10:16:15  <Bjarni> Sacro: http://devs.openttd.org/~bjarni/depot_list.diff <-- did you ever get as far as testing this patch?
10:16:23  <Sacro> Bjarni: ah, no
10:16:34  <Bjarni> redownload it as I updated it

10:17:05  <Bjarni> Darkvater talked about memory fragmentation so I modified it to prevent such an issue
10:17:06  <Sacro> Bjarni: with HEAD?
10:17:10  <Bjarni> yeah
10:17:49  <Bjarni> it's a few revisions old, but it should be free of conflicts
10:18:18  <Sacro> hmm, we'll see
10:18:43  <Bjarni> the only result the user should see is that drawing depot windows should now be twice as fast
10:19:03  <Bjarni> any other differences would be bugs
10:20:17  <Sacro> it patched ok, just compiling now
10:20:50  <Bjarni> also I'm looking for a savegame with close to the limit of vehicles (64k) because in theory the speed boost should be greater if the game contains more vehicles
10:21:11  <Sacro> hmm, ive never had one that high
10:21:22  <Bjarni> but the biggest savegame I got contains 7k vehicles
10:21:44  <Bjarni> each unit in a train is a vehicle and planes are two vehicles and helicopters are 3
10:22:00  <Sacro> hmm, then the nightly one that me and richk did might have a lot
10:22:04  *** Progman [~progman@p5091D01D.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
10:22:17  <Bjarni> so 10 trains of one engine and 9 wagons would actually be 100 vehicles
10:23:17  <Sacro> yeah, thats true

10:27:40  <Bjarni> did you patch a clean source?
10:27:46  <Sacro> yep
10:27:51  <Bjarni> I didn't touch genworld_gui.c
10:28:05  <Sacro> thats what i thought
10:28:10  <Bjarni> actually I didn't touch any of those functions
10:28:22  <Sacro> yep, trunk is borked
10:28:39  <Sacro> ill just compile the clean source
10:29:15  <Bjarni> try make clean
10:29:22  <Bjarni> because it works just fine here
10:29:33  <Sacro> well i did an svn diff in the trunk folder and it came back fine

10:31:34  <Bjarni> at one time I added an error string to a command when it failed and compiled. It failed to show up
10:31:44  <Bjarni> make clean; make made it show up
10:31:51  <Sacro> then you need an error error :p
10:32:16  <Bjarni> sometimes (thought rarely) you need to use make clean to start all over
10:32:21  <Bjarni> or strange stuff can happen
10:32:49  <Sacro> yeah, that was wierd
10:40:15  <Sacro> Bjarni: its worked now
10:41:30  <Sacro> whoo, ive got a 64*64 map, with no industries and 1 village of 26 pop
10:49:40  <Bjarni> actually try to load savegames and see if the depots displays what you expect
10:50:02  <Bjarni> I can make small maps and get the empty lists... that's not the tricky testing ;)
10:54:56  <Sacro> Your sample.cat file is corrupted or missing! :p
10:54:59  <Sacro> :o even

10:57:59  <Sacro> seems to be working fine
10:59:25  <Bjarni> hahaha. Some guy found a naked woman with google earth and wrote about it online and that started a debate if she was just sunbathing or masturbating in her backyard
10:59:45  <Bjarni> and Dutch TV picked up that story and tried to find that woman to talk to her about it

13:12:14  <ln-> a serious accident on the Emsland test track?!
13:15:31  <pumpkin> yes. a "building vehicle" was standing on the track while another regular train made a high-speed test.
13:22:01  <ln-> that's not a good thing.

13:23:25  <tbf> well, that accident shows why you shall now build unmanned trains :-/
13:23:35  <tbf> stupid technocrats
13:24:52  <tbf> some driver at least would have been able to reduce speed before the crash
13:25:16  * tbf wonders if this accident is the end of the transrapid project
13:26:06  <ln-> was it unmanned?
13:26:31  <pumpkin> i guess that train (>250 km/h ?) would not stop even if sb had breaked ... btw the train is still on the track. It is missing some parts of the first wagons.... 5 people dead so i guess it was manned.
13:26:36  <tbf> ln-: yup. passengers but no driver
13:26:59  <tbf> pumpkin: well, but a crash at 100 km/h always is better than a crash at 250
13:27:37  <pumpkin> but how many km does that monster need to get from top-speed to 100 ?
13:29:10  <Serriaromeo> in theory it could drop from 250 km/h to full stop nearly instantly, problem is, passangers and the equipment most likely will nto surive that sudden decleartion
13:32:55  <tbf> Serriaromeo: well, if you get sufficient energy into the magnetic coils
13:33:03  <tbf> see, the train has some weight
13:33:51  <Serriaromeo> install rockets to use for braking, that will help slow it down even faster
13:34:59  <pumpkin> if you justed switched off everthing and made the train "land" on the track ? You donŽt get much more friction.
13:35:00  <tbf> 3,5 km for stopping from 430 km/h accordingly to n-tv
13:35:55  <pumpkin> tbf: with or w/o people inside surviving ?

