<div style="padding: 0em 1em;">
<p>CCDesk is a user-extendable, flexible, in-development emulation environment and development workspace for ComputerCraft. CCDesk provides support for both Computers and the
native ComputerCraft peripherals and networking. Using CCDesk's open API (<i>info soon</i>), developers can quickly port ComputerCraft peripherals into the emulator and write
tools - such as inline-wiki search, for example - into the user workspace.</p>
<p><span><br /></span></p>
<p>The emulator supports "<i>Networked Mode</i>" - a TCP-driven emulator session sharing mode, allowing for a new level of shared
project development. Sessions can be shared between the internal Local Area Network, or even across the internet, and a dedicated server module for server hosts is
available for this purpose.</p>

<div style="padding: 0em 1em;">
<ul>
<li><b>Q: I use a Mac - will this work for me?</b><p></p>
Mac is officially fully supported as of PR 6.2. The latest development version of LWJGL - version 2.9.x - fixes most Mac related issues.</li>
<li><b>Q: I want to do <i>x</i> with the emulator!</b><p></p>
It's great to hear you want to help extend the workspace! The Developer API will offer you all the tools and access you need to write and extend the emulator - you don't
need to modify internal classes or "mod" the emulator's internal files.</li>
<li><b>Q: Is this a copy of ComputerCraft Emulator?</b><p></p>
No. The code used to produce this emulator is completely unique - in order to have an open API, flexible code had to be written - including rendering.</li>
</ul>

<div style="padding: 0em 1em;">
<ul>
<li><b>Q: What's your time frame on the API?</b><p></p>
I'm unsure as of yet - the bulk of the emulator still needs work in order to offer proxy to plugins and modules. While the API is already there and in the distributed code,
it's both un-finalized - you can look at it as a reference, but I make no guarantees.</li>
<li>
<b>Q: What license is this emulator under?</b><p></p>
Due to the fact that this is an extension to ComputerCraft (because of the nature of the emulator's function), the emulator will remain closed-source. The public portions
of the emulator, and the API itself, will be provided through friendly interfaces which represent actual classes which should be accessed by your code. If you want to do
something outside the bounds, <i>PM me</i> - I don't bite. You're most welcome to decompile and poke around and learn how the emulator functions internally - <i>sharing
knowledge is caring</i>!</li>

The API will allow you to write and alter the emulator internally (something like Forge does) and safely - you'll have access to rendering support, world ticking support, windows, computers and peripherals and user input. For the moment, the API is pretty rudimentary, but that will more than likely change in the next few releases where I'll add native CC peripherals and networking.

Is this closed source since i wanna code one for mobiles

Yes, this is closed source, although porting to mobile devices is on my todo-list.

I must say, this seems like it is going to be very, very, good! I cant wait for a desktop version :D/> and I love the html post. never even thought about doing it :P/>

I'm hoping to fix this exception (and most Mac issues) by updating the distributed LWJGL to 2.9.0 - which is a developer release, but appears to fix the issues. There are some OpenGL related issues on Fedora (and possibly other unix-like systems) which will also be fixed, hopefully.

Of course, it's brilliant. Expected no less, received no less. Look forward to seeing this as it comes along. :)/>

I'll be looking forward to great things coming on this. I don't see myself mucking about with the API that much, so anything will do as long as I can run this at my work computer. That's the only reason I want web emulators, is so I can run code at work.

This is just cool!

PR2 should be out hopefully this weekend - with a much better launcher (pic) and fixed HTTP support (pic). Hoping to fix some more rendering quirks too (pic, red characters are mine and white are the correct places they should be), and get Mac users up and running.

I posted a bug…

Because Chrome is (strangely) 32-bit, when almost all other OS X applications are 64-bit, Java isn't supported on it. And I can't really be bothered installing it on Safari or Firefox.
So anyway, I'm just using my PC to use it.

Computers will only create if you've pressed the OK button. The "ID" box will actually become a multiform, allowing you to enter either a label or an ID (or pick from the list of labelled computers).

Have a lovely video of me doing some bugfixing. If you guys like this kind of stuff - and I know this video isn't the best, I should have used a faster snapshot interval - I'll keep making them. Anyway, this is me fixing depth and rendering layers for PR2 - which will hopefully be ready to go this weekend!

I love how much better the color is on this. Though there are massive amounts of flickering on some programs with more drawing operations, it's only a beta, so that's to be expected.

If you can give me some examples of programs which flicker, that'd be greatly appreciated. I probably either did something wrong in my derpy rendering or something else somewhere, so tracking it down is a high priority.

How do you delete a computer in the desktop version?

I only tested my Canvas program. The same would probably happen with oeed's OS, and maybe Lyqyd's, but to a lesser degree.

I haven't been able to replicate this issue at my end. The only thing I can suggest is that you ensure other OpenGL applications (such as Minecraft or other emulators) aren't open - it does have some strange resource issues. You should also try the Desktop version, as the browser itself may be doing something unusual - a common occurrence the last few days.

If this doesn't fix the problem, then I'll need to do more testing for the next release.

This has been reported over and over and over. It's not a bug, it's an intended test function to make sure the emulator handles stopping correctly if it crashes.

Don't touch the debug menu unless you've been asked/need to. The options are there to test internals.

I found why I cannot move it. and reported it.

