13:40:20  <Eddi|zuHause> i think i figured out why suggestion algorithms (like youtube videos, personalized ads, etc.) are so terrible. they have no concept of me being saturated with a certain kind of content, so "more of the same" will grow ever more annoying.

14:02:40  <Eddi|zuHause> i think that's just a special case of what i said
14:02:49  <supermop> so i've drawn my belts as catenaries, so they can be tall,
14:04:09  <supermop> but the two different simple rail sets i looked at on dev zone do not seem to have catenary sprites, so unsure what exactly a catenary sprite sheet would look at
14:04:32  <supermop> also unsure how to get a project page for the belts so i can put what i have there for review
14:05:23  <Eddi|zuHause> supermop: there's a "dutch catenary" set, but that probably is not what you're looking for
14:06:05  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: probably nor, but i assume i should at least format my sprites in a similar manner?
14:07:10  <Eddi|zuHause> in generally, catenary is drawn as two alternating tiles, a single-tile filler sprite, and an end-piece for tunnel entrances
14:07:46  <Eddi|zuHause> and the sloped versions thereof, without the tunnel tile

14:08:51  <Eddi|zuHause> note that drawing belts as catenary will probably screw with your display of vehicles
14:12:21  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: poles and wire are separate sprites though right? i recall from making stations that you could disable one or the other independently
14:18:00  <supermop> i am not sure if its possible to have the "poles" drawn so they are behind a vehicle - but my intention  is to have the belt surface, supports, and back edge of structure as the "pole" positioned behind the vehicle position, and the front edge and 'hoops' that cover the belt would be the wire?
14:18:48  <Montana> how is unique ID assigned at Bananas?
14:19:07  <supermop> if that doesn't work could just 'flatten' the back half and draw it as regular track sprites,  and only the front and cover is catenary
14:21:13  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: if you look at a firs clay pit, the reddish/pink bars over the belt are what i am referring to. Also these belts are so small i guess i'd be ok with never seeing the vehicles unless user hides overhead
14:21:54  <supermop> as the vehicle is just going to be a 1 or 2 px wide black smear (or red for ore)
14:22:26  <Eddi|zuHause> you cannot affect the position of the poles, the game places them "randomly" in the front or the back
14:22:49  <supermop> ok
14:23:05  <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think "never see vehicles" is a good option, even if they are just 2 pixels
14:25:21  <supermop> i have more 'philosophical' work to do later about what the functionality of this should be
14:28:22  <supermop> is it expensive infrastructure but very high capacity and fast speed, or is it just a slow drip to smooth out bulk mineral deliveries? should one beltline be enough to handle all of the monthly deliveries of a busy powerplant/steel mill etc over the course of the month? or do users build more belts to increase capacity
14:29:09  <supermop> for now though i just want some cute functional belts,, and i can adjust the speed and size of the 'piles' that travel the belt later
14:37:01  *** Matombo [~Matombo@nat-wlan2.rrze.uni-erlangen.de] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
14:44:10  <Eddi|zuHause> i was assuming it's the functional equivalent of the pipes GRF, just for bulk instead of liquid
14:44:27  <Eddi|zuHause> and i don't agree with the functionality of the pipes GRF anyway.
14:47:12  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: same, but until there is some kind of new "continuous waytype" for gondolas, pipes, conveyors etc i think this is the best we can do
14:47:54  <supermop> but i dont think it should be the high speed to represent continous delivery of pipes
14:49:33  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure i said this before, but it would probably work better as a roadtype, so you can have many small vehicles densely packed
14:49:41  *** Matombo [~Matombo@nat-wlan2.rrze.uni-erlangen.de] has joined #openttd
14:49:50  <Eddi|zuHause> and don't need extra tiles for a "return trip"
14:50:50  <supermop> because i envision a use case that is specifically to slow down deliveries.  If your steel mill gets 1000t of iron ore once every 3 months by train, and 600t of coal once every 4 months, you might rarely ever get the production bonus
14:51:44  <supermop> maybe the belt lets you instead deliver that coal 50t every 10 days
14:52:36  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: if you use the belt as a shuttle you dont need a return belt
14:52:37  <Eddi|zuHause> but that's the point, if you have a belts-as-railtype to deliver 50t every 10 days, you could also just have trains deliver 50t every 10 days
14:54:59  <supermop> or trucks
14:55:04  <supermop> or even barges
14:55:54  <supermop> or wheelbarrows
14:56:25  <Eddi|zuHause> the problem is, if you implement belts as railtype, you can only make them equal, better or worse than trains. not an uncomparable with niche uses
14:57:38  <Eddi|zuHause> at least not when you consider an arbitrary newgrf train set being used, where you don't know anything about possible niches left open
14:58:00  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: i don't know if it will be possible to fully balance it but my idea is that the belt infrastructure is fairly expensive, but the piles of stuff are cheap and possibly slow
14:58:48  <supermop> so that the belt is better suited to deliveries over a small distance, where the shuttle effect is most straightforward anyway
14:59:45  <Eddi|zuHause> but "shuttle" is a terrible idea, because the game incentivizes you to have always a vehicle loading
15:00:10  <supermop> of course anyone could could add a train grf with  refit to anything trains, which are also refittable to the exact capacity you want

