Thanks! I've been working a lot on semi-related things such as the newsboard package shown in the teaser vieo which will also be released as part of 1.3.0. Fun fact, I'm in my 23rd hour of the re-write, and It's 9:25am. Don't you love all nighters? :P/>/>

WolfOS 1.2

Welcome to WolfOS, my Operating System overhaul for ComputerCraft. It is designed to be easy to use and has a user-friendly "text based" User Interface.

A download link and installation instructions can be found at the bottom of the post!

WolfOS does not overwrite any mod files, and is installed to each individual computer, in game. While it is currently undergoing a complete re-write from the ground up (stay tuned on that!), the slightly primitive version 1.2 is available here and contains a range of features; most of which are covered below.

- The OS currently has three native programs: File Browser, Disk Manager and Music Player. More will come!
- File Browser is used to view, move, copy, delete, and edit files on the computer.
- DIsk Manager can rename, clone, and format floppy disks.
- Music Player plays music disks, obviously!
- You log in with User Accounts, which you can create and save onto disks; or alternatively you can log in with the computer's Local User Account.
- The current program, Computer ID# and the current logged in User Account are displayed at the top of the screen, along with the version of WolfOS you are running.
- A Primary Drive can be set, which will be the default disk drive, and where User Account disks are automatically read from.
- The print mode can be changed between slow (animated) and fast.
- User Account ID and Passcode (including the Local Account's) can be changed in the Control Panel, and the Local User Account can be reset from here too.
- Finally, WolfOS is installed via floppy disk, so it does not overwrite any files at all.

Note: The default passcode for the Local User Account is blank: "".

Please suggest new programs and features/changes to the OS!

1.3.0 Teaser:

1.1/1.2 Changes:


Changelog

20/02/12 - v1.0
- Initial release

26/02/12 - v1.1
- Moved all files into /rom/wolfos/ sub-directory.
- Computer and floppy data files are now stores in the /data/ directory and /disk/data/ directory respectively.
- Major code rewrite and code optimizations. Added WolfOS API to define most functions rather than individually defined by each program script.
- Added the User Account Control Panel.
- Added disk mount path handling to differentiate between disks from multiple drives.
- Improved the Y/N conformation menus (automatic continue on either Y or N button press).
- Command input is now case insensitive.
- Added option to disable/enable slow printing.
- Added options in the Control Panel to change user name and password (for the Local Account too!).
- Added option in the Control Panel to reset the Local User Account.
- Added option in the main menu to run directly in the shell (how ComputerCraft normally works) for debugging etc.
- Removed the file "nouser" - its function is now handled directly through the WolfOS API.

11/03/12 - v1.2
- Removed all dependencies on the bios.lua and shell files from vanilla ComputerCraft.
- Made WolfOS installable via floppy disk only - no more global install.
- Added ability to run programs from disks the program menu, allowing install disks etc.
- Fixed File Browser with a workaround for the Shell API problem, displays current directory plus some miscellaneous tweaks.
- File Browser can now only edit/create .txt files - prevents creation/viewing of programs (program writing suit will come soon!).
- The List command in the File Browser now prints in the correct print mode.
- Fixed the format disk function in the Disk Manager by removing dependency on the Shell API. Seems stable so far.
- Merged all the OS data files (/data/local.dat, /data/pdrive.dat etc.) into one file /data/data.dat.

Coming in Next Release

Version 1.3.0 is a complete re-write of the whole operating system from the ground up. Why? I have wanted to for a while, but I finally got fed up with the messy code, the unnecessary functions and the oversized WolfOS API. As it stands now, the new WAPI is around one third of the old API, whilst still retaining all (if not more) functionality. It is a lot cleaner and a lot more efficient. There is also a second WOLF (Wolf OS Library of File functions perhaps? :D/>/>) api which contains a load of decent functions to help with writing to and reading from files.
Over a hundred changes had been made since the release of v1.2 and before the re-write; most of which have gone undocumented. Rest assured, WolfOS is coming back (to hang out with the bigger boys this time :D/>/>), and it's bigger and better than ever before.

