08:34:57  <Zavior> What year does monorail/maglev come available?
08:36:05  <peter1138> with the standard vehicles, around 2000 for monorail, and 2020 for maglev

08:56:16  <TheMask96> ln-: great idea to have some R&D investments... question I've got is who would do the R&D? your own company or some other?... would the technology also become available for other players?
08:58:00  <peter1138> ah, then you need to write the patent office simulation
08:58:23  <TheMask96> lol :)
09:07:46  *** TinoM| is now known as TinoM
09:18:53  <ln-> TheMask96: i'd say the technology wouldn't be available for other players until after 5..10 years.

09:36:34  <TheMask96> ln-: what should happen if 2 companies invested money in R&D, would they both get the 5-10 year head-start?
09:38:20  <ln-> i didn't think that far yet.
09:38:31  <Rubidium> ofcourse not, one company will be lucky, the other will have to wait 5-10 years till the patent expires
09:39:36  <Rubidium> though, maybe the other companies would be able to use the new technology in license (so they pay a little extra for having maglev, before the patents expire)
09:41:44  <TheMask96> Rubidium: also a good idea I think...
09:41:53  <Rubidium> too the company that has the patent ofcourse
09:43:01  <TheMask96> only problem in this is, that if you are the richest company (probably winning already), you have enough money to put in R&D, and you make even more money because of people buying your license...
09:43:59  *** shintah [i=bebble@84-217-107-77.tn.glocalnet.net] has joined #openttd
09:44:00  <Rubidium> isn't that happening in real life already?
09:44:46  <TheMask96> yes and no... there are also small companies that develop great things and become bigger because they have a patent :)
09:45:49  <Rubidium> but that is the chance part; if you invest a lot of money, you'll get a higher chance to get a develop a patentable technology
09:46:54  <TheMask96> Rubidium: great, I didn't thought of that, I was thinking that if someone spend $money in R&D he would get the technology ;)

09:53:18  <Richk67_wrk> all this would mean is that the richest player buys up all the patents, making it impossible for a late-joining player to have *any* little bonus.... if this were on a server, i would avoid that server like the plague
09:53:31  <Zavior> Humm
09:54:00  <Prof_Frink> Richk67_wrk: What TTD needs isn't patents, it's startup grants
09:54:29  <Prof_Frink> If there's an uberhuge company, you get some money at the start just for providing competition
09:54:49  <TheMask96> yes... that would be fair too I think...
09:54:52  <Richk67_wrk> we already have loans and subsidies ... i dont think anyone needs a startup grant
09:55:23  <Richk67_wrk> ah... gotcha... yes, i can see a benefit to that
09:55:44  <Richk67_wrk> brb work
09:55:51  <TheMask96> :)
09:57:16  <TheMask96> I'd still like to have the possebility to merge companies in to one company... it happends a lot that I want to leave after playing for some hours, and nobody wants to work in my company... but there would be enough companies that would like to merge I think...

15:04:56  <Belugas> the creator of the branch (Tron) removed it.  The merge was premature, according to him.
15:05:09  <Richk67_wrk> the bridge branch was not ready - it had problems that the main author didnt want in trunk... his choice
15:06:43  <Trenskow> who is the main author ?
15:06:52  <Richk67_wrk> Tron
15:06:56  <Brianetta> Weird decision, frankly.  The trunk isn't meant to be a stable release; it's the development version.
15:07:02  <init> Okay. I'll just hope it'll be ready soon, it looked cool. Building bridges over diagonal track has been a personal wish for quite long. :)
15:07:39  <Brianetta> Devs seem to think that the nightly build should be release-stable, that the trunk should only have completed features merged into it.
15:07:51  <Hackykid> Brianetta: well, dunno, theres something to be said for developing such big features in a seperate branch
15:07:52  <Brianetta> I think they've lost track of what a development version is.
15:08:02  <Hackykid> and merging when they are *finished*
15:08:02  <Brianetta> Hackykid: It's hardly a big feature
15:08:06  <Richk67_wrk> brianetta - its the same with TGP ... it looks good when it works, but until KUDr's improvements it definitely was not ready for trunk IMO... even tho many people asked for it to go in
15:08:21  <init> Brianetta: I'd say that the SVN version has been remarkably stable, I can usually just pick the latest with few, if any, problems
15:08:39  <Brianetta> Things should be developed in trunk, and if the public doesn't want to risk an unstable build, they should run a release.
15:08:59  <Brianetta> init: That's just it.  The SVN is kept stable, which seems to be odd.
15:09:04  <Hackykid> heh, that would suck
15:09:19  <Brianetta> Hackykid: It's how the rest of the FOSS world works.
15:09:36  <Hackykid> so? :-p
15:09:37  <Brianetta> You can check out a CVS version of any big app, but it's not even guaranteed to compile.

