Hi, I am trying to play the secret movie, but the one in NEI doesn't work, and I can't find it in the creative menu, so I tried to get it from pastebin.

http://pastebin.com/HAJU2g25

Whenever I try to use that program I keep getting an error saying i'm attempting to call Nil values at lines 25 and 26. When I change line 25 to term.clear() instead of m.clear() it moves onto 26, but I keep getting the error on that line.

Basically I just want to play the secret movie. How can I do it?

Do you have a monitor attached to the computer?

Yes I have a monitor. Also, sorry Lyqyd, I wasn't sure which forum to post it in.

When you run the script, add on the direction of the monitor. For example, if the monitor is touching the right-hand side of the computer, you'd type:

alongtimeago right

You'll want a large monitor.

I just typed the program, and didn't specify a monitor, but i'll try it again. I thought from looking through the program that it chose the monitor and I didn't need to specify. Plus, isn't it also possible to just run the program on the computer screen without a monitor?

Ok that worked. Thanks. I was looking at
  • if side == "left" or side == "right" or side == "back" or side == "top" or side == "bottom" then
  • m = peripheral.wrap(side)
II figured I could just write the program
