09:19:54  <DorpsGek> LordAro: Don't ask to ask, just ask
09:20:44  <poopypants> well im playing it just upgrading my tracks to electric but i cant seem to buy the passenger carts anymore
09:21:00  <poopypants> it happened after i got the T.I.M
09:22:22  <Alberth> you also upgraded your depots?
09:22:31  <poopypants> what
09:22:53  <planetmaker> electric rails and non-electric rails have each their own depot
09:23:15  <planetmaker> in an un-electrified depot you can't buy trains which are running using a pantograph
09:24:14  <poopypants> in my curent depot i can buy steam deisel and electrical trains and all the other carts but passenger
09:26:59  <Alberth> you have selected a filter on cargo ?
09:27:04  <planetmaker> aye. What year is it? Do you use any NewGRFs? Can you buy and build monorail or maglev trains / engines?

09:53:34  <Alberth> or trains, if you like a challenge :)
09:53:36  <poopypants> heres my screenshot
09:53:43  <poopypants> buy menu
09:54:32  <Alberth> why are they in grey?
09:54:48  <Xaroth|Work> gray colour scheme?
09:55:16  <Alberth> there's no colour at all
09:55:30  <Xaroth|Work> the steel car has some colour
09:55:53  <Xaroth|Work> and the wood one
09:56:06  <Alberth> ok, this has no obvious problems, it seems
09:58:18  <Thurak> my trains keep crashing into each other..
09:58:26  <Xaroth|Work> use signals
09:58:39  *** sla_ro|master [~sla.ro@85.186.160.35] has quit []
09:58:45  <Alberth> don't press "ignore signal"
09:59:03  <Thurak> which signal should you use
09:59:22  <Xaroth|Work> depends on the track
09:59:39  <Alberth> path signals usually give the best results
10:00:02  <Alberth> in particular, one-way path signals :)
10:00:14  <poopypants> anyone know my problem?
10:03:10  <Thurak> ok it seems to work now
10:03:14  <Thurak> but my trains are breaking so often
10:03:33  *** montalvo [~montalvo@papc-ma276.st-andrews.ac.uk] has joined #openttd
10:04:28  <Thurak> it lost 5% reliability in the time it took to fill up at station...
10:07:13  <Xaroth|Work> get a train that has more reliability
10:07:16  <Xaroth|Work> or service them more often
10:07:19  <Alberth> if you play with breakdowns on, you have to be careful to select a train with high reliability, and have enough depots to have it serviced regularly
10:08:12  <V453000> or turn the shit off :)
10:08:28  <planetmaker> poopypants, provide a savegame. And you didn't answer all of Alberth's and my questions. Cut-out screenshots also are much less informative than those taken by ctrl+s ingame
10:08:58  <planetmaker> especially the "use of newgrf" question likely boils down to "use a sane collection of NewGRFs"
10:10:56  <Thurak> whats the setting to disable breakdowns
10:11:25  <V453000> vehicle_breakdowns
10:11:28  <planetmaker> that exact setting ^
10:11:42  <poopypants> i dont know what happened but they are back again
10:11:48  <poopypants> but thx anyway
10:11:50  <Thurak> i cant find it..
10:11:53  <planetmaker> ...
10:12:20  *** poopypants [~oftc-webi@d110-32-101-41.meb801.vic.optusnet.com.au] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
10:12:54  <planetmaker> Thurak, advanced settings. Filter them for breakdown
10:13:12  <planetmaker> in older version that's in the difficulty settings
10:13:16  <Thurak> ahh it was under servicing
10:13:45  <Thurak> apparently i was on reduced... and they broke down several times before reaching the destination after less than 5 years
10:14:16  <planetmaker> 5 years is a long service interval :-)
10:14:27  <Thurak> i left them to service automaticaly
10:14:59  <planetmaker> then you likely can improve where depots are placed
10:15:03  <Alberth> yeah, but by default it's 150 days or so
10:15:22  <planetmaker> they need be able to find them when needed.
10:15:22  <Thurak> is 150 not enough then?
10:15:26  <planetmaker> it is
10:15:31  <planetmaker> well. depends :-)
10:15:37  <Thurak> i had several depots placed along the line
10:15:49  <planetmaker> I prefer forced servicing before or after stations and putting that explicitly in the order lists
10:16:24  <V453000> they will break down anyway regardless what you do :|
10:16:25  <planetmaker> as that also makes sure that it definitely services and I know then exactly when and where
10:16:57  <planetmaker> for moderate to long distance you likely want them to service after each of the terminal stations

10:28:54  <Thurak> time scale seems a little odd.. my trains seem to take over a year to get to destination

10:35:22  <Alberth> play 512x512 ?