So apparently Mac is causing me many levels of issues - most seem to relate back to rendering problems. At least it doesn't explode really badly! I'm also debugging that weird browser issue where the applet seems to render over all tabs - which is weird and unexpected, but hey, we're talking Java here.

A good place to be looking is the issue tracker right now. https://bitbucket.org/AfterLifeLochie/deskcc/issues

Actually, you shouldn't. It's still a pre-release, so you can use it if you want to test and report bugs, but it's not yet suitable to replace CCEmu.
Now, when it gets finished, it will have some more features. Read the op again, there's an explanation of it's features (like the api and peripherals support).

btw, nice work Lochie, really looking forward to see this completed.

Yea, at the moment I'm not really using it because of three main things.
1. I'm on a Mac, I haven't really run in to any problems with this, however.
2. You can't use this with out an internet connection, and mine is horrendous.
3. Feature wise, it's not really any different to CCEmu.

Now, when it get's peripherals and this API, it will be a different story.
But good work.

As MysticT said so perfectly, you probably shouldn't yet. There is still a lot of work to be done, a long list of issues to be fixed completely, and who knows what else - aside the features to add.

Peripherals are, in fact, partially supported, and I'm spending today doing optimization of core emulation code. Hopefully I can stamp out some of these weird issues I've been having regarding load speed and performance - which stem from LWJGL. I had hoped using 2.9.0 LWJGL would fix most issues, and it has - as the emulator does now run - albeit buggily - on Mac, but it's introduced some performance issues I do need to address.

Other than that, you can expect Monitors and Disk Drives next - assuming everything continues to run to plan.

Don't complain about the html post. Just bask in it's splendor.

You could just request a moderator to set the html of your post, if they are willing that it. (I presume they can do that)

I'm not familiar at all with IP.Board but maybe if you have a certain number of posts or up votes you can post HTML topics.

So back on topic, I'm about to release PR 3.2, which hopefully addresses issues regarding system performance only - eg, the "fps" and other CPU munching issues. Please let me know if this does improve performance so I can continue bug fixing.

Thanks to all of you for all your support - the API and working Monitor peripherals are next on the to-do list!

Those have actually been added but aren't included in PR 3.1 or PR 3.2, which were bug and resource fixing mostly. This means I'll probably end up going PR 3.3 and who knows from there.

Could you pleaseeeeeeeeeeee port to iOS? I really want to use this on my iPad :D/>

You do not know how much work is required to go and 'port' a Java application to any mobile device, let alone an iOS device… its not as simple as pressing a button and bang its ported, it essentially requires an entire remake of program and all its apis from the bottom up… it is a little easier for an Android device, however even that is harder than you would expect… imho iOS is the hardest of the lot to port… there are lots of other design choices that need to be made and its not just a simple 'port'…

Yea, it is almost impossible to port. You would literally have to completely rewrite it.

amtra5, on 01 April 2013 - 08:16 PM said:

It's not going to be possible to port to iOS because I don't want to relearn Objective-C, and code ComputerCraft and the Emulator again from scratch in that language. Java applications can't be ported to iOS because iOS doesn't run Java. Android, does however - and so they'll get a port eventually.

Spoiler

Also, spoiler for next release.

I know Objective C - but the fact of the matter is, you're practically shooting yourself in the foot by having to rewrite CC and the Emulator, an incredibly daunting and ridiculously insane task. While being possible, it's well and truly something that only someone with way too much spare time would be able to do, because you're rewriting just about everything in a chaotic flurry. Pass, thanks. :P/>

Those screenshots! Me want! Awesome!!!!

Anyways, in PR4 or PR3.3 can you add copy paste into the terminal? Currently I can't paste things so I have to manually type PB codes etc. and I'm a very lazy guy, so that's a lot to ask.

EDIT: also found bug (on Windows 7 Home Premium and desktop version). If you have not maximised the window and you move a computer the top of the computer will look weird whilst dragging it. I used an advanced computer on ID 0 with HTTP enabled on the latest version of CCDesk.

Objective-C is awesome and actually has been around for a very long time, iirc around the same time as C++ (i.e. before Java and its copy C++++ (a.k.a. C#))… so its an oldie and a goodie… square brackets FTW!

I just tested this and I don't have this behaviour - arrow keys and PgUp / PgDown functions correctly. Unless you have a strange keyboard I don't see why this would happen - I don't translate or adjust keyboard events for computers.

Mouse scrolling.
Didn't actually test my keyboard

Ah, that makes more sense. And yes - this is because mouse is reported as "backwards" to CC for some reason.

Fixed for next release.

After spending the day doing more debugging, rewriting and testing, the API and fully functional peripherals are almost ready for release. API documentation will be on the writing tomorrow, and then a release by Sunday, hopefully.

I've also rewritten the CCDesk Website. It's now 100% less unattractive and includes a lot of the information from this thread. Go, explore!

@AfterLifeLochie a simple solution for mac users that have Java 1.7 and don't want to uninstall it download the file located here and run it to launch CCDesk. Just be sure to place this file wherever you have your desktop.jar located (e.g. desktop.jar is on the desktop so place your new launch file CCDesk.sh on the desktop and run it). Please tell me if you encounter any problems with this method.

