08:21<Betalord>is that autoreplace button working?
08:21<+glx>in depots?
08:21<Betalord>I tried dragging a plane to it (in the hangar) to replace it as it was old, but it didn't do anything
08:21<+glx>you just need to clic on it
08:21<Betalord>so I had to sell it and buy a new one
08:22<+glx>it's a real button
08:22<@Bjarni>you press that button and then it will try to replace everything in the depot
08:22<Betalord>I clicked too, nothing happened
08:22<@Bjarni>make sure that you have enough money and all that
08:22<+glx>and it doesn't renew, but replace
08:22<@Bjarni>and that you set up replace for the engine in question
08:22<Betalord>yeah, money's no a problem. 200 million will do? ;)
08:22<Betalord>aha, how do I set up a replacement?
08:23<+glx>in vehicle list
08:23<@Bjarni>200 million is not really a useful info as it lacks the info about currency and if you set up some obscene autorenew money setting
08:23<+glx>manage list, replace
08:23<Betalord>(I thought it would just replace it with the same model, just that it's new)
08:23<Betalord>let me check
08:23<@Bjarni> <Betalord> (I thought it would just replace it with the same model, just that it's new) <-- this is what it will NOT do ;)
08:24|-|Grey [~Greyscale@host86-131-42-136.range86-131.btcentralplus.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
08:25<Betalord>ok again, where can I set up a replacement?
08:25<Betalord>can't find any button or anything anywhere
08:25<+glx>open vehicle list
08:25<Betalord>in the hanger?
08:26<+glx>no in the toolbar
08:26<Betalord>the plane button, bottom right?
08:26<Betalord>ah, moment
08:26<Betalord>ah, found it: manage list -> replace vehicles
08:26<@Bjarni>http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Autoreplace

08:27<@Bjarni>glx: you need to be quicker to point to the wiki
08:27<dihedral>Rubidium: [14:20] <dihedral> max_ships = 0 a and i was just offered a hovercraft :-)
08:27<dihedral>is that normal :-)
08:27<@Bjarni>heh
08:27<dihedral>or is that intended?
08:27<@Bjarni>a hovercraft is not a ship as it's ON the water, not IN the water :P
08:27<@Bjarni>however the game don't know that difference
08:27|-|KouDy [user@85.207.64.178] has joined #openttd
08:28<dihedral>and out of which depot does it come
08:28<+glx>dihedral: you can't buy it but it's not a problem for the game
08:28<@Bjarni>ship depot
08:28<dihedral>and how many can you build if max_ships is set to 0
08:28<@Bjarni>0
08:28<dihedral>:-)
08:28<dihedral>glx: i would not have thought it were a prob to the game
08:28<dihedral>it's just missleading
08:28<dihedral>and not very nice
08:29<+glx>well, make a patch to prevent it ;)
08:29<@Bjarni>you have an autosave from just before it happened
08:29<@Bjarni>keep it
08:29<@Bjarni>so you can test
08:29|-|Desolator [Desolator@86.126.36.149] has quit [Quit: Leaving FTW!]
08:29<@Bjarni>by keeping, I mean move it elsewhere so it's not overwritten
08:30<Betalord>Bjarni, how does this work though? Does it replace all vehicles of that type, or just too old ones, or can you even controle which individual vehicles to replace?
08:30<dihedral>i do ... http://pub.dihedral.de/openttd/FPN/autosave10.sav
08:30<@Bjarni>Betalord: all of them
08:30<+glx>but you can prevent some groups to be replaced
08:31<@Bjarni>globally next time they enter a depot (or if they are already in a depot and you click the button)
08:31<+glx>IIRC
08:31<Betalord>Bjarni, that is not very useful though
08:31<@Bjarni>o_O
08:31<Betalord>I want to replace just the ones that are too old etc.
08:31<+glx>there's autorenew for that
08:31|-|gynterk [~gynter@84-50-137-112-dsl.rkv.estpak.ee] has joined #openttd
08:31<Betalord>oh, where's that? :)
08:32<+glx>in patches option
08:32<Betalord>aha found that option. How does it work? When vehicle gets old is gets to hangar automatically and new one is bought?
08:33<+glx>http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Autorenew
08:33<Betalord>ok this is not what I'm looking for either, I don't want some old outdated models to get replaced by the same outdated models, I want to have some control over it
08:34<+glx>use autoreplace for outdated->newer
08:34<@Bjarni>updated that wiki page
08:35<@Bjarni>somebody wrote something incorrectly :(
08:35<+glx>autorenew for old->new (same type)
08:35<@Bjarni>please reload
08:35<Betalord>ok
08:36<Betalord>ok, I still don't get it - how can I make use of the "Autoreplace all aircraft in the hangar" button?
08:36<@Bjarni>say you have a plane of type A in the hangar
08:37<@Bjarni>and you want it to be type B
08:37<@Bjarni>then you set up autoreplace so A->B
08:37<Betalord>in vehicles list, you mean?
08:37<@Bjarni>and then you press the button to activate that replace rule on all aircraft in the hangar
08:37<@Bjarni><Bjarni> then you set up autoreplace so A->B <-- in the autoreplace window, which is opened from the vehicle list
08:38<Betalord>yes I've got that set up, but the button in hangar still doesn't do anything
08:38<@Bjarni>then you did something wrong :P
08:38<Betalord>should I enable "Start replacing vehicles" in that vehicle list?
08:38<@Bjarni>YES
08:38<@Bjarni>do as the wiki tell you to do
08:38<Betalord>because last time that I clicked that, it replaced ALL of myy planes of that type, which is NOT what I want
08:39<@Bjarni>autoreplace is a tool to use when you want to replace a whole lot of one type to another one
08:39<@Bjarni>it's actually not really designed to replace just a single vehicle
08:39<+glx>it's a global replacement but using groups you can prevent unwanted replacements
08:40<+glx>(nightly feature)
08:40<Betalord>ok I guess I'm doing something wrong
08:40<Betalord>my goal: to replace aircrafts in the hanger with new ones
08:40<Betalord>what I did:
08:40<Betalord>went to vehicle list, then manage list -> replace vehicles
08:41<Betalord>selected the type that I want to replace on left pane, selected type B on right pane
08:41|-|skidd13 [~skidd13@p548A47EC.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
08:41<Betalord>now 2 different scenarios:
08:41<Betalord>a) I clicked "start replacing vehicles". That replaced ALL of my planes of that type, which is not what I want at all
08:42<+glx>that is how it is supposed to work
08:42<Betalord>b) I didn't click the replace button, but I did set up type B on the right pane. I went to hangar where I had a plane of type A parked, and clicked "Autoreplace all aircraft in hangar". Nothing happened
08:42<@Bjarni>this is how it's supposed to work
08:43<Betalord>now my question is, how do I replace that plane in the hangar with new plane?*
08:43|-|Grey [~Greyscale@host86-131-42-136.range86-131.btcentralplus.com] has joined #openttd
08:43<@Bjarni>as I said: it's designed to work on a whole lot of vehicles, not just a single one
08:43<Betalord>(withouth selling it and buying a new one)
08:43<@Bjarni>you can't, unless you mess with vehicle groups
08:43<@Bjarni>selling and buying a new one is likely faster
08:43<+glx>in nightlies you can group vehicules and protect them against global replacements
08:44<Betalord>ok, then tell me what does the "Autoreplace all vehicles in hangar" button do? Beceuse it doesn't do anything in my case
08:44<+glx>autoreplace is done when vehicle enter in depot
08:44<@Bjarni>normally autoreplace trigger one vehicles once they enter a depot. If your depot is full of that type of vehicle when you start to replace, you can hit that button to replace everything inside
08:45<@Bjarni>otherwise you would have to make all of them leave and return to replace them
08:45<Betalord>hm I don't understand
08:45<@Bjarni>that's basically the only use I can find for this button, but people requested it, so I made it
08:46<Betalord>why would such a button be needed if autoreplacement is done automatically anyway?
08:46<@Bjarni>most of the time it's not needed
08:46<+glx>because autoreplacement is not done if the vehicle is already stopped in depot
08:46<@Bjarni>but imagine this
08:47<Betalord>ok anyway, my suggestion is this: make it so that upon clicking on this button all the planes parked in the hanger are replaced with new ones, according to rules set in "autoreplace list"
08:47<skidd13>My current openttd binary segfaults sometimes when autosave :(
08:47<@Bjarni>you stopped say 10 vehicles in the depot, then you set replace for them, hit the replace button and stop the replace setting in the autoreplace window
08:47<skidd13>s/when/during/
08:47<@Bjarni>skidd13: that's bad
08:47<@Bjarni>what OS?
08:47<+glx>bad chars?
08:47<skidd13>Bjarni: Debian Linux

