00:00:22  *** ln-- [~ln--@dyn-xdsl-83-150-113-243.nebulazone.fi] has joined #openttd
00:00:22  <ln--> # Appears as SCOTTY
00:00:30  <ln> Eddi|zuHause: it doesn't work with wine :/
00:01:39  <ln> Bjarni: yes, apart from being .exe and not supporting utf-8, it's quite perfect.
00:04:09  <Bjarni> this guy should make it open source
00:04:11  *** Sacro [~ben@adsl-87-102-39-137.karoo.KCOM.COM] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
00:04:16  <Bjarni> so that real people can benefit from it
00:04:21  <ln> Bjarni: "this guy" is Microsoft.
00:05:14  <Bjarni> I should read it more closely
00:05:16  *** Sacro [~ben@adsl-87-102-39-137.karoo.KCOM.COM] has joined #openttd
00:05:21  <ln> damnit, now i look the same as Bjarni.
00:05:31  <Bjarni> I read "I developed Comic Chat"
00:05:41  <Bjarni> it says "I developed Comic Chat first within Microsoft Research"
00:08:43  <ln> if MS Comic Chat was made the preferred client for this channel, would anyone object?
00:08:49  <Bjarni> I like the download page. All the suitcases are marked with a flag and the name of the language. Except English (called MSChat 25) and Japanese (called 日 (sun), should have been 日本語)
00:08:58  <Sacro> ln: link!
00:09:15  <Bjarni> Sacro: http://mermeliz.com/cchat.htm
00:09:20  <Sacro> ooh,
00:09:21  <Bjarni> I guess that is what you are asking for
00:09:47  <Bjarni> <ln> if MS Comic Chat was made the preferred client for this channel, would anyone object? <-- YES
00:09:51  <Sacro> doesn't work in wine :(
00:10:19  <Bjarni> ln already said so
00:12:29  <Sacro> orly?

00:50:51  <Aali> now thats a good quit message
00:58:47  <ln> *that's
01:06:15  <thingwath> oh, that Comic Chat thing is so international
01:06:37  <Aali> ln: whatever
01:07:20  <ln> Aali: not whatever -- english only.
01:08:27  <thingwath> if I only knew what "Èesky" means.
01:09:57  <ln> or ÐóññêÚé
01:10:03  <Aali> ln: ' is too close to the "enter" key on my keyboard, so i can't really use it unless i concentrate really hard
01:10:24  <thingwath> well, these two means, that author doesn't know about Unicode
01:10:41  <thingwath> but "Slovaški"...
01:10:41  <Bjarni> Aali: are you drunk?
01:10:44  <Bjarni> '''''''''
01:10:45  <Bjarni> :P
01:11:02  <Bjarni> it's just a key just like all the other keys
01:11:09  <Aali> Bjarni: scrollback says yes
01:11:23  <Bjarni> right
01:11:27  <Bjarni> we should ignore you
01:11:32  <Aali> Bjarni: indeed
01:11:46  <ln> thingwath: Å¡ is in Latin-9 but the others aren't.
01:11:49  <Bjarni> I just wonder about one thing
01:11:50  <Sacro> hmmm
01:11:58  <Bjarni> why do Swedes like to get drunk?
01:12:00  <Sacro> what does "x = x++" actually do?
01:12:20  <Aali> Bjarni: because they're so inhibited when sober?
01:12:41  <thingwath> ln: I mean, why Slovaški, what is it?
01:13:00  <Aali> Bjarni: we dont talk or sit next to each other on busses/trams
01:13:07  <Aali> its sad but true
01:13:22  <ln> thingwath: most likely the name of the language.
01:13:33  <thingwath> ln: but in which language :)
01:13:50  <ln> thingwath: slovak?
01:13:53  <Bjarni> you don't sit next to each other in the busses, so you have to be drunk?
01:14:02  <thingwath> No, that would be "Slovensky"
01:14:10  <Bjarni> how about trying not to be drunk and you will realise that people will stop avoiding you
01:14:44  <Aali> Bjarni: no, we have to be drunk to express our true feelings
01:16:07  <Bjarni> you are weird
01:16:25  <Aali> indeed
01:16:34  <thingwath> oh, of course, slovenia, now I understand
01:16:49  <Aali> i dont like it either, but thats just the way it is
01:17:08  <Bjarni> no it's not
01:17:23  <Char> why is it impossible to build signals on bridges?
01:17:32  <Char> or in tunnels?
01:17:34  <Char> i mean
01:17:39  <ln> because.
01:17:42  <Char> seems to be kind of a major problem
01:17:45  <Char> in real games
01:17:59  <Bjarni> Aali: ever considered not being drunk for a change and see what happens?
01:18:22  <Runr> I guess it wouldn't make any sense, Char
01:18:42  <thingwath> oh, it's tuesday
01:18:50  <Bjarni> you know nobody sane would want a drunk guy
01:19:37  <Sacro> hmm, int i = 0; i = i++ gives different results in C and C#
01:20:20  <Sacro> how strange
01:20:29  <thingwath> I think that i = i++; is defined somehow in C#
01:21:10  <thingwath> in C it can't be anything
01:21:12  <Aali> Bjarni: i know, i'm not an alcoholic or anything, I just happen to have the week off
01:21:18  <thingwath> uh, s/can't/can/
01:22:47  <thingwath> Aali: beer ftw. :)
01:23:19  <Aali> thingwath: mistake
01:23:26  <Aali> thingwath: i hate beer
01:23:29  <thingwath> :(
01:23:36  <Bjarni> you drink vodka?
01:23:58  <Aali> gin :(
01:24:13  <thingwath> last week, I spent more on beer than food
01:24:17  <Bjarni> you know that every time you drink, you affect your brain
01:24:28  <thingwath> (but beer IS food, so it doesn't matter anyway)
01:24:35  <Aali> i do have vodka, but i'm not drinking that shit
01:24:41  *** lobstar is now known as lobster
01:24:51  <Bjarni> every time you get drunk and sober, you lower the brain's resistance against that scenario
01:25:12  <Sacro> Bjarni: you know every time you breath you affect your brain
01:25:24  <Bjarni> yeah
01:25:37  <Bjarni> without breathing the brain will suffer from lack of oxygen
01:25:52  <Aali> breathe*
01:25:58  *** ln-- [~ln--@dyn-xdsl-83-150-113-243.nebulazone.fi] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
01:26:49  <thingwath> it won't suffer without alcohol?
01:27:31  <Bjarni> when you drink alcohol it slows down your brain
01:28:03  <Bjarni> the body tries to compensate by releasing chemicals to make the brain more active and less chemicals to slow down the brain
01:28:30  <Bjarni> once the alcohol is gone again, those chemicals harm the brain until the balance is corrected once again
01:28:51  <Aali> Bjarni: do you ever drink?
01:29:01  <Bjarni> the difference is that the last time the brain is out of balance, it's too active and it's actually hurting it
01:29:39  <thingwath> ok :)
01:29:50  <Bjarni> eventually it can't take it anymore and the person becomes an alcoholic to avoid the harmful "getting sober" period
01:30:12  <Bjarni> <Aali> Bjarni: do you ever drink? <-- isn't that besides the point?
01:30:23  <thingwath> Well, I'm not alcoholic yet.
01:30:27  <Aali> i'm just asking
01:30:57  <Bjarni> if I told you that you shouldn't swim in icy water, would you ignore this statement if I decided to take a swim?
01:31:15  <welshdragon> i would
01:31:23  <Bjarni> well... I don't drink
01:31:28  <Bjarni> I don't like the taste
01:31:41  <Aali> i wouldn't swim in icy water, can't stand the cold
01:31:50  <thingwath> ethanol has some taste?
01:31:54  <welshdragon> i drink, but only vodka stuff
01:32:01  <welshdragon> i don't like lager
01:32:20  <Aali> Bjarni: have you ever been drunk?
01:32:28  <welshdragon> and even then, i only have 4 units
01:33:38  <Bjarni> <Aali> Bjarni: have you ever been drunk? <-- isn't that besides the point?
01:33:57  <ben_goodger> what the hell is going on?
01:34:00  <Aali> Bjarni: what point are you trying to make here?
01:34:28  <Bjarni> telling the effects of being drunk
01:35:02  <thingwath> I think we know them, unfortunately.
01:35:11  <Aali> Bjarni: I'm not saying you should drink, i know a lot of people who dont drink out of principle, and i respect them
01:35:43  <ben_goodger> damn straight
01:35:45  * welshdragon scuttles off
01:36:21  <Bjarni> so if I don't drink out of principle, it's ok, but it's weird that I don't drink because I don't like the taste?
01:36:30  <Char> watching a working train system can be pretty relaxing :)
01:36:36  <Char> however, i need some sleep.
01:36:45  <Bjarni> working train system?
01:36:46  <Bjarni> where?
01:36:54  <thingwath> I would like to see it, too.
01:38:29  <ben_goodger> switzerland perhaps?
01:38:37  <Char> like
01:38:41  <Char> ingame ;)
01:38:50  <Char> but the swiss railway system is indeed pretty good
01:38:57  <Aali> Bjarni: i really dont care why you dont drink, i just hope this wont be problem in the future :P
01:39:37  <Bjarni> I just told you that your brain can't deal with getting sober after drinking
01:40:14  <thingwath> my ingame train system has collapsed, again, and I don't know how to make working one
01:40:28  <Aali> i'm pretty good at that though, never get hungover
01:40:54  <Bjarni> I'm not talking about a hangover
01:40:56  <Char> thingwath: what did it collapse of?
01:41:07  <Char> overload
01:41:08  <Char> ?
01:41:11  <thingwath> yes.
01:41:19  <Char> and breakdowns? :P
01:41:32  <thingwath> thousands of people at each station...
01:41:39  <Char> well
01:41:42  <Char> build more trains :P
01:42:05  <Char> use massive feeder stations :P
01:42:11  <thingwath> I do.
01:42:17  <Char> hmmm
01:42:31  <Char> use multi-line mainline
01:42:34  <thingwath> but I play with cargodest
01:42:42  <Char> whats that?
01:42:48  <Aali> Bjarni: then what are you talking about? I say its everyone's right to get hammered every now and then
01:43:10  <Bjarni> I never denied that
01:43:25  <Bjarni> I just stated that it's a really bad idea
01:43:58  <Bjarni> because the brain remembers every time you do it and eventually it gives in
01:44:12  <Bjarni> and that's not nice if it happens
01:44:46  <Aali> and i kind-of agree with you, its not a good idea, but sometimes its just what you need to get back on your feet

