05:52:50  <planetmaker> http://paste.openttd.org/225682 <-- should that work that way, Yexo ?
05:53:07  <Yexo> yes
05:53:20  <Yexo> and I'm going to break ogfxplus again
05:53:24  <planetmaker> or rather: it doesn't seem for me... hm, then I need to check again
05:53:33  <planetmaker> Don't worry about breaking it ;-)
05:53:49  <Yexo> sprite_count being implied by a grf block is a good idea
05:53:50  <planetmaker> I consider it mostly a test grf for that purpose.
05:54:03  <planetmaker> Playing around needs some goal. Or makes it more satisfying
05:57:39  <planetmaker> @base 16 10 1B

06:03:33  <Yexo> planetmaker: that livery override works fine here
06:03:36  <Webster> Latest update from devactivity: Redmine - Revision 3526: Refactor: Move method to Query model <http://dev.openttdcoop.org:81/projects/redmine/repository/revisions/3526>
06:04:29  <Yexo> you can also enable the "cargo_type:                   PASS;" lines now if you pull the latest nml
06:08:12  <planetmaker> Nice :-) Though I actually prefer to work with classes instead of cargos directly whenever possible
06:10:18  <Yexo> of course, but since that's not always possible
06:10:29  <Yexo> the option has to be there to use cargos directly
06:10:55  <planetmaker> yes, I know
06:11:56  <Yexo> "non_refittable_cargo_classes: CC_ALL ^ CC_PASSENGERS;" <- that lines disables ecs tourists
06:11:56  <Yexo> is that intended?
06:12:36  <planetmaker> it does? Tourists are of passenger class, I thought?
06:14:26  <planetmaker> I want to say "all but passenger class"
06:14:26  <Yexo> yes, but a vehicle is only refittable if at least one cargoclass of the cargo is in refittable_cargo_classes and no cargoclasses of that cargo are in non_refittable_cargo_classes
06:14:27  <Yexo> you've now limited it to cargos that have only CC_PASSENGERS but no other class
06:15:21  <Yexo> tourists have both CC_PASSENGERS and CC_EXPRESS
06:15:37  <Yexo> refittable_cargo_classes:     CC_PASSENGERS; <- keep that, and set non_refittable_cargo_classes to 0
06:15:45  <planetmaker> hm, maybe I just should drop ... ^ yeah
06:15:50  <Yexo> that'll make the wagon refittable to all vehicles that are in the passenger-class
06:17:11  <planetmaker> better choice indeed

06:36:09  <Yexo> http://paste.openttd.org/225683 <- ok, doesn't make sense, but it works
06:38:20  <planetmaker> nice!
06:38:46  <planetmaker> still I don't see the livery override in the game. Though the generated nfo seems to be fine as far as I see... strange
06:38:58  <planetmaker> probably something really stupid :S
06:39:34  <Yexo> have you installed the new grf file?
06:39:43  <Yexo> maybe openttd still finds the old one somewhere?
06:40:47  <planetmaker> aaarg
06:40:49  <planetmaker> worse.
06:41:02  <planetmaker> The newgrf wasn't activated.
06:41:06  <Yexo> lol
06:48:34  <planetmaker> hm, I like livery override feature :-)

