09:31:31  <Ammler> planetmaker: did you ever nforenum the swr nfo?
09:36:41  <planetmaker> never
09:37:06  <planetmaker> and why should I? renum doesn't support rail types...
09:37:15  <planetmaker> as such it'll complain big time
10:00:09  *** ODM has quit IRC
10:22:06  *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttdcoop.devzone
10:24:55  <Ammler> well, it isn't worth to spend more time to the ttdp issue
10:33:35  <planetmaker> well... for SE rails it'd be worth it. Otherwise there's no point drawing all those level crossings...
10:35:09  <Ammler> nobody complained about it isn't working in patch
10:35:20  <Ammler> so either I have another setup or nobody is using it
10:38:42  <planetmaker> I'd count on the latter :-)
10:39:20  * Ammler too
10:41:32  <Rubidium> Q: does SAC use it yet?
10:42:36  <Rubidium> Q: have you looked in the screenshots forum recently?
10:43:55  <Rubidium> A: no, I haven't recently... TTDP screenshot threads have almost all fallen of the first page. TTDP really nearing its dead?
10:46:20  <planetmaker> might well be. Despite I'll ask wallyweb
10:47:40  <planetmaker> indeed ever since DaleStan disappeared it got *really* silent around TTDP
10:48:01  <planetmaker> no commit in 6 weeks
10:55:17  <Rubidium> yeah... momentum got seriously killed
10:55:35  <Ammler> well, it died since patchman leaft
10:55:38  <Ammler> left*
10:56:00  <Ammler> it was mainly a one-man-project
10:57:50  <Rubidium> JGR and ... were working on it as well
10:57:58  <Rubidium> or do you mean nforenum/grfcodec?
10:58:26  <planetmaker> Rubidium: I do have a feature request concerning music: make the setting 'mix' the deault one. Or is it?
10:58:44  <Ammler> well, but he still kept the project leader
10:58:48  <Ammler> without beeing online
10:58:57  <planetmaker> And no, I talked about TTDP. But Lackie and JGR didn't do much either recently.
10:58:58  <Ammler> that would be like Darkvater would still lead openttd
10:59:13  <planetmaker> And Patchman didn't transfer his responsibilities when he became more and more scarce
10:59:27  <Ammler> ^
10:59:51  <Rubidium> but it's killed due to lack of releases
10:59:59  <Rubidium> and nobody has the balls to pick that up
11:00:03  *** dan123 has joined #openttdcoop.devzone
11:00:09  <Ammler> yes, that's what I mean
11:01:08  <Ammler> well, since openttd supports almost everything what patch does, patch is only about hacking a game, not playing anymore
11:01:26  <Ammler> so there is no reason for player to chose it
11:02:06  <Rubidium> magic signals, bridgeheads, crap over tunnels?
11:02:12  <Ammler> :-D
11:02:29  <Ammler> yeah, I wouldn't mind, if you include those features :-P
11:02:39  <Ammler> at least bridgeheads
11:02:44  <planetmaker> :-P
11:04:36  <planetmaker> I guess as usual: anyone is free to supply a good version of CBR :-)
11:05:01  <planetmaker> but indeed it might be needed to consider it separately from building over tunnel heads
11:05:17  <planetmaker> Might both become a newgrf feature actually...
11:05:51  <planetmaker> only allowed when the rail (tunnels) or bridge newgrf support them by supplying appropriate sprites
11:06:05  <Ammler> it is a nice feature, but not really required for the bigger openttd maps
11:06:26  <planetmaker> yes. But in towns it's nice :-)
11:06:46  <Ammler> if you could build a road over the tunnel, yes :-P
11:08:09  <planetmaker> well, that's what you need a newgrf variable for :-)
11:08:33  <planetmaker> then you could supply the appropriate sprites depending upon circumstances
11:08:45  <planetmaker> though it most probably still needs some default handling
11:10:50  <planetmaker> hm, one should update libpng...
11:11:00  <Ammler> where?
11:11:11  <planetmaker> http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Kritische-Luecke-in-PNG-Referenz-Bibliothek-geschlossen-1029939.html
11:11:13  <Webster> Title: heise online - Kritische Lücke in PNG-Referenz-Bibliothek geschlossen (at www.heise.de)
11:21:25  <Hirundo> planetmaker: where did you use a random-block? I'd like some example code for in the docs
11:21:56  <planetmaker> In unpublished code so far ;-)
11:22:01  <planetmaker> let me give you the diffs
11:22:55  <Hirundo> did you use anything complicated (triggers/ (in)dependence) ?
