00:07:14  <LordAro> i think i've only seen a non 'zuHause' once :L
00:08:27  <frosch_awake> have you seen the Eddi|zuHause2 ?

00:13:41  <Eddi|zuHause> LordAro: yeah, that's when i use another computer
00:14:04  <LordAro> planetmaker: xchat is now aligning nicks horribly :p
00:14:40  <LordAro> i fear this will stay this way until you drop off the scrollback :L
00:15:31  <planetmaker> I know :)
00:15:37  <planetmaker> just re-align it :P
00:15:46  <planetmaker> you can manually re-adjust
00:16:18  <LordAro> yeah, but then 'you' overlap with the date :L
00:17:30  <planetmaker> you'll figure out the time of that single statement from the context ;)

06:44:52  <Supercheese> problem(s)?
06:46:29  <TheStevens> probably just retardation
06:47:22  <Supercheese> err, ok...
06:50:31  <TheStevens> was encouraged to change from svn to hg because it's more useful. Did so and now my makefile is broken, despite it not changing at all.
06:51:25  <TheStevens> as I said, retardation is most likely the cause.

09:11:47  <Flygon> It'd be nice if there was a feature where I could PAY an industry to shut down
09:11:49  <Flygon> Compensation ect
09:11:56  <Phreeze> lol
09:12:02  <Flygon> I am 100% serious
09:12:13  <Phreeze> like: bribe the local green party to force shutting down industries^^
09:12:14  <planetmaker> it's called the magic bulldozer cheat
09:12:40  <Flygon> Yes, but I don't want it on the savegame record D:
09:12:53  <planetmaker> lol. Wants to cheat but not admit
09:12:54  <Phreeze> then you should wait ^^
09:13:44  <Flygon> Trying to free up room for 2 platforms...
09:14:00  <Flygon> Soooo lucky it's just 2. Roll in-Roll out Maglev
09:14:10  <Flygon> Sooo... giant balloon loop
09:15:32  <Flygon> Okay, whelp

09:17:07  <Phreeze> lol, screenshot it, show us :)
09:18:42  <Flygon> All of this
09:18:48  <Flygon> Just to build a 2 track platform...
09:18:54  <Flygon> Screenieing
09:20:00  <__ln__> should openttd contain a button for sharing stuff on e.g. Twitter?
09:20:13  <Phreeze> oh noes...

09:22:02  <Flygon> Gonna build that Maglev platform now and wait 3 years :|
09:22:05  <Flygon> 680?
09:22:07  <Flygon> Oh goodness no
09:22:12  <Flygon> 1824 atm

09:22:21  <Phreeze> where do you want to place tat maglev station ?
09:22:29  <Flygon> Where the arrow is pointed
09:22:37  <triad> huh, i hate vehicles..they need replacement
09:22:41  <Flygon> It'll be a Roll In-Roll Out platform
09:22:54  <Flygon> In a Balloon Loop fashion
09:22:58  <Phreeze> connected to your CBD East station ?
09:23:26  <Flygon> Yep
09:23:40  <Phreeze> do you use double-double tracks ? for fast and slow trains ?
09:23:53  <Flygon> Depends on the line

