have some silent letters
21:47:56  <Supercheese> exempla gratia http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumaticum
21:48:18  <Supercheese> exempli*
21:49:17  <Supercheese> YES, they mention Donkey Kong Country in that article

21:49:48  <MNIM> ah, right, the greek eu
21:49:49  <__ln__> indeed
21:50:06  <__ln__> yeah, the greek are in eu, still
21:50:25  <MNIM> sadly, though that was not what I was talking about >.>
21:59:54  <planetmaker> Supercheese, wrt cases, can't you in the lang file define your own cases simply?
22:00:16  <planetmaker> or why is it that you "pillage" the greek translation?
22:00:20  <Supercheese> Sure, I'm just not sure about invoking cases in string calls and the like
22:00:38  <Supercheese> It shouldn't be a problem, I just haven't gotten there yet
22:01:32  <planetmaker> if you need cases at all. E.g. German language has cases, the German translation of OpenTTD can do without any
22:02:00  <planetmaker> and instead has an additional gender: male, femal, neuter and plural ;-)
22:02:10  <Supercheese> I'd anticipate when interacting with e.g. town names that are called by {STRING}, cases may be necessary
22:02:29  <glx> yeah 3 genders for french too ;)
22:02:38  <Supercheese> or... abusing plurals?
22:02:40  <glx> (2 male)
22:02:43  <Supercheese> genders, rather?
22:03:05  <planetmaker> there's three things: plurals, genders and cases
22:03:55  <Supercheese> I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
22:04:06  <planetmaker> plurals define the flexion of the words depending on a preceeding number:
22:04:10  <planetmaker> 0 houses
22:04:11  <planetmaker> 1 house
22:04:18  <planetmaker> 1+n houses (n>1)
22:04:33  <glx> language dependant
22:04:43  <planetmaker> other languages have more than 2 forms there. and for other numbers
22:04:48  <planetmaker> https://paste.openttdcoop.org/show/2661/
22:05:00  <planetmaker> ^ currently defined plural schemes
22:05:16  <planetmaker> English is in line 1 (2 cases, special 1)
22:05:18  <Supercheese> yikes
22:05:49  <Djohaal> hmm
22:06:00  <Djohaal> is there any way of tracking the orign of a desync?
22:06:02  <Supercheese> four plural forms... whew
22:06:21  <planetmaker> yeah... we added the last one only recently for Scotish Gaelic
22:06:40  <planetmaker> like this summer somewhen
22:07:05  <planetmaker> but then: there's also five ;-) (line 6)
22:07:09  <glx> russian is fun for plural
22:07:19  <planetmaker> Russian translation has *loads* of cases
22:07:22  <Supercheese> the mind boggles
22:07:46  <MNIM> Supercheese: aren't you forgetting one?
22:07:52  <planetmaker> Supercheese, I'm actually wondering whether latin has only one or two plural forms. So easy :-)
22:07:55  <MNIM> afaik there's five
22:08:01  <planetmaker> probably like Enlish there
22:08:11  <Supercheese> Latin plurals are like English, yes
22:08:18  <planetmaker> so, that's easy :-)
22:08:22  <Supercheese> fortunately
22:08:25  <planetmaker> :-)
22:08:35  <Supercheese> hmmm, "cotton candy"
22:08:36  <MNIM> ehhhh
22:08:36  <Supercheese> :S
22:08:42  <Supercheese> ideas?
22:09:00  <MNIM> when I learned the thing, there's four genders, times two for plural, times five for cases.
22:09:07  <MNIM> might've missed a case
22:09:23  <Supercheese> I haven't mentioned cases yet
22:09:34  <planetmaker> so... gender. three. m, f, n. I don't think a "plural" gender works for latin as flexion of adjectives depends on noun gender
22:09:43  <planetmaker> so three genders
22:09:50  <MNIM> four.
22:09:56  <planetmaker> ?
22:10:01  <Supercheese> Surely only 3 genders
22:10:09  <Supercheese> unless you count indecl.
22:10:15  <planetmaker> nah
22:10:16  <MNIM> indecl.?
22:10:24  <Supercheese> undeclined
22:10:35  <Supercheese> e.g. mane
22:10:40  <Supercheese> "morning"
22:11:01  <Supercheese> it's not really worth adding as a special case
22:11:11  <planetmaker> if there's no distinction between different genders for a string simply don't make a distinction
22:11:11  <MNIM> I meant those not ending on -a, -um or -us in their base forms.
22:11:14  <MNIM> like progessor
22:11:19  <MNIM> *professor.
22:11:35  <planetmaker> professor always has a gender
22:12:02  <planetmaker> and gender is not defined by the ending. But by the word, by the actual gender
22:12:04  <glx> gender is mainly used for adjectives