10:41:46  <Thurak> i think it is on that
10:41:51  <Thurak> slow trains tho
10:44:03  <Alberth> scales are not unified or so, they are chosen such that it works for the game, which means different things live in different scales
10:44:38  <Alberth> the program is a game rather than a simulation :)

10:45:26  <Alberth> says the man with very fast slugs :D
10:46:05  <V453000> I just love the discussions about time or coordinate scales in openttd
10:46:11  <V453000> makes so little sense that its funny
10:48:40  <Alberth> some people are just obsessed with reality :D
10:48:59  <V453000> exactly, funny
10:52:16  <Thurak> how do i only have 60% transported, there is always a train loading up

10:56:21  <roboboy> Just wondering, how does OpenTTD detect NewGRFs for TTDPatch savegames and scenarios?
10:57:26  *** TheMask96 [martijn@polaris.ne2000.nl] has joined #openttd
11:01:39  <Alberth> scenarios are savegames
11:01:55  <roboboy> I imagine it's done by reading one of the savegame chunks that are defined in http://projects.tt-forums.net/projects/ttdpatch/repository/revisions/2386/entry/trunk/patches/loadsave.asm
11:01:58  <roboboy> I know that
11:02:13  <Thurak> if its a savegame it wont use NewGRFs
11:02:23  <roboboy> and that is true for both TTDP and OpenTTD
11:02:54  <Alberth> yeah, it would be a chunk somewhere
11:03:33  <roboboy> I get a warning from OpenTTD that there are missing GRFs and that theyv'e been disabled. I have copied the GRF from my TTDPatch installation to my OpenTTD shared newgrf folder and activated it
11:03:35  <peter1138> So I just had a successful meeting in the office, and now I'm working from home for the rest of the afternoon.
11:03:40  <peter1138> Is it acceptable to have a beer? :p
11:04:17  <Alberth> trunk/src/saveload/newgrf_sl.cpp       would be the code
11:04:29  <roboboy> I should point out that the scenario from TTDPatch could be considered "corrupt"
11:04:59  <Alberth> activation doesn't mean anything when loading a game, it picks the newgrfs from the file
11:05:16  <roboboy> as TTDPatch also fails to display the station from the GRF when loading it
11:05:34  <roboboy> but it being activated should mean OpenTTD can find the GRF
11:05:35  <peter1138> I thought TTDPatch just had a list of NewGRFs in its config file which it always loaded.
11:05:53  <Alberth> I don't know how good the ttdpatch support is in openttd
11:05:54  <SpComb> peter1138: but is acceptable to have a beer and a game of openttd?
11:06:07  <roboboy> but it saves them to the savegame
11:06:20  <peter1138> SpComb, not sure when I last played a game of OpenTTD :(
11:06:48  <Alberth> ls -lt  ~/.openttd/save/autosave   :)

11:08:20  <Alberth> i thought you were playing 512x512?
11:08:28  <roboboy> I think I will have to look firther into TTDPatches code to fix this bug I am looking into
11:08:44  <Alberth> but I think av8 implements limited aircraft range
11:09:09  <Alberth> maybe you can disable it with a parameter (but you'd need to start a new game then)

11:42:26  <peter1138> Fat fingers.
11:47:04  <Thurak> do trains work well on short distances?
11:47:53  <peter1138> Yes. You got less profit for short distances, of course, but then that applies to all vehicles.
11:49:27  <Thurak> but planes dont seem to work very well on short distance because of landing circles
11:49:42  <Thurak> cars/trains dont have that, so i guess that makes them better options for short distances
11:52:10  <V453000> trains always work best
11:52:37  <peter1138> Even boat-trains.
11:53:05  <Thurak> trains are annoying to setup tho

