08:49:50  <Arsonide> So
08:49:58  <Arsonide> Apparently there are some high resolution graphics for this somewhere
08:50:18  <Arsonide> But I'm not familiar with the terminology you guys use...so I'm not even sure what I'm looking for.
08:57:38  <Eddi|zuHause> possibly you mean "32bpp extra zoom levels", but they are not supported in the official version
09:00:38  <Arsonide> They're gorgeous though
09:00:46  *** [com]buster [~Combuster@82-171-220-59.ip.telfort.nl] has joined #openttd
09:06:23  <Arsonide> I assume using new graphics isn't allowed in multiplayer games?

09:06:41  *** [com]buster is now known as Combuster
09:11:46  <petern> why not?
09:12:54  <Arsonide> In most games using modified files in multiplayer is prohibited. I guess it would affect this game less though.
09:13:03  <Arsonide> I was asking if it was or not
09:14:05  <Forked> modified files != newgrf I belive.. modified is probably "I changed the source code to cheat"?
09:16:12  <Arsonide> And newgrf is the term you use for these 32bpp extra zoom level graphics?
09:17:57  <petern> no

09:46:18  <[wito]> I accidentally my nick. :P
09:47:12  <[wito]> anyway, has anyone had any success with express lines, e.g. to an airport, where the trains only load (and don't unload) on the way to the gathering point?

09:53:33  *** Progman [~progman@p57A1E098.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
09:57:20  <Timitry> Just use normal load + no unloading orders for the normal stations, and transfer orders at the airport
10:01:13  *** fjb_ is now known as fjb
10:01:44  <[wito]> Well
10:01:50  <[wito]> given stations A B C and airport D
10:02:09  <[wito]> with those orders, wouldn't that lead to loading at A, unloading and loading at B, etc. until transfer at D?
10:02:34  <[wito]> What I want is passengers from A, B and C delivered at D
10:02:48  <[wito]> without passengers from A at B or from B at C
10:02:50  <Eddi|zuHause> no, because you tell it to "not unload" at B
10:03:05  <[wito]> there is a no unloading order?
10:03:28  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, in 0.7.0, in the dropdown with "full load"
10:04:11  <[wito]> ah
10:04:17  <[wito]> I have 0.6.3
10:06:40  <[wito]> Also, am I understanding the documentation correctly in that station_spread is safe for huge values as long as you are using YAPF?
10:07:53  <Eddi|zuHause> probably not ;)
10:08:50  <[wito]> heh
10:08:56  <[wito]> large+sane, then?
10:09:03  <[wito]> (16-20)
10:09:17  <Eddi|zuHause> cargo delivery from houses to stations is probably the most influental part with station spread
10:09:33  <energetic> cargo from houses?
10:09:44  <Eddi|zuHause> passengers? mail?
10:10:01  * energetic checks definition of cargo....
10:10:10  <energetic> thought it was cargo==goods
10:10:13  <energetic> never mind
10:10:44  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, if you have a halfway modern computer, you should not have any real problems with station spreaD
10:11:06  <energetic> err my bad cargo=payload != goods
10:12:00  <Eddi|zuHause> i have no idea what a payload is
10:12:20  <energetic> great :) we be learning both something today ;)
10:13:15  <energetic> i was hoping on a scret trick to generate goods out of houses there
10:13:28  <Eddi|zuHause> you are misinterpreting my sentencethen
10:13:52  <energetic> no, i was using the wrong definition of cargo ;)
10:14:21  <Eddi|zuHause> i meant the other sentence
10:16:35  <energetic> which?

10:40:01  <[wito]> it appears my junction of choice (the cloverleaf) sort of breaks down with YAPP
10:40:30  <[wito]> that could be because the inner tracks aren't long enough, tho', and thus gives no safe waiting positions. :/
10:40:42  <Timitry> look at this page:
10:40:43  <Timitry> http://wiki.openttd.org/wiki/index.php/User:Timitry/4-way_junctions
10:40:48  <Timitry> just created it
10:41:00  <Timitry> and use the SECOND cloverleaf!
10:41:08  <Timitry> as written there...

