09:49:44  * Wolf01 points in a random direction
10:23:00  <Wolf01> meh, I hate positioning stations in factorio... track length, train length and inserter positions are inconsistent, if you move the station of 1 tile horizontally you end up with some offset

10:36:01  <monsted> i'd love to see a mix of openttd and factorio
10:36:19  <monsted> build factorio bases, link them with openttd :)
10:36:54  <monsted> (of course they could just massively improve factorio trains...)
10:47:16  <V453000> xd
10:47:34  <V453000> trains will get many improvements in 0.13
10:49:15  <andythenorth> those slackjaws, why are they sitting around not improving trains Right Now
10:50:12  * andythenorth considers if port-type industries could actually communicate with Factorio over network
10:50:19  <andythenorth> “API"
10:51:31  <V453000> they actually are doing that Right Now :P
10:53:38  <Wolf01> I'm waiting for that, the autorail finally :D
10:54:05  <Wolf01> The blueprint book also it will be there?
10:54:21  <V453000> shitload of stuff
10:54:25  <V453000> also some unannounced yet :P

10:54:41  <andythenorth> Subways? o_O
10:55:03  <Wolf01> the inserter spidertron
10:55:36  <andythenorth> so is OpenTTD officially beaten then?
10:55:51  <andythenorth> has Factorio won yet?
10:58:59  <Wolf01> start doing FIRS for factorio

12:44:02  <Eddi|zuHause> seems legit.
12:44:10  <Eddi|zuHause> totally realistic
12:44:15  <Wolf01> yes, why not
12:44:18  <andythenorth> shunting is implemented already? :o
12:44:23  <andythenorth> OpenTTD is definitely dead
12:44:48  <Eddi|zuHause> openttd would have thrown a "disconnected train" and exited
12:46:18  <Wolf01> I still can't understand how in OTTD a train could disconnect... I can figure it out in LoMo and in Factorio as you can place and drag them on the tracks
12:47:10  <Eddi|zuHause> original TT happily did that if you loaded a game into scenario editor
12:48:02  <Eddi|zuHause> the engine would drive off, leaving the wagons behind
12:48:50  <Wolf01> \o/ shunting, just remove the assert
12:48:54  <Eddi|zuHause> "disconnected train" usually comes up if you mess with movement code, like trying to implement bridgeheads
12:49:20  <Eddi|zuHause> particularly when reversing the train
12:50:45  <Wolf01> because trains shouldn't reverse, only change direction
12:51:45  <Wolf01> the quantum engine always bothered me, that's why I often use dual headed engines
12:52:09  <Eddi|zuHause> that still makes the train technically turn around :p
12:52:29  <V453000> which doesn't happen in factorio :P
12:52:31  <V453000> win
12:53:04  <Wolf01> that's why I make dual headed trains in factorio
12:53:18  <Wolf01> (reversing loops are too big)
12:53:53  <V453000> I think both approaches are nice
12:53:59  <V453000> reversing trains are awesome because yeah, no loops
12:54:20  <V453000> but the reversed engines do not give any power, so you are carrying half of the engines as dead weight
12:54:25  <Wolf01> the TT behavior mean you have an entire switching yard and a turntable somewhere in a 5th-dimension

