00:01:04  <benjamingoodger> hello night owl
00:01:21  <Eddi|zuHause> Nite_Owl: you confuse Sacro.
00:01:46  <Eddi|zuHause> well, view that as an initiation ritus ;)
00:02:01  <Nite_Owl> I have been known to have that effect on people
00:02:33  <Eddi|zuHause> everybody has that effect on Sacro ;)

00:42:02  <Gekz> is that how most german people look? :P

00:47:05  <Fantasya> youtube live on the line!!!!!!
00:47:11  <Patrick> howdo I add all trains on a shared order list to a particular group?
00:47:16  <Sacro_> Rubidium: i need help :'(
00:47:21  <Rubidium> soooluuution.
00:47:24  <Patrick> or, more specifically, upgrade only some trains on some shared order
00:47:42  <SmatZ> Patrick: goto, ctrl+click on train to share orders with
00:48:11  <SmatZ> Patrick: err... "Add shared vehicles" in the Train groups window?
00:48:31  <Eddi|zuHause> Patrick: in the "Manage List" dropdown
00:48:47  <Sacro_> Rubidium: http://www.davros.org/rail/simsig/wtt-format.html is the soec for the file i am parsing
00:48:52  <Patrick> wait wait
00:49:02  <Patrick> you're both telling me the solution to something I almost want to do
00:49:15  <Patrick> add shared vehicles, I have to drag-drop them one at a time
00:49:21  <Eddi|zuHause> you drag one vehicle to the group
00:49:24  <Patrick> autoreplace will replace everything with that engine type
00:49:26  <Eddi|zuHause> then go to the group
00:49:43  <Patrick> aha
00:49:47  <Patrick> add shared vehicles
00:49:47  <Eddi|zuHause> click on the "add shared vehicles to this group" button
00:50:01  <Eddi|zuHause> and then set an autoreplace rule for this group
00:50:06  <Patrick> aha
00:51:13  <Patrick> chaos ensues
00:51:18  <Patrick> followed by a better train
00:52:03  <Eddi|zuHause> i'd much rather have a way to auto-cycle engines to the next lower train class...
00:52:53  <Patrick> hmm
00:52:54  <Patrick> why?
00:53:00  <Patrick> I'm sure you have a reason
00:53:34  <Rubidium> Sacro_: looks pretty trivial to implement (to me at least)
00:53:45  <Sacro_> Rubidium: yeah, I thought that
00:53:50  *** Sacro [~Ben@adsl-87-102-39-137.karoo.KCOM.COM] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:53:55  <Sacro_> But I can't work out how to get bits 0,1,2
00:54:03  <Eddi|zuHause> like if i have express trains with BR 18 and local trains with BR 38
00:54:12  <Eddi|zuHause> then i get the brand new BR 01
00:54:40  <Eddi|zuHause> i want to introduce the BR 01 to the express trains, rotate the BR 18 to the local trains, and slowly phase out the BR 38
00:54:58  <Rubidium> getting bits 0,1 and 2?
00:56:32  <Sacro_> Rubidium: yeah
00:57:16  <Eddi|zuHause> the only way to reasonably do that right now is to autoreplace the BR 18 with BR 01, and autoreplace the BR 38 with BR 18, which doesn't make a lot of sense
00:57:28  <Fantasya> 2 minutes left !!!!!
00:57:35  <benjamingoodger> ¬.¬
00:58:35  * Rubidium really wonders why Sacro can't even parse the document
01:00:03  <Fantasya> 10 seconds
01:00:19  <Fantasya> START!!!!!
01:00:24  <Sacro_> 					byte[] toReturn = new byte[2];
01:00:24  <Sacro_> 					toReturn[1] = breader.ReadByte(); // LSB
01:00:24  <Sacro_> 					toReturn[0] = breader.ReadByte(); // MSB
01:00:24  <Sacro_> 					return toReturn;
01:00:28  <Sacro_> is what i have
01:00:38  <Sacro_> but then I can't get it into a bitarray and extra the data correctly
01:00:42  <SmatZ> hmm I need op to kick for flood :-P
01:00:49  <SmatZ> Sacro_: we have paste.openttd.org for this
01:00:59  <Sacro_> SmatZ: 4 lines, leave me alone :p
01:01:14  <SmatZ> Sacro_: I knew I don't have op ;)

