What's happened to disk.getDiskID? Lua says it's nil. I'm just confused because it's still listed here: Disk API

[theoriginalbit]

so if you do

print( tostring( disk.getDiskID ) )

it prints nil?

Have you tried rebooting the computer?

Yes, it prints nil. And yes, I have. disk.getDiskID doesn't point to anything. It's simply nil.

It's seems like .getDiskID is deprecated or something like that.

Odd... very odd indeed... Server? CC version? Minecraft mod pack?

table

for k,v in pairs(disk) do
  print(tostring(k).." = "..tostring(v))
end

and is there anything that prints here?

[LBPHacker]

It prints function names and pointers

But hey I see what's the problem... There is no .getDiskID but there IS .getID! What the potato?! Nevermind, looks like it's the same as .getDiskID.

hmmm could have changed from that version and wiki is outdated. makes sense tho disk.getDiskID well what other id did I mean?! clearly i meant the disk, im using the disk api. so i can understand that change