12:00:57  <V453000> seriously openttd is mainly about rails
12:00:57  <Thurak> there is always a train loading, but it says im only transporting 75%
12:01:14  <peter1138> MOAR TRAINS
12:01:21  <V453000> yes because it is almost impossible to have 100% station rating in the long term
12:01:30  <V453000> see wiki.openttd.org and search for station ratings

12:04:36  <peter1138> Happens.
12:04:41  <V453000> will probably grow in the long term though

12:05:13  <peter1138> That's why we build networks.
12:05:16  <Thurak> ive got airships running passengers but airships are about to go out of date
12:05:32  <peter1138> Meh, they're pretty much a novelty item.
12:06:44  <Thurak> they are doing very well
12:08:44  <Thurak> well, the trains are making a nice profit i guess
12:10:31  <Thurak> started on 1920, its now 1950, i have £3.3million
12:10:55  <V453000> so you probably dont know how to spend the money anymore, yet you care about profit

12:12:58  <Thurak> im waiting for the next size airport to unlock
12:14:28  <planetmaker> aircraft are not the best profit makers... trains scale much better to demand
12:27:10  <Thurak> are planes still bad to use then with Av8?
12:31:51  <planetmaker> planes are bad to use with airports ;-)
12:31:58  <V453000> :D
12:32:02  <V453000> (y)
12:32:32  <planetmaker> av8 planes are not worse or better in terms of through-put than default ones. Just that you got more, got realistic names, and got range limitations
12:33:00  <V453000> the range is majorly wtf
12:33:19  <Thurak> well planes dont have infinite fuel
12:33:24  <planetmaker> well... yes. no.
12:33:41  <Thurak> but... if its got a range of 600, and you make it fly to an airfield 599 blocks away, it can circle around it for 4 hours if nessesary :P
12:33:59  <V453000> I suppose it is nice in the terms of making at least some variety in aircraft, but not being able to see some gui thing how far can my plane go, is just annoying and nothing else :| especially as autoreplacing changes these values
12:34:21  <planetmaker> such thing is usually taken into account anyway, Thurak. That *is* realistic; contrary to what you seem to assume in your joking remark ;-)
12:35:13  <Thurak> well yes, planes normally carry something like the fuel needed to get to the nearest different airport + 15mins or something like that
12:35:51  <Thurak> yeah some way to measure distance would be nice
12:36:11  <V453000> realistic discussion ftw
12:40:49  <Thurak> can you turn trees off? i find that they make building rails a bit harder as you cant see waht your doing sometimes
12:41:16  <Alberth> try 'x' and/or CTRL+x  :)
12:42:21  <Thurak> thx, that should help
12:42:40  <Alberth> although anyone playing a realistic game would refrain from such cheats ;)

13:27:44  <planetmaker> oh yes, lovely. Lovely windy, rainy. Quite autumn like :D

13:28:56  <Belugas> can't complain ;)
13:29:16  <Belugas> all the trees are turning redish, so yeah... fall is there alright
13:37:35  <Prof_Frink> It's just clouded over on the Costa del Purbeck.
13:49:26  <Thurak> why is the game doing this to me D: every time i order a large replacement, half way through a new vehicle thats much better comes out
13:52:12  <Alberth> you have a newgrf with too many vehicles :)
13:53:08  <Thurak> dont think so, ive got one for hover cars, Av8, and vacuum trains, but im miles away from getting the trains or cars
13:58:14  <planetmaker> Thurak, it's variety. Offers you choice for different situations and needs ;-)
13:58:19  <planetmaker> Not 'too many' :D
13:58:40  <Thurak> im just being unlucky with my choice of when to upgrade :P

15:04:53  <Alberth> add another engine
15:05:03  <Alberth> or use shorter trains :)
15:05:42  <Eddi|zuHause> or enable "realistic" acceleration
15:06:27  <Belugas> or flattten the mountain