11:23:13  <planetmaker> nope
11:23:32  <planetmaker> http://paste.openttd.org/226030 <-- it might not even apply as it was cut out from a bigger patch
11:23:48  <planetmaker> railtypes don't have those and with four bits... not much point
11:24:02  <planetmaker> *two bits
11:26:01  <Hirundo> I'll make up something big, complicated and most likely utterly useless in real life :)
11:26:10  <planetmaker> http://paste.openttd.org/226032 <-- this one definitely applies, but is much more voluminous
11:26:47  <planetmaker> but big, convoluted and voluminous means not using rail types, but industries or so
11:27:39  <planetmaker> Hirundo: what about actually renaming it to random_switch?
11:27:57  <planetmaker> I think it would really be more intuitive :-)
11:31:18  <Hirundo> Fine with me

13:04:40  <planetmaker> the 2nd version should be &, right?
13:05:30  <Hirundo> no, bitmasks are 'assembled' using |
13:05:56  <Hirundo> TRIGGER_ALL is, in essence, just another bit (0x80)
13:07:24  <planetmaker> oh. I guess that needs making more clear :-)

15:20:03  <DJNekkid> anyone know any artists who is good at "snowifying" buildings?
15:20:34  <Ammler> irwe
15:20:45  <DJNekkid> thats what i thought :) TY :D
15:20:49  <DJNekkid> i'll send him a PM
15:21:17  <Ammler> you are going to make a snowy house set?
15:21:29  <DJNekkid> no
15:21:46  <DJNekkid> but one of the ones i did selct for the artic subways didnt have a snowy version :)
15:21:55  <DJNekkid> i am NO drawer :)
15:47:27  <planetmaker> don't steal my drawer, DJNekkid :-P
15:47:49  <planetmaker> he's got many ground tiles and fences to do still :-P
15:48:02  <DJNekkid> one loucy building with some snow? :)
15:50:03  <planetmaker> :-)
15:50:23  <planetmaker> but I wonder why you don't take snow-aware buildings from the base set in the first place?
15:50:38  <DJNekkid> i thought i did :)
15:51:24  <planetmaker> but it doesn' work?
15:51:31  <DJNekkid> sure it does
15:51:40  <DJNekkid> but i lacked one highrise with snow :)
15:51:47  <planetmaker> ah :-)
15:52:09  <DJNekkid> if you look in ogfx1_base.pcx
15:52:18  <planetmaker> btw, DJNekkid your idea with using the random bits to stretch the introduction date: genious
15:52:27  <DJNekkid> sprite 4444 needs snow :)
15:52:35  <DJNekkid> thanx! :D
15:52:36  <planetmaker> I use it now to stretch introduction of modern level crossings over 15 years :-)
15:52:37  <DJNekkid> i try :D
15:53:28  <planetmaker> and I still ponder whether to do the same with depots in all cases. I guess so... :-)
15:53:54  <planetmaker> and when they're then also used on fences... it'll be awesome :-)
15:53:57  <DJNekkid> new ones are made modern, and the old ones get upgraded slowly? :)
15:54:03  <planetmaker> But there I use them just for random effects without year
15:54:40  <planetmaker> it's a tile-based effect. So every 5 years 1/4 of the tiles is upgraded to modern
15:54:50  <planetmaker> nothing else possible with level crossings
15:54:53  <DJNekkid> yea
15:54:55  <DJNekkid> i know
15:55:00  <DJNekkid> same i do with subway buildings
15:55:06  <planetmaker> :-)
15:55:10  <DJNekkid> well, not exactly the same, but the idea is the same

15:56:50  <DJNekkid> wow, snowy buildings have ALOT of pure white!
15:57:07  <planetmaker> hm... they shouldn't.
15:57:34  <DJNekkid> based on opengfx 0.2.1
15:58:18  <planetmaker> ehm... the sprites actually being used should not have pure white
15:58:24  <planetmaker> sprites NOT used might have
15:58:31  <planetmaker> like in the source dir
15:58:34  <Rubidium> pure whites = bad
15:58:41  <planetmaker> we know :-)
15:59:53  <DJNekkid> then grfcodec makes stuff "pure white"
16:01:21  <Rubidium> file a bug report at Dale
16:01:51  <planetmaker> DJNekkid: dunno... it really depends which sprites you took...
