They are added in MiscPeripherals, that thread is probably just as good for info, compared to anything I could say.

#115392 Apis for added turtles?

Posted by cheekycharlie101 on 05 May 2013 - 05:15 AM in Ask a Pro

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to put this so i apoligise if it is. But my question is: can someone explain how to use the custom turtles in Feed The Beast, There are turtles that have things like mining lasers attached and i have no idea how to use them. There is nothing on the FTB Wiki so can someone please link me to an api or something? Thanks

The main reason I think it won't be added, is because it does not fit with the spirit of the mod. There are only so many things that can be added without making the mod completely different than the current concept. Adding colors was a huge change to the mod, and I it had been turned down so many times before. Adding fonts or text styles does not, and will not fit with this mod AT ALL.
I don't profess to have any meaningful input on the mod, but I believe that Cloudy and Dan would say pretty much the same.

"belive that cloudy and dan WOULD say pretty much the same" honestly it would help if they gave reasons to denying suggestions. I mean, just saying "No." does not give much of an input and new users to the CC mod and forums would not know exactly what would be the concept of the mod and i dont think it would make them feel very welcome when they just see "No." at the bottom of there topic and there topic locked. just saying, could be a little more friendly..

Colors have already made a lot of applications more difficult. Originally, all you needed was an array of bytes to store store to save the state of the screen. With the addition of color, you now need to store that metadata, either as separate tags or just a per character "color array".

would that be the same with standard computers though as they have no color settings

I'm saying no to your question. We don't have to write our own interpreter - there are others.

could you give me an input on the actual suggestion? saying "No." with out a quote or anything just makes it look like your denying the suggestion entirly

whats luaJ ?

LuaJ is what Cloudy and Dan use to interpret Lua commands within java. It's a bit clunky and annoying to deal with from what I hear, and their plan is to move away from their dependency on it.

but in order to do that wouldnt they have to write their own version of lua and maybe there own interpreter? im not entirly sure how that would be possible?

In Lua a string is just a sequence of bytes. It doesn't matter if those bytes are 0, 1, 97, 200, they all work. However, LuaJ seems to have bugs when those bytes are over 127.

So in theory, as soon as ComputerCraft is no longer dependent on LuaJ, we would be able to add such things?

#63777 CommuteOS!

Posted by cheekycharlie101 on 24 December 2012 - 10:34 AM in General

I have some code, but compared to you guys its probally very basic. one more thing is, why not get a teamspeak3 server? instead of irc people can use there voices. this would be much better for sharing ideas ete.i have a disk manager to wipe, clone and re label disks if you would like to embed that? also a nice login screen. the last thing i got is a wireless turtle control using a menu UI, but thats all i really got. just ask if you want any of it, note the programs in my signature are very outdated. if you would like the code il post it here, dont use the shit in my signature:P, im willing to help develop it if you want?

Cloudy, on 24 December 2012 - 01:53 AM, said:

Why would that be useful? You can just put the command into the command block and run it.

Because, there are soo many suggestions that only a few people need you should make a thread where people can request certain mods/peripherlals/apis ete so they can have their functions and stuff and the community could make them. i just think this would be useful as you could have suggestions for the main mod and requests that if they get made others can use as well? could you perphaps try this?

#63429 textutils.setFont()?

Posted by cheekycharlie101 on 23 December 2012 - 10:34 AM in Suggestions

PixelToast, on 22 December 2012 - 04:59 PM, said:

pixel editing would allow custom font rendering
just giving people fonts wouldnt be challenging enough

and yea, we JUST added color support
thats enough for now .-.

accent marks would be nice though
it would give support for many languages

The problem with that is would lua reconise a character with an accent? lua is its own unique language, the same as Enlgish, French, german. so what you siad does not really make sense. in theory it does not need accents as lua is its own language. its like saying, we should add a new letter to the English alphabet

I'd support font styling (italics, bold, underline), but an entirely different font usually wouldn't fit CC in most circumstances.