15:10:11  <Richk67_wrk> what i find weirder is that when a release is done, it isnt trunk... its a separate entity with selected patches backported from trunk
15:10:45  <Brianetta> Richk67_wrk: That's the same as the Linux kernel, though
15:10:55  <Brianetta> Fixes get backported
15:11:07  <Brianetta> New features wait for a future release with a new version number
15:11:23  <Brianetta> 0.4.x is a past release
15:11:32  <Brianetta> Trunk will never be 0.4, it's 0.5pre
15:12:02  <Hackykid> well, before a release was just a tag of the current /trunk
15:12:13  <Brianetta> yes, which was good
15:12:20  <Brianetta> but not backport friendly
15:13:05  <Hackykid> hmm, yeah
15:13:38  <Hackykid> the thing is, even a new release exists of backports now, while that isnt really needed?
15:13:51  <Hackykid> hmm, dunno though
15:14:10  <Brianetta> It's good that the stable branch (0.4) is being maintained
15:14:19  <Hackykid> yeah
15:14:22  <blathijs> Brianetta: the danger of developing features in trunk is that they are not finished by the time the next release is due
15:14:33  <Brianetta> blathijs: Timetables? hah
15:14:55  <blathijs> Brianetta: okay, by the time that we want to release a new feature
15:14:59  <Brianetta> Most dev teams call a feature freeze when a release is due
15:15:04  <blathijs> like PBS for example
15:15:20  <Brianetta> PBS was a massive example of backpedalling
15:15:21  <Brianetta> It's rare
15:15:25  <Brianetta> even for OpenTTD
15:15:40  <Hackykid> backpedalling?
15:15:49  <Richk67_wrk> lol - feature freeze... (definition of trunk ;) )
15:16:12  <blathijs> Brianetta: True, but by not developing big features in trunk, you prevent them
15:16:52  <blathijs> Brianetta: also, you want to keep the trunk stable, at least make sure it always compiles
15:17:06  <Brianetta> blathijs: It's still extremely non-standard, and also means you can't test interoperability of features until they're complete.  If they don't interoperate, you're back to square one
15:17:08  <blathijs> since committing something that breaks compilation hinders other developers
15:17:16  <Brianetta> something needs rewriting, and the test cycle MUST start again
15:17:38  <blathijs> Brianetta: you can, by keeping the branch up to date?
15:17:54  <Brianetta> blathijs: Which branch?
15:18:03  <Hackykid> he means if two seperate features each in their own branch
15:18:06  <Brianetta> Say TGP conflicts at some fundamental level with bridges
15:18:08  <blathijs> ah, like that
15:18:10  <blathijs> true
15:18:19  <Brianetta> Unlikely, I know
15:19:17  <blathijs> still, a valid point :-)
15:20:06  * Richk67_wrk points to MiniIN ... this is where it can serve as a testbed for the interoperability... IMO many of the patches in it are no-brainers for trunk inclusion