Installation Instructions

If you have reached this point of the post and still want to install the severely inferior v1.2 of WolfOS (I don't blame you if you don't! :P/>/>) then I congratulate and thank you (and question your sanity! :)/>/>).
In the WolfOS 1.2.zip file there is a folder named "1". Change this number to the number of the desired floppy disk ID#, and drop it into your world save and insert that floppy disk into a computer and restart it. Next you will see the OS files being copied onto the computer, and once the on-screen prompt appears, pressing any key will eject the disk and reboot the computer again. You should now see that WolfOS 1.2 is running on your computer!

NOTE: Unlike all previous versions of WolfOS, the Operating System is installed in-game, completely independent of all other computers.

Hii Toxic,

Well i hope that you are done soon with your exams,
because i want to start as soon as possible again working on WolfOS again with you ^^.
And i have got new ideas again for later on stuff but first focus on the WolfOS Core.
After that we can focus about control and programs.

pass = apple

write "Password: "
input = read()
if input == pass then
print "Password Correct"
redstone.setOutput(left, true)
sleep(5)
redstone.setOutput(left, false)
else
print "Password Incorrect"
end

I mean if the password I typed to login was "apple"for example, (its not, obviously) I'd type this code for a basic door lock:

pass = apple

write "Password: "
input = read()
if input == pass then
print "Password Correct"
redstone.setOutput(left, true)
sleep(5)
redstone.setOutput(left, false)
else
print "Password Incorrect"
end

but apple would show up when I type it, not the *** like in his login. I want *** to show instead of apple.

1) The password should be a string, so put quotes around it ("apple" instead of apple).
2) Like Lyqyd said, you have to use read("*") instead of read().
3) You should make a post for this on the Ask a Pro forum.

The OS is actually running great for me, especially liked the auto install.
Also, I found the () around the write + print arguments aren't needed. It works fine with just quotes.

EDIT: Although now that I look back on this code I realise that I didn't put in the quotes around the redstone output side. I typed this in a rush, but didn't realise how I left out so many things.

and in ssp passwords are kind of useless, it would be nice if you could add an option to turn them off



Edit:

I tried modifying the music player to be an API loader and unloader.
I don't know if you are interested in something like this and it's still unfinished because I wasn´t able to code the load und unload menus.

Please take a look at it, thanks in advance.

i think you could add a kewboard so type with it when your looking at the monitor

max96at, on 06 June 2012 - 05:59 PM said:

What do you think of that idea:
Programs are folders with the suffix .prog. Inside them there is a file called "main" or "core". The programMenu only shows those folders, hides their suffix and when you select a programm the main or core file is run.
This would open lots of possibilities for bigger programs and program or game collections.

your WPCI code is a bit cluttered
first of all

tValidSides = {}
tValidSides[1] = "top"

tValidSides[3] = "front"
tValidSides[4] = "back"
tValidSides[5] = "left"

return true
end

return false
end

function isDrivePresent(sSide)
if peripheral.getType(sSide) == "drive" then
return true
end

return false
end

sould be

local tValidSides = {"top","bottom","front","back","left","right"}


function isPeripheralPresent(sSide)
return peripheral.isPresent(sSide)
end


function isDrivePresent(sSide)
return peripheral.getType(sSide) == "drive"
end

your not using local either, that will interfere with programs that use those variables

function isPeripheralPresent(sSide)
if peripheral.isPresent(sSide) then
  return true
end

return false
end

isPeripheralPresent = peripheral.isPresent

abc, on 14 June 2012 - 09:36 PM said:

you can actually compress it even more

function isPeripheralPresent(sSide)
if peripheral.isPresent(sSide) then
  return true
end

return false
end

can be

isPeripheralPresent = peripheral.isPresent

i forgot how the function works, it loads the function and saves it as a var named by the function
so when you call "WPCI.isPeripheralPresent" it will return the function "peripheral.isPresent"
doing it like this saves memory as it dosent need to be loaded twice

Well, as you can see, max96at has already made me a beautiful logo. Also, there's a copyright notice at the top of my scripts for a reason - I don't like straight up copying. Sure, read through my encryptor and see how it works, but please don't just copy/paste it. Also, I already have made a way to send secure messages through rednet using a similar encryptor. It's part of HyperPaw, but not quite finished yet.

