00:27:27  <MeusH> sprite drawing... 2:30 am again ;)
00:28:11  <Sacro> heh, 1:30 here, and im considering doing some sprites
00:28:26  <Bjarni> Sacro: you got one hour
00:28:32  <Sacro> Bjarni: till what?
00:28:41  <Bjarni> until it's 2:30
00:28:49  <Bjarni> damn, it's actually 2:30 here
00:28:54  <Belugas_Gone> Same here , plus a zero : 20:30h
00:28:58  <Belugas_Gone> hahaha!
00:29:00  <jez> hum
00:29:06  <Bjarni> I should be asleep
00:29:06  <jez> just watched the film 'Philadelphia'
00:29:08  <jez> pretty poignant
00:29:10  <jez> :-\
00:29:17  <Bjarni> poignant?
00:29:45  <jez> yeah
00:29:57  <Bjarni> I don't know that word :(
00:30:01  <jez> dictionary.com
00:30:13  <Bjarni> we had to watch it at school and then write an essay about it and analyse it
00:30:19  <Sacro> jez: was that the one with that actor?
00:30:29  <jez> 'that actor'? lol
00:30:34  <jez> no i dont think so
00:30:37  <Sacro> or was that 4 weddings and a funeral
00:30:45  <Bjarni> it sucked to analyse a movie like that
00:30:49  <jez> it's Tom Hanks, as a lawyer who was probably fired because he was gay and/or has AIDS
00:30:57  <Sacro> ahh yes
00:31:25  <Sacro> bedtime i reckon
00:31:30  <jez> quite qaint, there was a lot of anti-gay feeling there
00:31:32  <jez> 1993
00:31:43  <jez> in this country in 2006 it feels quaint, there is much less anti-gay feeling
00:31:44  <jez> heh

04:11:12  <Torm> random question... i've been doing a fair bit of reading into games programming, and games theory et al, and most of the guides and papers discuss the use of C++ instead of C for games programming... is there any particular reason OpenTTD is using C?
04:15:14  <wjarok> i enjoy men
04:32:45  <DaleStan> Torm: Because ludde did the original port as ASM -> C, not ASM -> C++.

05:23:20  <Tron> [03:16:58] <Serriaromeo> am i reading that correct in that if you have a norev in the title bar, you can't join a network game?
05:23:21  <Tron> [03:17:05] <glx> exact
05:23:26  <Tron> incorrect
05:23:40  <Tron> if you have norev you can join _every_ network game
05:24:38  <Serriaromeo> so i could change the code or just remove svn, so it doesnt get a rev then play with a modified client in any network game?
05:24:43  <Serriaromeo> that sounds like a bug
05:25:01  <Serriaromeo> or at least an exploitable issue
05:26:30  <Tron> it is not exploitable in any way
05:27:35  <Tron> if the integrity of a network game would depend on just that little string THAT would be a bug
05:28:47  <Tron> changing this string is really easy, you can even do it with a hex editor in the binary
05:35:49  <Serriaromeo> ok, that makes sense.

05:43:06  <Serriaromeo> i'm looking at this sign.c trying to figure out if there is a way to mass delete signs owned by a specfic company or all signs
05:49:23  <Serriaromeo> so would it be possible to have the something like:
05:50:57  <Serriaromeo> for_all_sign(si){ if owner==_current_player;marksigndirty(si);deletesign(si); }
05:51:11  <Serriaromeo> would that do what i'm hoping and just delete the signs by the current player?
06:10:52  <Serriaromeo> oh well,  gn all

08:24:57  <Steve14> is there a possibility to import the good old scenarios from TTD to OTTD ?
08:25:21  <peter1138> it should work
08:25:35  <peter1138> as long as it's from plain TTD, not patched.
08:25:41  <peter1138> (even then, it may work)
08:26:58  <Steve14> peter1138: i want to import them from the orginal DOS version ;)
08:28:40  <peter1138> put them in your scenario directory

