07:58:15  <Eddi|zuHause> <andythenorth> so when do we fork the newgrf spec for jgrpp? <-- that doesn't make any sense
07:59:30  <andythenorth> fork might not be the right word
07:59:40  <andythenorth> add a variant?
08:02:22  *** Progman has joined #openttd
08:04:21  <andythenorth> it's similar to when TTDP was a concern
08:15:46  <peter1138> That's for JGR to do, not us.
08:18:02  <andythenorth> already done it looks like https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/JGRennison/OpenTTD-patches/blob/jgrpp/docs/newgrf-additions.html
08:18:08  <andythenorth> I was thinking about wiki
08:20:02  <Eddi|zuHause> we already had discussions about including patchpack stuff in the specs. that's not really the big problem though
08:20:33  <Eddi|zuHause> the big problem is, how to make newgrf coders use them, without losing the ability to load the same newgrfs in trunk (now and in the future)
08:22:22  <andythenorth> isn't the situation akin to when TTDP could no longer load OpenTTD grfs?
08:22:35  <Eddi|zuHause> no
08:23:01  <andythenorth> what differs?
08:23:24  <Eddi|zuHause> the target audience
08:26:04  <Eddi|zuHause> when openttd made the step towards grfv8 (which is, i believe, the point you refer to), TTDP had a miniscule following, and no active development anymore
08:27:40  <Eddi|zuHause> whereas with JGRPP, the userbase of that is still just a tiny fragment of the OTTD userbase
08:27:57  <Eddi|zuHause> plus, OTTD still has active development
08:28:12  <Eddi|zuHause> plus, none of the JGRPP changes are of any scale similar to grfv8
08:29:17  <Eddi|zuHause> so, it's not like it would be impossible to make a GRF that loads in both
08:33:38  <Eddi|zuHause> so, what's actually needed is a way to include the JGRPP-specific features in your GRF, that can be safely skipped in openttd versions that don't have them (yet)
08:34:04  <Eddi|zuHause> the specs technically have all the tools to achieve that
08:37:07  <andythenorth> I suspect that it's more likely grfs will just target jgr
08:37:25  <andythenorth> that will become interesting on bananas
08:38:47  <Eddi|zuHause> honestly, i find that rather unlikely

08:42:11  *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
08:50:58  <andythenorth> is that not the standard bias towards the existing?
08:51:20  <andythenorth> there's a cohort who still can't quite get over the way TTDP lost :P
08:55:44  <peter1138> Is there?

08:59:06  * andythenorth doesn't know

09:47:05  <Samu> hi
09:51:51  *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC
09:57:42  <Samu> weird stuff
09:57:53  <Samu> that savegame on 1.10 beta
09:58:09  <Samu> gives me a higher average ms for road vehicle ticks

10:23:04  *** arikover has joined #openttd
10:23:23  <Samu> downloaded from the website
10:23:39  <Samu> https://www.openttd.org/downloads/openttd-releases/testing.html
10:23:43  <Samu> i get 74 ms
10:23:59  <Samu> the builds I builds with visual studio give me 64 ms
10:24:08  <Samu> but they're not 1.10
10:25:44  <Samu> im trying to build 1.10 myself
10:25:47  <Samu> will test
10:30:40  <Samu> yeah, i get less ms with my own builds than the official builds
10:30:46  <Samu> why's that?
10:30:59  <Samu> just tested
10:40:47  <Samu> https://i.imgur.com/pEyxxyB.png
10:44:05  <LordAro> curious
10:44:32  <LordAro> it's possible that visual studio is being "clever" and optimising it specifically for your computer, but that's unlikely
10:59:05  <Samu> is there a hotkey for opening the frame rate window?

