00:06:08  <kormer> ok if my earlier questions weren't stupid enough, where does VS put the compiled exe after a successful build?
00:07:07  <michi_cc> objs\{win32,x64}\{Debug,Release}\openttd.exe
00:10:04  <Eddi|zuHause> VS has a "run this program" button, which should work :)
00:11:02  <Eddi|zuHause> i guess nobody was bored enough in the last 5 years to figure out how to copy the exe at the end of the compile run
00:11:27  <kormer> well I stupidly asked it to recompile, so I'll have to wait to look there

02:11:04  <[1]Karan> Hi
02:11:50  <[1]Karan> Is there something that would build track instead of me in multiplayer??
02:12:37  <[1]Karan> I need to know
02:14:03  <kormer> You could enable ai's, and then join an AI corp.
02:14:17  <kormer> That can get out of hand though, so use caution
02:15:30  <[1]Karan> I was thinking something that i can use in real multiplayer?
02:15:53  <[1]Karan> If i could just point from station to station and track would been build?
02:15:53  <Supercheese> You can use AIs in multiplayer, no?
02:16:02  <Supercheese> I've personally not tried
02:16:02  <[1]Karan> on servers?
02:16:18  <Supercheese> Server host might be the one who configures AIs
02:16:36  <kormer> The server admin needs to set it up, yes, and the AI is never going to do what you want it to anyways
02:16:43  <Eddi|zuHause> you can have AI companies, but they cannot be controlled by a human
02:16:51  <Supercheese> Ah, nevermind then
02:17:11  <[1]Karan> dont you want to play?
02:17:15  <kormer> Someday I'd like to try designing a "helper" ai that does useful tasks for the human rather than just building all on their own.
02:17:18  <[1]Karan> some city builder chalenges?
02:17:36  <[1]Karan> I think if there was track building tools
02:17:40  <kormer> exactly like Karan said, it'd be awesome if you could just build two stations, and the AI builds a route between them.
02:17:42  <[1]Karan> like finding optimal path..
02:18:10  <[1]Karan> it couldnt be so hard theres are some path finding algorithms already
02:18:52  <[1]Karan> btw dont you know some interesting chatrooms?
02:19:20  <kormer> oh yea, I looked into it long enough to realize it was doable, I just haven't had time to do it.
02:21:16  <Eddi|zuHause> AI pathfinding works as long as you assume the map is mostly empty. once a significant amount is blocked, it'll fail
02:21:45  <[1]Karan> how does ai build then?

02:22:28  <[1]Karan> i never played with compiuter but compiuter buildds tracks?
02:22:38  <Eddi|zuHause> and several AI players
02:23:10  <[1]Karan> someone just didnt have the time to implemented it right way
02:23:16  <[1]Karan> :)
02:23:33  <[1]Karan> zuHause do you know some chat rooms?
02:24:06  <Eddi|zuHause> like, have i met any?
02:24:23  <[1]Karan> I need to find someone somewhere who knows answer on my question.. but my question never been easy ones
02:24:49  <[1]Karan> only few ppl having the answer and i dont know how to find them
02:25:12  <Eddi|zuHause> that i really can't help you with...
02:25:20  <[1]Karan> ok
02:25:47  <[1]Karan> is irc crypted?
02:28:26  <Flygon> encrypted?
02:28:40  <Flygon> Depends on how you connect to the server, and if the server supports it, and if the client supports it...

02:43:57  <[1]Karan> i mean servers
02:58:39  <MinchinWeb> if you want an 'AI' to build a track for you, you probably want to use a GameScript
02:59:52  <MinchinWeb> the problem is the pathfinding... the computer can figure it out, but it takes a really long time
03:02:29  <MinchinWeb> pathfinding time typically grows exponentially with distance