Note: all this file does is access java 1.6 on your mac system and uses it to launch desktop.jar

P.S. If you have trouble launching this file using terminal then download this application here (TextWrangler) and open your new launch file with it and click on the #! button at the top of the screen and select "Run" not "Run…", "Run in Terminal", or "Run File…" just "Run"

I've had to remove your link as we're not supposed to distribute actual executable scripts such as that on the forums. As far as starting in debugging, there is actually a debug launcher which I've been using. If people have issues then they've mostly been getting in touch with me to get it fixed.

This emulator works without tweaking on Mac with JRE 1.7 - because I'm using the very latest LWJGL. Please don't try and run it in 1.6 unless you actually have issues with it.

PR5 is now out - the CCDesk API is open for business! You can download the documentation and instructions for PR5 API development here.

Yay let's code some stuff!

Apparently there's issues with rendering on Mac again. If you have these issues, try and delete the `Application Support/.ccdesk` folder, and restart the program. If this doesn't help, launch the launcher in a Console or XTerm with `java -jar desktop.jar` and let me know if there's any crashes.

Not getting any rendering bugs except for the black background again. deleted the folder ran again, same problem. only exception raised is first run where it cannot find the manifest file.

The loader will probably throw an exception if it can't read the manifest - and should theoretically download everything and the manifest, so that's okay.

Strange, people have reported not being able to see anything at all - although I have no idea how this bug has actually been reintroduced, let alone what causes it.

Hmmm very odd. wonder what Java and OSX they have…..

I'm currently working on state-saving - open computers, computer properties and peripheral properties should (hopefully!) be able to be saved and reloaded dynamically between emulator sessions - meaning you can resume your last session from where it was last!

Yes,Talking about Java
For clarity, I am making an Lua IDE that will launch your applet if the user pressed Test application.

CCDesk PR6 is out - fixing several security and sandboxing issues, and problems with the launcher. It now also provides visual feedback when starting up, so you're not left waiting with a blank screen.

You will need to download the latest version of the launcher, as the previous one (PR1 -> PR5) won't work with Prerelease 6 and above, due to security changes.

(Edit: Developers, note – the CCDesk API changed. The next API specification and javadocs are up at the CCDesk site.)

You'd have to implement that Lua-side, as I'm not actually responsible for the Lua environment (and files which are left open are automatically closed by CC on computer shutdown anyway). Just replace the fs and io open functions with wrappers.

Finally got it to work for me! The computer's weren't showing up, but once I resized the window they worked!

Could you have making a new CPU auto-resize canvas to how big it already is? That might fix it… :/

Make sure your JAR file has a custom MANIFEST.MF file at the root of the JAR - and not in /META-INF/, and that the class name is a full path (eg, net.afterlifelochie.package.entry becomes net/afterlifelochie/package/entry). If you still have issues, PM me your code as a ZIP and I'll check I've not made an error somewhere.

I used the example plugin, I attached you the compiled jar of that at the issue tracker, maybe I compiled it wrong or something.

Now that I have the plugin I can debug this – there is an issue I've confirmed, but as to why it's occurring I don't know yet. Theoretically speaking it should be functioning, and you're the only person who has managed to export something which causes this. Hang tight!

EDIT: This issue is now officially fixed as of PR6.1 due to a mystery compile-time issue. Hopefully this fixes plugins!

Wow looks very nice!

I use this all the time in replacement of cc-emu because of the peripheral system!

When going to a different tab the applet stays on top. This is really anoying. Is it possible to fix that?

It's a render or AWT-related bug I've yet to come up with a fix for. It's being investigated, though.

I'm assuming its the same bug as the one that causes all your menu drop-downs to float on the top when switching applications too?

I think so. It's likely some behaviour I've missed or something in the launcher distribution – this is going to require a lot of digging.

No. Originally I assumed it to be a Webkit issue, as this happens in Chrome and in Safari.

Either the canvas, the internal panel, or something else is causing the internal LWJGL canvas to be on top.

Yeh its definitely not just webkit, since I get it with the app.

Btw I cannot remember if i commented on the report or not, but still getting the loading issue on Safari even after deleting the support files.

Wait – is it only happening inside the applet? Weird, I'm sure I fixed that a while back. I'll do some more digging again. Does the desktop version do this, too?

Nope the desktop version is working perfectly fine, its just the web applet.

The only thing I can suggest is turning on the Applet Console for web browsers - in the Java Control Panel there's an option for it somewhere. I'm not sure about the specifics for Mac as I don't use it often, but if you can determine some sort of crash in that console then it's the likely cause of all these browser issues.

Ok I'll report it when I find it.

Thanks for the help, I ported my first peripheral to CCDesk now. Good luck with the project, I'll be keeping an eye on it!

Nice!

Thanks for the support guys! It's good to see people porting peripherals and testing the new API out.

There's going to be another update tonight hopefully - no spoilers on new features, though bugs due to terminal funkyness (such as mouse clicking), a monitor rendering issue, and active-window highlighting are fixed completely this release. It's also no longer possible to have windows become "stuck" on each other, and dragging windows can be done on the first click now.

For developers, unfortunately, this change will break most plugins for PR6.1 and so you'll need to tweak them - only simple modifications (such as static-access changes) need to be made. Be sure to update your `deskcc-core.jar` file in your IDE before submitting bugs.

I Love it! :P/>

CCDesk Prerelease 6.2 is out - with 100% more bugfixes, window display fixing, mouse-event fixes, render improvements and a proper splash-screen interface – and teasers for the next update!

As always, you can download the latest Developer API from the CCDesk site. Please remember – if you find bugs, report them at the tracker. Go wild!