10:45:55  <Eddi|zuHause> Timitry: why does it say "3 way" on the heading but then show "4 way" pictures?
10:50:16  <Eddi|zuHause> i hate the opengfx rails...
10:50:46  <Eddi|zuHause> they are too dark, and they look like rendered/anti-aliased without proper hinting, so everything gets somehow fuzzy
10:51:49  <petern> heh, yeah
10:53:09  <Noldo> beats a black box
10:54:13  <Eddi|zuHause> on the contrary, the existence of this "bad" track prevents designing a proper track graphic
10:54:21  <Ammler> did someone already make bad experience with path_backoff_interval = 1 ?
10:54:43  <Eddi|zuHause> what's that do?
10:54:45  <Noldo> Eddi|zuHause: how?
10:55:13  <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: it tells the train, how long it should wait to search for a new path
10:55:15  <Eddi|zuHause> Noldo: as in "we already have this one, we should focus on missing sprites first"
10:55:17  <Ammler> afaik
10:55:34  <Noldo> Eddi|zuHause: that's just delaying
10:55:35  <Ammler> default is 20
10:56:06  <Ammler> which we think is very high
10:56:59  <petern> you would
10:57:05  <petern> it's there for a reason, though
10:57:30  <Singaporekid> Is anyone still using IE6?
10:57:42  <Ammler> hmm, someone changed it on a 2k trains map
10:57:45  <Eddi|zuHause> it is the time to wait to retry reserving a path after one reservation failed, right?
10:57:51  <Ammler> he didn't see a difference
10:57:56  <Timitry> petern: "argh, junction examples :(" <--- still better than the crap currently on the wiki, and it's not for advanced players, anyway, and those are tutorials that might help new players to develop their own junctions
10:58:30  <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: yes, that was one of the reasons for some to not like pbs on fast tracks.
10:58:32  <Timitry> Eddi|zuHause: "why does it say "3 way" on the heading but then show "4 way" pictures?" ---> Copied the 3-way page, it's now fixed, thanks

11:09:29  <Eddi|zuHause> a few general rules of thumb with YAPP: 1) forget everything you know about signals, 2) replace entry signals with one-way signals, 3) replace two-way-exit signals with two-way path signals facing the station, remove one-way-exit signals, 4) less is more in many cases
11:10:00  <[wito]> Eddi|zuHause: the first one is the toughest to get your head around. :P
11:10:40  <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: 2way signals on terminus stations are just eye-candy

11:11:11  <[wito]> Ammler: that's only true with YAPP, no?

11:15:37  <Timitry> ugly 2*45°-curves
11:15:39  <Ammler> if you add safe waiting, you have also to double the line

11:49:10  <Zahl> hmm... could faulty newgrfs cause memleaks?
11:49:27  <[wito]> soylent steel, eh?
11:49:57  <Eddi|zuHause> Zahl: no, grfs have only limited storage space
11:50:08  <Zahl> hm ok
11:55:00  <Zahl> Eddi|zuHause: which os are you running?
11:55:11  <Eddi|zuHause> why does that matter?
11:55:31  <dihedral> depending on the os, towns grow faster
11:55:58  <dihedral> + you get grf's for windows *w.grf which do not run on linux or mac :-D
11:56:10  <Zahl> well someone has to tell me its either normal that the game constantly uses more mem (about 8k per second with a big game) or tell me its my computer :P
11:56:58  <Rubidium> Zahl: as long as I can't reproduce it, I can't fix it
11:56:59  <dihedral> are you just missing mem or can you see that it is openttd?
11:57:19  <Zahl> Rubidium: i can send you my savegame... but as you already said, it might be a windows issue
11:57:28  <Zahl> dihedral: i can watch it in the taskmanager
11:57:52  <dihedral> well - if Rubidium looked at it ;-)
11:57:58  <Zahl> dihedral: it starts at ~30Meg and goes up to like 200 if i leave it running long enough

