03:29:01  <Pikka> but apart from that
03:45:23  <Flygon> Hyvaa huomenta Pikka!
03:45:40  <Flygon> Except it's actually 2:45PM
03:47:15  <Eddi|zuHause> and it's english only
03:47:40  <Eddi|zuHause> and you're missing an À
03:50:58  *** fjb [~frank@000158aa.user.oftc.net] has joined #openttd
03:51:04  <Pikka> 1:45, actually :) or 1:50 now.
03:51:58  <Flygon> Pikka: If you're in Brisbane, advocate to move Brissie to the NSW/Vic timezone :p
03:52:06  <Flygon> Eddi: I'm lazy and I'm on a US keyboard @_@
03:52:25  <Flygon> Everywhere I go, I upset the Finnish @_@
03:52:45  <Pikka> Flygon: people complain that their curtains will fade and cows don't have watches
03:52:45  <Flygon> I once got into an argument with a Finn over when it's acceptable to use the term 'an' over the term 'a'
03:53:11  <Flygon> Pikka: Last I checked, urban Brisbane hasn't been rural farmland since 2005
03:53:15  * Flygon runs away VERY quickly
03:53:28  <Pikka> last I checked, Queensland isn't only Brisbane. :P
03:53:31  <Flygon> Seriously though, I specifically meant Brissie and the Goldcoast
03:53:45  <Flygon> Yes, but the area most hit by the DST difference is Brisbane
03:53:53  <Flygon> Given how bloody close it is to the border
03:54:19  <Pikka> and being in a different timezone from the rest of the state isn't going to cause even more problems?
03:54:50  <Flygon> Depends on the Queenslander I speak to
03:55:11  <Flygon> Most of the ones from the Gold Coast region I spoke to are all basically "Just stuff us into NSW/Vic timezone"
03:56:27  <Pikka> but then you make a timezone border between GC and Brisbane
03:56:53  <Eddi|zuHause> you always have timezone borders somewhere...
03:57:00  <Pikka> exactly
03:57:07  <Pikka> so may as well leave it at the actual state border
03:58:04  <Flygon> Eddi: The issue here is, is that half the year, QLD shares timezones with the rest of the East coast
03:58:22  <Eddi|zuHause> ps: it's 4:58 here
03:58:40  <Flygon> Stuffing the entire QLD into DST would result in absurdly long daytimes for everyone north of Brisbane
03:59:01  <Flygon> And removing DST from NSW/Vic would be mildly annoying for Victorians
03:59:16  <Flygon> WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE OUR TRAMS FOR AN HOUR LONGER THAN USUAL D:
03:59:24  <Eddi|zuHause> your country is just too large :p
03:59:36  <Flygon> Your country is too small D:
03:59:53  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, we thought that as well, but other people had something against it :p
04:00:07  <Flygon> Ah, right
04:00:10  <Flygon> .de
04:00:15  <Flygon> Why did I think .de was Denmark
04:00:24  <Flygon> Excuse me while I go derp in the backyard

05:43:30  <andythenorth> Pikka so got any more cookies?
05:43:40  <Pikka> yes
05:43:45  <andythenorth> linky?
05:44:00  <Pikka> give me an hour or two?
05:44:07  <Pikka> if you want a grf :)
05:44:30  <andythenorth> ho ho
05:45:23  <Pikka> there's one up at the moment, but I've fixed the sprite offsets, amongst other things, since I uploaded that one, so I'll get you a fixed one. :P I want to get this vehicle I'm working on at the moment in first though.
05:48:58  <andythenorth> herp offsets
05:49:05  * andythenorth has been avoiding fixing all the offsets in IH
05:51:31  <Pikka> I made a vehicle which was just a footprint
05:51:50  <Pikka> then turned on the bounding boxes in openttd, and shifted the footprint vehicle sprite so it fit. :P

06:01:57  <Pikka> then, of course, the trick is to have drawn all your sprites to the same template, so you can use the same offsets for all of them. :P

06:21:19  <andythenorth> Pikka: also pro tip: don't tweak all your offsets, then rebuild the set to use 10/8 length, and every 'vehicle' is an articulated 3-unit vehicle with the sprites on the middle unit :P
06:21:45  <Pikka> yes, well
06:21:56  <Pikka> omit "tweak all your offsets, then" ;)
06:33:18  <andythenorth> oh dear
06:33:25  <andythenorth> I've written code that crashes python hard
06:33:29  <andythenorth> never managed that before

11:07:52  <peter1138> Er... download package... install it...
11:08:47  <peter1138> Although if you're only getting 1.1.4 then probably your distribution isn't in the list, so you may want to download the generic binaries, untar that and just run it where it is.