01:45:06  <Bjarni> ?
01:45:07  <thingwath> the best thing ever (maybe after YAPP)
01:45:20  <Bjarni> you are saying that you do better if you get drunk?
01:45:23  <Aali> alcoholism is not cool in any way, but if you can control it, i say go for it
01:45:36  <Bjarni> you missed my point....
01:45:53  <Bjarni> once the brain gives in then you can't control it
01:46:15  <thingwath> Bjarni: alternatives?
01:46:17  <Bjarni> you can have full control until you get drunk one time too many and then you will loose everything
01:46:36  <Bjarni> <thingwath> Bjarni: alternatives? <-- ensure that you don't get drunk
01:46:42  <Bjarni> at least not really drunk
01:46:53  <Aali> Bjarni: but thats just not true
01:47:34  <Char> wow
01:47:39  <Char> cargodest seems like fun
01:47:43  <Bjarni> I'm not going to argue with a drunk about health issues about drinking
01:47:45  <Aali> sure i dont ever really lose control, but friends of mine do, and they still come out the other end without "losing everything"
01:47:48  <Char> will have to look into that
01:47:56  <Char> but for now, sleep is more important
01:47:57  <Char> so....
01:47:59  <Char> cu
01:48:03  <thingwath> Char: well, fun, mostly it's so hopeless sight :/
01:48:50  <Bjarni> Aali: you still don't get what I'm talking about. Say your brain has 1000 HP. Every time you drink it will lose some. Eventually it will reach 0 and your brain snaps
01:49:03  <Bjarni> how long will it take?... nobody can tell
01:49:37  <Bjarni> will it to people who are drinking heavily for a year or two... most likely not as this is a long term effect
01:49:49  <SmatZ> everytime you breath your brain loses HP
01:50:06  <SmatZ> but sometimes, new neural connections are made
01:50:10  <Bjarni> why do I have the feeling that you guys don't believe me?
01:50:16  <thingwath> We do.
01:50:27  <SmatZ> chain is as strong as its weakest part... and drinking kills the weakest parts ;-)
01:50:32  <thingwath> We just can't help ourselves. Have to drink. Drink.
01:50:45  <SmatZ> hehe
01:50:54  <Bjarni> <SmatZ> but sometimes, new neural connections are made <-- I'm not talking about neural connections. I'm talking about how the brain deals with chances of chemicals in the blood to control brain activity
01:50:57  <thingwath> And last beer is gone :(
01:51:18  <SmatZ> :-)
01:51:33  <SmatZ> Bjarni: I believe you, I am just not taking this discussion serious :)
01:51:51  <Bjarni> you have a point
01:51:56  <Aali> Bjarni: ooh, openttd reference, i like that :P, but yes, i do believe drinking is associated with hazards, but there's also alot of good things that can come out of it (responsible drinking, that is)
01:52:16  <thingwath> good things that can come out of drinking?
01:52:26  <Bjarni> responsible drinking will not make people drunk :P
01:53:05  <SmatZ> mankind has always abused drugs ... and we haven't died out yet
01:53:10  <SmatZ> :)
01:53:13  <Bjarni> but I guess my time will be better spent sleeping than arguing with some random drunk guy on the internet
01:53:25  <Bjarni> SmatZ: we will
01:53:30  <thingwath> drunk people cannot type
01:53:39  <Aali> thingwath: people tend to open up and share their innermost feelings when drunk
01:53:42  <SmatZ> Bjarni: because of alcohol / drugs?
01:53:48  <Bjarni> thingwath: yeah... Aali stopped making sense ages ago :P
01:53:55  <thingwath> Aali: and that is good thing? :D
01:53:57  <SmatZ> nah... because of stupid ideas of mighty people
01:54:07  <Aali> thingwath: of course it is
01:54:19  <Bjarni> SmatZ: I didn't say that. I said that we will be extinct eventually
01:54:33  <Bjarni> it depends on stuff like how many nuclear powerplants we build
01:55:07  <SmatZ> why nuclear powerplants?
01:55:10  <Sacro> ooh
01:55:14  <Aali> i have been really drunk since that last gin&tonic went down and i can still type
01:55:18  <Bjarni> they are radioactive
01:55:24  <SmatZ> so are you
01:55:29  <Sacro> uranium -> nuclear pp -> waste -> towns
01:55:41  <Bjarni> if too much leak, then we will not be humans anymore

