12:12:45  <Noldo> what happens at bootup?
12:12:46  <KenjiE20> cron's @reboot flag could be worth a go
12:14:54  <peter1138> i don't see messages from it at all :s
12:18:15  <peter1138> hmm, auth.log shows the successful su on startup :s
12:19:08  <KenjiE20> maybe the program needs the environ vars set?
12:19:15  <peter1138> mmm, perhaps so
12:21:26  <KenjiE20> I have an "ps -C <exec_name> 1> /dev/null || { <exec_cmd> & }" line in my cron, for checking if something's running and starting it up
12:22:02  <Rubidium> especially PATH :)
12:22:58  <KenjiE20> a line "@reboot <exec_cmd>" should be sufficient though

12:25:08  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: cargo trams are 'go'.  I'll see how far I can get with them today
12:28:05  <andythenorth> do 1/8 long articulated road vehicles now work? There used to be stern warnings about them causing fail
12:35:38  <jordi> tada!
12:35:49  <jordi> openttd is now a first class citizen in Debian. Hooray!
12:36:49  <Rubidium> yay... :)
12:37:03  <Rubidium> now it's Ubuntu slapping time!
12:37:14  <Rubidium> or more something for in 180 hours
12:37:22  <jordi> (for those wondering, all the dependencies for free graphics are now in the "free" archive, and openttd has been moved to the main Debian repository, as it no longer depends on non-free data)
12:37:47  <jordi> Rubidium: I had dinner with a Canonical staff member yesterday
12:37:52  <dih> are they suggestions or dependencies?
12:38:03  *** SpComb^_ [terom@zapotek.paivola.fi] has joined #openttd
12:38:16  <jordi> dih: grf are recommended, sound (which is unfortunately non-free) is suggested

12:39:13  <andythenorth> last time I tried it wasn't called on build
12:39:30  <jordi> ie, if anyone wants to use the original data, they still can, without having to install opengfx
12:39:57  *** SpComb^ [terom@zapotek.paivola.fi] has quit []
12:40:02  <Rubidium> jordi: there was another solution, though quite a bit more elaborate
12:40:18  <peter1138> oh no, no canadian stuff in bananas
12:40:29  <jordi> re canonical, I told him openttd should be a canidadate for inclusion so late given it's a 1.0 release, network game, and it's suddenly free
12:40:35  <jordi> Rubidium: mm?
12:40:49  * andythenorth is excited about playing a canadian game
12:40:52  <jordi> it happened for some games before, even in Debian which has very strict freeze rules
12:41:35  <Rubidium> jordi: opengfx provides openttd-graphics, openttd-original-graphics provides openttd-graphics, depend on openttd-graphics which defaults to opengfx
12:41:53  <Rubidium> as I said, quite a bit more elaborate
12:42:06  *** SpComb [terom@zapotek.paivola.fi] has joined #openttd
12:42:26  <jordi> Rubidium: but then people need to create a dummy openttd-original-graphics package
12:42:29  <jordi> using equivs or whatever
12:43:02  <jordi> but I agree that's best, I thought of doing that too (I did that for freeciv years ago)
12:43:08  <Rubidium> jordi: well, I would put openttd[dw].grf and orig_*.ob? in that openttd-original-graphics package (and put that in contrib)
12:43:47  <jordi> in non-free you mean?
12:44:05  <jordi> except you most probably can't distribute those Microprose files via ftp.d.o?
12:44:16  <Ammler> well, recommended means, it will be installed with openttd like require, but you can deinstall it again without dependency check.
12:44:28  <Ammler> conflict*
12:44:32  <jordi> what Ammler said
12:44:39  <Rubidium> jordi: no, it's only the wrapper files of OpenTTD + the extra graphics needed for OpenTTD needed to use the original graphics files
12:44:40  <jordi> package managers now instlal recommends by default
12:45:08  <jordi> Rubidium: I'll leave that up to blathijs ;)
12:45:15  <jordi> I think it's a good idea though
12:45:17  <Rubidium> i.e. you still need to copy the Microprose files from
12:45:26  <peter1138> your cd
12:45:39  <Noldo> :)
12:46:02  <jordi> am I on crack, or is my tt copy on floppy?
12:46:04  <Rubidium> oh, I would've said Chris' development system :)
12:46:07  <jordi> I might not be remembering correctly
12:46:20  <Rubidium> maybe a demo?
12:46:26  <jordi> no I had the full thing
12:46:49  <jordi> i guess I have a cd then
12:46:59  <jordi> I've used it once in 10 years or so