01:01:59  <SmatZ> hmm
01:02:41  <SmatZ> this place is #tycoon-izing slowly :-P
01:03:04  <Eddi|zuHause> lack of acting operator, i think ;)

01:05:07  <Eddi|zuHause> Sacro_: have you ever looked at stuff like the GB macro in openttd?
01:05:53  <Sacro_> Eddi|zuHause: nope, I don't need macros, afaik BitArray does the jkob
01:06:41  * Rubidium thinks Sacro_ has absolutely no idea how computers work and therefor what an application actually does
01:06:46  <Eddi|zuHause> i didn't say you should use macros
01:06:50  <Rubidium> and what would be a sane way to implement it
01:06:57  <Sacro_> Rubidium: the freaky thing is i can imagine how to do it in m68k asm
01:07:02  *** Sacro_ is now known as Sacro
01:07:13  <Rubidium> GB is a macro?
01:07:16  <Eddi|zuHause> i meant that you might want to look at that code, because it does a conversion like the one you probably want to do
01:07:32  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: it used to be ;)
01:07:33  <Sacro> what do I need to convert?
01:08:53  <Sacro> and I can do BitArray.touInt
01:08:57  <Fantasya> youtube FTW
01:08:58  <Fantasya> omg
01:14:09  <Eddi|zuHause> Sacro: you'd probably want something like BitArray.fromInt() or Integer.toBitArray(), if those exist
01:14:32  <Sacro> Eddi|zuHause: I can start a bitarray from an array of bytes
01:14:49  <Eddi|zuHause> so then what is your problem?
01:15:19  <Sacro> it does't seem to be getting the correct data
01:15:45  <Eddi|zuHause> maybe it's not doing what you expect it to do?
01:15:59  <Sacro> I#m not sure if it is or not
01:16:40  <Sacro> ahh
01:16:48  <Sacro> bytes[0] & 1 is bit 0
01:17:01  <Sacro> bytes[0] & 12 is bit 1

01:36:24  <Sacro> can't use it :(
01:36:29  <appe> funny thing with rickroll is that nobody dares to click any links around teh discussion
01:36:30  * Sacro read the licence line

01:38:22  <Sacro> looks like somehow it isn't being read

01:58:31  * Sacro was doing something really stupid
02:01:45  * benjamingoodger toys with concept of saying "clearly", "as usual" or such, then decides it would be excessively cruel
02:01:55  <Sacro> benjamingoodger: mm :(
02:02:10  <Sacro> lets just say that return new byte[] {breader.ReadByte()};
02:02:13  <Sacro> was what I wanted
02:03:00  <Sacro> rather than the perhaps silly thing of returning the value as the size of the array...
02:03:18  <benjamingoodger> very well
02:03:41  <Sacro> but I could have used array.size i suppose

10:42:30  <benjamingoodger> what is it vaguely about? :P
10:43:42  <AgentLeMan> it seems, if a station is longer than 2 tiles, a train that has the option to drive thorugh that station and along a track that includes no station, decides to  drive along the part of track without station