14:41:26  *** supermop_Home has joined #openttd
14:41:31  <supermop_Home> hello
14:42:15  <andythenorth> yo
14:42:22  <andythenorth> perfect timing
14:42:57  <andythenorth> supermop_Home: should I do one of these?  I did DVTs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_Brake_Standard_Open
14:44:09  <supermop_Home> sure, unless you want mk2s to get a yellow panel automatically when on in
14:44:40  <supermop_Home> if you use shunting patch dvts / etc become pretty functional
14:44:51  <andythenorth> has to be an engine to lead the train, so it can't just be a sprite change
14:44:53  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: i'm not sure what's the difference
14:45:04  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: just a generation thing
14:45:13  <supermop_Home> I will say tho dbso less interesting than dvt as it is not pointy
14:45:20  <andythenorth> yeah, that was my though
14:45:23  <andythenorth> thought *
14:45:25  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: if you can reuse the DVT code, then just draw it?
14:45:31  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: exactly
14:46:05  <andythenorth> supermop_Home: o_O https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Classes_251_and_261
14:46:12  <andythenorth> I'd have to draw the damn thing though :P
14:46:34  <FLHerne> andythenorth: Instead of it being a loco, you could always just flip the consist using grf magic :P
14:46:43  <supermop_Home> it's been a while since I used shunting patch, but I recall that trains reversing with a regular wagon forward are limited to a very low shunting speed
14:46:43  <andythenorth> ouch no
14:46:58  <andythenorth> blue pullman it is then :P
14:47:03  <andythenorth> that's like an hour of drawing :P
14:47:06  <FLHerne> (remember those UKRS2 railmotors?)
14:47:21  <supermop_Home> whereas a dvt on ends would be a neat way to differentiate those trains you want to be push-pull
14:47:24  <andythenorth> or should I just do a Blue Pullman as precursor to HST?
14:47:40  <andythenorth> it wouldn't be fast though, just different
14:47:58  <FLHerne> andythenorth: With the current DVT-as-loco, does the consist still get visually flipped when reversing? Would spoil the effect a bit
14:48:05  <andythenorth> no it doesn't flip
14:48:25  <andythenorth> I don't get involved in shuffling train sprites around, current code is already at limit of complexity
14:48:27  <FLHerne> I know it's easy to disable for a single vehicle, wasn't sure if the whole train can
14:48:35  <andythenorth> if we want consist flip, game should do it
14:48:36  <FLHerne> Ok, nice :-)
14:48:39  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: the consist as a whole will still flip, but you can use newgrf tricks to hide that
14:48:39  <andythenorth> it's a level beyond newgrf
14:48:52  <FLHerne> Oh, I think I read your answer backwar
14:48:55  <andythenorth> sorry :)
14:49:00  <andythenorth> it behaves vanilla
14:49:06  <supermop_Home> maybe i'll try shunting patch again with these dvts
14:49:37  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] glx22 updated pull request #7270: Introduce CMake (and removing all other project-related code) https://git.io/fhbqc
14:49:40  <andythenorth> I'll do a gen 4 version
14:50:04  <glx> nic conflicts with $Id$ removal :)
14:50:08  <glx> *nice
14:50:09  <FLHerne> Eddi|zuHause: Yeah, but that's a lot of magic property-switching rather than just setting a flag :-/
14:50:40  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: yeah, the magic flag wasn't implemented yet. it needs some internal restructuring to handle cycling through wagons backwards
14:51:36  <supermop_Home> i'll have to abandon my almost fully built desert steeltown game
14:51:52  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: particularly, moving must flip between cycling forwards and backwards, but newgrf callbacks and stuff must always cycle forwards
14:51:59  <andythenorth> supermop_Home: I'll have to send you a grf :P
14:52:04  <andythenorth> no bundles any more :)
14:52:45  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: i believe frosch123 once had enthusiams to solve that, but then was met with a wall of "... but it must also support X"
14:52:59  * andythenorth wonders how it could be abstracted
14:53:01  <FLHerne> Business as usual, then
