08:36:03  <Hirundo> good morning
08:36:57  <dihedral> hello Hirundo
08:37:23  <Hirundo> I was wondering, if it would be possible to use separate sprites for each rail tile junction instead of composing them from ballast + track bits
08:37:40  <Hirundo> It looks somewhat ugly with 32bpp/ez, see e.g. http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/3145/%C5%BD%C4%8F%C3%A1r%20nad%20S%C3%A1zavou%20Transport,%202000-04-08.png
08:38:33  <planetmaker> Hirundo: on close inspection it doesn't look differently in 8bpp either
08:39:50  <planetmaker> with separate sprites you easily have loads of new sprites then. Surly feasible. But... loads more sprites. Instead of coding simplification as now
08:40:01  <Hirundo> indeed, but i's much more visible with EZ
08:40:30  <Hirundo> Such a thing would be optional, ofc.
08:41:01  <planetmaker> I see at least 36 new sprites necessary then
08:41:13  <planetmaker> probably I missed some combinations
08:41:27  <Hirundo> There are 2**6=64 combinations of track bits
08:41:35  <planetmaker> not all need new sprites
08:41:39  <Hirundo> 1 of them is empty
08:41:43  <Hirundo> 6 are single bits
08:41:59  <planetmaker> 3 are dobule bits which are also covered
08:42:01  <Hirundo> =, || and X also don't use composing
08:42:09  <Hirundo> which leaves 54
08:42:36  <Hirundo> Better use a rendering script for that^^^
08:43:05  <planetmaker> :-)
08:43:43  <planetmaker> Hirundo: a stip further, it'll be nice to take into account the curvature wrt the preceeding tile :-)
08:43:51  <planetmaker> --> smooth curves
08:43:55  <Hirundo> Just rendering track bits combined would go a long way, as there would be no ballast on top of rails etc
08:44:23  <Hirundo> smooth curves in TTD :o
08:44:58  <planetmaker> Hirundo: if 54 further sprites are rendered, 162 to account for curvature doesn't hurt ;_)
08:45:26  <Hirundo> Do all of those numbers * 3 for mono/maglev
08:45:30  <planetmaker> it would only be optical and would not require change of vehicle follow code
08:45:32  <Hirundo> It does add up :-)
08:45:36  <planetmaker> of course it does
08:49:34  <planetmaker> Hirundo: one could otoh also think of composing the junctions. Maybe separating sleepers and tracks
08:49:47  <planetmaker> that would also help. And might mean less sprites
08:50:20  <Hirundo> you mean, separate sprites for sleepers and tracks?
08:50:37  <planetmaker> yes
08:51:15  <Hirundo> so you'd a) draw ballast, b) for t in trackbits: draw sleepers c) for t in trackbits: draw rails
08:51:46  <Hirundo> sounds doable
08:52:44  <Hirundo> I think you'd need to do some experimentation with a gfx program first, to see what works best, before spending time patching ottd and rendering dozens of sprites
08:53:02  <planetmaker> yes. Though... sprites are essential for testing :-P
08:53:38  <planetmaker> the sleepers would need some distinction on the existing trackbits. So maybe it doesn't really help...

11:55:55  <LordAro> anyone else get the impression Alberth/zephyris and Xotic750 are having a competition to keep their project at the 'top of the list'? (e.g. http://hg.openttdcoop.org/?sort=lastchange )
12:00:33  *** Xotic750 has quit IRC
12:08:30  <Alberth> alphabetic sorting won't work for me :p
12:19:00  <dihedral> i have absolutely now idea what you are talking about LordAro
12:19:01  <dihedral> :-P

12:20:15  <planetmaker> hehe. dih made it to the top ;-)
12:22:23  <dihedral> :-P
12:22:55  <dihedral> I have a question regarding the use of the bot at openttdcoop :-)
12:23:23  <dihedral> as you have a few commands available, is the privilege separation still only 'is op' and 'is not op'?
12:24:28  <planetmaker> with autpilot? yes
12:24:41  <planetmaker> with webster: not sure. Likely yes
12:24:58  <planetmaker> though webster allows for a more fine-grained control in principle
12:25:04  <planetmaker> down to per-user
12:25:07  <Rubidium> Alberth: did you see my zbasebuild patch on the tracker?
12:25:42  <dihedral> planetmaker, next to op and not op, any suggestions?
12:26:03  <planetmaker> voice
12:26:22  <dihedral> ok, i'll rephrase :D next to the irc privileges :-D
12:26:31  <planetmaker> :-)
12:27:18  <planetmaker> other than irc priviliges there might only be personalized access by user name
12:27:22  <planetmaker> or by password
12:27:37  <planetmaker> but... I haven't thought long on any possible alternatives

12:31:03  <planetmaker> aha. And now you compete, too, LordAro ;-)
12:31:23  <LordAro> i've had that sitting there for a while :L
12:31:37  <LordAro> the 'competition' reminded me :)
12:32:30  <Alberth> Rubidium: nice!   I commit everything, even with such glitches. zeph has a very regular structure in his files, so some sed magic is sufficient to fix any offset problem.
12:33:38  <Alberth> That is, feel free to commit that.

12:56:36  <Alberth> http://paste.openttdcoop.org/show/1580/     about 9%, but it may have a lot of false negatives

14:53:27  <Hirundo> profiling on a (my?) VM sucks :S
14:53:47  <Hirundo> My results sometimes differ by more than a factor 2, while nothing in the code changed
14:56:22  <Hirundo> I think both timekeeping and scheduling are too unpredictable due to the added abstraction layer

15:02:11  * Rubidium dislikes those X-es
15:03:19  <dihedral> knock on Albert's door
15:03:52  <dihedral> and Ammlers :-P
15:05:21  <Rubidium> why on Albert's door?
15:05:42  <Rubidium> it's the bot that mangles the name. No idea why, as it doesn't fool my highlight detection ;)
15:05:52  <planetmaker> Rubidium: he requested to not be highligted
15:06:03  <planetmaker> thus the bot was changed to mangle the name
15:07:09  <dihedral> Alberth claims not to have a client that could forbid Brot6 to highlight him
