Computer Rule Board

[bocaj1234567]

Basically, I want my rules to show on monitors. How do I save my script? Could I make the script out of game? How do I make the script run on that specific computer on startup?

[disconsented]

C = 0

sTime = 1



function PrintMessage(message)

    print(message)

    sleep(sTime)

end



while C ~= 0 do

PrintMessage("1")

PrintMessage("2")

PrintMessage("3")

PrintMessage("4")

end

Just change the sTime to the delay between messages

Change 1,2,3 and 4 to your rules.

If you want extra rules just copy and paste the PrintMessage("1") function and change the message to print.

Would that make the code run at restart? How do I save that? Where do I write it? Thank you.

You gotta save it as

startup

The code exists on the server inside a 'computer' folder that is inside the world save, separated into the id of the computer/turtle the program is on (e.g. for the client on a single player world called "World", editing startup on the first computer they create: <tekkit folder>/saves/World/computer/0/startup). They are just text files, so open them with Notepad (I would recommend Notepad++ (Windows) or TextWrangler (OS X) instead of notepad).

How can I tell what number in the computer folder is the computer that I am using?

Start up your computer, without starting a program type "lua", then type "os.getComputerID()", without the speech marks of course. If you get that in properly, it'll give you your computer number.

OK thanks a lot. When I looked in the computer folders, though, I didn't find any startup files for any of the computers. Should I create the file?

[theprolo]

Yeah, just create the file in notepad etc.

Using the edit start up, will it also re-run when the server is restarted?

Only if the chunk gets loaded.

That's great! I will use this in my server then!

What's your server?

[lukeb28]

Its industrial age. Its coming up soon for white list and eventually public. we have one more slot for beta testers if your interested.

Oh OK. I own the server zeus.tekkithost.com:25573. I would like to be a beta tester...

There is no one on the server ATM cause it just crashed (if you go on about now) but there were 27.

Not us. We haven't even posted on the forum yet. I'm actually trying to do that now. just Pm me like a normal whitelist app and I'll see what I can do.

Wait a second.... don't I have to specify the monitor?

Looking at it now... Your Right! What kind of code is this? This just won't do for my server!

... It "won't do"? It just requires a simple change I think.

I have no clue how to code with LUA. If you know the mod that needs to be made to it, why don't you post it?

[theprolo]

I'll post one for you, which will hopefully work better. Don't make this one your startup command:

print("Message 1")

print("Message 2")

print ("etc.")

 

Then there's your startup function:

 

side = "right"--change to whatever side your monitor is on

shell.run("monitor", side, "Original program name")

That should work for you. Copy the print statements in the first one to add more rules, and remember to change the last part of the shell.run to your original programs name.

Thanks for the help. Funny thing is a little while ago I made a thread asking this same question and never got a response.

I must have not been online

If that hits an error, just post it here.

I can't do it now but I will ASAP.