08:48<@Bjarni>the OSX port had an autosave issue. It was due to letters like ä, but I think unicode got rid of this for good
08:49<skidd13>The problem is that the autosave works as normal quite a long time and then suddenly bang.

09:36<nStensen>i'm not sure I follow .. could you define "external"? I have 18 IPs on this server, and I only openttd to listen on one of these atm
09:39<gfldex>nStensen: do you use any virtualization software on that machine?
09:41<nStensen>yes, it's running openvz (openttd is in a vps) .. but I dont see why it wouldnt work, because it works when running on a VPS running debian
09:42<gfldex>does openvz support linux capabilities?
09:48<nStensen>think I found it ;)
09:48<nStensen> after you found what's wrong with capabilities you can add missing capability to your VE with vzctl command.
09:50<nStensen>guess I need to add "NET_BIND_SERVICE" ?
09:50<gfldex>i dont know
09:50<gfldex>but you could try http://wari.mckay.com/~rm/bindhack.c.txt as well

10:28<Ailure>I use them alot in Simcity4
10:28<Amix>:)
10:28<Ailure>but hardly in openTTD
10:28<hylje>imma gonna open a bunch of tickets for sc4 features on ottd
10:28<Ailure>lol
10:29<hylje>Ailure: ottd revolves around trains and tracks, simcity around roads and vehicles
10:29<Ailure>some dosen't translate as well to ottd
10:29<Ailure>though
10:29<Ailure>well yeah
10:29<Ailure>obviously
10:29<Amix>Ailure: nice
10:29<Ailure>roads have no traffic other than trucks and buses
10:29<Ailure>in OTTD
10:29<hylje>ottd needs private traffic
10:29<Ailure>but in Simcity4 there's all kind of automobiles
10:30<Ailure>hm
10:30<Ailure>there's a lack of cars on thoose pictures
10:30<Amix>hehe
10:30<Ailure>probably becuse I paused the game right away and then zoomed in
10:30<Amix>i know
10:30<Ailure>there's usually tons of cars there
10:30<Ailure>it's high-traffic parts of my road network :P
10:30<hylje>how does one build arbitrary bridges on sc?
10:30<Ailure>mods
10:31<Ailure>the ones on the screenshot
10:31<hylje>yeh
10:31<Ailure>was built with the help of a networkaddonmod

10:32<Ailure>hah
10:32<Ailure>...oh yeah there's a avenue with a tram track in the middle for that mod too
10:32<hylje>trams in my simcity?
10:32<hylje>what
10:32<Ailure>in this mod
10:32<Ailure>also called lightrail
10:32<Ailure>says lightrail/tram in the game :P
10:33<hylje>when i get around to my ttd clone
10:33<hylje>ill do that and go towards simcity when it comes to cities
10:33<SpComb>forget your TTD clone and svn co myottd :(
10:33<hylje>:<
10:33<SpComb>it's the new SpBot
10:34<SpComb>SpBot was out of #tycoon for a week before anyone noticed
10:34<hylje>:o
10:34<SpComb>or at least before anyone bothered to tell me
10:34<hylje>so what does myottd need
10:34<hylje>for development and features
10:34<Amix>Ailure: i am running openttd on morphos
10:34<Amix>so i dont have simcity4 here
10:34<Amix>;)
10:34<SpComb>something along the lines of a feature-set compareable to autopilot
10:35<SpComb>and then other things as needed
10:35<SpComb>e.g. I got eis_os to create an XML-based API for GRF Crawler which I plan on using for some kind of NewGRF thing
10:35<hylje>well
10:36<hylje>svn: Client error in parsing arguments

