Hmmm, bit off-topic? You can better put such things in your signature instead of spamming a useless message. :D/>/>
(also I doubt if those codes really work)

if prompt == "Downloads" then
  print("It is working!")

How do you use prompt? I type in the command and it works, but how do i direct it to a page
will this work?

if prompt == "Downloads" then
  print("It is working!")

selectedOption = prompt({{"Option 1's Name", 4, 2}, {"Option 2's Name", 4, 4}})
if selectedOption == "Option 1's Name" then
   -- Do something...
elseif selectedOption == "Option 2's Name" then
   -- Do something else...
end

-- Basic Template:
-- opt = prompt({{[name], [x], [y]}, {[name], [x], [y]}, ...}})
-- if opt == [name] then
--	...

Any chance of including this in SKS-OS v2.0? It's been updated with a GUI and mouse support - not that it is released xD - If not, I'll run it on the same protocol.
Cross compatibility for the win!

In the next release, we plan to do something like a loading bar, reload and cancel and back and forward buttons.

The plugins might take some time to get working, but they should be able to do things like implement your own antivirus (so validating website loads), posting notifications, creating new dropdown menus from the address bar (so you could add your own menu the user could select options under, which could disable certain APIs), and other things. Please feel free to suggest anything you might want. I seriously have no idea how we might implement plugins :P/>/>

Any chance we might get an online database?
Like, use a .php file to upload the site to the net, and it has to use a .rcm or something like that, and you could connect to online sites using *.rcm and the server sites would use .lcm or something like that, just to make this a little bit more useful.

1lann and I had planned to include some form of HTTP websites (planned to be hosted on Dropbox, uploaded using PHP). Instead of different extensions, we were thinking you would be able to switch between RDNT and HTTP.

Yay! New Version! :D/>

Just released Firewolf 2.2, now with live searching (see search results as you type), a new search results sorting algorithm, ability to manually block IDs from your server, press control to cancel a read, and many more small improvements!

Have fun with it!

Uhhhhh, how to set up a farm on a web browser's plugin downloads center? I don't see that in other real life browsers… Also why would one need help on making a server? All you need to do is to head over to rdnt://servers then click New Server. Pick a name and all that, then hit edit pages, change the code in the home file, exit then hit start server.

But either way if you're suggesting to add websites like that to firewolf when HTTP support comes out, then you could even do that yourself XD

Adding to what 1lann said:

There is a tutorial on how to set up a server on rdnt://help, and click "Making a Server". The reason why we don't add tutorials/built in webpages that we don't need to and and are not essential (apart from features to the web browser) is because that is what users are for. Google don't have built in webpages on how to cook lamb roast, or harvest wool from sheep in their Chrome browser.

copy /serverhomepage home

GravityScore, on 20 December 2012 - 09:30 AM said:

The server edit is just like shell. So the copy command will work.

Say you have the file serverhomepage in the root of the computer, and you want to copy it into your server, you would do:

copy /serverhomepage home

Notice the / sign, signifying the root on the first file argument, but not on the second, so it is to be copied into the current directory, which is the server folder.

I think a lot of people get this confused… any idea on how to make it more clear? :P/>

local firewolf = Firewolf.new()

if found then
  local world = World.new()
  world.open()
  world.populate()
  world.implode()
  world.close()

Who ever said it was bloated? You might as well say Google Chrome is bloated, I'm sure its over 1 million lines. Everything is efficient in my opinion. It's just pretty complex. We of course, try to refine our source as much as possible and to be as efficient and fast as possible.

I am the creator of CraftOS+. I was wondering how you prevent programs from using fs.delete() with the antivirus. I wanted to make it with my program that it has to boot up from the startup program so that you can't boot it from a disk and bypass security.

GravityScore, on 05 January 2013 - 12:26 PM said:

No you're pretty much correct. We scan through the source. If we find something that looks suspicious, we ask the user and do whatever they select. Note that the new antivirus actually completely blocks really harmful functions such as rawset, setfenv, etc…

Allrrrihgt, so it has come to my attention that there is a seriously major flaw with ComputerCraft or Firewolf that causes minecraft servers to crash.

