01:12:10  <Japa> Djohaal_, We still using the same train GRF?
01:14:54  <Djohaal_> Japa: yup, I like 2cc
01:15:19  <Japa> Uh... we were using 2cc before?
01:15:23  <Djohaal_> yup
01:15:30  <Djohaal_> all those country-themed trains were 2cc
01:16:04  <Djohaal_> only change I did is bringing back the stock monotrail and maglevs because it only has those for pax, and I like hauling coal at supersonic speeds
01:16:07  <Japa> Oh, I wasn't playing for the past week
01:16:41  <Japa> You do still have the subway trains, right?
01:26:56  <Djohaal_> yup

10:43:53  <NGC3982> Is the in-house coding (except the VBA programming) of Excel based on BASIC?
10:44:36  <NGC3982> Or should i look at it as a dialect of VBA?
10:45:24  <NGC3982> Or ..Wait.
10:45:36  <NGC3982> It's just VBA?
10:46:02  <NGC3982> My introduction to coding starts flawlessly.
10:48:54  <V453000> total wtf = perfect coding
10:50:46  <NGC3982> I was under the impression that the VBA (the editor) part was not the same code the one used in normal spreadsheets
10:51:15  <V453000> nothing code related is "normal"
10:56:27  <NGC3982> V453000: Sorry?
11:06:44  <Eddi|zuHause> i've never written a line of VBA in my life...
11:07:30  <Eddi|zuHause> whenever i needed functionality in "excel" (or any spreadsheet), i turn to complex formulas, not scripts
11:07:50  <NGC3982> I guess that is what i have been doing
11:08:15  <Xaroth|Work> I play eve, most people ingame know enough about excel to help me out whenever I have an issue with it :P
11:08:51  <NGC3982> Over-the-top long ass IF function loops
11:09:29  <NGC3982> I have always had this feeling that most of my Excel formulas could be replaces with like twenty letters of code.
11:12:22  <NGC3982> How exciting life can be, when you notice all Cisco 79* IP phones come pre-coded with Space Invaders.

12:50:26  <DanMacK> Hey all
12:50:36  <LordAro> planetmaker: the LC_ALL=C doesn't hugely matter, as i'm converting it to utc (with date) next anyway
12:50:51  <LordAro> and when i tested it, LC_ALL didn't make a difference anyway
12:51:38  <DanMacK> Damn Tadeusz and his 2X sprites :P
12:51:41  <planetmaker> LordAro, it does matter a lot ;-)
12:51:50  <LordAro> how so? :L
12:51:54  <planetmaker> (it got nothing to do with time, rather with language)
12:52:00  <LordAro> ah
12:52:04  <DanMacK> Makes me want to do it for Iron Horse :P
12:52:11  <planetmaker> and you wouldn't find 'date' in languages other than... English

12:53:16  <DanMacK> hard to do with 8bpp ;)
12:53:43  *** Pecio [~fgh@agab7.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has left #openttd []
12:54:16  <planetmaker> DanMacK, but he did it in 8bpp, too, no?
12:54:28  <planetmaker> yes, it looks quite convincing to me :-)
12:54:52  <LordAro> thanks pm :)
12:55:15  <planetmaker> I'm afraid it doesn't lift the burden of drawing the 1x sprites, too. Scaling those would probably look aweful
12:55:50  <DanMacK> he did and yeah
12:56:04  <DanMacK> scaling them up needs alot of redrawing
12:56:32  <planetmaker> probably the only gain in scaling is that it gives you the general shape. But you'd then likely need to touch each pixel
12:58:48  <DanMacK> yeah
12:59:03  <DanMacK> alot of work but the results would be so worth it
12:59:49  *** Prof_Frink [~proffrink@87.114.21.53] has joined #openttd
13:03:24  <planetmaker> DanMacK, yes, it would. And... it would also "enforce" to focus on a small but beautiful set. Thus not one of the usual sets over-burdened with too many too similar vehicles :D
13:03:58  <planetmaker> distinct choices to be made :-)
13:08:28  <DanMacK> that's what we're aiming for
13:09:34  <planetmaker> yup :-)
13:10:07  <DanMacK> hard to limit things, but it's nice
13:10:40  <DanMacK> you know, 32bpp and zbase are cool, but something's to be said for 8 bit
13:11:01  <planetmaker> what? :D
13:11:28  <DanMacK> 3d stuff is cool, but pixel art is better :P
13:11:36  * Pinkbeast rather likes 8bpp
13:11:47  <DanMacK> same here
13:11:50  <oskari89> There's some magic in 8bpp