12:51:11  <Ammler> because they use modified original sprites?
12:51:15  <Rubidium> "These sets are no longer restricted, therefore may not work with all game releases/versions." <- right... hardcoding it to not work in specific versions made it work?

12:53:09  <planetmaker> AFAIK no.
12:53:37  <Rubidium> Yexo: they can tell you not to do change it for personal use, but they can't enforce it whatsoever

12:54:15  <Stuffi> can someone help me with some problem in saveload.cpp?
12:54:19  <Eddi|zuHause> +certain
12:54:37  <planetmaker> Stuffi, no, unless we know the problem. Meta-questions suck
12:54:52  <Rubidium> nevertheless, there's nothing new in those released things... just two year old stuff that has been removed from the forum and then rereleased as stable because no bug reports have been filed...
12:55:09  <planetmaker> hehe @ Rubidium :-) Very true
12:55:42  <Ammler> the trainset is mainly the version from our pack
12:55:57  <Rubidium> so it's basically a very big "screw you, don't whine" thread
12:56:39  *** glx [glx@2a01:e35:2f59:c7c0:4cb4:f45c:c54a:e367] has joined #openttd

12:58:01  <Rubidium> ah well, he's probably still extremely pissed that we didn't implement his requested feature straight away (after TTDP has not shown a sign of implementing it either)
12:58:43  <planetmaker> "his feature"? Station vars? Or something else?
12:59:01  <Rubidium> yeah, something stationy
12:59:37  *** lewymati [~lewymati@89.230.159.206] has joined #openttd
13:00:11  <Stuffi> ok.. :) i modify the map_type.h to get a bigger map size, if i want to save the scenario i got an error "saveload.cpp Line: 506 Expression length<1(<<28)" what  is the meaning of this error an how can i solve this problem?
13:00:18  <jordi> Rubidium: I also talked to blathijs about letting rc3 go in debian testing
13:00:32  <jordi> being the last rc, I think it's ok for it to get wider testing
13:00:43  <Rubidium> jordi: it won't make it unless it gets pushed
13:01:36  <Rubidium> given that, closing the RC bug is probably fine too. Especially because of the sounds of freezing testing in May.
13:02:52  <Rubidium> Stuffi: now enormously big did you make the map?
13:03:38  <Rubidium> Stuffi: more than 8192x8192 I reckon, right?
13:03:45  <Stuffi> yes
13:04:00  <Stuffi> the map size is 16384 * 8192
13:04:27  <Rubidium> do you expect that to be anything near playable?
13:04:41  <Stuffi> it's playable
13:04:52  <Ammler> Stuffi: maybe you should read the big map thread...
13:04:56  <Eddi|zuHause> just means you didn't hit the bugs yet
13:05:12  <Rubidium> or didn't build much infrastructure
13:05:32  <Eddi|zuHause> or didn't use ECS :)
13:06:06  <Eddi|zuHause> i never managed to fill a 2kx2k map...
13:06:34  <Eddi|zuHause> i half-filled a 2kx1k map (along the long side)
13:06:43  <Stuffi> 20000 automatic generated cities and industries bigger then 100000
13:06:44  <planetmaker> Maps become unplayable at the later stages, if they exceed 1 million tiles roughly
13:07:04  <Stuffi> with the ecs extentions
13:07:26  <Stuffi> we only test it for 2-3 hours
13:07:54  <Ammler> :-o MP mode?
13:08:01  <Stuffi> yes
13:08:06  <Eddi|zuHause> over LAN, i presume
13:08:13  <planetmaker> :-)
13:08:14  <Stuffi> yes over lan
13:09:00  <Eddi|zuHause> actually, over internet is not much more difficult, if you have enough patience for transferring the initial savegame
13:09:10  <planetmaker> Totally unrelated, but worth a note: I consider it nice, that bananas allows to update an newgrf entry with a newgrf with another GRFID :-)
13:09:28  <planetmaker> I thought I should mention that. And I mean no irony
13:10:27  <Ammler> on the other side, it does make sense to use a new entry
13:10:38  <Ammler> new file name
13:10:40  <planetmaker> hm, do you think so?
13:11:02  <Eddi|zuHause> no, i don't think so
13:11:03  <Ammler> well, it depends
13:11:06  <Yexo> say ISR 0.8 was updated to 0.9, but the new version was incompatible
13:11:18  <Yexo> then updating the old entry with a new grf with another grfid would be nice
13:11:18  <planetmaker> It's being used anyway as the version is in the filename
13:11:39  <planetmaker> Yexo, yes :-) exactly.
13:11:43  <Eddi|zuHause> the GRF-ID-Convention says the last byte should be the version number
13:11:57  <Rubidium> Stuffi: but to come to your problem... you're in bad luck. You need to rewrite quite a lot of the savegame format to support chunks bigger than 16 MB
13:12:04  <Eddi|zuHause> so naturally that should be changed when releasing an incompatible version
13:12:08  <Ammler> ah indeed
13:12:14  <Ammler> version is in filename...
13:12:24  <Ammler> nah, it isn't
13:12:27  <Rubidium> Stuffi: RIFF chunks that is
13:12:45  <Ammler> just in the tar/directory, afaik

