08:09:01  <gartral> what ports do i need to open for openttd?
08:09:13  <peter1138> !ports
08:09:16  <gartral> erm, hosting a game/server that is
08:09:20  <peter1138> @openttd ports
08:09:20  <DorpsGek> peter1138: OpenTTD uses TCP and UDP port 3979 for server <-> client communication, UDP port 3978 for masterserver (advertise) communication (outbound), and TCP port 3978 for content service, a.k.a. BaNaNaS (outbound)
08:09:50  <gartral> GRRRRRRRRR... i hate rerouting combined ports
08:09:55  <erani> :D
08:10:34  * gartral has crappy old router that doesnt think it's possible to listen and send on same external port
08:13:53  <gartral> what method does OpenTTD use to encapsulate packets? (yes. I have to tell my router what kind of traffic to expect, or else it's retarded logic will choke the connection)
08:15:31  <peter1138> as DorpsGek said, TCP and UDP
08:17:38  <gartral> yes.. but my router wants to know "packet encapsulation" (aka application type) my choices: FTP server, H.232 IP telephony, DirectPlay (DX8 standard), DP (DX9), DP (DX10), IRC server, PPTP, and SIP-based telephony...
08:17:51  <Noldo> no custom?
08:17:54  <gartral> nope.
08:18:00  <Noldo> too bad
08:18:01  <peter1138> lol
08:18:05  <peter1138> stupid router
08:18:10  <gartral> it's the hight of retarded.. and my school demands i use it
08:18:30  <gartral> ill do DP DX9
08:19:49  <gartral> actually.. i think AT&T demands my school demands i use it... but w/e
08:22:03  <gartral> also: openTTD askes "do you want to quit and return to UNIX?" im not on unix.. im on linux! :P
08:22:30  <Noldo> not you too
08:22:49  <gartral> ok, ok.. i understand theres not much difference
08:24:03  *** DDR [~chatzilla@d99-199-13-89.bchsia.telus.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
08:24:36  <peter1138> and yet we have STR_OSNAME_SUNOS
08:25:00  <peter1138> (When was that rebranded Solaris?)
08:25:36  <gartral> but it would be nice if someone implemented a call too uname -v...
08:25:53  <peter1138> $ uname -v
08:25:53  <peter1138> #1 SMP Tue Mar 9 22:29:32 UTC 2010
08:25:54  <peter1138> yeah
08:25:56  <peter1138> useful
08:25:59  <Noldo> :D
08:26:21  <gartral> mine reports #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010
08:26:45  <SpComb> `uname -o` -> GNU/Linux <3
08:26:48  <gartral> or uname -s
08:26:51  <SpComb> so OpenTTD can aknowledge the GNU thing as well
08:26:52  <peter1138> aye, we can't help it if ubuntu mess everything around
08:27:32  <gartral> if i boot up my fedora box, uname -v reports #34-Fedora-some-date
08:27:55  <SpComb> that's just the kernel version string
08:28:01  <Noldo> why is it retrun to something anyway
08:28:09  <Noldo> do most people play in fullscreen?
08:28:20  <Markk> Hello, very random question, but what would you call "Reception Responsible" with other words in english?
08:28:25  <gartral> i do.. if im hosting the game
08:28:34  <peter1138> what does 'reception responsible' even mean?
08:28:45  <Markk> I think responsible sounds like an bad translation.
08:28:47  <gartral> mean responsable for recieving...
08:29:03  <Markk> That you're in charge of the Reception (In an hotel eg.)
08:32:59  <Markk> Hm, Reception Manager maybe?

08:46:46  <peter1138> you people with silly keyboard layouts...
08:46:47  <gartral> fish-hook? i dont have fish-hook... i have `/~
08:47:17  <peter1138> altgr-shift-s (§) is not the right key!
08:50:20  <gartral> Markk (dont give me bad/personal config info!)
08:52:41  <gartral> hmm.. say in console is broken. (or i dont understand the syntax)
08:52:47  <Markk> Personal?
08:52:52  <Markk> It's the standard key.
08:53:12  <Markk> I havn't configured any keys at all.
08:53:57  <gartral> it should just be: say bla bla bla. and print "bla bla bla", right?