16:01:51  <Brot6> Nutracks - Revision 79:f3cc30b5ec5f: Add: Snowy high buildings (DJNekkid) @ http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/nutracks/repository/revisions/f3cc30b5ec5f
16:03:10  <DJNekkid> sprite 4586 and 87 in ofgxbase
16:03:17  <DJNekkid> for example
16:03:49  <Rubidium> 0.2.1 is an extremely old version
16:03:56  <DJNekkid> hmm
16:04:02  <DJNekkid> actually
16:04:18  <DJNekkid> when in the ....base.pc they are fc:fc:fc
16:04:30  <DJNekkid> but when copied to mspaint and then back its ff:ff:ff
16:05:06  <planetmaker> wrong palette conversion
16:05:49  <DJNekkid> but mspaint should handle them in 32bit or something, while i.mage is in 8bit ttd-plaette
16:07:00  <DJNekkid> wow, irwe is fast :)
16:08:06  <planetmaker> use gimp :-)
16:08:13  <planetmaker> yes, Irwe is very responsive

16:33:38  <planetmaker> do you assume a particular slot?
16:35:59  <planetmaker> hm... maybe as I had them default be railtypes 0x0A and 0x0B. Maybe I should change that
16:36:30  <planetmaker> because then it works as intended. Mostly

16:52:37  <Ammler> :-)
16:52:46  <planetmaker> I thought I could, but I can't. It's a locked user now.
16:52:52  <dan123> planetmaker: I'll look around and tell when I'm ready :)
16:53:13  <planetmaker> dan123: please do :-)
16:54:02  <planetmaker> I mean... I'm personally quite fine with giving you access there when you plan to contribute more to the set
16:54:57  <dan123> hmm, currently I've got no idea what to do beyond what I've done so far
16:55:01  <planetmaker> But as it's mainly DJ Nekkid's project he should have the last say. That's the main reason why I didn't activate that :-)
16:55:10  <dan123> ok, no problem
16:57:45  <planetmaker> dan123: your patch file doesn't apply for me...
16:59:00  <dan123> hmm, I created it with r557
16:59:42  <dan123> can you give me a hint what might be wrong with it?
17:00:00  <planetmaker> I don't know. Maybe line endings not unix style...
17:00:04  <planetmaker> but it's just a first guess
17:00:15  <dan123> they are unix style :)
17:00:27  <dan123> unless my debian is playing me some pranks :P
17:00:53  <dan123> i made it with:
17:00:53  <dan123> hg diff > patch.diff
17:01:00  <planetmaker> should work
17:01:33  <planetmaker> does the patch work for you on a clean repo?
17:02:03  <dan123> I'll check
17:05:15  <Ammler> dan123: thanks for notify about the mail issue
17:05:17  <Ammler> fixed :-)
17:05:34  <planetmaker> :-)
17:05:50  <Ammler> does hg diff also output changes int eh excel?
17:06:03  <dan123> I didn't change excel file
17:06:15  <dan123> there are correct weights in there
17:06:54  <planetmaker> Ammler: it doesn't. And actually it doesn't produce output for any binary files. Which sucks majorly
17:07:04  <Ammler> hmm
17:07:07  <planetmaker> I nearly destroyed half an hour of work on graphics
17:07:11  <planetmaker> luckily gimp was still open
17:07:23  <Ammler> I just read about binary changes in the mozilla page:
17:07:48  <planetmaker> having a diff format which would support that... would be awesome for patches which include sprites
17:07:59  <planetmaker> But... they'de be unreadable
17:08:09  <Ammler> Ensure you use the git diff format. Otherwise you will lose any changes to binary files.
17:08:40  <Ammler> ""*
17:08:54  <planetmaker> http://paste.openttd.org/226033 <-- that's what I get with the patch as from the forums, dan123
17:09:08  <planetmaker> hm, does git store binary changes?
17:09:28  <dan123> strange
17:11:46  <dan123> planetmaker: well... it works on clean 2cctrainset sources on my comp
17:11:56  <planetmaker> hm
17:12:48  <planetmaker> your patch tells me that it was made against the same hash as I use
17:13:02  <planetmaker> which should in all cases give a working diff...
