Visitor Database?

For my Tekkit Lite server I want to see who and when visits my base, like in the old direwolf20 video's.
We have CCSensors so that's not a problem at all. And I want to see it on a monitor.

Greets Matthijs

what is the code you have so far? what are the problems you're having? we can't help you with the program without information.

I don't have anything yes, I don't know how to start with something I never worked on. I know the CCsensors but that's it.

Which peripheral are you using for the sensor? OpenCCSensors? OpenPeripheral?
It's easier for us to help you if we have more information. ( I'm kinda unsure if there is a sensor block in OpenPeripheral :P/> )

OpenCCSensors, from the minecraft version 1.4.7 , also computercraft version 1.5

This is the sensor if you're still unsure http://www.computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=OpenCCSensors

So this would basically do what you want

local prox = peripheral.wrap( "<side" )
local visitors = {}

local monitor

--# Find a monitor
for _, name in ipairs( peripheral.getNames() ) do
	if peripheral.getType( name ) == "monitor" then
		monitor = peripheral.wrap( name )
	end
end

while true do
	--# Get all targets and then insert them into the visitors table
	local targets = prox.getTargets()
	for name, _ in pairs( targets ) do
		local n = {}
		n.name = name
		n.timestamp = textutils.formatTime( os.time() )
		table.insert( visitors, n )
	end

	--# Loop through the visitor table and draw the stuff xP
	monitor.clear()
	for i = 1, #visitors do
		monitor.setCursorPos( 1, i )
		monitor.write( visitors[i].name .. " | " .. visitors[i].timestamp )
	end
end

This is ofcourse very basic and it would go out of the screen if there are too many visitors :P/>
If you're unsure how monitors work I can tell you that it basically has all the term functions

local monitor = peripheral.wrap( "<Side>" )

monitor.clear()
monitor.write( "Hello" )
monitor.setCursorPos( 1, 1 )
local w, h = monitor.getSize()
monitor.setCursorBlink( true )

etc.

You can also redirect the terminal to the monitor, and since you're using CC 1.5 I believe you can still use term.restore :P/>

local monitor = peripheral.wrap( "<Side>" )
term.redirect( monitor ) 
term.write( "This is going to be written on the monitor" )
term.restore()
term.write( "This is going to be written in the terminal" )

The first line of the above script needs to be changed to:

os.loadAPI("ocs/apis/sensor")
local prox = sensor.wrap("side")

Of course, replace "side" with the actual side name.

oops forgot x)

I have this now, http://pastebin.com/RiG9XpAj
only it still doesn't work. And I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I've never worked with CCsensors yet :\

You have to change the "side" into the ACTUAL side, in your case "bottom".

Some people can't read, if you saw that I posted a pastebin. There I have THE GOOD SIDE So I've you just clicked the link you know better by now.

Still is my question what am I doing wrong?

Ok got it working now, still I have some question, I want :

• really badly a blacklist on some players (like me) so they don't spam around much
• No mobs stay on there (because the sensor also detects mobs)
• After 2 or 3 people it resets itself, I want that it stays always unless I manually reboot it

Indeed, you can't read. That can happen to everyone, so nothing wrong there. When I read that post, there was "sensor.wrap("side")".

What's worse is the fact that you quickly edit you pastebin, and then pretend I'm dumb.

Please calm down, people aren't going to want to reply to YOUR question if you're getting mad at people who try to help you.

Everyone in this thread needs to calm down a bit. Don't get angry with the people trying to help you, and don't snap back at the question askers if they do, just move on to the next topic.