10:40<hylje>mac ports of games fail when it comes to modding

13:03<Desolator>btw what's CLI?
13:03<Ailure>command line interface
13:03<Ailure>compare it with GUI
13:03<Sacro>heh
13:03<Desolator>"or directly "make bundle_zip" (if you have zip CLI installed)"
13:03<Ailure>which is graphical user interface

15:33<huma>yes, make pretty models
15:34<Sacro>i can do em in ldraw
15:34<Sacro>just no way of rendering them into the game
15:34<Sacro>cos i dunno how to use blender, povray or lightwave
15:35<huma>eh.. 90s
15:35<huma>i want time machine
15:35<@Bjarni>yeah
15:36<@Bjarni>back then you could build your own decoder without any problems
15:36<@Bjarni>now those bastards use digital encryption so a simple setup of capacitors and resistors can't fix signal anymore
15:37<@Bjarni>I once saw schematics for a circuit that could break any encoding (at that time)
15:38<@Bjarni>it had a variable resistor and all you had to do was to turn it until it cleared up the signal
15:38<@Bjarni>and then you hit the frequency they used to scramble the signal and you could watch all the stuff you like
15:38<@Bjarni>go figure why they changed that system :P
15:38<huma>i wish i was good at this stuff
15:39<@Bjarni>why?
15:39<@Bjarni>it's a thing of the past
15:39<huma>sounds fascinating
15:39<@Bjarni>well, that decoder is

15:40<huma>Bjarni: so you never touch your soldering iron now?
15:40<@Bjarni>Eddi|zuHause2: I remember now.. he is the guy, who claimed to be in Hong Kong using an .au domain and he didn't know shit about Hong Kong
15:41<@Bjarni>and he said all sorts of other silly stuff like that
15:41<@Bjarni>didn't know shit about Hong Kong either
15:41<huma>em.. you repeat yourself :)
15:41<Eddi|zuHause2>yeah, i remembered from his line "<simon_> I am back in Hong Kong now"
15:41<@Bjarni>huma: you do and you can make stuff that works... you just can't use it to break the modern ways of encoding pay channels
15:42<huma>maybe he was using the aussie proxy? :)
15:42<@Bjarni><huma> em.. you repeat yourself :) <-- that's on purpose. I use repetition to make sure that you remember what I try to tell you

16:46<toresbe>it's a technicality referring to the separation of two houses of parliament that had been equivalent for near a century.
16:46<@Bjarni> <gfldex> oil prices are made in $ <-- I'm not talking about oil prices, though our oil reserves aren't any bad at the current prices

16:48<Eddi|zuHause2>in Hessen, they are afraid to try to remove the death penalty from the constitution
16:48<@Bjarni>it's more like if it goes bad in Germany, then Germany will have to use their financial tools to recover (the euro prohibits most of those tools, leaving in this case Germany in a poor situation). Being outside of the euro, the big countries to the south will not pull us down
16:48<toresbe>basically, the party representatives would decide on a law in one room, then cross the hallway and put the law into the Norwegian Law in a different "House" which hasn't been a different house since 1866

16:48<SquireJames>at the moment i am using stations with non-stop, but it would be easier if i could have a multi-track waypoint

16:49<ln->btw, the king of finland was the prince of hessen.

16:51<SpComb>There's Amixii in the channel
16:51<Eddi|zuHause2>that's why in the early days, it was called "King in Prussia", instead of "King of Prussia"
16:51<@Bjarni>the main problem is that EU is used for absurd ideas like making a law that prohibits selling cucumbers if they are too curved
16:51<gfldex>we dont want to be a super power. it would mean we would have to fuck up other ppl
16:51<gfldex>that is not our intent
16:52<SquireJames>How do I make one gfldex
16:52<Eddi|zuHause2>because the guy had titles in a dozen more countries
16:52<gfldex>you should have a button for creating waypoints in the track toolbar

16:53<Eddi|zuHause2>they then agglomerated more and more territories through titles
16:53<@Bjarni><toresbe> Bjarni: consumer interest laws are a Good Thing, even though their minutae are debatable. <-- didn't help us at all. In fact if leaves people in Denmark in a bit worse position if something breaks after say 8 months and you want warranty to fix it

16:54<@Bjarni> <gfldex> it seams to work out quite well Bjarni <-- not really... whenever something important comes up, then they can't agree

16:56<gfldex>toresbe: that's true but the money is leaving your country and get's exchanged into their currency and thus your whole economy get's a los
16:56<@Bjarni>btw EU is trying to force Denmark to change a law that says that only people who worked in Denmark can get a retirement paid by the government in Denmark. EU wants all citizens to be equal so all retired people can move to Denmark and get a pension from the government even if they never paid any taxes in Denmark
16:57<gfldex>Eddi, may it be that wikipedia is your start page in mozilla? :->
16:57<toresbe>gfldex: not really
16:57<huma>how about localized town styles in openttd? like italian, french, swedish, etc?
16:57<@Bjarni>naturally we object because all countries would break from such a condition and go bankrupt and then EU will fine us for not listening
16:57<toresbe>gfldex: the money we are paying them is going toward lowering property prices (because we simply cannot find construction workers enough)
16:57<+glx>huma: building style?
16:57<huma>yes
16:57<+glx>make a newgrf :)
16:58<Eddi|zuHause2>gfldex: why would i do either of those things? (wikipedia as startpage, or use mozilla)
16:58<huma>is there any?
16:58<toresbe>property prices for commerce is a major problem in Oslo, and there are tons of constructions underway.
16:58<toresbe>we have the money, but not the builders :)
16:58<gfldex>Eddi|zuHause2: to be able to post even more wikipedia links?
16:58<@Bjarni>toresbe: we have the same issue. Poland has the same issue, xxx has the same issue
16:58<Eddi|zuHause2>i posted exactly one wikipedia link today...
16:58<@Bjarni>I don't see how Poland joining EU helped preventing this case