I've started using CCDesk instead of CCEmu and I can tell difference: It's way better :D/>

PS Yay update

Fount a bug:

Spoiler

If you click somewhere in that area, your active computer changes into computer which should be closed a long time ago (actually hides and shows old one). Clicking again undoes is.

Right click the computers border -> peripheral properties -> put a monitor on one of the sides.

Can't wait to see what Connect to Server will do!

Just a note: if the crash emulator button is suppositie to crash and show a crash screen. It doesn't. I can only see the error cause i run Java from the commandline because I can't seem to find a way to uninstall the headless version of openjdk.

Maybe apt-get purge openjdk-version_here ?

oh and also my screen flickers when I close it. I am using ubuntu

Hey AfterLifeLochie,

I don't know if there were some posts about the following mouse bugs since your last post that might've been gobbled up due to "the missing week" incident.
So if these issues were already mentioned, my apologies. ^_^/>


CC only creates mouse_drag events if the mouse is dragged from one pixel to another pixel.
CCDesk creates mouse_drag events on all mouse movements, even when they are only happening within the same pixel.

CC's mouse_scroll event returns the proper coordinates for x and y.
CCDesk's mouse_scroll event returns the coordinates x + 1 and y + 1.

CC's mouse coordinates won't surpass screen coordinates, even if the mouse is dragged outside of the screen.
CCDesk's mouse coordinates can surpass screen coordinates by 1 if the mouse is dragged outside of the screen.

Mouse click events will be the death of me.

These things will hopefully be fixed when I'm done writing PR7. I may end up fixing it and pushing it in a PR6.x update, but PR7 is completely different to PR6.

Try running it through the terminal. It fixed any issues for me. :P/>

Open up Terminal (under /Applications/Utilities) and type:

java -jar 

Then drag and drop the .jar file you downloaded into the Terminal window, and it's full path should appear. Then hit enter and it'll run!

You may want to make a simple shell script to run it, so you can just double click on the shell script instead of typing that into terminal every time. Put your ccdesk.jar file in a reliable place (say, in /Applications), and put this inside a file called "Launch CCDesk.command" or something like that (just make sure there's a .command at the end):

java -jar /Applications/ccdesk.jar &

The &amp; at the end will stop a Terminal window from lingering around after you double click the file.

In light of the (accidental) server derpyness here, there's been calls to setup an official CCDesk Wiki, now that I'm back from my "vacation". There appear to be quite a few bugs to do with mouse events and computers, which should be fixed when I'm done rewriting the majority of the emulator due to the whole server/client split.

Anyway, to elaborate - things are really getting there. I'm starting an official changelog and a few other things over on the Wiki, which should allow you all to keep track and understand my crazy ramblings, as well as setting up a server and other cool things you can do later down the track – feel free to jump in and edit stuff if you like!

To further update you, here's a screenshot of the emulators happily chatting together with an external server. I'm still alive and working flat out to get stuff done - and it's evidently starting to pay off – the networked emulation frontier is nearing fast!

Spoiler

(Whoops, I dun double-posted.)

Maybe you could add a link from CCDesk to CC in minecraft. Then when the servers come out, you can attend Lua lessons(from somewhere like CCU) even outside/inside of minecraft :D/> :P/>

Everything updates in real-time - the only difference between emulators being which ones you have open.

(Yes, I can open PC 1, you can open PC 2, and we can work separately. If I want to see what you're doing, I open PC 1 and the terminal buffer &amp; data to show me what PC 1 looks like at that exact moment is sent to me.)

You don't actually have all of Minecraft's overhead now. Cloudy and I were discussing the purely theoretical ability to connect CCDesk to a real Minecraft server, either via a fake-client or an actual module on top of CC - emphasis on theoretical.

So I wanted to emulate our server, which has cc-get installed in the rom. However, unpacking the jar causes it not to be able to find the rom, causing an error complaining about the CC install:


dan200.computer.core.FileSystemException: Unable to mount virtual filesystem. Please ensure you have installed ComputerCraft correctly.


Any ideas how to set that up right?

So I tried this, and I can't see the file I added in the rom:

~/.ccdesk/mods/computercraft/lua/rom$ ls
apis  help  programs  startup  test
~/.ccdesk/mods/computercraft/lua/rom$ cat test
this is a test

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

You should put your rom programs here:

Worked for me :3

I also tried putting something in that directory with no luck. :/

Figured it out, it wants the directory named ComputCraft, NOT computercraft. Case matters. Derp. Thanks for the help, you pointed me in the right direction. :)/>

Paths are case-sensitive, but I'm likely to change where you need to put custom ROM files in the future.

An update - after a long day of tinkering and cleaning code, chatting on the server is done - check out the screenshot. Next up - event system overhaul!

Spoiler

It is slightly glitchy on Debian Linux (specifically Linux Mint) and it does not seem to support computer labels. Apart from that, I love it!

While it's been a flat-out crazy week for me, as always, I can finally announce that PR7 client &amp; server will be ready pretty soon. Unfortunately, I've had to scrap some features and rewrite them, and some aren't yet completely rewritten - but I can't hold you all in limbo for much longer, I fear.

If PR7 doesn't come out today or tomorrow, expect it in the next week. There are just a few critical bugs to sort out - and then finishing the website update, so that won't take much longer (hopefully!).

Some really simple HTML tweaking usually does the job.

