09:26:36  <peter1138> However, this is a problem with OpenTTD, the game, and not CanRail, the GRF. The game issues a call to CB11 and complains about it (see image) when the GRF confirms the vehicle length; but even worse, if the GRF lets the callback fail, the game will then use property 21 to (re)set the vehicle length followed by the error message.
09:26:41  <peter1138> Hmm is that so?
09:27:22  <V453000> does it mean he is changing vehicle length on the go?
09:28:46  <peter1138> That's what the error message says, but... why would you do that?
09:29:31  <peter1138> I thought by definition, if a callback fails it would use the fixed value. What else would it do? heh
09:31:06  <planetmaker> just don't feed the trolls...

09:33:34  *** Guest3610 [~George@185.43.94.91] has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
09:34:07  <peter1138> That callback isn't tested very often is it?
09:34:28  <peter1138> Like, in the depot and of course loading the game.
09:36:16  <V453000> from the image I am thinking that he does it when the vehicle reverses?
09:37:16  <peter1138> No, it's moving 88km/h
09:37:34  <V453000> hm
09:37:47  <peter1138> Or at least, the original reporter's train was.
09:37:48  <V453000> how can you tell from that? :D
09:37:55  <peter1138> http://www.tt-forums.net/download/file.php?id=179340
09:38:40  <peter1138> If it's reversing the it can probably be allowed
09:38:46  <peter1138> Dunno if it is
09:38:50  <V453000> right :D
09:38:56  <peter1138> *then
09:39:36  <V453000> what I imagined it is doing is that he has engine in front, wagon in end, engine being 7/8, wagon 8/8 or so, and when the vehicle reverses, he swaps those lengths
09:39:39  <V453000> but I have no clue tbh
09:40:05  <V453000> regardless, keeping a feature which throws errors is just dumb :)
09:41:09  <peter1138> Haha
09:41:32  <peter1138> Well, see, we could always just save all these callback responses in the savegame.
09:41:55  <peter1138> Then, in theory, it would never desync and you could change things whenever...

