00:34:34  <markasoftware> hey everybody
00:34:40  <markasoftware> what are your favorite transport simulation games?
00:37:10  <supermop> not a lot of selection out there
00:37:57  <markasoftware> i like openttd
00:38:14  <markasoftware> that's probably my favorite
00:38:25  <supermop> probably most people in this channel would agree
00:38:26  <markasoftware> are there really any other ones at all?
00:38:38  <markasoftware> apart from original ttd
00:38:49  <markasoftware> i remember playing some "railroad tycoon 3" a long time ago
00:38:49  <supermop> think so but I haven't played them
00:39:16  <supermop> most of the people who play transport fever are not online at the moment

02:43:50  <supermop> ive mostly been just working, but also messing around making generative tiny buildings in rhino
02:44:03  <supermop> maybe there is a newgrf idea in there

03:34:45  <Lejving> markasoftware, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=821959155
03:34:47  <Lejving> this looks promising
03:35:20  <markasoftware> damn, that looks cool
03:35:33  <markasoftware> looks similar to openttd in a lot of ways
03:36:05  <markasoftware> early access is very soon
03:36:08  <markasoftware> ill have to keep a watch on that
03:36:10  <markasoftware> thanks Lejving
03:36:17  <Lejving> np :)
03:37:20  <Lejving> it got serious potential if you ask me, guy is like almost chris sawyer #2
03:37:33  <Lejving> it's written entirely in c++ on his own engine
03:41:49  <markasoftware> i mean, it shows dedication that he wrote his own engine
03:41:52  <markasoftware> but why?
03:41:58  <markasoftware> this game could've fit very well into unity or ue4
03:42:08  <markasoftware> maybe he just finds it fun
03:42:18  *** glx has quit IRC
03:43:31  <Lejving> got a lot more potential for greatness with his own engine too though I guess
03:43:37  <Lejving> higher risk better reward

08:03:49  <peter1138> yeah but is it only trains? :(
08:09:46  <crem> I wish it also had submarines! There was no good submarine sim recently.  Actually, the only decent sims don't run under modern oses. :(
08:10:17  <peter1138> dosbox
08:11:10  <crem> Nope, it's not for dos. It's for windows with 16-bit color mode.   And windows starting from 8 doesn't support that.

18:06:24  <Lejving> I'm trying to load very old save files, and it gives me error sometimes... is there a mode or setting or anything that I can use to like load even with errors?
18:06:43  <Lejving> all info I need from the game is signs

18:18:12  <Alberth> errors as in missing newgrf?
18:18:48  <Alberth> if so, find the newgrf :)
18:23:49  <Lejving> no errors as in game errors

18:29:01  <frosch123> hoin
18:29:21  <Lejving> sup frosch123
18:29:28  <Lejving> http://i.imgur.com/rYg6nW4.jpg what's up with this frosch123
18:29:39  <Lejving> I'm trying to load old save files
18:31:42  <glx> maybe too old and needing more than one conversion
18:32:43  <Lejving> well it uses some weird ass folder that I don't even ahve on my computer
18:32:49  <Lejving> so dunno wtf is up with that
18:32:50  <frosch123> Lejving: if you want an easy solution, try loading it with an intermediate old version of ottd first
18:33:12  <frosch123> when that loads, resave with different filename and climb up the versions
18:33:13  <glx> anyway error when loading some stuff in a pool, can be related to vehicles, industries, towns, ...
18:33:44  <V453000> oh ancient saves
18:34:14  <glx> you could check savegame version with the right debug level I think
18:34:59  *** gelignite has joined #openttd
18:36:22  <Lejving> guess this'll have to wait :)
18:41:02  *** FLHerne has quit IRC
18:41:08  *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
18:44:04  <glx> just start openttd with -dsl1 before trying
18:44:40  <glx> and it should say "Loading savegame version xx"

