I need some motivation to actually start working on it tbh 08:40:13 <planetmaker> it doesn't seem to me like a interesting newgrf code, just like grinding more newgrf code :( 08:41:01 <Alberth> nobody is stopping you from adding nifty newgrf features :) 08:41:36 <planetmaker> :) 08:41:52 <Alberth> perhaps we should ask zeph? 08:42:45 <Alberth> it would be great if it could be published, imho 08:43:00 <planetmaker> I planned to start looking at stations at some point. But didn't yet get around to 08:43:22 <planetmaker> Stations on grounds it could teach me something about that part of the specs I don't yet know much 08:43:42 <Alberth> sounds useful to know about 08:43:54 <planetmaker> yeah. Want to know about also for possible nml extension 08:44:09 <Alberth> my thoughts exactly :) 08:44:44 <planetmaker> with isr and chips there's good open-source reference, so... yeah. 08:45:08 <planetmaker> reference to get started beyond specs- reading only, that is 08:46:40 <planetmaker> However, I agree with you. It will be useful to prep-up mars project for a release 08:47:20 <planetmaker> I've the impression, that many large chunks are done (you did an overview recently of which graphics were not yet coded), but that there's still lots of (smaller) holes missing 08:47:41 <planetmaker> which will take a good amount of time to fill. Probably longer than the time invested so far. Pesky details 08:48:19 <Alberth> it would perhaps be a good project for a beginning coder 08:48:28 <Alberth> but we don't many of those, I think 08:51:44 <planetmaker> yes, I hoped actually that *someone* would also step up and offer help 08:52:25 <Alberth> most people seem to have forgotten about it, except for the extended mars project 08:52:37 <Alberth> but that's about 32bpp mostly, iirc 08:52:39 <planetmaker> which is strange really 08:52:58 <planetmaker> Well, tbh, I wonder that Zeph doesn't provide 32bpp and 4x sprites for Mars 08:53:14 <planetmaker> zBase shows he can. And it would be nice (IMHO) 08:54:17 <Alberth> zBase is not really nice, it looks very unfinished to me 08:54:43 <planetmaker> I do agree there 08:54:58 <planetmaker> the ground tiles need rework, all of them 08:55:09 <Alberth> the only thing going for it is that it is complete, and consistent 08:55:11 <planetmaker> the textures are not nice enough 08:55:32 <planetmaker> the houses actually start to look much nicer when on a 'decent' ground 08:56:02 <planetmaker> and worst of zBase is the unfinished GUI 08:56:05 <Alberth> I can imagine :) 08:56:06 <planetmaker> buttons missing etc 08:56:20 <planetmaker> and that it defaults to 2x GUI 08:56:40 <Alberth> yep, it shouldn't do that 08:58:40 <planetmaker> I spend days on just preparing shore and river tiles for pota-ghat. Such work can hardly be automated and it would break somewhat the quick and automatically generated sprites workflow for zBase 08:58:56 <planetmaker> though probably one could go for extensive modelling of shores alternatively in blender, too 08:59:23 <planetmaker> but the time difference between zeph's shores and mine is surely a factor of 10 if not 100 (provided you know the tools used) 08:59:48 <planetmaker> and similar additional work can be spend on (some) textures 08:59:56 <planetmaker> it would get better. Time spend would get much more 09:00:42 <Alberth> maybe pikkabird gets in this direction 09:01:20 <planetmaker> rumors say so, yes 09:01:23 <planetmaker> would be nice 09:01:40 <planetmaker> the vehicles in pineapple definitely look nicely-textured 09:01:58 <planetmaker> but he ignores the length contraction, so it looks funky at some angles :) 09:03:22 <Alberth> it's obviously a bug in openttd rather than the graphics :D 09:07:29 <planetmaker> to some extend, yes 09:10:10 <Alberth> s/d/t/ 09:12:43 <planetmaker> yup :) Common mistake I make 09:13:15 <rubidium> such fun ;) 09:13:56 <rubidium> though... somehow one can state that it isn't a bug in OpenTTD, but rather a bug in the "specification" of OpenTTD 09:15:11 <planetmaker> yeah, probably the better place to localize, but doesn't change it :) 09:21:12 <rubidium> since the specification is more or less in concrete, we can't change that and as such we can't fix the "bug" in OpenTTD. If we fix the bug in OpenTTD, it won't be a real TTD descendant 09:21:27 <rubidium> at least one needs to trash a lot of the NewGRF stuff 09:22:03 <Alberth> openttd handles it better than an old simutrans version. A horizontal wagon sprite there slowly changed position while crossing a tile. It did that for each tile, as a result all gaps continually changed length :) 09:24:25 <planetmaker> I just closed a feature request from 2007 as implemented ;) 09:24:43 <Alberth> tbh I care very little about TTD descending. Trashing much newgrf stuff would give a nice new clean sheet, but I doubt we will ever recover from such a change 09:24:53 <planetmaker> anyone knows the issue# for the length bug? 09:25:26 <planetmaker> such a change would split the community totally, yes 09:25:26 <Alberth> it didn't get closed immediately? :o 09:26:04 <planetmaker> Alberth, I think it was never implemented with knowledge of that issue: show canal water differently at sea level 09:26:19 <planetmaker> people who use the ttd base set will still not see a difference. But they could use newgrfs 09:26:50 <planetmaker> or use opengfx which has different water for sea and canal/river :) 09:28:11 <Alberth> blue vs red comes to mind :p 09:28:52 <Alberth> although green rivers are nicer in our family friendly environment :) 09:30:17 <planetmaker> speaking of mars river colours? 