00:58:32  <xiong> I do not see how many tons there are to a crate of Farm Supplies in FIRS. Is this documented?
01:00:09  <Eddi|zuHause> typically, 1 ton = 1 item, but in some cases the GRF can change that
01:04:42  <Eddi|zuHause> (but you can't read this, so it is useless information)

01:43:07  <noom> hullo
01:43:19  <noom> i have more questions :p
01:43:43  <noom> i'm having a lot of trouble keeping a lumber industry running
01:44:01  <noom> they yield such little wood, i'm finding most of it decays before my train can get back for another pickup
01:44:15  <noom> adding more trains doesnt help the situation as they just end up bogged down at the station
01:44:19  <Eddi|zuHause> use two trains.
01:44:24  <noom> :P
01:44:28  <noom> hasnt been helping me at all
01:44:46  <Eddi|zuHause> make sure you have _always_ a train waiting
01:44:53  <noom> hmmm
01:45:00  <Eddi|zuHause> then your rating (and with it the industry production) goes up
01:45:13  <noom> so just throw heaps of engines on the line ?
01:45:21  *** dfox [~dfox@ip-89-176-209-74.net.upcbroadband.cz] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
01:45:23  <Eddi|zuHause> use "full load" orders
01:45:26  <noom> yeah
01:45:31  <noom> my problem there was the station filled up
01:45:33  <noom> closed my main line
01:45:44  <noom> so i added feeders, that helped a bt
01:45:51  <noom> but now the feeder trains have negative income :p
01:46:00  <Eddi|zuHause> use "transfer"
01:46:18  <noom> and *pop* the forest disapeared haha
01:46:23  <noom> i couldnt see that option on trains
01:46:32  <noom> assumed it was only for boats -> stations
01:46:39  <noom> i'll have another looky
01:46:47  <Eddi|zuHause> it is available for all vehicles
01:46:54  <noom> so really i just need to increase the volume of trains, make sure there's always at least one waiting
01:47:03  <noom> and i guess i need overflow control for the rare times it backs up
01:47:03  <Eddi|zuHause> exactly
01:47:08  <noom> or maybe just more stations ?
01:47:36  <Eddi|zuHause> you can get creative with depots ;)
01:47:46  <noom> yeah i'm getting very good at it :D
01:48:07  <noom> i have an un-interupted main line now, you can run express from one end of my track to the other without stopping, its great :D
01:48:12  <noom> i used uhm...hangon
01:48:47  <noom> http://wiki.openttd.org/Image:Advanced_ro-ro_terminus.png
01:48:49  <noom> that design
01:48:54  <noom> for my busy stations
01:49:35  <noom> i dont really like tunnels though...they ruin your signal block
01:50:32  <noom> ok well thanks for your help mate
01:50:39  <noom> gonna go have another go at the lumber industry :p
01:52:00  <SmatZ> you can double tunnels
01:52:16  <noom> i'm a bit limited for space with that design i'm using though
01:52:25  <noom> i suppose i could split much earlier maybe
01:52:38  <noom> you mean to say, if the tunnels full, they just use the second one ?
01:53:05  <SmatZ> trains won't enter the red signal if they can use green one
01:53:11  <noom> yeah
01:53:24  <SmatZ> if the other path isn't much longer :)
01:53:44  <noom> i find my engines doing some really odd pathfinding lol
01:53:50  <SmatZ> :)
01:53:59  <noom> i think its more my lack of practice with signal lights than anything
01:54:08  <noom> but they do some amazing stuff to get around traffic haha
01:54:40  <noom> i was wondering, if i uploaded this scenario i'm working on somewhere, would someone look at it and tell me if i'm doing it right ? :p
01:56:34  <SmatZ> hard to say, most people are sleeping now :(
01:56:39  <noom> hee hee
01:56:44  <noom> almost midday here :p
01:56:45  <SmatZ> you can try to post it at tt-forums.net :)
01:56:47  <SmatZ> hehe :)
01:59:14  <noom> i need to learn to make those terminus-ro-ro combos
01:59:22  <noom> where you can enter or leave any direction from any platform
01:59:45  <noom> i get stuck with the mini-bridges / tunnels you have to make to link everything

07:33:27  <Terkhen> good morning
07:35:01  <xiong> Good morning! I didn't realize it was.
07:35:40  <xiong> I just had an engine break down, with 99% reliability and a full, badly needed load, immediately out of depot. :(
07:36:02  <Xaroth> sucks to be that train then :P
07:37:02  <xiong> Xaroth++
07:38:19  <xiong> I'm starting to regret about half of every decision I've made in this game. This is... complex. I've been playing extremely complex games for years (and bragging about it, too); but this may be the one that's bigger than I am. )
07:40:30  <xiong> I've been looking up other people's junctions. A full interchange, with 2 tracks entering from each of 4 directions, seems to take up about a 30-tile-square area. I get the feeling that most people don't play on small maps.
07:43:39  <xiong> Barrel platforms don't seem to represent chemicals.