For developers - I'm not sure if the API is going to be entirely stable this release, as it's fundamentally been split into two. You don't need to complete a custom manifest file any-more either - so long as you use plugin_<name>.class anywhere in your bundle, and use the new @Plugin annotation, the emulator will find and load the plugin dynamically (yay, reflection magic!). If you're writing plugins which need network integration, you should use good 'ol Paket250CustomPayload, which behaves in the same way as Minecraft's implementation. Woo!

There's also a few more security based tweaks - it was noted that it wasn't possible to open the AWT Event Queue from a plugin, which made showing AWT or Swing dialogues impossible - this has now been fixed. While this release is uber-buggy and experimental, there's a huge change.

Its Glitchy

You can't insert HTML into your posts, obviously. It's also not BBCode, it's inline-HTML, and it works fine on all browsers. (I've been doing this for years now.)

Hmm… Hoped I could use the online version on my iPod, but I should have known, it needs java! Gotta find the rip-off version again… Sigh looks good though!

Unfortunately, Apple doesn't run Java applets. If it did, I'd still have to port stuff around in order to make the emulator actually work on an Apple filesystem. Fun fun!

Almost 24-hours ago, I tweeted this "spoiler" of the final stage of the next update. While you won't have to update to the latest launcher immediately when PR7 is released, after a few updates are released to PR7, you be notified your old launcher isn't compatible any-more and that you do need to update. It's going to be possible to select a version from the list as well, so development version updates aren't pushed to you immediately. On top of this, there's more user-interface tweaks and I'm fixing the majority of the 17 or so bugs on the tracker today or tomorrow. It's been a ridiculously long month of hard work, but we're nearly ready to push an update.

On top of this, CCDesk clicked 1000 downloads (1k) last night. This is the first of many milestones, and I'm excited to see this continuing to grow and expand.

Ooh, news board, exciting. :P/>
Great job, and congrats on 1k downloads!

Can I just say again my appreciation for this! I love the little things, and how much time and effort you're putting in it. And congrats on the 1k mark.

P.S. I love how ⌘+Q actually works unlike other Java applications *cough* Minecraft *cough* *cough* CC-Emu *cough*

After a month of long work, sweat and angry breaks, CCDesk PR7 with networking is released - networking, woohoo! Work with your friends in a collaborative, experimental environment across the great Internet! You will need to download the updated launcher (v3) before using CCDesk PR7. The new launcher allows you to switch between PR6.2 and PR7.0 and shows a beautiful new news-panel. If you want to setup a dedicated server, the latest server release is here. You may also need these helpful server-setup instructions on the CCDesk Wiki.

The CCDesk Website is now the hub for all accounts. While there aren't many features present, you will need an account to connect to non-local CCDesk servers.

Unfortunately, without having put in many more hours of work yet, CCDesk PR7.0 has some pretty severe limitations in this first release. Some events are fuzzy, and switching servers (apparently) requires a client restart. These somewhat serious bugs and issues will be fixed before the next release.

(I've re-written this post four times while struggling with the loginserver and accidentally closing this window, euck.)

I tried to start a server to work on a program with somebody, but I can not get everything to work together properly. I downloaded the deskcc-server.jar, put it in a folder, copied computercraft.jar from the ccdesk/bin folder in my appdata (because computercraft is distributed as a zip, not a jar), and used the command in the wiki in a .bat file to run it. The server starts up correctly, but when I try to connect to it the server says

[INFO] [net.deskcc.server.core.EmulatorServer] CCDesk Server starting up.

I assume this is because it wants me to login, but I don't see anywhere to put a username or password. The server also doesn't generate any config files to edit like it tells me to in the getting started section

EDIT: Fixed that problem (had to use the local ip address thing instead of 127.0.0.1), but now I have another problem. I already registered on the site but when I try to log in it says invalid username and/or password though I can log in on the site with the same info. When I click the 'No account?' page it sends me to a page saying 'Not Found'

When we try signing in to the server it doesn't work. It says "Invalid username and/or password combonation." We have account though,

Case-sensitivity allows for many, many more possible usernames to be used. It shouldn't be dropped because you have a crappy memory.

Who's testing this on Mac OS? It's a miserable mess on my MacBook Pro. When I close the program, it crashes in a frightening way that immediately halts the entire operating system in what appears to be a kernel panic. I haven't the slightest idea how this is possible (and I'm pretty good at figuring this stuff out), but on top of the crashes, the UI looks buggy. Buttons don't look right, and more importantly, the canvas with the computer screen doesn't show up until you resize the window. And when it does show up it is anywhere but the right location. It's sometimes too far up and above the menu bar, and sometimes too far down. Always too far to the right.

The errors you're describing can't actually (afaik) be caused directly by Java code. I need a full dump - open the "Debug" and use the "Crash Emulator" button - that way I can get accurate details about the system.

The computers displaying off the top and right, well anything canvas related, can be caused by 1.7 on Mac. The whole canvas system is stuffed up in 1.7…
Also ElvishJerricco what do you mean by kernel panic? A grey overlay on the screen with Multilanguage message telling you to hold the power button for 10 seconds is a kernel panic, is that what's happening?

Edit: Oh dear… Looks like ElvishJerricco was right… I'm getting a kernel panic too (Weird thing? It doesn't even have the multilingual screen at first. It hard reboots, then the screen pops up..). I would love to get you the details from the "Crash Emulator" button, but that crashes more than the app… :3 Any other way of getting those details to you?

