Wanted to add my two cents...

I installed windows 10 on my new PC, and it works well. Far from perfect, but good enough that I like it.

First, I'd highly advise that you DO NOT upgrade a PC to 10 from a computer that has been used. Too many things can go wrong.
On the other hand, a fresh install (or an update to 10 from a fresh install of 7, 8, or 8.1) rarely, if ever, has issues with the install.

The search (from the start menu) is a bit lacking;
It finds things like Google Chrome and most settings very well, but Minecraft? Feed the Beast? No.
In fact, it can't find files at all really. (MC and FTB aren't officially 'installed' programs)

File explorer works as it should, for me at least.

Yep, calculator has gotten an upgrade. It actually surprised me, the old one worked so.. I didn't see an incentive to change it... I feel like that's not a good thing to immediately think.

Paint? I have no idea, I actually haven't even used it in 10. paint.net is a great, free alternative to the built-in paint and is similar to Photoshop.
Notepad still sucks too, but I use Notepad++ so it doesn't really matter to me.

It.. did? Do you mean when you updated, it broke your MBR?
Who needs that dated tech anyway, all the kool kids use GPT

To add onto this, there's no sure way to fix it.

OP, it's possibly related to incorrectly closing the game, did you, perhaps, stop the server by forcing it to stop instead of typing '/stop' (if you have control of the server)?

We can't help if you don't post the crash log you got without CustomNPCs

You could always modify the FS API

There are plenty of GUI based OS's in the Operating System section of the forums

One (no pun intended) example is OneOS

In this specific example, no, not without the Lua debug API (which is disabled in CC)

But in a program that calls os.pullEvent (like it should ), you can make a program that manages what events get passed to program b. See the parallel API for an example.

Glad to see you're getting some good use out of it

Your crash report should be in the minecraft folder, in the crash-reports folder.
The location of the MC folder depends on how you're running it. Default minecraft is (on windows) in %appdata% / .minecraft

Also, I believe we determined the text issue is due to your older GPU.

A quick search on Google Images for military time turns up results that mostly add the 0 before times like 1:00

But it is technically still 'correct' with or without the zero, since adding a zero simply changes the look, not the time shown.

Um.. what? PixelToast was showing that Google doesn't add the 0, that time would never have a 0 at the beginning anyway.

But IRL computers don't cease to exist temporarily when you walk away from them
95% of the time or more, a real computer is shut down by the user, properly.

In Minecraft however, I'd guess that a computer will almost never be shutdown using os.shutdown, but instead by their chunk unloading

Just out of curiosity, anyone know how OpenComputer handles it?

Many programs can be coded to assume they will be stopped at any moment. However, every so often I think of a program I'd like to make that can't get around this fact.


Like I said, I doubt dan will implement any type of work around, such as an event being fired. But if he did, I don't think anyone would complain.

Sebra, on 02 March 2016 - 06:52 PM, said:

It's fine to. But I doubt dan would implement it.

In the past, for suggestions regarding a 'shutdown' event or something similar, he maintains that it breaks the fourth wall a bit.
Which is true, but I don't think its a good reason not to implement it. Whats wrong with breaking the forth wall in Minecraft once in a while ?

Actually, since line 150 of the window API has to do with the text color of a line, I'd suspect term.setTextColor()

You never actually said so, but I assume you want to the computer to wait for the plant to grow.

You'd use a loop and sleep

while true do

  local success,t = turtle.inspectDown()

  if t.metaData == 7 then --# This is probably not correct, I assume you know what index the plant's growth is stored in
    break
  end

  sleep(5)

end

It continuously loops, checking the block below it each time.
When the metadata is 7, it breaks the loop
If the loop hasn't been broken at that point (meaning the plant isn't ready), it simply sleeps for 5 seconds.