10:47:15  <AgentLeMan> tracklayout : station A --+-- station C --+-- station B    ( the + indicates the switch, where the nonstation track connects to on both sides )
10:47:39  <AgentLeMan> the orders are to go from A to B. the train is just the engine, no cars
10:48:05  <benjamingoodger> ah
10:48:32  <benjamingoodger> is the route that avoids the station shorter at all?
10:50:47  <AgentLeMan> it is longer. imagine a "U"-layout. station A and station B are at the ends of that U, station C in the middle. the stationless track is just "below" that U, if this makes sense ( i could start a mp-server though )
10:51:01  <benjamingoodger> yep, makes perfect sense
10:51:25  <benjamingoodger> hmm
10:51:47  <benjamingoodger> probably best start that mp server if you don't mind
10:51:53  <benjamingoodger> this needs poking at
10:52:16  <AgentLeMan> what i really find weird is... if it would only happen, if the station is shorter than 2, it would not really make sense still, but at least its then something. but 1 AND 2 tiles?
10:52:51  <benjamingoodger> well, 1/2 length stations are far more likely to be waypoints
10:52:51  <Alberth> AgentLeMan: you can try making the 2 tile station path longer
10:53:23  <benjamingoodger> there is a substantially increased likelihood that the longer station will be occupied
10:53:31  <benjamingoodger> what pathfinder are you using?
10:53:50  <AgentLeMan> the recommended. and its a testenvironment, no other trains
10:54:23  <Eddi|zuHause> AgentLeMan: stations that are not in the orders get pathfinder penalty
10:54:43  <Eddi|zuHause> and the penalty gets added for each station tile
10:54:58  <Eddi|zuHause> so the penalty is higher for 3 length platforms than for 2 length platforms
10:55:06  <AgentLeMan> wow :o))
10:55:15  <benjamingoodger> aha!
10:55:26  <Eddi|zuHause> so the platform looks like it is 3 times as long as a normal track
10:55:28  <benjamingoodger> see, whitebox > blackbox testing
10:56:01  <AgentLeMan> so, after 2 tiles the penalty kinda reaches an amount that is enough to make the train go the longer way
10:56:16  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
10:57:04  <Eddi|zuHause> but you can adjust this penalty
10:57:27  <Eddi|zuHause> "list_patches yapf" on the console or something
10:58:22  <Eddi|zuHause> a normal track tile has a penalty of 100
10:58:44  <AgentLeMan> thank you :o) that makes total sense. i tested around for that like hours and was a bit confused
11:01:25  <AgentLeMan> hm... first, the stationless track, was just a 2 tiles away paralell track to the stationtrack.
11:01:54  <AgentLeMan> now it is 20 tiles away
11:02:24  <AgentLeMan> and it still dont drives through the station

11:23:15  <Tefad> i'm not so much a linux fanboy as i am an open source fanboy
11:23:19  <benjamingoodger> I'm telling entirely the truth. I use linux because I'm lazy. it updates itself automatically and doesn't require routine reinstalls, reboots or defrags
11:23:39  <Tefad> i use linux only because of it being more compatible with my hardware than freebsd
11:23:56  <yorick> defrags stopped being needed with xp
11:23:59  <Qball> I use linux because it is the lesser evill
11:24:07  <AgentLeMan> the other thing i saw was... there also is something with stationlength, trainlength and reversing the train.
11:24:08  <valhallasw> yorick: more specifically: with ntfs
11:24:08  <yorick> auto-update is in XPsp2
11:24:12  <Tefad> benjamingoodger: my linux doesn't update itself.
11:24:20  <Tefad> hell my linux breaks itself all the time : D
11:24:41  <yorick> I never needed to reinstall things
11:24:54  <benjamingoodger> apt goes a little further than windows update, methinks
11:25:05  <Tefad> i stopped using windows because of BSODs and other horrible things
11:25:14  <yorick> no condescending application managers...
11:25:30  <valhallasw> for some reason people seem to think windows has not been developed since win98
11:25:39  <AgentLeMan> it seems, if the train is at least 1 tile shorter than the station ( station being 5 tiles long ), it drives through that station on its way to the next station, else it reverses inside the station.
11:25:54  <benjamingoodger> considering windows vista (pre-sp1), that's entirely forgiveable
11:26:14  <Tefad> like uninstalling a wifi driver which removes a vital windows component causing a dialog to pop up even in safe mode, before the login prompt: Windows is missing ____.dll please [fix it] and [restart your computer]."
11:26:18  <benjamingoodger> one wonders why microsoft decided to remove interruptive multitasking from the original vista