09:03:55  <Pokka> isn't it
09:04:35  <Pokka> deffo need newsmoke
09:05:06  <Pokka> with big american steam engines, and "big" diagonals, the steam particles are now generated too low :o
09:12:42  <andythenorth> newnewgrfneweffects
09:12:45  <Pokka> yes
09:17:03  <Supercheese> +1
09:19:26  <V453000> what are big diagonals? :o
09:19:46  <Pokka> http://pikkarail.com/openttd/a-matter-of-perspective/
09:21:35  <V453000> never cared about those values :D I just draw how it feels at that moment
09:24:25  <V453000> also for vehicles which are not with square roof, it is a bit hard to tell :P
09:24:42  <Pokka> true
09:25:39  <V453000> either way I think keeping the heights the same of both diagonals and side views is just fine
09:26:45  <Pokka> most of the MUs and such in NUTS seem to be drawn that way, I had to hunt through to find that steam engine ;)
09:27:35  <V453000> those steam engines are a bit weird, those are one of the last things remaining from version 0.0.1, I intend to redraw those
09:27:53  <V453000> I think the diagonal view is a bit weird
09:28:10  <V453000> height-wise, not sure
09:28:37  * Pokka shrugs
09:28:43  <Pokka> mb will tell me I'm doing it wrong, either way
09:29:25  <Pokka> and with the lighting too, I'm pretty much just mirroring diagonals :P
09:29:32  <Supercheese> :O
09:29:38  <V453000> personally I think it is very hard to make a convention especially if you consider those small things like such a steamer, because sometimes the one pixel can be missing, sometimes not
09:29:47  <V453000> Pokka: me too, almost always :D
09:29:51  <Pokka> life's too short and company colour shades too few :)

09:34:59  <andythenorth> mirroring diagonals
09:35:01  <andythenorth> shameful
09:35:11  <andythenorth> you'd never find that in the original graphics :P

09:44:32  <V453000> Pokka: big steamers ... they sort of keep the height
09:44:51  <V453000> I believe they come from the template below them (the caterpillar with a face)
09:44:56  <V453000> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20419525/RailICEsteam_2.png
09:45:50  <Pokka> yeah
09:46:20  <V453000> but my point is, if you inspect it closely, sometimes it is shifted a pixel here and there or such, just cause it fits more in that situation
09:46:30  <V453000> so rules ~whatever :)
09:46:42  <Pokka> oh, absolutely :)
09:47:17  <Pokka> but if you look at, for example, the template image mb just linked to in a thread... the diagonals of the template are lower than the horizontal :)
09:47:38  <Pokka> so, inasmuch as mb's template is "right", "right" is wrong. :P
09:48:23  <V453000> :D which thread btw?

09:49:39  <Pokka> https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=64507
09:52:44  <V453000> right :)
09:53:19  <V453000> most of my vehicles come from the caterpillar template, but some differ and I dont even know which anymore tbh
09:53:40  <V453000> I usually just make some "convention" for trains which are connecting together so they fit nicely
09:54:32  <V453000> my top favourite template is the maglev from NUTS actually, making the trains fatter
09:55:14  <V453000> for 4/8 wagon it means it is as wide as long
09:55:48  <V453000> which means you dont have to mirror diagonals because they are automatic if you make the sides the same :D
09:56:02  <V453000> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20419525/maglevhopper.png
09:56:32  <V453000> 1 sprite for 4 directions ftw
09:58:18  *** Tvel [~Thunderbi@212.36.5.170] has joined #openttd
09:59:36  <V453000> and to the topic, the -- sprites are actually 1px LOWER than the diagonals :D
10:00:04  <Pokka> omg inconsistency :)
10:00:15  <V453000> admittedly they dont look too square in that view, but that always gets deformed
10:05:32  <Pokka> yes, the difference in vehicle length between the diagonal and horizontal is not anything we can do anything about, unfortunately
10:08:22  <planetmaker> I really wonder whether there's no way to properly-sized vehicles in the diagonals...
10:08:49  <Pokka> too many knock-on effects, I think
10:08:50  <planetmaker> ... but I've no real good idea to tackle that even conceptually
10:08:59  <planetmaker> yes... :S
10:09:05  <Pokka> not least of which would be that at the moment, two full-length vehicles == one tile
10:10:00  <Pokka> it's part of the charm... wouldn't be TTD if you fixed it :P
10:10:15  <planetmaker> he :D

15:27:42  <Pokka> V453000, your ideas are good, but with 10CC I'm not at all aiming for "as many options as possible". ;)
15:28:23  <V453000> I expected you could get inspired by some of them Pokka, not try to replicate/challenge as many as possible :P
15:29:10  <Pokka> well, that is to say
15:29:49  <Pokka> 10CC is almost like each set is one of your "classes" :)  so the gameplay and optimal strategy is different depending on which set you use
15:30:10  <Pokka> whether that will be interesting remains to be seen :)