13:43:17  <pumpkin> 5.4 is all nice and cool, depending on the direction of your seat.

13:53:02  <tbf> -> guess a human driver might have reduced injury dramatically
13:54:23  <pumpkin> i think some human thinking and removing the obstacle would have been best.
13:56:03  <Born_Acorn> (14:25:15) * tbf wonders if this accident is the end of the transrapid project
13:56:09  <Born_Acorn> It was already at an end.
13:56:13  <Born_Acorn> Lack of funding.
13:56:31  <Born_Acorn> This has just probably put the nail in the coffin.
13:56:40  <tbf> Born_Acorn: yup
13:57:13  <Born_Acorn> However, there are many countries still interested in getting a Transrapid Maglev system.

15:32:41  <Gonozal_VIII> is there a nice way to get trains to use the last free platform instead of the first one?
15:33:50  <Bjarni> you mean all the platforms are free, but you want them to take the longest path to a platform?
15:34:04  <Gonozal_VIII> yep
15:34:29  <Bjarni> not possible
15:34:35  <Bjarni> and... why? :)
15:35:06  <Gonozal_VIII> doesn't make much sense in a normal station but it does, when there are parallel pbs entry lines
15:36:02  <Gonozal_VIII> if they use the first platform there, they cross all the others

15:38:02  <Gonozal_VIII> i know, but it would work just fine in that situation
15:39:12  <glx> I hope it's not a terminal station
15:39:50  <glx> I mean you are using one-way platforms
15:40:12  <Gonozal_VIII> very large and effective roro unloading station for a factory that produces something around 20k crates of goods a month
15:41:34  <Gonozal_VIII> could potentially be more effective with pbs, already tested it, but the fact that the trains then always use the first free platform makes it useless
15:44:15  <Gonozal_VIII> so no way to tell the trains to prefer certain platforms?
15:46:53  <glx> use waypoints but it's not a good solution either

20:13:11  <hylje> but the rest of us like some realism
20:13:46  <jez> if those blocks represent a large enough area, 90 degree turns are possible
20:13:57  <jez> you just need a track with a sharp curve
20:15:05  <hylje> according to some calculations, one block is around thousand kilometers?
20:17:45  <jez> squared?
20:17:56  <jez> so 100x100
20:18:18  <Eddi|zuHause3> 100 squared is 10000

21:21:10  <Bjarni> there is a radius 85 curve not far from here and the railroad got a custom built steam locomotive to handle it. It's somewhat uneven and with a hook, that can move extremely far to the sides to be able to handle that curve

