10:26:32  <LordAro> peter1138: but andythenorth will come along and close them anyway
10:28:40  <peter1138> :-)
10:32:30  <andythenorth> too true
10:32:43  <andythenorth> did anyone fix the October dev blog post yet?
10:33:51  <andythenorth> https://github.com/OpenTTD/website/pull/103
11:42:59  <LordAro> did you?
11:43:08  * LordAro hasn't even looked at it yet

13:51:45  <nielsm> yoyoyoyo
13:53:30  <peter1138> Is it lunch?
13:53:35  <peter1138> I hope not cos I already ate mine.
13:53:56  <andythenorth> same
14:03:19  <peter1138> Maybe it's fifteenses?
14:03:35  <peter1138> I wonder if there's any stale old cakes left from last Friday.
14:04:00  <andythenorth> or oranges
14:04:06  <andythenorth> oranges are always valid
14:04:23  <peter1138> I have a satsuma, so yeah.
14:04:42  <andythenorth> citrus is nearly always valid
14:04:50  <peter1138> Nearly.
14:04:51  <andythenorth> although easting solitary limes is challenging
14:04:56  <andythenorth> eating *
14:05:18  <peter1138> Grapefruits tend to be quite big and so have quite a lot of sugar content.
14:06:02  <andythenorth> didn't consider grapefruit
14:06:04  <andythenorth> oops
14:06:20  <andythenorth> how do I get satsumas after brexit?
14:06:24  <andythenorth> they all come from Spain
14:08:59  <peter1138> You'll still get them from Spain.
14:09:29  <peter1138> They might end up costing more though.
14:09:43  <andythenorth> that's disappointingly undramatic
14:09:48  <Eddi|zuHause> is brexit still happening?
14:09:58  <andythenorth> emoji
14:10:19  <andythenorth> someone fixed that dev blog post?
14:10:22  <andythenorth> I can't be bothered :P
14:10:29  <andythenorth> the review notes are longer than the post
14:10:37  <andythenorth> they're probably accurate, but eh
14:10:58  <Eddi|zuHause> that's a good thing, right?
14:11:10  <Eddi|zuHause> means people actually care :p
14:11:12  <andythenorth> dunno, we apparently want more posts

14:49:14  <Xaroth> andythenorth: yeah, I looked at your oct post :)
14:49:47  <andythenorth> can we just edit directly in PRs? :P
14:50:01  <Xaroth> I can't :P
14:51:32  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: for the website, that's how we usually did it. there's an edit button on github

14:57:40  *** tokai has joined #openttd
14:57:40  *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
14:58:12  <andythenorth> oh so if we approve & merge, anyone can edit directly in the openttd repo?
14:58:15  <andythenorth> would be better
14:58:40  <andythenorth> I can't merge website stuff, as a CMD, it's quite laborious eh
14:58:43  <andythenorth> CMS *
15:01:54  <LordAro> andythenorth: i believe the general thought was that anyone who wants edit access can get edit access
15:01:58  <LordAro> but it does have to be manually added
15:02:40  <andythenorth> I can approve, but not merge afaict
15:02:58  <andythenorth> I am totally unclear who can merge, and I don't like bothering people to ask
15:03:09  <andythenorth> so it's quite a disincentive to actually doing anything
15:03:30  <LordAro> feel free to bother me about it
15:04:43  <andythenorth> ok
15:04:56  <andythenorth> can you merge that October dev post, so others can edit in place?
15:05:09  <andythenorth> round trip via my fork is daft, in hindsight
15:09:07  *** Eddi|zuHause2 has joined #openttd
15:10:09  <Eddi|zuHause2> andythenorth: i think there are more steps involved between merging and actually publishing, so it makes sense that that kind of work is restricted to fewer people
15:11:42  <andythenorth> afaik, it's just cutting a tag, and waiting to see if the magic magicked
15:14:16  <andythenorth> I'll see what Truebrain thinks next time he shows