13:16:44  <frosch123> I see, i guess fff are a saturday thing for me
13:18:43  <Eddi|zuHause> Furby Free Fridays?
13:19:45  <andythenorth> remind me again why I don’t make my newgrf compiles into a framework
13:20:04  <andythenorth> I could offer something that allows you to “create a prototype newgrf in literally minutes"
13:20:06  <frosch123> V's vriday vacts
13:20:13  <V453000> yo andythenorth why the fuck don't you make your newgrfs compiles into -wtf is a framework-
13:20:20  <V453000> sup frog
13:20:39  <andythenorth> all these shitty frameworks seem to assume the problem is that writing code takes a long time
13:21:06  <andythenorth> what takes a really long time is avoiding writing code
13:21:13  <V453000> :D
13:21:26  <frosch123> Didn't you have a drawing framework as well?
13:21:50  <V453000> yes because most people don't get to the point of optimizing andythenorth, and just write it down to make it work at least somehow
13:21:55  <V453000> my approach when coding shit for openttd
13:22:04  <andythenorth> frosch123: I have a drawing library
13:22:09  <andythenorth> is that a framework?
13:22:25  <V453000> then frosch writes something that stores values and loads them later with vehicles, and I don't have a clue what it does :>
13:22:53  <andythenorth> so FIRS 2 is done
13:22:56  <andythenorth> but I might change it
13:23:02  <V453000> XD
13:23:40  <V453000> does it have easter eggs or april fools surprise for seasonal value?
13:24:17  <frosch123> V throws my shit at sylf to turn it into something real
13:24:50  <frosch123> V453000: durian is wtf of the week
13:25:15  <V453000> yeah that is pretty much how yeti production mechanism is happening frosch123  :D
13:25:22  <V453000> durian?
13:25:34  <frosch123> Is a fruit
13:25:59  <frosch123> I thought it was just some internet hype
13:26:09  <V453000> no clue

13:30:23  <frosch123> Here you can get almost everything with durian flavour
13:31:13  <frosch123> Chocolate, drinks, ... There is even a durian shaped opera house
13:33:17  <andythenorth> is it nice?
13:33:29  <andythenorth> seems to be quite varied opinions
13:38:04  <frosch123> Haha, the chocolate has an additionalplastic wrapper around it
13:38:18  <frosch123> I just removed it
13:38:27  <frosch123> It smells terrible
13:38:58  <V453000> #seriousproblems
13:39:59  <frosch123> The taste is not as bad
13:40:09  <frosch123> But not great either
13:40:49  <frosch123> It must be a tourist joke or so
13:41:11  <Wolf01> iirc, they discourage to eat that fruit in public because of the smell
13:42:01  <frosch123> Yes, i made a photo of a sign: no smoking allowed, no durians allowed
13:44:26  <_dp_> Hi, I'm setting town text with DoCommandP call, but how do I add some color to text?
13:44:30  <_dp_> DoCommandP(0, town->index, 0, CMD_TOWN_SET_TEXT, nullptr, "some text");
13:44:49  <_dp_> I think I even know the answer, but don't want to believe it.... %)
13:49:49  <frosch123> You can try the scc_encoded
13:50:15  <frosch123> If that is not allowed then colour codes are not allowed either
13:50:53  <_dp_> scc_encoded needs a gs string id as far as I can tell
13:51:26  <frosch123> I cannot remember

13:53:12  <_dp_> yeah, it has CMD_STR_CTRL, but that only means it allows SCC_ENCODED, nothing else
13:53:17  <frosch123> Not allowed codes are either removed or the command is rejected

13:59:28  <_dp_> basically, how I understand it, I need a gs with language file with smth like STR_JUST_STRING to be able to use SCC_ENCODED

14:04:42  <_dp_> which probably means I'll run into 20 params GS bullshit
14:04:56  <_dp_> *limit
14:10:46  <_dp_> would be much better if you'll just allow more control codes with CMD_STR_CTRL
14:11:06  <_dp_> it even says "Allow the special control codes." in comment, not "code" ;)

16:24:50  <_johannes> is it ok if my external railnet graph creator uses C++11 ?
16:25:09  <_johannes> (the parts I'd change *inside* openttd would be C++03 conform, of course)
16:28:06  <Alberth> if it's a separate program, you can use any language you like, I think

16:36:00  <Eddi|zuHause> just also MAX the timeouts :p
16:37:07  <Alberth> it may also be your ISP not wanting to download lots of data from a "weird" port