15:45:13  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: offering a "random" choice to the CETS parameters
15:45:42  <planetmaker> like a global random value? Hm
15:45:49  <planetmaker> Might be interesting
15:45:55  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, this would be global var 0x26
15:46:15  *** tracerpt [4d565a37@ircip3.mibbit.com] has joined #openttd
15:46:16  <Eddi|zuHause> the question is, is this value initialised already during grf activation stages?
15:46:18  *** chester_ [~chester@93-80-60-10.broadband.corbina.ru] has joined #openttd
15:46:31  <tracerpt> hi all
15:47:08  <planetmaker> At least the random_seed has a value before that, I assume. But yes, needs checking
15:47:21  <planetmaker> But you can explicitly set it in the map gen window... so... should be known
15:47:45  <planetmaker> so should exist at the very start of mapgen
15:47:54  * Pokka too would very much like a universal seed available to newgrf
15:48:39  <Pokka> universal/global
15:48:51  <andythenorth> what would we do with it? o_O
15:48:52  <jonty-comp> makes sense
15:49:02  <jonty-comp> seed all the random parameters in your grf with it
15:49:12  <Pokka> :]
15:49:13  <jonty-comp> then if someone wants that exact combination of boxcars for whatever reason
15:49:18  <jonty-comp> they can use that seed
15:49:26  <Pokka> yeah.  not that. :P
15:49:31  <jonty-comp> depending on other parameters of course
15:49:38  <jonty-comp> BUT I WANT THAT EXACT COMBINATION OF BOXCARS
15:49:47  * jonty-comp tantrums
15:49:54  <Pokka> but it would let me have a "random" option for each player's train set in 10CC, for example, andy.
15:50:08  <planetmaker> Of course it should be clearly noted, that a seed does not guarantee anything to be in whatever shape or form... but yes...
15:50:30  * Pinkbeast owes the 10CC post a reply
15:50:37  <planetmaker> ... should not boil down to "do until you have a random seed ending in 16" in order to get a behaviour "I need"
15:50:39  <andythenorth> ho ho
15:50:50  <planetmaker> which is what I would fear would happen
15:51:13  <Pokka> we need a name for this
15:51:18  <Pokka> lakie's law? :)
15:51:19  <andythenorth> madness?
15:51:56  <Pokka> "I'm reluctant to add this feature because newgrf authors will use it to break the game"
15:52:03  <planetmaker> :-)
15:52:14  <Pokka> happens every time ;)
15:53:14  <Pokka> is the map seed even stored in the savegame, or is it thrown away after generation?
15:53:16  <planetmaker> I call it "thinking it through": looking at a feature from all sides one can think of and assessing the implications
15:53:25  <planetmaker> the seed remains known
15:53:28  <Eddi|zuHause> Pokka: it's stored
15:53:28  <Pokka> if it's stored, all you need to do is give newgrf access to it
15:53:31  <peter1138> i think it's stored, but it's not used
15:53:45  <Eddi|zuHause> you can get it from command line
15:53:50  <planetmaker> you can use it for the restart(?) command
15:53:58  <planetmaker> and what eddi says
15:54:08  <peter1138> but if you have the random seed you can cheat by finding where the diamonds are on your local pc
15:54:15  <peter1138> hmm
15:54:20  <peter1138> no that's minecraft
15:54:28  <planetmaker> but only when you want to accept blue wagons, peter1138 ;-)
15:54:54  <Pokka> planetmaker: my response to lakie's argument is that I can already make a newgrf full of vehicles which have 1hp, a 1 year lifespan and cost a million dollars.
15:55:04  <Pokka> but no-one will use it
15:55:14  <Pokka> and nor will they use any other grf I write that does stupid things
15:55:30  <Pokka> so don't worry about newgrf authors doing stupid things, the worst they can do is make it so no-one uses their grf :)
15:55:35  <peter1138> erm
15:55:39  <peter1138> actually
15:55:45  <peter1138> if any grf is labelled pikka

15:56:53  <Eddi|zuHause> (actually, i mostly hate airports)
15:58:11  <planetmaker> Pokka, that goes on quite a tangent - and is no argument in any favour of anything
15:58:15  <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: it shouldn't if it's made sure that the random seed is set before grf activation. possibly it's Bad(TM) to use it to modify the action14, although that may be problematic already
15:58:21  <planetmaker> As it would argue "add any shit I can think of" similarily
15:59:59  <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, i was talking about in general
16:00:03  <planetmaker> the question which IMHO must be answered is "is there another way for the same effect which is better"?
16:00:31  <planetmaker> e.g. giving a random value to each newgrf which is generated by OpenTTD based on the randomseed
16:00:44  <planetmaker> but not immediately known
16:01:44  <planetmaker> that for instance wouldn't make a difference to the newgrf developer. But for the end user experience - as in it being seemingly "more random"
16:02:14  <planetmaker> and possibly gives different results also on the order of NewGRFs.
16:03:36  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5487