10:16:33  <erikv> why did I ask? it's even in pkgsrc

10:18:39  <hylje> sdl is quite versatile
10:18:50  <peter1138> s/versatile/bloated/ ?
10:19:46  <hylje> just like s/feature/bug/
10:21:08  <erikv> much difference btween 0.4.8rc2 and 0.4.8?
10:21:18  <Sacro> svn diff will tell you that :p
10:22:13  <Bjarni> rc2 is a release candidate and we fixed a few bugs before releasing 0.4.8
10:22:26  <Bjarni> so don't use the release candidates now that we got an official release
10:23:20  <erikv> rc2 is in the packages-manager of netbsd as binary
10:23:50  <erikv> 0.4.8 is probably in the next branch, but then I have to compile...on a dual ppro 200 NOT
10:23:53  <Bjarni> then somebody screwed up and added it
10:24:10  <hylje> dual pentium pros? wow
10:24:15  <Bjarni> it was never meant to be added to any package systems and we never did that ourselves
10:24:58  <Sacro> hylje: its just twice as fast as very slow
10:25:25  <Bjarni> we should actually complain about this. They took an unstable source and released it as stable

10:27:10  <erikv> it's OK to add a stable version to pkgsrc?
10:27:19  <Sacro> using screen, xchat, and firefox

10:43:34  <Wolf01> tonight frost found a bug in catchement areas while looking to the code to highlight it:
10:43:37  <Wolf01> http://saddam.ath.cx/catchment.png
10:43:37  <Wolf01> http://saddam.ath.cx/catchment2.png
10:47:04  <Wolf01> i think is due to non uniform stations, the catchement area is treated like a rectangle with width and height of the entire station
10:49:30  <valhallasw> saddam?
10:49:32  <valhallasw> :O
10:49:54  <Wolf01> ah, i don't know, ask frost
10:50:00  *** DJ_Mirage [~martijn@biggetje.xs4all.nl] has joined #openttd
10:50:32  <valhallasw> how big is his spread? :P
10:51:05  <Wolf01> the airport has 8 tiles if i'm not wrong, the bus station 3 tiles
10:51:12  <Eddi|zuHause2> he said 20, but it doesn't really matter...

10:53:38  <Wolf01> he did something with a tile loop: http://saddam.ath.cx/catch.png this is with custom radius, so doesn't respect the rel radius, only shows that is possible
10:56:53  <Wolf01> but since there is that catchement bug we stop the development of the highlight patch until is fixed (too much work for 1 person, because frost has to teach me also how to do it)
10:58:20  <peter1138> that is how it works, yes
10:58:59  <peter1138> takes the rectangle and applies the largest catchment radius
10:59:37  <hylje> so if i stationwalk from one corner to another
10:59:40  <Eddi|zuHause2> that is quite exploitable, isn't it?
10:59:43  <hylje> does the station catch stuff from the whole map
11:00:35  <Maedhros> peter1138: gradual loading!
11:00:43  <hylje> peter1138! newloading!
11:00:53  <Maedhros> ...although i should probably make sure it applies to the latest trunk

11:20:58  <Wolf01> so in a station you will see a yellow catchement area?
11:21:22  <Sacro> :o
11:22:11  <Bjarni> no
11:22:28  <Bjarni> so if a tile is in the catchment area of two different stations, it can show up in yellow

16:41:23  <jez> i prefer the first.  the spaces only being between separate arguments makes it clearer to me.

16:42:22  <jez> peter1138: yeah, and that formula was fine...
16:42:36  <Eddi|zuHause> usually, i have the most inner level of operands without spaces, and higher levels with spaces
16:42:45  <jez> Eddi|zuHause: precisely

16:49:27  <jez> i dont think planes should have a range.  the game specifically avoids refuelling issues, or busses etc would all have to have a range and things would get stupid
16:50:26  <Eddi|zuHause> well, i think it would be good to have airplane ranges, but only check the distance between orders... not actual distance the planes fly
16:51:03  <Eddi|zuHause> so only very few planes can actually cross an entire 2048x2048 map
16:51:09  <peter1138> planes don't have a range

17:16:04  <XeryusTC> it's quite annoying :(
17:16:05  <glx> probably because tunnels are "magic"
17:16:18  <peter1138> should still be able to find a route

17:50:17  <jez> It doesn't seem to terminate properly.