01:56:06  <Bjarni> and right now a whole lot of new nuclear powerplants are being build
01:56:07  <SmatZ> well, yeah
01:56:16  <Bjarni> however nobody knows what to do with the radioactive waste
01:56:41  <thingwath> we will always be humans, maybe just not the same ones as we were yesterday
01:56:53  <SmatZ> I want to have many children, so my clan has chance to survive any nuclear war and similiar possible situations :)
01:57:04  <Sacro> Bjarni: find a country we don't like to offload it to
01:57:08  <Sacro> america or something
01:57:12  <SmatZ> but it's hard to find a girl who would like to have many children for this purpose :)
01:57:31  <Aali> SmatZ: you're crazy
01:57:48  <SmatZ> Aali: yeah, they say so
01:57:54  <Bjarni> SmatZ: you should tell that it's for a different purpose
01:58:13  <Bjarni> like getting more votes for your future political party
01:58:19  <Bjarni> :P
01:58:21  <SmatZ> hehehe
01:58:35  <SmatZ> or have many visitors by our graves when we are dead :-P
01:59:04  <SmatZ> mm may I should try to donor sperm...
01:59:26  <SmatZ> well ... better go to bed, nn all :)
01:59:28  <Bjarni> now if you get 6 children and each of those get 6 children, then you will get a whole lot of grandchildren
01:59:48  <Bjarni> <SmatZ> well ... better go to bed, nn all :) <-- that's a good plan too.... if it contains a girl
01:59:49  <thingwath> I want a statue!
02:00:02  <Bjarni> otherwise it's kind of like not working for your plan :P
02:01:06  <thingwath> it's long-term strategy, of course

08:32:15  <dih> Celestar: ap+ is a dereviate of autopilot
08:32:19  <planetmaker> I think Kommer is working on it.
08:32:31  <dih> yep

08:32:57  <planetmaker> ^^ that's the first question which needs answering :)

08:36:26  <vvv444> Question: How many of you use unnamed vehicle groups?
08:36:36  <Celestar> unnamed?
08:36:48  <vvv444> With default names "Group N'
08:36:50  <planetmaker> if I use groups, I name them.
08:36:54  <Celestar> me too
08:37:03  <Celestar> otherwise I think their usability is limited
08:37:06  <vvv444> Just though it should ask for name on creation.
08:37:14  <planetmaker> no
08:37:22  <Celestar> like "Atown to Bvillage local" or "C to D superexpress"
08:37:36  <vvv444> planetmaker: Why not?
08:37:39  <planetmaker> I hate computers who want to think for me and pretend to know better when I have to do something
08:37:53  <planetmaker> I can rename groups already now.
08:37:57  <planetmaker> without effort

08:39:58  <vvv444> planetmaker: My point is that if 95% of TTD users always rename the group after creation, maybe we can save them the effort of click "create" button, go select the group and click "rename" button by just displaying rename dialog on create. The dialog can already have default name and the remaining 5% will just have press OK.
08:40:13  <vvv444> It's just UI usability.
08:40:24  <dih> vvv444: not everybody names them the same way
08:40:25  <vvv444> I'm I wrong?
08:40:53  <dih> you name your groups with Town A to Town B
08:41:00  <dih> others name their groups after the cargo type
08:41:04  <dih> some after stations
08:41:08  <dih> ...
08:41:29  <dih> some people might colour their trains and name the groups after the colour
08:41:32  <vvv444> dih: So? You mean you don't yet kno the name on creation?
08:41:42  <dih> exactly
08:41:46  <dih> that is up to the one playing
08:42:08  <vvv444> Hmmm, the question is how many people do so and how many otherwise...
08:42:18  <vvv444> Do tt-forums have polls?
08:42:19  <planetmaker> vvv444: a default name is already now given.
08:42:28  <planetmaker> tt-forums have polls.
08:42:35  <dih> if you want to go by statistics, you could go as far as to say "most people on the net call themselvs something with jack - so why not make the default multiplayer name Jack instead of Player?"
08:43:03  <planetmaker> actually... I wouldn't put too much effort in these groups... rather a new ordering scheme :) which combines groups and orders :)
08:43:03  <dih> vvv444: pols dont mean they have an effect on the source code ;-)
08:44:08  <vvv444> LOL. I didn't propose changing default names. But I think you should go by ststistic on UI issues. That's what people want :)
08:44:10  <planetmaker> there's some thread where Brianetta made a nice proposal one restructuring the whole thing to something usefull. Which allows hirachical lists
08:44:33  <vvv444> planetmaker: I
08:44:39  <vvv444> 'll look at it.
08:44:42  <vvv444> Thanks
08:44:57  <planetmaker> np :)
08:45:24  <planetmaker> but I grant that proposal little chance on becoming reality any time soon... so far it's only vapour ware. :D
08:46:06  <dih> vvv444: what people want is not always what the devs want
08:46:16  <dih> and the people dont always have an understanding for the code
08:46:21  <dih> nor the direction the game is taking
08:46:47  <dih> if it were purely what people wanted, you would have a crap load of mess
08:47:08  <Gekz> "I want more dong pictures"
08:47:13  <Gekz> "put them in ttd NOW"
08:47:25  <dih> "aye - will do sir"
08:47:54  <vvv444> planetmaker: You mean the proposal of Brianneta is big and hard to implement?
08:47:55  <Gekz> "while you're there, bend over?
08:48:04  <Gekz> lol @ big and hard
08:48:08  <dih> "yes, sir"

