Linear_Spoon Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Could you link to the video or screenshot that you saw, please? I would assume it's a home-made program but I could probably recreate it if I knew what it did/looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linear_Spoon Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I believe they might have it hooked up to computercraft sensors for the weather reading but I haven't read much into how to use that yet. It looks like they just manually edit the text on screen. Here is an example program to do the same: --This is a comment, it will not be interpretted as code --All you need to do to display your own custom text is edit --this code. Leave the functions startMonitor() and print() --as well as these local variables below local line_number = 0 local monitor, width, height function startMonitor() sides = rs.getSides() for k, v in pairs(sides) do if peripheral.isPresent(v) and peripheral.getType(v) == "monitor" then monitor = peripheral.wrap(v) monitor.clear() monitor.setTextScale(1) width, height = monitor.getSize() end end end function print(text) if line_number < height then line_number = line_number + 1 else monitor.scroll(1) end monitor.setCursorPos(1, line_number) monitor.write(text) end startMonitor() --Use this to find a monitor to connect to print("Good Morning and WELCOME to") --to print a line of text print("Ballistics") print("Assimilation") print("Research") print("Recon") print("and Yoga") print("- The B.A.R.R.Y. Initiative -") print("") print("You are here of your own free will.") print("The weather outside is: ERROR - Weather not") print("found.") print("You are here of your own free will.") print("") print("Today's Hot Research: Portable Cars") print("") print("Powered by Mushnet 2012") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