15:21:11  <Brianetta> Richk67_wrk: Getting any patch included in the trunk is like getting a personal reply to fan mail sent to a band like U2
15:21:22  <Brianetta> Unlikely in the extreme, but has happened on occasion
15:21:30  <Hackykid> hehe
15:21:44  <Richk67_wrk> lol - dont i know it
15:21:46  <Hackykid> you just need to be lucky :-p
15:22:30  <Brianetta> Does the Minty have any place in the development process, or did they just provide a branch as a favour?
15:22:31  <Hackykid> the first patch i ever made got included (rewritten a bit, but heh) after only 2 weeks or so
15:22:36  <Hackykid> that was lucky :-)
15:22:39  <Richk67_wrk> favour
15:23:15  <Richk67_wrk> but i think they like the idea of someone else (ie. me) doing all the pre-flight integration checks, like no trailing spaces etc
15:23:33  <Brianetta> As long as they listen to your recommendations
15:23:36  <Richk67_wrk> so if they want to pinch a patch into trunk, it is easier from MiniIN
15:23:41  <Richk67_wrk> LOL
15:24:16  <Richk67_wrk> i may (may) be commiting New Airports to trunk real soon... its in last stages
15:24:19  <init> Brianetta: I agree on the difficulty of getting a patch included in the trunk. I had a bugfix that i bugged the devs about several times, and they promised to look at it every time, but then nothing happened. I still have to patch openttd manually every time I get a new rev, since the bug makes it unplayable.

17:25:13  <peter1138> yes
17:25:51  <hylje> is there any improvements to road stuff in any newgrf or so
17:26:09  <hylje> i want to be able to make a transport empire with just trucks
17:26:25  <Zavior> Not an effective one
17:27:19  <hylje> :x
17:27:43  <hylje> is there a limit on vehicles
17:27:55  <hylje> i remember crashing ottd once with too many trucks on one route
17:28:23  <anboni> peter1138, do you think it would be possible to make railway track change color (or draw a simple line on it), to display the path a train intends to take?
17:28:47  <hylje> anboni: or show the intended path in advance when a train is selected
17:29:15  <peter1138> no
17:29:34  <anboni> bummer
17:30:14  <peter1138> well. you could cache the pathfinder result with the vehicle
17:30:20  <peter1138> and draw that
17:30:22  <Eddi|zuHause> you could try changing the palette of the track or ground sprites

17:30:54  <peter1138> but it would probably change at the next junction
17:31:01  <Eddi|zuHause> well... if celestar starts to work on these new signals, parts of the path should be stored
17:31:28  <anboni> peter1138, yeah, it would.. but the idea is to have the game display the intended path, as a debugging option for pathfinding, TBS/PBS, etc
17:31:34  <Eddi|zuHause> that path would not change anymore, and pathfinding would be done from the end of this fixed path
17:32:23  <Eddi|zuHause> imho, storing the path would be at the same place where currently the engine and wagon positions are stored
17:32:57  <Eddi|zuHause> so you store current position (engine), past position (wagons) and future position (fixed path) of the train
17:36:20  <anboni> peter1138, what would you think are the possibilities for drawing that path?
17:36:50  <Hackykid> you could do it like pbs did