i made that suggestion a while ago and cloudy just replied "No." then locked the topic. didnt even tell me why he denied it but oh well

Try to make a 7 pixel hight italic/bold font then, Cloudy explained that before.

i have not heard of such an explanation. how ever, couldnt you just make it the same height just 1 pixel wider? wouldn't that look bold. or make room for letters that are more than 7 pixels high. so the max height could be 9 or something? i honestly think that this should be added to CC

could we get a couple more fonts added to CC? just think you could use it to make thing stand out. then you could use something likes textutils.setFont()
print("aewdfhalh")
and it would print it in a different font?
just think it could be nice to make different parts of programs stand out a little more and give them a little bit more style?
could this be possible?

Unlikely to happen. Often, a question will seem to be solved, but a new issue will arise with the same piece of code. I'd rather they continue to use the same topic than to start a new one for each and every question they run into with a single piece of code. Solved is a tricky status to determine.

This is a good point. many times i have had one issue solved then a next issue has come up that i also need help with. perphaps we could give the creator of the topic to mark it solved, or introduce a forum rule saying you must [SOLVED] in the title of your post if it has been solved? this would be good

#57565 Attempt to call string.

Posted by cheekycharlie101 on 08 December 2012 - 07:29 AM in Ask a Pro

ok so i have this code:

local path = "entrys"
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Please enter an entry name...")
write("Name: ")
local name = io.read()
local exist = fs.exists(path "/", name)
if exist then
  print("Entry Already Exists.")
else
print("Entry Ok")

as im sure you can work out, you enter a name then it goes and checks to see if it exists in the entrys folder. if it does it prints:
entry already exists
if it does not exist it prints:
Entry Ok.
but i get an error on the IF statment line saying
"attempt to call string".
i think there is a problem with the exist varible but cant work out what it is?
can anyone help me out a little?
thanks -Cheeky

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.

just use pastebin and the HTTP api.

#57037 option to NOT need gps hosts.

Posted by cheekycharlie101 on 06 December 2012 - 09:00 AM in Suggestions

i know gps hosts make things a little more fun and less over powerd. but i can you guys add a option in the config so that you dont need them. so for instance i could do turtle.goToCords(x, y, z) and it would go to it. i really need to use this on my server but dont want to have GPS hosts all over my map. please please please please please please add this. i dont mind if it is turned of by default because of over powerd reasons, but please try and add this.
thanks -Cheeky

if the server turns it into a string couldn't you just print the string at the other end? or would i need to turn it back into a table

#57003 rednet.reply()?

Posted by cheekycharlie101 on 06 December 2012 - 06:55 AM in Suggestions

could the function rednet.reply() be inplemented. so if you type rednet.reply("I Got Your Message") it could send that to the id that last sent you a message. just an idea can could be useful for private chats ete.

When you read a script it is a string. So all you have to do is send it to the computer.
Client:

local args = {...}
for k,v in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
  rednet.open(v)
end
if #args ~= 2 then
  error("Usage: "..shell.getRunningProgram.." <path> <send ID>")
end
if not fs.exists(args[1]) then
  error("File does not exist.")
end
f = fs.open(args[1], "r")
local file = f.readAll()
f.close()
rednet.send(args[2], file)

Server:

local args = {...}
if #args ~= 2 then
  error("Usage: "..shell.getRunningProgram.." <save file> <ID>")
endfor k,v in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
  rednet.open(v)
end
while true do
  id, msg = rednet.receive()
  if id == args[2] then
	f = fs.open(args[1], "w")
	f.write(msg)
	f.close()
	break
  end
end

This is all basic and you should get the basic idea of it.

thanks. also can you help me with receiving a list.
i did this code on my computer:

for i,v in pairs(fs.list("/") do
print(v)
end

and it showed all the directories and files as it should. but when i tried sending "v" over rednet when it was received it would only print the first program. any idea why this is happening?

Are you trying to edit files irl or on another cc computer?

send files from one CC computer to another CC computer acting as a server. then the server can send them back to you or another client computer
