I'm having trouble loading a paint image and displaying it. Here is my paint code:

788888888888888888888888888887

78ff88ff88f88f8f88f8ff88ff8887
788f888f88f88f8f88f88f888f8887
78fff8fff88ff888ff88fff8fff770
78888888888888888888888888700
7888888888888888888888888870
77777777777777777777777770

and here is my function call:

local logo = loadImageFromServer("pastebinImage")
paintutils.drawImage(logo, 5, 3)

It works just fine in the lua prompt, but I get paintutils: 92: attempt to get length of nil when running it through Firewolf.

That error would be caused by logo being nil, and nil is returned from loadImageFromServer when the loading failed - meaning that it couldn't find the image on the server.

I just tested it and it worked perfectly for me. Did you move the file into your server folder, and name it pastebinImage? loadImageFromServer takes the imagePath from the root of the server folder, so translated into a full file path taken from the root of the computer it would be /.Firewolf_Data/servers/[server name]/pastebinImage.

oooooohhhh... it has to be in the SERVER folder....
You might want to work on that wiki, friend.

I completely suck at wiki/tutorial writing

I updated the function's description to:

Downloads an image from your server. The image must be inside the server folder. The `imagePath` is the path to the image, starting in the server folder.
Returns the loaded image that is returned by `paintutils.loadImage(image)`. Returns nil if the download failed or if the image could not be found.

I hope that's a little bit clearer

New problem....
I moved the file to my server folder, and it gave me an error, "server_software:518:no such file"
It then deleted the file.
What did I do wrong?

Ah!!!!! That's a bug in the server software! It occured when the server tried to rename the file to all lowercase - but I removed case insensitivity in Firewolf! I'll remove the piece of code in the server software that causes that error. You did nothing wrong It's just the upper case letter in the file scared the software D:

In the meantime, move it to the server folder with a lowercase name

Can you make this work with Immibis's Peripherals LAN cables. http://www.computerc...ss-peripherals/
LAN cables are so much better because they can send information over any distance even through unloaded chunks.

use my LAN wrapper: https://github.com/i...4/ComputerCraft
just run "lan"
requires "apis/lan" to be loaded (too lazy to combine them)

Oooooooohhhh that looks cool! I'll put it on the todo list to combine and include the lan cable support and this wrapper

Allrrrihgt, so it has come to my attention that there is a seriously major flaw with ComputerCraft or Firewolf that causes minecraft servers to crash.

[boring part]
Some people probably already have noticed this, but randomly, when connecting to a website, ComputerCraft will freeze, server commands stop working, redstone/mechanisms stop working, breaking blocks doesn't drop anything and you cannot pickup or drop items. Basically the server breaks and the server must restart.
[/boring part]

So I have added some messages on what Firewolf is doing when loading a webpage. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if someone does encounter this problem and tell me/gravityscore the status message shown on the screen. It would help A LOT. Thanks in advanced

Uhh....wow. That is a serious issue. I'll let you know if I come across anything.

Interesting, I played around with it in my OS, and it was working perfectly fine. But then, I ran it and it immediately said "Thanks for using Firewolf made my 1lann and gravity" or whatever. That wasn't a big deal and everything, but now, every time it runs, it gives an error at line 1122 saying a "}" was expected. However, I looked at the code and it looked like it was closed properly. Can you guys look into it? It completely stopped running now...

Edit: It's in fact a major bug! Every Firewolf program I run will get updated and do exactly what I said before.

Oh ummm........... whoops

I forgot a comma........ 1lann will kill me now. Goodbye everyone!

Nah. I fixed it. You're going to have to re-download the clients you updated though

Hey, I am currently in the progress of making an OS, and I was wondering if I could get permission to include Firewolf into my OS, like the other million OS's.

Yep sure!
What's it called, so I can add it to the list of OS's Firewolf is in?

It's not going to out for a while, but I believe I'm going to call it Panels.

i have never seen anything like this when using http
try sending me the server files and let me test it?

Um haha, sorry to say but now your exit site is bugged as well...

HTTP? Firewolf uses rednet. But this event has occurred on blackwolf and CCU

[PixelToast]

i dont get how rednet can cause servers to crash, unless you have specific steps / code then you probably wont get it fixed

Also, in 2.3.8 the red bar at the top doesn't show the scrolling animation