15:16:38  <Pinkbeast> ... write the patch for banking engines :-/
15:17:00  <V453000> why :)
15:19:02  <Pinkbeast> ... because the occasional case where you have to double-head something for umpty billion tiles so it can make its way up one lousy hill is vexing and, depending on where you're from, unprototypical?
15:19:43  <V453000> wait what is a banking engine ._.
15:20:35  <Pinkbeast> In British steam-era usage (and maybe some other places), you stop at the bottom of a steep hill and a "banking engine" is coupled on at the back.
15:20:47  <V453000> lol
15:20:55  <Pinkbeast> The name means what it does, not what it _is_ - there were very few dedicated banking engines.
15:21:06  <V453000> why not set max_height to 1 already XD
15:21:12  <V453000> cause that is all it would do for gameplay
15:21:58  <Pinkbeast> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MR_0-10-0_Lickey_Banker is the odd case of a locomotive built to go up a particular bank
15:22:27  <Pinkbeast> Er, no, it seems clear it would have very different effects to setting max_height to 1

15:25:55  <Eddi|zuHause> banking engines are still very common in germany
15:26:28  <Eddi|zuHause> but they are not a "dedicated series" anymore
15:26:30  <V453000> germany trains are obviously in the steam age :P
15:26:35  <V453000> typically the ICEs :P
15:26:51  <Pinkbeast> Eddi|zuHause: Well, "Big Bertha"'s very much the oddball in being a dedicated banking design.
15:27:13  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, even ICEs sometimes get a banking engines, when less than half the motor units are operational
15:27:39  <Pinkbeast> Oh, there's the LNER U1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_U1) as well
15:28:09  <Eddi|zuHause> well the bavarians had http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayerische_Gt_2×4/4
15:28:20  <Pinkbeast> But Bertha's more specific to one bank inasmuch as she couldn't go around many of the corners on the rest of the railway.
15:29:12  <Eddi|zuHause> well german steep lines tend to have the sharpest corners as well
15:29:29  <Eddi|zuHause> there's very little places where you go straight up the hill :p
15:29:40  <Pinkbeast> Yes, Bertha couldn't have been used on other banks, even. :-/

15:40:03  <Thurak> whats an easy way to convert from regular to electric rails
15:40:14  <Thurak> would i just have to sell all the trains, and replace all rails
15:40:35  <Eddi|zuHause> there is a "convert" button on the right of the rail toolbar
15:41:02  <Eddi|zuHause> just drag this over your rails, and you're done
15:41:16  <Pinkbeast> Thurak: It only gets hard when converting to monorail/maglev where the existing trains can't run
15:41:17  <Thurak> oh wait, the steam/diesel trains would still run over electric wont they
15:41:17  <Eddi|zuHause> then use the autoreplace function
15:41:28  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
15:41:28  <Thurak> autoreplace?
15:41:35  <Thurak> for autoreplace do you mean for rails or the trains
15:41:48  <Eddi|zuHause> convert is for rails, replace is for trains

15:45:35  <Alberth> too easy, imho
15:46:11  <Pinkbeast> With NuRails I find the point where you have to do line-by-line upgrades is at least later
15:46:24  <Eddi|zuHause> use a track set with extreme cost progression
15:47:26  <Thurak> well i have the vacuum trains newGRF, i think it said they can go up to 4100mph
15:47:37  <Thurak> not sure what the acceleration is like tho

16:20:11  <Thurak> ok, gota work out what to do with the planes then..

17:48:00  <Thurak> well im trying to improve the coal mine atm
17:48:09  <Thurak> hopefully it will rise enough to fill this many trains eventually
17:50:42  <Pinkbeast> Sell the trains for now, use the capital elsewhere, keep an eye on "waiting cargo" to see when it improves. I suggest.
17:51:07  <Thurak> each train delivery makes me £800k
17:51:12  <Pinkbeast> But (not to be Captain Obvious) if waiting for full loads, line capacity is used up by the mine's production, not by waiting empty trains.
17:51:12  <Thurak> the trains cost less than that
17:51:41  <Pinkbeast> Thurak: I daresay, but you still can't deliver more coal than the mine produces and the excess trains are wasted.
17:51:53  <Thurak> yeah its set to full loads, and now i added more signals and improved the lines a bit, the coal mine is the bottleneck
17:52:28  <Thurak> true, but the coal output can increace
17:52:33  <Thurak> ive futureproofed it
17:52:49  <Pinkbeast> I suppose if money is semi-irrelevant...
17:53:05  <Pinkbeast> The thing to watch for is where capacity decreases and you get a backlog of trains waiting to get into the station.
17:53:40  <Thurak> ahh time to upgrade to maglev
17:55:05  <Pinkbeast> *blink* weren't you in the 50s last time we checked?