21:52:57  <bulio> I haven't built much more than 2 line tracks with 2 locomotions
21:53:19  <bulio> where can I get it?
21:53:22  <anboni> hmm
21:53:26  <Ihmemies> are boobs related?
21:53:43  <Brianetta> That sandbox game is too slow for me
21:53:45  <bulio> I'll be back soon
21:53:49  <bulio> thanks for everything
21:53:56  <Brianetta> Half the letters I type are ignores
21:53:56  <Ihmemies> Brianetta, you have too slow pc!
21:54:06  <Brianetta> Ihmemies: It's a faster PC than the server
21:54:15  <Ihmemies> or.. connection.. ! or maybe hte server yeats all the power from your connection :D
21:54:19  <Ihmemies> and causes that lag
21:54:33  <Brianetta> How would the server eat the power?
21:54:38  <Brianetta> It's 500 miles away
21:54:55  <Hackykid> http://nightly.openttd.org/MiniIN/files
21:55:06  <Ihmemies> you never know
21:55:11  <anboni> bulio, i dont have the download location for MiniIN at hand, but if you search the forum (or wait for Hackykid to respond) you should find it :)
21:55:22  <Hackykid> hehe, lol :-p
21:55:29  <baske> small question: is CopyFileA() a linux compatible way to copy a file?
21:55:43  <Hackykid> it was still in my irc backlog :-)
21:55:50  <anboni> that helps :)
21:57:06  <Ihmemies> would be nice if that savegame made it's way to the wiki
21:57:17  <Ihmemies> with a screen from mlh01a-c
21:57:21  <Ihmemies> off
21:57:51  <XeryusTC> <Brianetta> That sandbox game is too slow for me <- you're not the only one with that problem
21:58:08  <Ihmemies> amd x2 power!
21:58:26  <XeryusTC> but it is caused by server lag, i played the game in sp and it worked fine
21:58:54  <Ihmemies> why it then priorizes always me to #1? :P
21:59:21  <Brianetta> yes, server lag
21:59:35  <Brianetta> the game's priority has been lowered
21:59:47  <Brianetta> because I can't really afford to burn CPU on it
21:59:54  <Ihmemies> :(
22:00:09  <XeryusTC> an obvious thing to do with such an amount of trains ;)
22:00:15  <Ihmemies> what else you run on that server then, more important stuff I mean :)
22:00:39  <Brianetta> Ihmemies: It has several web sites on it
22:00:47  <Ihmemies> pfft
22:00:55  <Ihmemies> some cs clan sites, of course
22:00:55  <Brianetta> it also handles several people's email
22:01:02  <Brianetta> cs clan sites?
22:01:04  <Brianetta> None of them
22:01:17  <Brianetta> It has my nightclub
22:01:23  <Brianetta> a popular X2 site
22:01:37  <Brianetta> a couple of small businesses run by friends
22:01:51  <Ihmemies> ok ok you don't have to prove it :)
22:02:19  <Brianetta> and....
22:02:23  <Brianetta> my nightly
22:02:24  <Brianetta> (:
22:03:10  <XeryusTC> Brianetta: is the MS running on your other server then?
22:03:23  <Brianetta> No
22:03:27  <Brianetta> It's on the same machine
22:03:38  <Brianetta> but it's nowhere near as painful as the sandbox
22:03:44  <Brianetta> even when both are busy
22:04:07  <XeryusTC> some people expected too much of the server when they wanted 1000+ trains :P
22:04:25  <Brianetta> sandbox has about 800 trains too many for the network
22:04:41  <Brianetta> The network needs to be able to handle so many trains, and frankly it's not
22:04:42  <glx> [23:55:41] <baske> small question: is CopyFileA() a linux compatible way to copy a file? <-- that's windows only I think
22:04:43  <XeryusTC> i know, but nobody wants to do train management
22:04:49  <Ihmemies> we demand a dedicated server for sandbox!
22:04:52  <XeryusTC> and if you do it someone else will just buy some new trains
22:04:54  <Ihmemies> so we could ahve 5000 trains
22:05:07  <XeryusTC> Ihmemies: you're going to pay for one?
22:05:19  <Brianetta> Ihmemies: There are plenty of inexpensive providers
22:05:23  <baske> glx: thankx. any general alternatives available?
22:05:49  <XeryusTC> i *could* host a server when TRoS gets popular and we get a dedicated server
22:06:54  <Ihmemies> XeryusTC, pay? I thought servers jsut come from *somewhere*
22:07:23  <XeryusTC> Ihmemies: they do, but that would involve hacking and that's illegal
22:07:43  <Ihmemies> duhh
22:07:51  <Ihmemies> how boring :(
22:07:58  * Brianetta listens to an MP3 RSS feed with his Sony PSP
22:08:18  <paulsen> hm
22:08:20  <Ihmemies> np: Eternal Tears Of Sorrow - Angelheart, Ravenheart (Act 1), np time!
22:08:26  <paulsen> if you buy shares in a opponents company
22:08:35  <paulsen> do you get any kind of income from the competitor?
22:08:37  <Ihmemies> you can sell them later on for much $$$? :/
22:08:45  <XeryusTC> no
22:08:47  <Brianetta> paulsen: No, it's basically a bit crap
22:08:58  <paulsen> roger
22:09:29  <paulsen> does openttd per default permit buying 100% shares of a competitor (in multiplayer)?
22:09:31  <Ihmemies> if it allowed others to leech money from me, that'd mean my company would be family run business :)
22:10:08  <XeryusTC> paulsen: no