16:59<gfldex>you are below your rate then. shame on you!
16:59<SquireJames>If you ask me, we brits have the right idea, I just wish we were less influenced by the US
16:59<toresbe>Bjarni: it helped because otherwise it would not be feasible for the Polacks to enter Norway to work.
16:59<toresbe>the leaking of money into Poland isn't a problem in the long term, as the European economies fuse ever closer.
16:59<SquireJames>but with Brown as PM now, maybe we will be, Blair was so far up GW Bush's backside you couldn't tell where one began and the other ended
17:00<huma>glx: found :)
17:01<@Bjarni><toresbe> the leaking of money into Poland isn't a problem in the long term, as the European economies fuse ever closer. <-- this is never going to work. ALL financial experts claims that EU is not built on solid financial ground. In fact it's bound to fail, but the politicians moves on anyway and for some reason the media doesn't really investigate why the financial experts warns about this
17:02<toresbe>"ALL financial experts" is so biased it barely warrants a response.
17:03<gfldex>if you got a lot forein workes they are going to exchange into their currency you create (artificial) need for your own currency. that means relative price to other currency goes up. that means it gets more expensive to buy foreign currency what you need to import stuff. ATM that's not a problem because you can keep it in balance with selling oil. But that will change.
17:03<@Bjarni> <toresbe> "ALL financial experts" is so biased it barely warrants a response. <-- well, prove me wrong then :)
17:03<toresbe>No. Do you really think that the EU would even begin to happen if as you say, everyone with a clue about finance opposed it?
17:03<@Bjarni>and I mean a real expert, not just a self proclaimed expert
17:04<gfldex>Bjarni: they dont do worry much because it works for the US since decades
17:04<toresbe>In fact, when it comes to political parties, the more traditionally financially oriented the parties become, the stronger they favour EU membership, in most cases.
17:04<toresbe>Of course, in Norway it's a no-brainer: Joining EU would be truly disasterous.
17:04<toresbe>for the economy, and for the environment.
17:05<huma>politics is boring..
17:05[~]huma yawns
17:05<toresbe>It is in the EUs short-term interest that oil and gas prices be low. The interests of Norway, and the environment, are the opposite.
17:05<@Bjarni>the US has problems as well due to this. They are transmitting a whole lot of money between the states in order not to bankrupt states and close most jobs in them
17:05<toresbe>huma: I find it to be truly fascinating.
17:05<huma>someone has to :)
17:05<toresbe>Bjarni: not so. The US system is idiotic for entirely different reasons.
17:05<@Bjarni>also the US has a fundamental difference. It allows bigger difference between the states than EU will allow between the countries
17:06<gfldex>the US is in trouble because their currency is not covered anymore. It wasn't with gold and it isnt with economics growth
17:06<gfldex>but they dont care because so many other contries have so much $s that they simply dont know where to put them
17:06<gfldex>so they end up in the US
17:07<gfldex>in the end they will let their currency crash and make anybody else a long nose
17:07<@Bjarni><huma> politics is boring.. <-- idiot :P

17:10<@Bjarni>I wonder if the book got it wrong

17:27<@Bjarni>they really rebooted the train o_O
17:28<gfldex>in some regional trains in germany you can see voltage displays of the train as a passanger

17:33<gfldex>that one is still going with 2 steam trains in the middle of germany
17:33<@Bjarni>the issue is not to produce the electricity. It was that when DSB moved from steam to diesel (starting in 1954) they had a whole lot of cars that had steam heating only
17:33<Eddi|zuHause2>that's narrow gauge :p

17:35<gfldex>lovely place but the steam engine is not as funny as one may think
17:35<Eddi|zuHause2>but it is a while ago since i actually used it
17:35<gfldex>you are breathing smoke when it's moving slowly
17:36<Eddi|zuHause2>the last time i can remember was around 1989-1990
17:36<@Bjarni>whenever they make wheelslip, they add sand to stop the wheels from spinning really fast. The wheels are then slowed to the correct RPM, but since the pistons are at high speed, they are likely to crack and they produce a breakdown :s
17:36<Eddi|zuHause2>when they opened the Brocken for the public
17:36<@Bjarni>I don't know why they don't just reduce steam until it catches the rails again (like the rest of us)
17:36<Eddi|zuHause2>it didn't drive up there yet, so we walked from schierke to the peak
17:37<@Bjarni>it really is the only way to stop wheelslip on a steam locomotive
17:37<gfldex>that's a good walk
17:37<Eddi|zuHause2>yes, it is ;)
17:38<Eddi|zuHause2>it was winter, but not a hard one
17:38<gfldex>i grow up in Leipzig, so they send me to that place to change the color of my lungs from black to something more healthy
17:38<@Bjarni>hehe... I think this is an interesting channel. One guy posts an image and the two other active guys in the channel can tell where it's from :D
17:38<Eddi|zuHause2>not like the 1988/89 winter, which we spent in neuhaus
17:39<Eddi|zuHause2>with like 2m snow in one night
17:39<@Bjarni>gfldex: they sent you to the steam locomotives to ensure that your lungs didn't turn black?
17:39<gfldex>that's how polluted my home town was