17:03:54  <_dp_> looks like it accepts string parameters, but don't see any way of actually using them
17:04:13  <_dp_> RAW_STRING is not allowed in gamescript...
17:12:31  <Alberth> the strings are stored in savegames etc, which may be a bit difficult
17:15:14  <_dp_> there is code to store raw_strings and it looks fine, just can't find any way to use it %)
17:16:44  <Alberth> in my experience, the save game stores string index number in the lang file
17:21:06  <_dp_> it uses some encoding that can both reference strings by id and store raw strings
17:23:20  <_dp_> didn't check, but I bet {RAW_STRING} will work just fine if it didn't come from gs
17:23:46  <_dp_> there is just explicit check to skip it if string came from gs
17:23:57  <_dp_> even though gs can encode raw strings

17:29:44  <Alberth> it was probably considered and rejected for some reason
17:31:37  <_dp_> looks more like a bug to me since there is bunch of unused code then
17:32:52  <_dp_> oh, and it will probably break everything since it passes parameter but doesn't consume it...

17:40:31  <_dp_> limiting everything to gs scope is at least logical, not that I like it

17:42:45  <_dp_> in fact, it does exactly the opposite as far as I can tell
17:43:47  <_dp_> now it can lead to some invalid strings...
17:43:53  <_dp_> gotta test that though...
17:44:15  <Alberth> what's the usecase for a raw string?
17:44:31  <Alberth> just a regular string also works, and it remains translatable
17:44:56  <andythenorth> also, and completely unrelated
17:45:04  <andythenorth> could we add smart quote detection? :P
17:45:10  <_dp_> idk, show random password?
17:46:50  <Alberth> quotes are smart?
17:47:47  <_dp_> and I'm just looking for a way to avoid that 20 params limit, so trying to understand how everything works)
17:48:57  <andythenorth> if a quote mark ‘ or “ is the first of a pair, flip the sprite
17:49:01  <Alberth> more than 20 parameters means you have too much information to display
17:49:11  <Alberth> people are not going to read 20 numbers
17:49:45  <_dp_> no, because parameters are used by every little thing
17:50:13  <_dp_> if you add color to numbers can do only 10
17:53:03  <_dp_> btw, I can show any amount of numbers if I don't color them, coz passing just one plain raw string also works ;)
17:53:40  <Alberth> I think 10 is already too much
17:53:41  <_dp_> ah, and without line breaks... just one freaking line of numbers %)
17:53:58  <Alberth> people can't handle that many things at the same time
17:54:09  <_dp_> it's possible to have 10 cargos in cb
17:54:31  <_dp_> btw, you also need cargo name, makes it 6...
17:56:30  <_dp_> some existing scripts even change message format when they hit 20 params, I thought it's a bug when I first saw it
17:59:07  <supermop> hmm should i start hosting a game from my work computer?
17:59:18  <supermop> or wait until 4th week of new job for that
17:59:49  *** Krizz [~krizzmanw@156.57.189.69] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
18:01:10  <_dp_> also, it's quite hard to to stuff without using 1-2 more params per cargo for substring ids
18:01:39  <_dp_> so that limit of 20 is being used up after 4-5 cargos
18:01:41  *** Krizz [~krizzmanw@156.57.189.69] has joined #openttd
18:02:00  <_dp_> which, basically, means 5 numbers too

18:57:34  <sim-al2> I don't recall the package sets being particularly tall, looking at the box pictures they were often just a bit taller than a minifigure (enough room to stand, but not much more)
18:59:35  <supermop> there is some tram at the store near here that is tall enough for them to stand in