22:11:25  <Brianetta> It stops
22:11:28  <[Shaman]> stops
22:11:29  <paulsen> ok
22:11:57  <paulsen> bah. the only sad part about TTD is the easyness of making money with planes
22:12:01  <Brianetta> It was originally coded by Chris Sawyer as a feature to bullet-point on the back of the box
22:12:33  <[Shaman]> heh
22:12:40  <paulsen> I have 1.5billion dollars
22:12:48  <paulsen> and this game has been running for ~20hours
22:13:01  <paulsen> my competitor (a multiplayer friend) has 4 times as much
22:13:02  <paulsen> :<
22:13:03  <[Shaman]> On big maps I usually end up around 2005 making 100m/year
22:13:11  <[Shaman]> <3 MiniIN
22:13:14  <[Shaman]> big airport ftw :P
22:13:18  <paulsen> well
22:13:23  <paulsen> the int. airport is really sweet
22:13:29  <paulsen> but its too easy to make money :(
22:13:33  <[Shaman]> heh
22:13:51  <paulsen> I have trains rolling into a competitors town, carrying 1000 passengers per ride
22:13:53  <[Shaman]> it is, but wait 10 years with an airfield near 2 towns
22:14:01  <[Shaman]> they will crawl around it and you'll be stuck with overflow
22:14:07  <[Shaman]> meaning you'll have to buy more planes to fix it
22:14:15  <[Shaman]> giving more money, making the towns grow even MORE
22:14:17  <paulsen> yet the people in the town go in line at the competitors airport (where he has a 30% reputation)
22:14:20  <[Shaman]> it's an endless loop :P
22:14:24  <paulsen> while my trainstation has 97% reputation
22:14:35  <[Shaman]> Buy exclusive transport rights?
22:14:48  <paulsen> costs so insanely much :(
22:14:53  <[Shaman]> costs ya a mil or two, but will stop them from going to yer opponent at all
22:15:11  <[Shaman]> I made an opponent go bankrupt due to that once :P
22:15:12  <paulsen> its mill
22:15:17  <paulsen> in that particular town
22:15:20  <[Shaman]> you have 1.5b!
22:15:26  <[Shaman]> that's small change man :p
22:15:57  <paulsen> I still dont understand why the passengers go to that airport
22:16:00  <[Shaman]> My opponent was focussing on 6 towns with an immense train network, at least 40 trains running between em non-stop
22:16:04  <paulsen> when it has poor rating
22:16:09  <paulsen> while my trainstation has excellent rating
22:16:09  <[Shaman]> so i made an airfield at every town, bought exclusive rights
22:16:35  <paulsen> It seems like passengers like planes more
22:16:38  <paulsen> :|
22:16:41  <[Shaman]> made a fuckton of planes, at the end of the year he had to max out his loan because he kept on buying shit :P
22:17:01  <[Shaman]> airfields have better cover area dude, they attract more people from the surroundings
22:17:22  <paulsen> ah, yes.. forgot about that
22:17:35  <paulsen> bigger trainstations should have bigger coverage area!@
22:17:35  <paulsen> :P
22:17:39  <paulsen> <- train geek
22:17:44  <paulsen> I have like.. 20 planes
22:17:47  <paulsen> he has 80
22:17:59  <[Shaman]> with 80 planes you can easily make.. 30-40m/year
22:18:04  <paulsen> the ones configured for mail transport brings in m every year
22:18:23  <bulio> MiniIN, I have to ocmpile from source?
22:18:26  <paulsen> last year he made 8m
22:18:29  <paulsen> just from planes