17:40<gfldex>if you dig in your nose what color do you get out of it?
17:40<@Bjarni>that depends
17:40<Eddi|zuHause2>Bjarni: it has way improved since they closed down all the industries
17:40<@Bjarni>if I have been on the railroad, then black
17:40<@Bjarni>well, sometimes
17:40<Eddi|zuHause2>i mean literally _all_ the industries
17:40<@Bjarni>specially if I have been on top of the enigne
17:40<gfldex>my bogeys where all black in that time
17:41<gfldex>because anybody was heating with coal
17:41<gfldex>that crappy stuff we digged out of the ground nearby
17:41<@Bjarni>that brown coal from Eastern Germany?
17:41<@Bjarni>or black coal from Poland/Ruhr?
17:41<gfldex>yes
17:41<huma>eh.. still the same
17:41<@Bjarni>first or latter?
17:42<Eddi|zuHause2>Bjarni: leipzig is in east germany, and when he says "nearby"...
17:42<gfldex>the brown one with that nice level of sulfur in it
17:42<@Bjarni>ahh
17:42<Eddi|zuHause2>actually, leipzig is not far away from here...
17:42<@Bjarni>sulfur isn't bad when it comes to creating black smoke... all the other impurities in the coal are though
17:42<Vikthor>Eddi|zuHause2: You say it was bad in Leipzig, but it was even worse on the other side of Erzgebirge
17:43<gfldex>in Leipig it depends where the wind came from
17:43<gfldex>so we had good and bad days. other places where not so lucky
17:43<Eddi|zuHause2>Vikthor: that may be, but tschechia has much lower unemployment rates than east germany
17:43<@Bjarni>we could stop a whole lot of pollution if Germany would stop using their poor coal in the powerplants
17:44<@Bjarni>switching to coal from Ruhr would actually improve conditions
17:44<gfldex>we dont use it anymore
17:44<@Bjarni>and power output
17:44<@Bjarni>you finally got rid of it?
17:44<gfldex>the mines are nearly empty anyway

17:48<gfldex>the parts of Leipzig that are close to that 3 sees even got problems now
17:48<gfldex>some basements are getting quite wet
17:48<Eddi|zuHause2>of course there come along greedy guys who buy cheap land, not considering the reasons why it's so cheap
17:49<@Bjarni>DSB found a nice empty spot near the tracks and built a depot to prepare the EMUs for service... then they figured out why it was vacant. They had problems making a stable foundation (really soft) and they have to use a pump at all times or they will have 50 cm of water on the floor
17:49<@Bjarni>there are certain places where it's just not meant to build anything
17:49<gfldex>like the subway in newyork? :)

17:50<Eddi|zuHause2>new york is funny, after 50cm of digging, all you find is rock :p
17:50<@Bjarni>during the war Denmark did some strip mining for brown coal as well. Now the area is sealed off because it's dangerous and it's full of lakes
17:51<gfldex>luckyly we dont got that problem in germany

17:55<@Bjarni>well, I wouldn't go swimming in any of the lakes I saw. The reason is that the ground in the area was basically sand, so all the shorelines were really unstable

18:04<huma>TrueBrain: yes please :)
18:05<@Bjarni>TrueBrain: like an air condition controller
18:05<@Bjarni>that would be cool
18:05<gfldex>if they sell them by themself they need the infrastructure to run a registry
18:05<TrueBrain>Bjarni: I already made a server for EaB in Stackless Python
18:05<Eddi|zuHause2>Bjarni: exactly, and make a gazillion of extra money
18:05<TrueBrain>it was really cool
18:05<Eddi|zuHause2>for very little work
18:05<gfldex>that way they simply rent the right to have a registry out
18:05<Jaywizzle>yup did so i have plenty of trains but i want the new engines i dont see them aval on my list at depots
18:05<huma>for what?
18:05<huma>eab?
18:05<TrueBrain>Earth and Beyond
18:05<Eddi|zuHause2>Jaywizzle: then build a depot of the proper railtype
18:05<TrueBrain>a cool game that closed down some years ago
18:06<Jaywizzle>i see them as being aval and they should be bwecause of the year, but when i click a depot and build a new train all i have aval is two engines

18:06<Jaywizzle>mmm kay
18:06<huma>why stackless?
18:06<@Bjarni>huh
18:06[~]Bjarni was just attacked by a bug
18:07<@Bjarni>it flew right into my face
18:07<TrueBrain>huma: proof of concept more than anything else, but also because it is the right language for that job
18:07<TrueBrain>as example: EVE: Online switched to it too, for a good reason
18:07<Eddi|zuHause2>Bjarni: here you have sex tv :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkPPCMW0Fg
18:07<@Bjarni>I guess it's payback for all the bug hunting and bug killing I have done
18:07<huma>python is sweet
18:07<gfldex>you need stackless python because of the stack limitations on windows
18:07<gfldex>that's why eve is using it too
18:07<TrueBrain>gfldex: euh, like: wrong!
18:07<TrueBrain>stack limitations is not related to Windows, to start
18:08<TrueBrain>second, it is a 'cheap' way for threading, the reason EVE uses it
18:08<huma>haha! stacks flame war! :)
18:08<gfldex>true but they are more ugly on windows then anywhere else
18:08<TrueBrain>gfldex: it is not related to Windows
18:08<@Bjarni>Eddi|zuHause2: hehe
18:08<TrueBrain>C uses stacks
18:08<TrueBrain>that is why in C, and all languages based on C, you have a stack limit
18:08<TrueBrain>Python is made in C
18:08<gfldex>i know, you got problems with the stack anywhere if you have lots and lots of small functions that call each other
18:08<TrueBrain>2 functions
18:09<TrueBrain>and we call it recursion
18:09<gfldex>C got (at least in theory) an endless stack
18:09<TrueBrain>no, it does not
18:09<gfldex>the heap starts to grow from one end and the stack at the other
18:09<TrueBrain>in theory even, the stack is the size of the memory
18:09<@Bjarni>I found another youtube video today. Some candid camera in Japanese trains and they filmed the reaction when famous people started telling stories (or something) though the speaker system

