So can I simply not put the pFilter thing if I want it to see everything? And simply ignore sender?

Yep. Sender is irrelevant.

I tried making the routing program, but it didn't work. Didn't error either, but I need it debugged. Could you give it a go?

I promise not to remove it.

as far as I can tell, the only problem is line 189:

        disknet.broadcast(a)

Since you have not loaded the api, just pasted the code in, shouldn't it be this?

       broadcast(a)

I fixed that, but it still doesn't work right. I don't know if it's not broadcasting or not receiving. Could you please please get it working? The program goes on a computer with a disk drive and a wireless modem. I am completely lost.

Are you sending a rednet message to the computer running the program? Also whenever it stops, just press ctrl+t and it should give a line number where you stopped it.

The program should take in rednet information and broadcast it on disknet, while at the same time broadcasting received disknet data on rednet.

This is a schematic (sort of) of how it should be connected. Note: where it says client, there can be multiple computers.

(By the way, the picture was made using a cheap linux paint clone. I've yet to find something as simple as mspaint.)

I understand the purpose you are using it for, however it might stop whenever it's trying to rednet.receive() if nothing is being sent to it.

[KingofGamesYami]

while true do
  local event = { os.pullEvent() }
  if event[ 1 ] == "disknet_message" then
    --#send on rednet
  elseif event[ 1 ] == "rednet_message" then
    --#send on disknet
  end
end

  end
end

Will this go on if there isn't a rednet/disknet message? Because I'm using my laptop, and it lags with Lubuntu, so I can't run ComputerCraft.

No it will wait for some kind of event, and if that event's not one of those then it will start from the top

So if it gets any rednet message or disknet message, then it executes the right code?

[Dragon53535]

it should, however the code Yami had when i was testing was flawed and it kept raising a disknet event

So should http://pastebin.com/dv6LDhVa work as intended? Because this could be an invaluable tool for huge multiverse city-based tekkit servers.

You have too many ends at the end of your program, you indented improperly, just delete one.
Line 141, you're using disknet.broadcast, since you're not loading the disknet api that should just be broadcast Same for 192.
When calling a broadcast from disknet when you receive a redstone message, i would assume you would want to send the message from the client, the way it's setup is that the client has to send 2 messages.
The same with rednet.send

Fixed. Does it work now? I can't test it right now.

[LDDestroier]

My pastebin has been updated, and it looks good. There's just one fatal problem.

I noticed that the code for your api looks for an event called "disknet_message". The router program recognizes the event "rednet_message" okay, but it doesn't see the event "disknet_message".

How does that get invoked? Do I have to add some code to my pastebin? If I do, please give me it. This actually might work.

[KingofGamesYami]

No, it should have everything.

[LDDestroier]

Here are the problems that I got right now:

-It appears to accept a rednet input once, but another one crashes it with the error: 'expected string, got number'.
-It either doesn't broadcast the disknet at all, or can't receive disknet.


Please revise it. I need this to work, and I am not skilled enough to pull this off.

[Dragon53535]

Your code is flawed (If you are using the same pastebin) You should change inside your os.pullEvent() these

print("rednet: " .. rednet.receive())
broadcast(rednet.receive())

print("disknet: " .. receive())
rednet.broadcast(receive())

To these

print("rednet: ".. event[3])
broadcast(event[3])

print("disknet: " .. event[5])
rednet.broadcast(event[5])

Should I just modify redrepeat() to print what text it gets and simply use that instead of what I added? Because if that works, then that would be great, and I would be annoyed because I tried for a while to get it to route data another way.

Even better, disknet could also use an encryption algorithm. It would use the public/private key thing, where two huge prime numbers are generated, then multiplied together as your public key.

That, or simply use a password to encrypt disknet data.
