Background
I'm have lot's of experince with coding on Unix machines. I'm new to playing Manecraft with mods. Some weeks ago I wanted to teach my daughter coding and found computercraftedu. Turtles, coding and a remote. I started coding the turtle myself…
Next steps, the ones that went well
(1) Setup server with computers and turtles (thanks for the tutorials)
(2) Create API's, which seems not possible with the edu version (thanks for the tutorials got it working on CC)
Next steps, no succes
(3) Use an external editor for coding
(4) Install API's and program's on every new computer / turtle (rom)
(5) Have computers and turtles print message to the chat
(3) and (4): This is enless annoying me. I see tutorials everywhere how to place text files without extentions in some directories. Weird thing is that this directory structure is nog present in my client or server install. Creating the directories manually doesn't do anything too. I see different directies, most look alot alike:
Then, around 3:30am I got a small break thru, a post about a resource package as zip, just place it in "resourcepacks" directy AND IT WORKED on both client and server install!
On the clientside there were directories created (".minecraft\assets\computercraft\lua\rom") as present in the .zip file, on the server the directories were not created but also worked.
But adding a file to the same location did not do anything… :-(
>>> Could anyone help me on these steps (3 and 4)?
And while I'm asking, is there a way to have turtles chat? Handy for debugging to know what's going on with the turtle.
I use MC 1.8.9 for computercraft
I use MC 1.7.10 for computercraftedu
I'm running minecraft on Windows.