13:26:57  <andythenorth> the "what I said" :P

13:27:54  <andythenorth> oops...under-value the time of *other people*
13:28:18  <andythenorth> it happens in openttd suggestions....but also in the world of film, game, business, web app

17:23:29  <Eddi|zuHause> don't know... never got round to learning hg queues

17:27:35  <planetmaker> I just try to assess the potential to screw up, if I do both in one repo: maintain the patch queue and the different heads which implement different things of the newgame / settings rework
17:27:59  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: hg qinit enables the patch queue usage
17:28:24  <planetmaker> then with hg qnew starts a new patch

17:29:44  <Eddi|zuHause> i like graphical frontends, you can get better overview
17:29:45  <planetmaker> the idea is: you can apply or de-apply patches in a pre-defined sequence
17:30:19  <planetmaker> you can stop at any intermediate step and edit the repo. Those changes will then become part of that intermediate patch
17:30:28  <planetmaker> It might brake patches further down the queue, though

19:07:32  <CrazyTB> Eddi|zuHause: Is there any way to "easily" update old trains? Do I need to update all cars or just the engine?
19:07:50  <Eddi|zuHause> CrazyTB: only the engine

19:18:38  <andythenorth> if you don't have vehicles losing money....you're not using enough transfer systems :P
19:19:04  <CrazyTB> Probably that circle should be replaced by something else... Maybe a dollar/pound/money symbol.

19:52:16  <CrazyTB> glx, frosch123: yes, we can see the age at the vehicle detail window. But that means we need to click on each vehicle, and then click on that paper icon at that new window.
19:53:06  <CrazyTB> We can't see an overall view of all vehicles age, capacity, speed, value, ...
19:53:23  <Eddi|zuHause> CrazyTB: that might be a valid feature request. maybe show the sorting criterium at the place where group/vehicle name or vehicle schedule is shown
19:53:28  <CrazyTB> We need to open each one individually, and it quickly becomes very messy
19:53:28  * frosch123 never needed such a list
19:54:12  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: might be important for rapidly changing values, like timetable delay
19:54:18  <frosch123> i sort by age, when i want to deal with the red ones, resp. want to check the age of the oldest one.
19:54:32  <frosch123> i sort by capacity, if i want to attach some wagons to the shortest train of a group
19:55:09  <frosch123> i cannot remember any other important sorting
19:55:49  <CrazyTB> Eddi|zuHause: about the icons... Nice to see the moving/stop being changed. Now we need the profit icons changed too. ;)
19:56:18  <Eddi|zuHause> i needed sorting for timetable delay to adjust out-of-order vehicles which can't overtake
19:56:23  <glx> profit icons look like original version CrazyTB
19:57:22  <CrazyTB> glx: unfortunately... they are not intuitive... :-\  Maybe money and/or arrows could be better.
19:57:24  <glx> but indeed arrows could be nice for color blind people

20:01:43  <yorick> a nibble
20:01:48  <yorick> a triplet
20:01:48  <Wasila> oh, lol
20:02:14  <andythenorth> one nibble could give 4 wind strengths in each of 4 directions
20:02:20  <frosch123> however, what do you mean with wind of strength 3 from all four directions?
20:02:46  <frosch123> isn't it rather 3 bits for the 8 directions in game, and 5 bits for the strength
20:03:19  * andythenorth thinks in hex for a minute

20:07:45  <andythenorth> maybe some places sailing ships do well and some places they suck
20:07:46  <frosch123> gray would be darker than silver
20:08:03  <andythenorth> or player has to follow 'trade winds' with circular routes :)

20:09:32  <Rubidium> maybe, but... silver looks like gray and gold looks like yellow which might cause trouble after people upgrade
20:09:32  <andythenorth> it seems pointless to make the wind change a lot.  (A) it will be all out of sync with day length and players will complain about it for whatever reason and (B) if changes were frequent and random, they will average and have no game effect
20:09:42  <andythenorth> B is more important :)

20:12:07  <Rubidium> and having gameplay effect on ships would mean that you'd need to rewrite the pathfinder to take the winds into account. That makes making a better pathfinder for ships even more difficult
20:12:12  <frosch123> hot air balloons? sounds like one-way travel :p

20:13:33  <frosch123> what is the problem with that? there are 16 height levels, and planes flying slightly higher. so say 20 levels. just 20 extra bytes per tile :p