09:41:04  <Flygon> Building Maglevs with consistant speeds is so dificult x.x"
09:41:07  <Flygon> Huomenta!
09:44:53  <Phreeze> twitch ?
09:44:57  <Phreeze> link
09:45:19  <Phreeze> yeah diagonal bridges would be cool, but we know that it will never happen
09:46:58  <andythenorth> oh
09:47:07  <andythenorth> it must be very frustrating being fonso
09:47:58  <planetmaker> do we know that diag bridges never will happen? Strange
09:48:06  * planetmaker didn't
09:48:34  <Phreeze> probably not in the near future..
09:48:36  <andythenorth> being cdist maintainer must invove a lot of 'le sigh'
09:48:42  <Phreeze> at least they all stated it like that in the forums^^
09:48:48  <andythenorth> no, cdist shouldn't screw with the station ratings
09:48:53  <planetmaker> I fear you're right
09:48:59  <andythenorth> no, it is *not* cdist's job to place industries
09:49:03  <andythenorth> etc
09:49:31  <Phreeze> yesterday, i got an idea: is it possible (i think it's easy) to make a newgrf with additional bridges, that have 2 tracks directly, like those station-newgrfs that are forced 2-wide
09:49:39  <Flygon> I wish it was. It wouldn't put coal mines adjacent to passenger-only stations :B
09:49:51  <Phreeze> 2-wide-bridge
09:50:09  <Flygon> What'd be neat, are bridges that're only layable to a certain width
09:50:25  <Phreeze> which means ?
09:50:31  <Flygon> For example, Sydney Harbour Bridge would be around 6 railway tracks wide
09:50:43  <Phreeze> ah k. yeah could add it to that same newgrf
09:50:46  <Flygon> 2 Tram Tracks, 2 Railway Tracks, 2 Road Lanes at design
09:50:54  <planetmaker> no, that's not possible
09:50:54  <Phreeze> yep.
09:51:03  <planetmaker> currently
09:51:28  <Phreeze> is it cause of calculations of "the tile where the bridges starts and ends" ?
09:51:53  <Flygon> (all the Tram lanes got converted to Road lanes around 1960)
09:53:09  <Flygon> (I don't know if it was a dual carriageway or just standard 2 lane road at construction)

09:59:11  <planetmaker> http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action3/Railtypes#cargo-type <-- Phreeze for instance railtypes would - in principle - support diag bridges ;)
10:00:04  <Phreeze> 10 sprites if we ever include diagonal bridges.
10:00:12  <Phreeze> doesn't sound like "near future" hehe
10:00:18  <planetmaker> :)
10:00:44  <Flygon> In principle...
10:01:16  <Phreeze> Flygon from Australia ?
10:01:35  <Phreeze> another one :) we want to visit Australia next year...so i got some slaves that can give me advices ;)
10:01:47  <Flygon> My advice?
10:01:52  <Flygon> When travelling in Victoria
10:01:58  <Flygon> Always take the peak V/Lines
10:02:07  <Flygon> Discount fares because connie never checks tickets on crush load HSTs!
10:02:29  <Flygon> By the time they check half a carriage, DMU is at next station!!
10:03:15  <Flygon> Kinda wish the 2CC set had a more varied Maglev implementation
10:03:24  <Flygon> eg. the metro Maglevs
10:03:42  <Flygon> But, the real solution is for me to unlazy and to pay people to make a GRF!
10:04:00  <Phreeze> i think we will probably travel by car and plane
10:04:14  <Flygon> :(
10:04:21  <Phreeze> haha, pay someone for Newgrfs, cool idea ^^
10:04:21  <Flygon> But Victoria has an extensive rail system!
10:04:46  <planetmaker> you should give yourself the joy of travelling with either the ghan or the other one, whose name I forgot
10:04:48  <planetmaker> was quite joyful
10:04:49  <Phreeze> i think i'll ask our favorite travel office first, what's possible in like 3 weeks
10:05:05  <Phreeze> i can't afford more than 3 weeks off work :-/ only have 35 days per year
10:05:13  <planetmaker> took me 24h from Sydney to Broken Hill. But was quite worth the time
10:05:25  <Phreeze> i saw an episode about the Ghan on youtube this week :)
10:05:34  <Flygon> The Syd-Broken Hill train is 24h? O_o
10:05:35  <Phreeze> extreme railroads or so
10:05:42  <Flygon> I thought they used Prospector Railcars! O_O
10:05:52  <planetmaker> roughly. Maybe my memory serves me badly and it was less. But was over night
10:05:59  <Flygon> Oh
10:06:04  <Flygon> Right, you took a loco hauled train
10:06:13  <Phreeze> lol just googled Prospector Railcars
10:06:18  <Phreeze> these are dmus ?
10:06:25  <Phreeze> from the look
10:06:32  <Phreeze> http://www.pinterest.com/pin/450711875179375131/
10:06:58  <Phreeze> weird to see rails without catenary ^^ nonexistant in europe
10:07:12  <Phreeze> (or nearly let's say, for normal passenger traffic at least)
10:07:13  <planetmaker> uh... they exist just a few hundret metres from here
10:07:19  <planetmaker> also for passenger traffic
10:07:26  <Flygon> In Australia? We make DMUs accelerate as fast as European EMUs. Or faster :D
10:07:28  <Taede> same here
10:07:36  <Taede> though they are electrifying the line soonish
10:07:36  <Flygon> And that's not a Prospector
10:08:02  <Phreeze> our EMUs are limited in speed cause of the short distances ^^ and many curves, due to terrain
10:08:02  <Flygon> Oh, shit