11:24:21  <Eddi|zuHause> did you also install xz-devel?
11:24:56  <peter1138> is that related to liblzma?

12:00:04  <adf88> Hi people
12:00:04  <adf88> I have few small patches
12:00:04  <adf88> you may be interested in
12:00:04  <adf88> they are about "diagonal" tile areas - calculating, iterating...
12:00:04  <adf88> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/roi22czmui5vieb/ZlMBnYGckK
12:00:25  *** tokai|noir [~tokai@port-92-195-31-153.dynamic.qsc.de] has joined #openttd
12:00:54  <adf88> 00-optimise-diagonal-highlight-dirty.diff
12:00:54  <adf88> I found that "diagonal" tile selection has significant impact on performance
12:00:54  <adf88> I even managed to freeze my OpenTTD for few seconds while selecting very large area
12:00:54  <adf88> the cause lies in SetSelectionTilesDirty
12:00:54  <adf88> it iterates all the tiles to call MarkTileDirtyByTile on them
12:00:56  <adf88> this is inefficient
12:00:56  <adf88> I suggest to replace this loop with a single MarkAllViewportsDirty call
12:00:58  <adf88> see the patch for details, everything is explained in comments
12:03:35  <adf88> 01-diagonal-coordinate-system.diff
12:03:35  <adf88> OpenTTD use "diagonal" coordinates in some places
12:03:35  <adf88> DiagonalTileIterator, diagonal tile selection etc.
12:03:35  <adf88> this patch formalizes this coordinate system
12:03:35  <adf88> by providing functions to convert coordinates
12:03:36  <adf88> and documenting the way they works
12:03:36  <adf88> see the patch for details
12:05:25  <adf88> ------------
12:05:25  <adf88> 02-fix-diagonal-convert-tunnelbridge.diff
12:05:25  <adf88> this fixes the FS#5866 bug
12:05:25  <adf88> in CmdConvertRail there is a test: "If both ends of tunnel/bridge are in the range, do not try to convert twice it would cause assert because of different test and exec runs"
12:05:25  <adf88> this test is performed always "orthogonally"
12:05:26  <adf88> dispite of whether the selection is actually orthogonal
12:05:26  <adf88> thus when selection is digonal, resuts are wrong
12:05:28  <adf88> the patch fixes it (using new functions from the previous patch)

14:11:29  <efess> are there any noticeable performance benefits to running 64 bit openttd over 32 bit?
14:12:57  <andythenorth> so how do I debug a python script that crashes python hard
14:13:07  <andythenorth> specifically, it crashes the error reporting...
14:15:23  <andythenorth> hmm
14:15:29  <andythenorth> adding a timeout stops it crashing hard