17:54:40  <jez> only that one seems to cause problems
17:54:52  <jez> it has about a 3 minute silence at the end and a weird piano-only bit

17:55:12  <jez> i just wonder if the .gm format is quite the same as a .mid

17:55:18  <peter1138> yes
17:55:20  <peter1138> exactly

17:55:39  <peter1138> i've never noticed any issues with them
17:55:42  <jez> so unfortunately i can't tell whether it works on that
17:55:50  <jez> no issues with the MIDIs?
17:55:55  <peter1138> nope

18:00:53  <ln-> btw, does someone know where i could buy TTD?
18:01:03  <glx> ebay?
18:01:24  <ln-> let's see..
18:01:36  <jez> glx: have you got the windows original version of TTD working without the physical cd?
18:02:15  <glx> hmm yes (I don't have TTD cd)
18:03:07  <glx> anyway the original windows TTD doesn't work with XP
18:03:17  <jez> not at all?
18:03:26  <jez> what problem do you have getting it to work?
18:03:27  <glx> you need ttdpatch to fix it
18:04:16  <jez> i'd like to get the original working to see if the MIDIs work better in it
18:04:24  <jez> if they do it's probably because it uses a built-in synthesizer
18:04:35  <jez> looking at the config dialog before the game runs it looks like it might have that option
18:04:49  <glx> can't remember
18:08:11  <jez> where can i find ttdpatch for ttd windows original?  could you send it perhaps?

21:59:19  <jez> DOS?  please tell me how to get at the original DOS MIDI data
21:59:21  <glx> gm.cat is not usable
21:59:52  <Sacro> does TTDP not use gm.cat?
22:00:35  <glx> ttdp should use it as it is a patched ttd
22:01:23  <glx> but ottd can't use it (nobody found a way to use it yet)
22:01:34  <Wolf01> the gm_ttxx.gm files are midi files, you can open them with any midi program like noteworthy composer, anvil studio, van basco's karaoke player etc
22:02:56  <jez> anvil studio, isn't that free?
22:03:36  <Wolf01> the cat file seem a kind of archive, if you open it with notepad you see some .wav filenames
22:03:51  <jez> Wolf01: everything I've opened those .gm files with in Windows has given me the same incorrect notes
22:04:03  <jez> it makes me think that there's a problem with the midi files themselves
22:04:13  <glx> jez: so your midi synthesizer is wrong
22:04:42  <jez> erm
22:04:47  <jez> put it another way
22:04:52  <Sacro> mmmmmm, Zernebok Radio is amazing tonight
22:05:02  <jez> does anyone's midi synthesizer in windows play it like ttddos.mp3 ?
22:05:12  <jez> (the .gm file)
22:05:38  <Brianetta> More to the point, does anybody's DOS player play it like that?
22:05:47  <jez> if you're using DOSbox it should yes
22:05:49  <Brianetta> I remember playing TTD with an AWE32 for the first time
22:06:01  <jez> and when i used to play with a native DOS card it also played it like that
22:06:11  <Darkvater> what's the link Sacro ?
22:06:11  <Brianetta> There's no such thing as a native DOS card
22:06:28  <Sacro> http://radio.zernebok.com:8080/live.mp3
22:06:30  <Sacro> the who :D
22:06:49  <Sacro> Brianetta: i had my lovely shiny SB16
22:06:57  <jez> Brianetta: Yes there is, a soundcard that synthesizes its own FM or MIDI
22:07:04  <jez> i'm not sure which the DOS TTD outputs
22:07:05  <Brianetta> jez: Hardly native to DOS
22:07:11  <jez> native to the output
22:07:17  <jez> hardware synthesis
22:07:23  <Darkvater> Brianetta: I still have my AWE32 card..huge monster ;p
22:07:25  <Brianetta> No two FM synths I had sounded alike
22:07:39  <Brianetta> Darkvater: Yeah.  I couldn't afford one of my own
22:07:41  <jez> still, the melody should have been the same
22:07:46  <jez> the pitch of the notes shouldn't change
22:08:12  <glx> it depends on synthesizer instruments
22:09:30  <jez> hmm
22:09:47  <jez> well then i'd say the windows synthesizer is wrong, not as the original artist intended
22:09:53  <Wolf01> i tried with van basco's and with NWC, 2 different sounds, the first uses the sound drivers synthetizer, the second its own synthetizer
22:10:07  <Wolf01> both are different from the ottd sound
22:10:17  <jez> but what about the melody?
22:10:23  <Wolf01> the same
22:10:34  <jez> same as my dos recording or openttd recording?
22:10:43  <Wolf01> instruments are different but the melody is the same
22:10:46  <jez> same as my dos recording or openttd recording?
22:11:07  <jez> dos/dosbox
22:11:07  <glx> I compared your mp3 with the music I get in openttd, the melody is the same
22:11:15  <jez> i posted 2 mp3s
22:11:27  <glx> the dos one :)
22:11:44  <jez> right
22:11:49  <jez> that's the correct melody i think
22:11:54  <glx> the melody is the same
22:11:55  <jez> hmm
22:12:06  <Wolf01> so there isn't a bug, simply different programs use different synthetizers
22:12:10  <glx> but the "feeling" is different
22:12:23  <Wolf01> maybe the ottd one doesn't have some instruments and you notice a pause
22:12:31  <jez> well can't we put a software synth in openTTD that correctly synthesizes the MIDIs?
22:12:39  <jez> rather than leaving it to the crappy default in windows?
22:13:20  <glx> I think using an external midi synthesizer (like timidity++ for linux) should be possible
22:13:25  <Wolf01> i vote for mp3 music
22:13:51  <jez> Wolf01: as the music files themselves are probably copyrighted and have to be copied from the original, not likely
22:13:54  <jez> the original didn't come with mp3s
22:14:25  <Brianetta> glx: SDL in Linux *does* use Timidity
22:14:35  <jez> is there.... a player i can use in windows that will use Timidity?
22:14:38  <Wolf01> we are making new graphics, when the mp3 support will be done, we could make new musics
22:14:46  <Brianetta> Little Red Diesel sounds very different on different synths
22:14:54  <glx> Brianetta: yes but openttd uses it as external player :)
22:14:58  <Wolf01> (is hard to find people who make nice music in midi)
22:15:45  <Sacro> yes, for nice music you need mods :d
22:16:01  <jez> i'm wondering what synthesizer DOSbox uses
22:16:10  <jez> because it sounds 'correct' in DOSbox
22:16:15  <jez> perhaps it does with Timidity too
22:16:29  <Brianetta> Which OS are you running DOSbox on?
22:16:32  <jez> what it doesn't sound right in is Microsoft GS wavetable synth
22:16:37  <jez> Windows
22:16:43  <Brianetta> I only have the Linux one
22:17:24  <jez> Brianetta: wow, those do sound different
22:17:31  <jez> not like im used to
22:17:36  <jez> less presence
22:17:45  <jez> that's Timidity's rendition is it?
22:17:52  <Darkvater> timidity is so much crap
22:17:55  <Brianetta> That's a loaded question
22:17:56  <Darkvater> eats about 40% cpu
22:18:06  <jez> yeah it sounds pretty awful actually
22:18:11  <jez> DOSbox's synth
22:18:12  <Brianetta> I have about 250MB of patches loaded in Timidity
22:18:14  <jez> what is DOSbox using
22:18:15  <jez> hmm