18:10<Eddi|zuHause2>we tried that with bash links previously, it did not exactly work out :p
18:10<@Bjarni>TrueBrain: why?
18:10<huma>Bjarni: hint: use tinyurl :)
18:10<TrueBrain>Bjarni: for the same reason as bash-links == ban
18:11<TrueBrain>gfldex: anyway, the stackless part of stackless python isn't real, and not the main advantage
18:11<@Bjarni>no, that's the result
18:11<TrueBrain>the microthreads are
18:11<@Bjarni>I asked for the reason
18:11<huma>TrueBrain doesn't have flash to watch videos :)
18:11<TrueBrain>and I refered you to the reason which states that bash links result in a ban
18:11<TrueBrain>huma: ssstttt
18:11<huma>:)
18:11<@Bjarni>:P
18:11<@Bjarni>TrueBrain: the link was bad anyway
18:12<gfldex>CCP seam not to be that happy then them tho
18:12<TrueBrain>gfldex: in fact, there is a microthread lib for C, but it is rather ugly :s
18:12<@Bjarni>it's some gay looking guy in leather talking German
18:12<@Bjarni>didn't bother to finish watching it
18:12<huma>what's cool is when flash has a link to skip it inside the flash :)
18:12<Eddi|zuHause2>it's actually a german comedy show
18:12<TrueBrain>downside of Python, it is rather memory inefficient for jobs like MMO servers
18:12<huma>or even better - has a link to download flash :)
18:12<Eddi|zuHause2>and moreover, a crossover between two comedy shows :p
18:13<TrueBrain>and after working for 2 weeks in python now, I have to say: I don't like Python-syntax
18:13<Eddi|zuHause2>although it is pretty old
18:13<huma>2 years? as the main language?
18:13<gfldex>i read the syntax of python and i decided to stick with perl when it comes to scripting
18:13<TrueBrain>python is good for scripting
18:14<TrueBrain>really good
18:14<gfldex>javascript (1.7 and later) is a true beauty tho
18:14<TrueBrain>not so 'hackish' as Perl
18:14<gfldex>rather slow sadly
18:14<TrueBrain>but... the mistakes I make 2 weeks ago, I still do
18:14<TrueBrain>which annoys me
18:14<gfldex>i like the hackish part in perl :)
18:14<TrueBrain>as it means that the language sucks
18:14<TrueBrain>$@, $_, $^
18:14<TrueBrain>I hate it
18:14<TrueBrain>@var, $var
18:14<TrueBrain>grr
18:15<TrueBrain>but then again, implicit decleration sucks too
18:15<TrueBrain>in Python: buf = len("abc")
18:15<huma>my $TrueBrain :)
18:15<TrueBrain>len = 2
18:15<TrueBrain>buf = len("abc")
18:15<TrueBrain>3rd line fails
18:15<gfldex>$_ together with destructuring arrays is quite nice
18:15<TrueBrain>not the 2nd, the 3rd
18:15<gfldex>and you solve the problem with variable parameter count in function quite elegant
18:15<gfldex>because it's the default :)
18:16<TrueBrain>my biggest problem with Python are the error messages
18:16<TrueBrain>gcc is unclear in its messages
18:16<TrueBrain>but Python tops it
18:16<gfldex>and they can be like a mile long :)
18:16<TrueBrain>that too
18:16<TrueBrain>bah, it is tempting to start playing EVE: Online
18:16<TrueBrain>lucky for me cedega doesn't work here at the moment :p
18:16<Eddi|zuHause2>Bjarni: the most funny part is, the original "sex tv" sketches were part of the "Wochenschau", which was broadcast on Sat.1, but the guy walking in greets the "Pro 7 viewers" (knowing that he would later broadcast this sketch on his show on the other channel)
18:17<gfldex>i stopped playing eve. did it for more then 4 years
18:17<TrueBrain>last time I played it (2 years ago or so), I found it boring
18:17<@Bjarni>Eddi|zuHause2: heh
18:17<gfldex>then we moved shit worth 35B from lower tash to deep 0.0 and nobody really nobody could cause us a problem
18:17<TrueBrain>the reason I started to work on the EaB server :p
18:17<gfldex>and that's plain wrong
18:18<TrueBrain>but now I have a nice stackless python server for EaB, but several packages take 80ms to build
18:18<TrueBrain>which is just too long
18:18<TrueBrain>and that is because I can't allocate N bytes of memory, and roll a struct over it
18:18<Eddi|zuHause2>if you browse through youtube, you can probably find either more "sex tv" sketches, or more "rabigramm" sketches
18:19<Eddi|zuHause2>like the rabigramm with the klitschko brothers... that one is great :p
18:19<Eddi|zuHause2>(that was in the show "Wetten, daß..?!" (on ZDF))
18:20<gfldex>are discussions about youtube links allowed?

18:23<TrueBrain>anyway, I now wonder if I should try to increase the speed of my server, but... I think I should pick an other language and try again :s
18:23<TrueBrain>gfldex: simple: every connection goes in its own thread
18:23<TrueBrain>if you do this via, say, pthread
18:23<TrueBrain>there is a BIG overhead
18:23<TrueBrain>and a max of, what, 1200?
18:23<TrueBrain>(most systems drop out when you try to create 1000+ threads)
18:23<gfldex>linux should be fine with that
18:23<TrueBrain>microthreads aren't 'real' threads, as in that they don't push and pop the stack
18:24<TrueBrain>gfldex: no, even linux drops out at 1200

18:24<gfldex>you have to iterate of those connections, right?
18:24<TrueBrain>not via this way :)
18:25<gfldex>so you end up with polluting the CPU cache quite a lot
18:25<TrueBrain>http://members.verizon.net/olsongt/stackless/why_stackless.html <- this tells most things :)
18:25<TrueBrain>Anyway, you can also put timers in threads like this
18:25<TrueBrain>so you say: wait(3)
18:25<TrueBrain>and it waits 3 seconds
18:26<TrueBrain>without holding the rest of the application
18:26<TrueBrain>1 thing you really have to keep in mind, is that all local variables are gone when it returns

18:28<TrueBrain>most of them are exactly what I need :)
18:28<gfldex>if you would have to serve that many connections in c++ you would try to handle all connections in one process
18:28<blathijs>CCP?
18:28<TrueBrain>blathijs: EVE: Online creators
18:29<blathijs>ah
18:29<TrueBrain>gfldex: yes, which overcomplicates things
18:29<gfldex>depends on your implementation
18:29<TrueBrain>gfldex: simple example: I read 4 bytes of the network, indicating a length of the packet
18:29<TrueBrain>with microthreads I just do: while True: socket.read(). tasklett.suspend()
18:29<TrueBrain>or what ever
18:29<TrueBrain>till the length is read
18:29<gfldex>stackless p. has to be written in some language and my bet is it's c++
18:29<TrueBrain>in your case, it would be much more complicated
18:29<TrueBrain>and in fact: slower
18:29<gfldex>you will type yourself bloody fingers tho
18:29<TrueBrain>gfldex: it is a small patch over Python, so it is C