20:21:59  <CrazyTB> Ammler: nope... I don't have the original one.
20:22:15  <frosch123> andythenorth: devide the map into north and south, and assume it is a sphere. then apply windzones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_prevailing_winds_on_earth.png
20:22:20  <CrazyTB> I played the original TT demo many years ago, and never played it again
20:22:54  <andythenorth> frosch123: I'm trying to figure something like that out....it should be plausible in nfo
20:23:10  <frosch123> none - east - west - none - west - east - none
20:23:15  <andythenorth> but it's a bit predictable....maybe randomise the zones on a per-game basis somehow....?
20:23:18  <andythenorth> hmmm
20:23:29  <CrazyTB> andythenorth, frosch123: maybe divide the map into zones... And "store" the pressure of such zones
20:23:39  <CrazyTB> wind flows from high-pressure to low-pressure
20:23:41  <frosch123> maybe also do spring, summer, autumn, winter
20:23:48  <andythenorth> and rain :P
20:24:00  <andythenorth> rain would be a major addition to gameplay

20:24:46  <frosch123> CrazyTB: as rb already said. map storage is a holy cow in ottd. there is no way to store something as unimportant as wind on a per tile basis
20:24:46  <CrazyTB> and the transportation becomes a complete chaos. (we lived this in real life, a few months ago)
20:25:27  <CrazyTB> frosch123: an entire map would have just a few zones, not too many.
20:25:46  <Nite_Owl> a per tile ash cloud would be going a bit too far

20:33:43  <andythenorth> frosch123: I was just looking in landscape_grid.html....I had a feeling there would be no way to put wind vector into tiles :)
20:33:49  <Yexo> andythenorth: isn't the major problem with wind the number of sprites you would need for each ship?
20:34:10  <andythenorth> Yexo: that is a good point.  But I might decide not to care too much about accurate sprites
20:34:21  <andythenorth> it would affect the speed only
20:34:42  <andythenorth> it can go in that class of problems labelled "it's only a game" :)
20:35:04  <Yexo> can a newgrf actually determine the speed that often?
20:35:16  <andythenorth> mine do at the moment
20:35:18  <Yexo> isn't the max speed callback only called when buying/leaving depot/refit etc.
20:35:29  <andythenorth> hmmm that sounds more plausible
20:35:30  <andythenorth> yes
20:35:32  <frosch123> Yexo: interestingly it is different for ships
20:35:49  <andythenorth> whatever I coded for ships seems to just work :P
20:35:52  <frosch123> though that difference might not be intentional :p
20:36:21  <frosch123> or in other words, the log raft only works as ship :p
20:36:21  <andythenorth> what about aeroplanes?  pikka does stuff with speed during takeoff / landing
20:37:26  <andythenorth> frosch123: how about a halfway suggestion.....implementing wind by region in nfo for vehicle is a bit baroque.  What about a var that performs a calculation based on vehicle's current map location and provides a vector result to the newgrf?
20:37:38  <andythenorth> maybe using map random seed for some sort of variation
20:37:44  <CrazyTB> just a sidenote: in real life, planes always (or most times) take off and land against the direction of the wind.
20:38:12  <frosch123> andythenorth: actually i would prefer the baroque version :p
20:38:31  <andythenorth> well it means I have to write it at least :|
20:38:42  <andythenorth> so I suppose it suits everybody else better :P
20:39:11  <frosch123> CrazyTB: rockets take of in earth rotating direction
20:39:17  <andythenorth> it's going to be horrible
20:39:25  <frosch123> :p
20:39:29  <Yexo> andythenorth: if you help define which vars to use / how to calculate wind speed/direction I'll write the nfo
20:39:43  <andythenorth> I'll need branching varacts for map size and all kinds of stuff.....and we don't get proper integer maths
20:40:12  <andythenorth> or do I mean floating point maths?
20:40:36  <andythenorth> anyway FIRS has to do some bonkers stuff to deal with maths.  Someone else had to write  pseudo code so I could understand it
20:40:39  <frosch123> i would guess you can compute most of that once on initialisation
20:40:57  <andythenorth> where can I store it though?
20:41:03  <frosch123> grf parameters
20:41:16  <andythenorth> there's no varact to write them
20:41:17  <frosch123> action D
20:41:23  <andythenorth> ah
20:42:25  <frosch123> store x and y size of map in some parameters, later shift/divide the vehicle position by those values, and you get the position in a nomalised scale independent of map size
20:43:27  <andythenorth> then standard varact 2 with ranges for different regions?
20:43:59  <frosch123> then write a varaction2 chain which computes the windstrength and call that as var 7e procedure call for every vehicle while scaling the result with the vehicle specific speed
20:44:21  * andythenorth wonders "why do I talk myself into trying these things"
20:44:32  * andythenorth saves this irc transcript for future reference
20:44:33  <Nite_Owl> Nice ideas and all but does this not fit the very definition of "Too much work for too little gain" ??  Or have I come in on the middle of an intellectual exercise ??
20:45:14  <Yexo> is the map size actually available to newgrfs?
20:45:21  <frosch123> Nite_Owl: put the "too much work" in relation to drawing hundreds of sailing ships with different sprites for wind directions
20:45:33  <andythenorth> Nite_Owl: it's probably one of those two outcomes....time will tell :P
20:45:42  <frosch123> Yexo: yes, there is an action 7/9/d variable
20:45:54  <andythenorth> writing code is rarely as time consuming as drawing pixels.  and it scales much better :)
20:46:04  <frosch123> hmm, no, it is a action d "patch variable"
20:46:05  <andythenorth> if I was better at writing code it would be even faster
20:49:09  <andythenorth> Nite_Owl: it's probably an intellectual exercise.  Something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagame_analysis
20:49:52  <Yexo> hmm, a newgrf using an action B for only one specific language could cause a desync because it's disabled at some clients but not at others
20:50:03  <Yexo> but then such a newgrf is stupid anyway
20:50:10  <Yexo> probably not worth fixing that