13:12:27  <Pinkbeast> Particularly done well. Look at UKRS2, where you can say "that's an A4, that's a Spam Can, that's a Big Lizzie" even though it's done in such a tiny space
13:12:35  <oskari89> ... especially when you have 3D-model to render for 8bpp...
13:12:38  *** LordAro is now known as Guest7263
13:12:38  *** Lord_Aro is now known as LordAro
13:12:45  <planetmaker> I believe that, if you want to do good 3D stuff, you need to invest your pixel art time in creating decent textures. By doing pixel art :-)
13:13:03  <DanMacK> Yeah
13:13:09  <Pinkbeast> And there's an uncanny-valley effect where real-looking locomotives suddenly flipping 45 degrees looks worse than pixel-art locos
13:13:21  <DanMacK> lol
13:13:27  <planetmaker> unless for the goldrush thing that has not been done very thoroughly in openttd terms
13:13:52  <planetmaker> also that, yes, Pinkbeast :-)

13:54:01  <Jap-mobile> Is there a mod that lets your vehicles stop at rival companies' stations?
13:54:47  <Jap-mobile> And/or use their tracks?
13:54:57  <Pinkbeast> Jap-mobile: Yes, "infrastructure sharing".
13:54:58  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but it's rather old
13:55:32  <Jap-mobile> That means fun times patching.
13:55:38  <Jap-mobile> Is it any good?
13:56:01  <Eddi|zuHause> it has problems with payment if you use cargodist/transfers
13:56:07  <Jap-mobile> Hmm...
13:56:14  <Pinkbeast> My impression is that it's only useful in games where humans are being relatively cooperative, and yes, it does fall afoul of transfer payments.
13:56:15  <Eddi|zuHause> the company that makes the final delivery gets all the money
13:56:17  <Jap-mobile> That's a no, then.
13:56:56  <Pinkbeast> Jap-mobile: Well, not totally. You could not use transfers, and just run over the other person's lines to their stations where the cargo is accepted.
13:57:00  <Stimrol> hi, I wanted to ask if there is some way to keep the companies password on MP after restart?
13:57:03  <Eddi|zuHause> that's an issue you can reproduce in trunk, if you transfer at oil refineries (or other neutral industry stations)
13:57:45  <Jap-mobile> Might be worth fiddling with the code a bit then.
13:58:02  <Pinkbeast> Jap-mobile: Transfer payments is quite a large can of worms.
13:58:30  <Eddi|zuHause> i have somewhere buried a few lines of code that replaces transfer payments with real payments, but that allows abuse with only delivering a partial route
13:58:36  <Eddi|zuHause> or even back and forth
13:58:38  <Jap-mobile> I never said I won't crash and burn.
13:58:55  <Eddi|zuHause> but a real solution is rather problematic
13:59:01  <Eddi|zuHause> there are a few forum threads about this
13:59:04  <Pinkbeast> I'm not personally convinced that tracking everywhere a cargo packet has been is prohibitively expensive, but opinions vary
13:59:40  <Eddi|zuHause> you're welcome to offer a solution
13:59:42  <Jap-mobile> That's what I was thinking.