I can't find your encryptor… from my scanning of the code, it looks like you just grab the password in plaintext and compare it.

function getPasscode()
local sPrimaryDrive = getPrimaryDrive()
local sMountPath = getMountPath(sPrimaryDrive)
if disk.isPresent(sPrimaryDrive) and WFCI.exists("/" .. sMountPath .. "/WOLF/data/passcode.dat") then
  sPasscode = WFCI.readAllText("/" .. sMountPath .. "/WOLF/data/passcode.dat")
  return sPasscode
else
  sPasscode = WFCI.readAllText("/WOLF/data/passcode.dat")
  return sPasscode
end
return nil
end

kazagistar, on 15 June 2012 - 08:16 PM said:

I saw all that, but I don't see it there. Is this maybe just in your unreleased version or something?

From 1.33 "/1/WOLF/APIS/WAPI" (sorry for copy/pasting):

snip

Also, a quick search through all your APIS files reveals no "decrypt" at all. Am I missing something?

kazagistar, on 15 June 2012 - 11:01 PM said:

I know this is just for fun lua stuff, but just a note: Symmetric key cryptography (using some kind of similar cipher at both ends) is basically never used for either purpose you are planning to use it for. For passwords, you use a one directional hash function of some kind(MD5, SHA2, etc), where you essentially cannot get the password back, but if you have the hash of a user's password stored, you can hash the password they just gave you, compare the hashes, and see if it was the same one. For communicating over a shared network, the usual method is Asymmetric key cryptography, in which the encryption key and decryption key are different.

In any case, no hard feelings, but I am going to have to try and create a program to break your encryption. I MIGHT have a network I am designing that revolves around maintaining lists of trusted computers, and then only sending data directly to those computers.

When I was viewing my /rom/programs/computer directory, there was a blank selection at the top of the list and the selection arrow was offset by one whole selection. You have to select the file above the file that you want to select.

The labels.txt file probably only appears when you actually assign a label to a disk. I included this step for ease of find the disk's ID#, if you have many.

I found a few bugs.

I'm going to need some more detailed reports on how to reproduce these errors. Anyhow, WolfOS 1.4.0 is thoroughly underway, I'd estimate that I'm at around 50 ~ 60% completion; so the 1.3.x branch will probably not get any more updates. I can, however, make sure that these bugs don't exist in 1.4.0, if I know more about them.

Yay, encryption. SHA1's the only option? OS installer would be great, if not already done :ph34r:/>/>

MysticT, on 29 July 2012 - 11:47 PM said:

Well, SHA-2 (SHA256 and SHA224) is more secure than SHA-1. There's already ways to break SHA-1 security, but not for SHA-2.
I implemented SHA-2 in my os, and there was a bug that made it return wrong hashes. After a lot of debuging I found that the problem was the bit handling. It requires 32-bit integers, so I made a bit32 lib that handles them and is faster (most of the times) that the CraftOS bit api.

MysticT, on 30 July 2012 - 03:03 PM said:

Sure. You can get them from my os download or the github repo, it's inside the system/libs folder. You need the bit32 and hash files.
The hash lib has md5 and sha-2 functions. I might add sha384 and sha512 if possible.
The bit32 lib has almost all the functions in the lua 5.2 bit32 lib, with some extra functions.

EDIT:
Here's the files from github: bit32, hash.

