Perhaps, in a future update.. I've taken a break from ComputerCraft Coding for a while...

I'm planning to make an update for TekOS. It will include a lot more features. However, it may take me a while because I don't usually have that much time to work on it, and I'm not very educated in Lua. Anyways, it should include a program store (Where the default programs would be) that you can add your own programs to your program list through. You would be able to delete programs from the store, if you have your own permissions, and users can delete the programs from the default list (There will be a way to prevent them from deleting them from others lists, as well...).

What I don't know about at the moment is making it so that if it happens to crash or something, making it so it shows the error on like a custom screen, not exit to CraftOS and crash.

All I can say right now to solve your problems is, do you have a disk in a disk drive that has a startup file on it? I made TekOS reboot at times to prevent a stack overflow, because right now I have really no idea how to prevent that. So make sure that you don't have a startup file on the disk. Also, make sure that the startup file that TekOS makes isn't deleted, or capitalized, since I haven't fixed it to download it as "startup" instead of "Startup" yet. (Because it wasn't always case sensitive).

If anyone would like to add their own contributions to this OS or help out with it, that would be awesome.

Sure make some and I'll add it to the OS for you

Just note, that the current version is not really designed for people to add their own programs to the OS, but the next version should have that capability, meaning that you can add your own programs.

Also, be aware that there currently is no helpful API for you to design a program for it...but that will also be added in a future update.

Just a question. Is there a way possible you could only allow so many commands(or whatever they're called) from one IP per minute, So people can't spam your server so much?

No. At the moment it does not support the Tekkit version.

Seems really cool! I'll try it out

I'll try it out, and if I include it in my program I'll make sure to give you credit

I think that you may have to write text to the screen to change the background color. I don't think it changes without that

Thanks. This will help me out a lot!

It is ok. I have to figure out a password encryption and I will also make the server computer more secure.

x0pk1n, on 02 January 2013 - 07:35 AM, said:

Yeah I know that. It is impossible to completely protect a computer from someone, which means that no matter what they can always be able to get that stuff. If you haven't noticed, most password programs on the forums have a few posts as to why it is impossible to protect a computer. But I really, really appreciate you releasing that on my post for everyone. :/

E-Mail Network

Current Version: 0.1

Download: Server | Client

I have made an E-Mail Network. It features user accounts, and a server to contain all the user account info. This includes their messages, which makes it so that the user does not have to access their account on the same computer. As of now this program is in an early stage, and should still be improved upon and made better. Feedback is always appreciated, enjoy.

Planned Features:

How to enable HTTP:

Changelog:

You can use something like a repeat loop, or even a while loop.

Repeat loop:

i = 8
repeat
 -- code
 i = i - 1
until i < 1

While loop:

i = 8
while not i == 0 do
 -- code
 i = i - 1
end

Both of those loops should work, and only loop 8 times. Hope I helped!

Ah, stupid mistake, sorry.

Just so you know, I'm not sure if this has been suggested before!

I think that it would be VERY neat if there was a way implemented into computercraft that allowed someone to "import" or "burn" a disk.

To import a disk the person would simply insert a floppy disk/record, and be able to import it into the computer. This doesn't mean when they insert it, it does it right away, but perhaps there could be a program. The API for it would be in the disk API, and it would be "disk.import("side", "dest.") ". You wouldn't be able to edit the imported song, but when it would be ran it would play the song as if it were a record in the disk drive.

Also, I think you should be able to download custom music and put it onto a computer, like you can with one of the spoutcraft plugins. It would be something related with the "http,get()" thing, But could only be written, not edited. This would be useful for listening to your own music, but the extension would be .ogg. This means that you should also be able to put music onto a floppy disk. Or even an "iPod" or something like that.

To burn a disk you would do the same type of thing, but you would use "disk.write("filename", "side") ". However, you wouldn't be able to write to a record, only a floppy disk or something similar.

I don't know how you guys would feel about this, but I think that it would be really cool, and if it can't be added then there should be a peripheral made :3.

Perhaps, but they just need one of their own to attach to the computer.

rhyleymaster, on 09 December 2012 - 08:12 PM, said:

I've tried that, and they still only hold it down for 1 second, and it turns off the computer no matter what.

Let's not post 50 replies saying that there is a way to prevent Ctrl + S... It's impossible, same with Ctrl + R. The only thing that can be disabled is Ctrl + T. That just exits the program.

MemoryLeak21, on 09 December 2012 - 02:29 PM, said:

You can't because people can hold Ctrl + S

I agree, API's are really a pain. Because I can never get them to work :l

Mikk809h, on 09 December 2012 - 03:06 AM, said:

How about just having an online pastebin/dropbox file, containing the encryption? Have it download the encryption, but never actually have the encryption in the file. That way it would make it so something couldn't figure out the encrytion (As easily).

Also, it is impossible to lock anything in computercraft if you know what you're doing, but I made this because I was bored, not because it is 100% secure. Nothing on computercraft is.

MemoryLeak21, on 08 December 2012 - 08:34 AM, said:

What's the point of calling an empty variable, though? That is, if they aren't a boolean value, or whatever those are...

cheekycharlie101, on 07 December 2012 - 09:03 PM, said:

Not talking about set code. I'm talking about basically hosting files, and folders that can be edited. Say, an online user system? So the users could send each other messages through the internet, rather than just on a server.

You could probably do something like this too, if you wanted: (With a while loop)

while UseLoop do
  -- What you want to be repeated while UseLoop is true...
end

How you would use this loop?

UseLoop = true -- Enables loop

-- And

UseLoop = false -- Disables loop

While we're talking about server stuff... Is it possibly to have an FTP host/HTTP storage host? So you could have literally global computercraft files? Like dropbox? I think that'd be incredibly useful, for many people.