13:04:08  <dih> :-(
13:04:57  * Belugas is sometimes a bad boy
13:05:05  <Belugas> but you already know that :)
13:05:24  <planetmaker> hey ho, Belugas you bad bad boy :-)
13:06:46  <Belugas> bad to the bone!

13:31:08  <Terkhen> it is even better when they state an illogical reason as for why they think it is easy to implement
13:31:49  <glx> it's always easy for non-dev
13:32:31  <norbert79> Well, I can give you one: We have the automated train importing tols busted, which allowed us on-the-fly of scanning and creating sprite images from already existing trains. Now there is a modul in htis tool, and thats one got corrupted... Sorry
13:32:37  <Terkhen> "since I'm not going to do this, it must be easy"
13:33:01  <glx> nice reason :)
13:33:27  <glx> and a very good reason for us to just discard it
13:33:37  <norbert79> Replace the word 'train' with 'truck' or anything else, works all the time :)
13:33:44  <planetmaker> that's true from a certain perspective: it's always easy (for me), if other people do the work _I_ want to see done ;-)
13:34:13  <peter1138> heh
13:34:33  <planetmaker> the one variable often overlooked is: that attitude often causes a reverse motion :-P

13:38:47  <Belugas> JAVA!!!!
13:39:13  <planetmaker> yes. And we all know that writing a newgrf with several trains is a task for one idle hour at most >:-D
13:40:24  <glx> if there are only action A it can be done in one hour
13:40:39  <planetmaker> including drawing? :-P
13:42:00  <planetmaker> hm... which actually gives me an idea for OpenGFX+Trains: activate railtype availability rail / mono / mglv via parameter...
13:42:33  <norbert79> planetmaker: Give it two for full-listing of all trains, including graphics
13:44:27  <norbert79> Everyone FYI: http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/gimp-2-8-features-preview-april-2010
13:44:40  <norbert79> I know it's a bit older, but still would be interesting for some
13:49:28  <planetmaker> hm, 16bit RAW support is interesting
13:50:22  <SmatZ> :)
13:52:46  <planetmaker> it has been so far the show-stopper for gimp becoming usable for photo editing

15:05:16  <Terkhen> hmmm... is there anyone who still uses the original map generator?
15:06:22  <Eddi|zuHause> a handful of extreme purists
15:07:25  <Terkhen> I guess they don't use the custom water level option either
15:08:34  <SmatZ> why? is the map full of water?
15:08:57  <Terkhen> worse, the map generation never ends
15:09:23  <Terkhen> I forgot that original map generation existed while coding that
15:09:27  <SmatZ> :)
15:12:28  <planetmaker> :-P
15:12:36  <planetmaker> but yes, people still use that
15:19:00  <Terkhen> the percentages don't make much sense with the original map generator... I'm thinking about just scaling between the values assigned to very low and high settings
15:20:05  <Yexo> Terkhen: non-water map borders also broke the original map generator, the problem wasn't noticed until 0.7.0-beta1 came out
15:20:10  <Yexo> so yes, some people use it, but not many
15:21:18  <Belugas> Sirkoz
15:21:30  * Belugas is bitchy
15:21:54  <Terkhen> and I only noticed this because I wanted to do a very rough map for testing ships
15:23:00  <Terkhen> hmmm... or I can just disable that value from the dropdown and set it to another thing if the map generator is set to original