16:11:55  <Xaroth|Work> since py3k .items() yields a generator

16:38:50  <andythenorth> although it's too big as a project :)
16:38:57  <andythenorth> no going to happen
16:39:13  <Alberth> efess: usually there is a V = @   like rule that  you can override or change
16:39:34  <andythenorth> lo Alberth
16:39:49  <Alberth> hi hi andythenorth, planetmaker
16:39:55  <planetmaker> hihi
16:41:15  <planetmaker> andythenorth, did pikka provide more than trains (did I miss that?)
16:41:28  <andythenorth> planetmaker: no not yet
16:42:00  <efess> Alberth: I see ifdef VERBOSE in the Makefile.in file, does this mean run configure with VERBOSE=1?
16:42:05  <planetmaker> honestly I think they looked too clean still. The 8bpp stuff looks more used :)
16:42:21  <planetmaker> efess, usually make output gives slightly more feedback than just error 1
16:42:27  <planetmaker> in the lines preceeding that
16:42:38  <planetmaker> and make _V= will make it more verbose
16:42:40  <planetmaker> without reconfigure
16:43:25  <Alberth> efess:  Since it's in Makefile.in,  VERBOSE is used at "make" time
16:43:38  <efess> AH
16:44:09  <Alberth> ./configure  basically copies *.in  modifies them a bit, and outputs the files again without .in
16:44:20  <efess> planetmaker: 'make output' command doesn't do anything useful, unless I don't understand
16:44:41  <planetmaker> ehm :)
16:44:49  <planetmaker> yes
16:45:02  <planetmaker> I mean the stuff make prints on command line without any parameter given at all
16:45:15  <Alberth> what planetmaker meant is that 'make' produces more output than one line  "error 1"
16:45:16  <efess> right
16:45:20  <planetmaker> there's even in normal mode ^^
16:46:02  <planetmaker> you need to look at the last lines prior to the error. How many depends on how much parallel make you have running
16:46:17  <efess> Should only be one
16:46:22  <Alberth> the actual command-lines being executed are often very long, you want to avoid looking at them :p
16:46:32  <efess> not using the Jobs param
16:46:55  <planetmaker> so what's your actual output? (use a paste service)
16:47:04  <planetmaker> and paste the last 20 lines
16:47:09  <planetmaker> or something like that
16:47:28  <efess> Here's the last few lines
16:47:29  <efess> http://pastebin.com/aeU0LxJL
16:48:12  <planetmaker> eh... can you give the output without the verbose stuff?
16:48:16  <planetmaker> and that's only 5 lines
16:48:32  <planetmaker> and possibly give all output
16:49:01  <efess> I figure the last g++ command compiling the unix.cpp file gives the error, but I can run it fine.
16:50:38  <efess> http://pastebin.com/3ZUsryJz
16:50:46  <efess> that's entire output w/o VERBOSE

19:04:23  <LSky> ill try to ask differently :D
19:05:48  <LSky> if im generating a map which requires a 64bit version of the game, will a server thats loading this pregenerated map (scenario) and players connecting to that server require a 64bit build as well? im currently running out of memory when attempting to generate one.
19:06:06  <planetmaker> uh... map? Maps don't require anything special
19:06:18  <LSky> not actual memory, but it cant give me more memory because its 32
19:06:34  <planetmaker> A map can't be bigger than 4GByte anyway....
19:06:40  <LSky> well yeah
19:06:41  <planetmaker> @calc 2048*2048*8
19:06:41  <DorpsGek> planetmaker: 33554432
19:06:55  <planetmaker> @calc 2048*2048*8 / 1024*1024
19:06:55  <DorpsGek> planetmaker: 33554432
19:06:59  <Rubidium> according to the forum the map generation isn't really memory efficient
19:07:01  <planetmaker> @calc 2048*2048*8 / (1024*1024)
19:07:01  <DorpsGek> planetmaker: 32
19:07:12  <LSky> but doesnt generation require more memory than just loading a pregenerated map?
19:07:20  <planetmaker> yes, that it does
19:08:13  <LSky> alright, so Im hoping that if I can generate a map with a 64bit client (which i think I need because the 32bit version obviously cant allocate more/enough), I wont need this after its generated
19:08:43  <LSky> and I can just go ahead and put it on a normal server and play with a normal client
19:08:48  <Rubidium> since you're patching anyhow, you could try the patches that reduce the memory requirements
19:09:09  <LSky> oh, those are out there?
19:09:33  <Rubidium> *someone* should look at the patches fixing that issue and commit them if they're sound
19:09:59  * Rubidium fears that someone to be himself... though I'm somewhat time constraint at the moment

19:22:49  <mek42> LSky - I'm running 64 bit Linux if that helps at all
19:24:34  <LSky> Thanks, but I was planning on using the 64bit build to make a nice scenario, which is proabbly best done on my desktop
19:34:46  <planetmaker> 64bit, linux and desktop are not mutually exclusive :P
19:35:07  <LSky> right, but if you just have W7 on your desktop
19:35:15  <LSky> that complicates things
19:37:11  <frosch123> why does 64bit matter?
19:38:36  <LSky> 32bit client cant allocate enough memory
19:39:03  <LSky> at least, thats what I gather from the crash report when I do try
19:45:10  <mek42> LSky - use cygwin?