22:31:09  <jez> heh
22:31:13  <jez> Timidity is crap
22:31:19  <jez> i thought it was a superior synthesizer
22:32:15  <ln-> what's crap about it?
22:33:08  <jez> i'm listening to some of Brianetta's MP3 extracts from it now
22:33:29  <Naksu> ln-: it's on par with the "general midi" option of OLD games
22:33:39  <jez> they sound totally different to how most SoundBlaster cards outputted it
22:33:40  <Naksu> a good softsynthethizer is like the yamaha ones
22:33:43  <Brianetta> jez: You're blaming the tool.  Blame the workman.
22:33:53  <Brianetta> I don't have a typical patchset.
22:34:02  <ln-> the goodness of Timidity entirely depends on the instrument files you use with it.
22:34:12  <jez> Brianetta: does it come with its own wavetable or do you have to use another one?
22:34:25  * Sacro uses freepats
22:34:27  <Brianetta> It uses GUS patches.
22:34:34  <Brianetta> There's a wide variety.
22:34:45  <jez> wow
22:34:52  <jez> didnt know GUS was in any way 'compatible' with MIDI
22:34:57  <Brianetta> Mine is a mish-mash of several, including wowpats - have a listen to any of the piano-only tracks, and you'll hear an amazing render.
22:35:14  <Brianetta> jez, GUS *is* MIDI
22:35:22  <Brianetta> The Ultrasound was a midi card only
22:35:24  <jez> i'm sure you will but I'm interested really in getting a rendition as close as possible to how I guess it was intended to sound
22:35:41  <jez> then why was a distinction usually drawn between GUS and general midi?
22:36:03  <Naksu> gravis
22:36:12  <Brianetta> because GUS was entirely dependant on GUS compatible patches
22:36:26  <Brianetta> There are GM tonebanks for it
22:36:31  <Naksu> the company behind the joypad i bought in the 90's and still have
22:36:39  <Naksu> and it works
22:36:45  <jez> i managed to get GUS emulation working with DOSbox
22:36:47  <jez> didn't think much of it
22:37:07  <jez> I still wanna know how DOSbox does its MPU-401 emulation
22:37:11  <jez> i think that's the output I want
22:37:31  <jez> the wiki just says "A MIDI passthrough interface is also emulated. This method of sound output will only work when used with a General Midi or MT-32 device."
22:37:34  <jez> not very informative
22:39:55  <Brianetta> DOSbox does nothing on my setup
22:39:58  <Brianetta> no MIDI at all
22:40:13  <jez> is MPU-401 emulation enabled in the conf file?
22:40:23  <Brianetta> oh wait