18:54:13  <AveiMil> Hello, just downloaded OpenTTD and I have some questions I couldnt find answered. For one I just started a new game, selected Medium difficulty first and it said 4 competitors will be added. Started a new game, but only my company is listed under the company button.
18:54:27  <AveiMil> How do I add the AI's to the game?
18:56:56  <SmatZ> AveiMil: competitors start after a timeout
18:57:03  <SmatZ> if you want to start an AI just now,
18:57:03  <planetmaker> you need to download some AIs. Use the content download for that
18:57:12  <SmatZ> open a console by ~ and type start_ai
18:57:35  <planetmaker> or by "^" or ` or ... ;-)
18:57:39  <AveiMil> so they come along after a few years?
18:57:48  <planetmaker> usually yes. If you have AIs installed
18:57:57  <planetmaker> New installs of OpenTTD come without AIs.
18:57:59  <AveiMil> there's no default AI?
18:58:02  <planetmaker> No
18:58:15  <planetmaker> Or rather a dummy one which won't do much
18:59:25  <AveiMil> Which AI is recommended?
18:59:29  <AveiMil> There's so many.
19:00:08  <Alberth> they are all different. try a few, and keep what you like
19:00:34  <AveiMil> What do you like?
19:01:17  <Belugas> ice cream and coffee, thanks :)
19:01:49  <Alberth> SimpleAI PathZilla, and icecream and coffee
19:01:57  <Alberth> although I currently have tea
19:02:39  <Alberth> but I rarely play with AIs, so don't trust that choice too much :)
19:03:24  <Alberth> if you click them at the content download you get a short description
19:03:27  <AveiMil> hehe ok :)
19:03:53  <AveiMil> Another thing that bothered me a little. I started a new game, and customized my company info.
19:03:55  <Alberth> also, there is a NoAI forum discussing the AIs
19:04:00  <AveiMil> But when i start a new game, that's all gone agian.
19:04:17  <AveiMil> Any way to save that info?
19:04:55  <Alberth> except for a few things, anything you set from within a game is for that game only
19:05:32  <Alberth> so to survive it, you'd have to set it from the main menu. However, I don't seem to know a way to set it :(
19:05:47  <AveiMil> Bummer.
19:06:38  <AveiMil> Does the HQ serve any practical purpose?
19:06:42  <Terkhen> the only thing you can save from the company info is the manager face
19:06:58  <Terkhen> the HQ produces some passengers IIRC

19:40:03  <Eddi|zuHause> maintenance for rail was discussed, but not implemented
19:42:24  <AveiMil> Does it matter how many blue squares are "touching" a coal mine? I have two coal mines fairly close, and if I build a long train station 2 squares will touch each coal mine. Is that equally effective as having all the squares touch the coal mine? (Blue squares as in coverage zone)
19:43:02  <Eddi|zuHause> one square is enough
19:43:18  <AveiMil> Thank you

21:26:49  <AveiMil> and when the final release is out, will mine be automatically udpated or will I still be huffing and puffing in the old prototypes until I update manually?

21:42:02  <dih> hehe
21:42:19  <Rubidium> frosch123: maybe the milkshake machines of McDonalds work in september?
21:42:21  <dih> the char is noted i.e. when getting the byte or string lenght
21:42:35  <dih> and the first 'readable' char is then at position 1
21:43:00  <Ammler> is that now always the case?
21:43:03  <dih> however it seems impossible to address that very one char
21:43:21  <dih> like i said, you could replace the == 0 with == 1 ^^
21:43:36  <Ammler> yeah, that worked partially only
21:43:54  <Rubidium> just string replace it out
21:44:01  <dih> yes, because of the split
21:44:10  <dih> Rubidium, tried ^^
21:44:16  <dih> i cannot address it
21:44:44  <dih> e.g. say we read "[All] foobar: hi"
21:45:02  <Qantourisc> DANG
21:45:03  <dih> [ is found at position 1, however reading position 0 from the string return [
21:45:10  <Qantourisc> replaceing with electric trains is costly !
21:45:24  <dih> tcl really sucks in that case
21:45:30  <Rubidium> dih: put sed in between or something?
21:45:43  <dih> a system call? ... hmmm
21:45:55  <dih> or just let ap+ die and use a better language ^^
21:45:59  <dih> and a better interface
21:46:02  <Rubidium> no, a pipe
21:46:08  <Ammler> next year :-P
21:46:09  <dih> (yes, i consider java > tcl)
21:46:19  <planetmaker> dih: yes. But it's no immediate solution
21:46:48  <Ammler> Rubidium: maybe there is a better patch then reverting the whole fix?
21:46:57  <planetmaker> and you have to conceede, that the joan and grapes cannot yet completely replace ap+
21:47:05  <Rubidium> i.e. instead of starting "openttd" start "openttd | sed s/...//"
21:47:19  <dih> planetmaker, of course it cannot replace ap+ just yet