15:24:53  <andythenorth> there are some great screenshots on reddit, if anyone wanted to ask the authors

15:28:10  *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
15:28:18  <LordAro> oh i see
15:28:34  <LordAro> normally the monthly-dev-post branch is open to all, but andythenorth's PR is obviously on his fork, so...
15:28:45  <andythenorth> yeah I thought I was doing it right, but I was wrong
15:28:50  <LordAro> it was close
15:29:10  <andythenorth> my local fork has jekyll running, so it made it easy to test
15:30:21  <Eddi|zuHause> sometimes right is wrong
15:38:05  <LordAro> sometimes wrong is right
15:49:31  <Eddi|zuHause> sometimes wrong is wrong
15:49:47  <Eddi|zuHause> but almost never is right actually right
15:50:50  <peter1138> Sometimes it's nearly home time.
15:50:54  <andythenorth> spoken like a UI designer Eddi|zuHause :P
15:51:02  <andythenorth> nothing is ever right, it's just progressively less wrong
15:51:16  <andythenorth> UI tends to this horrible mediocrity of 'least worst'
15:51:20  <Eddi|zuHause> and sometimes it's fractally wrong
15:51:26  <Eddi|zuHause> it's wrong all the way down
15:51:30  <andythenorth> peter1138: home time!
15:51:41  <peter1138> 9 minutes. Should I have a quick "pick me up" before I go?
15:52:11  <andythenorth> is it brandy?
15:54:49  <andythenorth> do I play OpenTTD wrong? :P
15:54:56  <andythenorth> I don't build nice cities like this https://www.tt-forums.net/download/file.php?id=207361
15:54:57  <Eddi|zuHause> yes.
15:55:29  <peter1138> Nah, I don't have brandy laying about the office.
15:55:35  <peter1138> Biscoff biscuit.
15:57:29  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] Mysteron347 opened issue #7777: Conditional orders https://git.io/Je4Py

16:26:11  <andythenorth> why are conditional orders?
16:26:17  * andythenorth wonders about a patchpack
16:26:52  <Eddi|zuHause> conditional orders are a feature solely to confuse cargodist
16:30:32  <andythenorth> what problem are they solving?

17:41:12  * andythenorth lolz at running OpenTTD on old macs
17:41:44  <andythenorth> the minimum spec given for Mac is the first Mac I owned
17:42:33  <frosch123> all info is correct for *some* version of ottd :)
17:43:35  * andythenorth fixes a few wiki pages
17:44:11  <nielsm> I'd say that windows earlier than XP are definitely no longer supported as of 1.9
17:44:33  <nielsm> and XP is not officially supported either
17:45:10  <nielsm> (XP is in the "if it works it's unintentional" category)
17:45:31  <nielsm> macos, I have no idea about :D
17:45:37  <nielsm> 10.8 or something?
17:45:50  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] DorpsGek pushed 1 commits to master https://git.io/Je4Mn

17:48:27  <andythenorth> n-2
17:48:34  <andythenorth> same as Apple
17:49:51  <andythenorth> I would like to burn the About page on the website with fire
17:50:40  <frosch123> it has been copy&pasted into dozen of game reviews
17:51:05  <frosch123> if you find that list in a review, you can directly conclude on the quality of the text
17:54:19  <frosch123> maybe all headers on the homepage should redirect to a google search about it
17:54:32  <frosch123> "about" -> lgtfy "what is openttd about"