18:49:47  <Eddi|zuHause> http://www.zeit.de/wissen/geschichte/2017-02/adolf-hitler-chancellor-appointment-anniversary
18:49:49  <supermop__> yo andy
18:51:29  <andythenorth> lo
18:52:37  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: if we’re playing pseudo-twitter here :) http://www.iq.harvard.edu/files/iqss-harvard/files/11-13presentation.pdf
18:53:16  <andythenorth> it’s probably on-topic even :P
18:56:27  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: this article is more about about how the conservative forces backed hitler's grab for power, not believing all the racist and whatever talks he gave, and expected to be able to control him once he was in power
18:56:42  <andythenorth> I read it :)
18:56:50  <andythenorth> the counter example is Mussolini
18:57:15  <andythenorth> over time, history will tell us which is the more incorrect analogy
18:57:18  <andythenorth> :)
18:57:50  <andythenorth> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini#Dismissed_and_arrested
18:57:51  <Eddi|zuHause> history tells lots of things, most of them untrue
18:58:09  <Eddi|zuHause> or highly exaggerated
18:58:10  <andythenorth> my point was we won’t know until it’s history, but yes
18:59:28  <andythenorth> the default expectation is that extreme politicians are operating overton window
18:59:34  <andythenorth> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
18:59:46  <andythenorth> whereas Bannon (via Trump) has removed the window
19:00:04  <andythenorth> and is simply implementing the previously unthinkable
19:02:03  <andythenorth> hmm
19:02:12  <andythenorth> does looking at train photos resist fascism, or enable it?
19:02:13  <andythenorth>  :P
19:03:09  <Eddi|zuHause> there exists an unhealthy dose of everything
19:03:35  <supermop__> andythenorth: idioms would suggest enable
19:04:00  <supermop__> presumably you need the train to be there at the expected time to photograph it
19:04:32  <andythenorth> fair point
19:04:39  *** tycoondemon has quit IRC
19:05:01  <Eddi|zuHause> does fascism make trains more on time?
19:05:50  <supermop__> likely no but colloquially people, seem to think it does
19:07:16  <supermop__> so someone wanting to see train photos may subtly be nudged towards being more accepting of a paradigm in which 'common sense' feels like may produce more effiecient running of trains
19:07:57  <Eddi|zuHause> well, i visited a german train forum once, and it was filled with right-wing people
19:08:42  <andythenorth> subjectively, train fans are more likely to have voted Brexit :P
19:09:09  <berndj> what distance matters in determining cargo rates - manhattan, cartesian, or route distance?
19:09:10  <supermop__> andythenorth: sort of the basis of my thinking there
19:09:20  <supermop__> and here as well
19:09:28  <Eddi|zuHause> manhattan distance between the station signs
19:09:43  <supermop__> i consider myself to be more of a fan of the tracks rather than the trains
19:09:50  <supermop__> for various reasons
19:09:53  <berndj> ah so that's why going diagonal is apparently so profitable?
19:10:07  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
19:10:25  <berndj> pity it uses up so much land!
19:11:40  <berndj> andythenorth: "defenestration"!
19:12:46  *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
19:14:19  <Milek7_> in my country unregistered sim cards will stop working tommorow :(
19:15:06  <Eddi|zuHause> berndj: defenestration is so 17th century...
19:15:38  <frosch123> were there ever unregistered sim cards here?
19:16:55  <Eddi|zuHause> Milek7_: all that will do is create a black market for registered-to-someone-else sim cards?
19:18:15  <berndj> ok i'm giving in to the craving, playing a little game
19:18:34  <Milek7_> probably yes
19:19:06  <berndj> Eddi|zuHause, here in south africa it's a totally open secret that you can just walk in and buy "pre-registered" cards
19:19:24  <Milek7_> or maybe imported from other ue country where registration is not required
19:19:51  *** Mucht has joined #openttd
19:19:53  <berndj> maybe not from the big-name stores, but from the spaza shop type cell phones / accessories / repairs shops
19:20:25  <Milek7_> s/ue/eu/g
19:26:11  <__ln__> 'unregistered' as in something you can buy anonymously without providing your name or other details?
19:26:32  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that's what that means
19:27:16  *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC
19:29:25  <__ln__> i've had one or two of such over the years
19:30:17  *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
19:31:14  <Eddi|zuHause> i've only ever had 2 sim cards, one my parents had to show their ID for, and one that my boss gave me (and runs on the company's name i presume)
19:32:45  *** supermop has joined #openttd
19:33:14  <frosch123> my second sim card expired yesterday or so

21:34:33  <Eddi|zuHause> how that? they filter for numbers with their own area code?
21:35:09  <Eddi|zuHause> that's easier in germany, because cell phones have special area codes not actually associated with an area
21:35:37  <supermop_> harder to convince them that you are actually their constituent and not just someone in a different state
21:36:44  <Eddi|zuHause> obligatory reference https://xkcd.com/1129/
21:37:09  <supermop_> although i guess my 'home' state senator is more of swing vote than my current state
