Code to ignore 'startup' file on a floppy disk?

I have been looking for a code that ignores the 'startup' file on a floppy disk, but i can't seem to find one. Can someone give me one?

That seems to work, but i would rather have it per-computer so i can use it on smp.

yes you cant unless you are the admin and edit the OS, by design.

Other than what Lucas showed you, there is no way to prevent startup disks from being used. Unless you have a world-lock and surround it with furnaces. Then only an admin and you can get to it. Otherwise, it's up to you to make stuff work out.

Well, is there an in-game code i could add to the startup to just ignore the disk startup or something like that?

No. That's what we are saying. It's in the bios to boot from a disk. You cannot edit the bios in game, and there is no other way to do it.

keep your server room secure :P/>/>

i didn't see your reply untill after i posted mine.

Theoretically, you can place a disk drive on top of the computer with a startup file. And surround it by bedrock. But I doubt that solves your problem.

wait, which disk would it load if there was two disk drives?

Top one first so protect that one, then not sure :P/>/>

Nope,In C:UsersANTHONYAppDataRoaming.minecraftmodsComputerCraftluabios.lua

A direct answer as well a a recursively hypocritical one is to stick a disk drive on top and throw a blank startup file in it.
(Or maybe just make it

if 1 then return end

)

If you've been following the thread, you'd know that I was referring to when you are playing on a server, when you yourself do not own that server. Also, if you had read the entire thing, you'd also know that I commented on the link to the tutorial thread, which contains that information already.

So, again, I reiterate: there is no way to change the bios.lua while playing on a server you do not, yourself, own and/or control the plugins of.

No, that would be editing it outside of the game. You're agreeing with him, you just failed to understand what he was saying. His point was that there is no way to disable disk booting besides editing the bios.lua file (and not everyone logs on as Anthony, so the path you provided is somewhat less useful), which cannot be done in-game.