08:48:40  <dih> what a pitty
08:48:41  <planetmaker> vvv444: it's big. No idea about how hard, but definitely some work. And there's no person who even tried to look at it from an implementation side.
08:49:04  * dih remembers all the 'war' proposals in the forums
08:49:40  <Gekz> war?
08:49:42  <Gekz> lol
08:49:42  <Gekz> wtf
08:49:44  <planetmaker> urgs. Let's make war on war thems. There are many places you can play or have war.

08:49:59  <Gekz> drive a truck at someone
08:50:03  <Gekz> and collect ?
08:50:14  <Gekz> That makes no sense.
08:50:20  <dih> no - war influencing the economy
08:50:26  <dih> as a disaster
08:50:35  <Gekz> wtf?

08:52:43  <dih> you dont need a demolish tool anymore
08:52:45  <vvv444> planetmaker: Unfortunatelly the codebase is in quite a mess state (IMHO), that implementing things is painful. I've many years programming experience, but after trying implementing a simple feature I understood that it takes me x10 time than it should only because the things aren't built properly and my basic instinct drives me to rewriting fair part of it :( Still it works well and this quite surprises me.
08:53:20  <dih> vvv444 you are an idiot
08:53:30  <vvv444> dih: Thank you
08:53:32  <dih> sorry for the words "are an"
08:53:37  <planetmaker> vvv444: a mess looks different to me. But surely the code is not everywhere homogineous.
08:53:59  <dih> vvv444: you are welcome
08:53:59  <Rubidium> vvv444: then you don't have experience with evolved applications
08:54:01  <dih> anytime again
08:54:10  <planetmaker> but you cannot expect that for a code which evolved over 3 or four years.
08:54:16  <Celestar> er..
08:54:20  <vvv444> No of course I seen worse.
08:54:24  <Celestar> you need to bear in mind where this code STARTED
08:54:35  <Celestar> I wonder which of you have seen r1 of the OLD repo
08:54:40  <Celestar> ;)
08:54:44  <planetmaker> :)
08:54:52  <vvv444> I don't blame you. I understand perfectly well what condition it is in.
08:55:11  <vvv444> On contrary, I'm amused how you brought it to work so well!
08:55:22  <planetmaker> I actually doubt that there are many projects with a similar history where the code is in better shape.

08:56:17  <vvv444> Well, I haven't looked so deep in Mozilla, gcc, etc. But Linux kernel was better :)
08:56:32  <dih> vvv444: if you want to rewrite parts then do so and post it at bugs.openttd.org
08:57:38  <planetmaker> vvv444: and indeed a combination of orders and groups might be an incentive to revise things there a bit more thoroughly.
08:58:26  <planetmaker> but I figure for any single person it is nearly impossible to understand all trip wires and "why-this-way" in the code of a project of this size
08:58:28  <vvv444> dih: I would, but I have 1/2 time job and full time university. Besides, So big changes won't be accepted especially from someone new as myself.
08:58:54  <planetmaker> vvv444: the PBS patch was written by a basically new person.
08:58:56  <Rubidium> ofcourse, with the "manpower" the kernel has they've got more time and such
08:59:14  <vvv444> planetmaker: It's not SO big. 200k lines, right?
08:59:20  <planetmaker> or do I err with PBS, Rubidium ?
08:59:38  <planetmaker> don't know. But it was no small one :)
09:00:48  <dih> vvv444: your time excuse is really bad
09:00:56  <dih> most devs here have full time jobs, or study
09:01:01  <dih> some have families to take care of
09:01:19  <planetmaker> some have even both.
09:01:20  <dih> yet still they always manage to find a moment here or there to do their stuff, and to be honest, i am really impressed by that

09:58:06  <blathijs> TrueBrain: I'm rather fond of tiling window managers myself (wmii, ion, ratpoison, xmonad)
09:58:41  *** roboboy [3aad2910@webchat.mibbit.com] has joined #openttd
09:58:49  <planetmaker> what the heck is a geared turbofan and what is its advantage over a usual jet engine (which is turbofan afaik - please correct, if not)
09:59:57  <Celestar> planetmaker: it's a normal jet engine where the RPM ratio between the fan (the big blower you see) and its turbine is not 1:1. It's advantage is about a 15%-20% reduction in fuel burn (and thus CO2) emmissions and a 75% (20dB(A)) reduction in noise.
10:00:14  <planetmaker> ah, cool :)
10:00:45  <planetmaker> so... why not use earlier?
10:00:45  <Celestar> these 20% reduction gets CO2 per passenger-kilometer below 100g
10:00:59  <Celestar> (compared to about 200 for a normal car)
10:01:02  <planetmaker> fuel should be one of the main cost drivers next to personel
10:01:17  <planetmaker> 200 for a car is a lot - considering new cars.
10:01:24  <Celestar> planetmaker: on trips < 2000km, it's not. At least not for airlines.
10:01:31  <Celestar> 200 for a car is not a lot in REAL driving conditions.
10:01:40  <planetmaker> :P
10:01:43  <Celestar> I average (24 months) about 165g/km.
10:01:49  <Celestar> and it's a small diesel car
10:02:04  <Celestar> on the highway, I average more to 175g/km
10:02:10  <Celestar> at least on the longer trips
10:02:11  <planetmaker> hm... ok :)
10:02:20  <Celestar> well small .. average-sized.
10:02:28  <TrueBrain> blathijs: some look nice .. still not avoid my problem, of not being able to both have IRC + Mail + MSN + kdevelop open :p
10:02:36  <TrueBrain> damn, I really need 2x 22" widescreen :p
10:02:40  <planetmaker> I'd assume highway is most easy on it - if you don't drive on German highways with no speed limit :)
10:02:58  <Celestar> planetmaker: on longer trips, I go around 140-150km/h.
10:03:07  <planetmaker> sounds reasonable :)
10:03:20  <Celestar> on shorter trips (daily commpute) its around 80-90km/h on the highway (that's about the max you get when you're lucky)
10:03:25  <planetmaker> but not on Dutch highways... or French :P
10:04:27  <planetmaker> hehe... I remember an occasion on a French highway. We were overtaken by a fast sports car. At the next toll booth, he had a longer and probably much more expensive stop than we :D
10:04:44  <Celestar> but below 100g/km it pretty good. Another such step and they're on par with high-speed trains (which, in Germany are around 70-80g/Pkm)
10:05:07  <blathijs> TrueBrain: The IRC and MSN problem is easily reduced by using bitlbee
10:05:13  <planetmaker> sounds good. Still leaving the place of the emissions one of the critical points, though :)
10:05:20  <TrueBrain> blathijs:  I really like GUI, if you dodn't know that by now ;)
10:05:23  <planetmaker> not for CO2 obviously.
10:05:36  <TrueBrain> I like to see all names you can give yourself in MSN .. bitlbee doesn't allow me :(
10:05:48  <blathijs> TrueBrain: Yeah, just use your GUI IRC client for msn using bitlbee :-)
10:06:06  <blathijs> TrueBrain: Bitlbee does show name changes, right?
10:06:22  <TrueBrain> blathijs: and therefor you miss 90% of the name changes on MSN :)