11:58:46  <dihedral> Zahl: it's not the savegame!
11:58:56  <dihedral> oh - wait - you run a patched client?
11:59:19  <Zahl> dihedral: yes, but also happens in the trunk version
11:59:29  <Zahl> and the only think that i modifies is pretty much ticks per day
11:59:44  <Ammler> isn't it just that every cargo packet produce mem?
11:59:47  <dihedral> yes but? on a new game it also happensin trunk?
12:00:24  <Ammler> so you might have a lot waiting cargos :-)
12:00:52  <Zahl> dihedral: seems so, but i did not play a recent version with that many trains.. but anyways... loading this savegame in the trunk version should not behave like that anyway shoud it?
12:01:29  <dihedral> you play a patched client
12:01:29  <dihedral> totally not interesting
12:01:55  <dihedral> and you got Rubidiums opinion on it already - you should valuethat
12:02:21  <dihedral> rather than running around to everybody else who dares to engage in the conversation
12:02:25  <Zahl> well it will take me some time to get a savegame as big as that one in trunk but i'll try :-O
12:02:38  <dihedral> how many trains?
12:02:48  <Zahl> about 1k i think
12:03:25  <dihedral> then you could download a sav from openttdcoop games
12:03:48  <Ammler> Zahl: your save works with trunk
12:03:53  <planetmaker> indeed. E.g. get #131. It's only 600 or so, but 600 vehicles, too
12:04:06  <Zahl> i'll try that
12:04:12  <Ammler> uses 100% of my cpu
12:04:18  <planetmaker> :O
12:05:09  <Ammler> well 70%
12:05:40  <Ammler> but no mem
12:06:12  <Eddi|zuHause> i only know "no ma'am"
12:06:18  <dihedral> Zahl: works steady and fine for me
12:06:38  <Zahl> ...
12:06:44  <dihedral> but i am on a mac, so if that should be a win issue i dont know
12:07:00  <dihedral> if the issue is related to win - you just lost ^^
12:07:51  <dihedral> and that is a clean version of OpenTTD
12:10:43  <Zahl> well i got a ottdcoop game now, same thing with recent trunk version...
12:11:00  <Zahl> ok using newgrfs
12:11:13  <Zahl> i'll leave it running for an hour or so
12:11:14  <Rubidium> Zahl: even a normal game without newgrfs and/or vehicles causes the same behaviour?
12:11:14  <dihedral> unpatched game i hope
12:11:21  <Zahl> to see it it stays like that in the ling run
12:11:58  <Zahl> Rubidium: problem is i don't have a bug game with a recent clean trunk version... it will take me some time to achieve that, but i will try ;)
12:12:00  <Ammler> how long does it take to have "the effect"?
12:12:03  <Zahl> big*
12:12:03  <dihedral> Zahl: what os (exactly)
12:12:10  <Zahl> winxp sp3
12:12:35  <dihedral> then i should be able to reproduce that when i get home
12:12:38  <dihedral> or at least try
12:12:46  <dihedral> and i will not use any patches
12:12:53  <dihedral> if you patch your game that is your own fault ^^
12:13:18  <Ammler> :-)
12:13:27  <Zahl> yeah i know, this is why i'm not starting a big "zomg this game has memleakz" thread in the forums ;)
12:14:01  <dihedral> but you file a bug report!!!!
12:14:14  <dihedral> at least in the forums we could bash you right now :-P
12:14:17  <dihedral> hihi
12:14:39  <dihedral> i loaded the map in clean trunk and it's fine
12:14:41  <dihedral> oh wait
12:14:53  <dihedral> what rev are you playing when you say 'clean trunk'
12:14:57  <Eddi|zuHause> hm... sometimes, when i used my volume keys, kmix eats all my keyboard input :(
12:15:19  <dihedral> ^^
12:15:31  <Zahl> and i admit i don't know the source too well, but i just wonder: would it actually be possible that some stupid stuff a patch does gets into a savegame and causes a memleak even in the trunk version?
12:15:39  <Zahl> dihedral: r15599
12:15:41  <Ammler> r15553