[boring part]
Some people probably already have noticed this, but randomly, when connecting to a website, ComputerCraft will freeze, server commands stop working, redstone/mechanisms stop working, breaking blocks doesn't drop anything and you cannot pickup or drop items. Basically the server breaks and the server must restart.
[/boring part]

So I have added some messages on what Firewolf is doing when loading a webpage. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if someone does encounter this problem and tell me/gravityscore the status message shown on the screen. It would help A LOT. Thanks in advanced

Interesting, I played around with it in my OS, and it was working perfectly fine. But then, I ran it and it immediately said "Thanks for using Firewolf made my 1lann and gravity" or whatever. That wasn't a big deal and everything, but now, every time it runs, it gives an error at line 1122 saying a "}" was expected. However, I looked at the code and it looked like it was closed properly. Can you guys look into it? It completely stopped running now…

Edit: It's in fact a major bug! Every Firewolf program I run will get updated and do exactly what I said before.

I just tried this on a friends firewolf server and I also made a test one and it still works on it. I don't know how your antivirus works but I think if you CAN add protection against that, you should.

karelmikie3, on 28 January 2013 - 03:47 AM said:

Oooooo that's a tricky one to do, and it shouldn't be. Since Firewolf only downloads the page it's loading to the computer the request was performed on, the API you'll want to load isn't downloaded, and therefore os.loadAPI will fail. So you'd have to download the API from the server onto the computer before you load it, which is easy to do, but your page will then trigger the antivirus.

1lann, maybe we could override os.loadAPI and get it to include all the files on the server's computer in the function's search path, and load the API from the server computer if the API's found. We would also have to keep track of all the loaded APIs so we could unload them when the website has finished, so they don't interfere with anything in Firewolf, and aren't able to perform any malicious functions.

Basically, right now you'd have to download the API file from the server, save it, then os.loadAPI it. This will trigger the Firewolf antivirus though, unless you use the built in download API.

… Then again… I could add built in inline scripting to the server (like PHP) which could be used to download files to a server before the script is run on the client…
You could add code between <?script and ?> tags at the top of the file, which would be run on the server computer, but then removed from the source code before it is sent to the client. This shouldn't be to hard.

As for loading images, files and APIs from the server computer, there are functions that allow you to do that easily. I'll properly document them on the wiki when I get home.

When using if statements, you can't compare 2 variables at once like you are. This:

Has to be this:

if X == 3 and Y == 17 then

  local event, button, mouseX, mouseY = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
  if mouseX == "1" and mouseY == "2" and button == "1" then

Wait, previous statement was a derp. Apparently, Firewolf did not update properly. I deleted, reinstalled and ran again. The server works now, but the hideBar function still does not work.

os.pullEvent, term = hideBar() -- To hide the bar
term.clear()


os.pullEvent, term = showBar() -- To (re)show the bar
term.clear()

Alright, fix hopefully 100% completed. I couldn't figure it out on hwo to do it purely from calling a function, so you have to do it exactly like this:

os.pullEvent, term = hideBar() -- To hide the bar
term.clear()


os.pullEvent, term = showBar() -- To (re)show the bar
term.clear()

Hopefully I can make this better in the future, this is what's working as of right now

It…didn't work….I got an attempt to index nil when trying to call hideBar()

EDIT: After testing, it seems that the term api is not returned. It's becoming nil after the function call.

ooooo please do. a php equivalent would be great for firewolf websites.
actually, an easy way to do this would be to use something like –[[{ and }]] to delimit it

Putting the PHP-like script in comments and then not removing it sorta ruins the point of secrecy. :P/>

The script should be run on the server side, and it may contain secret password info for things (databases, websites, etc…), which would then be un-viewable to people downloading the website.

Firewolf really is amazing. It all works so perfect. Looking forward to HTTP support because I have no idea what it will add :P/>

Though I have one question: will there be or are there possibilities to host multiple pages on one computer? For example rdnt://website.com/home and rdnt://website.com/info ?

It would be helpful, but the way we implemented it a few versions ago was quite terrible (didn't work whatsoever), and when editing websites, it becomes a lot harder to sandbox what you're doing into a single folder without overriding the entire fs, io and some of shell libraries.

Plus, considering the way we're implementing HTTP, it becomes almost impossible to keep consistency between the way you can create websites for RDNT and HTTP. This wouldn't allow you to easily move an RDNT server over to HTTP.

