Hello, as this program has got more and more complex I thought it deserved its own thread.

This program is a program downloader with an easy to use gui and startup script generation.

It's probably easier to show you...

So yeah, as seen from the images, everything is split down into author -> package -> program.

You navigate the menu items by using up, down, left and right arrows. When your are in the program information window you just hit enter to download! Simple!

To download just type: pastebin get N22T449A dr

If you want your programs added to Dark Retriever just take a look at my github and submit a pull request.

The format for adding a program is:

Spoiler

--GitURL can be any URL, but it must be direct
["server"]={
["GitURL"]="https://raw.github.com/darkrising/darkprograms/darkprograms/darksecurity/server.lua",
["Version"]=6.301,
["Type"]="program",
["Name"]="Dark Programs Server",
["Description"]="Dark Programs Base Security Server",
["Author"]="Darkrising",
["Package"]="Dark Security",
},

I'll just stick to clapping and saying "awesome". I really like the design. One thing though: I'd store the versions as strings, as they are capable of holding more information than a double number.

Thanks

The reason they're stored as double numbers is because my program's auto updater compares the version of the program to the downloaded one.

You can do that with strings as well. Split the string into numbers and compare them. There you go.

Do you mind me modifying it to allow some of my programs to be installed too? & is it possible for you to sort of help me lol cuz when I tried doing it, it was not indexing ( I just edited the program versions file and updated the changed link in the dr

As long as you give me credit, I don't mind

If you take a look at my Github you will find a program versions file that's where the dark retriever gets its info.

Like in my example above:

["server"]={ --program name
["GitURL"]="https://raw.github.com/darkrising/darkprograms/darkprograms/darksecurity/server.lua", --direct url to the program.
["Version"]=6.301, --version
["Type"]="program", --category
["Name"]="Dark Programs Server", --Actual name of the program
["Description"]="Dark Programs Base Security Server", --A small description of what it does or is
["Author"]="Darkrising", --Author
["Package"]="Dark Security", --Package the program is located
},

So if you had a program called potato

["potato"]={
["GitURL"]="http://www.some.url.com/potato",
["Version"]=1.0,
["Type"]="program",
["Name"]="An epic potato program",
["Description"]="Potatos are epic",
["Author"]="MrPotato",
["Package"]="PotatoPrograms",
},

Edit also for auto-update:

Spoiler

From my api I have this function

function gitUpdate(ProgramName, Filename, ProgramVersion)
  if http then
    local getGit = http.get("https://raw.github.com/darkrising/darkprograms/darkprograms/programVersions")
    local getGit = getGit.readAll()
    NVersion = textutils.unserialize(getGit)
    if NVersion[ProgramName].Version > ProgramVersion then
      getGit = http.get(NVersion[ProgramName].GitURL)
      getGit = getGit.readAll()
      local file = fs.open(Filename, "w")
      file.write(getGit)
      file.close()
      return true
    end
  else
    return false
  end
end

And my program calls it in the form of:

if AutoUpdate == true then 
    if ((dark.gitUpdate("server", shell.getRunningProgram(), Version) == true) or (dark.gitUpdate("dark", "dark", dark.DARKversion) == true)) then
      os.reboot()
    end
  end

Thanks, I got it all figured out!