10:08:20  <planetmaker> Flygon, most dmus, so I'm told, meanwhile are diesel-electric engines. Thus the diesel powers an electric motor. And then they can use the same motors :)
10:08:20  <Phreeze> that's opne ?
10:08:22  <Flygon> They're related, but not the same
10:08:37  <Flygon> planetmaker: We use Diesel-Hydralic for the fast accelerating ones here
10:08:42  <Flygon> eg. the VLocity DMUs
10:08:56  <Phreeze> what Diesel-Engine uses clutches etc and power that goes directly to the wheels ?

10:11:16  <Flygon> Ah, yes
10:11:18  <Phreeze> we mainly have these: http://www.rail.lu/im/x3/2203_teiteng_1.jpg
10:11:23  <Flygon> Older buildings here are very British and European influenced
10:11:36  <Flygon> What odd looking DD trains!

10:15:30  <Flygon> It's pretty much Metro in name only here...
10:15:30  <Phreeze> the city is mainly 2/3 plateaus, sourrounded by narrow valleys, 50meter deep
10:15:30  <Kjetil> because of all the tunnels dug out from the nearby prison ? :P

10:16:06  <Flygon> Acceleration on lots of sets is too slow, they share a fair few lines with Diesels (loco hauled trains are a bit of a... difficulty), and... it's hard to explain
10:16:15  <Flygon> Basically, inner urban areas have tight station spacing
10:16:20  <Phreeze> 2 parts are separated and connected by 2 bridges
10:16:33  *** Zuu [~Zuu@www1.sdrf.se] has joined #openttd

10:18:02  <Flygon> Man
10:18:20  <Flygon> And I thought taking only 2 and a half hours by HST to New South Whales was a kick
10:18:54  <Flygon> ...
10:18:54  <Phreeze> in 2 hours i'm in Paris
10:18:54  <Flygon> Wales
10:18:56  <Phreeze> with the TGV
10:19:02  <Flygon> A Welshman is going to punch me in the face
10:19:09  <Phreeze> we have a direct connection for some years now
10:19:11  <Flygon> Though, the VLos almost never achieve HST speeds
10:19:51  <Flygon> 200km/h is only achieved in testing (reportedly, once they tried for 220-230km/h... everything went perfectly... except that parts of the front panelling was literally being vibrated off by the engines)
10:19:58  <Phreeze> i don't think our's go over 100kmh
10:20:01  <Flygon> And 160km/h is a difficulty due to tight station spacing on a lot of lines D:
10:20:07  <Phreeze> should ask a friend, he's a loco driver
10:20:18  <Phreeze> *ours
10:20:55  <Flygon> (sooo, yeah. We have HSTs, but running them at HST speeds is a bit of a... difficulty :B)
10:21:06  <Flygon> Hmm
10:21:17  <Flygon> Is the station spacing that tight? Or just too tighter a curves?
10:21:48  <Phreeze> everything
10:21:56  <Flygon> All of the above. Gotcha.
10:22:01  <Phreeze> our main stations has 6 rails..

