[1.31+] [v0.01] m0d'z Login API (non-tested) (inf accounts) (admins and guests)

This is a API that makes easier logins.
It has not been tested (yet…) so please report bugs here.

function getVersion() --Version of the API
return "v0.01"
end

function makeAdmin(user)
if isAccount(user) == false then return false end

file = fs.open(user.."/.admin", "w")
file:write("true")
file:close()

end

function isAdmin(user)
if isAccount(user) == false then return false end

return fs.exists(user.."/.admin")

end

function isAccount(user) --Returns true if the path given is a account
if fs.exists(user) and fs.isDir(user) then
  if fs.exists(user.."/.pass") then
   return true
  else
   return false
  end
else
  return false
end
end
function newAccount(user, pass) --Creates a account with the specified username and password
if isAccount(user) then
  error("Account already exists!")
end

fs.makeDir(user)
file = fs.open(user.."/.pass", "w")
file:write(pass)
file:close()
end
function isPass(user, pass) --Returns true if "pass" == the real password.
if fs.isAccount(user) then
  passfile = fs.open(user.."/.pass", "r")
  password = passfile:readAll()
  passfile:close()

  if pass == password then
   return true
  else
   return false
  end
else
  return false
end
end
function passRead(user) --Creates a read() function that returns true if you entered the correct password
return isPass(user, read("*"))
end

Most of the information is in the code above.

nice, but any scripts running this would be able to be terminated, because of read() using os.pullEvent() - so, I'm not sure this will work, but you can try typing at the top:

os.pullEvent() = os.pullEventRaw()

That's something the coders do incase they want it to be terminated

Um, no. That's what you do to prevent the terminate event getting thrown and handled, terminating the program.

I meant the person making the program can remove the terminating them self because some programs allow terminating (since they might not be a lock)

i dont use os.pullEvent() = os.pullEventRaw() because it messes with read and sleep and stuff so you have to use pcall, but if you use pcall you are already safe from ctrl t

Putting in a ctrl+t prevention into an API is a waste of time and its probably in the long run going to cause you issues.
You can't terminate an API like you can a program(you unload API's). You would want to put it in the program that you make that uses the API…

i just edit the bios.lua on my server for ctrl-t prevention

Then you can't terminate out of anything, and it's easier to infect people with viruses…

i think i am fully capable of a thing called modifying an if statement to detect if the user wants to prevent ctrl t or not