Here's line 18:

civilTable = nil; _G.civilTable = {}; setmetatable(civilTable, {__index = getfenv()}); setfenv(1,civilTable)

My guess is that you have Lua 5.1 features disabled in your config
Separate it into two lines, like this:

civilTable = nil; _G.civilTable = {}; setmetatable(civilTable, {__index =
getfenv()}); setfenv(1,civilTable)

If the new error is on line 19, then we'll know for sure

In the file on pastebin, below the version history
(Starts at line 97)

Ok, a few things:

• I'm not sure if it's the forum software, but your indenting is strange, I've fixed it for you and uploaded it to pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/AjmGJPsN (Note I didn't change how it works, just the spacing and such)
  
• You CAN use the numerical color values, but using the Colors API is much easier
  
• Your 'event if-statement' (we'll call it that) has three options: mouse_click, rednet_message, and an else for all other events. But within your mouse_click statement, you check again that the event was a mouse click. You don't need to.
  
• I'd recommend using a button API, so that you don't have to check 4 values to see what button was clicked. You could use my Simple Screen Maker to create it with an interface, or Lyqyd's Touchpoint API (there are others too)

Finally, I didn't check to see what causes the menu to disappear. Take another look, perhaps change a few of the things I mentioned, and you might find it.

X3ME, on 27 February 2016 - 10:48 PM, said:

In your main loop, you should have one call to os.pullEvent() (usually the first line of the loop)

Below it, you check what event was pulled, and handle it accordingly:

while true do

  local event, p1, p2, p3, p4 = os.pullEvent() --# I use the variable names because you don't know for sure what each variable contains yet.

  if event == "mouse_click" then
    --# The mouse was clicked, do stuff with the parameters (that's our variables p1, p2, ...)
  elseif event == "rednet_message" then
    --# Recieved a rednet message
 end --# You can check other events if you need to, but those you don't handle will simple by discarded, which is fine

end

That program is a bit unique; it's a program that you can run, and also an API that can be loaded and used in another program.
Most APIs won't do anything if you run them.

If you want to use it like a program, run these commands:

> pastebin get Dv9x1ppc cleverbot
> cleverbot

Or, if you want to use it in one of your programs:
Download it, with the same pastebin command.
Add os.loadAPI("cleverbot") into your program. The post you linked has a small example on how to use it.

shell.run(), as you probably know, runs a program as if you had typed it into the command line. Which includes printing text to the screen.

You can redirect the terminal to an invisible window, but that isn't the 'proper' way.


You can look into the pastebin program to see how it works. For convince, here's a link to it.
Try to implement it into your program, without the prints or shell.run. Feel free to ask if you aren't sure where to start!

I assume the error has a '3' in there somewhere too. That's the line number.

You would get that error if there isn't actually a peripheral on the right.

You can do it like this:

modem.transmit( 1,2, {"setActive",true} )

local event, modemSide, senderChannel, replyChannel, message, senderDistance = os.pullEvent("modem_message")

reactor[ message[1] ]( message[2] )

You'd send a table containing the method to call (as a string), and the value to pass it.

On the other end you index the method name in the reactor table, calling the function with the value specified in the message.

Usually, APIs and programs go in the root directory.

For a program on pastebin, you'd run this command in a computer:

pastebin get <pastebin code> <file path>

Replacing <pastebin code> and <file path> with the appropriate values, of course.
Simply putting a name for <file path> automatically puts in the root directory.

If you give us a link to the program and API, we can give you more specific commands.

Well, its not just 'likely'. Changing the value in the config will affect all computers. It might be nice to have the ability to expand individual computers, but why not just expend them all?
If giving ever computer more space is an issue, you can always create a resource pack with a (relatively) simple file to make any specific computer think it has less space.

You can run Java apps on a chromebook? Interesting. I assume you can't run full fledged minecraft though. (If you could it would kill your battery 10x as fast as CCEmuRedux )

Well, Ender modems have a range of over 2 billion blocks, while the maximum size for a world is 60,000,000 (30 million from 0,0 in each direction)
So it wouldn't make sense to give them 10 times the range. If it were even technically possible in Java (the ender modem's range is actually the max value for an int)

It's an interesting idea but I don't think it makes sense for ComputerCraft, which generally focuses on programming and not limitations of components.