15:00:44  <supermop> so it is impossible to balance anything against unknown future vehicles
15:00:59  <Eddi|zuHause> it is impossible to balance the game anyway.
15:01:38  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: at a source industry you generally need two stations each always loading a vehicle if you want all of the cargo
15:02:27  <supermop> but at some intermediate coal dump as long as the rating is over 50% you could have the 'last mile' belt in station only 1/2 the time or less
15:04:36  <supermop> roadtype could work if andy gets there, but as is i think the various "subways/monorails/etc" should be coded as trams are even worse than using railtypes for these

15:05:33  <supermop> as then you end up with your subway/monorail/chairlift potentially stuck in traffic

15:13:31  <supermop> but even if it is indistinguishable from a train, i think there will some advantage among some niche users who find building little rail networks around their mines or steel mills or power plants just doesn't look good to them (even though historically all of these would probably have some small internal rail system)
15:16:22  <supermop> seeing as some users seem to like building beltlines out of objects or stations already
15:25:27  <supermop> sigh

17:27:21  <Matombo> is there a way to mass replace vehicles with the same type of vehicle?
17:27:35  <Alberth> autorenew?
17:27:57  <Alberth> somewhere in the settings
17:27:57  <Matombo> i have a lot of aging trucks and don't want to do it mnually, i also don't want to set autoreplace for every vehicle
17:28:17  <Matombo> but autorenew is for every vehicle
17:28:36  <Matombo> i still want to do it manually
17:28:45  <Matombo> like with the replacement dialoge
17:28:51  *** Ttech [~ttech@dragons.have.mostlyincorrect.info] has joined #openttd
17:28:57  <Matombo> but not with a new vehicle type but with the same
17:29:02  <Alberth> then you need to do some programming first
17:29:23  <Matombo> damn
17:29:41  <Matombo> is there a mod somewhere that already implements this? xD
17:30:15  <Alberth> mod?  what's that?
17:30:33  <Alberth> I know about source code patch, newgrfs, and scripts (GS and AI)
17:30:50  <Alberth> it all modifies things
17:30:53  <Alberth> *they
17:31:38  <Alberth> but afaik, there is nothing in your direction
17:32:30  <Matombo> dang
17:32:41  <Matombo> well thanks anyway
17:32:48  <Alberth> one of the problems with programming games, users always want things that are not implemented :)
17:33:49  <Alberth> why is autorenew of everything a problem?
17:34:28  <Alberth> you just get new vehicles that are otherwise exactly the same
17:35:17  <Matombo> i want to decide wen i spent money, i now i can set some options when the autorenew triggers, but i would still prefere doing the klick myself
17:35:55  <Matombo> btw thanks for the awsome game wasted more hours the last week on it than on darksouls 2 xD
17:36:07  <Alberth> haha :)
17:36:20  <Alberth> addiction wears off in about 5-10 years :p
17:36:29  <Matombo> and more hours than on my homework
17:36:37  <Matombo> oh good to know

17:38:37  <Matombo> well a feature request for 1.7 or so: make the current vehicle type in the autoreplace dialog available too (maybe "hidden" behind a advanced setting)
17:38:55  <Matombo> would that be possible?
17:39:11  <Alberth> I think that has been proposed before, and it makes sense to me
17:39:42  <Alberth> practically everything is possible, it's mostly a matter of finding a person that wants to spend a few months on it
17:40:00  <Matombo> month?
17:40:13  <supermop__> how is replace like with like different than autorenew?
17:40:18  <Matombo> why is it so complicated altering the list of displayed options?
17:40:38  <Matombo> it's toggle manually
17:40:53  <Alberth> well, feel free to proof me wrong then
17:40:53  <supermop__> hmm now i have 2 _s
17:41:10  <V453000> it is interesting that almost every single player who sends me personal messages or emails, is czech, and doesn§
17:41:14  <V453000> t know I am as well
17:41:18  <Matombo> i have no clue of the source code xD
17:41:21  <_dp_> if you just add same type vehicles will end up constantly replacing since there is no age limit in autoreplace
17:41:29  <Alberth> :)
17:41:41  <Matombo> i read somewhere it was ported from a game written in assembler?
17:42:28  <Matombo> but autoreplace has the function "only replace old vehicles"
17:43:12  <Alberth> how does that function then?
17:43:32  <Alberth> what does "enable" or "disable" mean there?
17:43:44  <Matombo> i thought the only replace old vehicles option replaces all aged vehicles
17:44:09  <Alberth> how to preserve the old functionality without having two means to do the same thing
17:44:32  <Alberth> autoreplace starts replacing as soon as you click "replace on"
17:44:55  <Alberth> and if you click the same model at both sides it doesn't?
17:45:05  <Alberth> how is that consistent to the user?

