Hah, he didn't think of that.

Luckily for me, all my programs use an integrated API built by me that always (or 90% of the time) uses string.rep("-",w-2)

But, another OS? Really?

i just named it that because of my lack of creativity and the endless amounts of OSs

will add in a special screen sized mode

I meant, another OS? We've got enough of them.
Also, why not just use term.getSize() and build the enviroment using that?

1.I didn't know how at the time.
2.I still don't know how.
3.PlanetSide2 is coming out soon.

1. Well then, that is acceptable
2. … Then go check the wiki
3. And?
4. "Thanks"

Hey i noticed you are using alot of button commands in your OS, try adding a "if advanced PC then mouse buttons and clicks enabled"
I already have an api helping my program(tho its only advanced pcs)

say i want to choose "help" i can click on the words or a '[0]' (or whatever) but aat the same time also buttons on KB ?

just a suggestion

i want to add that but then we cant support users on tekkit because the if advanced pc is only for later versions, BUT i could use a get version and some other fancy coding.

Hey, you're welcome to copy off my iHomeOS code if you can find it.
Btw, looks sorta-nice, but I think you shouldn't make another OS, there's too many. ShadOS will hopefully take over.

hmm i think thats easy, perhaps place both the type of loops into a function (each with own function name) and add a startup part so itl be like this :

-- [[ startup : check for advanced! ]] --
if term.isColor() == true then
xifAdvanced()
  else
   xifBasic()
end

-- [[ The magical tours! ]] --

function xifBasic()
 while true do
  os.startTimer(0.1)
  local gnb,keyr = os.pullEvent()
   if gnb == "timer" then
    --THE MAGICAL TOUR GOES HERE!
----
----
----
----
   elseif gnb == "key" and keyr == 28 then
    return false -- cancells the tour!
   end
 end
end

function xifAdvanced()
 while true do
  os.startTimer(0.1)
  local gnb,keyr = os.pullEvent()
   if gnb == "timer" then
    --THE MAGICAL TOUR GOES HERE!
    ----
    ----
    ----
    ----
   elseif gnb == "key" and keyr == 28 then
    return false -- cancells the tour!
   elseif gnb == "mouse_click" then
    return false -- same but uses mouse too!
   end
 end
end

well see in tekkit if you do isColor() it will error out.

hmms…. derps
only thing i can think of is either two versions or make a config file:

Spoiler

-- [[ startup : check for advanced! ]] --
if fs.exists("CONFIG") = true then
tempfile = fs.open("CONFIG","r")
  if tempfile.readLine() == "true" then
   tempfile.close()
   xifAdvanced()
  elseif tempfile.readLine() == "false" then
   tempfile.close()
   xifBasic()
  end
else
  while true do
   tempfile = fs.open("CONFIG","w")
	print("Is this an Advanced computer?")
	print("Use 'Y' or 'N' ")
	reads = read()
	 if reads == "Y" then
	tempfile.writeLine("true")
	tempfile.close()
	 xifAdvanced()
	elseif reads == "N" then
	 tempfile.writeLine("false")
	 tempfile.close()
	 xifBasic()
	 end
  end
end

edit, i was tired so i accidently included the MMTh parts of the code lol, removed

Cool!

To solve that problem you just use os.version() That should work

if os.version() == "CraftOS 1.4" then
  --do stuffs with term.isColor()
else
  --do other stuffs without term.isColor()
end

oh derp that is true ;)/>/>
well either way works but Lasermans is now WAY much cleaner -_-/>/>

local function useColor()
if term.isColor then
  if term.isColor() then
   return true
  end
end
return false
end

if useColor() then
-- use color
else
-- don't use color
end

Works with old versions and non-advanced computers.

o_o just wait until theres so many OS' out there that someone takes up ASS OS

I just code for fun and that's really what the mod is about if people don't want an OS I don't really care.

The hell?

what?

There was some guy who randomly posted like three times about Beats by Dr. Dre. It's removed now, but that was weird anyway…

do not worry the internet part will be fixed soon currently i am trying to use firewolf/firefox for the browser replacing my not very well done version

:)/> I suggest parallel emailing! That way people can send emails to any computer at any time without relying on a server to host it!
The client can be the server at the same time and there could be a gui saying
"Message Received!" :P/> it'd be neat

I will think about adding this but we currently use client-server setup so that I can make people pay for email on server XD.
