00:35:24  <drac_boy> what would you had called these fictional trains that often are squashed shorter than they normally would had in reality? I'm thinking 'toon' but just had to ask tho
00:35:29  <drac_boy> this is an example of what I meant http://ctt.trains.com/~/media/images/operating/product-reviews/2011/pr0711-thru-pr1211/ctt-pr1111_pennsy-outfit.jpg

00:38:12  <sim-al2> wow 4 wheels
00:42:06  <drac_boy> heh well theres also these from the same company too http://ep.yimg.com/ay/readymadetoys/beep-diesel-complete-powered-loco-arrive-2014-77.gif
00:42:33  <drac_boy> lkinda fun way to have a long-looking train in short space :) .. just wonder if classify it as 'toon' or rather some other word :)
00:43:27  <sim-al2> They'd be nice for small radius track (although 4 wheels might mess than up)
00:43:45  <drac_boy> well radius wouldn't really matter, its the joiners you have to be mindful about
00:44:23  <drac_boy> but two piece of flex track in oval shape...well....that is an easy way to really tight with the joiners only being on the short straightway sections :)
00:45:25  <drac_boy> mind you even N scale has a similar thing which is very popular in japan but can be found in a few outsider suppliers too ... one moment I'll get it for you
00:47:13  <drac_boy> name is Bandai (not sure of japanese spelling) and heres one collection with a standard-sized train sneaking in the back to give you an idea http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/yurikamome77/imgs/9/d/9d89b9f0.jpg
00:47:21  <drac_boy> and yep theres even some toonish container wagons too :)
00:47:51  <drac_boy> http://www.japanrailmodelers.org/pages/modelingjapan/btrainshorty/Fig5.jpg this gives you an idea why its popular in japan, tight curves look less tight with a Bandai train ;)
00:48:38  <drac_boy> homemade modifications is quite easy as its basically only two chassis for 100+ different products (powered and unpowered) .. just a few special ones such as the steam locomotive have non-standard chassis tho
00:48:59  <sim-al2> Yeah, tight radius curves make landscaping with regular cars rather interesting
00:49:30  <drac_boy> why do I know this - because I've actually looked into buying a bunch of these trains from an english-friendly japan webstore someday, just not yet tho :)
00:50:45  <drac_boy> btw heres one of these layouts that would be almost a total failure with normal american sized wagons heh http://www.japanrailmodelers.org/pages/modelingjapan/btrainshorty/Fig11.jpg

00:51:56  <sim-al2> Hmm, locomotives look about normal scale, those wagons are defintely short though :D
00:53:00  <drac_boy> ah yeah..still look at that express trainset being able to fit into the shed track almost :P
00:54:03  <drac_boy> one small footnote if you would: if you want a portable N scale layout in small space, don't bother with kato unitrak...go with tomix instead
00:54:27  <drac_boy> kato basically only have broad radius for most things but tomix has tracks and even some turnouts with very short radius to suit the smaller trains
00:54:38  <drac_boy> kato is american-ish which isn't a surprise
00:55:40  <drac_boy> heres a random example if you want http://www.imon.co.jp/webshop/imageview/images/WEB/TOMIX314/12311232.JPG
00:56:50  <sim-al2> Wow, that little piece is 30* arc
00:58:46  <sim-al2> Usually pretty, well, unrealistic... but not always: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7-f4N_4w-w
00:59:45  <drac_boy> well scale trains always have something unrealistic :P
00:59:57  <drac_boy> not to mention the "hand of god" or other jokes around that kind of thing
01:04:11  <sim-al2> I suggest you look at about 5:00 in that video too

01:36:27  <drac_boy> is that bve?
01:36:33  <sim-al2> Yeah, BVE5
01:36:48  <drac_boy> tried some bve or something a long time ago, funny that it still seem a bit familiar
01:37:01  <drac_boy> I knew it looked too chunky to be msts anyway :)
01:37:28  <sim-al2> TBH, most of the routes look better than anything in MSTS before like 2007

12:29:59  <smint> Ah ok. here it goes then. I'm looking for a simplest way how to use the in game events for generating messages that would be sent (in a predefined format) to a web location via json or with other data type. That would require to probably script some events like train Y has arrived, departed from station X , loaded 10 persons, unloaded 20 persons and so on
12:30:40  <Wolf01> mmmh, why nobody told me that translating before drawing would simplify A LOT the things?
12:30:40  <smint> I would like to create a super dense scenario that would help me simulate real traffic and populate our DB with real time data for analysis
12:31:47  <smint> Any ideas ?
12:31:54  <Alberth> that's a lot of detail
12:32:37  <smint> I could have a external app programmed ancapsulating it into right format but I need to get it out of ttd

12:33:33  <Alberth> there is an admin port thing, but afaik it's more oriented towards higher level monitoring
12:34:10  <Alberth> my guess is that "simplest" would be printf() in the source code at the right spot
12:35:01  <Alberth> not sure it would be useful, it's a lot of data
12:35:55  <smint> I need a lot of data generated to simulate real life environment - 1000 events per second roughly
12:36:19  <smint> I was thinking if any of the api's have a way to tap into this event handlers
12:37:09  <Alberth> afaik external connections don't go down to train arrivals and cargo movements
12:37:33  <Alberth> even Squirrel scripts don't work at that level
12:37:45  <Alberth> ie the AI and game scripts
12:38:36  <Alberth> you can eg ask for cumulative cargo deliveries since the last time you queried, but that's the lowest I know
12:39:04  <Alberth> but that API doesn't get outside