12:34:39  <Eddi|zuHause> and the brick viaduct
12:34:54  <planetmaker> ah, brick viaduct might be what I wondered about
12:35:17  <Rubidium> dihedral: AFAIK squirrel doesn't leak anymore, but given the way you said it: could you give me the game where it leaks?
12:35:18  <petern> not really
12:35:26  <petern> if you go over the limit they'll just end up in the default class
12:36:03  <petern> it is 32 as that was the limit on dropdowns when it was made
12:36:42  <planetmaker> ah... :) That explains why I sometimes have more than the default station in the first entry?
12:36:53  <planetmaker> I always assumed that it was a grf modifying that.
12:36:56  <petern> yup
12:37:17  <Eddi|zuHause> the buffers grf adds to the default station
12:37:38  <planetmaker> yes. But I once at least had more :)

12:42:58  <planetmaker> hm...
12:43:07  <Rubidium> dihedral: so it can also be that openttd got killed, then another process in another VPS got more memory, wasted that too, got killed and then you looked how much memory was free
12:43:39  <Rubidium> planetmaker: virtual memory includes stuff like opened 'files'

14:42:31  <planetmaker> Rubidium: with respect to translation and 1,000 € vs. 1.000 € vs. 10,00.00 €... There's a number of strings which go like "{BLUE}{COMMA}"-
14:42:55  <planetmaker> doesn't the {COMMA} denote how the number is spaced for bigger numbers?
14:43:29  <Rubidium> no, just that it is
14:43:39  <planetmaker> So far I have no idea on the use of that {COMMA} - I assumed to replace it by {DOT}

14:48:27  <Eddi|zuHause> as for the Language-{COMMA}-Separator, i had a patch for that.
14:48:35  <Ammler> and currency is a local setting, not language :P
14:48:40  <Rubidium> as I said... whether commas, dots or spaces are used isn't a language decision
14:50:52  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, languages cannot override currency settings.
14:53:05  <planetmaker> hm... ok, so not translatable change then :)
14:53:06  <[wito]> speaking of currency settings
14:53:20  <[wito]> is the #{sep}### format hard-coded?
14:53:20  <Eddi|zuHause> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/2287 <- but has nothing to do with currencies
14:53:31  *** wollollo [~martin@dyn1204-191.wlan.ic.ac.uk] has joined #openttd
14:53:36  <[wito]> because some currencies should have groups of 4, not 3
14:53:43  <[wito]> (most notably JPY
14:54:10  <Rubidium> [wito]: yes
14:54:46  <Rubidium> and then JPY isn't the hard one to support; the Indian format'll be the hard one
14:55:02  <[wito]> how is the indian one?
14:56:35  <Rubidium> 1,000 1,00,000 1,00,00,000 1,000,00,000 (or that's what I understand from wikipedia)
14:56:38  <[wito]> but actually, the separator concern would apply to all numbers in the Japanese translation
14:58:19  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: so alternating groups of 2 and 3?
14:58:31  <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: your patch would need something like a 2. base language, so you could make language files for de_CH and use de as base, but don't need to replace all strings.
14:58:49  <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: yes, we discussed that already ;)
14:59:14  <Eddi|zuHause> possibly add a "##fallback" pragma?
14:59:15  <Ammler> oh, indded, might be :-)
14:59:39  <[wito]> so changing number formats in translation a no-go on the whole?
15:00:05  <Rubidium> haven't I said that like a three times already?
15:00:12  <[wito]> yaeh
15:00:28  <[wito]> or actually, I kept subtly rephrasing the question. ;)
15:00:32  <[wito]> Anyway, bbl
15:00:32  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: I don't know how the indian numbering actually works
15:03:19  <Rubidium> comma is used at levels of thousand (1000), lakh (100 000) and crore (10 000 000) which would suggest at 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, ...
15:05:30  <Rubidium> but then the wiki seems very inconsistent to me
15:10:44  <petern> handy