09:34:45 <Alberth> not in particular 09:41:05 <planetmaker> ah, well :) Murky-brown for Mars :P 09:47:54 *** yorick has joined #openttdcoop.devzone 10:16:02 <DevZone> Project opengfx-mars build #70-test: SUCCESS in 2 min 19 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/opengfx-mars/70/ 10:16:10 <DevZone> Project Townnames - German build #47-test: SUCCESS in 8 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/german-townnames/47/ 10:16:11 <DevZone> Project NML - NewGRF Meta Language build #295-push: SUCCESS in 3 min 18 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/nml/295/ 10:38:38 *** mg_ has quit IRC 10:54:07 *** frosch123 has joined #openttdcoop.devzone 10:57:51 *** mg_ has joined #openttdcoop.devzone 11:11:14 *** andythenorth has joined #openttdcoop.devzone 11:31:35 *** Supercheese has quit IRC 11:32:11 *** Supercheese has joined #openttdcoop.devzone 12:18:26 *** Alberth has left #openttdcoop.devzone 12:22:13 <DevZone> Project opengfx-mars build #71-test: SUCCESS in 2 min 7 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/opengfx-mars/71/ 12:22:21 <DevZone> Project Townnames - German build #48-test: SUCCESS in 7.4 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/german-townnames/48/ 12:22:22 <DevZone> Project NML - NewGRF Meta Language build #296-push: SUCCESS in 2 min 57 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/nml/296/ 12:32:28 <DevZone> Project Iron Horse build #803-push: SUCCESS in 1 min 24 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/iron-horse/803/ 13:13:24 <DevZone> Project road-hog build #136-push: SUCCESS in 35 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/road-hog/136/ 13:20:26 <DevZone> Project road-hog build #137-push: SUCCESS in 37 sec: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/road-hog/137/ 13:45:25 *** Alberth has joined #openttdcoop.devzone 14:09:16 <planetmaker> Alberth, with respect to py2->py3 conversion.

But they really seem to have some problem to move some stuff over to py3 14:11:56 <planetmaker> I forgot which, but they need some things supported in py3 which are not yet, though they seem to be in the pipeline for py3 14:12:14 <Alberth> sounds weird, but perhaps in the extensions somewhere 14:12:35 <Alberth> I can imagine they have a lot of code, and no doubt some of it is "weird" in some sense :) 14:12:47 <planetmaker> also text / string / bytestream /etc 14:13:24 <Alberth> a usual source of problems 14:14:17 <Alberth> I can imagine they didn't always carefully consider the different cases, and they work a lot with files 14:16:30 <planetmaker> http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SupportedPythonVersions 14:16:31 <Webster> Title: SupportedPythonVersions - Mercurial (at mercurial.selenic.com) 14:16:56 <planetmaker> but that's only very brief and not the lastest updates to it, but roughly. 14:18:27 <Alberth> sounds reasonable 14:20:58 <Alberth> http://devs.openttd.org/~alberth/all_changes.patch is the current set of changes to perform for py3 from current trunk 14:21:11 <Alberth> although there are a few false positives in there 14:26:46 <planetmaker> Actually, I do believe, if we want to go for py3 - and that's the way to go - then doing that now is a good time 14:27:37 <planetmaker> Not much going on except the occasional small maintenance. The existing version does work (for certain definitions of 'works'). And the last major release is not long past 14:35:59 <Alberth> what python2 version is minimally required? 14:37:33 <planetmaker> for nml? 14:37:57 <planetmaker> it once worked with 2.5. But I don't have a py 2.5 anymore to check, so I don't know 14:38:30 <planetmaker> I'll not be sad anymore if we say 2.6 or 2.7 14:40:53 <Alberth> iirc, they have better generator support 14:41:51 <planetmaker> than py3? 14:43:19 <Alberth> than 2.5 :) 14:43:39 <planetmaker> :) 14:45:17 <Alberth> bummer subprocess.check_output was added in 2.7 14:46:41 <planetmaker> hm. Dropping 2.6 might not yet be the best idea. Not sure. 14:52:42 <Alberth> np, I'll just use the subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0] version :) 14:53:24 <planetmaker> Bit unrelated, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/147048 <-- notes from pycon 2014 today.