12:40:39  <Alberth> openttd itself also doesn't have a reason to do so, it doesn't add to game play, and it needs its CPU power for running trains

12:44:58  <Alberth> I'd start with a few simple "printf" calls to generate a data stream, and go from there
12:45:55  <smint> perhaps that is not such bad idea
12:46:01  <smint> for starters
12:46:18  <smint> Thanks for your help

14:15:30  <_johannes> once you've started a game, and later think that you'd like to enable some newgrf trains, is it somehow possible to make them available?
14:16:42  <Alberth> no
14:17:01  <_johannes> :ÂŽ-(
14:17:30  <_johannes> I have a very old map, and now I really miss some new trains on it
14:17:52  <_johannes> can't it be easily done by binary hacking?
14:18:06  <_johannes> or writing a small converter?
14:18:08  <Alberth> easily, no
14:18:23  <andythenorth> YOU CAN ENABLE SOME TOOLS!!
14:18:25  <andythenorth> oops
14:18:26  <andythenorth> caps
14:18:36  <Alberth> newgrf and other game data is very much intertwined
14:18:37  <_johannes> just need trains :)
14:18:49  <Wolf01> developer tools + resetengines, but don't report problems
14:19:14  <_johannes> what kind of problems are expectable?
14:19:24  <Wolf01> *everything*

14:20:01  <Wolf01> usually it's like when you are sitting on a chair and somebody takes it
14:22:14  <Alberth> data gets spread to everywhere, it's not just adding a few more entries in a table
14:23:17  <_johannes> I can not imagine what kind of data you're talking about...
14:26:48  <_johannes> a different question: does sending a train into the depot cost money?
14:27:03  <_johannes> i.e. do I pair for the people repairing the train and making it more reliable?
14:27:15  <Alberth> doesn't cost money
14:27:17  <Alberth> only time
14:27:39  <Alberth> unless you have an autoreplace or autorenew set for it :p
14:27:46  <_johannes> i.e. there are no disadvantages if I keep a train all day long in a depot?
14:28:06  <_johannes> you mean if it stands there 20 years, it gets renewed without a good reason?
14:28:11  <Alberth> hmm, maybe you pay running cost
14:28:53  <_johannes> no, I tested it, it does not cost money
14:29:07  <_johannes> the reliability goes down, but it goes up if the train leaves again
14:29:38  <Alberth> autorenew may only work when you enter the depot, or if you press some button on the depot, but not sure
14:30:08  <Alberth> I tend to leave the trains driving around :)
14:30:44  <_johannes> I thought about shunting trains... they would, most of their time, wait in a depot
14:30:52  <_johannes> and as it seems, it does not harm too much
14:30:53  <Alberth> running cost may be controlled by newgrf iirc, so different sets may have different ideas about it
14:31:41  <Alberth> they age, mostly, which influences rating of a serviced town a bit
14:32:15  <_johannes> you mean passengers dislike it if I send old trains to their stations?

14:34:12  <_johannes> I'm fine, how're you?
14:34:35  <drac_boy> doing ok for now, just going between online and re working on some plastics a bit

14:35:24  <Alberth> _johannes:  https://wiki.openttd.org/Game_mechanics#Station_rating   second entry
14:37:36  <_johannes> so it is only relevant if the train's age is less than 3?
14:37:43  <_johannes> my most trains are way older...
14:37:50  <drac_boy> of course I guess a porsche carrera has nothing to do with the game but ah well :->
14:40:12  <Alberth> maybe use the supercars newgrf? :)
14:44:10  <andythenorth> drac_boy: you did miss quite a lot
14:44:16  <andythenorth> it was sad that you couldn’t be here
14:44:39  <drac_boy> alberth heh guess that maybe would be indeed funny after all. a car with only room for 3 passengers
14:45:35  <Alberth> is very nice 1st class transport :)
14:45:48  <Alberth> I think in RL it might even work :)
14:46:04  <Alberth> bit costly though :)
14:46:11  <drac_boy> well RL at least has the concept of taxi services :p
14:48:35  <Alberth> RL people are too lazy :)
14:49:04  <drac_boy> or you always can go to a few countries (I recall at least italy and united arab) for an example of super cars being used as police cruisers

15:00:54  <drac_boy> no A1A trucks? ;)
15:02:10  <drac_boy> but heh yeah I don't think rail weight should be a factor in the game .. speed limits seem more than reasonable enough infill for now
15:06:33  <andythenorth> maybe that diesel should be longer
15:15:03  <drac_boy> I think so, two of them shouldn't be still looking shorter than the G16
15:15:27  <andythenorth> two of them are same length
15:15:55  <drac_boy> 48ft for G16 vs 34ft or 68ft for 91
15:16:16  <drac_boy> just my thought anyway
