#277677 Why CraftOS is better than Windows

Posted by KingofGamesYami on 03 July 2018 - 12:06 AM in Media

I for one welcome security updates and bug fixes. CraftOS in the last official release is laughably broken.

#277680 Why CraftOS is better than Windows

I have an Ubuntu VM through Virtualbox, it is very fast. I have allocated 4 cores and 11 GB of RAM to it though, so that probably helps.

There is no functional difference between deleting inside a program and deleting manually.

What've you got against the hot dog stand theme?

Just kidding, I agree with you. Grayscale looks awesome.

#277763 the HTTP API and the cookies

Posted by KingofGamesYami on 12 July 2018 - 09:49 PM in Ask a Pro

Cookies are in the headers, of course. You can't read the headers in any version of computercraft that has been officially released, but the latest version includes the ability to do so through the .getResponseHeaders method.

It was added in 1.80pr0 or 1.80pr1 (unreleased).

The builds available on https://cc.crzd.me should include it.

Well, first you read in a username and password. Then you hash the password and compare it to the previously stored hash, preferably with some salting.

#278570 Saving Table To File With Functions

Posted by KingofGamesYami on 26 November 2018 - 10:29 PM in Ask a Pro

The reason that error occurs is because there is no way to create a string from a function that is guaranteed to work the same after converting it back to a function.

As you are writing the function in question, just write it as a string in the first place. You can later use loadstring and pass arguments to it using varargs (as is done with programs).

#277837 Reading bytes

I have very little experience with reading binary in CC, but my first thought is that num is larger than the number of bytes available for some reason.

HTTP binary support was a long standing bug that was patched in 1.80pr1. If you are using an older version it will not work.

This is why you're getting that error.

unpack has been renamed to table.unpack in later versions.

Think about what num % 1 would return if there is no decimal. You can come up with a simlple program similar to the one you have now with that information.

#278525 Portable Computers and Touchscreen Menus

Posted by KingofGamesYami on 14 November 2018 - 05:18 AM in Ask a Pro

I recommend taking a look at the touchpoint API. It handles all the difficult stuff for you, you just have to tell it where each button is and what it should do.

Sometimes line numbers are innaccurate. Can you verify that it is that line by adding some print statements?

#277785 [SOLVED] string.gmatch seems to steal letters

Have you tried "^\"" yet? That will match everything except a double quote.

#277760 [SOLVED] string.gmatch seems to steal letters

Posted by KingofGamesYami on 12 July 2018 - 09:05 PM in Ask a Pro

You can easily create a custom pattern to match all letters and _. It'd look something like this: "[%a_]"

I think string.gsub( str, "minecraft:", "" ) would work much better in this case.

The error message clearly states your problem:

You have treated components as a function and placed parentheses after it as if to call it. Unfortunately it is not a function and so the error.

#278057 [SOLVED] calling code from string

Posted by KingofGamesYami on 10 August 2018 - 12:23 AM in Ask a Pro

BrunoZockt, on 09 August 2018 - 07:58 PM, said:

I need to run code from a string (e.g. "if true then print("bla") end"). loadstring() doesn't work for me since I need to call functions that are not global but only exist within my program.

First off, WHY? There is most likely a MUCH better solution to whatever problem you have than doing this (which is why the default behavior is to not allow it).

BrunoZockt, on 09 August 2018 - 07:58 PM, said:

the documentation of load() is so bad

It's actually very good, IMO.

Finally, neither example #1 nor example #2 work for me. A minimal reproduction is easy:

local foo = "Hello World"
print( getfenv().foo ) --# nil

Unfortunately, it is completely impossible to get locally delcared variables in ComputerCraft. In regular Lua it is possible to do via the debug library, but this is disabled for security reasons.

The easiest workaround would be to not declare your stuff as local. But that is going to pollute the global env. and do various bad things. A better workaround is to pass all the required variables to the function when it is called. If this is impractical, you might want to consider a different approach to whatever problem you're attempting to solve.

Is there any chance this will be updated to work with the current(1.12.2) version of computercraft?

OP hasn't logged in since 2015 so I rather doubt they will respond.