11:18:35  <V453000> I dont think the forum people give a single shit about yeti btw :D
11:21:40  <peter1138> Of course not, they only care about default vehicles or so called realism sets.
11:23:16  <V453000> (:
11:27:02  <LSky`> try reddit then V453000
11:27:12  <V453000> LOL
11:27:17  <LSky`> http://www.reddit.com/r/openttd/comments/2bdui4/previews_of_yeti_industry_set/
11:27:49  <V453000> nice :)
11:30:42  <LSky`> im
11:30:46  <LSky`> http://www.reddit.com/r/openttd/search?q=yeti&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=all
11:30:49  <LSky`> moar
11:32:21  <peter1138> Yeah, reddit, cos the proper forums are too hard.
11:32:25  <peter1138> reddittards
11:33:21  <V453000> too hard?
11:33:28  <V453000> rather too retarded
11:33:52  <LSky`> redditards? thanks.
11:34:32  <V453000> at least it looks like people on reddit write sensible threads and people reply to them sensibly
11:35:07  <LSky`> just have to find the right areas
11:38:38  <planetmaker> seems yeti has another fanclub over there :)
11:39:15  <V453000> quite
11:39:26  <V453000> "he cannot do a better job than he did with nuts" :D
11:39:29  <V453000> is nice to read
11:39:38  <V453000> fuckers dont know whats coming
11:40:19  <peter1138> they seem to use their own patched version of ottd
11:40:36  <LSky`> correct.
11:40:54  <V453000> cant care less what they use :D
11:41:01  <peter1138> quite
11:41:40  <peter1138> 144MB update for yeti, nice :p
11:41:51  <V453000> the next version should be smaller :)
11:42:06  <peter1138> someone(tm) should write that stuff to do the automatic x4/x2 stripping...
11:42:32  <V453000> YOU want to strip my beautiful sprites? :D boo
11:42:47  <peter1138> download the x1
11:42:52  <peter1138> then start the game up
11:42:56  <peter1138> and download the x4 in the background :p
11:43:05  <V453000> well that would be quite amazing
11:43:25  <peter1138> possible i reckon
11:43:47  <peter1138> Damn this download is slow... I wonder which mirror I got. Probably mine :p
11:44:00  <planetmaker> tehehe :)
11:44:10  <peter1138> I think I rate limited it :p
11:44:34  <peter1138> Finally the horrible noise of the 1.4 intro game has stopped -- joined the server.
11:44:56  <V453000> thanks for letting people know about YETI LSky`  :) I appreciate it
11:45:51  <LSky`> np
11:46:13  <LSky`> i figured people might not know about it otherwise
11:46:18  <planetmaker> only sad thing about the reddit servers is that they're so modified :)
11:46:26  <LSky`> not all are modified
11:46:33  <LSky`> most popular 1 isnt
11:46:47  <planetmaker> good :)
11:46:57  <peter1138> V453000, will you render 1x sprites eventually? 4x scaled down looks messy :(
11:47:10  <peter1138> (nearest neighbour is not the best)
11:47:21  <V453000> "most popular" usually means servers without newGRFs with Player people :P
11:47:29  <V453000> peter1138: yeah, or downsize them in postproduction
11:47:36  <V453000> but definitely, they even jump up and down sometimes
11:47:44  <peter1138> Yikes
11:47:46  <V453000> the downsizing done by openttd definitely isnt most fortunate
11:48:12  <peter1138> If you ensure you pad your sprites to a multiple of 4 that shouldn't happen
11:48:23  <V453000> mhm :)
11:48:28  <peter1138> It happens to standard sprites when really zoomed out, anyway.
11:48:37  <V453000> right
11:48:52  <V453000> I will see, I can either render x1, or get x1 from postproduction
11:49:00  <V453000> if postproduction does the job well enough, I will use that
11:49:22  <V453000> I think it should
11:49:28  <V453000> and it is just a few clicks to make them
11:49:39  <peter1138> Yeah, you can scale it with bilinear or cubic methods.
11:49:59  <V453000> I will try to code my masked sprites today, downsizing can come sometime afterwards :)
11:50:13  <peter1138> The trick though is to get it to keep some features sharp, else it all looks a blurry mess.
11:50:48  <LSky`> and yeah, most popular means no newgrfs, but not people called Player
11:50:54  <LSky`> theyre forced to change their name :D
11:51:11  <LSky`> theres an unmodified server with newgrfs as well, so its not like we dont offer choices =)
11:51:38  <V453000> :D
11:51:50  *** yorick [~yorick@ip51cd0513.speed.planet.nl] has joined #openttd
11:52:16  <LSky`> its just that the one without newgrfs always has the most appeal, for reasons I dont really understand
11:52:28  <LSky`> I guess its just the fact that you can join without having to download content
11:52:41  <peter1138> Oh gosh that's so hard.
11:52:44  <V453000> I do, most people are simply idiots who dont use newgrfs or cant press "download content" button :P
11:52:48  <LSky`> yep
11:52:50  <planetmaker> yeah, but that seems to be the case
11:52:50  <peter1138> When I were a lad, we had to manually download it...
11:52:53  <LSky`> thats the only explanation I can go of
11:53:10  <V453000> is is sad LSky` , but vast majority of mankind is idiots :)
11:53:20  <LSky`> eh, thats how its always been
11:53:29  <LSky`> i just try to draw some of the lesser idiots to the modified servers
11:53:33  <V453000> see, dont be surprised then :D
11:53:34  <LSky`> and that works out reasonably well
11:53:45  <V453000> what are the modified servers better at?
11:54:07  <peter1138> Excluding people.
11:54:09  <planetmaker> bugs
11:54:26  <peter1138> They include infrastructure sharing, I think?
11:54:27  <LSky`> people apparently enjoy playing in certain periods
11:54:30  <LSky`> and no
11:54:32  <planetmaker> instead of modified a nightly server would be interesting