14:35:39  <Wolf01> if I want to allow construction of uphill tracks on diagonal slopes, how I should modify the allowed track bits?
14:36:10  <mrfrenzy> Is that physically possible?
14:37:09  <benjamingoodger> so long as the track doesn't intersect with the land... *shrug*
14:37:20  <frosch123> Wolf01: modify GetRailFoundation and ApplyFoundationToSlope and DrawFoundation
14:37:51  <Wolf01> yes I know, I and a friend are trying for about 1 hour to do something
14:38:20  <mrfrenzy> I mean is it possible IRL
14:38:31  <benjamingoodger> so long as the track doesn't intersect with the land
14:39:07  <mrfrenzy> aah you mean you have to level enough land on the slope ofcourse so the track is level
14:39:07  * Wolf01 http://wolf01.game-host.org/OTTD_related/sloped_tracks.PNG
14:39:26  <Wolf01> we want to allow this
14:39:42  <benjamingoodger> that'll easily work IRL
14:39:46  <mrfrenzy> aha, that's not what I was thinking at all
14:39:54  <mrfrenzy> indeed it is
14:40:18  <SmatZ> Wolf01: I had a simple patch for it somewhere
14:40:25  <SmatZ> but I don't have anymore :-p
14:40:27  <frosch123> Wolf01: you will have to concentrate the uphill track on one tile, else you will get a lot of trouble
14:41:13  <SmatZ> also, you will have "double steepness" and uphill-stright combinations
14:41:13  <frosch123> to be precise: the slope with one corner raised, as the three-corner-raised slope can already have a track it that direction
14:41:26  <SmatZ> or you will have to merge those two trackbits into one, blahblah

15:25:55  <yorick> it doesn't even teleport the wagons...
15:26:19  <SmatZ> you can always do Vehicle *u = v->First()
15:26:22  <frosch123> lol, maybe you should modify u

17:41:16  <Eddi|zuHause> <benjamingoodger> basically, we choose between two sets of autocrats every five years <- that's what you get from a majority representation system instead of a proportional representation system ;)
17:41:36  <benjamingoodger> quite
17:41:38  <Eddi|zuHause> of course, both systems have their flaws
17:41:51  <benjamingoodger> yes
17:41:59  <benjamingoodger> PR doesn't achieve a great deal
17:42:09  <Eddi|zuHause> germany used a purely proportional system between 1919 and 1933
17:42:24  <benjamingoodger> MR achieves a great deal, but generally does it without the consent of the people the achievements affect
17:42:27  <Eddi|zuHause> which made them end up with a certain leader guy
17:42:31  <benjamingoodger> yes, I remember
17:42:55  <benjamingoodger> it worked well until the country hyperinflated
17:43:44  <Eddi|zuHause> no, the hyperinflation was in the beginning, it worked better after the system stabilised, but then the american economy crash happend, and everything was down the drain
17:43:56  <Eddi|zuHause> because practically the whole economy was built by american credits
17:45:56  <benjamingoodger> indeed
17:49:28  <benjamingoodger> right, methinks my personal statement is as good as it will get... sending now
17:49:52  <benjamingoodger> oh, bugger
17:49:57  <benjamingoodger> all chat rooms look alike
17:50:13  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, after 1945, they installed kind of a hybrid system in (west) germany
17:50:52  <Eddi|zuHause> where one half of the seats of the "Bundestag" get distributed by majority vote, and the other half by proportional vote
17:51:51  <Eddi|zuHause> and a "5% proportional or 3 majority seats" rule for minimum requirements, to reduce number of (usually radical) tiny parties
17:52:40  <benjamingoodger> aha
17:52:52  <benjamingoodger> that seems to be what sweden lacks
17:53:08  <Eddi|zuHause> afaik there was one case where a party reached 3 majority seats without getting 5% of the proportional votes
17:53:33  <Eddi|zuHause> and suddenly everybody shrieked... "where did this loophole come from?"

19:15:48  <Patrick> well, it's so stupidly easy to make money

19:15:52  <Patrick> nope
19:15:57  <Patrick> 3 planes brought me in 1.5 million a year.
19:16:01  <Patrick> I consider that too easy
19:16:16  <Patrick> so I use them as an unofficial "loan"
19:16:31  <benjamingoodger> oh, I see
19:16:37  <Patrick> it would be great if your maximum loan changed as a function of company value
19:16:49  <Patrick> like, I've made my first mil, but I want to fund a primary industry or something silly huge