10:07:18  <Celestar> planetmaker: yeah, that remains a problem, especially the Noxes. Hence, the geared turbofan engine reduces those emmisions by more than 50% compare to aircraft in service today.
10:07:26  <Celestar> planetmaker: not enough, but a step in the right direction.
10:07:28  <TrueBrain> Thunderbird really sucks ... Outlook is a so much better mail client (/me saying that .. scary)
10:07:48  <Celestar> yeah, only it misses support for a real OS
10:07:56  <planetmaker> Engineering and science can mostly only do steps :)
10:08:05  <Celestar> yeah
10:08:13  <planetmaker> You cannot jump 5 miles - but you can easily cover them with smaller steps.
10:08:42  <Celestar> however, the environment problems we have on Earth these days will be solved by science and engineering, and not by politicians.

10:15:03  <Celestar> yeah
10:15:04  <Celestar> me too
10:15:09  <planetmaker> depends upon what accuracy you're used to. Ask the people with atomic clocks ;)
10:15:20  <Celestar> extents before:4778 after:5      ino=2147551851
10:15:21  <Celestar> ino=2147551852
10:15:24  <Celestar> :o
10:15:29  <planetmaker> measurement errors of the order of 10^-16 are high in those cases.
10:16:05  <planetmaker> also GPS needs better accuracy for your tomtom.
10:16:14  <Celestar> yeah
10:16:19  <Rubidium> so the measurement error is roughly 10^-16, not 1.02432421344513451234*10^-16
10:16:32  <planetmaker> Rubidium: relative units :)
10:16:37  <planetmaker> x / Delta x
10:16:46  <planetmaker> err... vice versa.
10:16:53  <Celestar> but for your tomtom, the main error source is the ionospheric error, since I don't think tomtoms are dual-frequency.
10:17:22  <planetmaker> Probably. But I guess they might have some by now.
10:17:29  <Celestar> what for?
10:17:31  <planetmaker> But they're not military grade :)
10:17:37  <planetmaker> accuracy :P
10:17:55  <Celestar> there is no difference between military grade and civillian GPS receivers as of now.
10:18:07  <planetmaker> true
10:18:08  <Celestar> the military frequency is currently not encrypted and can be used by everyone.
10:18:27  <planetmaker> but I guess military grade has a decryption device :P
10:18:34  <planetmaker> but that's beside the point actually :)
10:18:36  <Celestar> and with any decent dual-frequency receiver you can get about a 4-m accuracy (95%)
10:19:11  <planetmaker> 4m isn't that overwhelmingly good, is it?
10:19:32  <planetmaker> but most accuracy can be gained by using two antennae within a car.
10:19:41  <Celestar> well, it's pretty impressive considering that your lighthouses are 20000km away.
10:19:46  <planetmaker> Gets you rid of interferences due to reflections and stuff like that
10:19:56  <Celestar> GPSIII might get that down to about 1.5m (95%)
10:20:05  <Celestar> as might Galileo .. in 2032.
10:20:18  <planetmaker> :O 2032 is now the due date? Shit...
10:20:22  <Celestar> not really
10:20:26  <Celestar> the due date is 2014 afaik
10:20:38  <Celestar> which translates into 2032 for everything the EU is involved in :P
10:20:47  <planetmaker> better :) I need to discuss that soon when we have our "Stollen-Back-Session" :)
10:21:03  <Celestar> using RTK/GPS, we got about 20mm real-time accuracy.
10:21:14  <planetmaker> that's pretty good :)
10:21:23  <Celestar> using off-the-shelf parts
10:21:31  <TrueBrain> I also know up to 1cm where I am
10:21:36  <TrueBrain> behind my computer, currently
10:21:38  <Celestar> at 10km from the base, this went up to around 35mm.
10:21:47  <planetmaker> in ESA jargon also called COTS - which sounds pretty bad in German language :D
10:21:56  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: also in dutch ;)
10:22:03  <planetmaker> :P
10:22:04  <Celestar> planetmaker: NASA also has COTS which means something completely different there.
10:22:13  <Celestar> "Commercial Orbital Transportation Systems"
10:22:13  <planetmaker> comercially off the shelf?
10:22:17  <planetmaker> eh :)
10:22:59  <Celestar> that's a program where NASA will likely be purchasing launch services off privately funded companies to bring supplies, experiments and possibly people to the ISS from 2010/2011.
10:23:42  <planetmaker> :) I'm curious as of what and whether they really do that.
10:23:45  <Celestar> reducing cost to bring stuff up to the station by a factor of 10 compared to the shuttle.
10:23:52  <Celestar> planetmaker: in a year, we'll know.
10:24:04  <planetmaker> but these flight opportunities are quite interesting - also for me :D
10:24:25  <Celestar> yeah, but a factor of 10 still means about 5 million bucks for a flight :P
10:24:26  <planetmaker> reducing experimental costs by several orders of magnitude.
10:24:40  <planetmaker> Celestar: that's nothing. A sounding rocket costs more.
10:24:48  <Celestar> currently, the average orbital experiment is around 10 million.
10:24:55  <Celestar> planetmaker: it does?
10:25:08  <planetmaker> Yes. 2 ... 20 million depending upon type.
10:25:09  <Celestar> planetmaker: you get get ORBITAL launches for < 10million bucks.
10:25:17  <Celestar> (sub-ton)
10:25:54  <Celestar> < 7 million EUR actually.
10:26:06  <planetmaker> well...  that's about the same price, is it :)
10:26:16  <Celestar> yeah
10:26:30  <planetmaker> and a 10 minute sounding rocket is nearly orbital. Just add a bit more fuel and you're there.
10:26:42  <Celestar> currently prices is  million for 420kg LEO and  million for 1000kg LEO.
10:26:48  <planetmaker> you got something like 200km altitude.
10:26:59  <Celestar> but not nearly 8km/sec
10:27:07  <planetmaker> don't ask me for payload weight.
10:27:15  <Celestar> a ton is a shitload :P
10:27:24  <planetmaker> I guess it's higher as mostly sounding rockes house more than one experiment.