17:14:01  <dan123> I've got no idea what might be wrong :/
17:15:49  <planetmaker> oh well... seems to be some broken download here it seems.
17:16:22  <planetmaker> it does apply now
17:16:53  <planetmaker> and commited
17:16:55  <dan123> :)
17:17:56  <planetmaker> DJNekkid: beware, I commited to 2cctrainset :-) Pull before you continue ;-)

17:18:47  * dan123 is proud
17:18:52  <planetmaker> :-)
17:19:26  <planetmaker> you can be. You just started your possible carreer as contributor to the OpenTTD community :-)
17:23:18  <planetmaker> dan123: if you're looking for easy things to do first: there are some things which could be done especially in OpenGFX...
17:23:42  <dan123> I've got *no* talent in drawing :)
17:23:46  <planetmaker> Like we have for ages some slightly updated vehicle sprites
17:23:59  <planetmaker> They 'just' need to be added in order to replace the existing ones
17:24:06  <planetmaker> No, I'm NOT talking about drawing :-)
17:24:15  <dan123> hmm, I'll look into it
17:24:39  <dan123> in some days (after my exams)
17:24:58  <planetmaker> It might involve re-arranging the sprites for more convenience, but... that's not pixel art :-)
17:26:58  <dan123> hmm, 2cctrainset doesn't seem to be translated into Polish - that's some work for me :)
17:34:17  <planetmaker> of course :-)
17:34:31  <planetmaker> you can do the same for FIRS

17:47:31  <Ammler> was webman able to run swr with patch?
17:47:59  <planetmaker> wallyweb?
17:48:01  <planetmaker> nope
17:48:05  <planetmaker> same results as you got
17:48:25  <planetmaker> I added to the NML bug report frosch(?) opened the findings
17:48:32  <planetmaker> I think it's somehow with the parameter handling
17:57:54  <Ammler> then we can say, my ttdp installation is fine :-)
17:58:12  <planetmaker> yep
18:07:33  <planetmaker> he... newgrf_makefile failing to bundle_zip is due to sloppy regex :-)
18:07:48  <planetmaker> 'grf' is in the name of the filename stem, too
18:08:04  <planetmaker> and ".grf" != "\.grf"
18:08:30  <Ammler> :-)
18:08:59  <Ammler> but \.grf = .grf :-P
18:09:45  <planetmaker> :-P
18:11:02  <planetmaker> But... so... shall I not tar in bundle_zip and have OpenGFX have all the grf just in its sub-dir, not tar'ed?
18:12:16  <planetmaker> I know you answered it in the bug tracker ;-)

18:30:16  <Ammler> do you all have disabled mail notifications?
18:36:16  <Ammler> planetmaker: lock is not delete
18:36:47  <Ammler> I run a script which does automatically delete users which don't activate
19:06:42  <planetmaker> Actually I haven't deactivated them... but I guess I look often enough ;-)
19:06:58  <Ammler> you can't
19:07:05  <Ammler> the only thing is lock
19:09:53  <planetmaker> yes, I can't delete, just lock
19:37:40  <dan123> what encoding should I use in language files? In how-to it says utf-8, but when I use utf-8 I get something like that: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/zrzutekranu-28062010-213448.php

19:40:26  <dan123> Polish special characters are interpreted incorrectly

19:41:27  <Brot6> NewGRF Meta Language - Feature #995: Handle errors more gracefully (planetmaker) @ http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/995#change-2740
19:41:54  <planetmaker> dan123: UTF-8 is what is needed
19:42:24  <planetmaker> But in grfs strings have to be indicated as UTF-8...
19:42:41  <dan123> that might be the problem
19:42:53  <planetmaker> that was FIRS or 2cctrainset?
