But this is possible already by wrapping term API and making it store the data.

So what you mean is actually a simplified rednet PDA?

I may do a menu for this later on as well.

#8229 TNT Team's programs [1.31][cc get][vandie's programs]

Posted by Liraal on 06 April 2012 - 07:17 PM in Programs

we can do it via ROM. And then make it completely virus-proof by running the antivir in the background and allowing for both remote access and stopping the execution of suspicious software locally. It's worth it.

#8185 Reading text from file

it has to be absolute, but you can try shell.resolve("relativepath")

#7983 Turtles, turtle.detectLeft() turtle.detectRight()

Posted by Liraal on 05 April 2012 - 06:19 AM in Suggestions

Well, I would say that too, except that it is painfully slow when it comes to pathfinding and stuff like that.

#7888 Play MP3 files in computercraft

Posted by Liraal on 04 April 2012 - 06:00 PM in General

...unless you get a lot of noteblocks, tune them right and decode an mp3 into noteblock format. Quite interesting I must say.

rs.setOutput("back", true)
disk.eject(<side>)
sleep(5)
rs.setOutput("back", false)
os.shutdown()

where <side> is the side with disk drive.

#7635 General Questions (GPS, Rednet and Events)

Posted by Liraal on 03 April 2012 - 12:58 PM in Ask a Pro

I think that to stop a program you can do something like:

function waitAndTerminate()
while true do
a,b=rednet.receive()
if b=="terminate" then os.queueEvent("terminate") end
end
end
function splitThread()
parallel.waitForAll(
waitAndTerminate,
function() os.run({},"rom/programs/shell") end
)
return true
end

Then you run splitThread() and it automatically terminates running program whenever you send a message. It should work, but I haven't tested it.

#7513 [Question] Am i able to create a chat program in LUA?

Posted by Liraal on 02 April 2012 - 08:16 PM in Ask a Pro

You can write and receive at one time, it's just a bit harder to do. I suggest reading on the parallel API ('help parallel').

#7148 TNT Team's programs [1.31][cc get][vandie's programs]

Posted by Liraal on 31 March 2012 - 05:26 PM in Programs

yes it is, you don't even have an idea how much

/> Once it gets in, and one execution is all that's required, you'll have a veeeery hard time tracking it and removing. I can bet on it.

C'mon, read the tutorial.

#7042 [1.31] os.loadAPI will not attempt to re-load an API that errored out

You can also try os.unloadAPI(), works fine in newer version of CC (higher than 1.2).

#6908 [Lua][Question]How to copy directory?

Posted by Liraal on 30 March 2012 - 02:33 PM in Ask a Pro

i don't think you can copy a directory, but i will try to get something to help you.

Edit: Here you go, this should copy sub-directories as well.

Spoiler

function copyDir(a,:o/>/>
local list=fs.list(a)
fs.makeDir(:o/>/>
for i=1, #list, 1 do
if fs.isDir(a..list[i]) then copyDir(a..list[i],b..list[i])
else fs.copy(a..list[i],b..list[i]) end
end
return true
end

#6818 1.4 Internet

graphic is a no, but a text-only web client shouldn't be that hard. Just to get rid of all the useless metadata in website source.

#6817 [1.4] computer shutdown notify

Posted by Liraal on 29 March 2012 - 07:57 PM in Suggestions

just place a bunch of pressure plates

But seriously, this is a feature that should be added, because it prevents assholes from doing bad things to your stuff without being detected.

#6789 [Solved] Change font color

There are only three:
first one regulates red color intensity, second green and the third blue, according to the RGB standard.

#6787 [Solved]--Help please!

Posted by Liraal on 29 March 2012 - 06:18 PM in Ask a Pro

Corrected the code, should work.

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("--------------------------------------------------")
print(" Anti-Virus 2.1")
print("--------------------------------------------------")
print(" ")
print("Loading...")
sleep(2)
print(" ")
textutils.slowPrint("Virus's detected, Do you wish to terminate them?,WARNING will destroy start files!")
local keyword = "yes"
local keyword2 = "no"
ek== io.read()
if ek==keyword then
fs.delete("startup")
else
print("?")
end

function nextrow()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward() turtle.forward() turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.back() turtle.back() turtle.back() turtle.back() turtle.back()
return true
end

which goes 3 blocks left and then 4 back

and a computer receiver would look like

while true do
print(rednet.receive())
end

#6619 Remote Turtle- Lumberjack

Posted by Liraal on 28 March 2012 - 06:30 PM in Ask a Pro

there are all kinds of scripts for remote control. But you would need only something like:

while true do
lumberjack() --or whatever function you use for tree coppping
local a,b=rednet.receive()
if b=="home" then
home() --or any other function to make it go home
end
if b=="next" then nextrow() end
end

#6590 [1.4/Plugin] Block/Item API

Posted by Liraal on 28 March 2012 - 09:22 AM in Suggestions

Then mine it and replace. If it's possible then it's probably grass, and if it's not, it's diamond/coal/redstone and you can always keep them in your inventory and check for it. It IS doable.