18:02:41  <Thurak> 4100 km/h trains.. maybe i should make a 2k map next
18:03:03  <Sturmi> o.O
18:03:15  <Alberth> andythenorth: doesn't look wrong, but it depends a bit on what "some_list" represents
18:03:35  <andythenorth> something I want to iterate over later, calling item.method()
18:04:09  <andythenorth> it's only going to put a reference to the object in, right?
18:04:12  <Alberth> I would expect that list to be in some more global class
18:04:18  <andythenorth> I'm not going to get stuck in some recursion?
18:04:30  <Alberth> no, it'll work fine
18:04:45  <andythenorth> I could rearchitect it to be less odd
18:04:48  <andythenorth> but that involves work
18:04:55  <andythenorth> and the only payoff is elegance :P
18:05:10  <Alberth> unless you call a method that walks over some_list recursively :)
18:05:37  <andythenorth> well self.some_list is in __init__
18:05:47  <andythenorth> so if I called __init__ in the iterator, that will go badly
18:06:03  <andythenorth> I'll refactor it iff it solves the actual problem
18:06:03  <andythenorth> :)
18:06:24  <Alberth> no, what I mean is  def f():  for x in self.some_list: x.f()
18:06:52  <andythenorth> yeah

20:53:04  <andythenorth> the code is fricking simple, but distinguishing concepts is not :P
20:54:19  * andythenorth can't even formulate a sensible question :P
20:54:39  <andythenorth> the fundamental problem is that vehicles can contain vehicles
20:54:41  <andythenorth> which is all wrong
20:54:49  <andythenorth> because then vehicles can contain vehicles which contain vehicles
20:54:52  <andythenorth> recursively