15:15:52  <planetmaker> Belugas: yeah... :S that'd be a nice look :)

16:12:46  <Firzen> How to solve a new grf conflict?
16:12:50  <Eddi|zuHause> err... i don't think this "example" fits your statement
16:12:57  <Eddi|zuHause> Firzen: deactivate one.
16:13:02  <Firzen> Do the clients need to download the grf files manually?
16:13:37  <Eddi|zuHause> Firzen: if the GRFs are not available on the content server, they have to be downloaded manually
16:13:48  <Firzen> Ok.
16:14:00  <Eddi|zuHause> an established quasi-standard for that is the Coop-GRFPack
16:14:27  <Eddi|zuHause> which should contain about 98% of the GRFs found on servers
16:14:56  <Brokkoli> it does not ;)
16:15:08  <Brokkoli> but at least about 80% *g*
16:15:21  <TrueBrain> nobody likes a smartass

16:15:56  <Brokkoli> try the crawler http://grfcrawler.tt-forums.net/ to find the grfs
16:16:33  <planetmaker> that's no good way, if you want people join your server. You need a central grf repository for that
16:16:57  <Brokkoli> but u dont have...
16:17:19  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: no 0% of all statistics are made up on the spot
16:17:25  <planetmaker> well... bananas is one. And the coop grfpack is the predecessor with some grfs more
16:17:32  <Brokkoli> if you want people to join your server, only use bananas grfs

16:17:49  <Brokkoli> yes the coop is ok
16:17:51  <planetmaker> We won't include bananas content anymore, though
16:17:59  <Brokkoli> why?
16:18:02  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: well, basically, that is a direct lemma of "Do not trust a statistics that you did not fake yourself"
16:18:14  <planetmaker> Brokkoli: why should we? It's much work to update.
16:18:22  <Brokkoli> not to much
16:18:29  <planetmaker> And bananas is usually more up to date.
16:18:31  <Brokkoli> and i think its worth the work
16:18:37  <planetmaker> Brokkoli: you did it already several times, eh?
16:18:51  <Brokkoli> no i didn't
16:18:58  <TrueBrain> I see this channel gained an other know-it-all
16:19:13  * planetmaker wonders how people aways see things other people do as "not much work"...
16:19:27  <Ammler> we we only delete grfs from the pack anymore, I hope ;-)
16:19:31  <Brokkoli> ok sorry i havn't meant it that way
16:20:32  <Rubidium> planetmaker: is it much work for them? No, then it's not much work
16:20:34  <planetmaker> main reason is: bananas is up to date.
16:20:47  <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: if you can convice MB to put the DBSet 0.9 on bananas ;)
16:20:48  <planetmaker> Rubidium: :)
16:21:00  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: I'll definitely give it a try :)
16:21:20  <Brokkoli> or the newships
16:21:23  <Brokkoli> would be great
16:21:32  <planetmaker> But then, I think, it was easier, if bananas allowed to download the grfs via webinterface
16:21:39  <planetmaker> That way also TTDP users could use it.
16:21:48  <Eddi|zuHause> i wouldn't hope for a near release of another newships grf
16:21:57  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: or TTDP could use the open protocol to make an ingame thingy too! :)
16:22:09  <Brokkoli> ok not a new but the old one.. for the "bananas-only" users
16:22:09  <glx> TrueBrain: I'm following your howto crosscompile for mac, works quite well (I already have i686-apple-darwin9)
16:22:10  <Rubidium> planetmaker: nothing prevents them from implementing the protocol
16:22:20  <planetmaker> That'd be the nicer solution, certainly :)
16:22:28  <TrueBrain> glx: yeah ... when I write documentation, it mostly adds up ;)
16:22:36  <TrueBrain> nice to see there is still interest in that ;)
16:22:44  <Ammler> don't think there will be big new feature for ttdp anymore.
16:23:27  <TrueBrain> then why bother at all ;)
16:23:46  <glx> TrueBrain: it's more like we have a weird problem with osx 10.3.9 nightlies (and we don't know yet what cause it) ;)
16:23:54  <Ammler> well, but something for the server admins would be nice.
16:23:55  <TrueBrain> glx: so I read
16:24:08  <TrueBrain> and by the lack of a certain person to produce any binary for 10.3.9 .. I guess it isn't going anywhere either ;)
16:24:12  <Eddi|zuHause> OpenTTD would not be where it is now if it did not have TTDPatch to lead it (feature-wise)
16:24:16  <planetmaker> TrueBrain: dedicated servers :)