22:45:50  <Brianetta> MIDI is old.  So is text.  Perhaps Microsoft should give Word away.
22:45:59  <Brianetta> MIDI might be old, but it's still commercially alive.
22:46:05  <jez> Microsoft give notepad away free
22:46:09  <jez> that's kind of the equivalent to midi
22:46:11  <Brianetta> No, they do not.
22:46:15  <jez> ok.
22:46:19  <jez> VIM is free and Free.
22:46:34  <Brianetta> So is Timidity.
22:46:38  <Brianetta> Alternatives exist.
22:47:37  <jez> right
22:47:46  <MeusH> Timidity for win?

23:01:51  <Brianetta> The long gap followed by  piano tinkle
23:01:52  <jez> how come that doesn't happen in the DOS TTD?

23:06:41  <jez> yes, and it doesnt have that gap at the end of can't get there from here
23:06:41  <Brianetta> dosbox is a dos emulator.
23:06:45  <jez> it's just gone right on to the next tune
23:06:51  <Sacro> it passes the midi through to the win32 synth
23:06:54  <Brianetta> Which piece of software are you running in that emulator to play MIDI files

23:07:09  <Brianetta> Ah, TTD
23:07:14  <jez> yep

23:08:54  <jez> so the theory is, whoever wrote the TTD music was so bad at outputting general MIDI that it was all corrupted, and Chris Sawyer had to hardcode track lengths in?
23:09:02  <Brianetta> Pretty much.
23:09:06  <jez> despite MIDIs having their own natural end
23:09:20  <Brianetta> MIDIs have no natural end; they can contain jumps and loops

23:42:27  <CIA-1> Darkvater * r6786 /trunk/ (network_client.c network_server.c):
23:42:27  <CIA-1> -Codechange: To join a new company CMD_PLAYER_CTRL is executed with so far a
23:42:27  <CIA-1>  local spectator (awaiting assignment from server). Since a spectator cannot
23:42:27  <CIA-1>  execute any commands, a local player is impersonated. Move this impersonation
23:42:27  <CIA-1>  to the server side where CMD_PLAYER_CTRL is handled specially anyways.
23:43:42  <Serriaromeo> Darkvater is on a roll
23:43:51  <MeusH> yeah :)
23:44:07  <MeusH> Serriaromeo, someone made a patch regarding network window
23:44:14  <MeusH> including many filters IIRC
23:44:24  <MeusH> but I don't know what happened with that
23:44:42  *** Spoco [Spoco@dsl-083-102-036-235.lohjanpuhelin.fi] has quit []
23:45:10  <Serriaromeo> i had a patch that would massdelete signs, but i accidently reverted the changes
23:45:20  <Serriaromeo> before i made the diff
23:48:37  <CIA-1> Darkvater * r6787 /trunk/ (6 files):
23:48:37  <CIA-1> -Codechange: Use PLAYER_NEW_COMPANY as a player identifier wishing to become a
23:48:37  <CIA-1>  new player instead of a 0.
23:48:45  *** PandaMojo_ [~chatzilla@ip72-197-231-130.sd.sd.cox.net] has joined #openttd
23:49:44  <MeusH> too bad
23:49:55  <MeusH> hopefully, you'll re-write it much faster
23:53:57  *** PandaMojo [~chatzilla@ip72-197-231-130.sd.sd.cox.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
23:54:08  *** PandaMojo_ is now known as PandaMojo
23:54:54  <Serriaromeo> i hope i can figure out what i did to make it work,  i know i called the function that is alreay in place to remove signs, it basicly just mass renamed the signs owned by a given company to null, which deleted them.