11:54:36  <peter1138> Ah k
11:54:41  <LSky`> couldnt be updated properly
11:54:51  <LSky`> the main draw is the daylength thing
11:55:20  <LSky`> and along the way, new patches are added
11:55:33  <V453000> yeah daylength because 200 years isnt enough :D
11:55:34  <LSky`> apparently were now trying a patch where you can control the speed of trains, distance between trains, etc
11:55:36  <V453000> but mh :)
11:55:59  <LSky`> 200 is long, but its just shitty if the map has reset when you log on the next day
11:56:09  <LSky`> or if all your vehicles are severly outdated
11:56:59  <LSky`> but we manage
11:57:20  <peter1138> do you play coop or competitive?
11:57:32  <LSky`> most servers are a bit of a mix between the two
11:57:38  <LSky`> its not -really- competitive
11:57:52  <LSky`> and some people do work together, but obviously others are free to start on their own
11:57:59  <peter1138> hmm, and then there's those stupid rules about industry "ownership"
11:58:17  <LSky`> theyre not stupid if you dont play on the server

15:52:38  <ZirconiumX> Depends on the context. In the context of a calculation, you are correct. In the context of the general subject, you are not.
15:53:24  <ZirconiumX> 2^2014 - 2^2013 anyone?
15:53:41  <ZirconiumX> (In symbolic form)
16:00:26  <Eddi|zuHause> what are you trying to prove?
16:01:02  <V453000> that math is gay
16:01:46  <planetmaker> nah. Math is. And it's a nice hybrid between science and art
16:02:48  <Eddi|zuHause> maths is the highest form of philosophy
16:05:22  <planetmaker> in parts it's a subset of philosophy ;)
16:06:20  <ZirconiumX> Physics, a branch of mathematics, which is a branch of philosophy.
16:07:54  <planetmaker> not quite :)
16:07:54  <ZirconiumX> Although Randall Munroe considers it to be the other way round.
16:08:32  <Eddi|zuHause> physics is not a branch of mathematics. you get physics if you take the philosophy out of methematics, and replace it with "realism"
16:09:00  <ZirconiumX> "Methematics" <-- I'm not taking drugs, thanks.
16:09:25  <ZirconiumX> Well, be honest. Have you found the value of X yet?
16:09:30  <planetmaker> math does not experiments and needs no reality, thus it's no science.
16:10:05  <planetmaker> ZirconiumX, we know the answer but don't do your homework ;)
16:10:18  <planetmaker> and that's not math, but applied calculus :P
16:10:34  <Eddi|zuHause> i've yet to figure out what Zirconium is. i haven't bothered yet about the X
16:10:59  <ZirconiumX> Mad.
16:11:27  <ZirconiumX> Bordering on crazy.
16:11:32  <Eddi|zuHause> that i probably am, but nobody has proven it in a court of law yet.
16:11:59  <ZirconiumX> Yet. I'll see you in court :p
16:12:19  <planetmaker> you can be crazy as you like. Unless you're also dangerous, a court won't mind :)

