Plastic Alpha for OpenPeripheral
by Team Plastic
Forward and the Team:So basically, I got bored again and was playing on Wired's server which is where I found out about OpenPeripheral. Once I found out about terminal glasses, I basically fell in love with it :P/>. So the possibilities were endless and I decided to make something like Google Glass for it, and this is what I ended up with. Also, this was made in 3 days after I fell in love with OpenPeripheral. - 1lann - Everything else and the framework
- Lieudusty - IRL weather app prototype
Screenies:Here are screenies describing the elements on the home screen and what they do and what it looks like in-game.
(In large gui scale, I normally play in normal)
Features so far:- Tells the current weather in-game give that you have a sensor with a world card attached to the computer from OpenCCSensors
- Tells the time, either IRL or in-game. You can switch by doing $$irl or $$ingame (IRL time powered by http://www.worldweatheronline.com)
- Has a converter to convert distances, data measurements, ect. from the STANDS4 network. See http:///www.convert.net. Example usage: $$convert 1 kg to lb
- Can be updated within itself ($$update)
- Runs in a daemon so you can use shell at the same time, and after quitting plastic you can run it again by using $$start. Note that this can be disabled with a nodaemon parameter
- Has a built in calculator to do maths, all you need is a = at the front. Ex: $$=12*3^2
- In case of a really laggy server and where Plastic freezes on it's animations run it with the parameter "lite" to make it run without any animation
- Weather, you can lookup for anywhere by using $$weather for <city> or $$weather for your weather. (Also powered by http://www.worldweatheronline.com)
- Time and date lookup by doing $$time for <city> (' ' ' http://www.worldweatheronline.com)
- Change settings within Plastic with $$settings
Why is there a $$ in front of every command? That's because that's how you pass commands from chat to the computer with the glass bridge. Yes, you run those commands in chat.What does it require?First off you'll need the mod: OpenPeripheral and optionally OpenCCSensors for weather information.
You'll need in-game: A computer (Advanced or normal) a terminal glass bridge attached to the computer, and optionally a Sensor with a world sensor card from OpenCCSensors for weather information. Plastic will automatically detect your setup.
If you're too lazy to get the mods, then use the Technic launcher with this modpack URL: http://www.technicpa...and-peripherals. This is actually Wired's server's modpack, and includes the server address in the modpack. So if you want to check out Plastic/mess around with terminal glasses on a server, or just hang out, go ahead and visit Wired's server. I'm on there often. (No whitelist and has MiscPeripherals, OpenPeripherals, OpenCCSensors, Immibis' s Peripherals, NEI and more.)Download! v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
pastebin get 43nHyKXU plastic
http://pastebin.com/43nHyKXUNote that this is an Alpha and some things won't work perfectly. Plastic does have crash recovery and will write to /plasticLog. Please report all of the errrors, bugs, and glitches you encounter. Also note that to change the options after you have setup Plastic, you'll have to edit /glassOptions. I will make a way to edit the options within glass in the future. Thanks a ton! :D/>Credits:Surprsingly, GravityScore wasn't involved in this project XDThanks a TONNE to Mikeemoo for all of the time and incredible effort he put in to make OpenPeripheral and OpenCCSensors. Of course without him, this wouldn't have been possible.Also for the people on Wired2Coffee's server for keeping me… entertained when writing it? Also for Wired2Coffee's server for existing else I would have possibly never knew about Terminal Glasses (I don't check the Peripherals section on the forums D:)The STANDS4 network for their API for the convert function.http://www.timeapi.org for the IRL time supportMk352 for trying to flaw it (then me fixing it)… (Yes I know, it's him)And thanks to all of the people who made Minecraft/ComputerCraft ect.
I think that's it. Thanks for trying out Plastic! (Yes I know, the name is so cheap XD)

Duude post a tutorial on how to do the colors!
The colours are a capability of OpenPeripheral not ComputerCraft. The format is in hexadecimal #ffffff (#RRGGBB) where each pair of two is a number 0-255, just like with colouring in HTML.