20:35:30  <yorick> why?
20:35:41  <Swallow> I have a comment regarding your feeder share patch
20:36:03  <Swallow> consider the following situation: A runs a train company, and B a local bus company...
20:36:10  <yorick> mhm
20:36:16  <Swallow> A delivers pax to the central station...
20:36:35  <yorick> mhm
20:36:37  <Swallow> the passengers rot there for a month, and then B brings them to the final station
20:36:42  <yorick> mhm
20:37:12  <Swallow> Final payment will now be lower than the transfer credits for A
20:37:27  <Swallow> So B will receive a negative payment :)
20:37:36  <yorick> yes
20:38:06  <Swallow> I doubt that players will like that
20:38:20  <mrfrenzy> that seems pretty realistic to mee
20:38:26  <yorick> B also would if he'd get the feeder share
20:38:31  <mrfrenzy> if passengers have to wait for a month they would demand compensation
20:38:47  <yorick> negative income animation is shown, but feeder shares are paid

22:47:29  <benjamingoodger> but over the course of the whole thing, it's making profit

22:49:02  <appe> the train has this route: Station 1: Transfer and take cargo (the iron ore) -> Station 2: Transfer and leave empty (to the steel mill).
22:49:29  <appe> if using "Transfer and leave empty" for Station 2, it leaves the cargo on the station, and it just sits there. the steel mill doesnt process it.

22:50:08  <appe> if using "Unload" it unloads all the goods, but doesnt bring any income what so ever, it costs me money.
22:50:11  <appe> and i dont understand it.
22:50:55  <appe> although, if i unload it the steel mill processes it, and then the steel may be re-sent
22:51:22  <appe> what i dont understand is why the big ass iron ore train doesnt get payed.

23:25:01  <appe> :D
23:25:05  <appe> i still dont get it
23:25:11  <appe> the train does go minus.
23:25:16  <appe> let me give you a new save.
23:25:22  <AgentLeMan> train #82 you mean?
23:25:29  <Aali> appe: what are you trying to do?

23:25:47  <AgentLeMan> Aali, one way feederservice
23:25:53  <appe> Aali: im trying to get a transfer train to go +.
23:26:10  <appe> all the little trains driving iron ore to the transfer station has a + income
23:26:23  <appe> and the train that collects the steel from the steel mill to the factory
23:26:44  <appe> but not the train that collects iron ore from the transfer station, and brings it for process at the steel mill.
23:27:09  <appe> on the latest save (see url) it's train #82 and #91
23:27:17  <AgentLeMan> appe, as i see it train #82 makes a negative profit, because it has to transfer all that stuff from sooo many stations, so often, it only transfers stuff from only a few, so the other cargo lays there for ages around.
23:27:41  <appe> the iron ore on the big station lies to long?
23:27:48  <appe> ah, ok
23:27:51  *** DephNet[Paul] [~paul@host81-156-74-176.range81-156.btcentralplus.com] has joined #openttd
23:28:17  <Aali> appe: get rid of the unload order
23:28:26  <appe> ok
23:28:27  <Aali> just use a regular goto order
23:28:42  <AgentLeMan> and... if there lays cargo from 20 stations, 82 will only load cargo from 5 or so, so it can be, that cargo from some stations never gets to the targetstation
23:29:14  <appe> oh, ok
23:29:42  <appe> if i add another train (hence emptying the tranfer station more often) i can get better results?
23:30:00  <AgentLeMan> oooh appe!
23:30:22  * appe add four clones
23:30:44  <Aali> ah
23:30:49  <AgentLeMan> hm, no, sorry, i thought, train #56 ALSO transports ore
23:30:51  <Aali> this is just how feeder shares work
23:30:58  <Aali> you are making money
23:31:04  <appe> ok
23:31:18  <appe> shit, i have to clone alot of trains
23:31:25  <Aali> but the transfer trains get too much money
23:31:43  <Aali> so the large trains "lose" money to make up for it
23:31:46  <appe> ah, ok
23:31:50  <appe> aha
23:31:52  <appe> aaah!
23:32:02  <appe> a switch in my head went on
23:32:07  <appe> the logic falls into place.
23:32:10  <appe> thanks.
23:32:48  <Nite_Owl> Feeder lines = short  final destination lines = long(er)
23:33:07  <appe> yes

