This looks very, very impressive. In fact, to me this is the most appealing OS on the forums right now. Well done.

When executing the installer, I get the following error:


installer: 102: attempt index ? (a nil value)

In green right before that red error message, the text


tree.lua

is displayed.

I've got the http API enabled and have downloaded from pastebin many times before.

This is quite strange. Download from pastebin goes fine but downloading from github results with this error. Please check if our github repository is available to you.
On our computers the download process goes fine.
Alternatively you can donwload the release package and install the LongOS manually.

This looks like a certainly highly detailed OS with all the little things and big things a CC OS should have plus more!
I love the interface!
Great Job!

I think I will re-design my GUI for AquaOS soon…It seems to be very old compared to some newer ones.

We decided to turn next pre-release version 1.0.1 into release version 1.1. This was because we implemented a lot of new features in this version so the difference can be seen by anyone.
For now there are several small features and two big are left to do. We are going to finish and release version 1.1 till monday.
Thanks for replies!

There is a typo in the text near the top, second line you have put 'he ' instead of 'The'. But it's look really really good although I think you need to touch up on the art and colours, I feel they colours you use don't belong together.

Thanks for your opinion!
Colors and the desktop wallpaper can be changed inside tho OS (color configuration dialog). You can customize a lot of things in the LongOS! Here is an example screenshot:

Also you can suggest your color combination and we will think about changing our default colors to yours.

Wow, this is impressive!
I like the fact that an actual GUI system is used and that if an application crashes, it will handle the crash.
The level of customization is pretty nice.

LongOS running inside of LongOS, twice!

Since I'll be putting my issues as i find them, to prevent the post from getting long I've placed them in a spoiler tag.

Spoiler

However, The terminal does have the capability to crash the entire OS:

lua> os.pullEvent = function() error() end

Also, it does kinda seem to support larger screen sizes but windows will spawn in the "center" of the 51x19 area even if the screen isn't 51x19.
In the downloader:


if (not color) then
  color = colors.black;
end

Could be shortened to:


color = color or colors.black;

Also, I feel like that image format you use could be reduced in size quite a lot.
Instead of recording the actual color value, 1, 16, 4096, etc, you could store the color as exponent of 2.
2^X where X is from 0 to 15 would give you from white(1) to black(32768) and all the colors between.
To convert back from the color value to X, you could use math.log(color)/math.log(2)
———-
The mouse configuration screen won't accept anything because its "Not a number"
———
Just wondering, is it possible that in /LongOS/Classes/LongOS.lua that oldSleep(0.1); around line 216 be changed to oldSleep(0.05);
It makes it so the refresh rate of the screen is 20 ticks instead of 10.
Its okay if you don't it makes it a little more jumpy but text input more smoother.
———
The calculator has the word substract everywhere when it should be subtract
I also feel like for consistency, the button layout like it is on my real calc, windows calc, linux calc, mac calc could go:
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
——–
The color picker could have all its color buttons reduced down to one block of code by using a for loop 0-15 and 2^variable
——–
The file manager could sort its files directories first, then files first.
Also if you click on a folder from root, you'll get a double slash, this could be fixed with fs.combine

Very nice work! Not only the best OS¹ I've seen on the forums but that developer documentation! +1 to you sir, finally someone who really knows what they're doing.

Oh also, good job managing to fit digital boobs in a bikini on the Computer's small resolution xP

¹I'd go as far to call this an OS, as context I call the others "graphical shells" because they don't deserve the OS title, so hat off to you for getting that!

Hmm, why not! LongOS can support any localization that are written using standard english letters and symbols. So if you like to create either en_UK or en_AU localization we will be glad to include it!

Thanks for your work but this is only System localization. For each application there is a separated set of localization files. I will prepare a special file with all this lines for the translation and send it to you in a PM.

Currently there are very small amount of applications for the LongOS.
The OS supports native programs too but you can get them from the author's pastebin or something like that.

Your suggestion is really good and maybe when we will have more applications to add to the App Store we will create it.
Thanks for your suggestion and localization!

You can read the programming guide if you want to create applications for the LongOS. Maybe we will create some sort of IDE with windows designer but for now you have to design them in your code. See the basic applications for examples.

We are working on it. Maybe we'll find how to improve the speed in terminal emulator. You can review our code if you like - maybe you will be able to find a solution.
And a small question: how did you calculate the "smoothness reduce"? :)/>

Test creating threads per function. that might improve speeds up to 70%

I tried it. 7% Speed improvement. Code Edited. Keeps crashing. Says "java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException"

7% SPEED IMPROVEMENT CODE. EDIT <install dir>/LongOS/Long

Crash: Index out of bounds. Thats because you recursively call functions "fa" and "fb".

I modified yours a little, some things were inconsistent; like 'folder' and 'map'. And some of the language was kinda Google Translate dutch. :)/>

That is because if I read in english, my mindset is english. I know what Im saying but translating is kinda hard for me. Especially if there is a limit in characters.

Good suggestions. I will include them to the tasks list but first I have some questions:

What do you mean saying "boot animation"? There is already a progress bar on the booting screen. Are you saying about some form of image with an animation here?
Do you have any suggestions about how "better crash screen" should look like?

Bootanimation - let the user change the startup Animation

Better crash screen - like windows 8

For now boot animation displays real OS parts loading progress - its not just a picture and there is no "sleep" in loading code.
And for now I don't see any possibility to implement the feature which you request. But we are planning to add video files format (video player and some program to create this videos) in some of the future releases (maybe 1.4 or 1.5). So we may allow users to set their video files to be played in loop while the OS is loading. Is this what you have suggested?

For crash screen: so the main changes will be the filled background and autorestart?

The thing to remember about crash screens is that they cannot rely on any other part of your OS, they must be 100% decoupled otherwise your error screen could error when a particular API/Class hasn't been loaded.

And we know this. Our current crash screen is created using only standard CC functions. No side APIs or classes. But thanks for warning!

Yeh I figured you'd think as much, but from a quick scan of TableCraft0R's code he is relying on some of your APIs/classes, so was just making sure to point it out to you so that it's fresh in your mind :)/>

Terminal emulator allows user to launch native CC programs inside the LongOS with all its features like multitasking and windows. So even several terminal applications can be running in one time.
Its supposed that any native program will work in it just like it was launched in the CraftOS without any code rewriting.

I made a new code for GvinTerminal.exec to prevent things such as os.shutdown(), os.reboot(), and error(). (thus fixing the earlier report with error().
Added part: function os.shutdown() print("Shutdown is not allowed!") end; function os.reboot() print("Reboot is not allowed!") end; function error() print("Error is not allowed!") end;
EDIT: I would localize those functions I guess.

Hey, I've just tested your os again and I can still say that I love it, Are you still developing this?
If so, Then can't you create something like theme packs so that we can download and install.
Also out of curiousity.. How can you detect where the mouse is hovering? How did you do that?
Since I see that you do that when you can scroll, It only scrolls when I'm hovering over the areas.. It's so awesome, Please tell me! :P/>

mouse_scroll event returns where did the mouse was when you scrolled it, just like mouse_click and mouse_drag does.

Yes, this is, probably with out a doubt, the most fully featured OS on the forums at the moment. PearOS just looks pretty and sits there doing nothing, LqyqdOS is just CraftOS in windows. But this has lots of good stuff in it. The UI could probably do with a tidy, but other than that, perfect!