16:16:14  <Pokka> a quasi-random value is a quasi-random value, planetmaker
16:16:26  <Pokka> but I'd say there's some benefit to every grf having access to the same one
16:17:19  <peter1138> now limit it to 1 bit
16:17:48  <Pokka> that would be less beneficial :)

16:19:02  <Pokka> planetmaker: it's not meant to be an argument in favour of anything
16:19:30  <Pokka> merely an argument to counter "what I would fear would happen"
16:19:50  <planetmaker> but it doesn't counter that
16:20:07  <Pokka> maybe I misunderstood what you meant, then
16:21:23  <planetmaker> I want to avoid something like "I need a random value ending in X for newgrf x and at the same time ending in Y for NewGRF y in order to get it 'right'"
16:21:44  <Pokka> oh, from a player's point of view?
16:21:45  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: so every grf would not get "seed" but "random^(n+1)(seed)" where n is the position in the grf list?
16:21:54  <planetmaker> I don't see that game being possible with map values...
16:22:07  <planetmaker> maybe, yes, Eddi|zuHause
16:22:34  <planetmaker> Pokka, yes. That was my concern.
16:22:34  <Eddi|zuHause> and a^n is calling the a function recursively n times
16:22:38  <planetmaker> :D
16:23:15  <Pokka> well, personally, I wouldn't use it for anything "obvious" that I didn't also give the player the option to set manually, because otherwise I agree, players would do that.
16:23:45  <Eddi|zuHause> same for me, but one might as well do it "right" the first time around :)
16:23:54  <Pokka> ie, the thing I'd use it for immediately would be parameters with options like "A, B, C, D, random"
16:24:01  <Eddi|zuHause> so... how does this random system work?
16:24:21  <Eddi|zuHause> Pokka: yes
16:24:39  <planetmaker> sure, Pokka, and in that I see no problem at all. On the contrary
16:25:42  <Eddi|zuHause> Pokka: but i see planetmaker's two points, 1) people "cheating" by easily abusing the internals (weak point), 2) "correlation" between two grfs which read the same bits of the random seed
16:26:19  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, iirc - without looking it up again - the randomseed defines a starting number for the random generator. And then based on that subsequently random numbers can be issued... mind there's two random numbers: one for things which need be desync-safe, one for stuff where it doesn't matter
16:26:39  <planetmaker> we definitely want the first kind
16:27:01  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: no, we need a third kind, one where we provide a new intitial random seed
16:27:41  <Eddi|zuHause> then we can reproduce the random number exactly every time the variable is read, so we don't need to store anything
16:28:45  <Eddi|zuHause> but what i actually wanted to know is: where in the code are these random functions defined?
16:28:56  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, one initial one suffices, if the number we generate from it follows a clear algorithm
16:29:02  <planetmaker> something like you suggested
16:29:54  <planetmaker> core/random_func.hpp and friends, I'd say
16:30:12  <Eddi|zuHause> ah, hpp
16:30:18  <planetmaker> there's also a cpp
16:30:29  <Eddi|zuHause> that explains why my grep didn't return anything :p
16:31:10  <planetmaker> I grepped for "Interactive" :D
16:31:53  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but i grepped in *.h

16:41:01  <Eddi|zuHause> might be better to put the seed in a member in GRFFile
16:41:12  <planetmaker> I'm not too much worried about all newgrfs getting the same number... that actually might be beneficial.
16:41:52  <planetmaker> though each its own... doesn't hurt... maybe the random number for a grf would then simply need storing.
16:42:03  <planetmaker> And each NewGRF is assigned one upon map generation, that's it
16:42:28  <planetmaker> then the normal random number generators need not be changed and is just called once for each newgrf
16:47:44  <Pokka> one global and one per grf would cover all bases? ;)
16:50:05  <planetmaker> yes
16:50:24  <Eddi|zuHause> it's not like we run out of global variables any time soon :p
16:50:24  <tracerpt> Is there a list on the compatibility of NewGRF's? In the game where I'm testing all this new stuff I downloaded, some don't seem to be activated, although they are active on the list
16:50:50  <planetmaker> there's no such list, tracerpt
16:51:02  <tracerpt> guess it's hit and miss then :)
16:51:12  <planetmaker> but any newgrf you can download ingame *should* work. but maybe not with another newgrf you want to use concurrently
16:51:19  <Eddi|zuHause> tracerpt: each NewGRF may or may not have its own list what it is compatible with
16:51:33  <planetmaker> e.g. you usually never can use two different industry newgrfs. And all pikka grfs need a parameter set to work properly
16:51:35  <tracerpt> Yeah, I've seen some with warnings