23:27:41  <Eddi|zuHause3> but it was a maintenance car, with normal wheels that was standing in the way
23:28:21  <Bjarni> though they might have skipped numbers or renumbered the one they had based on changes made to it
23:28:30  <Bjarni> I think 9 sounds like a lot
23:28:47  <Eddi|zuHause3> i heard at least of a transrapid 04
23:29:13  <Bjarni> their depot looks too small to contain 9
23:29:16  <Eddi|zuHause3> but i don't know much about the development
23:29:44  <Bjarni> I looked at the line with google earth today
23:30:17  <Bjarni> though google lacks. They got images of a track under construction
23:31:02  <Eddi|zuHause3> i am sure that test track is more than 10 years old
23:31:24  <Bjarni> hmm
23:31:26  <Bjarni> weird
23:31:41  <Bjarni> a part of it was on the ground
23:31:52  <Bjarni> at least it looks like they are putting it up
23:31:59  <Eddi|zuHause3> the google earth pictures of my area are around 5 years old
23:32:05  <Bjarni> it's possible that they had taken it down for repairs
23:32:10  <Bjarni> or modification
23:32:21  <Bjarni> it's a test facility after all
23:32:30  <Eddi|zuHause3> but i am nowhere near there ;)
23:33:40  <Bjarni> they updated the images of The Netherlands not long ago to get higher resolution and somebody spotted a topless woman sunbathing at a location most likely only visible to the satelite
23:35:01  <Bjarni> Dutch TV tried to contact that woman, but they failed to talk to her
23:35:15  <Bjarni> "I know where you live" :P
23:35:33  <Bjarni> I saw you in your backyard
23:36:20  <ln-> mms://213.254.239.51/tagesschau/msmedia/2006/0923/TV-20060923-0014-5301.wm.hi.wmv
23:36:47  <Bjarni> what is mms?
23:37:01  <Bjarni> mini message service?
23:37:28  <Bjarni> like SMS, but with fewer chars?
23:37:33  <Born_Acorn> i ?
23:37:33  <Born_Acorn> (
23:37:37  <ln-> some windows media stuff
23:37:42  <Bjarni> ahh
23:37:45  <ln-> but mplayer plays it.
23:37:51  *** Ammler [~Ammler@78.119.79.83.cust.bluewin.ch] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
23:38:05  <Born_Acorn> (00:24:04) <ln-> or broken-down? <-- Wouldn't happen. They'd shut off power to the track, because they knew the maglev stopped.
23:39:11  <ln-> but they'd not shut off power if there was a service wagon on the track?
23:39:12  <Born_Acorn> But the maintenance doodad was a self-propelled vehicle, not touching the sensors, so control had no idea it was there.
23:39:45  <ln-> they definitely should have had an idea.
23:40:18  <Bjarni> they should, so they fucked up and ignored it
23:42:53  <ln-> 02:41 <+Heiki> olisikohan Zusammenstoßen ohne Räder, Abstürzen ohne Flügel
23:43:31  <Eddi|zuHause3> what does that first word mean?
23:43:54  <Eddi|zuHause3> the phrase itself sounds quite funny ;)
23:44:09  <Eddi|zuHause3> (if it weren't for the circumstances)
23:44:25  <ln-> the first word is finnish, and means something like "how about"
23:44:58  <Eddi|zuHause3> i did figure out it was finnish, since it is not german, and not english ;)
23:45:36  <ln-> "Fahren ohne Räder, fliegen ohne Flügel" is the original slogan.
23:45:45  <Bjarni> that link plays really well in Mplayer
23:45:54  <Bjarni> that is AFTER I enabled the cache :)
23:47:31  <Eddi|zuHause3> on that note... "abstürzen" would not be capitali[sz]ed
23:47:47  <Eddi|zuHause3> is it s or z?
23:48:03  <Eddi|zuHause3> i can never remember
23:48:04  <ln-> z says the dictionary
23:48:15  <Eddi|zuHause3> one is probably british and the other american english
23:48:29  <Bjarni> American is not English
23:48:53  <Eddi|zuHause3> the name is "American English"
23:49:11  <Eddi|zuHause3> and "British English"
23:49:11  <Bjarni> they corrupted the language, they corrupted the name as well
23:49:28  <Eddi|zuHause3> well, they took upon a few things from german ;)
23:49:33  <Bjarni> English is the language spoken in England. It's as simple as that
23:50:00  <Eddi|zuHause3> so what do they speak in wales, scotland and ireland?
23:50:10  <Bjarni> Scottish is not English, but Scottish
23:50:18  <Eddi|zuHause3> or in australia, india, canada, etc.
23:50:18  <ln-> irish is not english, but irish.
23:50:28  <Bjarni> they are closely related, but not the same
23:50:44  <Eddi|zuHause3> there is no language by the name "scottish"
23:50:57  <Bjarni> then what do they speak?
23:51:01  <Bjarni> Highlandish?
23:51:19  <ln-> there's a language called Wales (aka Cymraeg)
23:51:21  <Eddi|zuHause3> there used to be some gaelic/celtic dialects
23:51:26  <ln-> d'ogh, Welsh i mean
23:51:26  <Eddi|zuHause3> like Welsh
23:51:44  <Eddi|zuHause3> but nobody really speaks them
23:51:44  <Bjarni> it sounds like English, but some words are replaced with words from Scandinavia
23:52:27  <Maedhros> i think there are about half a million Welsh speakers... and it's compulsory to learn it in Welsh schools
23:52:28  <ln-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language
23:53:02  <Bjarni> there are like 400 people in Ireland speaking the original language and since they got minority protection, they got their own TV station and two radio stations
23:53:20  <ln-> and Alan Cox himself is translating Fedora Core stuff into Welsh.
23:53:35  <Bjarni> at least that's what MYOB said
23:54:12  <Bjarni> he also said that the only thing they transmit that anybody watches is some British series with their subtitles and everybody watches it and don't care for the subtitles :D
23:54:36  <Bjarni> Born_Acorn gave up on translating OpenTTD into Welsh
23:54:56  <Bjarni> the grammar and so on was too different
23:55:00  <Eddi|zuHause3> let me guess... the town names did not fit in any window ;)
23:55:07  <Bjarni> that as well
23:55:33  *** Serriaromeo [~Serriarom@mptc-69-152.mptelco.com] has joined #openttd
23:55:44  <Bjarni> but the grammar is incompatible with the OpenTTD string system
23:56:10  <Eddi|zuHause3> i don't exactly know anything about welsh grammar ;)
23:56:26  <Bjarni> so he gave up and Klingon was suggested as silly translation instead
23:56:58  <Eddi|zuHause3> my klingon is about as fluent as my welsh ;)
23:57:04  <Bjarni> Eddi|zuHause3: and you never will fully understand it unless you move to Wales and then you got 15% chance of that happening
23:57:26  <Bjarni> it's a totally different origin of the language, so all the grammar is different
23:57:55  <Bjarni> it's as different as Chinese grammar or Indonesian grammar
23:58:20  <Bjarni> there is a language in Indonesia where you make plural by saying the singular word twice
23:58:43  <Bjarni> so using that system, instead of saying trains, it would be "train train"
23:59:04  <Eddi|zuHause3> i would not try that in german ;)
23:59:12  <Eddi|zuHause3> you have too many too long words ;)
23:59:41  <Bjarni> I tried that in Danish and ended up with "jernbaneskinne jernbaneskinne" and realised that it was no good ;)