20:19:56  <andythenorth> I am not building a VM to test this :P
20:20:05  <Alberth> it sounds like a race condition of some kind

20:21:28  <andythenorth> I don't expect to have to write my own code for checking that stuff has done what it said it would do

21:13:09  <skyem123> I thought that it failed. luckily it was just unplugged. :-o <- Phew!
21:13:14  <planetmaker> you should quickly make a backup copy of the whole disk

21:18:01  <Rubidium> s/down/up/

21:19:10  <skyem123> :-p
21:19:31  * Rubidium still knows it as well, but I haven't installed it in about a decade
21:20:30  <skyem123> my windows xp disk is corrupted.
21:23:10  <Rubidium> only sad thing of Windows XP is the fragmentation one gets over time
21:23:26  <skyem123> defrag.exe
21:23:28  <Rubidium> laptop of $BOSS has over 80% fragmented files
21:23:36  <Xaroth|Work> not nearly as effective, skyem123
21:23:45  <glx> and not enough free space to defrag ?
21:23:59  <skyem123> I avoid fragmentation by not deleting anything
21:24:10  <Rubidium> deleting doesn't fragment
21:24:59  <Rubidium> glx: it has a few virtualbox instances; one is so fragmented over the disk that it never manages to find enough space to put that file (even though 70% is empty)
21:25:13  <glx> swap file in the middle of a drive is a good fragmenter
21:25:42  <skyem123> I thought it happened when the computer splits a large file up to fit into the free spaces that were created when small files were deleted.
21:25:45  <glx> worse when it has been increased on a used drive
21:25:51  <Rubidium> anyhow, now I got ultradefrag running, but it goes extremely slow (even in boot time mode)
21:25:52  * skyem123 gasps for air
21:26:18  <glx> yeah offline mode is required for the best defrag
21:26:30  <glx> else many files can't be moved
21:27:03  <Rubidium> skyem123: but your OS will only split large files when there isn't enough contiguous space, or it doesn't know the final size at the end in which case it will just splatter it all over the disk for some reason
21:27:33  <Xaroth|Work> or when it tries to write multiple things at the same time :|
21:28:57  <Rubidium> in any case, SSDs don't see as much of the performance impact of fragmentation than those old spinning bastards
21:29:18  <skyem123> SSDs are expensive
21:29:28  <glx> better not defrag a SSD
21:29:36  <Rubidium> skyem123: really?
21:29:41  <Xaroth|Work> win7 disables defrag on SSDs by default
21:29:47  <Xaroth|Work> thankfully
21:30:20  <Xaroth|Work> skyem123: that's all relative tbqfh
21:30:26  <Rubidium> I wait 5-10 minutes at least each day for the development environment and mail client to start on the laptop of $BOSS
21:30:35  <Xaroth|Work> 50 eurocent per GB is doable
21:30:37  <Rubidium> that's 1 hour a week
21:30:44  <glx> access time is "constant" on SSD (compared to classic)
21:30:49  <Xaroth|Work> Rubidium: yikes

21:34:04  <glx> no rails on the screenshot ;)
21:34:07  <planetmaker> well :P
21:34:10  <Rubidium> so if they spend 500 EUR more on the HDD, they save like five times as much
21:35:53  <Rubidium> good luck finding a reasonable SSD that is 500 EUR more expensive (reasonable as in 250-500 GiB)

21:54:43  * Rubidium can
21:55:02  <frosch123> though with hdd encryption

21:55:16  <frosch123> which is not identical ofc :p
21:55:55  <Rubidium> about time it takes for one + (amount - 1) * 5 minutes + time to stream disk over network (using ghost)
21:56:29  <frosch123> well, they installed one at a time, taking 1.5 days for each
21:56:42  <Rubidium> what OS?
21:56:45  <planetmaker> uh...
21:56:59  <frosch123> i mean, even if you cannot do the copy stuff, you should do 5 in parallel, instead of waiting for each installation to finish :p
21:57:03  <frosch123> Rubidium: win7
21:57:13  <TinoDidriksen> 1.5 days for each...wtf
21:57:34  <frosch123> installing every product by hand, following a handwritten list of things to install
21:57:39  <Rubidium> so... configure unattended install, takes maybe 1 week. Then install them all over the weekend
21:58:08  <TinoDidriksen> Or just install one and ntfsclone it to every other machine.
21:58:08  <planetmaker> can the encryption be changed after install?
21:58:20  <frosch123> nope
21:58:34  <frosch123> encryption is boot time

21:59:31  <Andreas> @ planetmaker looks better indeed
22:00:24  <TinoDidriksen> You can install them all without encryption, then enable it after the fact to get individual encryption keys.