07:57:02  <planetmaker> thx Yexo. Applied
08:08:52  <Ammler> planetmaker: lang doesn't belong to source?
08:09:10  <planetmaker> I think it does.
08:10:13  <Yexo> Ammler: the lang/ directory contains all strings used in the nml file
08:12:18  <Ammler> Yexo: just wondering, why it isn't in the "source" directory
08:12:44  <Ammler> seems also like you need to preprocess it...
08:12:57  <Ammler> (-r1)
08:14:31  <planetmaker> Ammler, yes, the Name string would need to be added by the makefile
08:14:31  <planetmaker> or by a separate addition token
08:16:41  <Ammler> stxt -> sed :-)
08:17:11  <Ammler> or nml could support something like that...
08:18:15  <Yexo> what should it support for that?
08:18:28  <Yexo> nml has no knowledge about revision numbers etc.
08:19:02  <Rubidium> has shinkansen :) 'defines'?
08:19:09  <Yexo> no
08:20:10  <Rubidium> too bad, then one could've just passed something like -DVERSION="12345" to it
08:20:44  <Yexo> even if it had defines those probably wouldn't be supported in the language files
08:21:42  <Ammler> also if you name items, you might also be able to define ids in a separate step?
08:24:56  <Ammler> it isn't possible to split nml in multiple files?
08:25:38  <Yexo> not yet
08:25:38  <Yexo> not sure if that should be supported
08:26:00  <Yexo> erm, not sure if that should be supported in nml or if you should just use gpp for that
08:32:13  <Yexo> hmm, a few #include / #ifdef / #endif / #define should be pretty easy to code
08:44:11  <Webster> Latest update from devactivity: NFO Meta Language - Revision 125: Fix: if you give an item-block the same name as an already exis... <http://dev.openttdcoop.org:81/projects/nml/repository/revisions/125>
09:09:31  <planetmaker> Yexo, concerning version I think about the lines of adding a (new) string tag. And a separate function which gives this tag a meaning / a string value
09:09:40  <planetmaker> Does that sound like a reasonable approach?
09:10:10  <planetmaker> so one could have something like in default.txt: STR_NAME: My Fancy Newgrf {VERSION}
09:13:00  <planetmaker> and have a function which takes care to translate {VERSION} into nightly-rXX or 0.3.1
09:13:14  <planetmaker> like moving the version thing from the makefile to nml
09:14:03  <planetmaker> {version} would have to return rev000 or alike, if no repo is found. Similar to the findversion.sh from OpenTTD
09:16:32  <Ammler> shouldn't you generate a file like rev.nml?
09:18:43  <planetmaker> hm, not sure.
09:19:04  <planetmaker> I don't quite see how that works as the version has to be available as string
09:21:51  <Ammler> rev.nml has "VERSION=r34" or whatever the syntax of python/nml is
09:22:13  <Ammler> quite similar to openttd
09:24:50  <planetmaker> hm, that way, defining a global variable. Even better idea, yes
09:25:42  <planetmaker> it just needs a default value which can get overwritten.
09:30:54  <Ammler> well, it needs support for include, that's all imo :-)
10:24:13  <planetmaker> yes... that's definitely needed :-)
10:45:48  <Ammler> the less you need cpp, the better :-)

11:05:04  <planetmaker> Yexo, I'm thinking of something along these lines in order to access the repo version: http://paste.openttd.org/225684
11:05:58  <planetmaker> If that kind of approach is acceptable, I'd add handling of both, tags and the absense of a repository

13:10:19  *** Seberoth has joined #openttdcoop.devzone
13:37:26  <Yexo> planetmaker: the {VERSION} tag is fine, but I'd rather not have the "nightly" string hardcoded in there
13:37:44  <Yexo> maybe get_version() could read the complete version string from some file? (which could then be written by the makefile)
13:37:55  <Yexo> that way it'll also work for release versions
13:42:46  <Ammler> I wouldn't hardcode nothing
13:43:01  <Ammler> just alow substitutes
13:43:18  <Ammler> anything* allow*
13:45:49  <Yexo> alternative: read (yeat another input file) extra_string_tags (need a good name), which has a syntax like "VERSION: nightly-r3\nOTHER_TAG: something"
13:46:20  <Yexo> after reading that file both {FERSION} and {OTHER_TAG} are valid tags to be used in language files (just string-replaces

14:39:15  <planetmaker> Yexo, fine, I'll make a version file which is read. Sounds nice to me.
14:39:38  <planetmaker> That then can be used by the makefile, too in order to be used in other places (like readme generation)
14:39:54  <Yexo> will you only need it for the version or for other defines too? otherwise a define file might be better
14:40:26  <planetmaker> hm... might be useful to transfer other things possibly, too.
14:41:31  <planetmaker> but I don't know anything right now which would be needed
14:41:46  <Yexo> file textcodes.txt with format "ID:text"? where {ID} in language files will be replaced by text
14:46:19  <planetmaker> well, possibly.
14:47:06  <Yexo> let's do just a version file for now, it's easier and if we need more later we'll implement it then
14:48:45  <Ammler> well, then you can as good sed the lang file
14:50:03  <planetmaker> Ok, for now the version will be sufficient. Or we'd make it more complicated than necessary. If you like I'll implement that today or tomorrow
14:50:06  <Ammler> imo, a bit overkill to implement a special case for just one substitute
14:50:28  <planetmaker> Ammler, not really :-) It's something which is bound to change for every commit ;-)
14:50:51  <Ammler> yes, but you can simply sed the lang file for exmple, like you do now
14:52:02  <planetmaker> well... But that needs writing sed scripts and I'm not too happy about the current sed way of doing that.