22:12:08  <MNIM> yeah, it does, but in grammar it's treaded as a separate gender
22:12:13  <MNIM> *treated
22:12:15  <MNIM> dammit
22:12:27  <MNIM> it must be getting late, two spelling errors in a minute.
22:12:34  <MNIM> whoa, caught a third one on time. >.<
22:13:16  <planetmaker> anyway, 3 genders here
22:13:52  <planetmaker> and cases... tbd
22:13:53  <Markk> Hoi guise!
22:13:54  <MNIM> Or, you know.
22:14:03  <MNIM> this could all be solved very smoothly
22:14:11  <Markk> Is "Ich prÀsentiere die Hanna" a correct form?
22:14:13  <MNIM> by making latin the base language of ottd.
22:14:46  <planetmaker> how would that make anything smooth(er)?
22:14:50  <MNIM> pretty much all grammar for the more common languages (read, indo-european) has the latin equivalent.
22:15:10  <__ln__> Markk: sounds wrong to my non-native eyes.
22:15:19  <planetmaker> ok. what about Thai, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Malay, ...?
22:15:21  <Markk> __ln__: Hm, mkay.
22:15:36  <MNIM> Arabic is an indo-european language AFAIK
22:15:45  <__ln__> Markk: though depends what is it supposed to mean.
22:16:05  <planetmaker> MNIM, you still didn't specify how a change of base language would make anything easier anywhere
22:16:27  <MNIM> well, you don't need to bother finding workarounds for the lack of grammar in the base language.
22:16:55  <planetmaker> eh? You don't need to "work around". OpentTD supports you to define the grammar for your language
22:17:07  <planetmaker> but you need to define it properly
22:17:21  <MNIM> Ah, did not know that.
22:17:39  <MNIM> still, should solve the need to do so separately for each newly translated language.
22:17:42  <planetmaker> define the cases if you need them. But I'm sure you don't need vocative here
22:17:52  <Supercheese> I'm not worried about OTTD engine being unable to handle stuff, I'm worried about me getting the syntax right :P
22:17:56  <planetmaker> it would not solve that either
22:18:20  <Markk> __ln__: "I present Hanna", but the Hanna sounds a bit wierd, but I'm not sure if you should have the before a name in German.
22:18:42  <planetmaker> well :-) Russian has it all, for instance :-)
22:18:44  <planetmaker> ##gender m f n p
22:18:44  <planetmaker> ##case m f n p nom gen dat acc abl pre
22:19:15  <planetmaker> dunno why it has the genders also as cases (or whether that's something else entirely)
22:19:51  <Supercheese> I doubt I'll need all cases, but we'll see
22:19:54  <MNIM> Supercheese: ah - that's the issue of every translation :P
22:20:27  <planetmaker> yeah, probably not all needed. But maybe a few additional ones for constructs like AblAbs or aci
22:20:55  <Supercheese> accusative destinations may be nice for order lists
22:21:05  <Supercheese> we'll see :)
22:21:12  <planetmaker> :-)
22:21:33  <Supercheese> cotton candy --> "Sacchari Xylinum"?
22:21:48  <Supercheese> I'm in unknown waters here...
22:22:22  <Supercheese> wonder what it is in spanish...
22:22:31  <Supercheese> "Algodón Dulce"
22:22:33  <Supercheese> pretty close
22:22:56  <planetmaker> Sukerŝpinaĵo in esperanto
22:23:29  <MNIM> lol, that's awfully close to the dutch 'suikerspin'

22:25:16  <Supercheese> Esperantonem non loquor
22:25:41  <MNIM> you don't speak esperanto?
22:25:48  <MNIM> what a surprise :P
22:26:08  <Supercheese> It's not emphasized anywhere here
22:26:13  <Supercheese> while surprisingly, Latin still is
22:26:48  <MNIM> well, latin used to be a world language, and is a huge influence behind most current world languages.
22:27:01  <MNIM> whereas esperanto is the opposite of both
22:27:41  <MNIM> having never been a world language, and having been inspired by other world languages instead
22:28:14  <MNIM> not to mention it's an invented language, without accompanying culture or ethnic group
22:28:59  <Supercheese> I think I'll stick with "sugar cotton" for now
22:29:11  <MNIM> also, Esperanto is the prime example of this

22:41:29  <Supercheese> Hmm, "toffee"
22:41:44  <Supercheese> tough one
22:45:12  <MNIM> something along the lines of 'soft sugar', maybe?
22:45:38  <Supercheese> Well, it's caramelized sugar
22:45:46  <Supercheese> more or less anyway
22:45:57  <Supercheese> so I'm leaning towards the "caramel" part
22:46:28  <Supercheese> caramel is apparently "saccharum tostum"