16:20:04  <ZirconiumX> "A scone is a single-serving cake or quick bread." - Wikipedia
16:20:34  <ZirconiumX> Someone needs to add a function to DorpsGek to return the first sentence of a wikipedia article. Closed source :(
16:20:50  <LordAro> supybot isn't closed source, is it?
16:20:55  <planetmaker> dorpsgek is open source
16:21:07  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, without actually knowing what it is, and that sentence not really helping either, i'd pronounce it "[sko:n]"
16:21:29  <LordAro> Eddi|zuHause, the correct way to pronounce it :p
16:22:01  <LordAro> http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2013/03/how-do-you-say-scone/
16:22:06  <ZirconiumX> sCON (rhymes with gone) vs sCONE (rhymes with cone)
16:22:30  <Eddi|zuHause> the : means to make the o longer
16:23:17  <Eddi|zuHause> your explanation makes a lot of assumptions about english phonetics, which i probably misinterpret. but i'd go with the second one
16:23:21  <ZirconiumX> I have never seen that kind of stuff before. I'm only a teenager :)
16:24:09  <planetmaker> school should have taught you by teenage age
16:24:32  <ZirconiumX> Eddi|zuHause: Don't worry, there's a girl in my year with the name Elyss?" (e with accent, if your terminal is broke)
16:24:52  <planetmaker> there's like 4 accents at least
16:25:15  <ZirconiumX> e acute
16:25:21  <LordAro> ZirconiumX, nah, your unicode is broken
16:25:26  <planetmaker> É È Ê and others my keyboard doesn't have easily
16:25:37  <LordAro> é
16:25:49  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: that looks horribly misspelled
16:26:02  <ZirconiumX> The power of an ASCII terminal
16:26:12  <planetmaker> it's surprising as to what passes as name, Eddi|zuHause :)
16:26:38  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: the french word is spelled Elysée
16:26:40  <ZirconiumX> Eddi|zuHause: something stupid like French pronunciation, Italian spelling. Elise would be the English version
16:27:01  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, that's the name of a building. Not a girl's name
16:27:02  <LordAro> http://boingboing.net/2008/02/20/swedish-couple-fined.html
16:27:06  <Eddi|zuHause> (as in Champs Elysées)
16:27:40  <planetmaker> (or that road :) )
16:28:03  <ZirconiumX> I've had lots of fun asking people who are non native English speakers to pronounce her name, but I spoilt it in this occasion.
16:29:53  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: no, it's an actual word, means something like "happiness"
16:30:12  <ZirconiumX> Just seen a facebook post of Windows 8.1 on floppy disks. Only 3,711 of them.
16:30:31  <Eddi|zuHause> so the "champs elysees" would mean something like "the fields of happiness"
16:31:13  <ZirconiumX> Elyse? Krystyna Lee. She hates her parents for giving her that name.
16:31:50  <Eddi|zuHause> as always happens when parents try to be too creative with names
16:32:08  <Eddi|zuHause> i've met a girl named "Schakeline"
16:32:15  <planetmaker> urgs
16:33:16  <Eddi|zuHause> (awful mispronunciation and misspelling of "Jaqueline")
16:33:29  <planetmaker> but Élysée is in my book only a name but not a word. Elisia or something as equivalent
16:34:02  <ZirconiumX> planetmaker: Elise?
16:34:15  <planetmaker> that's another version
16:34:20  <ZirconiumX> Or possibly Elisha.
16:34:47  <planetmaker> Geisha :P
16:35:02  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysion
16:35:44  <planetmaker> yes, but  there's no such word in french as derived from that
16:36:21  <Eddi|zuHause> it might not be in common use, but that's definitely what the building and the road name is derived from
16:36:39  <planetmaker> yes, that most likely