16:24:34  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: and visa versa ;)
16:24:48  <planetmaker> And it would make grf authors more comfortable, I think, as their work is then available from _one_ place, even without a client
16:25:37  <glx> TrueBrain: yeah, that's why we need another way to try things ;)
16:25:42  <planetmaker> "it's not much work to implement a download of the tars" :P
16:25:45  * planetmaker hides
16:25:51  <glx> btw I have a 10.3.9 pearpc VM
16:25:55  <Ammler> TrueBrain: currently, you have to load a save local and transfer the content to the server...
16:25:56  <TrueBrain> glx: creating your own i686-apple-darwin9 most likely won't really help
16:26:03  <Rubidium> TTDP seems to be killing itself by not making a new release and thus having people disregard it as they downloaded the stable and can't get many things working
16:26:13  *** |Japa| [~Japa@117.201.98.126] has joined #openttd
16:26:15  <TrueBrain> glx: the problem might be in the fact it is darwin9 .. you might also want to try darwin8, although there shouldn't be any difference :)
16:26:22  <planetmaker> Rubidium: might be, yeah
16:26:51  <TrueBrain> Ammler: then I wonder how I download AIs via my dedicated server
16:26:58  <glx> but the weird thing is it stopped working without any changes
16:27:02  <TrueBrain> I guess it is my imagination that those files get where they should go ...
16:27:15  <Eddi|zuHause> so i am not the only one who finds it weird that they started 2.6.alphas before finishing a 2.5 release?
16:27:23  <TrueBrain> glx: well, that might be only perspective :) No 'registered' changes ;)
16:27:41  <TrueBrain> I think it is a relocation error .. might be the binary size, might be the blocksize ..
16:27:42  <TrueBrain> who knows :)
16:28:28  <TrueBrain> glx: but having a VM to test on, might greatly help solving the problem ;)
16:28:49  <Ammler> TrueBrain: workaround was to download all, indeed.
16:29:24  <Ammler> but that might fail, if a older version is needed.
16:29:44  <TrueBrain> 'a server' and 'older version needed' doesn't combine
16:29:46  <TrueBrain> ever
16:30:02  <TrueBrain> as even as client you can't download an 'older' version (unless you join an already running server with an older version)
16:30:59  <TrueBrain> glx: anyway, good luck ;) I hope you can find something .. let me know if you need anything :)
16:31:14  <Eddi|zuHause> you can, if you e.g. run a 0.7.x server and 0.8-nightly, some grfs might be flagged as "requires 0.8-nightly", while an older version of that grf might be available for 0.7.x
16:31:17  <TrueBrain> (I would btw start with compiling OpenTTD under 10.3.9 natively, see if that fixes theproblem ;))
16:31:37  <Eddi|zuHause> so if you run both servers with the same data-directory
16:31:46  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: a non-issue for the situation Ammler created
16:32:16  *** const86 [~const@tower.mimas.ru] has joined #openttd
16:32:42  <Eddi|zuHause> maybe you accidently updated, and want to roll back to the older version, because you did not like the changes?
16:33:16  <Ammler> that is even not possible for the uploader ihimself
16:33:36  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: and having a method to download via the websites solves that ... how? :p
16:33:52  <Eddi|zuHause> hm... that might be a point ;)