19:43:24  <dan123> 2cctrainset
19:43:34  <planetmaker> hm
19:44:00  <planetmaker> dan123: try to have the first character of your string be the thorn
19:44:38  <dan123> thorn? (sorry to ask question after question)
19:45:29  <planetmaker> Þ
19:46:05  <Brot6> NewGRF Meta Language - Feature #995: Handle errors more gracefully (yexo) @ http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/995#change-2741
19:47:50  <planetmaker> ^ the thorn sign indicates that the rest is to be interpreted as UTF-8
19:47:54  <planetmaker> in newgrf-strings
19:53:01  <Brot6> NewGRF Meta Language - Feature #967 (Closed): Random action2 (Hirundo) @ http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/967#change-2742
19:57:27  <Ammler> native utf-8 support might be something for v8 :-)
19:58:06  <dan123> Þ sign at beginning of a string doesn't change a thing :/
19:59:50  <planetmaker> Ammler: yeah... possibly a good idea
20:03:51  <Terkhen> dan123: FIRS adds C3 9E before UTF-8 strings (C3 9E "String" 00), but it should be equivalent to using Þ
20:04:18  <planetmaker> it is
20:04:41  <Ammler> hmm, but nml is utf-8, isn't?
20:04:51  <planetmaker> but a translator cannot easily add C3 9E :-) - but easily the thorn
20:04:53  <planetmaker> Ammler: yes
20:04:57  <planetmaker> it adds it automatically
20:05:20  <Ammler> so easier to use nml then convert to utf-8 :-)

22:02:47  <planetmaker> moin yexo :-)
22:02:57  <Yexo> hey planetmaker
22:13:08  <dan123> hey planetmaker, I figured out what I did wrong with those encodings
22:14:09  <dan123> problem is, to make a remotely proper translation I'd need to remake almost all stuff in strings section
22:14:59  <planetmaker> how so?
22:15:24  <dan123> well, order of words would be awkward otherwise
22:15:27  <dan123> for one
22:15:38  <Ammler> simply make all strings utf-8
22:15:43  <dan123> second - I'd need to put utf everywhere
22:16:14  <dan123> I'm more concerned with order of words
22:16:36  <planetmaker> hm... what strings are a problem?
22:16:51  <dan123> for example names of wagons
22:17:18  <planetmaker> it's just one name... one string. How can it be a problem?
22:17:22  <dan123> Polish with it's insane grammar just doesn't fit
22:17:25  <planetmaker> or do I err?
22:17:31  <dan123> let me see
22:18:08  <dan123> there is one for every wagon, that's just mudane work
22:18:40  <dan123> it's more about reworking some nice defs somebody made
22:19:06  <dan123> it looks like some kind of framework for translations
22:19:42  <planetmaker> it is, yes
22:19:57  <dan123> and Polish won't fit :)
22:19:58  <planetmaker> but it might have been a bit ... not too well maintained.
22:20:05  <dan123> yea
22:20:47  <dan123> I'm trying to figure out how to make a decent addition
22:21:15  <planetmaker> the language processing is making heavy use of gcc preprocessing
22:21:21  <dan123> and slowly I come to think of making my laguage file completely independent
22:21:41  <dan123> but that'll make it harder to maintain
22:21:48  <planetmaker> that's not desirable at all
22:21:51  <dan123> and there's my dillema :)
22:22:15  <planetmaker> the strings are so "non-sentence" that I find it hard to believe that a name cannot be translated to Polish...
22:22:46  <planetmaker> again, can you point me at what is a problem?
22:23:27  <dan123> if translation fits into framework -> it'll be awkward and I mean what I write
22:23:38  <Ammler> dan123: make a example
22:24:09  <DJNekkid> the translation framework is supposed to make translations easier, but who knows :)
22:24:36  <dan123> 1 gen intercity coach
22:24:52  <planetmaker> that's one string afaik, right?
22:25:06  <dan123> for every kind of wagon
22:25:15  <dan123> and again one for every mtu
22:25:37  <Rubidium> planetmaker: 1st generation intercity coach would be 4 separate strings in 2ccts
22:25:47  <Rubidium> planetmaker: http://hg.openttdcoop.org/2cctrainset/file/0372988e7e94/sprites/nfo/strings/7F_english.pnfo#l25
22:26:30  <planetmaker> oh... right. My knowledge about the structure there was outdated :-)
22:26:34  <Rubidium> also a free tip: run it through a spellchecker
22:26:42  <planetmaker> And then I see that it's a trouble to translate
22:26:43  <dan123> :D
22:27:01  <planetmaker> one name = one string = one translation should be better
22:27:07  <dan123> yea
22:27:20  <dan123> and that means reworking whole thing
22:27:29  <dan123> not that I can't do that
22:27:51  <dan123> but I don't want to do it and *then* ask if it was a good idea :)
22:28:01  <planetmaker> it is a good idea
22:28:35  <planetmaker> you might want to look at FIRS
22:28:44  <dan123> I do look at it :)
22:28:46  <planetmaker> I think it has a good translation framework
22:29:19  <planetmaker> but... I looked at the translation frameworks ... over a year ago or so
22:29:22  <dan123> you think that adapting it to trainset would be ok?
