Anyone still working on this? I have a problem. When I download Firewolf 2.5, it says it can't connect to Github, even though github is working fine. When I "click to exit", it says it is downloading the files.

Also, the server system doesn't seem to work. When I host a server, no other computers can connect to the website. I am assuming firewolf didn't download the required files.

I tried getting the Firewolf 3.0 you have on Github, but when I go to rdnt://server, I press space but it says download failed.

Same downloading issue with the themes. It says the themes are corrupt, but I assume it says that because it couldn't find the right files.


If this/these issues can be fixed, Firewolf would be awesome!
You need to make sure that you've added github to your HTTP whitelist, or disable the whitelist completely.

Doesn't work for me either, And I've enabled all web pages in the config :P
I looked through some of the code in the FW 2.5 client and it seems it tries to download some files that has been removed

But why doesn't 3.0 download the 3.0 server? I don't get it.

I love this program since it makes sharing programs very easy.
I would love it more if it had http support though.
Nice job!

Ah sorry for not replying earlier, as support has mostly been discontinued. The source files for the most recent version of Firewolf can be found here:
https://github.com/1.../src/server.lua
https://github.com/1.../src/client.lua

It doesn't automatically update because they're two different major versions... actually thinking about it now I'll make it automatically update to this version of firewolf since the last version has been discontinued.

EDIT: Alright since you guys still want Firewolf and everything, I spent an hour patching up Firewolf to a somewhat useable state (mainly the server that GravityScore never finished). So yeah, server updated and I did a zero-day exploit fix on the client where I had forgot to disable os.queueEvent. Also, it's available on pastebin:
Client: http://pastebin.com/nWxDpy7u
Server: http://pastebin.com/hi4xFVxn

Also note that the client (and server) don't appear to auto-update, so you'll need to manually update. I might do more in the future, who knows, but don't count on any more updates to Firewolf. We were meant to re-write it again, to make it modular but we just never finished.

Anywho one last thing I want to add, in the what was meant to be the next version of firewolf, the Rednet system was meant to be encrypted and used a modular system with Diffie-Hellman key exchange. I believe that other people may find this of use if they want encrypted rednet messaging, and that if anyone still wants, they can have the source of the demo code here (Everything above the --Testing comment is the same for both demos)
Receiving: http://pastebin.com/uRTrgdLV
Sending: http://pastebin.com/6jK2T2mh
A few tips on using this encrypted rednet system:
The handshake system is controlled by you and is not automated, it's just there to process handshake data to generate a shared secret key through Diffie-Hellman key exchange. So steps I suggest to use this system is as follows:
  • Figure out who you need to communicate with
  • Over the air (publically) send Handshake data over
  • Start a SecureConnection with the shared key, a code word (doesn't need to be private, but if it is it will increase security), and optionally distance for direct (not through rednet/any other network repeaters) connections and additional security.

In your fix, what exactly is "window"?

Wow, amazing program!
I'm thinking in setting up a little web system in tekkit, but, i can't find the computer craft 1.5.8 version of this program.
What firewolf version number is for CC 1.5.8?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers :D

There currently isn't one as I'll need to port it to CC 1.58, I'll do that sometime in the future... maybe today or tomorrow.

Window? What window? Do you mean the window API? http://computercraft...iki/Window_(API) it's only available in CC 1.6+

Here's the version with the CC 1.6 APIs bundled (Wrapper/ported version) of Firewolf, which means it works on CC 1.58.

Damn, I wish I knew how to make these programs, because I'd attempt a Legacy edition of Firewolf. Actually, that's one of my few good ideas, someone take note of that! :P But seriously, for all of us fans wishing that Firewolf Support would kick off again, we should seriously try and make a Legacy Version. We could even port it to PDA(probably already considered, I was away in Shanghai/Beijing for 6 weeks, but 2 decent ideas in a row! I'm on fire! :P), so all PDA users could run around, maybe browse like they would on their iPhone/Android Phone. Maybe to use their chat website or check out the nearby buildings' websites. That would be revolutionary.

Somewhere in the comments on the first page I saw something about "This project has mostly been discontinued", which is a real shame considering how good and well-written this program is.

Unfortunately, no we are currently "poking it with a stick" to see if it's dead.