17:56:09  <glx> andythenorth: you included the screenshots
17:56:19  <andythenorth> oh FFS :)
17:56:20  <andythenorth> I will fix
17:56:24  <glx> rebase and force push
17:56:29  <andythenorth> yes
17:56:42  <andythenorth> I forget that I have to drop commits from a branch
17:56:49  <andythenorth> so workflow
17:57:14  <glx> no you don't have to, you just need to branch from the right place :)
17:57:29  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/website] andythenorth updated pull request #105: Drop supported operating systems list from 'About' https://git.io/Je4M4
17:57:39  <andythenorth> this is so inverse to the workflow we have at work :|
17:57:46  <glx> if you branch from a branch they will have the same base
17:57:55  <andythenorth> maintaining two different habits in one tool is brainache
17:58:11  <andythenorth> anyway, fixed
17:59:40  <glx> for my action testing I just branched from master to create the first version, then branched from the branch to clone and modify and get a second version
18:01:01  <andythenorth> I am just going to make feature branches only for website
18:01:11  <andythenorth> the problem comes when my master diverges from upstream
18:10:02  *** gelignite has joined #openttd
18:17:01  <andythenorth> TB thought the README.md should be restructured to move the developer stuff into docs/README.md
18:17:04  * andythenorth looks at that
18:17:18  *** Maarten has joined #openttd
18:17:40  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not fond of the idea to hide information in so many layers
18:18:03  <andythenorth> I wondered
18:18:04  <andythenorth> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/README.md
18:18:13  <frosch123> there also could be a CONTRIBUTORS.md
18:18:15  <andythenorth> my worry is that it's not maintainted
18:18:28  <andythenorth> there's https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
18:18:31  <frosch123> and some script to parse a known commit history to extract all the patchers
18:19:28  <nielsm> README, COMPILING, CONTRIBUTING
18:19:35  <nielsm> and perhaps some more
18:19:40  <andythenorth> https://paste.openttdcoop.org/pse7a5gpi/gpqqsh/raw
18:21:46  <andythenorth> couple of these look aged? https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/tree/master/docs
18:23:07  <andythenorth> maybe just the OS/2 one :D
18:23:52  <andythenorth> when does changelog in master get backported? https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/changelog.txt
18:24:03  <andythenorth> 1.9.1 and friends are missing :)
18:24:14  <nielsm> when someone does it
18:24:17  <frosch123> before 1.10
18:24:25  <nielsm> there is an open PR to forward port the changelog
18:24:31  <frosch123> i think it's even in the 1.10-beta pr
18:24:47  <nielsm> it is
18:24:52  <andythenorth> should all .txt files be .md, or is that pointless change?
18:24:58  * andythenorth not looking for work, just a tidy house
18:25:09  <nielsm> nah
18:27:12  <andythenorth> eh README is pretty good, no?  Just the compiling section needs split out?
18:27:17  <andythenorth> rest seems fine, for now
18:27:53  <andythenorth> the team list is aging
18:34:53  <LordAro> it probably does need a bit of an update

18:51:35  <glx> better wait for 1.10 branching I think
18:54:08  <andythenorth> I want to write words for legacy support somewhere
18:54:18  <andythenorth> I think last time we talked it was something like:

18:55:02  <andythenorth> "we'll keep support going on old platforms as long as someone is interested, except if it means the project can't move forward with language and compiler features"
18:55:22  <andythenorth> TL;DR "We'll do our best, except where it becomes impractical"
18:55:32  <LordAro> sounds good
18:55:43  <andythenorth> and Apple users get n-2
18:55:52  <andythenorth> and should accept that they bought an Apple ideology
18:56:02  <LordAro> "anything that's still supported by its vendor"
18:56:14  <LordAro> "unless it's RHEL"
18:56:46  <glx> andythenorth: the commit prefix should be Doc: not Docs:
18:56:58  <andythenorth> oops
18:57:11  * andythenorth wonders if CONTRIBUTING links to README for compiling also
18:57:12  <andythenorth> hmm
18:57:37  <glx> (and I hate having to navigate really deep just to see the output of commit checker)
18:58:32  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] andythenorth updated pull request #7778: Docs: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je4DK
18:59:05  <LordAro> something something GH Actions
18:59:05  <andythenorth> how I used git for so long without learning rebase -i :P
18:59:34  <Eddi|zuHause> if you're not using rebase, might as well use hg :p
18:59:41  <LordAro> or svn
18:59:59  <glx> I love rebase -i, you can even duplicate commits to split them
19:00:23  <Eddi|zuHause> wasn't there a different tool to split commits?
19:00:44  <frosch123> mercurial queues :p
19:00:46  <andythenorth> sometimes I'm tempted to use rebase -i at work to hide my mistakes :P
19:00:49  <andythenorth> but force push is banned
19:01:25  <glx> do it in a branch
19:01:27  <LordAro> it's fine as long as it's not been pushed anywhere
19:01:43  <LordAro> it's a bit silly if force push is banned globally
19:02:08  * andythenorth wonders how to do a relative link from README.md to COMPILING.md :P
19:02:09  <glx> I can understand force push ban on master
19:02:31  <LordAro> yeah
19:03:01  <LordAro> andythenorth: [./COMPILING.md](foobar) i think?
19:03:01  <andythenorth> nielsm: honestly I might leave a compiling link out of README, can't see a good place for it
19:03:05  <glx> and of course not force pushing on something you know you're not the only one concerned
19:03:17  <glx> unless you ask before
19:03:35  <andythenorth> we have asynchronous collaboration on the same branch
19:03:40  <andythenorth> and email is deprecated
19:03:47  <andythenorth> and we have remote workers :P
19:03:54  <LordAro> yeah, use your own branch then :p
19:03:56  <andythenorth> so post-its on monitors also don't solve that
19:04:09  <LordAro> (or before pushing)
19:04:13  <nielsm> andythenorth: just add two lines in the About section, one referencing the Compiling file and one referencing Contributing
19:05:05  <andythenorth> ha ha
19:05:07  <andythenorth> check the README
19:05:17  <andythenorth> where does it say you can get binaries from? :)
19:05:38  <LordAro> should be somewhere :p
19:05:52  <andythenorth> $somewhere
19:06:19  <andythenorth> I'll make about 3 sections
19:06:28  <andythenorth> 1.1 Download 1.2 Compiling 1.3 Contributing
19:06:55  <andythenorth> why is Contact and Reporting Desyncs higher priority than Installing?
19:07:03  <andythenorth> not exactly confidence inspiring :P

19:58:11  <flyingghoti> ...city-builder open-source project called Charm Cities, and I thought there might be people here interested in comparing notes and experiences. http://charmcities.net/
20:00:49  <flyingghoti> We're trying to create a new type of city-builder game that really advances the genre by including a complete sociopolitical model that includes topics like race, disability, gender, and religion. If that's the sort of thing you find interesting, or if there are things you've learned on OpenTTD that you think it would be helpful for us to know, or if there might be assets or code you've already built that you think might h

20:02:18  <andythenorth> without being cynical, sounds like griefer paradise :)
20:02:55  <andythenorth> it's perfect 4chan fodder