So far trying to close it causes a Kernel Panic. Attempting to kill the process and see if that causes one..

Edit 2: Killing the process doesn't cause a Kernel Panic. (kill -9 pid)

I believe one of the 10.8.x versions changed the kernel panic screen. What I'm getting is not that terrifying overlay that takes a second to cover the screen, but instead it hard reboots the computer and the white boot up screen has a message saying there was a crash, press a key to continue.

Using Crash Emulator crashes the program with no kernel panic. No window or anything like that shows up and there's no log file to speak of. I've just now tried launching the program with the script I wrote to launch FTB under java 6 (FTB won't even open under java 7) and that worked perfectly. No problems, no crashes. Except that resizing the window is incredibly slow (it lags). But that might be because of the console output. Outputting to a terminal is surprisingly slow, CCDesk outputs a message every time the window resizes, and my launcher script opens in a terminal window.

Y'know, it's probably LWJGL's natives. The version of LWJGL that MC uses crashes on launch on a mac under java 7 if you don't use the .app launcher (which I assume is tuned to run java 6). But that was a problem with the JVM. I imagine native code could probably cause a kernel panic if the java side doesn't hold up its end of the bargain, which Java 7 isn't allowing.

That's likely the case - The only reason I can come up with is a natives issue. It may be worth removing all and installing just the Mac ones, or running under Java 6. As far as the terminal spammy-ness, you could always /dev/null the things.

Woot, CCDesk PR7!

Spoke too soon. Running under Java 6, closing the program caused the same kernel panic crash. It worked fine while it was running though.

Ok I'm going to give my full report and experiences now. These are very strange problems to me. I do not believe this program should be stating that it supports Mac OS X 10.8

I run a late 2009 27" i5 quad core iMac, and a 2008 15" Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I've noticed that these two both behave differently.

iMac, Java 7, no launch script:
Launching the program is no problem. I presume it loads under Java 7 and it shows up just fine. When I start CCDesk, the grey background does not appear. The menu bar does, but the rest of the screen keeps the launch UI until you give it a reason to repaint the canvas. Resizing the window is laggy. The canvas is drawn in the wrong location. Closing the program does not crash the computer.

iMac, Java 6 launch script:
Launching the program is no problem. Starting CCDesk appears to work fine. Resizing the window is still laggy, and it also causes the canvas to be completely black and not show anything. Closing the program does not crash the computer.

MacBook, Java 7, not launch script:
Ultimately exactly the same as the iMac on Java 7, except closing the program causes a kernel panic.

MacBook, Java 6 launch script:
Everything seems to work flawlessly, except closing the program causes a kernel panic.


All these reports are identical in CCDesk 7 and 6.2

I found some reports of Kernel Traps with OSX &amp; Java 7 with LWJGL 2.9 when closing the window.
But it was reported as fixed in a changelog on April 14.
Supposedly caused by a Nvidia driver crash.
I don't know if it is the same issue or if it's even relevant, but the more you know. :)/>

ok good to know, i used Computercraft Emulator and how there was already a modem peripheral attached to all computers, i like this improvement where you can select where to put your peripherals, and monitor support, YAY!!!!

Amidst bugfixing for PR 7.1, I've started up the de-facto permissions and commands plugin, CCDesk-Essentials. It's over here on Github - anyone is welcome to fork the code and contribute commands or ideas into the project. CCDesk by default only has a limited permissions and security set, as well as only basic core-operation commands - and this will hopefully extend that as an optional module.

Also, if you were the user who submitted this bug, can you please clarify - it doesn't actually make any sense to any of us.

Looks great!

The plugin API in 7.0 is undocumented due to the fact the documentation between 6.2 and 7.0 became practically obsolete. If you follow the demo plugin shipped with the 6.2 docs, you should be fine.

I would recommend using another java version. Java 8 is still in development, so it still has some bugs (last time I tried, sorting didn't work, and some other stuff). I'm not sure if that's the problem you are having, but it's worth trying. Use OpenJDK 7, it works for me (on ubuntu 13.04, should work the same on 12.04).

Works in 12.04 LTS :P/>

Greetings everyone! After a week of chaos back here, I've finally had my first day in this week to do some serious programming. I've spent the morning fixing up mouse and keyboard events, and I've made a few network-protocol adjustments for efficiency. There are still many more bugfixes and features to (re) write in for the next update, but it's in the works.

For developers; documentation should be ready for PR 7.1 developers shortly. Documentation wasn't released in PR 7.0 due to the fact methods had seriously been overhauled and documentation was terribly incorrect.

To give you some more speculation-fuel, here's a screenshot of an upcoming feature - who knows what this will be! I've been tweeting some other screenshots and hints over the last few days.

Spoiler

Uuu! Update is coming :D/>

After a few days of dropping spoilers on Twitter, #computercraft and #ccdesk, I can officially announce the next feature for CCDesk - Minecraft Integration.

Yes, you can now seamlessly control and interact with your Computers and Turtles outside the Minecraft world using the CCDesk Client and CCDesk Minecraft Mod extension. This mod runs a dedicated CCDesk Server and hooks to Computers and Turtles linked with a CCDesk Adapter - a new Modem-shaped peripheral. You can even shutdown, start and reboot your computers with the touch of a button - all within the ComputerCraft API restrictions!