16:38:05  <planetmaker> It's the first two lines of the European anthem

16:44:09  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, even in your young years you must have heard of that :po
16:46:05  <ZirconiumX> Yup. Even played it.
16:46:22  <ZirconiumX> Though never actually read the poem.
16:54:44  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm fairly sure we had to sing the song in school
16:55:25  <planetmaker> seems to be common, yes
16:57:17  <Eddi|zuHause> i don't get politics. they say "besides some questionable twitter posts, we found no evidence of russian involvement", and in the next breath they say "we need to increase sanctions because putin shows no interest in solving this"
16:58:03  <Eddi|zuHause> it's like "we don't care about evidence. we set up our agenda ages ago, and we want to follow through at all costs"
16:58:16  <planetmaker> It's a different 'this'
16:59:35  <Eddi|zuHause> no, it's not. "this" in both cases refers to the MH17 crash
17:00:47  <pthagnar> is it a different "they"
17:01:19  <Eddi|zuHause> possibly, but it's not far off
17:02:32  <Eddi|zuHause> Obama: "we need more sanctions", EU: "hold on there for a minute", Merkel: "we need more sanctions"...
17:02:45  <Eddi|zuHause> it's like they're playing a game completely removed from reality
17:04:07  <Rubidium> it's all the most appealing reaction for the respective entities
17:05:14  <Eddi|zuHause> it's like they made up their minds about putin being the ultimate evil in the world, then they provoke him, but he doesn't respond in the way they expected, so they must speak louder in order to make their belief more convincing
17:05:52  <Rubidium> if it's the American republicans they'd probably bomb Moscow (except that if they would be in power they wouldn't actually do it, but Obama not doing it makes him look like a wimp)
17:06:43  <Rubidium> although the question is also: is this what they actually said, or is it what the "journalists" said they said
17:07:02  <planetmaker> good question :)
17:07:06  <Rubidium> because journalists and the so-called "experts" are spewing out loads and loads of non-sense
17:07:14  <ZirconiumX> Even the Russian ones
17:07:49  <Rubidium> (instead of saying they don't know)
17:07:54  <Eddi|zuHause> it's like when Kerry said from halfway around the world: "they are disrespecting the dead", and when the austrian news phone to their correspondent at the site he replies "wtf is kerry talking about? disrespectful would have been leaving the bodies out there in 30°C heat"
17:08:47  <ZirconiumX> http://english.pravda.ru/news/hotspots/21-07-2014/128114-ukraine_boeing_russia-0/
17:10:31  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: that may very well be a "we fly here and take these civilians as cover" maneuver, and the rebels wanted to actually hit the wrong plane
17:11:27  <Eddi|zuHause> but neither side can be regarded as a reliable source of information
17:11:43  <Eddi|zuHause> the news is so full of propaganda...
17:13:00  <Eddi|zuHause> add to that the weird case of sanctions actually being bad for german economical interests
17:13:14  <ZirconiumX> There may be plenty of free presses, but very few neutral ones.
17:13:37  <ZirconiumX> The Russian sanctions will hit the City of London badly, but Cameron insists they must be done.
17:14:44  <planetmaker> UK and Germany will be fine off... other EU member states have their energy supply depend on Russia
17:14:54  <planetmaker> for certain definitions of 'fine'
17:15:45  <ZirconiumX> http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/21-07-2014/128101-sanctions_airliners-0/
17:16:15  <ZirconiumX> If they consider Putin to be being soft, then what are things going to be like when he's being hard
17:16:30  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: but again with the hypocracy, england approved shipping of military equipment to russia
17:17:01  <Eddi|zuHause> like i said, i don't get politics
17:17:10  <Rubidium> IMHO the biggest bit of evidence against the Russian news report of trying to hit that supposedly near Ukranian fighter jet is the retracted social media message by the "rebels" claiming they shot down a military transport
17:17:22  <ZirconiumX> Unfortunately, the UK is an indirect democracy.
17:17:35  <ZirconiumX> Wonder what the results would be for a direct democracy.
17:17:45  <Eddi|zuHause> as if that ever stopped anybody
17:18:03  <Eddi|zuHause> like i said yesterday: "nobody of power ever listened to votes"
17:18:45  <Eddi|zuHause> either they're ignoring the vote completely, or they're shaping the vote so the outcome is what they wanted it to be in the first place
17:19:03  <Rubidium> but as almost all tragedies, it's a combination of greed and incompetence
17:19:55  <ZirconiumX> I think both sides have gotten to the point of tit for tat, personally.
17:20:16  <ZirconiumX> And there could well be another cold war if nothing is done about it.
17:20:53  <planetmaker> so... what do you do about it? :)
17:21:15  <ZirconiumX> Don't believe me? http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/23-07-2014/128126-cuba_russia_usa-0/ sounds awfully familiar

17:22:16  <planetmaker> and possibly be willing to dirty your hands in politics yourself
17:22:48  <ZirconiumX> Eddi|zuHause: I think the beginning was the whole Crimea issue in the first place
17:22:55  <Eddi|zuHause> i think the problem with entering politics is that it'll shape you more than you shape it
17:23:09  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: no, the beginning was long before that
17:23:11  <ZirconiumX> planetmaker: if nobody else can stop war, then do we have much of a choice?
17:23:18  <Rubidium> planetmaker: co-operations (companies, countries, ...) almost always take the cheap way, and barely anybody wants to pay more for slightly more safety
17:23:55  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: the "cold war" started the moment the EU and the USA picked sides in the revolution

17:24:17  <ZirconiumX> All we can hope is that this second cold war remains cold.
17:24:57  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, we might not yet be beyond that turning point, but surely at least the tipping point. Not sure
17:25:33  <Eddi|zuHause> ZirconiumX: in the wake of this political coup, the russians had no choice in the crimea situation, because they couldn't let their primary fleet base fall into western zone of influence
17:26:02  <planetmaker> that's a rather simplistic view, too, Eddi|zuHause
17:26:27  <planetmaker> "having no choice" has become a way too popular statement. It never is true
17:26:56  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure there were plans for that in russian government circles for 20 years already
17:27:04  <Eddi|zuHause> they just waited for a situation to do it