16:57:05  <planetmaker> you could also help translate this game (or NewGRFs like FIRS :D )

16:57:19  <Pokka> no they don't :o

17:05:31  <Pokka> boring
17:05:34  <peter1138> yes
17:05:44  <tracerpt> back then i used an hex editor to translate the text lol
17:05:59  <peter1138> dynamicengines allows multiple sets to use the "same" ids
17:06:04  <planetmaker> tracerpt, http://translators.openttd.org
17:06:15  <tracerpt> will check it
17:06:16  <planetmaker> http://translator.openttd.org/en/status
17:06:18  <peter1138> the increased engine id limit is still there even with that off
17:06:22  <planetmaker> (one s too much)
17:06:48  <tracerpt> first link doesn't workl
17:06:58  <planetmaker> yes ^
17:07:05  <peter1138> (dynamic engines probably should be removed and made default)
17:07:19  <planetmaker> it is default.
17:07:22  <Pokka> I thought it had been
17:07:34  <planetmaker> it's still a setting, though
17:07:45  <planetmaker> but... possibly could be removed as setting
17:08:02  <andythenorth> it's a silly setting
17:08:06  <Pokka> it may be wanted by some for compatibility with very, very ancient newgrfs
17:08:10  <Pokka> but I say remove it :D
17:08:26  <tracerpt> Portuguese 		99.6 % complete 	15 untranslated
17:08:39  <tracerpt> doens't say it needs translators :p
17:08:48  <V453000> why would anyone turn that setting off ever anyway
17:09:04  <Pokka> compatibility with very, very ancient newgrfs, V453000
17:09:11  <planetmaker> Pokka, are there some ancient newgrfs with add-on?
17:09:18  <Pokka> I dunno
17:09:34  <planetmaker> maybe it's db-set + ecs/firs add-on. Though I think it (meanwhile) also uses the engine_override action
17:09:34  <Pokka> it wouldn't surprise me if someone didn't once make a grf to modify something in dbset or something
17:09:35  <V453000> I mean turning dynamic engine pool off
17:09:53  <Pokka> not every newgrf which exists is known :)
17:09:58  <peter1138> wasn't there lv4 + lv4-scantily-clad
17:10:11  <Pokka> something like that, peter1138
17:10:29  <peter1138> the dbset one has a hardcoded override lol
17:10:45  <planetmaker> tracerpt, there's also like http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/firs/nightlies/LATEST/translations/
17:11:01  <peter1138> hmm
17:11:03  <peter1138> ok
17:11:07  <peter1138> ukrs addons -> ukrs
17:11:10  <peter1138> dbsetxl ecs -> dbsetxl
17:11:14  <peter1138> lv4cut -> lv4
17:11:19  <peter1138> all hard coded overrides
17:11:36  <planetmaker> what else?
17:11:55  <planetmaker> how would dynamic overrides work? Change stats of random engine to ... :D
17:12:10  <peter1138> eh?
17:12:19  <peter1138> newgrfs can provide overrides of course
17:12:23  <tracerpt> :o
17:12:32  <planetmaker> and re random variable for newgrfs: funny would be like "today I'm an industry NewGRF, in the next game I could be a vehicle set" :D (no, I don't mind that)
17:13:08  <planetmaker> peter1138, you meant hardcoded overrides as in not using the override feature to work with dynamic engines enabled?
17:13:23  <tracerpt> bookmarked the translation stuff
17:13:26  <planetmaker> then I mis-understood you
17:13:28  <tracerpt> will check it out later
17:13:32  <Pokka> that would be good, planetmaker
17:13:33  <peter1138> what?
17:13:48  <Pokka> I'll just put all my grfs in one file and use the random number to pick which ones get activated :)
17:14:04  <peter1138> i mean src/newgrf.cpp:9119
17:14:10  <peter1138> (so many lines in that file)
17:16:14  <planetmaker> wtf!
17:17:02  <planetmaker> and there someone shall come and say we don't care about NewGRF developers ;-)
17:18:06  <Pokka> who would ever say that? :)
17:18:15  <planetmaker> though, peter1138, they were iirc previously part of the extra baseset. That was changed from there to the openttd internal place somewhen... one, two years ago, iirc
17:19:34  <planetmaker> Zusammenfassung: (svn r23232) -Change: move the "default" overrides out of the baseset in order to ensure they all use the same values
17:19:41  <tracerpt> bbl gonna buy some 200more trains ;)
17:23:09  <michi_cc> Any daring OS X users around? You could test http://www.icosahedron.de/openttd/patches/openttd-custom-geeea764dM-OSX.zip for me. It contains a patch for FS#4744 (10.7 fullscreen support) and the proposed patch from FS#4392 (mouse problems). Completely untested by me, so caveat emptor :)
17:23:43  <michi_cc> And maybe I have broken 10.4 i386 with it, so if somebody still has that combination around...
17:24:10  <planetmaker> so that would need osx 10.7, right?
17:28:38  <Maedhros> michi_cc: sure, i can try that (10.8 here)
17:28:55  <michi_cc> planetmaker: If everything is done right, fullscreen should work on everything.
17:29:31  <michi_cc> I.e. knowing that fullscreen isn't broken on 10.6 is just as important.
17:33:56  <peter1138> what's this, openttd devs with osx? :p
17:33:58  <Maedhros> michi_cc: all seems to work, except that there's no mouse pointer in full screen until you've moved the mouse out of the window and back in (e.g. up to the menu bar and back)
17:34:14  <peter1138> fullscreen... window... what?
17:34:34  <Maedhros> michi_cc: i do have a patch for that if you're interested, although i'm not sure it's the most sensible approach
17:34:50  <michi_cc> Maedhros: No clue how to fix that, but let's see anyway.