22:56:08  <mek42> lol
22:56:48  <Andreas> lol started watching the yogscast videos on openttd, that guys are quite funny
22:57:10  <mek42> meaning my reading progress has slowed dramitically after starting to ply this game
22:57:43  <LSky> reading progress?
22:57:46  <LSky> oh
22:57:48  <LSky> the coding bit
22:58:04  *** Pulec [pulec@unaffilated.amunak.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
22:58:15  <frosch123> Andreas: it might qualify as non-content
22:58:40  <Pikka> discontent?
22:59:20  <Andreas> that videos or my remark? or both?
23:00:23  <frosch123> Pikka: youtube videos are classified in three categories. those which are watched because of their content (legit content), those which have no content but are watched nevertheless (non-content), and those which are not watched at all
23:09:14  <Rubidium> damn... the defrag is slow... it hasn't reached 2% yet
23:09:28  <mek42> !password

23:10:30  <mek42> oops
23:15:25  <Pikka> frosch123, I'm sure my videos fall somewhere between the last two.
23:17:51  <frosch123> hmm, so, do i now fix zbase?
23:18:07  <Pikka> fix it?
23:18:39  <frosch123> most recolour sprites are wrong
23:18:47  *** sla_ro|master [~sla.ro@95.76.164.39] has quit []
23:18:56  <frosch123> they use win palette indices when they should use dos
23:18:57  <luaduck> hey guys, is visual studio literally the only way to compile winx64 version of ottd?
23:19:42  <luaduck> having a problem compiling a patch using vstudio when a friend is having no issues with MinGW
23:20:26  <frosch123> what? why is there thunder outside?
23:20:41  <frosch123> it is cold... how can there be thunder?
23:21:01  <glx> there's mingw64 luaduck, but last time I tried it almost broke my mingw setup
23:21:21  <luaduck> I'm assuming official builds are done using vstudio
23:21:36  <glx> VS is the easier way for 64bit builds yes
23:21:48  <frosch123> oi, it is snowing
23:22:03  <glx> in winter ?
23:22:14  <glx> weird ;)
23:22:18  <luaduck> getting unresolved external symbol issues and not being a developer myself I have no idea at all what to look for
23:22:21  <mek42> frosch, which continent are you on?
23:22:25  <frosch123> i don't remember having ever experienced snowing with thunder
23:22:34  <frosch123> europe
23:22:50  <luaduck> we had thunder immediately followed by snow back in 06-07 iirc
23:22:50  <mek42> you've seriously never had a thunderblizzard?
23:22:52  <luaduck> (UK)
23:23:03  <frosch123> mek42: no
23:23:21  <mek42> frosch123: ok, i'll keep sending the cold air to you via the jet stream
23:23:27  <frosch123> thunder is something you have in summer or autumn
23:23:48  <glx> luaduck: patch added files ?
23:23:52  <frosch123> in winter you have howling wind
23:23:55  <frosch123> but no thunder
23:24:27  <luaduck> glx: I'll query you the patch
23:25:05  <glx> I guess you first tried to compile without patch
23:25:18  <luaduck> compiling without patch works absolutely fine
23:25:29  <mek42> i think snow thunder is higher voltage than rain lightning because the air has lower conductivity, thus a higher potential is needed; s/thunder/lightning/
23:25:36  <luaduck> and apparently compiling on mingw has no issues
23:25:42  <Rubidium> progress... defrag is 0.03% further than 15 minutes ago
23:25:54  <luaduck> but we're trying to get a x64 version for more memory
23:26:37  <Rubidium> at this staggering speed it'll only take about 5 weeks before it completes the defragmentation
23:26:52  <glx> luaduck: yeah the patch maker forgot to run projects/generate
23:27:17  <luaduck> mystery solved
23:27:42  <glx> any change in source.list require generation of project files
23:27:47  *** Midnightmyth [~quassel@93-167-84-102-static.dk.customer.tdc.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
23:27:53  <luaduck> so what's the best way to do it, copy the source to a nix box and run ./generate
23:28:04  <fjb> Moin
23:28:17  <luaduck> or can I just run generate.vps
23:28:19  <luaduck> vbs*
23:28:31  <glx> generate.vbs should work
23:28:36  <glx> (it does for me ;) )
23:28:53  *** Pulec [pulec@unaffilated.amunak.net] has joined #openttd
23:29:02  <frosch123> quak fjb
23:29:39  <fjb> Quak frosch123
23:29:47  <Rubidium> moi moi
23:29:51  <luaduck> I'll grab a fresh copy of 26275 and retry
23:30:02  <luaduck> if it works I'll award you with exactly 250 points
23:30:11  <glx> you can also "build" generate project in openttd solution
23:31:10  <luaduck> I'm getting an initial "following headers are missing in source.list and not in /src/ or vice versa on overlay.h
23:31:31  <luaduck> is that safe to ignore or is something going to catch fire
23:32:23  <frosch123> you may miss dependencies on rebuild
23:32:36  <frosch123> but if you compile only once, you may get away with it
23:32:42  <luaduck> cross your fingers
23:33:32  <glx> yes src/overlay.h is not in source.list
23:34:32  <glx> but missing .h in project files is less problematic than missing .cpp ;)
23:35:32  <glx> the rule is easy, add all new files to source.list then run generate
23:37:23  <glx> (though sometime the generate step is forgotten by non windows devs ;) )
23:37:46  <frosch123> there is a farm to remind us :)
23:38:25  <luaduck> I'm a junior sysadmin, and my worst enemy is already developers
23:38:33  <luaduck> well that's now generating code
23:38:37  <luaduck> so praise the lawd
23:38:45  <frosch123> luaduck: it also works the other way around
23:38:48  * luaduck electronically transfers 250 points to glx
23:38:51  <frosch123> we talked about that earlier :)
23:39:58  <glx> maybe generate should be added to the makefile
23:40:21  <glx> as source.list triggers a reconfigure IIRC
23:40:26  <frosch123> and squirrel wrapper generations and everything :p