10:22:30  <Phreeze> rails ^^
10:23:19  <Phreeze> you can see the passenger station, and the depots to the right
10:23:24  <Flygon> Oh my goodness, just 6 through platforms O_O
10:23:28  <Phreeze> to the left are some busstatons
10:23:34  <Flygon> Here, we have... some very very long platforms
10:23:39  <Phreeze> yeah, taht's enough. as you can see, only 2 trains in it.
10:23:50  <Phreeze> our whole country has only 520000 habitants^^
10:23:54  <Flygon> Which means that while there's some very very long platforms, we actually treat them as seperate platforms by having switches at the platforms
10:24:16  <Flygon> Or: 17A and 17B platforms are on the same platform 17, but operate as otherwise phsycially seperate platforms
10:24:49  <Phreeze> a bit more to the south is a depot with that...err whatever it's called
10:24:54  <Phreeze> a turntable
10:24:56  <Phreeze> :)
10:25:38  <Phreeze> at that turntable, afailk there are small depots for old locos too
10:25:50  <Phreeze> other trains are stored outside during the night
10:26:07  <Flygon> Turntables are rarer here than they should be...
10:26:16  <Flygon> So we use balloon loops and triangles to turn locos around
10:26:21  <Phreeze> have to go now, fix the sat of my dad's....
10:26:25  <Flygon> Half the reason DMUs and EMUs have become so very popular here

11:33:16  <Flygon> Yours is outright borglike @_@
11:33:59  <planetmaker> I was actually looking for the game where 64^2 was too small to act as wood drop. We needed to create three stations to handle all wood

11:42:35  <Flygon> And even worse... actual bloody congestion at the dropoff ;_;
11:43:31  <Zuu> If you try with shorter trains, you'll gain flexibility. Eg. it makes it easier to create intersections.

11:44:35  <Flygon> A cost effective way of transporting oil across distances of over 1200 tiles
11:44:53  <Flygon> This can make gauging profit difficult though for the longer distance trains
11:45:13  <Flygon> Some years, they make up to 2 million euros
11:45:31  <Flygon> Some years, the same train'll lose 500k

14:01:49  <andythenorth> ?
14:02:38  <Pikka> I don't know. slow/underpowered vehicles early on can be a challenge for them as likes that sort of thing
14:02:47  <Pikka> and if you don't, you can just start later.