17:45:04  <planetmaker> michi_cc, it's to not compile-fail with earlier (or later) OSX-SDKs
17:45:43  <planetmaker> iirc that is
17:45:47  <michi_cc> It seems at least NSWindowDidEnterFullScreenNotification isn't defined in the 10.5 SDK, so either we'd need to duplicate the definition there or find a different way.

19:27:40  <NGC3982> I guess they can be compared to the Swedish Democratic party?

19:54:17  <Maedhros> mseidl: you need path-based signals (PBS) not pre-signals for that
19:55:38  <Pinkbeast> Unless "it" is permissive signals with two trains following each other with no signals between them. Nothing does that.
19:55:55  <mseidl> Pinkbeast: wait, do i need signals all the way down?
19:57:15  <Pinkbeast> It's a little vague what you mean by that, but it will never be the case that two trains run on the same bit of line without a signal between them.
19:58:05  <mseidl> i have a loading loop with a 2 track station, both stations are connected by a single line.  i want it so that if one train is going to the left, any trains on the right can follow it and go to the left, and any trains on the left are waiting to go towards the right

20:02:07  <mseidl> and now i crashed my trains!
20:02:37  <Pinkbeast> If you crashed a train you fiddled with signals when a train was approaching them or ordered a train to pass a signal at danger
20:02:43  <mseidl> right, Pinkbeast
20:02:44  <mseidl> i did
20:02:51  <mseidl> and i couldnt get rid of it fast enough :)

20:04:47  <andythenorth> hello

20:06:02  <Pinkbeast> I really suggest you actually post a screenshot of the game you are playing, but OK.
20:06:20  <mseidl> if a train is going from left to right, any other trains on the left should be able to follow the train going right
20:06:21  <Pinkbeast> I guess you might be trying to have multiple trains follow each other on a single-line section used in both directions?
20:06:31  <mseidl> Pinkbeast: right!
20:06:38  <Pinkbeast> There is no good way to do that.
20:07:27  <mseidl> should i pay big money for dual lines?
20:07:40  <Pinkbeast> Passing places would be an intermediate solution
20:11:19  <mseidl> ok

20:12:27  <mseidl> Pinkbeast: what's the best option?
20:12:35  <Pinkbeast> If short of money, passing places.
20:12:49  <Pinkbeast> Nearly all the track you lay for them will be useful for a dual line later.