Here's a short demonstration video - stay tuned!

Strange, it appears you've managed to obtain the Web Launcher binary and not the Desktop Launcher – you should have the file desktop.jar. This was probably my bad.

I clicked "Download Launcher" on the website and it gave me the launcher.jar. Also, where do I download the server module?

I would really really like to be able to resize the emulator. Currently i just have small window with just my wallpaper all around it which makes me sad :(/>

There's nothing stopping you from resizing it.

Hey Lochie, where is the computercraft.cfg?

theoriginalbit, on 14 June 2013 - 12:11 AM said:

Hey Lochie, where is the computercraft.cfg?

There isn't one, because it's running as a library and not as a mod.

What do you want to change?

Wanted to check the disk space you're allowing to computers. Without having to actually open CCDesk, make a computer and then use fs.getFreeSpace. It would have been quicker to just check the config.

Currently, they're given infinite space. This will change in PR7.1, though.

There's a whole fully-developed configuration system coming next release - you'll be able to actually change Computercraft properties and emulator settings.

Yay :D/>

As an update-spoiler, per usual, here's another sneak-peek at the upcoming changes. The next fix should be off the press by the end of the week, as stuff is starting to get less-chaotic for me. A huge number of bugs have already been fixed - mostly mouse and input issues.

Spoiler

Fret not, you will not longer have to guess what peripherals and devices are connected to your computers!

-Snipped out awesomeness-

Oh! Nice! …You're creative with the feature ideas!

Can i use this to compile turtle programs?

This really helpful and I can't wait for the next version. Thanks.

After a long coding-spree and bugfixing, and accidentally getting burnt out, CCDesk Prerelease 7.1 is out on the shelves! I've fixed a long list of issues, including broken mouse events in computers, weird scrolling behaviour and strange appearances of computers. I've also retweaked a significant quantity of the user-interface to make it more friendly and use-able. You'll need to download the updated launcher before running PR7.1.

As usual, have fun, report bugs, proper!

(In the event you're looking for it, here's the 7.1 Server module. Please read the manual before asking questions, it may help with answers.)

I tweeted you the solution to this problem - if you're connecting using 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1', try the network adapter's address (eg, 192.168.1.2). 'localhost' is buggy.

That's great to see - PR 7.2 should hopefully have Peripherals fixed when it comes out!

New Version!

Compiled with Java 7? Do you need the features from Java 7 or could you compile it with Java 6? I am running Mac OS X with Java 6 and Java 7 has some weird-ish-compatibility-stuff with Mac OS X. Otherwise I'll just try and run it with a script that runs it from the Java 7 JRE, but it would be nice not to have to open Terminal to start it.
Also, I get this error when creating a new session, and then I can't create computers:

Have some of the show stopping bugs in the CCDesk server been fixed yet?

Yes, although the fix isn't yet released. Hopefully it will be out by the end of today, due to the fact I'm trying to get Peripherals absolutely finalized and working.

Whoa – it's been about two weeks since I've posted update details. Here's a few screenshots of some of the new features to come in CCDesk PR 7.1.2

Spoiler

The Virtual Network Editor allows for wired-networks containing peripherals and other virtual devices.




Peripheral building and adding is simpler. Better networking access, cleaner injection points.




The new Computer Properties dialogues allow resizing, re-labelling, changing HTTP and peripheral settings.




CCDesk Server doesn't crash invisibly in the background - will warn the local client there's been a failure.




CCDesk tasks can't 'go rogue' - the watchdog will warn about tasks that are taking too long or are stuck.

I love the direction your trying to go with this. Are you going to be able to add a Floppy peripheral to it as well ?

I need it because of the nature of computercraft. I need to be able to run my code off the floppy disk drives.

If you do implement this will it mean we can save our code to it ? That of course would save the code on our windows computer.

Looking forward to the next update. As it is, I can't use any of the 7.x versions because they don't work for me. 6.2 was the only one that does so far.

EDIT UPDATE : Correction, the drive in 6.2 doesn't work…

Yes, Floppy Disks will be available in one of the next few releases. I'm currently rewriting the launcher again to try and reduce the number of future launcher-based updates required. Your code is already saved to the local computer - but I have considered allowing Floppy Drives to utilize real system paths (undecided).

Have you submitted a report about 7x versions not working? It may help if you submit a report and run the emulator from a command-line or console so any output can be grabbed.

Wow your fast, I was updating my answer when you replied. lol

Maybe I should clarify, I can get 7.x to come up, but it just sits there. I can't right click any of the computers to bring up the peripherals menu like I can in 6.2. I even did exactly as you did in the video about the peripheral with lua, and even the icon never shown indication of changing color.

I didn't see that you had not added peripherals yet until an earlier post. I saw your video on youtube and loved what your showing, but when I try to access any of the peripherals that I create with the lua command, it just doesn't see it. So I figured it was just not ready yet. I did some looking around at your other comments and thats when I found out that you hadn't added peripherals yet.

So It's my fault for not reading first. I apologize.

No problems - peripherals had to be rewritten when networking was added between 6.2 and 7.x, and the really buggy right-click terminal menu was removed for… being buggy – It's been replaced with a few new controls, and generally the videos I've been pushing are 'hacked together' demonstrations of upcoming features and code. The peripheral API and framework has actually been left present since 6.2, and I've been changing it over time, as well as the plugin framework, to try and make 'universal'-sided peripherals and plugins easier to implement and develop with, without setting fire to the workspace.