22:29:23  <planetmaker> and they changed
22:29:27  <dan123> oh
22:29:48  <planetmaker> a framework is independent of how the grf utilizes the strings
22:30:18  <planetmaker> or a good one mostly is :-)
22:30:49  <dan123> I'll try to put something like that in a few days and let you guys know
22:31:37  <planetmaker> no rush :-)
22:32:06  <dan123> a few days == no rush :D
22:32:52  <Rubidium> what planetmaker meant was: "it'll be ready when it's ready" :)
22:33:09  <planetmaker> :-)
22:33:20  <Rubidium> so now the question is: will it be ready when it's ready?
22:33:26  <planetmaker> :-D
22:35:53  <dan123> I hope so
22:36:10  <dan123> I'm debian user deep in my heart
22:36:57  *** Seberoth has quit IRC
22:37:05  <Rubidium> so what's you're favourite Toy Story character?
22:37:17  <dan123> currently squeeze
22:37:26  <dan123> at least on my laptop
22:39:04  * Rubidium favours Sid... although uses Lenny for servers
22:40:25  <Ammler> so you still play with openttd 0.6.2 :-D
22:41:03  <Rubidium> no, I favour 0.3.5 for MP!
22:41:05  <dan123> there is 1.0.1 in squeeze  :)
22:41:23  <dan123> and as for sid, I'm too lazy :P
22:41:42  <Ammler> ah, just because we talked about it in the other channel...
22:41:50  <Ammler> (ignore me)
22:43:49  <dan123> DJNekkid: what do you think about rewriting translation framework to make it more flexible?
22:44:28  <DJNekkid> sure! :D
22:44:34  <dan123> :)
22:45:00  <DJNekkid> any parts you like or dislike?
22:45:07  <Yexo> http://paste.openttd.org/226040 this grf crashes ttdpatch, still no idea why
22:46:13  <dan123> DJNekkid: I'd like to make order of words defineable in file corresponding to particular language
22:47:46  <dan123> I don't have any particular complaints besides that
22:47:59  <DJNekkid> if you got a good idea on how to do it, be my guest :)
22:48:15  <DJNekkid> i guess my implemention are quite germanic language oriented (?)
22:48:56  <dan123> now that you said it, yea I can see that :)
22:49:39  <DJNekkid> all i know is norwegian and engish, and it fits both :)
22:50:24  <DJNekkid> but if some language is like ... "Wagon Hopper Generation 3" there are problems :)
22:51:01  <dan123> in Polish "wagon hopper 3 gen"
22:51:32  <planetmaker> [00:45]	<Yexo>	http://paste.openttd.org/226040  this grf crashes ttdpatch, still no idea why <-- hm, it doesn't look particularily wrong to me
22:51:47  <planetmaker> Though the strings look funnily at their start
22:51:49  <Yexo> got an even simpler case now
22:51:59  <Yexo> that is the thorn represented in ascii
22:52:08  <planetmaker> ah, ok
22:54:25  <planetmaker> dan123: DJNekkid in general one string = one translation avoids such mistakes. So un-splitting the wagon names with their generation would solve most, though maybe not all problems there
22:54:34  <planetmaker> And it's not like it's really avoiding much duplication
22:55:59  <planetmaker> the only other solution seems to be then to apply a much more complicated string system which allows for re-sorting the sub-strings by the translators such as OpenTTD's WT3 allows.
22:56:24  <dan123> I was thinking about smth like that
22:57:22  <Yexo> planetmaker: that is not that complicated if the language file definitions get defined with a few parameters (for example the speed is a parameter)
22:57:55  <planetmaker> Yexo: yes, but re-writing that only with the gcc pre-processor is.. at least a pain
22:58:07  <Yexo> true
22:58:13  <planetmaker> And I wouldn't find the motivation to re-invent that again now that we have NML ;-)
22:58:31  <Yexo> anyway, I can't solve swedishrails on ttdpatch until I know what is wrong with that little grf I posted above
22:58:38  <Yexo> already created a topic in ttdpatch problems
22:58:44  <planetmaker> I just saw that
22:59:03  <planetmaker> Well... seems like my last commit was void then ;-)
22:59:14  <planetmaker> Still... how can I query other newgrf presence?