21:06:14  <andythenorth> a ship has one or more associated spritesheets.  e.g. ship_0.png, ship_1.png etc
21:06:26  <andythenorth> these correspond to relatively minor graphical variations
21:06:36  <frosch123> which of them has the beard?
21:06:42  <andythenorth> yes
21:06:50  <andythenorth> they are chosen at random, but random choice is modified according to build date
21:07:15  <andythenorth> I am controlling dates by two-tuples in a list,
21:07:39  <andythenorth> [(1870,1900),(1870,1930),(1900,1940)] etc

21:08:03  <andythenorth> but I have no idea how to programmatically construct switches for this :P
21:08:30  <NGC3982> If i save a NewGRF setting, and then start a local game. Does the current openttd.cfg get saved somewhere special?
21:08:54  <andythenorth> frosch123 wrt subtype refits, an ellipsis at the end of the cargos with subtypes might work
21:09:02  <NGC3982> I'm trying out NewGRF's for the server on a Windows client, and it would be neat if i could simply copy the GRF list to the server config.
21:12:59  <andythenorth> frosch123: benefit of ellipsis is that it doesn't add padding to lh side of list
21:13:22  <andythenorth> and it wont' create a ragged edge (the non-subtype cargos won't have a + for disclosure, which will look messy)
21:14:31  <frosch123> i thought about using the tree stuff from advanced settings
21:14:58  <andythenorth> yes, but what would you show for a cargo with no subtype? o_O
21:15:18  <frosch123> empty space
21:19:41  <NGC3982> :(
21:20:08  <frosch123> NGC3982: you can copy the stuff from openttd.cfg
21:20:14  <frosch123> but you might need to fix pathes
21:20:30  <frosch123> when moving between win and linux you might need to repalce / and \
21:20:42  <NGC3982> All i need is the GRF list. I'm not moving the full file.
21:20:42  <frosch123> i consider it easier to transfer savegames
21:20:48  <NGC3982> Oh, i see.
21:20:50  <NGC3982> Yes, ill do that.
21:20:58  <NGC3982> Much better idea. :P
21:21:16  <NGC3982> Oh, i also need to download all the NewGRF's to the server.
21:21:33  <__ln__> NGC3982: did you see Dredd yet?
21:21:36  <NGC3982> No.
21:21:56  <NGC3982> Is there a way for me to download all the current NewGRF's in one go?
21:23:17  <frosch123> no, sadly the server cannot ask bananas for the stuff from a savegame
21:23:20  <frosch123> only the gui can do that
21:24:03  <NGC3982> I was refering more to the fact that i can't find a "download everything" button on Bananas.openttd.org.
21:24:21  <NGC3982> Since, that would greatly help my savegame moving-and-running process.
21:30:28  <planetmaker> if you run a server, have a look at the content rcon command
21:31:02  <NGC3982> Yes, i'm administrating my servers with rcon.
21:31:08  <andythenorth> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=diWtAdma
21:31:15  <andythenorth> probably makes no sense out of context
21:31:18  <NGC3982> I have not yet downloaded anything, or moved/stored NewGRF's with it.
21:31:42  * NGC3982 made a script that downloaded everything with the GUI.