22:53:48  <Hackykid> heya RichK67
22:54:51  <RichK67> hmm MiniIN is getting out of sync with trunk :(    more work
22:57:30  <CIA-3> richk * r5339 /branch/TGP/ (debug.c debug.h misc.c): [TGP]: Added new debug category (tgp) to monitor when different phases of terrain generation are reached.
22:58:30  <bulio> what is the difference of minI
22:59:23  <bulio> also, it overwrites the openttd folder?
22:59:46  <RichK67> you can download it to a different folder - much easier
23:00:47  <RichK67> MiniIN provides a blend of interesting patches onto the nightly - so it adds a new terrain generator, more airports, subsidiaries, snow in temperate, pbs, lots of good things :)
23:01:17  <bulio> awesome
23:01:25  <bulio> so make a new folder in program files?
23:01:28  <bulio> put it in there?
23:02:19  <RichK67> or wherever you like - download the latest build from the SVN, or get the twice weekly auto-build at http://nightly.openttd.org/MiniIN/files
23:03:08  <RichK67> for more info go to the wiki - http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Mini_Integrated_Nightly
23:03:59  <bulio> great, thanks
23:04:09  <bulio> your a developer of OpenTTD I assume?
23:04:18  <RichK67> i do the MiniIN
23:04:31  <bulio> awesome
23:04:43  <RichK67> and several of the patches - TGP (terrain), New Airports, Snow, etc... :)

23:07:36  <glx> for music you need ttd gm folder
23:07:43  <RichK67> echo....
23:07:53  <bulio> ok
23:08:52  <bulio> hrmm
23:09:00  <bulio> it'd be nice to make a breakdowns patch
23:09:12  <bulio> to decrease the % of breakdowns
23:09:16  <bulio> I always play with them off
23:09:22  <bulio> there's just too many heh
23:09:40  <glx> they depend on engine reliability
23:09:51  <glx> and depot visit frequency
23:11:17  <RichK67> i usually put a mandatory depot visit after exit of loading station (where it has just waited)... it is then in top condition to run to its destination without breakdown... and then i force a mandatory service on the way back... i regularly keep 70%+ reliability
23:12:14  <bulio> what about buildnig stations
23:12:17  <glx> DSSSSRRRRRRSSSSD works well
23:12:30  <bulio> How would I go about building a large station with 16+ tracks?
23:12:32  <glx> for single line
23:12:51  <bulio> double line, but they become large
23:12:53  <bulio> *larger
23:13:00  <glx> you increase station spread?
23:13:05  <valhallazzzw> only 16+? :(
23:13:18  <valhallazzzw> you must be joking 8)
23:13:40  <bulio> how many can you make?
23:13:49  <bulio> I don't mean how to build it
23:13:53  <bulio> I mean how to maintain it
23:14:01  <bulio> with different trains coming from different places
23:14:11  <valhallazzzw> you've got two entrance and two exit tracks
23:14:14  <valhallazzzw> what's the problem?
23:14:27  <glx> use dedicated path could help too
23:14:42  <valhallazzzw> ottdcoop makes larger stations than that :p
23:14:48  <valhallazzzw> but I can't get my openttd atm :/
23:16:02  <[Shaman]> an 8-wide 6 long station would use 16 tracks at least :P
23:16:08  <[Shaman]> 8 entry, 8 exit
23:16:21  <valhallazzzw> erm, no
23:16:23  <[Shaman]> entry>exit combinations work WAY better than entry <> exit
23:16:23  <bulio> can someone send me a map file with some really big and complex train lines?
23:16:29  <bulio> I wanna see how they work

23:35:12  <Ihmemies> like R__R .. and the city builds R_R (more roads, less room for apartments?

23:44:52  <bulio> does openttd have pre-signals?
23:45:04  <lws1984> yes
23:45:23  <[Shaman]> [RichK67]: Shaman: in the scenario editor, I will eventually have a whole load of build options, so you can get it to produce a map exactly as if you had done NewGame... its just annoying how clumsy the ScenGen is at the moment << e//
23:45:24  <glx> build a signal, then ctrl-click on it
23:45:43  <[Shaman]> May i suggest 'disallowing' generating certain industries? :P
23:45:50  <[Shaman]> aka you can end up in a coal-only map or summat
23:46:17  <[Shaman]> or you can enable the raw material ones only, and disable the factories that refine them :P
23:46:39  <[Shaman]> would give a new dimension to funding an industry :o
23:48:24  <RichK67> shaman - that is the idea for the TGP v2.0 ScenGen pack ;)
23:48:36  <[Shaman]> xD