1. Sorry! There currently is no way to remotely edit computers
2. You can expand the distance of a server by putting the server higher up, that's all you can do I suppose right now. You could probably get some kind of networking system that wraps over the rednet api
3. And sorry again! There is currently no way to run multiple servers on one computer, however you can have multiple pages on one computer. I might add this in the future.

if os.getComputerID() == -- Numbers or a variable[Possible table]

term.clear()

--What you wish to do if they enter when banned

else

--Enter page content here

end

DatMonkeyDew, on 21 March 2013 - 09:32 AM said:

Also a suggestion

Add a tickbox to make the server hidden, accessable but hidden
blocked IDS can use cache files to connect to the server, please fix this

A way to add both of these is by adding these options to server set ups and able to change in the manage option in server:

Hide adress?:
[ Yes ] [ No ]

Enable cache ability?:
[ Yes ] [ No ]

EDIT : Forget about the Cache thing, if you want to ban an ip from viewing your page simply edit your page and put this at the start

if os.getComputerID() == -- Numbers or a variable[Possible table]

term.clear()

--What you wish to do if they enter when banned

else

--Enter page content here

It loads an image from the server (Must be in the server directory) just like paintutils.loadImage, so it's used like

image = loadImageFromServer("image1")
paintutils.drawImage(image, 1, 1)

overfritz, on 23 March 2013 - 01:55 PM said:

Theoretically, couldn't it be possible to create a operating system using Firewolf as it's base? For example, you go to the main page (rdnt://firewolf), then using the address bar you go to various sub-sections (rdnt://games, rdnt://utilities, etc.). And then, of course, you can browse to the various websites (rdnt://examplesite) all in one "web-based" OS. Other programs could be hosted by other players in the world (in SMP) or by yourself (in SSP) using the web to do various functions (turning on lights, opening a door, playing a song in a disk drive, an IRC client/IM Client, etc.) - to me the possibilities are almost endless, especially on a SMP server.

If this is possible, please let me know. If you guys behind Firewolf are OK with me using Firewolf as the base to run everything, do let me know. If not, I can always find another browser to base this off of (but Firewolf looks like the coolest one)

overfritz, on 23 March 2013 - 05:02 PM said:

Thanks 1lann! I'll be working on the OS (codenamed FireWolfOS, which will likely be it's final name) that is very, very web based. The only other program I can think of that I would add in as a local page would be Thunderbird, which would allow for something special - communication with other people registered for Thunderbird via "email". Basically, FireWolfOS (aka my first OS, which I will spend a ton of time on) will emphasize web programs over native ones, permit inter-server communications, allow people in Singleplayer to contact Multiplayer friends, and make using programs so easy that you practically don't need to download anything. Oh wait, you don't.

Virtually any program will either be done on a local page, or via a server website that runs the code. So thanks again 1lann!

Sorry, this can't be anything on Firewolf's end. I can't replicate the problem. shell.running Firewolf from within the middle of anything doesn't cause me any issues. Could you tell me how you're running it? If anything is being overridden (os.pullEvent)? Or if you're using a custom coroutine system?

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

os.pullEvent = oldPullEvent

oldPullEvent = os.pullEvent

Yes that does seem to be the source of the problem. Is it possible to save a copy of the orignal os.pullEvent, and reset it before launching Firewolf? Considering all control-t's are caught by Firewolf, and simply make the program exit, reseting os.pullEvent shouldn't compromise security at all.

Something like:

local oldPullEvent = os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

-- ...
os.pullEvent = oldPullEvent
shell.run("firewolf")
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

Not just firewolf, I think it should be done before most programs… maybe like this:

local oldPull = os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

local ok, err = pcall(shell.run, 'firewolf')
if not ok then
  os.pullEvent = oldPull
  local ok, err = pcall(shell.run, 'firewolf')
  if not ok then
	-- ok so its not a problem from overriding the pullEvent, handle this error however you wish.
  end
  os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
end

that way it is tried first with the override, then if that fails, restore it to original, try again, then override it again once that is finished.

When I create a website and start it it isn't showing up on my other computer, I'm pretty new to computercraft so I'm not really sure what I did wrong.
the computers are a few blocks apart. the server computer is just an advanced computer with a modem on the back and the other is an advanced computer with a disk drive on the left, printer on the right, wired modem to monitor on the top and a moedm on the back. wrapped the modems in lua with <code>modem=peripheral.wrap("back")</code>
and <code>modem.open(7)</code> on both computers.

I created the website ,started it and went to the other computer and left the field as rdnt:// and it didn't show up.
anyone know what I did wrong?

All that is on that line is for deleting a file in the .Firewolf_Data folder. When I try to change the theme it says downloading then Theme Corrupt, then it gives the same error as above (in the quote) except on line 2126.