22:59:16  <Yexo> renum doesn't complain, grfcodec doesn't complain, it looks like it's according to the spec
22:59:22  <Yexo> you can't currently
22:59:27  <planetmaker> oh, ok
22:59:38  <planetmaker> I can't query var 0x88 either
22:59:51  <Yexo> hmm?
22:59:56  <Yexo> what is var 0x88?
23:00:00  <DJNekkid> dan123: what about the carriage capacity?
23:00:06  <DJNekkid> is that ok in polish?
23:00:08  <planetmaker> http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action7
23:00:13  <planetmaker> other GRFIDs
23:01:06  <dan123> DJNekkid: mostly okay
23:01:24  <dan123> and not really worth changing
23:01:34  <Yexo> planetmaker: I know the part about other GRFIDs, is "<planetmaker> I can't query var 0x88 either" related?
23:01:58  <planetmaker> uhm... yes :-)
23:02:21  <Yexo> ah, I sse :)
23:02:31  <Yexo> misread the table the first time
23:03:20  <Yexo> do you need all 4 operators?
23:03:24  <planetmaker> I messed around with my diffs and I don't have the NML code with that what I had before...
23:03:40  <planetmaker> well, I do want to know whether a grf will be active
23:03:46  <Yexo> is active, is not active, is or will be active, is not and will not be active
23:03:48  <dan123> DJNekkid: it's a problem not resolved in a lot of "pro" translations
23:04:19  <Yexo> I'm tempted to only expose the last 2 to nml
23:04:31  <dan123> ending of "passengers" is different for different numbers of them
23:05:01  <planetmaker> I never quite understood the difference between those four though I understand it can make a difference for load order.
23:05:10  <planetmaker> especially when modifying another newgrf
23:05:24  <planetmaker> or supplying information for a newgrf to be loaded
23:05:46  <Yexo> it's important when deciding which grf to disable
23:05:56  <Yexo> you can't disable another grf if it's already active
23:06:11  <planetmaker> disabling other grfs is bad anyway
23:06:22  <Yexo> and ttdpatch is supposed to crash if you try to disable a grf that is not in the list (ie you need to check for "will be active")
23:06:38  <planetmaker> lol? "supposed to crash"?
23:06:40  <Yexo> "supposed to" as in "the wiki says ttdpatch will"
23:07:05  <Yexo> wrong translation to english :p
23:07:31  <planetmaker> :-)
23:08:25  <DJNekkid> dan123: different endings on if they have a different number in the end? (i.e. 0-1-2....9)
23:08:27  <Yexo> good night
23:08:39  *** Yexo has quit IRC
23:09:04  <planetmaker> that was quick...
23:09:28  <dan123> DJNekkid: not for all, but for some and not really coherent among different words
23:10:42  <dan123> as I told Polish grammar is insane
23:11:55  <dan123> I'm proud to say that you have 17 different forms of word "two" for example
23:12:06  <dan123> all more or less used in spoken language :)
23:15:23  <dan123> about flexible word order again, I think it could be done without to much of a work using macros
23:20:12  <planetmaker> whatever :-)
23:20:37  <planetmaker> Just mind that you want to support more than two languages :-)
23:21:09  <DJNekkid> but changeing that part is near impossible
23:21:25  <dan123> planetmaker: I know
23:21:52  <planetmaker> anyway. also good night from here
23:22:18  <dan123> well, I think I'm gonna go to sleep too ;)
23:22:25  <DJNekkid> there is one way tho
23:22:31  <DJNekkid> but it takes some work
23:22:47  <DJNekkid> #define WORD_PAX_0 ... 9
23:22:55  <dan123> DJNekkid: if you are talking about endings then I did't really even think about it seriously
23:24:13  <DJNekkid> and then all of the string-bits needs to have WORD_PAX_0 (or whatever) depending on what the number ends with
23:24:23  <DJNekkid> but that probably needs some big changes
23:24:45  <DJNekkid> and prone to have a handfull of errors
23:24:48  <dan123> yea, just I call it goodnight for today :)
23:24:51  <DJNekkid> unless its made automaticly
23:25:18  <dan123> maybe I'll think about it after I finish first part :)
