So, I can't even get the example program to work..
I ALWAYS GET AN ERROR WITH THE FU**ING EVENT HANDLING PART!
Using this:
--# load the Touchpoint API
os.loadAPI("touchpoint")
--# intialize a new button set on the top monitor
local t = touchpoint.new("top")
--# add two buttons
t:add("left", nil, 2, 2, 14, 11, colors.red, colors.lime)
t:add("right", nil, 16, 2, 28, 11, colors.red, colors.lime)
--# draw the buttons
t:draw()
while true do
--# handleEvents will convert monitor_touch events to button_click if it was on a button
local event, p1 = t:handleEvents(os.pullEvent())
if event == "button_click" then
--# p1 will be "left" or "right", since those are the button labels
--# toggle the button that was clicked.
t:toggleButton(p1)
--# and toggle the redstone output on that side.
rs.setOutput(p1, not rs.getOutput(p1))
end
end
Getting:
startup:16: attempt to call nil

The error message says that toggleButton does not exist. I am no expert in touchpoint and know if it does, but this is the info the error message gives me. Make sure it is the right name.

t:toggleButton expects a string which represents a button label (I think) is p1 a button label?

That code should work without error, try restarting your in game computer.

The code posted above does, in fact, work just fine. What version of ComputerCraft are you using, and have you made any edits to the program or the API, either intentionally or by accident?

Freshly Installed API, tried on several computers; CC 1.7.4
No edits to the program, no edits to the API, tried on several minecraft worlds.
Should point out I am using Debian Sid with OpenJDK 7

To generate that specific error, t would need to contain the add, draw and handleEvents functions, but NOT the toggleButton function. The API is written such that that can't happen: at least, not when used with the code you've provided here.

Nevertheless, that code can't generate that error. The sixteenth line is calling a certain function that doesn't exist, but that line can't be
reached unless it
does - so long as you're running the code you think you're running, anyway.
I've tested it using both the pastebin and packman versions of
the API in concern. It works, as written.
Do you have a monitor on top of the computer?
If he didn't, he still wouldn't get that error.

Oh i got that, but that's the only other thing that might go wrong since he apparently has the correct api and his code is there.

Okay, perhaps it would be helpful if you used the pastebin program to upload whatever is on the computer. pastebin put touchpoint and pastebin put startup, then give us the resulting pastebin links so we can see if the download process has somehow resulted in you receiving corrupted files.

That's still valid code, though I notice it's not a match for what you first posted - you've got different content on line 16 within the startup paste, due to the additional line breaks.
To be clear, the pasted code is giving you "startup:16: attempt to call nil" - letter for letter, correct?
I'm almost ready to blame OpenJDK, but the idea that it could generate this sort of behaviour is pretty bizarre. There's bound to be a simpler explanation.

Well, with that being the line 16 in question, is it t:handleEvents or os.pullEvent that's throwing the error? Does the error get thrown immediately upon startup, or do you have to click the monitor/press a key/etc. first?

Its probably os.pullEvent because it only happends after I click the monitor for the first time after reboot.
And yeah it gives me exactly "startup:16: attempt to call nil"

If it's waiting for an event to come in before crashing, that points to t:handleEvents being the issue, which is bizarre. The two :add calls and the :draw call should have failed if the instance isn't getting set up properly. This is difficult to debug, since it seems to work everywhere else. Is there any way you can try this with a more normal Java install?

And I can't do it, dependencies issues.
I should have never switched from my reliable Arch Linux to Debian :(/>
Should I share the world folder for you guys to test?

Might as well share the world folder.

It shouldn't. But the error isn't making much sense, so we're trying to eliminate differences between the working environment and the non-working one.

Where are the affected systems? I can place new ones and they check out just fine, but I can't locate the ones you've been having trouble with.

All the systems are affected… Even new ones, I just realized my HDD was near dying when I was playing minecraft, It died 2 days after my last reply.. Just bought a new WD Black 2 TB.. Just reinstalled everything but this time I went back to my beloved Arch Linux, reinstalling Java as we speak to see if I can make it work this time..

The issue is that the problem appears to only be occurring on your system. Bomb Bloke even downloaded your world and the code worked perfectly fine when run on his system. It runs fine everywhere else, so there's apparently something unique to your system that we're having trouble figuring out.

This is so bizarre..
Do you know anyone else who uses CC for linux?
If they try it their system..

All I can suggest at this point is rigging up a server so that someone can come in and see the issue for themselves.

You still haven't set up a server to allow others to experiment with the issue.

Seems like a stupid question but what CC Version are you using?
I can't remember why but I suspected 1.65 (still works on there)

I can't setup the server, I am too dumb to do that, will someone help me out?
Its 1.74
*Setups HTTP Apache Servers with his hands tied yet can't setup a minecraft server*
*Makes asm based operating systems yet, can't setup a minecraft server xd*

A test that is more than likely redundant.
Before the erroring line type in and tell us the output
print(textutils.serialize(t))
Also replace os.pullEvent with
{"monitor_touch", "top", 9, 10}
It will emulate a touch to bypass os.pullEvent

Its 1.74
- download forge for MC 1.7.10: http://files.minecraftforge.net/
- run the installer and select the server version (tell it to place it's stuff on your desktop or something)
- run the server jar file (it will complain about a load of missing files, don't worry it's making them)
- close the server (type "stop" into server window)
- add computercraft to the servers' mods folder (you can either download this again or copy the one from your client; the server's mods folder should be next to the jar file you used to start it - if there is no mods folder then make it)
- start the server again and connect to it via your client to make sure everything works
- you may want to op yourself, in the server window type "op <your MC username>" (you can now use server commands from your client by using a / )
- port forward this port: 25565 (I'm assuming you know how to do this from your Apache servers)
- post your IP address here so we can connect (you could also use something like http://www.noip.com/ )
EDIT: added note for if mods folder doesn't exist when adding mod to server
EDIT: make sure to use correct version of forge

Just noticed that you said that you are using CC 1.74
Why are you using that when you could use 1.75 which is the latest CC for MC 1.7.10?

Sorry I never set the server up, but there is a reason though.
I came to the conclusion its Tekkit Legends fault..
Try it for your selfs, the modpack gives a ton of errors with CC.
On other modpacks it works!
Thanks for everything though guys
