[WIP] Util OS

---

Hello all!
I'm working in a project called Util OS. This isn't another OS, this OS, have real and useful functions! And is totaly in user interface, no command line!

Functions and the progress:

Spoiler

- Boot Loader (If you active any function this will boot on Util OS automatically) - Done! Thanks to remiX
- Installer - Done!
- Lock you computer with password -Done!
- Lock a door with a password - Done!
- Lock a door with a key - Done!
- Control the lights (Turn on redstone lights at night, and turn off them at day. Automatically.) 15%
- Principal screen - Done!
- Auto updater - Done!

At startup you can choose if you want to use Util OS, or CraftOS (if you don't active any function actived). And you can return to the shell in the Principal screen.

In this OS, i'm using this awesome API:

Mouse and graphic API by Bjornir90 - http://www.computerc...ent-of-buttons/

And i created my own API inspired on the Cornichen API that creates a window. (I haven't found the Cornichen post, sorry!)

And here some screenshots…

Here's the boot screen, after Boot Loader:

(You can disable this in the config menu…)

And, here's the principal screen, everything is "clickable":


The boot loader, please ignore the blue points… My error ):



I'll add more screenhots…

And here is the installer, if you want to try it!
But… The OS is completely in portuguese…
I'll translate it in the final version…
You need to have HTTP API activated!

To install, type in your computer: pastebin get FkKztnmp inst
and after downloading type: inst

The principal screen is a big image, with these icons :P/> So the computer needs to print only one image!

the door could use a darker shade under and to the right of the window part
and the light could use orange in the center and yellow on the outside

the boot screen could be animated (and disabled ) in the config menu
it gets annoying seeing a boot screen whenever i want to restart the computer

belongs in general, just pm a moderator to move it back when you release code

Ok! I liked your tips thanks! I'll tweak the icons ;)/> And do something about the boot screen…

No. This isn't another OS, this OS, have real and useful functions!

Grammar is a little off; otherwise looks pretty cool :)/>

Don't backseat moderate. It had code when you reported it, and still does.

i ran the pastebin thing to download it,
then ran it of course, and.. o_O where does it put the os? it won't boot the actual operating system, lol. And, yes i tried restarting the computer.

Ummm is it just me or does when you run inst it goes through fine and says its downloading and fine but none of the files install

not just you, Skullblade, that's for sure.

Please re-download the installer!
The os will boot automatically…
Sorry for that…

thank goodness i know a little spanish, because i really would not understand this otherwise..and..still don't.
all i knew is "press" and "continue" when i clicked shell, lol

:P/> Don't worry i'll translate it in the final version…

Seems like the new bootloader worked… B)/>

A litte tip:

In the menu:

Desligar = shutdown
Reiniciar = reboot
Shell = Shell :P/>

After clicking you need to press any key to proceed…

Is this abandonned ? I want to see what it is going to become :P/> And also I think you could add some computer function instead of physical functions like doors and lights ;)/>

Why do I need this, if it only adds doors and lights, I could just as easily get a VERY simple program to do it for me, does it help with development, is it for people who don't know lua or what?

P.S : I am not trying to be a jerk, just see what he says, I want to know why he made it.

That's what I ask to myself, and I want to see what features he is going to add, if he will add some :)/>

Well, i played in various tekkit servers, and usually, they don't have a door protection system, so, i build the door lock first, and after, the computer lock, and the other things…
I made this, to help me in those servers!

Moved.