21:58:20  <andythenorth> or same issue I guess :)
21:58:41  <planetmaker> hm... yes, thanks, andythenorth
21:58:52  <planetmaker> no fix yet
21:59:20  <andythenorth> ho ho
21:59:22  *** Lakie [~Lakie@91.84.251.149] has quit [Quit: Sleep.]
21:59:27  * andythenorth ponders some sort of backup
21:59:30  <planetmaker> disk full
21:59:30  <andythenorth> locally I mean
21:59:57  * andythenorth starts OS X Time Machine even though it's bollocks
22:00:45  <CrazyTB> planetmaker: probably that's not the case, but a few weeks ago I had a server that had "disk full" while still had plenty of free space.
22:01:01  <CrazyTB> The reason: the filesystem ran out of inodes. (checked that with df -i )
22:01:05  <planetmaker> CrazyTB: it really seems to be the case
22:01:12  <planetmaker> it's only a vserver and we use our quota
22:01:53  * andythenorth wonders about buying more...
22:02:11  * CrazyTB wonders about the size of /var/log
22:02:19  <planetmaker> the only reasonable upgrade would be a root server
22:02:27  <andythenorth> we have a web server that fills /var/log often
22:02:30  <andythenorth> then dies
22:02:41  * andythenorth ponders bed
22:02:55  <andythenorth> good night
22:03:01  <planetmaker> night andythenorth

22:28:20  <caribou|> hello
22:28:31  <caribou|> i'm having problem joining a dedicated server :/
22:28:58  <caribou|> it says that the server is "offline" in the game but i can connect to the server through telnet
22:30:48  *** JostVice [~jostvice@85.136.129.22.dyn.user.ono.com] has left #openttd []
22:31:25  <Yexo> IIRC openttd uses udp packets to determine if a esrver is online
22:31:31  <Yexo> maybe tcp is allowed by udp is blocked?
22:32:41  <caribou|> i've forwarded the both protocols :/

22:35:05  *** PeterT_ [~PeterT@peter.tarkoy.com] has quit [Quit: Goodbye]
22:35:05  <caribou|> ok that's working i guess the refresh was a bit slow or buggy :/
22:35:06  <Jolteon> sure it's the right port(s)?
22:35:40  <caribou|> btw i've jsut started playing this awesome game with a frien in coop that's why i thought about the dedicated server
22:36:07  <caribou|> and i've seen this autopilot script, what is this about ? I've read about auto pause and stuff like that !?
22:36:27  <caribou|> the main thing we want is just that when we are not on the server the game is paused but that's a vanilla thing isn't it ?
22:36:59  <Yexo> yes, but autopilot provided that function already when openttd didn't support it
22:37:11  <caribou|> oh understood, thank you !
22:37:35  <caribou|> does it autosave ?
22:37:47  <Yexo> openttd has an autosave feature
22:37:57  <caribou|> good :)