18:30<gfldex>you could use trolltechs Qt

18:31<gfldex>and you dont need threads
18:31<TrueBrain>you don't get it :)

18:31<gfldex>you ever used Qt?
18:32<TrueBrain>only for some simple GUI
18:34<gfldex>TrueBrain: you know that CCP is switching from stackless to C++ bit by bit?
18:34<gfldex>at least for the server part
18:34<gfldex>the client will stay in stackless for some time
18:34<TrueBrain>at the 17th of August they claimed something else
18:34<TrueBrain>gfldex: anyway, CCP doesn't use microthreads (yet)
18:35<gfldex>they sayed they do
18:35<Sacro>TrueBrain: thats too complex for stupid little me

18:36<gfldex>they had some good interviews with quite a lot ppl
18:37<gfldex>and oveur sayed they replace python on server side bit by bit with c++
18:37<TrueBrain>"On the server side, we have found that increased responsiveness reduces lag"

18:37<TrueBrain>hehe, confusing times :p

18:37<TrueBrain>not that important, I guess :)

19:15<gfldex>i never read about that but my guess is they are going to do that
19:15<gfldex>if you click anything in mozilla and thunderbird you will trigger some JS code
19:16<gfldex>and at some point they will have to do something about speed
19:16<TrueBrain>I sure hope so :p
19:16<gfldex>esp. when ppl start to use SVG and there are quite a lot skin writers that want to do that
19:16<TrueBrain>SVG?
19:17<gfldex>vector gfx in xml
19:17<TrueBrain>ah, that stuff yes
19:17<gfldex>http://dexhome.homelinux.org/~dex/uhr/uhr.xhtml
19:17<gfldex>animations are done in JS
19:18<TrueBrain>loading... loading... loading...
19:18<gfldex>my uplink isnt all that fast :)
19:18<gfldex>and the svg is not compressed
19:18<TrueBrain>hehe :)
19:18<TrueBrain>not bad ;)
19:18<TrueBrain>so GoogleOS will be a fact
19:19<gfldex>and in firefox-3 you will have blur as a effect and that means really easy drop shadows
19:19<De_Ghost>really?
19:19<gfldex>like compiz got them
19:19<De_Ghost>google os?
19:19<De_Ghost>that'll be awsome
19:19<De_Ghost>as long as they don't deliever ads
19:19<De_Ghost>lol
19:20<gfldex>you can filter them in your http proxy :D
19:20<TrueBrain>De_Ghost: I am saying this for, what, 2 years now? Ever since Google became a hit: there will be a GoogleOS
19:20<TrueBrain>a fully webbased Operating System
19:20<De_Ghost>oh
19:20<De_Ghost>pfft
19:20<De_Ghost>forget that
19:20<TrueBrain>where your computer only needs to set up some browser in some graphical mode (read: DOS)
19:20<De_Ghost>i don't want a web link
19:20<TrueBrain>and that via a webbrowser you do everything
19:21<TrueBrain>from word-editing, till OpenTTD
19:21<gfldex>in firefox-3 svg got 4x as fast fps then in stable release
19:21<gfldex>so they start to do something with that
19:21<gfldex>finally after ... uhm ... 3 years
19:21<TrueBrain>I made windows via Javascript
19:21<TrueBrain>that was fun :)
19:21<TrueBrain>you could drag them
19:21<TrueBrain>open them
19:21<gfldex>there are browser games that use svg to display stuff
19:22<TrueBrain>hmm, I no longer have that project active, so it seems
19:23<gfldex>http://dexhome.homelinux.org/~dex/test/window.xhtml
19:23<TrueBrain>too bad, it was so much fun :) Just dead and dead slow
19:23<gfldex>with magnetic borders!
19:23<gfldex>well you have to tune firefox a bit
19:23<gfldex>it got a minimum delay for repainting
19:23<gfldex>you have to lower that a bit
19:24<TrueBrain>gfldex: hehe, mine did more: you could open Notepad, and Calculator (which really worked :p)
19:24<TrueBrain>via AJAX calls to the server and back
19:24<gfldex>with firefox-3 cairo support will enjoy us and that means (at least some day) compositing of the whole browser in opengl :)
19:25<TrueBrain>hehe
19:25<TrueBrain>I like you gfldex :p
19:25<gfldex>i make the future look bright, dont it? :D
19:26<TrueBrain>nah, you remind me of myself :)
19:30<TrueBrain>pff, this will be the 3rd big rewrite of my lovely server :p
19:30<TrueBrain>sigh...