14:08:16  <Pikka> well quite
14:08:50  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: you might design it around that  "normal" people start in 1950, "masochistic" people start in 1900, and "unrealistic" people start in 2030
14:09:07  <andythenorth> kind of yes
14:09:12  <andythenorth> masochistic is 1870
14:09:19  <Eddi|zuHause> whatever :)
14:09:22  <Eddi|zuHause> horses :)
14:09:36  <andythenorth> that
14:09:46  <andythenorth> and 20mph top speed
14:09:53  <andythenorth> and low HP
14:10:01  <Eddi|zuHause> i always wanted a "generic horse set" that would provide vehicles that can be combined with any "late" road vehicle set
14:10:09  <andythenorth> normal people start in 1900 and play for 100 years
14:10:55  <Eddi|zuHause> so horses would be 1700-1900 or so
14:11:17  <Eddi|zuHause> no trucks, busses, etc.
14:11:31  <andythenorth> you get some trams in 1870
14:11:35  <andythenorth> proper trams
14:11:38  <andythenorth> but not fast
14:11:40  <V453000> 1920 start feels like standard :)
14:12:23  <andythenorth> +1
14:12:25  <andythenorth> dunno why
14:12:36  <Eddi|zuHause> ttdpatch thingie
14:12:40  <V453000> simple, many newGRFs start at that date
14:13:24  <Eddi|zuHause> TTO started 1930, TTD 1950, TTDPatch changed that to the earliest technically possible 1920
14:13:35  <V453000> :)
14:13:42  <V453000> it works well though
14:13:45  <Eddi|zuHause> then OpenTTD came along and introduced 0-based date
14:14:21  <Pikka> 1-1-1921 is actually the TTD epoch date, I believe
14:19:58  <Flygon> Wait
14:20:05  <Flygon> So we can't play before Chirst's birth? D:
14:20:06  <Flygon> B-but
14:20:15  <Flygon> I WANTED AN ACCURATE ROMAN EMPIRE SHIP SET!!!
14:20:40  <andythenorth> there should be a date ratio hack :P
14:21:26  <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: it's even worse, "real" date doesn't have a year 0.
14:21:34  <Flygon> Meaning?
14:21:42  <Eddi|zuHause> it went from -1 to 1
14:21:47  <V453000> map seed includes industry placement now?
14:21:48  <Flygon> ...
14:21:50  <Flygon> So
14:21:56  <V453000> aka map with same seed will also generate same industries?
14:21:57  <Flygon> It's possible to have a date of -1?
14:22:07  <Eddi|zuHause> so OpenTTD has an imaginary year 0 that never existed
14:22:16  <Flygon> I'm confused
14:22:32  <Flygon> Is it possible to set a BC based year, by having it be a negative value?
14:22:35  <Eddi|zuHause> no
14:22:40  <Pikka> Eddi|zuHause, well, strictly speaking, our calendar *goes* from 1BC to AD1
14:22:52  <Flygon> Fudge
14:22:56  <Pikka> it didn't *go*, since in AD1 they weren't using our calendar ;)
14:22:57  <Flygon> Damn. Blast and damn.
14:23:07  <Flygon> There'll be no 'dawn of man' set D:
14:23:23  <Eddi|zuHause> Pikka: i think the technical term is "backdated gregorian calendar"
14:23:28  <Flygon> Though, it would also need a 'logarithmic' adjustment of the year length...
14:23:36  <Flygon> eg. early years zip by fast
14:23:39  <Flygon> Like Civilization II!
14:23:39  <Eddi|zuHause> also, christ wasn't born in 1AD
14:23:47  <Flygon> 1AD's close enough
14:24:01  <Pikka> close enough for government work
14:24:03  <Flygon> It's easier to remember as Before Christ and After Death :P
14:24:11  <Eddi|zuHause> the monk who did the calculation in the 4th(?) century miscalculated by around 7 years
14:24:34  *** LSky [~LSky@5ED4B2EA.cm-7-5c.dynamic.ziggo.nl] has joined #openttd
14:24:47  <Eddi|zuHause> so christ was actually born 7 years before christ
14:25:27  <Flygon> No surprises
14:26:12  <Eddi|zuHause> christ did not DIE in 1AD either. he was a grown-up when he started spreading his theories :)
14:26:54  <Pikka> AD1
14:26:58  <Flygon> Nah, clearly our lord and saviour is part of a race of shapeshifters!
14:26:58  <Pikka> not 1AD :P
14:27:11  <Flygon> Who can age at will!
14:27:33  *** Phr [~Phrossi@189.110.231.78] has joined #openttd
14:27:52  <Eddi|zuHause> "fun fact": christ was not born as a young adult, as he is always depicted in churches :p
14:29:17  <Pikka> we should use AUC really
14:29:33  <Pikka> then we can be living in the 28th century
14:30:09  <Phr> what is in here?
14:30:33  <Pikka> a piece of string and a conker, Phr
14:30:37  <Alberth> random people, talking
14:30:53  <Alberth> sometimes, even about the OpenTTD program :)
14:30:59  <Pikka> they're not that random, Alberth
14:31:00  <Phr> then i am staying in
14:31:07  <Pikka> most of them are quite predictable
14:31:17  <Flygon> I do wonder if AD and BC difference will ever become a serious patch :B
14:31:25  *** Pereba [~UserNick@177.19.42.8] has joined #openttd
14:31:36  <Pikka> only if we can have AUC too
14:31:37  <Phr> i DARE that instead
14:31:38  <Alberth> Pikka: you expected Pereba ?
14:31:43  <Pikka> and jewish years
14:31:44  <Flygon> I honestly do think having enough sets to allow progression from the dawn of man to the post-modern world would be neat
14:31:47  <Pikka> and japanese years
14:31:50  <Alberth> or Phr, for that matter? :)
14:31:57  <Flygon> Assuming the whole "Early years are faster" trope
14:32:24  <Phr> i doubt something like that can happen in games, but in real life it DID.
14:32:38  <Phr> better go play civ 5
14:33:49  <Flygon> I'm not sure what that meant specifically
14:33:58  <Flygon> I'm an idiot, not an idiot savant
14:35:27  <Phr> BREAKING news! the news is breaking! just kidding, a Boeing 777-200ER went missing in the gulf of thailand. Vietnam teams found traces of possibly jet fuel.