20:05:13  <flyingghoti> Oh, sure, that's definitely a concern. But I don't want to not make something cool because the worst people in the world might be mad that it exists. At some point, all you can really do is put 2FA on all your accounts and go for it.
20:08:50  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] andythenorth updated pull request #7778: Doc: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je4DK
20:09:01  <nielsm> best of luck, if you manage to make a belivable simulation with all those elements that isn't full of glitches you'll probably have solved problems considered impossible in mathematics, physics, and computer science along the way
20:09:09  <nielsm> not to speak of social sciences
20:09:20  <andythenorth> it's worth trying
20:10:14  <nielsm> random technical advice: think modding first, design the core structure around having everything in the game run on the same rules/pluggable architecture
20:10:16  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] andythenorth updated pull request #7778: Doc: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je4DK
20:10:33  <nielsm> unless you decide that mod support is off-limits and design the game to explicitly not be moddable
20:10:49  <andythenorth> I really don't know if I've ballsed up the Windows instructions https://github.com/andythenorth/OpenTTD/blob/split-out-compiling-instructions/COMPILING.md
20:10:53  <andythenorth> not my field :(
20:12:01  <flyingghoti> Thanks, nielsm, I had the vague suspicion that would be a good plan but it's really helpful to hear it confirmed.
20:13:01  <nielsm> one of the annoying things in openttd is that it's built as a core game with built in defaults, and then mods are created as "take original item X and modify these properties"
20:13:19  <nielsm> and there is no such thing as starting a mod from a blank slate, you can only do it based off existing objects
20:14:15  <nielsm> this is due to legacy, inheriting the modding technology from ttdpatch that's an unofficial binary patch for transport tycoon deluxe, a 25 years old game
20:14:33  <flyingghoti> Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
20:15:18  <nielsm> and of course there's no way to change that now without breaking the thousands of things created already, it all has to stay compatible with all new development
20:16:17  <andythenorth> oh fuck git sometimes :(
20:16:28  <andythenorth> rebase upstream/master onto my master gets me a merge commit
20:16:29  <andythenorth> why?
20:16:40  <nielsm> having a strong mods-first policy also forces some strong separation of concerns on the program code and can to some extent avoid spaghetti
20:16:40  <Eddi|zuHause> well, we could break all existing mods, but i doubt the community would recover from that :p
20:17:33  <andythenorth> rebase -i seems to cover all sins :P
20:17:55  <LordAro> i mean, we could do "NewGRFv2" (yes i know the current version is 9, shut up), but there's no way we could ever get rid of "v1"
20:17:56  <nielsm> the disadvantage of that kind of arhitecture is that the decoupling most likely means worse performance than if everything was tightly integrated, and the development path to get to a good place is longer since you need much more framework built before you have things "working"
20:18:01  <Eddi|zuHause> don't worry, there'll be new sins where those came from :p
20:19:48  <nielsm> flyingghoti: another thing to know about openttd's architecture, which may not be relevant to you, is that the game is designed to be 100% deterministic, if two players load the same save file in the same revision of openttd, and let it run without interaction (and no AIs or Game Script either), the two will produce exactly the same result
20:19:55  <andythenorth> I really think that the modding framework in OpenTTD is fine
20:20:06  <nielsm> that's the foundation of the multiplayer support in openttd, that every client executes exactly the same simulation
20:20:07  <andythenorth> it's just that we fell in a cognitive hole with GS
20:20:29  <nielsm> it's possible to do multiplayer in other ways, but this is the way ottd handles it
20:21:24  <nielsm> andythenorth: well it would be cool if we could somehow define even the base vehicle set in a GRF
20:21:45  <andythenorth> well I have often wondered about that
20:21:45  <flyingghoti> That is interesting, yeah - we've discussed multiplayer a bit but we haven't come to a decision on how important it is to us yet. If we decide to leave it out of our minimum viable product we should still think about questions like that so it's not impossible to implement later.
20:21:59  <andythenorth> my assumption nielsm is that a bunch of .h files or similar can then be dropped :P
20:22:11  <andythenorth> and we could...you know...extende the base vehicles with cargo classes :P
20:22:29  <andythenorth> thereby avoiding one of the common newgrf elephant traps
20:22:31  <Eddi|zuHause> flyingghoti: if you think multiplayer isn't a focus early on, you'll probably never have multiplayer, ever.
20:22:58  <nielsm> yes multiplayer is also one of those things you have to design for from the ground up
20:23:21  <nielsm> it will permeate the entire code base
20:23:37  <nielsm> ...depending on the architecture
20:24:16  <andythenorth> anyone got comments on that Windows compiling info?
20:24:24  <nielsm> and all of these things are also covered by my favourite game engine of all time, the Quake 1 engine
20:24:28  <andythenorth> I can only maintain interest in something like that for a limited period :P
20:24:36  * andythenorth attention span issues
20:24:51  <nielsm> it's mods-first, and even singleplayer games are internally handled as client-server
20:24:54  <andythenorth> Quak 1: the reason you bought a Pentium
20:24:55  <LordAro> probably needs nielsm to review
20:25:15  <andythenorth> nielsm: have you read the Carmack / Romero book?
20:25:16  <andythenorth> it's good