19:06:37  <hewimp> happen to know how to add new mods new game without making new game every time ?
19:07:34  <hewimp> so if i find mod i like can add to existing map .
19:08:16  <sim-al2> The safe way would be to save the heightmap
19:08:52  <hewimp> so save the game as heightmap ?
19:13:47  <hewimp> i do not see any heightmap save can i create one from game ?
19:14:23  <sim-al2> I suppose you want to keep the cities and other stuff that already exist right?
19:15:13  <hewimp> City do not matter
19:15:18  <sim-al2> The reason why I say "Safe way" is that adding newGRFs to an already running game in the past caused so many problems that it was disabled
19:15:21  <hewimp> its the senaro i made
19:15:55  <hewimp> Drew a Map wanted to add Mods has 0 atm
19:16:04  <sim-al2> With the scenario editor?
19:16:11  <hewimp> yes
19:16:18  <hewimp> can play it
19:16:24  <hewimp> just wanted to add Mods
19:16:52  <hewimp> Drew the Falcon so wanted to keep it
19:17:25  <sim-al2> In the scenario editor, there's an option to save the map as a heightmap, and then you can reimport it
19:17:39  <sim-al2> (after you change the newGRFS)
19:19:18  <hewimp> so add Grf and Inport  a Map ?
19:20:15  <sim-al2> Yes
19:23:43  <sim-al2> The dangerous way (as far as possibly causing all kinds of interesting things to happen) is to enable the scenario developer tools: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=53881#p939635
19:24:51  <sim-al2> That will let you change newGRFS in an existing game, but of course that carries the risk of causing trouble
19:32:51  <hewimp> Sweet thanks
19:33:00  <hewimp> can even resize the map if i want
19:35:12  <andythenorth> stuff _will_ break if you add/remove newgrs

21:43:34  <sim-al2> The cars have full electric lights including headlights, and it does have a grade crossing, so I guess that's why it's an overhead collector. Some have automated announcments and other modern stuff too
21:44:09  <sim-al2> Apparently, there was a seperate "communication line", and so the electric overhead is actually offset

21:51:52  <supermop_> well i've certainly wasted plenty of time at work today reading about odd bits of transit infrastructure around osaka
21:52:21  <sim-al2> Did you read about the Kobe Portliner?
21:54:16  <sim-al2> Rubber-tire transit systems seem more popular in Japan as "real" transit, while outside of East/Southeast Asia they are basically just airport people movers (I'm excluding the French rubber tire metros here, because of major differences)

21:56:11  <supermop_> mexico df metro is all rubber tired
21:56:24  <supermop_> and pretty much a "real" metro
21:56:31  <sim-al2> Yeah, Montreal too
21:56:40  <sim-al2> And a bunch of French cities
21:57:29  <supermop_> got stuck on these after reading about some linear motor metro lines in osaka
21:57:38  <sim-al2> For the most part, they have rails for guidance and protection against blowouts, while the transit stuff are more bus like
21:57:56  <sim-al2> Wait, they've got linear motor stuff too?
21:58:02  <supermop_> which i got to by wodering if it would be easier to make a tiny toy monorail with a linear motor
21:58:32  <supermop_> similar to bombardier art systems
21:59:14  <sim-al2> Here's the portliner gear: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/KNT2000_pantograph.jpg
22:00:56  <sim-al2> I mean, there's certainly advantages, like better traction and braking, and easier to have good riding characteristics, but those tires can't be cheap (and have much more friction)

22:04:14  <sim-al2> I know the Paris system was developed to reduce noise on the above-ground lines, but they have higher running costs than the regular system
22:04:40  <supermop_> in mexico i don't know the reason,
22:05:02  <supermop_> but they don't have much ice there ever despite the high elevation
22:05:22  <sim-al2> Wow, the Portliner has a three-phase third rail system
22:05:32  <sim-al2> *well, 5th rail
22:05:37  <supermop_> i think it is a function of the time it was built
22:06:31  <supermop_> hmm hour to kill until dinner reservation,
22:06:31  <supermop_> last one in the office
22:06:34  <supermop_> but too hungry for beer
22:06:55  <sim-al2> You can see the rails on the right here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ja/e/ef/Portliner_8000_01.jpg
22:07:36  <sim-al2> Apparently it's only 600 volts, but still, I've never read about a three-phase system that doesn't use overhead
22:07:56  <supermop_> interesting center shunt there

22:12:25  <sim-al2> Yeah, I assume it's for storage, as the line isn't really long enough for turn-back schedules
22:14:17  <supermop_> ok enough reading about trains for now, going to go get a beer and snack
22:14:58  <supermop_> still need to build a tramway in my apartment
22:17:04  <supermop_> later