Apparently there are a few bugs still with Mac not finding the SQLite drivers; I'm still messing with the launcher to see if this is an issue I can correct (or if I have to start working around nasty JRE bugs again).

I'm on Windows 7 x64 just in case you needed this info.

Either way, kudos to your quick responses. I look forward to your next update.

EDIT UPDATE : I have a request. If say I have the desktop.jar file on my desktop. And I add a peripheral of a disk drive.. can you have that peripheral point to a folder on my desktop called disk ? If I have more then one disk drive, have your program understand each folder as disk0, disk1, disk2 etc etc.. put them all into a folder named peripherals. I hope I am explaining this right. This way, if I wanted to just copy and past code directly into that folder from somewhere else, then it would show up in your emulator under the disk drive of that computer. It would be a lot easier to use this way.

EXAMPLE :
%PATH% = ( the path to my desktop )
%PATH%\peripherals\disk0\ ( my code on the floppy drive here )
if I have another computer labeled 1 or whatever number…
%PATH%\peripherals\disk1\

If I put your program desktop.jar into a folder somewhere on my computer.. then it can create the peripherals folder in that same folder that desktop.jar file is located.

Here is an example of what happens in regular minecraft.. when typing dir.. you see the disk show up.. ONLY if I add the peripheral disk drive..

[attachment=1272:floppy.jpg]

So under %PATH%\peripherals\disk0\ you can put sub folders for floppies here.

%PATH%\peripherals\disk0\floppy0\ ( code here )

%PATH%\peripherals\disk0\floppy1\ ( code here )

If you label the disk… say "label disk test" then it could change the folder name from floppy1 or whatever to show up as :

%PATH%\peripherals\disk0\test\ ( code here )

see what I am getting at ?

I could theoretically have Disk Drives configurable to point to any directory in local-servers only – not just something in the %PATH%. Remote servers wouldn't have the ability to set a custom path (for obvious security reasons); they'd be restricted to the already-existing /computer/disk/ datastore path.

Correct. Local is what I am refering too. That would be perfect. :D/>

At least this way each computer you create in CCDesk would have the ability to have its own disk drive.

Also on a side note, as cool as the feature to tie into minecraft itself is.. I just do not see myself using it. Yet…

I think you'll find he is an admin, so he may be able to do so without cheating. But how do I know (I have never been staff on this forum)

It was a joke, sherlock…

I tried to run CCDesk 7.1.2, but it told me to upgrade the launcher, but I'm using the most recent build of the launcher.

Confirmed - I just tried it myself and got the same error.

7.1.2 isn't actually released, those are pre-testing uploads to make sure the new launcher actually works as prescribed.

Also, I like teasing you. 7.1.2 is there but you can't get it - even if you did, there's no software in the open that can run it yet. Patience, grasshoppers.

Keep up the good work.

As an update-spoiler, per usual, here's another sneak-peek at the upcoming changes. The next fix should be off the press by the end of the week, as stuff is starting to get less-chaotic for me. A huge number of bugs have already been fixed - mostly mouse and input issues.

Fret not, you will not longer have to guess what peripherals and devices are connected to your computers!

Awesome! This is the first time I've checked out CCDesk, I have just used CCemu before

Great emulator! How do I add peripherals though?

Uhhm.. I think I just spotted a bug..

Spoiler

I first created a regular computer then I disconnected from the server, then I went and connected to internal server and launched it as an advanced computer and this happens with everything I write..

How do I add peripherals? e.g. a printer

The only peripheral that I know you can add is the Monitor. I tried to add a modem, but that doesn't work. Same with the other peripheral options you "see" in the menu. And the only way to do that is in the LEGACY 6.x version. ( NOTE the 6.x stuff is for minecraft 1.5.2. ) When you launch the launcher you will see the drop down menu. Choose the 6 LEGACY. The 7.x doesn't work yet. As he stated in an above post, he has been teasing us with the 7.x stuff. ( Which is for the Minecraft 1.6.2 )

This looks very useful. B)/>

If I try to start the legacy version (6) it stops at loading the graphics. I'm waiting 5 minutes now… Is that a bug?

Possibly – the launcher is currently broken due to the ComputerCraft download links via Mediafire no longer being direct. I'm working on a fix as I speak.

When is the next update going to come?

No… last I checked you weren't a moderator… he did this just incase a moderator attempted to edit his post. You're not editing, just reading.

I'm still working on the next update. There's a few more UI changes to be made, and then it should be ready for release - hopefully the API should be working for developers, too.

Does this work on computers that do not have Minecraft installed? I'd love to be able to test Lua code I'm working on during lunch, but I can't install Minecraft on my work PC.

Indeed it does. :)/>

I can't get CCDesk to run. I downloaded and ran desktop.jar, and all I got was a command prompt window that closed as soon as it opened. I did manage to nab a screenshot, but I can't figure out how to upload it. All it said was "Error: Could not find or load main class [path]\desktop.jar". I'm using Java 7 Update 40 64 bit on Windows 8 Enterprise.

How do you close computers on pr7.1.1?

I have decided due to issues that will not be discussed here, that I am indefinitely shutting down the update services and systems for CCDesk, and postponing the release of the next - and any, if any - future updates to CCDesk. You can read over the full reason, and the future of the project here, if you so desire.

Closed by self until further such notice.
