[OS MAKER] BootDisks - Make a REAL cc OS! [RECODE]

1. bios.lua
2. OS main file

#os_main

function os.version()
  return "TrollOS 1.0"
end

(ima stop the center now)

#os_main can be ANYTHING, it just has to be inside the disk and start with #.
now save that program into saves/ursavename/computers/disks/*any id*/bios.lua
Now open another text thing and type in this.

print( "Welcome to " ..os.version() )
print( " insert OS here " )

and save that as saves/ursavename/computers/disk/*any id*/*whatever was past the # in bios*

Now insert that disk into ur PC and you just got a OS :)/>/>

CraftOS 1.3
Do you want CraftOS back? Install these 2 programs into a disk.
CraftOS.zip

How to install BootDisks:

• Server
• Replace BootDisks with shell in *server folder*/mods/ComputerCraft/lua/rom/shell
• Client
• Replace BootDisks with shell in .minecraft/mods/ComputerCraft/lua/rom/shell

How would this even work? There is no code to even load from the disk (which is handled Lua side, not Java side)…

It's on the download at the top, but it's just the shell with some changes. It would be the same as creating a startup file and loading the os in there, wich doesn't require any modification to the rom, so I don't see the point of this.

Right, gotcha - didn't see the download button, it wasn't too clear!

And yes, in order to have a difference you'd have the disk boot code in the bios.lua.

Sorry to say but this doesn't allow custom OS'es, as all of bios.lua is run and also the shell API is installed.

You would have the same effect running your code from a startup file on a disk. Why not just replace bios.lua with code to load the bios.lua from disk, and let people run code with the global table as supplied by java?

Yea, but this was mostly made for the effect of having to install CraftOS instead of having it come with your PC.

I updated the program! when booting, press F12 to open your boot menu and change if you wanna boot from the Hard drive or disk. I also recoded it.

Coding is more understandable…
Thankyou, modz.