23:50:22  <Andreas> frosch123, you might consider that openttd videos from yogscast non-content, but you could also consider them examples of the trouble people run into when they start playing this game
23:51:02  <Andreas> they are quite experienced gamers, yet they suck and mess up in almost every possible way
23:51:28  <frosch123> no, they are non-content. noone watches them because of ottd. they are watched because of their interaction
23:51:41  <frosch123> it's like tb's and jesses terraria series
23:51:47  <frosch123> and i watched that completely
23:52:01  <frosch123> "non-content" is not a bad thing :p
23:52:07  <Andreas> it
23:52:12  <Andreas> *uhm
23:52:42  <Andreas> that's totally true, but still, it nicely illustrates why it is a hard game to get started at
23:52:45  <LordAro> poll: tabs or spaces?
23:53:08  <frosch123> Andreas: yes, but for that you better watch other ottd videos, not those from yc
23:53:13  *** valhallasw [~valhallas@s55978e11.adsl.online.nl] has quit [Quit: leaving]
23:53:14  <glx> LordAro: where ?
23:53:33  <frosch123> LordAro: spaces are easier to understand for most people
23:53:42  <frosch123> and you can easier ban tabs entirely with precommit hooks
23:53:45  <LordAro> glx: c++ code
23:53:54  <LordAro> generally
23:54:42  <glx> tab (+ spaces for aligning if conditions)
23:55:52  <LordAro> woo, a tab supporter :)
23:56:48  <frosch123> i used to like tabs, but it is easier to use spaces than to get annoyed about people not understanding tabs :p
23:57:18  <frosch123> same as for putting * and & next to the var, or next to the type
23:58:57  <frosch123> LordAro: so, adjust for your audience :)
