It still does not like making the file the first time. My fault there again, it doesn't like the file existing but nothing in it :P/> HOWEVER the disknet_message doesn't get new messages and your syntax is off, where you put message on the disknet.receive is getting the label on the computer.

This does not work. I mistakenly thought it would, and after testing realized it would not… Also there is a function called 'redRepeat', which is my attempt to do what you just said.

I had tested it too with the 1.7.10 beta, and I thought it worked. I had two duplicate floppies with nothing on them, put a file on one of them, then checked the other one, which then had that file with its contents. Please try it assuming disks do that.

Yes, it works if you have litterally duplicated floppies, however this was made to work with named floppies, since how would you get identical floppies without cheating?

What is the 'sender' and 'pFilter' things when setting the function, and their syntax? I'm lost when I look at the code.
Also, the thing I do see is that there is a 'while true do' loop in receive(). Does that mean that it the function will go on forever, or am I not looking deep enough and it ends when the timeout ends?

The function would go on forever, except I have two cases in which it returns. 1) If the timer runs out or 2) when it receives a message. In the case of the former, it will return nil.

It looks like _sender was going to added and never was. It does nothing in that section of code.

pFilter is basically just that, a filter… It is similar to the rednet protocol.

-snip-
So can I simply not put the pFilter thing if I want it to see everything? And simply ignore sender?

I tried making the routing program, but it didn't work. Didn't error either, but I need it debugged. Could you give it a go?

I promise not to remove it.

as far as I can tell, the only problem is line 189:

		disknet.broadcast(a)

Since you have not loaded the api, just pasted the code in, shouldn't it be this?

	   broadcast(a)

Are you sending a rednet message to the computer running the program? Also whenever it stops, just press ctrl+t and it should give a line number where you stopped it.

while true do
  local event = { os.pullEvent() }
  if event[ 1 ] == "disknet_message" then
    --#send on rednet
  elseif event[ 1 ] == "rednet_message" then
    --#send on disknet
  end

No it will wait for some kind of event, and if that event's not one of those then it will start from the top

Dragon53535, on 02 October 2014 - 02:09 AM said:

it should, however the code Yami had when i was testing was flawed and it kept raising a disknet event

Dragon53535, on 02 October 2014 - 11:06 PM said:

You have too many ends at the end of your program, you indented improperly, just delete one.
Line 141, you're using disknet.broadcast, since you're not loading the disknet api that should just be broadcast Same for 192.
When calling a broadcast from disknet when you receive a redstone message, i would assume you would want to send the message from the client, the way it's setup is that the client has to send 2 messages.
The same with rednet.send

print("rednet: " .. rednet.receive())
broadcast(rednet.receive())

print("disknet: " .. receive())
rednet.broadcast(receive())

print("rednet: ".. event[3])
broadcast(event[3])

print("disknet: " .. event[5])
rednet.broadcast(event[5])

Should I just modify redrepeat() to print what text it gets and simply use that instead of what I added? Because if that works, then that would be great, and I would be annoyed because I tried for a while to get it to route data another way.

I screwed up the program again, and now it doesn't even ping anymore. It used to, which proves disknet works. Please, please just make it work! I can't do it at all. If only fs.open() and all the other fs things were simpler!

local handle = fs.open( "filename", "mode" ) --#mode is "r" if you want data, "w" if you want to change the data
handle.write( "string" ) --#writes a string to the file you previously opened
handle.writeLine( "string" ) --#adds a newline character to the end of write.
handle.close() --#saves the file and deletes the handle
handle.readAll() --#returns the data inside the file