21:51:05  <dih> or instead of running the pipe from the side of ap+, wrap the call to openttd in a shell script which removes the nasty char
21:51:17  <dih> that way you will avoid tcl ever seeing that nasty char
21:51:24  <dih> and thus avoid tcl mucking up (yet again)
21:51:30  <Ammler> how do I do that?
21:51:37  <Rubidium> didn't I suggest that like 5 minutes ago?
21:51:47  <Ammler> what is ...?
21:51:59  <dih> Rubidium, if the pipe is done inside tcl, it mike break that char again
21:52:02  <Ammler> or how do I find that?
21:52:06  <dih> hence the shell script outside of tcl
21:52:17  <xiong> Yah, Ammler; no readme in the tarball.
21:52:23  <Rubidium> if it's done inside tcl it is not *between* openttd and tcl
21:52:34  <planetmaker> xiong: and google is broken and offline, too, I assume
21:52:34  <Ammler> xiong: there is a pikkawiki or something
21:53:02  <dih> Rubidium, i mean, tcl starts ./openttd, even if tcl starts ./openttd | sed ...
21:53:29  <dih> chances are that it could muck up the char, if tcl starts ./script.sh, it does not see that char
21:53:33  <AveiMil> What is the varierty distribution game option?
21:53:35  <xiong> planetmaker, I have googled hard. Ammler, there is indeed a pikkawiki; it has few pages, apparently, and although engines are discussed in detail, even those do not have lengths listed.

22:00:15  <dih> Wolf01, someone is organizing a ottd conf?
22:00:22  <Wolf01> yes
22:00:26  <dih> someone != you?

22:00:44  <dih> this is amuzing
22:00:54  <dih> amusing even
22:00:56  <xiong> I have so many pages open that Chrome is eating almost as much CPU as openttd itself.
22:01:52  <Wolf01> they want to replace the debian conference with an open source game conference
22:02:06  <Wolf01> and they seem to have chose ottd
22:02:19  <dih> HAHA
22:02:26  <planetmaker> woot?
22:02:35  <planetmaker> it's not April 1st ;-)
22:02:47  <dih> Wolf01, get the devs 'invited'
22:02:58  <dih> have one or 2 of them hold talks :-D
22:03:33  <Eddi|zuHause> pay them their trip ;)
22:03:39  <Rubidium> there wasn't even a Venice bid for DebConf11
22:03:54  <Wolf01> just to talk about management of an open source game, the relation with the community...
22:04:25  <Wolf01> ehm, local conferences, not international ones :P
22:05:15  <Eddi|zuHause> good luck finding ottd devs local to venice :p
22:05:37  <dih> Rubidium, you need a PR dev :-P

22:06:17  <frosch123> bah, hitting three keys :s
22:06:42  <dih> how do you interact with the community - may i pick the nicks to be considered ? :-P
22:07:02  <Wolf01> ...and the con will end in a mega openttd lan party, cakes will be present
22:07:03  <Rubidium> promote Wolf01 as dev for a day :)
22:07:08  <Wolf01> ahahahahaha
22:07:46  <Rubidium> maybe sponsor Belugas to come over? Probably needs two extra tickets though

22:09:41  <Rubidium> well, I've "almost" been in Venice this summer
22:10:05  <frosch123> was the french railway _that_ bad? :p
22:10:42  <Rubidium> no, the alternative was some night train to Venice IIRC
22:11:13  <Rubidium> and then I had to change *very* early (04:00-ish) in the morning, after entering the train quite late (12:00-ish)
22:11:49  <Rubidium> so, closest I can this summer was Genova
22:11:49  <avdg> not my first time to stand up that early to catch a train :)

22:15:34  <avdg> because I can :p
22:17:29  <Eddi|zuHause> you can book sleeping cabins

23:01:35  <Eddi|zuHause> it probably differs from country to country. e.g. in germany, it is known one year in advance on which platform the train will go, while in france, the platform is decided 20 minutes before the train will go [at least on big stations]
23:02:27  <Xaroth> in holland they can decide all they want, but the trains won't be there on time anyhow.
23:03:04  <glx> Eddi|zuHause: my reference was about the Luxembough-Nice train :)
23:03:24  <Eddi|zuHause> i don't know that one
23:03:48  <glx> and IIRC it was less than 2-3 months before the start date
23:04:37  <glx> I searched the schedules for Rubidium ;)
23:07:37  <glx> not easy to find as they are not TGV
23:07:50  <glx> like everything that's not TGV indeed :)
23:08:54  <Eddi|zuHause> SNCF doesn't list non-SNCF trains?