17:27:44  <planetmaker> and is. Just not a declared one
17:27:46  <Rubidium> after all, there is a large chance of surviving an airplane crash when the seats are mounted in reverse (but it costs way more because the hull can't be used as wing area anymore, or the seats need to recline a lot more)
17:28:11  <Rubidium> furthermore... it's going to be expensive to fly around all locations where people are having significant disputes
17:28:40  <Rubidium> how would you go from central Europe to Kuala Lumpur?
17:28:45  <Rubidium> - Ukraine... nope
17:28:46  <ZirconiumX> The last article I linked to condemns what Kozyrev and Gorbachev (to a lesser extent) did
17:28:53  <Rubidium> - Turkey... nope (PKK)
17:28:57  <Rubidium> - Syria... nope
17:28:57  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: obviously the answer to that is via syria :p
17:29:07  <planetmaker> Rubidium, I don't understand your argument "(but it costs way more because the hull can't be used as wing area anymore"
17:29:16  <Rubidium> - Israel... nope (Gaza)
17:29:17  <planetmaker> how would reversion seats cost anywhere any space?

17:30:49  <planetmaker> Rubidium, yes... but how does that impact seat spacing?
17:31:04  <Eddi|zuHause> if you change the angle of the seat, you need more distance between seets

17:31:39  <ZirconiumX> Rubidium: Google picks a good route, if by accident
17:32:09  <peter1138> I need more distance between seats anyway...
17:32:16  <peter1138> They're clearly designed for children.
17:32:22  <planetmaker> maybe... not sure it actually needs that. The tilt is at knee level and doesn't impact free area really
17:32:36  <Rubidium> planetmaker: take a number of boxes, place them next to eachother. Then change the angle of the boxes and see they need more space
17:32:44  <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: everybody with a larger-than-average size has that problem, so 50% of the population
17:32:48  <planetmaker> peter1138, I've once seen a nicer overview of seat spacing vs. airline... there's like at least 10cm difference among carriers

18:33:02  <V453000> hm, what would be a good idea to make industry with underland and animated overlay? IShould I replace ground { sprite: GROUNDSPRITE_NORMAL;} with my underlay sprite? And where would you put the animated part? to building{} or to childsprite{} ?
18:33:59  <planetmaker> V453000, I would not *replace* the ground sprite, but I would draw one on top - which maybe also leaves out some parts where e.g. grass can shine through
18:34:10  <V453000> right
18:34:18  <V453000> so building for underlay and childsprite for animation
18:34:20  <planetmaker> that makes the industry also blend in nicer - no matter what landscape one uses
18:34:24  <V453000> yeah
18:34:29  <V453000> that is what I though
18:34:30  <V453000> t
18:34:30  <planetmaker> you can use several groundsprites :)
18:34:38  <planetmaker> on top of eachother
18:34:48  <V453000> oh
18:34:55  <V453000> :D
18:35:05  <planetmaker> thus you can use grass and draw just the dirt patches
18:35:21  <planetmaker> and draw grass. And then dirt patches on top. Both ground
18:35:25  <V453000> igetit ... currently I had the whole industry in building{}
18:35:42  <planetmaker> well, not wrong :)
18:35:56  <V453000> is there any downside/downside to either approach?
18:35:57  <planetmaker> no need to change those sprites. But nevertheless a good idea to think of nice ground sprites
18:35:59  <V453000> or does it simply not matteR?
18:36:13  <planetmaker> it matters for when people make industries invisible. Then only ground is drawn
18:36:22  <V453000> ahaa
18:36:22  <planetmaker> thus it's good to show something else than only grass

18:37:17  <V453000> I mean the sprites have buildings which are tall in it
18:37:19  <planetmaker> i.e. fences cannot be ground
18:37:32  <V453000> which would make the buildings impossible to make invisible

18:39:55  <planetmaker> like ECS houses / TTRS houses. Yes.
18:40:05  <planetmaker> You shouldn't call buildings 'underlay' though :)