23:34:48  <AgentLeMan> but isnt it also written, that only the last train makes the profit?
23:35:49  <Aali> you don't get anything unless you actually deliver the cargo
23:35:57  * appe funds new iron ore mines
23:36:01  <Aali> but you still get transfer money
23:36:04  <AgentLeMan> appe, you could make it a bit faster, if you use a two-way-tunnel for train #82, so it doesnt get botherd by the graintrains
23:36:12  <Aali> (not real money)
23:36:32  <AgentLeMan> Aali, but thanks also, i was all the time confused about the negative income, makes totally sense now

23:37:41  *** [alt]buster is now known as [com]buster
23:37:53  <Aali> its quite confusing indeed, but as you can't know what the final profit will be, its hard to "fix"
23:38:27  <Aali> appe: you could make it a bit faster by getting rid of all those awfully narrow corners :P
23:39:44  <Aali> 2x45 curves are awful and 90 degree curves shouldn't even be allowed :P
23:41:18  <AgentLeMan> im saying
23:41:26  <Eddi|zuHause> only use 360° turns, they are the most superior ;)
23:42:39  <AgentLeMan> LOL
23:42:58  <Eddi|zuHause> shh... not so loud in the middle of the night
23:44:26  <appe> :D
23:44:38  <AgentLeMan> °slams hammer on letters°
23:44:42  <AgentLeMan> lol
23:44:52  <appe> hehe
23:44:59  <appe> im way to lazy to fix it now
23:45:06  <AgentLeMan> appe: the #82 train is very important
23:45:27  <appe> train 82?
23:45:35  <appe> thats a normal iron ore shipper.
23:46:22  <AgentLeMan> i changed it, so it now has 1 rail, an additional stationpart for itself, which leads into a long tunnel towards its goal, there are oinly 2 curves, which are like 30°
23:46:35  <appe> oh, ok.
23:47:07  <Aali> 30 degree curves? what game are you playing? :D
23:47:20  <AgentLeMan> that way, it wont be bothered by #56 and #81
23:47:28  <appe> http://fac.dndr.se/poo/Farhead%20Transport,%2016th%20Aug%202186.sav
23:47:42  <AgentLeMan> Aali, okok, its more like 45°
23:47:50  <AgentLeMan> sorry.
23:48:01  <Aali> :)
23:48:20  <AgentLeMan> but also appe, with that tunnel, you can basically make #82 infinitely long
23:48:32  <Aali> anyway, what matters is how far apart those 45 degree curves are
23:48:34  <appe> i dont get it
23:48:39  <appe> 82 doesnt have to be long
23:48:43  <appe> and it doesnt have to be perfect
23:49:00  <appe> since its a two truck iron ore transfer train
23:49:29  <AgentLeMan> but it looks nicer :oD and is less messy
23:50:00  <appe> :)
23:50:51  <AgentLeMan> although, that saved game has only a minimal maximum (?) amount of prettyness to achieve, its just a bit much all in all
23:51:28  <appe> yeah
23:51:32  <appe> i wish i did a bigger map.
23:51:32  <appe> :>
23:51:44  <AgentLeMan> and i officially vow, i wont ever switch to those fast trains . im getting dizzy by the fluttering :o(
23:52:19  <appe> thats the thing i like
23:52:25  <appe> i want it to look like a processor running.
23:52:25  <appe> :D
23:52:39  <Aali> your processor must be very slow :/
23:52:41  <appe> time to get some sleep
23:52:42  <appe> hehe
23:52:44  <appe> kisses!
23:52:59  <AgentLeMan> bye appew
23:53:01  <AgentLeMan> -w
23:53:45  <AgentLeMan> Aali °grins° aye, im feeling kinda the urge to take some 12 hours and rework the whole thing
23:54:50  <Aali> nah, flatworld and no grfs, i can't play like that anymore
23:55:04  <Aali> its too ugly
23:55:04  <AgentLeMan>
23:55:29  <AgentLeMan> well... waht about this :
23:55:56  <AgentLeMan> destory stationn #59, make a huge volcano, then try to make profit