21:39:10  <andythenorth> michi_cc: want me to try the OS X patch?
21:39:35  <michi_cc> andythenorth: http://www.icosahedron.de/openttd/patches/openttd-custom-geeea764dM-OSX-2.zip see what you can break :)
21:39:47  <andythenorth> what does it fix? :)
21:41:56  <michi_cc> Fullscreen on 10.7+ and maybe some mouse problems.
21:43:07  <andythenorth> k I'm on 10.7.4, Fullscreen appears to work.  The animated transition to / from full screen is best described as 'weird'
21:43:26  <andythenorth> and the full screen option in game options shows no 'true' state
21:45:02  <andythenorth> the mouse appears to track better, but the issues with that have been intermittent...so ENoEvidence :)
21:45:38  <andythenorth> hmm
21:46:10  <andythenorth> the standard OS X full screen option on window title bar works
21:46:16  <andythenorth> it has video glitch
21:46:36  <andythenorth> it's a different animation to choosing full screen from menu / or in game options
21:47:34  <andythenorth> no crash on minimising to / from dock
21:47:56  <andythenorth> video glitch on maximise window (green button)
21:48:51  <andythenorth> full screen only works for native resolution afaict
21:49:58  <andythenorth> any other resolution is ignored and reset to native (OpenTTD full screen)
21:50:29  <andythenorth> for OS X full screen, the resolution is respected, but shown at 1:1 scaled to native resolution, i.e. smaller, no window chrome, over a background
21:51:20  <NGC3982> Uhm.
21:51:46  <NGC3982> If i start a server that advertises a certain server name and then load a new game, will the old one still remain advertised?
21:52:45  <andythenorth> michi_cc: let me know if you need any screenshots or such
21:52:47  <andythenorth> couldn't break it
21:52:56  <andythenorth> except for above
21:53:22  <michi_cc> So, better than current or not?
21:56:32  <NGC3982> Of course, i get a NewGRF mismatch.
21:57:53  <andythenorth> michi_cc: better imo
21:57:59  <andythenorth> but
21:58:18  <andythenorth> I forsee new bug reports :(
21:58:20  <NGC3982> I guess that is due to my client (where i saved the game) uses Windows, and the server (where i tried to load the save file) uses Linux.
21:58:34  <andythenorth> wrt lack of control over resolution in full screen
21:58:44  <michi_cc> andythenorth: A bug report about a glitch is better than a bug report about a crash.
21:58:50  <andythenorth> yes
21:58:59  <andythenorth> I assume apple have removed the ability to change resolution
21:59:04  <andythenorth> that would be very apple-like

22:33:03  <peter1138> NGC3982, no, that'll be due to the server not having the same set of NewGRFs
22:38:32  <NGC3982> Yes, i noticed. I had not used a copy command recursivly.
22:38:45  <NGC3982> It is solved, and the server is running.

I adressed it to Andy the other day, and it seems like it's b0rked in some way. <- it's still in the issue tracker for CHIPS, but I haven't had time to look at it yet
22:50:46  <andythenorth> ho ho
22:50:51  <andythenorth> random graphics in squid
22:50:54  <andythenorth> that was easy :)
22:52:33  <andythenorth> same ship class, different graphics https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/3851/random.png
22:52:39  <andythenorth> might freak a few people out
22:52:50  <andythenorth> but eh, they can always try another ship grf :)
22:53:09  <peter1138> you'll get bug reports
22:53:30  <jonty-comp> so my friend is doing a TV coverage of an ice hockey game
22:53:39  <jonty-comp> and he realised he'd forgotten his laptop with the software that does the score overlay
22:53:46  <jonty-comp> but what did he have? his pi, with a RISC OS system image
22:53:52  <peter1138> oh dear
22:53:54  <jonty-comp> so he wrote a BBC BASIC PROGRAM TO DISPLAY THE SCORES
22:53:58  <jonty-comp> it's AMAZING
22:54:37  <andythenorth> can he also write an open source clone of Chocks Away?
22:55:00  <jonty-comp> the only game I remember from RISC OS is granny's garden
22:55:16  <peter1138> granny's garden was a bbc micro title :S
22:55:19  <andythenorth> peter1138: I'll just add some text to buy menu then... Graphics: Random
22:55:32  <andythenorth> also, where is Ice Cream Stand game, I have been looking for it for years
22:55:39  <andythenorth> you ran an ice cream stand
22:55:44  <andythenorth> on a beach
22:55:46  <andythenorth> it was great
22:55:57  <jonty-comp> peter1138: yeah well like I say there are BBC BASIC interpreters for RISC OS
22:56:10  <jonty-comp> and i am too young for BBC Micros, but I am not too young for primary schools with no budget
22:56:22  <peter1138> well it's built in, obviously
22:56:58  <andythenorth> 10: color = rnd(12)
22:57:02  <andythenorth> 20 print "fuck"
22:57:05  <andythenorth> 30 goto 10
22:57:15  <jonty-comp> actually i think we had a port with improved graphics
22:57:15  <andythenorth> ah computer classes at school :)
22:57:43  * andythenorth starts beebem
22:57:57  <jonty-comp> we did have one bbc micro though
22:57:58  <andythenorth> have to use mode 2 iirc
22:58:02  <jonty-comp> the only disk that still worked was podd
22:58:36  <andythenorth> hmm not mode 2
22:58:44  <andythenorth> podd was to discover if you had special needs or not
23:05:47  <andythenorth> probably time for bed eh? http://imgflip.com/i/okej