12:08:47  <Tekky> I have a compilation problem of the ICU package on Windows: The OpenTTD project file seems to assume that ICU is a static library called libicu.lib, but when I compile ICU, it produces several DLLs, none of which is called ICU. Instead, the ICU package seems to consist of several DLLs.
12:09:36  <Tekky> But the OpenTTD Visual C++ 2008 project file seems to assume the ICU package consists of one static library....
12:11:37  <Rubidium> Tekky: have you read the instructions in the openttd-useful-2.0-source.zip?
12:13:30  <Rubidium> I suppose not
12:13:47  <Tekky> no, I'm downloading it now :)
12:14:03  <Tekky> I only read the wiki page on Visual C++ 2008.
12:14:12  <Tekky> and the ICU documentation.
12:14:38  <Rubidium> though I wonder why you want to go through the trouble of manually building the libraries
12:15:12  <Tekky> ah, thx, that explains everything....
12:16:30  <Tekky> I wanted to enable global optimizations, that's why :)
12:18:26  <Tekky> The library must be compiled with global optimizations active, if I want to apply them to the library....

12:21:59  <Tekky> yes, they must have been made specifically for Visual C++ 2008.
12:22:19  <Rubidium> oh, so no point in remaking the distributed libraries then ;)
12:22:36  <Tekky> I'm not sure whether VC++ 2008 Service Pack 1 is compatible with the non-SP1
12:22:55  <Rubidium> Tekky: make sure you build all libs according to the 'guidelines' in the source.zip, otherwise it will not link
12:23:57  <Tekky> yes, thx....
12:24:50  <Tekky> I've compiled the other libraries already, it just was libicu.lib I was having trouble with....
12:34:10  <Tekky> because I didn't know that libicu.lib is supposed to export the same symbols as icuuc40.dll.

14:24:29  <Tekky> Rubidium: Yes, maybe I should do that in future. ;-) Well, one of the main problems I had was that the assmbler versions of zlib did not compile with MS Visual C++ 2008. I was only able to fix it after finding this page on the internet: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=166511
14:24:33  *** GoneWacko [~GoneWacko@dhcp-077-249-197-241.chello.nl] has joined #openttd
14:25:45  <Tekky> Rubidium: it took me more than a day to find out what was wrong :)
14:27:44  <Tekky> Rubidium: The source code of zlib was not compatible with the assembler shipped with Visual C++ 2008 and I spent most of the time trying to find a different assembler program. Instead, all I had to do was to change the line:
14:27:46  <Tekky> MOVD mm4,[esp+0]
14:27:48  <Tekky> to
14:27:49  <Tekky> MOVD mm4, DWORD PTR [esp+0]
14:28:21  *** mode/#openttd [+o orudge] by ChanServ
14:28:59  <Rubidium> wow... didn't know Microsoft allows assembly in C#
14:31:01  *** Aylomen [~a@DSL01.83.171.181.27.ip-pool.NEFkom.net] has joined #openttd
14:31:24  <Tekky> Rubidium: I was mainly mislead by the fact that in the zlib project, the assembler files were listed as "Assembler Files (Unsupported)". Therefore, I thought I had to find a proper assembler program and the zlib library documentation stated that I had to install the Visual C++ 6.0 Processor Pack. But I was unable to find any such thing for Visual C++ 2008.... now I know that was because it...
14:31:24  <Tekky> ...is preinstalled. :)
14:33:08  <Tekky> by the way, is there any way to explicitly give a hint to the compiler to optimize for the case that an if-condition will be false or true?
14:33:40  <Rubidium> for gcc there is
14:34:03  <Rubidium> for MSVC: I don't know and I don't care
14:34:16  <Tekky> good.... I find it strange that I was unable to find any such possibility in Visual C++.....
14:35:57  <Rubidium> #define likely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 1)
14:36:01  <Rubidium> that's for gcc
14:36:25  <Rubidium> though ICC seems to be supporting that too
14:42:35  <Tekky> In Visual C++, I found the __assume(condition) intrinsic, but that is not what I wanted. I want the compiler/optimizer to optimize for a certain case and assume that the non-optimized case will occur only very seldomly. But the __assume intrinsic does not do that. Instead, it assumes that the non-optimized case will NEVER occur.
14:42:43  <CIA-5> OpenTTD: rubidium * r14540 /trunk/src/ (9 files in 2 dirs):
14:42:43  <CIA-5> OpenTTD: -Codechange: introduce [v]seprintf which are like [v]snprintf but do return the
14:42:43  <CIA-5> OpenTTD: number of characters written instead of the number of characters that would be
14:42:43  <CIA-5> OpenTTD: written; as size_t is unsigned substraction can cause integer underflows quite
14:42:43  <CIA-5> OpenTTD: quickly.
14:43:39  <Tekky> Rubidium: the gcc code that you just posted, does that also assume that the non-optimized case will NEVER occur? Or SELDOMLY occur?
14:44:47  <Rubidium> seldomly I think; don't know exactly, I ripped it from the linux kernel code
14:46:46  <Tekky> it would seem logical to me to, for example, to give the optimizer a hint that the condition in an assertion will normally be true and it should therefore optimize accordingly.
14:47:52  *** ecke [~ecke@213.195.202.130] has joined #openttd
14:48:30  <Tekky> However, this does not mean that the optimizer can be sure that the condition will ALWAYS be true. Otherwise, the optimizer could optimize away the whole assertion.
14:49:14  <SmatZ> yeah, I was considering replacing assert() by __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0) when compiled without asserts
14:49:25  <SmatZ> it is only a branch hint I think
14:51:02  <Rubidium> http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html <- yes it's branch prediction
14:51:31  <Tekky> ah, yes... I found this page too: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2000-04/msg00129.html
14:51:39  <Tekky> it does exactly what I want.....
14:51:55  <Tekky> in contrast to the MSVC++ 2008 __assume intrinsic....
14:52:31  <Tekky> SmatZ: Why only when compiled without asserts?
14:53:44  <Tekky> SmatZ: I think it makes also sense to use __builtin_expect with all asserts....
14:54:21  <Rubidium> I think it makes sense that assert should be implemented with such a builtin_expect
14:54:34  <Tekky> SmatZ: Please look at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2000-04/msg00129.html
14:55:04  <Tekky> SmatZ: There, it is recommended to use __builtin_expect for all error handling.... so also for assertions.
14:55:46  <Rubidium> gcc says it's not recommended to use __builtin_expect
14:56:00  <Rubidium> but rather use profiles to determine what to expect
14:56:04  * petern would expect almost no benefit :P
14:58:12  * Rubidium wonders what microsoft means with "alphabetical listing"
14:58:27  <Celestar> I guess Microsoft wonders that too :P
14:58:39  <keyweed_> whatever sequence they have the patent for
14:58:51  <petern> one would assume a list in alphabetical order
14:58:58  <Rubidium> just a small preview of the "alphabetical listing": __nop, __ud2, __lidt, __sidt, __halt
14:59:00  <keyweed_> no, that has prior art, can't be patented
14:59:12  <Tekky> Rubidium: Well, since most of us compile without profiles, I think using __builtin_except would be the best solution. The compile farms must compile without any profiling information, don't they?
15:00:12  <SmatZ> Tekky: gcc guesses branch probability
15:00:13  <Rubidium> yes, it isn't profiled
15:00:29  <Rubidium> though a compile cycle already takes more than enough time ;)

