The following is a script I wrote for fun on a tekkit server.
What it does is just lets you talk to other players on computers via rednet.
The setup is simple, just run the following line then its installed on the computer.
pastebin get H0YpZjhK chat
Once you run the program you will be sent to a menu asking for a username. This username is what will be displayed to other players. From then on you will be sent to the default chatroom and can send+receive messages. You can also change the color of the display by clicking the second line.
To send a message click the last line of the screen or press "t", then type your message and press enter. To change rooms click the top line and enter the new room name.
*NOTE Messages are not saved, so if you restart the computer/program the room will appear blank until people start sending messages.
In the attached pictures the colors appear to be going outside of the terminal window. I am not sure why this is happening and if it will happen to others. I'm playing FTB Ultimate if that has anything to do with it.
