Hello everyone,
i look for a order program.
Could somebody do one for me? Or can somebody link me one?
I need this for our farmer because we do orders very often and he
hate the signs we build everytime :P/>

It would be nice if it is like a email system
1. Order to a Network where the farmer can see the Order
2. Some Text you can write like

Hello Jacob!
I need some new Wool
1 stack should be enough.
— 1 stack Wool —

Would be nice if it could be look like this.
Greetz,

Moved topic to general. Ask a Pro is for getting assistance with problems you're having with your program, not program requests; title edited to reflect request.

Should the farmer's computer be the server, or should the server be separate?

Also, the built-in "chat" command might suit your needs.

Sorry that I only can answer yet.
I want the programm because he isnt online everytime and we cannot go to the Farm because
hes at a another City :D/>
And the Farmer should be the same as the Requester (maybe when he need something from us?)
So it would be nice if there would be a Server at a seperate Computer and then some (5-6) clients.

(sry that i posted in the wrong thread havent seen "request" thread.

There isn't a request thread because we want to encourage people to write their programs themselves. We have the Ask a Pro section dedicated to helping people with code they're writing. Occasionally, a bored user will write code for someone else at their request, but it's not something we regularly do.

Does Firewolf suit your needs?

Is requesting if a program that already does the thing you're asking count as such a request? If you're just seeing if something exists or something comparable that might be okay (although that's probably opening a dangerous can of worms…)

My old email code is kicking around somewhere although I'm not sure if it's on these forums or if it works with the updates… it might do what you're looking for HunterFun? It's on my youtube channel for sure.

It kind of ends up being a grey area. I'm mostly trying to prevent talent leeching from becoming acceptable. I feel like the community benefits more from focusing on helping everyone who's interested in ComputerCraft learn how to do whatever they want with it on their own than it would from a larger number of people using a hit-and-run program request style of interaction. I know this doesn't really answer the question, but I guess the answer is somewhere between "I don't know" and "it depends".

a simple program could be just:


rednet.open("top") --If the rednet modem is on top
rednet.broadcast(read()) --send what the user enters


and for the farmer


rednet.open("top")
id, msg = rednet.receive()
print(id.."   "..msg)

It will print anything is sent from rednet

See this for more information on the rednet api http://computercraft.info/wiki/Rednet_(API) and here are some tutorials http://computercraft.info/wiki/Tutorials

in the beta's of the rednet update there was an email program, not veru userfriendly at all, but that would work, Dan said he would add it in back later.
i expect the 1.7.10 update to come out in a few days or less.