14:53:09  <andythenorth> reversing a list is....pretty vanilla :P
14:53:46  <andythenorth> where we doing VehicleVariants?
14:53:53  <andythenorth> or did I make that unappealing :(
14:53:57  <supermop_Home> just merge the shunting patch, lost wagons and low speed collisions and all
14:53:58  <andythenorth> were / where /s
14:54:08  <andythenorth> and a borderline toxic author
14:54:11  <andythenorth> always goes well
14:54:39  <FLHerne> I'd have thought the obvious thing would be to have a "don't reverse consist" flag on the leading engine, and I don't really see how that could be hacked into "...and also I want ponies"
14:54:52  <FLHerne> Well, I suppose 'do magically reverse consist'
14:55:10  <andythenorth> /me can instantly think of things
14:55:19  <andythenorth> like where does the tail light go?
14:55:19  <frosch123> https://www.tt-forums.net/download/file.php?id=168674&sid=6d7f84ce93d744eeb5c2493e5c51ec15
14:55:38  <FLHerne> Agh
14:55:48  <andythenorth> supermop_Home: so if I draw the cab car, I might as well include this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Classes_251_and_261#/media/File:Metropolitan-Cammell_eight-car_DMU,_last_down_Bristol_Pullman,_arriving_Bristol_Temple_Meads_5.5.1973_Scans712_(10510870995).jpg
14:55:48  <frosch123> i don't think i published that old patch on gh yet
14:56:41  <FLHerne> Oh, and I guess one might wish to force it with an order
14:56:52  <FLHerne> For 'reverse into a siding'
14:57:14  <FLHerne> And then you need a property to determine how fast the train can go backwards
14:57:40  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: that's more like shunting, though. and order list is already overloaded
14:57:49  <FLHerne> Eddi|zuHause: Well, yeah
14:59:24  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: i'd declare that "out of scope"
15:01:32  <andythenorth> hmm steep slopes are too hard to draw
15:01:39  <andythenorth> pixels not suited to it
15:05:43  *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC
15:10:13  * andythenorth sacks that cab car idea
15:10:46  <Eddi|zuHause> just make it a flat front?
15:13:12  <supermop_Home> on these old railway clearing house maps where every tiny hamlet seems to have 1 or two stations...
15:13:46  <supermop_Home> lots of towns also seem to have a little siding terminal named "(village) Goods"
15:14:25  <supermop_Home> were they delivering trainloads of manufactured products to all of these small towns?
15:14:42  <supermop_Home> or did these just serve some local light industry /agriculture
15:14:57  <Eddi|zuHause> ... what?
15:15:13  <supermop_Home> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheadle_Heath_railway_station#/media/File:Cheadle,_Chorlton,_Heaton_Mersey_&_Northenden_RJD_149.jpg
15:16:24  <Eddi|zuHause> i would assume some train making its round leaving single wagons behind
15:17:05  <Eddi|zuHause> and sporadically some farmer ordering a year's supply of fertilizer or stuff
15:19:11  <supermop_Home> … i can see why they ripped most of this up in the 60s
15:19:12  <michi_cc> supermop_Home: When most of these stations where built, a truck looked like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck#/media/File:DMG-Lastwagen_von_1896.jpg (lorry from 1896, diagramm from 1903).
15:19:23  *** Wormnest_ has quit IRC
15:19:37  <michi_cc> You don't t need to transport that much to make the railway seem superior.
15:21:14  <supermop_Home> i'm thinking more in terms of the time and effort to couple and decouple wagons everywhere
15:21:52  <supermop_Home> it seems like even by 1903 passenger traffic would be such you'd only be able to do this in the middle of the night
15:23:06  <FLHerne> supermop_Home: Pretty much every station used to have its own goods yard or siding
15:23:48  <FLHerne> Used for coal, fertilizer, agricultural products, whatever
15:23:57  <supermop_Home> if they'd had containers and little gantry cranes at each back then maybe more would survive
15:24:08  <Eddi|zuHause> supermop_Home: branch lines had combined passenger/freight trains
15:24:29  <FLHerne> There were a lot of loops, so it was quite easy to recess freight trains between passenger runs
15:26:32  <andythenorth> wagons were also storage
15:27:18  <FLHerne> supermop_Home: See https://www.s-r-s.org.uk/html/lnerdiagrams.htm#XP
15:28:05  <FLHerne> supermop_Home: Pick any random local station
