Well thanks, it works really well now anyway. 11:57:25 <Elukka> aww 11:57:36 <Elukka> cs railroad tracks dont like the alpine climate 11:57:45 <Elukka> it incorrectly shows the arctic grass 11:58:10 <planetmaker> Elukka: that's an "error" which currently is very hard to fix. 11:58:30 <planetmaker> Because AFAIK rail sprites include the ground which they're built upon. 11:58:41 <Elukka> alpine set provides a grf which fixes it, but only for the default track it seems 11:58:46 <planetmaker> the more knowledgable people may correct me there. 11:59:13 <edeca> I'd often wondered that, same way that bridges have the rail or road on them too. 11:59:15 <planetmaker> Elukka: yes... but even then it looks odd for the tracks in diagonal directions. 11:59:25 <planetmaker> edeca: same there, yes... 12:00:08 <planetmaker> afaik there's petern working on un-bundling those two things. No idea about the status and its priority, though. 12:00:20 <Elukka> the diagonal seems fine except it melts the snow around it if its only partial snow 12:00:36 * edeca throws sweets at petern 12:00:49 <Rubidium> edeca: don't hurt him! 12:00:55 <planetmaker> hm... right. Might be that it looks funny for maglev sprites. I just recall a game where we have both 12:01:02 <Elukka> is there a way i could modify the cs rail set for myself, or is it a huge hassle? 12:01:30 <planetmaker> Elukka: probably the answer depends upon your knowledge of both, grf coding and grf drawing. 12:01:37 <Elukka> right 12:01:47 <Elukka> my knowledge in both is zero, so i think i'll make do with what i have 12:02:27 <planetmaker> :) You might make an effort though. Should be one of the easier grf tasks (I've never done any grf creation / modding though - so it might be a wildly inaccurate guess) 12:03:28 <Elukka> well, i dont even have any idea how to get into the grf files 12:03:32 <planetmaker> There's a bunch of knowledgable and helpful people out there which can advise you, if you have a particular problem with something along the path. 12:03:40 <planetmaker> grfcodec :) 12:03:54 <petern> hmm? 12:05:10 <Elukka> i think i'll just make do now 12:05:12 <Elukka> lazy etc 12:05:28 <Elukka> it doesnt look that bad - the grass can as well be a little less green around the tracks 12:07:36 <Elukka> a completely unrelated question... where do people get heightmaps from? 12:09:50 <Elukka> blagh, stolen trees dont work in alpine either... i like the snow but i think i'll just move back to temperate 12:10:35 *** TinoDidriksen [~projectjj@62.199.41.170] has joined #openttd 12:19:02 *** TinoDidriksen [~projectjj@62.199.41.170] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 12:21:00 *** Timitry [83dc24f1@webchat.mibbit.com] has quit [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] 12:23:16 <planetmaker> play arctic w/o alpine :) 12:33:01 *** fjb [~frank@p5485E9FE.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd 12:33:09 <fjb> Hello 12:43:31 * dihedral wants his ignore list to be synced between the various xchat clients he uses 12:44:13 *** ecke [~ecke@213.195.202.130] has joined #openttd 12:44:45 <Gekz> lol 12:44:55 <Gekz> dihedral: you dont hate me as much as you think you do 12:46:06 <dihedral> who is talking about 'hate'?

ECS I think? (destination industry would fill up sometimes and stop accepting cargo for a while) 21:21:36 <frosch123> Yexo: it is just the average train speed 21:21:44 <SmoovTruck> if I have a vehicle set to 'unload', will it wait at the station until it is fully unloaded, similarly to 21:21:49 <SmoovTruck> full load's behavior? 21:22:14 <Zuu> It will unload regardless if the cargo is accepted or not, as far as I know. 21:22:24 <worldemar> doc: 3 lane station with separate exits... or even separate lines. really, i better show you screenshot of my station with high ratings, but haven't savegame now to snap it :( 21:22:27 <SmoovTruck> hmm... 21:22:41 <Elukka> would be nice if it waited until it accepted again 21:22:54 <Elukka> the best solution though: dont try to jam everything into one factory 21:22:56 <SmoovTruck> a prototypical train would wait 21:23:25 <Zuu> You can use conditional orders to loop around the factory and visit it regulary untill the train is empty if you wish. 21:23:42 <Zuu> But probably better is to go to first factory and then if not empty go to another factory. 21:23:45 <SmoovTruck> nah, that wouldn't be prototypical 21:23:54 <SmoovTruck> that wouldn't be either 21:24:59 <Elukka> better than throwing the cargo to waste, though 21:25:10 <Yexo> frosch123: it's not average speed but max speed, so long loading times don't matter 21:25:21 <Yexo> economy.cpp line 1643 if you wonder 21:25:35 <Elukka> ...ok, why would a coal mine care how fast my trains go as long as i make timely deliveries? 21:25:57 <SmoovTruck> I can answer that. :) 21:26:09 <Elukka> you can? 21:26:10 <Zuu> Elukka: max speed being an approximation of time it takes for delivery perhaps. 21:26:34 <Elukka> isnt delivery time already watched for the actual payment? 21:26:40 <SmoovTruck> the longer the cargo is exposed to the elements, the less it is worth... clean cargo brings in more money, so the faster it can deliver, the higher grade it will be on delivery 21:27:02 <Elukka> so why not have it be dependent on actual delivery time? 21:27:07 <SmoovTruck> well, I'm a flatbed trucker now. :) 21:27:07 <doc> worldemar: thanks, yeah, I realised 3 lane was better but didn't have enough space for this specific station. 21:28:11 <SmoovTruck> and particularly at power stations, they're very dependent on timely deliveries 21:28:57 <doc> will increased ratings increase your income? 21:29:50 <SmoovTruck> might not be a bad idea, if it doesn't 21:29:50 <Rubidium> no 21:30:11 <doc> imo it should, given you're getting more of the produce to market? 21:30:11 <Rubidium> ratings will increase the amount of cargo that goes to your vehicles 21:30:17 <SmoovTruck> nothing major, but perhaps a 5-10% difference depending if the ratings are appalling or outstanding 21:30:36 <doc> ok, well, it went from 82% to 99% on one station 21:30:37 <Yexo> doc: indirectly it does, since higher rating -> more goods -> more income 21:30:43 <SmoovTruck> <Rubidium> ratings will increase the amount of cargo that goes to your vehicles <--- there is that too 21:31:01 <doc> Yexo: ok, cool, that's what I'd have expected. Ok, thanks 21:31:24 <Zuu> Yexo: Depends on if you had spend a lot to improve your service the last percent, then it might actually lower your mean income of that route. 21:31:37 <doc> now all I need to do is figure out how to shove a big station into a space where there's nowhere to fit a station 21:31:44 <doc> underground stations would be a nice idea :) 21:31:53 <Elukka> the answer is excessive terraforming 21:32:04 <Zuu> Well the income, won't be lowered but the proffit. 21:32:05 <doc> hmmm? 21:32:14 <SmoovTruck> a bi-level station like some RL passenger terminals? 21:32:26 <doc> I've got one factory creating 15,000 crates of goods a month but I can only ship out 55% :/ 21:32:39 <doc> and that's with trains sitting in the station 21:32:57 *** StarLionIsaac [~chatzilla@user-54453b5d.lns4-c11.dsl.pol.co.uk] has joined #openttd 21:33:04 <frosch123> Yexo: ok, seems like I mixed it up with payment 21:33:46 <SmoovTruck> Rubidium...