13:13:49  <Stuffi> ok and how i can fetch than together?
13:13:57  <Ammler> planetmaker: do untar a grf
13:14:02  <planetmaker> TaI_UK_Houses.0.1.tar
13:14:02  <planetmaker> TaI_UK_Houses.0.2.tar
13:14:03  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: that happens already
13:14:11  <planetmaker> Ammler, content download doesn't untar them...
13:14:20  <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: ah, then he's basically screwed :)
13:14:27  <Ammler> but openttd does read the content in the tar
13:14:42  <Ammler> but nevermind, it works as I had in mind.
13:15:07  <Ammler> it uses the filename you used on upload.
13:15:11  <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: basically the filename is completely irrelevant
13:15:19  <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: newgrf presets?
13:15:41  <Ammler> or generally cfg...
13:16:07  <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: if it uses bananas grfs, those contain the tar name
13:17:15  <Ammler> yep, but the filename matters, afaik...
13:17:54  <Ammler> if you have something-12x.tar/my.grf in the cfg
13:18:07  <Ammler> it would also use soemthingelse.tar/my.grf
13:18:23  <planetmaker> dbg: [grf] LoadNewGRFFile: Reading NewGRF-file 'swisstownnames.1.1/swisstowns.grf'
13:18:23  <planetmaker>  <-- that's what it uses. Thus the tar name is part of the path
13:19:02  <Ammler> Hmm, I would need to test, I thought, in past, the path didn't matter...
13:19:25  <planetmaker> well... for pre-sets it might not save it. But for savegames you also know the md5, so...
13:19:38  <Ammler> oh, that is something else...
13:20:00  <planetmaker> Yes... presets might indeed take the wrong version, I guess... Dunno, haven't tried it in that respect.
13:20:03  <Ammler> this is just for "compatibilty mode" :-)
13:20:24  <planetmaker> I still think grfs need a version byte which still allows them to be considered compatible
13:20:38  <planetmaker> while the grfID change marks them as incompatible
13:20:48  <planetmaker> ah, make it a version word :-)
13:21:05  <Ammler> well, anyway it would be nice
13:21:52  <planetmaker> it would throw more responsibility at the grf authors' feet - and add a new way to screw the system - but that is now without versions done anyway
13:22:11  <planetmaker> (just thinking of ISR)

