Hii Toxic,

Well i hope that you are done soon with your exams,
because i want to start as soon as possible again working on WolfOS again with you ^^.
And i have got new ideas again for later on stuff but first focus on the WolfOS Core.
After that we can focus about control and programs.

Why thanks :)/> Only 4 exams to go now, and they're pretty spread out so I have plenty of time to work on WolfOS.

In other news, I've just released WolfOS 1.3.2, which mainly consists of all the UI changes and menu system improvements I've made since last release. Go check out the changelog and grab the download in the OP!

I have finished up the monitor support (also supports Espen's Synchronized Terminal Redirection POC [http://www.computerc...edirection-poc/] if it is installed, doesn't matter if it isn't).
I also added new controls to the menus: Home and Page Up jump to the first option of the menu, while End and Page Down jump to the last option on the menu. Finally, Backspace simulates a press of the Return option, provided it is available.

How'd change the password for login to ***? I tried downloading and looking through with Notepad++ but didn't find it. Anything?

Are you talking about using read("*") instead of read()?

I mean if the password I typed to login was "apple"for example, (its not, obviously) I'd type this code for a basic door lock:

pass = apple

write "Password: "
input = read()
if input == pass then
print "Password Correct"
redstone.setOutput(left, true)
sleep(5)
redstone.setOutput(left, false)
else
print "Password Incorrect"
end
but apple would show up when I type it, not the *** like in his login. I want *** to show instead of apple.

1) The password should be a string, so put quotes around it ("apple" instead of apple).
2) Like Lyqyd said, you have to use read("*") instead of read().
3) You should make a post for this on the Ask a Pro forum.

What he said :)/>
I'd really like some feedback on the actual OS though guys, I have lots of downloads and no comments...

EDIT: Oh, and you missed the () around some of the function arguments such as on the write and print commands.

1) Yeah, that was just a stupid miskate on my end :)/>
2) That's what I needed, but had no idea that was it since I'm still new to coding here.
3) Like I said, I'm still new.
Thanks guys, that's what I needed!

The OS is actually running great for me, especially liked the auto install.
Also, I found the () around the write + print arguments aren't needed. It works fine with just quotes.

EDIT: Although now that I look back on this code I realise that I didn't put in the quotes around the redstone output side. I typed this in a rush, but didn't realise how I left out so many things.

And I tried skipping the () on a print command and you appear to be right. Well I never knew.. :)/>

Could you use the peripheral api to only show available drives, monitors and modems?

This is actually a very sensible suggestion :D/> I certainly will do this, silly of me not to do it before :)/>

and in ssp passwords are kind of useless, it would be nice if you could add an option to turn them off



Edit:

I tried modifying the music player to be an API loader and unloader.
I don't know if you are interested in something like this and it's still unfinished because I wasn´t able to code the load und unload menus.

Please take a look at it, thanks in advance.

snip
I may add an option to make the OS more useful to SSP again later, such as removing passwords etc.

Also, the WAPI is undocumented at the moment, but soon I'm adding a Program Creating program which will also include help files on all the WolfOS, ComputerCraft and standard Lua APIs.
The API (un)loader is a interesting idea, but slightly redundant as custom APIs will be automatically loaded (provided they are saved in the right directory) once I add script writing support inside the OS.

Umm, could you explain what you mean a bit more, I don't really understand what you're trying to say.

What do you think of that idea:
Programs are folders with the suffix .prog. Inside them there is a file called "main" or "core". The programMenu only shows those folders, hides their suffix and when you select a programm the main or core file is run.
This would open lots of possibilities for bigger programs and program or game collections.

Hmm... Yes, I think that is a very good idea, and would allow, like you said, programs consisting of multiple files. I think I shall go ahead and do this now, nice one :)/>

Wow, thanks for the support! I really like the logo! Could I perhaps request a bright green one? You know, to fit the Toxic Wolf thing xD

In other news: Upgrading to an adaptable online/offline mode system is requiring lots of little re-writes in many places across the OS, and has introduced many new bugs to squish... Yep, you heard correct, networking is coming to WolfOS! Named HyperPaw.