15:02:38  <Rubidium> anyhow...
15:02:51  <Rubidium> I rather see macro level optimisations than micro level optimisations
15:04:49  <Tekky> as far as I can tell, gcc does not have an equivalent to the __assume intrinsic of Visual C++ and Visual C++ does not have an equivalent to the __builtin_expect intrinsic. I think both intrinsics would be useful.
15:07:43  <SmatZ> I have seen likely() and unlikely() using builting expect...
15:08:05  <SmatZ> now looking at usage of __builtin_expect, I am not sure if it can be used as statement
15:08:19  <SmatZ> eg. I get tons of "ixedsizearray.hpp:90: warning: statement has no effect" warnings
15:08:36  <SmatZ> when I #define assert(expr) __builtin_expect(!(expr), 1)
15:08:47  <SmatZ> maybe this was the reason why I gave up that idea...

15:11:12  <SmatZ> errr the first was correct...
15:11:16  <petern> well
15:11:25  <petern> why do you expect that to work?
15:12:10  <SmatZ> there are places where gcc uses autovectorization
15:12:25  <SmatZ> when working with large data blocks
15:12:32  <SmatZ> but it first has to verify data are aligned
15:12:43  <petern> huh?

15:12:49  <SmatZ> phone :)
15:13:49  <SmatZ> example is the 32bpp blitter ... when autovectorization is done by gcc, the code is much slower
15:14:03  <SmatZ> because it does checks for size and alignment of data
15:14:20  <SmatZ> so if it was possible to tell it data are always aligned, it would make code fater
15:14:28  <SmatZ> *faster
15:15:02  <SmatZ> it could be like "assert((((size_t)ptr) & 15) == 0"
15:15:21  <Aali> __builtin_expect only affects branches, AFAIK
15:15:37  <SmatZ> seems so :)
15:15:58  <SmatZ> it would be nice if you could tell the compiler something is sure
15:16:04  <SmatZ> not just "very likely"

15:24:20  <glx> batti5: original music files are midi
15:24:40  <glx> and there's no replacement yet, so no need for another format
15:24:49  <SmatZ> batti5: run winamp in background :)
15:25:35  <batti5> but midi is a real chalange for linux
15:25:50  <Belugas> indeed, batti5.  There are other programs that can deal with far more audio file types, and way better too.
15:26:34  <batti5> linux can handel all exept midi

15:28:51  <Tekky> <SmatZ>	it would be nice if you could tell the compiler something is sure <--- That is exactly what the __assume intrinsic in Visual C++ does. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any gcc equivalent.
15:28:58  <glx> yes midi works fine on linux if you have the right hardware
15:29:21  <petern> it also works fine if you know how to set it up
15:29:21  <batti5> openttd can work with fluidsynth?
15:29:30  <petern> almost a card that supports hardware mixing is handy
15:29:42  <petern> *although
15:29:53  <petern> any midi synth will work
15:30:00  <Rubidium> Tekky: if something is sure we either assert on it or go into NOT_REACHED()
15:30:01  <petern> whether it'll sound good is another matter
15:30:44  <Rubidium> and gcc should be able to use the asserts to determine assumptions I'd say (whether it does is something else)
15:30:48  <batti5> my card dont has midi, in windoze i used microsoft synthethiser
15:31:17  <petern> batti5, set up dmix first, then alsa can combine the audio and music together
15:31:30  <batti5> how?
15:31:37  <petern> rtfm
15:31:42  <glx> timidity is like mssynth

15:32:25  <Rubidium> assert doesn't leave checks behind
15:32:42  <Rubidium> or somebody did check on something that assert already checks

19:31:37  <Char> just a question
19:31:56  <Char> are you guys always trying to connect the industries furthest away from each other to each other?
19:32:04  <Char> or just like it fits?
19:32:26  <Aali> Yexo: i figured the only thing that could cause it is RailRouteBuilder::BuildPath, but i'm not familiar with squirrel or the noai API so i dont know why its happening
19:33:04  <Yexo> Aali: it works fine here. can you upload a savegame somewhere (or pm on tt-forums)?
19:33:40  <Yexo> and it never reaches RailRouteBuidler::BuildPath as long as no stations are build
19:33:46  <Aali> its probably one of my patches then (so no, no savegame :P)
19:34:01  <Aali> thats weird

19:54:46  <Yexo> it didn't think it build a station

19:55:52  <Yexo> most likely distant join also needs some changes in api code, but since the patch is for trunk, it doesn't include those changes
19:55:56  <Eddi|zuHause> where is the function that flattens the area when an industry is built?

