22:18:31  <planetmaker> hello
22:18:57  <andythenorth> spooky timing
22:19:45  <PeterT> why?
22:20:03  <andythenorth> I'm trying to make the pre-processor do something
22:20:15  <andythenorth> also, planetmaker....did you have a good weekend?
22:20:27  <planetmaker> yes, quite awesome :-)
22:20:41  <planetmaker> Have been visiting a friend whom I didn't see for... like 15 months or so
22:21:10  <andythenorth> nice
22:22:56  <planetmaker> andythenorth: what do you try to tell the pre-processor?
22:23:01  <planetmaker> and where?
22:23:10  <andythenorth> industry template production code
22:23:14  <planetmaker> Like... I might be awake for another 30 minutes and use it productively :-)
22:23:49  <andythenorth> I have a production boost cargo...it's cargo  01 or 02 (2nd or 3rd respectively)
22:24:15  <andythenorth> I have defined it as \b01 and used it to attach cargo subtexts ok
22:24:23  <andythenorth> however
22:24:58  <andythenorth> to check cargo waiting I need to use var 41 or 42 for those cargos
22:25:08  <andythenorth> I tried some dumb string concatenation, but that doesn't work
22:25:16  <andythenorth> I don't want duplicate defines
22:25:21  <andythenorth> seems like a simple problem?
22:25:58  <planetmaker> he... you got some sample code, even if not working?
22:26:09  *** ODM has quit IRC
22:26:51  <andythenorth> I'll paste
22:27:35  <andythenorth> http://paste.openttd.org/220976
22:27:42  <andythenorth> planetmaker: lines 10 and 182 in the paste work
22:28:27  <andythenorth> I haven't written the cargo check code yet, this is an adaptation of an existing working template
22:29:11  <andythenorth> however line 133 shows where I need to replace the '41'
22:29:37  <andythenorth> I think there's a vartaction 2 way to do it, but it seems unnecessary
22:31:35  <andythenorth> planetmaker: ^^
22:33:51  <planetmaker> hm....
22:34:59  <planetmaker> andythenorth: #
22:35:00  <planetmaker> #
22:35:02  <planetmaker>     STR_INFO_LIMIT_800 80 THIS_PROD_BOOST_CARGO THIS_PROD_BOOST_CARGO
22:35:03  <planetmaker> ^^^ twice the same string concatenated?
22:35:20  <andythenorth> it's a varaction 2 range
22:35:42  <andythenorth> that bit works fine
22:36:01  <andythenorth> it's when I need to print 41 instead of \b01 that I'm stumped
22:36:15  <andythenorth> seems like an easy string concatenation...
22:36:32  <andythenorth> I don't mind also two defines if that's just faster to produce, but seems less robust...
22:36:35  <planetmaker> what's 41, again?
22:36:44  <andythenorth> industry variable for 2nd cargo
22:36:50  <andythenorth> (cargo waiting)
22:37:40  <planetmaker> k. Thx. So you want to print the cargo which is waiting under which condition?
22:39:47  <andythenorth> so in line 133 of the paste, it would print 41 there.  It might be hard to see the case as the code isn't written yet... :)
22:40:55  <andythenorth> if THIS_PROD_BOOST_CARGO was defined as 2 or 02 or \b02 or whatever, it would print 42
22:42:49  <planetmaker> we cannot use additive constants - then it'd be easy. So... I guess using two is easier for now
22:43:04  <planetmaker> you find more and more good points for python2nfo ;-)
22:43:26  <andythenorth> python indeed
22:44:29  <andythenorth> industry[prod_boost_num + 40] or industry.getProperty(prod_boost_num + 40) or industry.getCargoWaiting(prod_boost_num)
22:44:31  <andythenorth> for example
22:45:10  <planetmaker> yes. somehow like that
22:45:52  <andythenorth> industry.cargo_waiting[prod_boost_num]
22:46:05  * planetmaker wonders whether I should use FIRS to start experimenting with python ;-)
22:46:13  <andythenorth> I'm sure there's a list comprehension to be included somewhere
22:46:33  <planetmaker> can you rephrase?
22:46:52  <andythenorth> I just like list comprehensions.  they are beautiful and strange
22:47:21  <andythenorth> [i.waiting for i in industry.cargos][prod_boost_num] for example
22:47:57  <planetmaker> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_comprehension <-- ok, I was missing the definition / meaning of that word :-)
22:47:58  <Webster> Title: List comprehension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org)
22:48:15  <planetmaker> but very helpful
22:49:39  <andythenorth> ok, so I'm going to use 2 defines for my problem
22:49:58  <andythenorth> btw, if you pull FIRS, you can see how I've handled tiles and layouts for different terrains :)
22:50:31  <planetmaker> :-)
22:50:37  * planetmaker goes pulling it
22:51:35  <planetmaker> btw, did you successfully compile a somewhat recent trunk / install lzo2 library?