17:46:54  <Alberth> it does all forever, until out of money or turned off :)
17:47:02  <Alberth> I have it switched on always :)
17:47:52  <Alberth> but adding a display options is the simplest part of it all
17:48:34  <Alberth> most work is in making it all work seamlessly and consistently both for the new games, but also for the already existing games
17:48:41  <Alberth> without breaking anything
17:49:08  <Matombo> and what exactly does the replace only old vehicles option?
17:50:14  <Alberth> autoreplace replaces as soon as you switch a replacement on
17:50:30  <Alberth> nothing on age, at least in vanilla openttd
17:50:40  <Alberth> patch packs may have additional settings
17:51:13  <Matombo> yeah i got that
17:51:36  <Matombo> but what doas the "replace only old vehicles" option then?
17:52:00  <Matombo> i thought that one replaces the vehicle with the new one as soon as it passes the age line
17:52:11  <Alberth> where is that option?
17:52:24  <Alberth> I don't know it
17:52:59  <Matombo> when you open the dropdown menu next to the "start replacing vehicle" button
17:54:54  <Alberth> :O  interesting, didn't know that :)
17:55:55  <Matombo> i'm sending you a screenshot screenshot
17:56:33  <Matombo> did you get it?
17:56:42  <Alberth> I accepted, but it doesn't seem to get here
17:56:51  <Matombo> ah damn
17:57:06  <Alberth> but I started openttd locally, and found it
17:58:01  <Alberth> I have no idea what it does
17:58:22  <Alberth> my guess is that it only autoreplaces when the vehicle is old enough
17:58:31  <Alberth> can you configure age somewhere?
17:59:00  <Alberth> although they probably just borrowed autorenew setting
17:59:34  <Alberth> btw, this does happen a lot, finding new options in a program you've been playing for years :p
17:59:45  <Matombo> what about greying out "start replacing vehicles" when the same vehicle is selected on bouth sides and only make this option available: it would simply be a autorenew but only for specific vehicles and triggerable from a ingame interface without navigationg throu the advanced settings?
18:00:30  <Alberth> you'd need a way to express the current autorenew too then
18:00:33  *** aard [~aard@108.134.189.109.customer.cdi.no] has joined #openttd
18:00:56  <Alberth> or existing savegames become a mess
18:01:40  <Matombo> i can't follow you right now
18:02:00  <Alberth> you have a savegame with autorenew in it now
18:02:16  <Alberth> then a new openttd version arrives with the thing in a gui
18:02:31  <Alberth> you load your old game, and you expect it to use the new gui
18:03:04  <Alberth> thus, the new system needs to be able to express what autorenew is today, or you cannot load an old savegame

18:04:09  <Alberth> it's not just adding, it's also providing an clean upgrade path for all existing games
18:04:16  <Matombo> but currently you allready have this coexistance of autorenew and the defacto autorenew in the autoreplace dialoge
18:04:29  <Alberth> yep
18:04:56  <Matombo> it wouldn't change that but only giving new input values to the allready existing function
18:05:19  <Alberth> you can't just add new things
18:05:47  <Alberth> you'll end up with 35 ways to do something, where different settings doing subtle different things
18:06:04  <Alberth> it's a sure way to kill openttd
18:06:19  <Matombo> well as we found out that is allready the status quo at the moment xD
18:06:22  <Alberth> instead, you try to unify things, and provide clean new ways
18:06:59  <Alberth> no, you cannot autorenew with the autoreplace
18:07:23  <Matombo> ok your point is: before adding to old suboptimal ways try create a new better one
18:07:24  <Alberth> but I agree things can be improved
18:08:48  <Alberth> it's the only way to keep it maintainable
18:09:13  <Alberth> not to mention understandable for users
18:10:04  <Alberth> but even then, me not knowing about the option means it's too much hidden
18:10:25  <Matombo> well some switch hidden in the advanced settings for such an essential task like it's at the moment isn'T really user friendly xD
18:12:09  <Alberth> not sure, I have it on, always, I never ever look at it
18:12:34  <Alberth> it depends a lot on how you play
18:13:29  <Alberth> but if you talk about user friendliness, there are much bigger fish than autorenew vs autoreplace :p

21:25:21  <Samu> can't use max_slot for the problem
21:25:45  <glx> knowing how many slots to fill, you just need to find the first empty slot, and repeat the search for each empty slot

22:31:35  <Samu> slots_to_fill
22:32:12  <Samu> interesting that I got rid of max_slot
22:32:20  <Samu> i always thought I needed it
22:35:02  <Samu> do you find any flaws in this solution?
22:35:16  <Samu> a quick testing seems to do everything correctly
22:35:38  <Samu> but still, I wonder if it's fool-proof