20:55:16  <andythenorth> it's stupid :P
20:55:27  <andythenorth> the problem is only that I can't think of correct terms :P
20:55:32  <andythenorth> 'consist' is already taken
20:56:02  <andythenorth> the case I need to handle is vehicles with visible articulated parts
20:56:24  <andythenorth> each visible articulated part is made up of invisible parts and visible parts
20:56:43  <andythenorth> all of these are just vehicles, except that the first vehicle is an articulated vehicle
20:56:43  <Taede> construct?
20:56:48  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that's how CETS works
20:56:49  <Taede> golem?
20:57:09  <frosch123> vehicles and sub-vehicles
20:57:12  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: do you have terminology?
20:57:27  <andythenorth> I know the spec inside out for this, but I've never dealt with this insanity before :P
20:57:30  <andythenorth> it's a non issue for RVs
20:57:33  <Eddi|zuHause> i call the invisible parts "slice"
20:57:33  <frosch123> units and sub-vehicles
20:58:12  <andythenorth> ok, so vehicles are made up of slices
20:58:42  *** valhallasw [~valhallas@5070A0D5.static.ziggozakelijk.nl] has quit [Quit: zzz]
20:58:47  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, one vehicle consists of either 1 or 3 slices (technically the code allows flexibility here, but those are the only ones used)
20:59:14  <Eddi|zuHause> then an articulated consist can have multiple vehicles (like engine and tender, or MU)
20:59:24  <andythenorth> so you use consist for that?
20:59:33  <andythenorth> even though it conflates with ottd's definition of consist?
20:59:39  <Eddi|zuHause> not entirely sure
21:00:03  <Eddi|zuHause> the code only talks about "articulated parts", never the whole unit
21:00:21  <andythenorth> ok
21:00:38  <andythenorth> and each articulated part might have capacity etc?
21:00:45  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
21:00:54  <andythenorth> and that is always on the first slice of the articulated part?
21:01:02  <andythenorth> unless it's invalid for an articulated part?
21:01:07  <Eddi|zuHause> except for weight, which the stupid specs don't allow (yet)
21:01:10  <andythenorth> in which case it goes on the leading part of the consist
21:01:31  <andythenorth> and all of this is worth it to allow 10/8 long sprites?
21:01:39  <andythenorth> we can't just patch ottd? :P
21:02:02  <andythenorth> (I know you have the turning angles case) :)
21:02:44  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: look in scripts/write_engine.py, i have there two sections "properties_slice" and "properties_master"
21:02:58  <andythenorth> got it
21:03:02  <Eddi|zuHause> "master" is only for the part that gets actual capacity, speed and stuff
21:03:13  <Eddi|zuHause> and "slice" mostly sets everything to 0, except length
21:03:24  <andythenorth> and you define master as first in list?
21:03:36  <andythenorth> looks like
21:04:01  <Eddi|zuHause> yes. looks like :)
21:04:22  <andythenorth> where's the input file in the repo?
21:04:31  <andythenorth> want to see how you define trailing vehicles with stats
21:04:32  <Eddi|zuHause> src/table/blah
21:04:56  <andythenorth> oh it's quite big :)
21:05:24  <Eddi|zuHause> use https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkXAVZqXTFQxdHM3UlpWM1hPZWpfeTlkdnZsMldjSkE&hl=de#gid=0 for better overview
21:05:30  <andythenorth> ta
21:06:15  <andythenorth> also big
21:06:34  <Eddi|zuHause> tenders etc. get "dummy" entry, which makes them never available for purchase
21:06:39  <andythenorth> yeah
21:06:56  <Eddi|zuHause> then they get stats as usual
21:07:13  <andythenorth> the tricky case I have is something like part 1 (50t) part 2 (33t) part 3 (80t)
21:07:19  <andythenorth> also each part has different lengths etc
21:07:38  <andythenorth> I need a clean interface to define that, which was not in scope for the original set design
21:07:46  <Eddi|zuHause> in "Set" column the "spec" entry controls the availability
21:09:03  <Eddi|zuHause> and the front vehicle gets an entry in the "artic" columns to decide which vehicle will be attached
21:09:39  <andythenorth> bingo
21:09:51  * andythenorth has been thinking about it all wrong
21:09:56  <andythenorth> just do this old style
21:09:59  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: like i said, weight is currently problematic, because it's completely ignored by the game
21:10:05  <andythenorth> yeah
21:10:20  <andythenorth> but that's resolvable
21:10:25  <andythenorth> I solved it for BANDIT
21:10:29  <Eddi|zuHause> i think i handle that in processing.py somewhere
21:10:39  <andythenorth> it is a total PITA though

21:16:11  <andythenorth> I won't be happy until I've understood it for myself
21:16:34  <andythenorth> traditionally I'd build articulated consists by just defining each trailing part as a vehicle
21:16:40  <andythenorth> and then building them
21:16:44  <andythenorth> but that's simply not possible here
21:16:54  <andythenorth> I have to wrap each trailing part up in some pseudo vehicle crap
21:17:14  <andythenorth> which all has to be referenced from lead part
21:17:45  <andythenorth> if articulated parts could themselves be articulated it would be trivial ;)

22:39:08  <djura-san> wow, i'm starting to like this game a lot. IT looks a little old but i'm used to this in linux world: looks old (graphics) but the internals and mechanics are mindblowing.
22:39:33  <Eddi|zuHause> there is a "score" calculated at 2050, but you can play on until the year 5000000
22:39:51  <Eddi|zuHause> (you can play on afterwards, but it won't count the years up anymore)
22:40:02  <gynter> djura-san: well it's pased on TTD

22:40:50  <djura-san> yes, i figured that much out. I like the fact that i can build minimal game and just enjoy it
22:41:28  <djura-san> 64x64 tile, no founding industries and a little money. It is just too good
22:41:52  <gynter> Yes, I like small maps too
22:43:04  <djura-san> i managed to earn 1.900.000€ with 156 rail parts. only 2 trains, no headache. Really a pleasure to play it
22:44:06  <Supercheese> While you cannot save opened windows, you can save their default size and save whether or not they are uncloseable when pressing del (or other key if you've remapped)
22:44:58  <Supercheese> the little square button deals with default sizing, while the pin/tack button deals with closeability ('stickiness')