16:57:20  <Brokkoli> i've got an idea about a new "pbs signal" there are now pbs and pbs-one-way... sometimes i'd need a thing which acts as a pbs-one-way from one side - blocking the way back - but from the othere side there should not be a valid stopping position.. so it's no signal at all... just kinda "oneway-sign" for tracks
16:57:24  <Brokkoli> how about that?
16:58:03  <Eddi|zuHause> wow, a completely new never-heard suggestion! how rare is that!
16:58:33  <planetmaker> lol @ Eddi|zuHause & Brokkoli
16:58:41  <planetmaker> Brokkoli: play the game, test the signals and find out
16:58:58  <planetmaker> or look into the wiki
16:58:59  <Brokkoli> there is no signal like that
16:59:06  <Brokkoli> or is it?
16:59:18  <planetmaker> have you played with path signals actually?
16:59:25  <Eddi|zuHause> no, there is not, and i don't think there will be
16:59:26  <Brokkoli> sure
16:59:42  <Brokkoli> why not?
17:00:08  <Brokkoli> sometimes i got problems with trains turning around.. and going the wrong way.. because there is nothing like that
17:00:14  <planetmaker> you cannot block one way and at the same time allow passing through from that side
17:00:31  <Eddi|zuHause> the two remaining signal types are kinda-reserved for "advance" (yellow) path signals
17:00:34  <Brokkoli> from the other side

17:35:26  <Eddi|zuHause> the problem is you cannot reliably tell the slow trains to not attempt overtaking
17:36:14  <|Japa|> I guess I have to test with different distances between crossovers
17:36:43  <Eddi|zuHause> (also, realistically, the slow train will go on the "wrong" track, you can't model that properly either)
17:37:43  <|Japa|> I wonder if there's a good way to handle trains of different speeds on the same track
17:38:02  <Eddi|zuHause> |Japa|: i have given up on attempting a bi-directional double track. they are usually too crowded in either direction, that overtaking is simply not possible, and if overtaking is possible, the wrong train attempts the overtake
17:38:05  <[wito]> I've been doing a bit of testing with that
17:38:25  <[wito]> not with PBS, tho'
17:38:27  <[wito]> that's what I'm going to test now
17:38:55  <Eddi|zuHause> what i have done meanwhile is having freight trains split to a secondary track near intermediate stations, and forcing them to wait there, while any faster train behind them will overtake
17:39:25  <|Japa|> specially with cargodest, it makes sense to have local and express trains

23:12:47  <Cutter> hi
23:13:20  <Cutter> why is it impossible to build diagonal rails on slopes?
23:13:49  <Cutter> is it planned?
23:14:17  <Brokkoli> it isnt?
23:14:23  <Brokkoli> not impossible
23:14:48  *** stillunknown [~stillunkn@82-136-228-38.ip.telfort.nl] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
23:14:56  <Cutter> how?
23:15:46  <Eddi|zuHause> there are a few design problems before even starting to implement those
23:16:40  <Brokkoli> its not possible?
23:16:44  <Cutter> Eddi: what problems?
23:16:45  <Eddi|zuHause> like the connection between sloped diagonal rails and level rails, because the "cut" must be orthogonal to the diagonal rails, but the tile border is not
23:17:04  *** snorre [~snorre@cF6FC00C3.dhcp.bluecom.no] has joined #openttd
23:17:27  <Eddi|zuHause> also, diagonal slopes are steeper than normal ones
23:18:03  <Cutter> right

23:19:44  <Brokkoli> ah now i understand shich slopes you mean ;)
23:20:04  <Brokkoli> w
23:20:39  <Cutter> what about one rail half sloped half levelled?
23:21:10  <Cutter> so the connection doesn't have to be in the middle of a cell

