RedBook (Facebook in MC) v1.4 NOTIFICATIONS!

Version 1.4 of RedBook has been released!!!

hope you like.

This looks interesting. I hope you finish. Just do a good job and don't rush it.

If you need any help, I'd be happy to work on it. Just saying.

I do actually need some help on this on part of my code. So Im trying to make the computer write a variable to a file (using the fs command) but for some reason its not working. Here is the code

usr = PossieTV -- this would be normally sent over rednet but for demonstration sake i am putting it here
usr2 = Mom -- this would also be sent over rednet normally
f = fs.open(usr.."/friendlist", "w")
print(usr2)
nFriend = usr2
f.write(nFriend)
runApp()

Never mind I figured it out :)/>/>

It keeps hanging after I try and register an account, it shows me, username!SP!password and then I try to login i get either server error or wrong username . i checked the MinebookServer and it shows the Usernames I register and says Command Status update. this seams like a really cool program if I can get it working on my server

I already made a program named MineBook and uploaded it to the forums, can you change the name? (Its Facebook in MC)

Make sure you have all of the server computers installed, Including the LogInServer and MakeUserServer (and they are three separate server computers not just one which means you must install each server program on a separate computer, I am working on a way to condense it to one server computer and it will be in the new update)

If that doesn't work then go into the actual MineBook program (open it with text edit or notepad) and make sure you've put in the server id's where it tells you

Thanks

I hate to say it, but RedBook is the name of a CD audio codec used in early games.

Well, the GUI is good, the options look good and it seems like a simple interface, you may have hit gold here.

Does this mean I must change the name again?

No. Call it what you want. I would call it MineSpace or CraftBook tho.

I think there is like two or three different "rednet" programs that were posted by diffrent people. (not included the other versions of

sounds good, mc social networking, no one is going to get off redbook now!

CraftBook is a Bukkit mod, that adds Integrated Circuits to Minecraft. I recommend sort of "Facecraft" or "Minefriends".

What you could do is just have it respond differently depending on the rednet message.
I do not see why you have to have 3 servers to do everything.
Can you explain to me why there must be 3 computers that handle a task that will happen rarely(registering)?

I made the server computer and the log in systems at two completely different times (like 5 months apart). By the time I developed my lua skills that far, my server computers were already wired into each other (in other words, it would take a while for me to change it to one server). However, I will take the time to change it to one server (because it is really annoying) and post it in the 1.3 update.

Looks good, ill be sure to try out 1.3 then. KIU

Could you please try and concatenate the servers into either one or two servers instead of three? Especially if you use Parallels, that should make it easier.

and you need some sort of status screens on the different servers so it doesnt look like there just hanging.

Make sure that you have the newest version of RedBook installed. The README file in the 1.1 download tells you how to adress this issue.

can someone plz help me install this idk which ids are which help me skype: thelegacyunlockin

The README file has detailed instructions on how to install RedBook, the server, and the admin programs. and also install more banners

Personally what I would like to see is a encryption routine for the passwords just in case someone hacks into the server. This would be great.
I mean we all know the level of human stupidity where someone might use their actual minecraft password instead of one that has nothing to do with their account.

I have a problem,I made an account and it said SERVER ERROR,I DID change the server computer ID to the id that I want,which is 0 and then I ran the redbookserver program on that computer (0) and I still get the error.

The error is caused by the file not being there.

OH NO :P/>/> I can see it now:

STATUS UPDATE said:

I am now eating my cooked pork *picture* take a look everyone

Everyone else said:

We don't want to know!!!

Why must we infect MC as well? why?!

i figured the file wasnt there.. is it fixed?

Okay so how do you see your friends "profile" like their statuses and such

You really should add pastebin links to these.

haydenf96, on 15 November 2012 - 12:59 PM said:

For right now, you have to search your friends to see their statuses. There is no ability to like or comment on statuses at the moment. In v1.4 I will perfect the status system to where it picks a friend at random and displays his/her status at the RedBook screen.

Pastebin download please?

ITS AWESOME!! but can you update it more, add colors, and make an unfriend thing so i can remove bad friends?? that would be awesome..