22:52:04  <planetmaker> it needed some manual symlinks in my dir structure from /opt/local/... to /usr/local/...
22:52:18  <andythenorth> I don't seem to need it
22:52:23  <planetmaker> as the default macport path wasn't really found :S
22:53:23  <planetmaker> :-O r 535 already!
22:53:30  <planetmaker> you've been _really_ busy
22:53:53  <Rubidium> planetmaker: yes I did
22:53:56  <andythenorth> Irwe was busy drawing snow
22:54:03  <Rubidium> or do you mean applesoft stuff?
22:54:29  <planetmaker> Rubidium: yes I meant actually andythenorth :-) I don't suspect you to use macports ;-)
22:56:35  <planetmaker> For automatic detection on my system with the default installs it'd need to check for /opt/local and its sub folders, too
22:57:00  <planetmaker> (the usual sub folders like also found in /usr/local )
22:57:37  <planetmaker> But I'm not entirely sure whether it's me having only setup wrongly some paths...
22:59:14  <planetmaker> andythenorth: I hope you made good commit messages :-) I'll try to follow your work by reading them :-)
23:00:19  <andythenorth> I think they're ok, it's pretty repetitive work.
23:00:27  <planetmaker> he, look like
23:00:40  <planetmaker> adding / changing all the snow stuff
23:00:42  <andythenorth> A few times I have bogus commits, due to hitting 'up' in the terminal, then enter and repeating my commit :o
23:00:55  <planetmaker> oh
23:03:21  <planetmaker> but it doesn't show at least on first sight ;-)
23:03:35  <planetmaker> what's the difference between the three sandpit_tiles_*.pnfo files?
23:04:04  <andythenorth> two variations
23:04:21  <andythenorth> ground tile type
23:04:36  <andythenorth> one will feature snow sprites
23:04:51  <andythenorth> which don't exist yet.  The sandpit is a bit work-in-progress
23:04:52  <planetmaker> but... ground tile # is always the same, isn't it?
23:04:57  <andythenorth> no
23:05:10  <andythenorth> it's 3981 or 4550 (iirc) depending on terrain type
23:05:28  <planetmaker> right, forgot.
23:05:46  <andythenorth> there should also be a 'mixed' type, but the variable doesn't seem to support it
23:06:30  <planetmaker> but I still don't understand the distinction. A single action2 should take care of that, not three different files?
23:06:46  <andythenorth> ??
23:06:48  <planetmaker> Or what is the idea?
23:07:33  <andythenorth> separating the code makes the main industry code easier to work with.  It means I don't have to see *many* lines of tile code in the main code
23:08:07  <andythenorth> it's slightly different for the industries where there are snow sprites, it should make more sense
23:08:43  <andythenorth> the pcx file definitions are together with the tiles, and that is better
23:09:07  <andythenorth> hmm
23:09:12  <planetmaker> ah, I see it now.
23:09:20  <andythenorth> those even could be more efficient
23:09:33  <planetmaker> Basically it's just getting rid of zillion of action2 lines
23:09:38  <planetmaker> but it might be templated ;-)
23:09:42  <andythenorth> it could be templated
23:09:42  <planetmaker> THIS_GROUND_TILE
23:09:46  <planetmaker> :-D
23:09:48  <andythenorth> yes
23:09:50  <andythenorth> ideally
23:09:59  <andythenorth> not too hard
23:11:37  <planetmaker> indeed.
23:12:11  <andythenorth> the duplication of tiles between files is redundant
23:12:22  <andythenorth> even the pcx file paths might be template-able
23:12:33  <andythenorth> I've stuck to a convention
23:13:13  <planetmaker> :-)
23:14:11  <planetmaker> well... can it be re-used by other industries?
23:14:18  <planetmaker> If no: not sure whether it's worth it
23:15:14  <andythenorth> pcx is only worth it if it's trivial to substitute the file name as a define
23:15:34  <andythenorth> it reduces to 1 the number of places to go tweak offsets etc
23:15:48  <andythenorth> (for each industry)
23:16:35  <andythenorth> anyway, it's probably bed time for me
23:16:53  <planetmaker> yep. Btw, I'll add a global define:
23:16:56  <planetmaker> #define GROUNDSPRITE_NORMAL \d3981
23:16:58  <planetmaker> #define GROUNDSPRITE_SNOW   \d4550
23:16:59  <planetmaker> #define GROUNDSPRITE_DESERT GROUNDSPRITE_SNOW
23:17:05  <planetmaker> better readable ;-)
23:17:19  <andythenorth> yes indeed
23:17:20  <andythenorth> thanks
23:17:55  <andythenorth> good night
23:20:34  <andythenorth> oh one last thing - I've solved the '41' or '42' define problem - the prod boost cargo can simply always be in slot 3 for these industries :)
23:24:55  <planetmaker> :-)
23:25:00  <planetmaker> good solution. And good night