14:01:57  <V453000> sadly a solution to all problems with infrastructure sharing is playing in one company
14:02:13  <Jap-mobile> Each transfer that happens in a rival station gives a percentage of the transfer funds?  And if you lose money at the end, you actually lose money.
14:02:15  <Jap-mobile> Because the transfer credits were paid to the station owner.

14:03:01  <Jap-mobile> Which is what I'm trying to sell to the group I play multi with.
14:04:32  <V453000> :D
14:05:00  <V453000> tell them to look at openttdcoop.org and that they will instantly reach equally good results if they play in 1 company
14:05:06  <V453000> it isnt true but it is nice to hear
14:05:37  <Jap-mobile> Hehehehe
14:05:49  <Jap-mobile> I played on one of those games.

15:20:28  <oceanhahn> Wow, there're a lot of people here. I was wondering if OpenTTD had a large multiplay base. I guess so?
15:21:08  <TWerkhoven> theres plenty servers for ppl to play on yes
15:22:24  <oceanhahn> Is there a list of them on the website? I took a look, but I may have missed it.
15:22:49  <planetmaker> check ingame the server list
15:23:07  <oceanhahn> Oh. Hm. Cool, thanks.
15:23:40  <planetmaker> you might have most success if you play the current stable release (1.3.2). Thus best update, if you don't have that
15:24:08  <planetmaker> the other servers are shown, though, but you will need the exactly matching version
15:24:52  <oceanhahn> Mm. I figured as much. Might need GRFs too.

15:25:32  <Zuu> Servers wtih a green symbol can be joined. Servers with a yellow symobol uses NewGRFs that you don't have yet. Click on the server and then on the button to search for missing content. In many cases it will find all missing content and with a click of a button you can download that from our Bananas server.
15:26:15  <LordAro> I think you'll also find that most people here don't talk much :)
15:26:21  <oceanhahn> Mm. I'd noticed that. It's really handy how you can get stuff in-game.
15:26:33  <oceanhahn> That's fairly standard form for IRC. XD
15:28:55  <oceanhahn> Are multiplay games always-on, or do they run in sessions?
15:29:03  <oceanhahn> I guess I can just look and find out for myself...
15:29:06  <TWerkhoven> depends on the server in question
15:29:16  <TWerkhoven> some auto-reset at certain year, or time of day
15:29:26  <TWerkhoven> others stay on till admin decide its time for a new map

15:36:16  <AndreasB> Umm, are there any admin scripts etc for openttd ?

15:36:40  <Zuu> yes
15:37:01  <Zuu> But you may get better answers if you specify what you are looking for
15:37:10  <AndreasB> Hmm
15:37:18  <AndreasB> No idea
15:38:03  <LordAro> planetmaker: ah. ha! :p
15:38:14  <LordAro> you do have the secure link though :p
15:38:29  <Zuu> Today the currently recommended method to use scripts to administer a server is via the admin port.
15:39:16  <Zuu> There exist at least two libraries which implement a admin port client that can be used to write a script that talk to the admin port.
15:39:28  <LordAro> actually, why is it like that? why can't i just do https://wiki.openttd.org/List_of_patches#Patch_packs ? why is the separate secure subdomain necessary?
15:39:34  <Zuu> I'm sure there exist such scripts. I do however not know if any of them are published somewhere.
15:39:35  <LordAro> (ok, it redirects, but still)
15:39:59  <Zuu> LordAro: Certificates are bought per domain.
15:40:24  <Zuu> It would require us to buy one certificate for each sub domain. AFAIK
15:41:09  <LordAro> well that sucks
15:43:09  <Zuu> There could also be other reasons. TB probably know better :-)
15:46:50  <planetmaker> hm... admin port scripts... Taede has one I wanted to put to use...