13:33:58  <andythenorth> are trailing vehicles in an articulated RV still limited to ID < 128?
13:34:00  <Rubidium> planetmaker: but don't tars have dates in them?
13:34:04  <Ammler> it isn't perfect solution, but it is better than randomly chose the grf
13:34:07  <Rubidium> Ammler: yep
13:34:31  <planetmaker> Rubidium, depends upon the tar parameters. Most probably they do unless told to set them to the tar date.
13:34:32  <Rubidium> oh shoot, that isn't "silently"
13:34:54  <planetmaker> :-)
13:35:04  <Ammler> planetmaker: again, tars don't matter
13:35:18  <planetmaker> Ammler, then please rm -rf **/*.tar ;-)
13:35:36  <Rubidium> even then, what happens if someone accidentally set the time of a newgrf in the future?
13:36:05  <planetmaker> That doesn't matter for sorting. It's just "the latest"
13:36:25  <Ammler> Rubidium: what happens, if someone accidentially set the new grf version feature a value below last release?
13:36:44  <Rubidium> anyhow, you need to get the file's date in some sort of unified/default-ish format as I doubt the values returned by Windows, Linux and tars are the same
13:37:35  <planetmaker> yeah

17:15:17  <Eddi|zuHause> you write the bits down in the order of the cargo translation table
17:15:25  <Eddi|zuHause> then you convert 4 bits to nibbles
17:15:31  <Eddi|zuHause> and then shuffle them around
17:15:47  *** JVassie [~James@nelocat2.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #openttd
17:17:11  <Eddi|zuHause> the cargo translation table is "ultra-little-endian" so if you have the bits 1000, that translates to 1, 0001 translates to 8. then you have to flip the nibbles in the byte, to get little endian
17:17:37  <OwenS> wait what?!
17:17:41  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: possibly you want to implement an escape sequence
17:17:58  <OwenS> "ultra little endian"? O_o

17:18:26  <OwenS> I get the idea and want to know whos idea it was :p

17:23:48  <jordi> yay
17:24:31  <Eddi|zuHause> OwenS: the cargo translation table is an array. and the refit mask's LSB (bit 0) refers to the entry 0 in the array
17:25:03  <OwenS> BTW, inside a command, do I need to check if the player owns the specified tile or has that already been done?
17:25:25  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, no.
17:26:06  <OwenS> OK. *adds to head of todo list*
17:26:06  <Eddi|zuHause> some commands can be done on other people's tiles (like building a road on someone else's rail)
17:26:23  <OwenS> You know... that makes sense :p
17:26:41  <OwenS> It was just that the commands I'd been looking at didn't seem to do it
17:26:48  <Eddi|zuHause> resulting is that tiles may have multiple owners
17:27:05  <Eddi|zuHause> i believe up to 3, currently
17:27:22  <Eddi|zuHause> one owns the road, one owns the tram, one owns the roadstop
17:27:43  <OwenS> ..or one owns road, one tram, one rail
17:28:04  <Eddi|zuHause> no, i think that one has some evil special cases...
17:28:10  <OwenS> Aah
17:28:22  <Eddi|zuHause> you can't have a tram without road on a level crossing

17:37:51  <planetmaker> thanks :-) And I thought I knew all those things on that page meanwhile
17:38:18  <Eddi|zuHause> OwenS: the most evil thing is probably getting a train to stop after it already reserved a path
17:38:27  <OwenS> Eddi|zuHause: Progsigs are block signals
17:38:38  <Eddi|zuHause> OwenS: that makes them almost useless
17:38:54  <Eddi|zuHause> you should seriously consider extending them to path signals
17:39:14  <OwenS> When I add routing restrictions, path signals will get those too. But you can't make a PBS signal red because they don't work like that