23:26:54  <Eddi|zuHause> then you need at least 3 adjacent tiles for a complete slope, so you need tile-sets that cannot be split
23:27:09  <Eddi|zuHause> currently, each rail tile is handled individually
23:27:48  <Eddi|zuHause> so you need additional (program) infrastructure to handle multi-tile-rails
23:29:49  <Eddi|zuHause> which might be cool, because similar infrastructure could be used for wider road curves, two tile wide highways, it could be used as a basis for newgrf road stations
23:30:06  <Eddi|zuHause> but it is a hell lot of work, and it must be designed properly
23:30:09  <Bjarni> diagonal slopes will need quite a lot of coding. I guess Eddi|zuHause pointed out one major issue with the multi tile tracks
23:30:31  <Bjarni> but also slope handling for acceleration is hardcoded for one tile
23:31:03  <Bjarni> in fact quite a lot of stuff is hardcoded for the current use
23:31:24  <Bjarni> if this were easy to add, then it would have been done a long time ago ;)
23:32:02  <Bjarni> like signals in tunnels. If it were as easy as some people imagine then it would have been added years ago
23:34:02  <Bjarni> also regarding different grades of slopes: if it should be of any use then we would need a better resolution of height. Say we want half of the grade, then we would need a tile border that's say 3 and 1/2 over sea level, but we can only accept 3 or 4 in the current design
23:35:40  <Bjarni> <Cutter> so the connection doesn't have to be in the middle of a cell <-- currently all rail code is hardcoded to have the rails in the middle of a tile border. I guess it would be messy to change that
23:35:51  <Eddi|zuHause> the multi-tile-issue gets even worse, since they are actually multi-half-tile (people WILL demand to put two rails in parallel)
23:36:39  <Bjarni> I wouldn't mind the result, but recoding to allow this would be like starting over

23:38:23  <Bjarni> I think ludde started coding 9 years ago. It goes without saying that changing something fundamental is hard at this time
23:38:34  <Bjarni> also it would waste a lot of the time already spent coding
23:39:35  <RS-SM> This game
23:39:45  <RS-SM> by the way, what engine is it, or is it some horrible custom make

23:41:00  *** mode/#openttd [+v tokai] by ChanServ
23:43:51  <Eddi|zuHause> whatever you mean by "horrible", the "TT engine" was created by Chris Sawyer by himself
23:45:56  <SmatZ> RS-SM: what game?
23:46:15  <RS-SM> oppen ttd
23:47:05  <SmatZ> RS-SM: what is bad about using "custom" engines? do you have any idea what engine could be used?
23:47:18  <RS-SM> no, I don't mind custom engines
23:47:24  <RS-SM> Its just from hearing all the code talk
23:47:35  <RS-SM> this game seems like it has 2 cores
23:48:48  <SmatZ> 2 cores?
23:49:30  <RS-SM> 2 core parts, since it acts like a early 90s DOS game, yet the modern hacks like that underground rail thing someone showed off
23:49:38  <Eddi|zuHause> you mean there would be less code-talk if it was a "non-custom-engine" (whatever that is)?
23:50:09  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, if only that "someone" would continue developing that :p
23:50:53  <Cutter> has openttd been rewritten from scratch?
23:51:25  <SmatZ> RS-SM: I don't think there's something "modern" about it...
23:51:34  <Cutter> or is it based on Chris Sawyer's code?
23:51:47  <RS-SM> II'mt trying to say cutter
23:51:49  <RS-SM> Er um..
23:53:19  <Eddi|zuHause> Cutter: it was disassembled
23:53:29  <Eddi|zuHause> and then rewritten in C
23:53:53  <Cutter> ok
23:54:34  <Nite_Owl> I thought it was C+ or did that come later
23:54:51  <Eddi|zuHause> that was done later
23:55:20  <Eddi|zuHause> large parts of the code are still C, which is just compiled as C++
23:57:06  <RS-SM> thanks Eddi
23:58:10  <petern> heh
23:58:22  <petern> should there be some universal game engine or somethiing? :o
23:58:52  <Aali> we should be using the crysis engine
23:59:10  <Brokkoli> great idea ;)
23:59:11  <Aali> you'll need one modern computer per train, but thats fine
23:59:22  <Eddi|zuHause> PS: ohloh says it would take 40 person years (i.e. 4 years with a 10 person team) and 2.2 Mio $ to rewrite openttd from scratch
23:59:58  <Brokkoli> Chris Sawyer himself didn't need that time...