14:38:17  <Phr> nothing?
14:38:48  <Pikka> doesn't look like it
14:39:05  <Phr> oh
14:41:31  <Eddi|zuHause>  <Flygon> I do wonder if AD and BC difference will ever become a serious patch :B <-- patch would be rather easy, just change the max date from 5000000 to 2500000, change the default start date, and change the date display string (plus some old savegame conversion). about 40LOC, so can be done in 1 evening :)
14:42:08  <Eddi|zuHause> Phr: if by "breaking" you mean "yesterday"?
14:42:16  <Phr> nah
14:42:28  <Phr> was 7 march
14:42:41  <Phr> still missing
14:42:48  <Eddi|zuHause> well, timezone stuff
14:42:50  <Flygon> Why not simply have it so that a date over a certain date
14:42:52  <Phr> 239 ppl in the plane
14:42:53  <Flygon> Is the BC date
14:43:02  <Flygon> And when the year rolls over the maximum value
14:43:04  <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: because that would be stupid
14:43:05  <Flygon> It goes to 0
14:43:06  <Flygon> Basiclaly
14:43:08  <Flygon> Basically*
14:43:12  <Flygon> Turn it into a signed value
14:43:14  <andythenorth> whe need trolleybuses
14:43:19  <andythenorth> -h
14:43:31  <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: the date does not overflow
14:43:53  <Eddi|zuHause> i need a car
14:43:56  <Alberth> andythenorth: not sure andy has a help option :)
14:44:06  <andythenorth> :P
14:44:06  <Phr> the passaport of 2 passengers was stolen in tailand in 2012 and 2013 and was used, so point to terrorism
14:44:08  <Flygon> Eddi: Then we need to have it so that the date can't go over a certain value
14:44:13  <Flygon> Unless the game starts at that value
14:44:21  <Flygon> In which case, it continues going up values
14:44:28  <Flygon> Until it hits a certain value and defaults to 0
14:44:30  <Phr> *thailand
14:44:32  <andythenorth> Phr: this isn't alt.discussion.news.that.is.on.every.headline.already
14:44:33  <Flygon> Thus ensuring savegame compatibility
14:44:44  <andythenorth> (sorry)
14:45:11  <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: that still means existing savegames suddenly end up in negative years, so you need savegame conversion anyway. might as well make it proper instead of hacky
14:45:30  <Phr> doing nothing now
14:46:05  <Flygon> It just occoured to me that savegame conversion happens automatically with OpenTTD anyway
14:46:09  <Flygon> Yeah. Flygon is stupid.
14:46:30  <Flygon> Sorry, way too used to dealing with other sorts of applications where hacky compatibility is often necessary
14:46:37  <Phr> epic fail i guess?