20:48:07  <Tekky> what does "NoAI" stand for? Wouldn't the name "NewAI" be more appropriate? :)
20:49:00  <Yexo> NoAI is just the name of the framework providing an API so new AIs can be developed.
20:49:16  <frosch123> it is the short form of "no crappy ais anymore" :p
20:50:07  <fjb> Wouldn't that be ncaa? :-)
20:50:19  <Aali> Yexo: i know this has been mentioned on the forums already, but your AI should really build the depots on the other track (other side)
20:50:55  <Yexo> if all is well, it builds depots on the tracks both way
20:51:01  <Yexo> so two depots per route
20:51:21  <Aali> yes, but the depot should be at the exit of the loading station
20:51:36  *** [alt]buster [~Combuster@82-171-220-59.ip.telfort.nl] has joined #openttd
20:51:37  <Yexo> that depends on how you look at it
20:52:02  <Yexo> currently every train has a service order in the depot after the unload station, so it is only serviced when empty
20:52:27  <Aali> reliability goes down _alot_ when the train is loading though
20:52:32  <Yexo> that is more realistic then servicing a fully loaded train
20:52:46  <Yexo> and I never play with breakdowns on :)
20:52:50  <Yexo> I should do that maybe
20:53:38  <Aali> its not that much of a problem with improved breakdowns, but it does make it less efficient
20:53:54  <Aali> atleast for low-speed trains
20:54:16  <fjb> What happens if I load a save with old ais into a noai game?
20:54:36  <Yexo> for every old ai a new ai is loaded that takes over the company
20:55:14  <Yexo> however, admiralai won't take over maintenance of already exisitng rail routes, so it'll just leave them there for always (it won't replace or renew the trains)
20:55:24  <Aali> segfault
20:55:26  <Aali> awesome

21:01:00  <glx> (and it was my fault ;) )

22:05:45  <fjb> rondje sounds like fun.
22:06:49  <Eddi|zuHause> i could place stations in rough terrain much more easily if they could bend...
22:13:14  <Aali> Yexo: what would cause your AI to place signs? (labeled 1, 2, and 3)
22:13:53  <Yexo> it tried to build rail on the tile labeled "2" which should connect tiles "1" and "3", but building that rail failed
22:14:15  <Aali> right
22:14:53  <Aali> it was trying to build a diagonal track over a road tile
22:15:03  <Yexo> fjb: NoCap is a very good AI too (but roadvehicles only)
22:15:35  <Aali> i guess the pathfinder ran before the road was constructed
22:15:38  <Yexo> Aali: most likely that road tiles was build very recently (either by another ai, by you, or by a town)
22:15:49  <fjb> I'm trying admiralai, nocab, rondje and pathzilla now.
22:16:19  <dih> nininininini
22:16:26  <Aali> Yexo: not too recent, but there's a window, i dont think its a bug :P
22:16:44  <fjb> NoCAB gives me an Error...
22:17:02  <Yexo> fjb: what kind? I was just trying nocap and it works here
22:17:07  <fjb> And WrightAI has a big problem in 1883. :-)
22:17:48  <Yexo> wrightai is just an example ai
22:17:57  <fjb> "Index 'pathFixer' does not exist"
22:18:11  <Yexo> it'll also have problems when in 1980+ when "always allow small airports" is disabled
22:20:55  <fjb> Can you not switch to bigger airports then?
22:21:53  <fjb> Oh, the problem with NoCAB may be that it got what the old ai left over...
22:21:54  <Yexo> fjb: I was talking about wrightai. AdmiralAI builds bigger airports as soon as it can
22:22:13  <Yexo> fjb: that can be a problem indeed
22:22:37  <Yexo> but if it crashed, you should report it (including the original savegame) in the correct forum thread
22:23:36  <fjb> Hm, how long does it take for admiralai before it starts to build vehicles?
22:23:56  <Yexo> it should first build a route before it can build vehicles :p
22:25:53  *** ccfreak2k [~ccfreak2k@li26-205.members.linode.com] has joined #openttd
22:26:09  <ccfreak2k> There.
22:26:12  <ccfreak2k> Moved over to my new host.
22:28:17  <Aali> Yexo: you should probably make it build one-way pbs signals all over
22:28:29  <Eddi|zuHause> @openttd log 2800
22:28:39  <Aali> sometimes a train decides to go back all the way to the station it came from
22:29:19  <Eddi|zuHause> no, i don't need an answer today...
22:29:31  <Yexo> yes, that is a problem, but building one-way pbs signals all over creates other problems, as sometimes a jam can only be solved by one vehicles going backwards
22:29:44  <Yexo> @openttd commit 2800
22:29:45  <DorpsGek> Yexo: Commit by tron :: r2800 trunk/lang/german.txt (2005-08-03 13:34:34 UTC)
22:29:46  <DorpsGek> Yexo: Further improvement of the german translation
22:29:50  <dih> Eddi|zuHause, commit?
22:29:52  <Aali> just put a one-way at the exit then
22:30:07  <Eddi|zuHause> hm... that might be a reason ;)
22:30:15  <dih> :-P
22:30:24  <Aali> oh wait, that doesn't work either
22:30:29  <Yexo> Aali: so not only the last, but also the first signal should be one-way. Good idea!
22:30:39  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: asking the right question is the clue to getting an answer from DorpsGek; it isn't a babyottd-like bot that just says things
22:30:54  <Aali> Yexo: nah, then they wont go backwards
22:31:06  <Yexo> they will, since the depot is after that signal
22:31:33  <Aali> well, the depot is the end of the track
22:31:42  <Yexo> hmm, right
22:31:53  <Aali> so they would basically have to be in the station to go backwards into depot
22:33:07  <Yexo> trains going backward shouldn't happen that much anyway, since (if all is well) a train will be sold if there are too many for the station
22:33:31  <Aali> i guess
22:34:06  <Aali> it happens quite alot in my current game but thats because i've been messing with the AI's tracks :P
22:35:08  <Yexo> main problem is that trains are only sold in the AdmiralAI::DoMaintenance function, and that function isn't called while pathfinding (so if pathfinding takes very long, this can happen a lot)

22:47:48  <Char> are they also impossible to build in tunnels?
22:47:49  <Char> ?

22:52:03  <Char> yeah, well, "that's" would be correct english, i agree :P
22:52:11  <Eddi|zuHause> i've seen a patch that allowed the construction of signals on bridges
22:52:17  <Eddi|zuHause> only the trains did not obey to them :p

22:52:57  <Aali> i made a patch that allowed more than one train to enter a wormhole
22:53:08  <Char> well, but that kindof sucks cause that means you always have to build multiple bridges...
22:53:26  <Char> aali: but they might crash in the wormhole....
22:53:41  <Aali> that was easy to fix, the problem was trains would crash when they came out of the wormhole :P