To make it more visible so people don't get lost trying to find it xD
Duude post a tutorial on how to do the colors!
And yes, like theoriginalbit said. However, I do declare the colors into variables to make them more convenient for me. These are the lines of code I use to store the colors:
local gColors = {}
gColors.red = 0xff3333
gColors.blue = 0x7dd2e4
gColors.yellow = 0xffff4d
gColors.green = 0x4dff4d
gColors.gray = 0xe0e0e0
gColors.textGray = 0x676767
gColors.text = 0x5a5a5a
gColors.rain = 0x2e679f

So, since I don't know how to do those kinds of colors, could I use the same colors you use in my own OpenPeripheral programs?
It says you can do what you want with the code inside the code.
Lol, I'm going to make my own "plastic". Better watch out, a competitor will soon be competing! :P/>

Tells the time, either IRL or in-game. You can switch by doing $$irl or $$ingame
Just curious here, why did you choose `$$irl` and `$$ingame` why not have them similar and do `$$irl` and `$$igl`

Sorry to bump, but how do you input on this?
EDIT: I figured it out. But how do you use the world sensor card?
EDIT2: I figured that out too. For others wondering, I had to use the back side of the computer for the sensor and the left side for the bridge.

However, I think it would be cool, if you could see the time and the weather on the same screen, without having to type in a command to see the weather.

Then maybe $$real and $$game? A bit longer but it also makes a bit more sense. I'm not really sure.

Hey, I just tried this out and let me say it was AWESOME. I mean, it completely blew my mind how something like this was possible in Minecraft, it really proves that the game has almost no limits (with mods installed, of course.) However, I was wondering if there would be a way that I could have it give me a message on my HUD when the computer running it gets a redstone signal. Is it possible for me to splice some code in to do that? Thank you.

Hello 1lann,
I accidentally destroyed my ComputerCraft "igl" computer and I had to setup my computer again. I breezed through the setup of the glasses until I got to the weather, where even typing in $$New York results in "Invalid city!"
What site do you use for the weather API?

Well it's fixed now…it was probably down temporarily.
Also 1lann, I have a bug to report…
If the user accidentally removes the world sensor card while Plastic is running, then Plastic says it crashes, and it says this in /plasticLog:
parallel:22: Glass:1044: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

- "Tells the current weather in-game give that you have a sensor with a world card attached to the computer from OpenCCSensor"
please don't take wrong but have you ever seen a "Redneck Weather Station"its a dark colored rock sittin' out in the openif its wet it's rainingif it's white it's snowing……if its missin' it was stolen!!Awesome concept but can't see a pratical use in MC as you can pretty much tell the weather clear to bedrock if your speakers are on except snow but then F3 will tell ya if your in snow type biome and you can pretty much bet it is lolwould love to see what else you can make though it looks awesome!!!

Oh yes for some reason, I think someone is spamming API requests, or it's just Plastic… Because I've been getting a lot of over quota limit warnings for the API. I'll change it soon so it only needs to update every hour instead of minute.

Hello,
first to say is that I LOVE plastic :D/>
but Weather is not working so I cut it out of the code so I can use it. And Weather knows Berlin but it does not know any other German city ;(
And I have read something about creating own commands in source code. Please add this because then I can control the light in my house with glass :D/>
Best Regards,
kornichen
Edit: Weather is now working but I am 500 km away from Berlin and it does not know smaller German cities.
Edit 2: Tip for German people: Replace ä by ae, ü by ue, ö by oe and ß by ss, else it won't find the city and Plastic will crash. (Please fix this bug, but maybe it is not fixable because of ComputerCrafts problems with umlauts. Please fix that dan :D/>)

Righthtt sorry for the long wait, I was a bit lazy, I updated it now, the time only updates once every hour (so it can become like 5 minutes off in some cases I suppose… I might change it to 10 minutes if it poses a problem) I didn't test this completely since I can't be bothered to wait for 1 hour. So post any bugs you find :)/>
Also, VERY IMPORTANT. In plastic you MUST enter the command $$update to update it. And please update it I'm getting lots of over usage emails of the weather/time API.the make your own app system (root) works now, heres an example app that is to be placed in the folder /plasticApps
--[[Plastic Root App]]--
--NAME: Example App
if cmd == "hello" then
centerText("Success",secondText)
return true
end
Note that return true is necessary to tell Plastic that the command was valid
To run Plastic with root just simply run it with the root argument.

I love this program - it works so well! But i have a question (it may be a really noob-ish question but oh well) i have been looking through your code to try and work out how on earth you get plastic to run in the background and i couldn't find it, if you could give me a quick explanation or a link to one that would be loads of help.

The colours are formatted like web hexadecimal colour codes (like #000000 for black, or #ff0000 for red).
There's an explanation on that

Pretty cool, but the light blue text can be a bit hard to read. You should make the colors changeable.

This program requires OpenPeripherals, and the Terminal Glasses Block from that mod needs to be placed next to the computer.