19:36<TrueBrain>I still dream to make a patch that allows clustering of server, so you can have 1000 players playing one map :)
19:36<TrueBrain>(in OpenTTD)
19:36<TrueBrain>possible: yes; difficult: VERY
19:37<Sacro>Science: Purpose of Appendix Believed Found
19:37<Sacro> Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday October 06, @11:08AM
19:37<Sacro>from the still-at-the-back-of-the-book dept.
19:37[~]Sacro roffles
19:38<@Belugas>how difficult, TrueBrain? or rather, where is the complexity?
19:39<Sacro>oh Belugas, did you see that picture earlier, it may be a bug
19:39<TrueBrain>Belugas: what I have in mind means creating a map of, say, 102400x12400
19:39<TrueBrain>spawned over multiple servers
19:39<TrueBrain>and clients connect from one server to the other if they cross borders
19:39<TrueBrain>each sector-server keeps track of his piece of land
19:39<TrueBrain>and the client only has a map of, say, 512x512
19:39<TrueBrain>so needless to say, there is the difficulty ;)
19:40<@Belugas>ho... yeah :i get the picture :)
19:40<@Belugas>but it woul be soooooo coooooolll
19:40<gfldex>you could start with registering players and keep their wallet
19:40<TrueBrain>the client part is relative easy
19:40<gfldex>and increase running costs
19:40<@Belugas>Sacro, not a bug:)
19:40<CIA-5>OpenTTD: glx * r11222 /branches/noai/src/autoslope.h: [NoAI] -Fix (r11221): my text editor decided to play with me between compilation and commit
19:40<TrueBrain>the main problem I have: servers would have a 2048x2048 map
19:40<@Belugas>simply an optical illusion :)
19:40<gfldex>so you have to start little and make your way up the ladder
19:40<TrueBrain>so create a 10240x10240 map, you need
19:41<TrueBrain>@calc 10240*10240 / (2048*2048)
19:41<@DorpsGek>TrueBrain: 25
19:41<TrueBrain>servers
19:41<@Belugas>and tat will break a bit the general maparray...
19:41<TrueBrain>a normal computer can run, like, 4 servers
19:41<TrueBrain>so you need 7 computers :p
19:41<TrueBrain>Belugas: not really a problem, with some clever calculations :)
19:42<gfldex>would you let players be able to have tracks from one server to the other?
19:42<TrueBrain>gfldex: yes
19:42<TrueBrain>the easy way is to make special portals
19:42<gfldex>you could implement the connections like tunnels
19:42<TrueBrain>then the implementation becomes very simple
19:42<TrueBrain>so a very high montain on the borders :p
19:42<TrueBrain>but it is even possible to remove that
19:43<TrueBrain>and make the border seemless for the client
19:43<TrueBrain>but... it takes a lot of coding :)
19:43<gfldex>give each train a GUID and keep a distributed mapping of players<->trains
19:43<TrueBrain>gfldex: it can be done much easier
19:43<TrueBrain>just at some tiles, a train is tracked by 2 servers
19:43<TrueBrain>the big plus about OpenTTD is, that the game logic is 'static'
19:43<TrueBrain>the same thing happens over and over and over with the same Random
19:44<TrueBrain>so the main difficulty is to make this Random happen correctly
19:44<TrueBrain>solution is easy: make the Random set per object
19:44<TrueBrain>(so each train has its own seed)

19:44<@Belugas>TrueBrain: like someone told me recently "write it down"
19:44<TrueBrain>Belugas: yeah, I did, in the past :)
19:44<gfldex>we use IRC for a reason :)
19:45<TrueBrain>I was wondering why my BNC was lagging
19:45<TrueBrain>but there is a bzip process running on the host
19:45<TrueBrain>hehe
19:45<TrueBrain>anyway, when each object has its own seed (and thatone is used correctly)
19:45<TrueBrain>it doesn't matter who moves it
19:45<TrueBrain>they all move it the same way
19:45<TrueBrain>make the same choices
19:45<TrueBrain>etc etc
19:45<TrueBrain>(unsure if YAPF agree with me here, but okay, we take NTP :p)
19:45<gfldex>how do you keep time in sync?
19:46<TrueBrain>that is a bit tricky, you need to assume all servers make the 30 fps
19:46<TrueBrain>else you need to make a general hearthbeat
19:46|-|Greyscale_ [~Grey@host86-147-168-145.range86-147.btcentralplus.com] has joined #openttd
19:46<TrueBrain>telling all servers to do a tick, and check in when they did
19:46<TrueBrain>which means if 1 servers lags, they all lag
19:46<gfldex>you know how CCP keeps their sol server in sync?
19:46<TrueBrain>1 sector doesn't have direct conect with the other, right?
19:47<gfldex>right, they dont
19:47<TrueBrain>so that is much easier
19:47<TrueBrain>even if 1 server is 10 times as fast, nobody would really notice
19:47<gfldex>when a ship leaves a system it stores its state in the DB and deregisters
19:47<gfldex>then the proxy is connecting to the other sol server and that one loads that stuff from DB
19:47<TrueBrain>a simple server-handoff :)
19:47<TrueBrain>in this case, it is a bit more tricky :)
19:47<gfldex>thats why jumping with 300 ppl is a pain in the popo
19:48<TrueBrain>all MMO of this type have that
19:48<TrueBrain>joining is most of the time very expensive
19:49<gfldex>they want to move from ethernet to infiniband or something in that range
19:49<gfldex>because then can than handle connections to the DB server transparent
19:50<TrueBrain>how?
19:50<gfldex>do you know mosix?
19:50<TrueBrain>read about it long ago
19:50<gfldex>you can move one process from one host to another
19:51<gfldex>if you use a clustering fs (or a DB) you have to deregister and reregister all your connections
19:51<gfldex>because TCP is to stupid to handle that transparently
19:51<gfldex>the limitation here is ethernet
19:51[~]Sacro stretches
19:51<gfldex>with cluster network connections you have another layer of abstraction
19:52<gfldex>and that means you can move a connection from one host to another, without closing the connection
19:52<gfldex>and that's cool!
19:52<TrueBrain>yeah, but still the same amount of data needs to be send
19:52<TrueBrain>I mean, you can solve it easier
19:52<gfldex>true but you dont have to talk to the DB anymore
19:52<TrueBrain>instead of doing it via the DB, let the leaving sector server pack the data it is using and send it to the joining server
19:53<gfldex>the two hosts involed can handle that between each other
19:53<TrueBrain>avoids the talk to the DB also ;)
19:53<TrueBrain>but okay, it is basicly the same, what I say and what you say :)
19:53<gfldex>thats what they want to do
19:53<gfldex>IBM is doing that for ages on the mainframe
19:53<TrueBrain>I am suprised they aren't doing that ...
19:53<gfldex>cant be that hard :)
19:54<TrueBrain>the only question is: do they have the player-data in a single struct or is it spread all over the place :p
19:54<gfldex>they use ethernet and windows
19:54<gfldex>under linux you can have loads and loads of IPs

19:55<TrueBrain>I know very little about CCP
19:56<gfldex>he was asked (in a vid) if they did well with the choice of MSSQL

19:57<TrueBrain>that was a beast
19:57<TrueBrain>4 CPUs
19:57<TrueBrain>dunno what more
19:57<TrueBrain>why? Because it had MSSQL running
19:57<TrueBrain>how many users? Just 5
19:57<gfldex>MSSQL is a benchmark DB
19:59<TrueBrain>hmm, I remember reading they used MSSQL several years back
19:59<TrueBrain>then I already laughed my ass off
19:59<TrueBrain>I expected they had moved by now...
20:00<gfldex>the whole point of MSSQL is that you can't move off