15:49:03  *** Japa [~Japa@112.79.36.240] has joined #openttd
15:53:31  <oceanhahn> I guess it varies from server to server.
15:55:39  <planetmaker> download of the map depends on server. while playing ~2...3kbit/s per client are required
15:56:52  <oceanhahn> Well yeah, but at that rate, map transfers would take quite a long time...
15:57:11  <oceanhahn> I'm wondering if that's standard or whether I'm just running really slowly for some/no reason.
15:57:24  <peter1138> The initial transfer should be much faster.
15:57:43  <oceanhahn> Hm.
15:57:56  <oceanhahn> That's no good. Let's see what else I have running...

16:05:11  <oceanhahn> I wonder if it's either.
16:05:18  <oceanhahn> My computer is fine, I know that much.
16:05:40  <peter1138> Everyone says that :D
16:05:53  <oceanhahn> Then I guess everyone has connection problems.
16:06:06  <oceanhahn> `v( o_o )v`
16:07:14  <oceanhahn> I can up- and download things from anywhere else well enough, so I guess it's just not liking the game so much.
16:08:32  <oceanhahn> I suppose it -could- be the computer, if for some reason it's taking broad exception to the way the game downloads and processes map data, and nothing else.
16:08:35  <oceanhahn> XD
16:09:08  <oceanhahn> Wouldn't be the strangest hardware issue I've ever seen a game have.

16:18:59  <oceanhahn> I guess I'll hunt around a bit.
16:19:28  <Zuu> packet loss? jitter? slow round trip time?
16:21:18  <planetmaker> openttd requires a quite stable connection. http is much more tolerant wrt flaky connections as it simply re-requests missing packets
16:22:46  <oceanhahn> I've never had any problems with any other games, and they've all been pretty demanding for connection stability.
16:23:17  <oceanhahn> I'm not sure why it's running slowly.
16:23:29  <oceanhahn> Could be a slow trip.
16:25:59  <oceanhahn> Oh. Does Pause on Join pause the game for the entire time a client is downloading a map?
16:26:40  <oceanhahn> The note in troubleshooting suggests that it might.
16:27:40  <oceanhahn> Also, I wonder if the network my building is on is having issues with port forwarding. I don't know why that would cause it to run slowly, rather than not at all, but oh well.

18:21:48  <planetmaker> one can edit the page actually... just the comment upon upload doesn't change
18:31:44  <Zuu> What is most useful GSCompany.SetBankBalance(company_id, amount) or GSCompany.ChangeBankBalance(company_id, amount)? (where the later applies a delta to the bank balance and the former take an absolute bank balance value)
18:32:07  <Zuu> (this is for GSes giving/taking money from companies)
18:32:25  <frosch123> i would expect that a delta is more usual case
18:32:31  <Zuu> The later could be split into GiveMoney + TakeMoney
18:32:41  <Zuu> That is also my guess
18:32:53  <frosch123> i think one function is enough

18:32:55  <Zuu> At least for rewarding and taking fees
18:33:13  <frosch123> unless it shall show up in different categories of the econcomy gui
18:33:27  <frosch123> hmm, or actualy... the gs could choose in which category it shall show up
18:33:33  <Zuu> That detail I didn't think of.
18:33:45  <frosch123> yeah, i guess it makes sense to let gs specify the category :)
18:34:26  <Zuu> Yes, possible better to allow the GS to set a category rather than inventing a new GS-only category.
18:35:20  <Zuu> With some restriction to only allow negative delta to be cost accounts and only positive deltas to be income accounts?
18:35:50  <frosch123> i am not sure whether categories are that strict about that
18:36:21  <frosch123> i would not restrict the sign
18:36:22  <Alberth> Zuu: you can have positive build accounts, just sell a lot of tracks
18:36:31  <Zuu> Ok
18:36:48  <Alberth> or sell trains, probably
18:36:58  <Zuu> I don't tend to look that much on the economy window.
18:37:06  <frosch123> i think there is a grf producing negative transport income
18:37:13  <Pinkbeast> If money's coming in, who cares? :-)
18:37:30  <Zuu> But I remember enough that there is two layouts for it. (not regarding the compact one)