14:50:51  <andythenorth> Alberth: the 4 year old is talking in my ear about a roller coaster game

14:51:38  <Eddi|zuHause> he won't figure it out until another 4 years :p

15:42:29  <NGC3982> I don't get how to fix this.
15:43:03  <NGC3982> When track 1 is "full" (there are no available exit signals), i want to force trains to instead take track 2.
15:43:24  <NGC3982> Track 2 runs back as a loop, returning the trains to the entry signal position
15:44:42  <NGC3982> I solved it myself!
15:48:58  <frosch123> put a combo signal in the middle

17:24:46  <NGC3982> First is the entry signal, then a combo, and lastly an exit signal on both

19:06:04  <Supercheese> Hmm, haven't yet done the Fizzy Drinks -> Soft Drinks
19:06:11  <Supercheese> I should make those changes...
19:06:35  <Supercheese> seems like there were no objections
19:06:59  <Phr> fail?

19:36:58  <planetmaker> quite indeed. Especially when reading some backlog
19:37:07  <Supercheese> I'm getting bot vibes
19:37:18  <Supercheese> quick, someone administer a turing test

19:37:52  <Supercheese> heh
19:38:16  <Supercheese> I said the "T"-word
19:38:52  <Supercheese> seems to be bot-repellent :P
19:39:09  <planetmaker> bot-repellent. Can I buy that?
19:39:26  <Xaroth|Work> is that the same as bitch'b'gone spray?
19:39:44  <planetmaker> not the same. Different ingredients
19:39:47  <Supercheese> Bot-B-Gone, now with extra Captcha!
19:40:29  <planetmaker> Supercheese, and indeed I was just thinking of a clever question acting as turing test ;)
19:40:31  <Hazzard> More like craptcha amirgith?!?
19:41:16  <Supercheese> sadly, the bot bailed before you could ask it
19:41:52  <Supercheese> could always ask dorpsgek, see if an admin is on to chat-by-proxy :P

19:45:07  <andythenorth> nice timber truck http://www.flickr.com/photos/truckscenescotland/7062188597/
19:45:57  <Supercheese> It's a Man truck, but the logo is a dog...
19:46:07  <Supercheese> more like Man's Best Friend
19:47:16  <andythenorth> interesting mode of transport http://www.flickr.com/photos/truckscenescotland/7726940542/
19:47:56  <andythenorth> oops.  wrong set http://www.flickr.com/photos/truckscenescotland/7727354040/
19:49:05  <Alberth> they're both truck scenes :p
19:49:48  <andythenorth> one is definitely mostly boat
19:50:02  <Alberth> yep :)
19:50:08  <Supercheese> By pixels, surely not
19:50:16  <Supercheese> boat must be less than 10%
19:50:25  <Supercheese> whereas grass/trees are surely at least 40%
19:50:49  <Supercheese> but eh, semantics

20:48:04  <frosch123> BANDIT <- leave out everything that is not hex, and you already have 3 digits
20:48:53  * andythenorth wonders what the IH joke is
20:48:59  <Eddi|zuHause> '\BA' 'N' '\D1' 'T'?
20:48:59  <andythenorth> grfid = r"CAE"
20:49:13  <andythenorth> I left a comment that it is a joke
20:49:17  <andythenorth> but I cba to work out what :P
20:49:29  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: the joke is it begins with CA
20:49:53  <Eddi|zuHause> which is a "forbidden" ID :)
20:50:07  <planetmaker> nah, better \EA\XX or so
20:51:06  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure there is a log about this, anyway
20:51:17  <andythenorth> I bet
20:52:09  <andythenorth> hmm it will be a joke about iron or something
20:52:16  <andythenorth> not a good joke
20:59:32  <andythenorth> 10/8 road vehicles anyone? o_O

21:01:01  <planetmaker> not bandit but another?
21:10:54  <andythenorth> another
21:11:01  <andythenorth> bandit wen to jail :P