17:40:09  <OwenS> Adding the ability to look at an arbritrary tile requires me adding an out-of-map-array table so the object can find all signals which depend upon it. I suppose it's possible, with a little redesign of the way I was gonna store signal dependencies
17:40:42  <Eddi|zuHause> OwenS: with a path signal, you have one persistent bit free for the reverse signal, you can use that to force a signal red, and check that when trying to reserve a path through the signal
17:41:21  <OwenS> Eddi|zuHause: Hmm, that is a possibility. They may also have the normal signal state bit (I don't know), it's just that the normal signal behaviour doesn't apply to them
17:41:49  <Eddi|zuHause> OwenS: the normal state bit is for display purposes mostly
17:42:21  <OwenS> Aah, I presume with PBS it indicates that a train has reserved a route through the signal
17:42:38  <Eddi|zuHause> no, the reservation bit is somewhere else
17:43:16  <Eddi|zuHause> when a train reserves a path through a signal that concerns him, the reservation bit is set, and the signal state bit is set to green
17:43:45  <Eddi|zuHause> when a train reserves a path through another signal (i.e. a backwards one), the reservation bit is set, but the state bit is set to red
17:43:53  <Eddi|zuHause> (or ignored)
17:44:04  <OwenS> Yeah, I was refering to the displaying there
17:44:37  <OwenS> Using the direction bit is interesting - though it will probably cause lots of bits of code to assert
17:46:19  <Eddi|zuHause> i was once trying to use that as yellow state, but that didn't go anywhere...
17:46:43  <OwenS> I should perhaps change from SIGTYPE_PROGSIG t
17:46:49  <OwenS> (thanks cat...)
17:47:01  <OwenS> to using an extra bit to allow programming any signal

17:56:26  <OwenS> It only removes the structure when you remove a signal. Not when you remove a track, or blow up a tile
17:56:59  <Eddi|zuHause> but that's the same problem in your patch, finding all instances where signals are removed
17:57:52  <OwenS> True. I *think* it should be just CmdClearArea, CmdRemoveSignalHelper and CmdRemoveTrackHelper. Hopefully. And at least if I have missed anywhere, I check when saving so I know I have

19:44:04  <OwenS> Why isn't a SignalSpecial in the signal's instruction list?!
19:44:24  <OwenS> Double delete... Thats why...
19:45:01  <OwenS> This tells me that nobody tested the release I did last night. Or if they did, they didn't tell me that it crashed. And that I really didn't test said release well enough
19:45:57  <peter1138> welcome to testing
19:46:09  <peter1138> you'll rarely get bug reports
19:46:15  <planetmaker> testing is a bitch
19:46:35  <OwenS> Which is really annoying. Surely it's not difficult to say "Deleting a signal crashes the game?!

19:49:55  <planetmaker> OwenS, 4 downloads is not that big of a testing crew... especially if one assumes that not every download ends up in a compile.
19:50:18  <Starn> o.o
19:50:18  <planetmaker> I'm certainly not the only person who more often looks at a patch than compiles it.
19:50:20  <OwenS> planetmaker: True. I hadn't checked the downloads. Now I'm just depressed that nobody has played it :-( :P

19:50:44  <Rubidium> OwenS: then you shouldn't say it's not finished/useful yet :)

19:58:48  <andythenorth> hmm good test

20:56:04  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: the small tram carries 60t.  Top speed 15mph, climbs a bridge slope at 3-4mph, a bigger slope at 2-3mph
20:56:21  <andythenorth> sound ok?
20:57:31  <frosch> planetmaker: it does the same as reapplying newgrfs in the newgrf gui. reload the newgrfs from the same path without checking grfids or md5sums, and reset newgrf data (like e.g. resetengines)
20:58:30  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: what's that in real measures? :)
20:58:45  <andythenorth> what, some kind of crazy metric system?

