There's actually an issue with the installation instructions, the link to the download for forge isn't actually the installer.
Also, I seem to be having issues with the download, (it's getting to no more than 10% (11,000 kb or so) before stopping. (I'm just downloading the files from github now...)

Computer Craft's file system is just your actual computer's file system. If your looking for the Java class that's used to access the real computer's file system, I believe you're looking for java.io.File

It should work fine, though you might need to remove the code that checks if parent == term (the code bellow), since I don't think earlier versions of CC had term.current
if parent == term then error( "term is not a recommended window parent, try term.current() instead", 2 ) end

string.dump is indeed the way to go, however I feel I should mention that most things that run lua won't let you load binaries (it's a huge security concern), though CC will.

Remember when you're calling old functions to do something with their value:
function fs.open(path, mode) oldfs.open(path, mode) --this will cause issues end function fs.open(path, mod) return oldfs.open(path, mode) --remembering to return the stuff endAlso, you say the OS drops everything but itself, what do you mean by this?

#193664 Read-Only Tables?

Ask a Pro
function readOnly(tbl)
return setmetatable({}, __index = tbl, __newindex =
function(self,key,value)
error("not modifyable")
end,__metatable={})
end
'__index' defines where/how to look up values'__newindex' defines where/how to set values
'__metatable' prevents me from using getmetatable and modifying it that way
if you're interested in more about metatables, you might like to look at http://www.lua.org/m...manual.html#2.8
There are a few issues with this though, like the fact that 'pairs' doesn't work, though it does do a better job of read-only than the CC's OS
#193662 Too long without yielding error

If I'm reading decompiled source code correctly, this is sort of what happens:
A soft abort seems to throw an error when you attempt to call a java-defined lua function (so things like turtle, term, and peripheral).
A hard abort seems to just throw an error, not really caring where in the code you are.
start computer
wait 5000 milliseconds
if (computer is still running) {
soft abort
wait 1250 milliseconds
if (computer is still running) {
hard abort
wait 1250 milliseconds
if (computer is still running) {
force kill computer
}
}
}
(when it waits, it can exit early if the computer yields)A soft abort seems to throw an error when you attempt to call a java-defined lua function (so things like turtle, term, and peripheral).

Since you're trying to use the webpage meant for people, you'd need to parse https://github.com/login and send it back the hidden values it generates along with your username and password. So I think it'd be something along the lines of
http.post("https://github.com/login","utf8="..utf8.."&authenticity_token="..authenticity_token.."&login="..username.."&password="..password)
Though if possible, you should probably try and use GitHub's api.

#193212 Open Peripheral Glasses Colour Codes?

OpenPeripheral's Terminal Glasses actually use a number encoding of rgb (0xrrggbb). So red would be 0xff0000, green would be 0x00ff00, blue would be 0x0000ff, and sky blue (according to wikipedia) would be 0x87CEEB
So yeah, the display column, just with an '0x' (for hexadecimal) instead of '#'

#192869 Need a little bit help (problem with disk drives)

The reason you're getting that error is because diskSideTest returns null if it can't find anything, which disk.isPresent then tries to use and errors.
You can't have multiple threads running at once, but lua does have something called coroutines, which can be used to implement multi-tasking (as multishell and the parallel API do). Though for your example purpose, you'd be better off just starting a timer and checking to see if the event pulled was that timer.
You can "pastebin put <filename>" to upload a file to pastebin and "pastebin get <code> <filename>" to download a file from pastebin. Though if you're in a single-player world you can just modify the files in world-save/computer/computer-id and I'm not sure entirely what you mean by more easily? You could probably create a shortcut to the folder.

Huh, I wonder what issue is causing it to return nil (if github didn't require https one could probably just watch it in wireshark). I think I remember hearing about some versions of ComputerCraft having issues if both postData and headers are used in a single request.

Well that sucks, makes me wonder how popular servers manage to run CC computers at any decent speed though. (maybe people just aren't doing the ridiculous sort of things I like to do)
Is there any reason it's implemented as such?

I'm wondering if ComputerCraft actually does multitasking (I know it doesn't on a single CC computer). I feel like I've heard things about, though CC uses threads, it only running one at once. I'm trying to decide whether or not it would be worth it to make a bank of computers to allow executing processes faster (rendering 1300+ points from 3d to 2d (using OpenPeripheral Terminal Glasses) is kinda slow, as is 1900+ for drawing a terminal with Terminal Glasses)

Yeah, scopes tend to confuse me a bit as well. I'd personally probably just check if it works if I let it do everything first, then try to cut back on the scopes.

According to the documentation, it only needs pull access, so I'd go with no. It makes sense when you think about the issues section as bug reports, you'd generally like to be able to have testers that can't just modify the official sources however they wish.

if you go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new you can create a token for yourself, and since you can set the scope you can severely limit what someone with the token can do.

Sorry, but when you say the above shouldn't be used, what else do I put there, or is it not necessary, as you can see I'm very much new to Internet Apis etc within computer craft, I've only ever done GitHub downloading, I hope I can get your code to work, just for classification, what is the auth and oauth etc...
Like you said, the first part is very insecure, I don't want people knowing my password to GitHub, whether it is a seperate account or not, it would still have push access etc...

You'd just leave that part blank, that's why it's commented out. Instead you'd just fill in the oauthToken part with the value of your token. Though according to the github api documentation, you don't actually need push access to make an issue, you only need pull access.