18:54:39  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: i guess i use "compartment" wrong. maybe "pseudocompartment"... what i mean is that arrangement with two seats in one direction and 2 seats in opposite direction. there may or may not be a table inbetween.
18:54:59  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: table is more common in long distance trains
18:56:12  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, besides the luggage compartment it's the only place in a train where there is a reasonable amount of leg space, especially if nobody sits opposite of you
18:56:55  <planetmaker> only if noone is opposite of you
18:57:13  <Eddi|zuHause> "real" compartments (usually with 6 seats) are not very common anymore
18:57:22  <planetmaker> indeed
18:57:57  <Eddi|zuHause> well if somebody sits opposite you can still "interleave" the legs
18:58:13  <planetmaker> that's awkward with strangers
19:01:36  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: first class on the IC Berlin (6 seat compartment) has plenty of space too, though that 4 seat thing in the Thalys (in second class) is really small

19:09:55  <Rubidium> that's the benefit of a train that's often full booked in second class on earliest run on monday (due to high schoolers on school trip to Berlin), a boss that requires you to be in Berlin at a specific time and a boss that gladly pays to get you on that particular train
19:10:18  <Rubidium> not that there's much benefit to first class on that train, except slightly more space
19:10:52  <Rubidium> though I need to walk basically the whole length of the train along the platform because the first class coaches are on the "wrong" side of the train both in Berlin and where I get onto it

19:31:36  <Eddi|zuHause> "size of the spriteset" is probably something different than "size of the sprite"
19:31:41  <planetmaker> V453000, no, it means your spritesets must have the same amount of sprites. Or you only must use one spriteset
19:32:04  <V453000> hm
19:32:24  <planetmaker> it's a bit strange limitation and I'm not entirely sure where it comes from
19:32:30  <V453000> so the animation must be only in building and childsprite, and everything else must be in gronud
19:32:32  <V453000> ground
19:32:50  <planetmaker> but it must be observed even when you reference the sprites individually and care not about how the actual spriteset looks like
19:32:53  <V453000> because loading 128 frames of static ground isnt best :P
19:33:11  <planetmaker> you can also always fill the small spritesets with empty real sprites
19:33:14  <planetmaker> [] is valid
19:33:32  <V453000> I still need to display the "underlay" somewhere so I could just as well move it
19:34:25  <V453000> ... how do I give the ground{} multiple sprites?
19:34:41  <Eddi|zuHause> i've no clue about sprtesets and childsprites, but all that sounds horribly wrong
19:35:24  <V453000> yeah I would assume the building sprite and child sprite should be independent enough to have varying sprite counts
19:35:45  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/ogfx-industries/repository/entry/src/tiles/farm_tiles.pnml <-- hm, might be that you need to define the subsequent ground sprites also as childsprite, V453000
19:36:21  <planetmaker> but as children to the groundsprite
19:36:29  <V453000> ._.

22:49:10  <Eddi|zuHause> no
22:49:48  <Eddi|zuHause> it's from the MH17 crash
22:52:47  <LordAro> ah
22:53:36  <LordAro> bbc is currently full of commonwealth games, so obviously everything else is not important anymore
22:56:04  <Eddi|zuHause> sports events do that.
22:56:20  <Eddi|zuHause> just think about all the things you missed because you watched the world cup
22:57:46  <LordAro> well, i didn't watch the world cup, so not much

22:57:59  <LordAro> but then, i didn't look at the news either, so...
22:59:45  <Eddi|zuHause> well it's a general "you"
23:00:04  <Eddi|zuHause> just read up on the concept of "burying"
23:01:36  <Eddi|zuHause> if you're sitting on a pile of bad news that you know has to get out at some point, you wait for something that absolutely dominates the news, no matter what. then you release your news, and are fairly sure it won't make the headlines
23:02:07  <Eddi|zuHause> so maybe it appears on page 2 or 3 in some tiny corner
23:02:46  <Eddi|zuHause> and after 2 weeks, when the attention goes back to normal, the outrage level will be too low to throw any concerns
23:06:53  * LordAro nods