EDIT2:
Yay! 1000 posts!!!

Yes, it does work in SMP. Install it that same way you would for SSP: put the files onto a new floppy disk. You can then use this disk in game to install WolfOS onto any computer you like.

You do not have the latest Chrome version. Try going to the 'About Google Chrome' option on the wrench menu, and it should check for updates.

No it wont cause I don't get my updates from Google and I don't have an update button. I'm not on Windows this is totally different to Windows. I've also tried mozilla firefox and opera and they're doing the same thing so it shows that there is a problem with the site. My computer automatically attempts to update/upgrade daily and it hasn't failed to do so. That doesn't just update system utilities but it also updates all my software, etc. This isn't like Windows where Microsoft Update will only update microsoft branded stuff. There is a problem with the site!

I'm curious, how did you make this os?

B00mX0r, on 24 September 2012 - 07:39 AM said:

I find Lua to be a well-coded and user-friendly secure operating system base. It is nice for programming; it'll allow other people who know Lua to make good and strong applications on this operating system, allowing it to be expanded. I'd recommend, though, that you make a program that can create, edit, and save programs. Anyway, some other suggestions of mine include (even though my suggestions are already things that you're working on except for the first one):
o A lock feature, screensaver included (would be awesome)
o Auto-update that connects to internet
I'm looking forward to seeing the next version of this with networking.

This is a fairly common error that people have been getting with the installation of WolfOS 1.3.x. I'm not particularly in an ideal situation to release a patch, however I am unlikely to be releasing the new version terribely soon due to exams so therefore I am considering having a go at setting up a development environment with WolfOS 1.3.3 and making a patch so that people will at the very least have a working version to use while they wait.

-ON TOPIC-
Any time frame when you expect to release at least a sneak peak of the new version? Or at least a feature list?

• Computers will basically be a client with some level of server running in the background. This server can be made public to other clients, so you can make LANs or eventually WANs.
• I will be attempting to create some kind of Signal Relay program to allow long distance connections - this will be specific to the HyperPaw system and won't really work for other people's OSs or programs.
• I'm working on a really nice GUI system from scratch with full mouse support (which is now dropping standard computer support)
• I worked on some update/install scripts before I began 2.0.0 which allow you to download directly in game from somewhere such as github; I will be improving these.
• I have been given permission by NitrogenFingers to include NPaintPro packaged with WolfOS.
• I will eventually work on the promised "Program Creator" - which I plan to act as a kind of IDE with help documentation, protected running of the script, etc etc
• I have a plan to add some kind of download center where programs can be downloaded from a separate branch in the github repo - PR's can be made by people who wish to submit there own. This just serves as a way for people to download programs that have been authenticated to work with WolfOS without issues. However any program will be able to be installed on a computer locally too.
• I have already started work on the server modules which were discussed around the time of my work on the 1.4.0 update - these are basically optional modules that can be turned on/off/installed onto a server to give it new functionality. Such as user log in module, remote data storage module, email module etc etc.
• I also plan to drop MysticT's Sync API (no offence!) in favour of a handwritten one that should be tailored better to WolfOS and actually allow me to add a couple of new features in that department.
• Finally, I will be creating my own bootloader called 'Silverfish' which will meet my personal desires, however other bootloaders will be supported if I find any that are popular enough to warrant bothering.

It might be just a simple string.lower comparison.

I remember in prior versions of WolfOS where the menus were command based, I did convert user input to lower case before comparison; so if that is what you are referring to Skullblade, then that's how I did it.

Thank you both for your reports, however as I've said before, I'm sorry to say that the current version of WolfOS is now unsupported. This is because I have not even looked at the code in about 6 months; because I have been hard at work on the WolfOS 2.0.0 reboot.

This is nearing completion now, so I can only ask that you hang on a little longer while I get 2.0.0 out to all you guys.
Apologies on my part, and thanks for your patience.
