Server rules on monitors

Hello! first of all say that computercraft is AMAZING i've made a craftbukkit server and i just added computercraft, well back on topic.

I was wondering if it would be posible to write server rules on a 4x4 monitor with custom colors or something like:

Server name
—————————————-

Rule 1

Rule 2

Rule 3

Rule 4

—————————————

Custom text.

I've tryed using prints and runing the program on the monitor on computer's back, but i can't figure out how to add custom colors if it would be posible, and even editing startup so if the server restarts or something they will show again onscreen automatically.

I don't know if it's clear enough, if so ask me please, hard to explain an idea in another language :P/>/>


Thanks for the help :)/>/>

You can't have custom colours and it can't auto start you will have to open it (if it's startup just a click sould do).

Yes, it will start up automatically when the server restarts. Best place to put the computer and monitor is in a spawn chunk.

Oh you ment when restarting the server..

But how do i show it on a monitor? I mean, i know the monitor side program thing, but it will work if i add it to the startup edit? Becouse i've edited the startup with the prints and stuff, can't get in on the monitor, just the regular computer screen :/

There's two ways:
1) Use shell.run on the startup file to run the monitor program:

shell.run("monitor", "<side>", "<YourProgramName>")

2) Redirect the output to the monitor before writing to the screen:

local monitorSide = "<side>"

if peripheral.isPresent(monitorSide) and peripheral.getType(monitorSide) == "monitor" then
  term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(monitorSide))
else
  print("Monitor not found")
  return
end

-- Your code here

term.restore()

yeh i already made one will scroll and everything will make a topic on it now in programs for you
