Thank you! I'd started writing an emulator this week for a bit of fun, and to solve some of these issues, however it looks like I won't have to now! I wrote a debug API patcher a long time ago for a mod that never reached release stage, you can have a read if it helps. Just a couple of questions:

• Will the LuaJC compiler be optional? Obviously it is much faster, however it doesn't give a perfect representation of running it in ComputerCraft. Also, if you do end up porting it to use ASM as suggested in the thread, will you open source that file? (Or will you stick with BCEL)
  
• I realise you are still using CC's ComputerThread instance. Is there a chance that you could make this local to each computer, so the Too long without yielding error duration could be increased? I understand this would require a lot of ASM hacking but I'm wondering if it is possible?
  
• Is there a chance of a plugin API? This seems like a really odd question, but sometimes I want to write things in Java, the key element being a profiler as a Lua profiler would have to much overhead. I think writing a mod is overkill for this. All this would really need would be a way of registering a computerOn hook or something, so APIs could be loaded. This is clearly not a priority, I'm just wondering if there is a chance of it in the future?

Thank you so much for making CC development much less of a pain though. I can't remember the last time I launched Minecraft to write for ComputerCraft thanks to this.

Download Link is not working

Error code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Errr my DNS is probably being dumb :/
I'll fix the URL

Yeah both debug and LuaJC would be optional, and I don't see why not to release the ASM version if I manage to convert it
I can definitely look into making the timeout longer.
A plugin API is not an immediate concern right now, but it is definitely a possibility.

It seems to just open and then close on Yosemite.

It has the exact same error message as the one given by this guy: https://bitbucket.or...-not-executable

Who ever posted the issue about crashing on Win7,
Can you please post the output when run from the command line, or the log file?

[hbomb79]

Does this not work on Mac OS X? It opens two windows, then closes both shortly afterwards

This is the exception in the log;

2015-01-30 14:14:42 [INFO] [CCEmuRedux Launcher] Emulator> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /var/folders/2q/_blzn1056qb7_bt18gr9w69r0000gn/T/libgdxharryfelton/45614fc1/liblwjgl.dylib

I would love to use this, although if it doesn't work, does anyone have another emulator they know of? I can't find any 1.6 emulators

For some reason, the lwjgl lib that it's looking for is named liblwjgl.jnilib instead of liblwjgl.dylib. Just make a symbolic link for it.

cd /var/folders/2q/_blzn1056qb7_bt18gr9w69r0000gn/T/libgdxharryfelton/45614fc1/
ln -s liblwjgl.jnilib liblwjgl.dylib

Please add an option for command computers, they were added in CC 1.7.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, how would you even do that?

Could you get this to run in the linux terminal rather than create a new GUI window? I want to be able to have my own CC computer, running arch linux and the CC emulator running on boot.

[utybo]

This is an absolutely wonderful emulator! GJ!

[AndreWalia]

I love it! IMO, you should be able to resize the computers. I dont mean change how many CC pixels they are, I mean the actual size on my screen.
Sort of like zooming in.

You could use stuff from:
http://www.shapeways...s/computercraft
and support development of ComputerCraft too while at it.

I would do that, but the pi is too big for dan200's 3d printed blocks

[Wojbie]

Thats what i get for fast Google search and confusing metric and imperial measurements. Wonder if you could get super-sized block from shapeways. Probably not.

you'd also have to cut holes.anyway someone could probably make their own design for the pi. They could even give it to dan200, so he can sell it.

I would like to say that this program is very nice for someone who wants to use it in order to test his\her's programs. But i have a question, is there chance in the future to add virtual entities beside the computers ? Like, the option to create a virtual reactor from big reactors in order to control it. Just asking....

[Slash0mega]

bug here, whenever i run this program i was working on

--this is the path to the source file
local sourceFilePath = "/abc"
--this is the file handle for the source file
local sourceFile = "blank"
--this is the destonation file, it will be a normal text document
local endFilePath = "/xyz"
--this is the file handle for the source file
local endFile = "blank"
--this is the current byte, copied here because using read() will progress to teh next byte
local currentByte = true
--this is the ammount of commands done before sleep() is called, because otherwise the program will time out
local yeildLimit = 100000
--this is the ammont of commands performed so far, used with yeildLimit
local yeildCurrent = 0
--this is weather turning data to txt or txt to data, true is data to txt, false is txt to data
local conversionDirection = true

--this block opens the files in the right modes
if conversionDirection == true
then
  sourceFile = fs.open(sourceFilePath,"rb")
  endFile = fs.open(endFilePath,"w")
else
  sourceFile = fs.open(sourceFilePath,"r")
  endFile = fs.open(endFilePath,"wb")
end

while currentByte do
--copys the byte/text to current byte
if conversionDirection == true
  then
   currentByte = sourceFile.read()
  else
   currentByte = sourceFile.readLine()
end
--copys current byte to file
if conversionDirection == true
  then
   endFile.writeLine(currentByte)
  else
   endFile.write(tonumber(currentByte))
end
print(currentByte)
if yeildCurrent <= yeildLimit then
  yeildCurrent = yeildCurrent + 1
else
  yeildCurrent = 0
  sleep(0.01)
end
end
--this closes the files
sourceFile.close()
endFile.close()
--sourceFile = fs.open(sourceFilePath,"rb")
--print(sourceFile.read())
--print(sourceFile.read())
--print(sourceFile.read())
--print(sourceFile.read())

i get a "java exeption thrown" when it reaches the end of the file, i think it has somthing to do with it niling the "currentByte" variable but i am not sure

this program works in normal computercraft btw.

[LDDestroier]

How exactly do I get an actual computercraft file to work as the 'computercraft.jar' file? It keeps redownloading the older version for me...