20:25:54  <andythenorth> super important
20:26:02  <andythenorth> you got given one? :P
20:26:23  <frosch123> i used k6 and k6 II around that time
20:26:38  <nielsm> I played quake on a pentium 75 mhz and it was barely good enough
20:26:51  <dwfreed> there's probably still a pentium pro 200 MHz at my parents' place
20:26:54  <glx> AI and gamescript addition was "cleaner"
20:27:10  <andythenorth> yeah, my friend had a PC and upgraded from 486-66 to Pentium 75 or 90, and Quake just about got playable FPS

20:30:15  <Eddi|zuHause> nielsm: afair it didn't survive very long, some capacitor on the mainboard exploded, and i had to get a new one
20:30:55  <andythenorth> can we ditch any of this to the wiki? https://github.com/andythenorth/OpenTTD/blob/split-out-compiling-instructions/COMPILING.md

20:31:13  <andythenorth> only Windows seems to need all that stuff, the other platforms are a couple of lines
20:31:48  <LordAro> andythenorth: i would prefer it if the links were more specific

20:48:12  <LordAro> nice
20:48:18  <nielsm> ship it
20:48:46  <glx> I need to add some safety stuff, like checking it's not a windows VM :)
20:49:00  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] andythenorth updated pull request #7778: Doc: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je4DK
20:49:29  <andythenorth> ^ I think that might be done, barring fuckups :)
20:49:38  <andythenorth> if anyone fancies clicking some green buttons in GH :P
20:50:06  <LordAro> andythenorth: libicu is is Linux only nowadays
20:50:11  <glx> https://github.com/glx22/OpenTTD-git-hooks/pull/1/checks <-- docker version is not as good
20:50:26  <LordAro> and... so is libfreetype? or am i misremembering?
20:50:42  <glx> freetype is droped on windows yes
20:50:53  <andythenorth> and others?
20:51:08  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] andythenorth updated pull request #7778: Doc: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je4DK
20:51:22  <glx> still included in compile farm for 1.9 windows builds
20:51:48  <andythenorth> I've noted libicu
20:51:55  <andythenorth> if someone wants to review deps formally, they can :)
20:52:04  <andythenorth> this was just about cleaning up README :P
20:52:19  <andythenorth> like topsy, it has growed
20:52:24  <andythenorth> what even is topsy? :P
20:53:22  <andythenorth> google knew
20:53:25  <LordAro> andythenorth: "or more recent" -> "or newer"
20:53:34  <LordAro> i should probably review this properly on GH
20:53:49  <andythenorth> pls
20:53:53  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] andythenorth updated pull request #7778: Doc: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je4DK
20:54:41  * andythenorth must to bed, you could just fork it and make in-place edits
20:55:00  <andythenorth> reviewing .md docs via GH seems like double handling to me
20:55:11  *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC
20:55:13  <andythenorth> at work we just trade commits, or use etherpad
20:55:20  <andythenorth> or even...google docs :P
20:55:22  <LordAro> can't make it too easy for you :p

20:57:06  <andythenorth> I love that the major feature in the readme is 5.1) Logging of potentially dangerous actions
20:57:09  <andythenorth> https://github.com/andythenorth/OpenTTD/tree/split-out-compiling-instructions#51-logging-of-potentially-dangerous-actions
20:58:24  <andythenorth> :D
21:04:01  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] LordAro requested changes for pull request #7778: Doc: split compiling instructions from README, as they aren't requir… https://git.io/Je49E
21:07:16  <LordAro> andythenorth: major feature?
21:08:22  <andythenorth> it's the main topic under OpenTTD features
21:08:42  <andythenorth> I shall fix that...once I can restructure README safely :)
21:08:48  <LordAro> oh i see
21:08:51  <LordAro> :)
21:09:03  <andythenorth> the README is quite lolz, looked at with fresh eyes
21:09:06  <andythenorth> but very fixable