21:01:47  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: 24km/h top speed, 4-6km/h on a bridge slope, 3-4km/h on bigger slope
21:02:11  <andythenorth> also, speed out to be part of the incentive to refit to shorter trains....
21:02:36  <andythenorth> I'll test a 9 wagon consist with this loco
21:04:23  <frosch> [22:03] <andythenorth> 16 vehicles 1/8 long looks very pretty going up and down slopes :) <- sounds like a new approach to burst the 64k vehicle limit :p

21:05:33  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch: you have a better idea to add/remove vehicles during refit?
21:05:41  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: that sounds good
21:05:48  <frosch> nope, its the only way :)
21:06:27  <frosch> that is just my method to mentally prepare for somewhen lifting that limit, as it gets encountere more often
21:06:35  <andythenorth> I was thinking of making a 'single' vehicle from 8 very thinly sliced sprites and 8 1/8 vehicles.  Follows slopes nicely :)
21:07:04  <frosch> how does it look in curves?
21:08:56  <andythenorth> frosch: rubbish :)

22:18:51  <andythenorth> looks like offset 60 http://tt-foundry.com/misc/tram_refit_4.png
22:19:09  <andythenorth> if the player can set it, surely a newgrf hook isn't a big deal?
22:20:42  <Eddi|zuHause> HAH, finally a bad commit in this bisect... i was thinking i'm going mad and imagined this bug...

22:22:48  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: you mean similar to town name lookup?
22:23:11  <andythenorth> think so.  I know I've seen this somewhere, but it seems not for vehicles...
22:23:21  <andythenorth> I guess it's a bit like industry setting station name?
22:23:29  <andythenorth> in concept, not implementation :)
22:23:34  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: problem is, the callback must be called every time the name is displayed (vehicle details, vehicle list, etc.)
22:23:40  <Eddi|zuHause> this might get slow
22:23:48  <andythenorth> hmm
22:24:02  <andythenorth> I was thinking just set it as the default when the vehicle is built?
22:24:03  <Eddi|zuHause> i don't know how it's done with industries
22:24:12  <andythenorth> if the player can rename vehicle, so can the build code...
22:24:16  <Eddi|zuHause> these names tend to not be stored
22:24:28  *** lobstar [~michielbi@86.89.201.189] has joined #openttd
22:24:28  <Eddi|zuHause> vehicle renaming works different
22:25:18  <OwenS> Unrenamed trains get composed from a translated string do they not?
22:25:45  <andythenorth> Hmm
22:25:47  <OwenS> Yeah, "STR_SV_ROAD_VEHICLE_NAME                                        :Road Vehicle {COMMA}"
22:26:10  <andythenorth> actually, if trams are not names "Road vehicle n", it starts to become inconsistent with menus etc.
22:26:31  <andythenorth> maybe changing it is a bad idea
22:27:54  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: possible could be a property, but not a callback
22:28:25  <andythenorth> yep, better idea.  I was thinking it would need a cb to set it, but it can just be a prop with a string ID ?

23:27:58  <Yexo> is there any reason to use action9 instead of action7 except skipping action F?
23:30:21  <Eddi|zuHause> i never understood the difference

23:34:41  <planetmaker> http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action7 <-- this says it matters for action3
23:35:02  <planetmaker> and action4.

23:36:08  <Yexo> planetmaker: yes, it matters, but I don't see any advantage of action9 (except for action F)
23:36:48  <Yexo> "If in doubt, use action 7 except to skip an action 6 or F.", but then later "6 (apply param)	n/a*	yes	* "yes" since 2.0.1 alpha 51 " so even skipping action6 would be ok

23:44:57  <planetmaker> I could imagine to use action9 and action7 differently, when you want to skip a lot during initialization but upon activation - as a function of available newgrf - apply certain sprite replacements
23:45:06  <planetmaker> Sounds complicated? Probably is.
23:46:14  <planetmaker> ah, exchange activation and initialization in the sentence ;-)

23:57:10  <Yexo> ah, good point
23:57:50  <Ammler> Yexo: tell me, why :-P
23:58:25  <Yexo> because that means I'll have to implement support for action9 too
23:58:42  <Ammler> maybe the difference is in patch only?
23:59:16  <Yexo> even in that case it'd be a good reason to suport action9
23:59:53  <Ammler> but what is the difference?
