Generate .minecraft storage medium folder for a specific address without os install

[Varscott11 0]

Is there a way to get it to generate the .minecraft address folder for a say floppy disk for example without doing an install of OpenOS. I've looked for hours and can't find a thing.

do you think like on computercraft when you make a program and then save it so that you can use it in other worlds ?

any file you create is created on the host machine, it has nothing to do with openos, but OC doesn't create empty dirs for those.

The idea is that each filesystem component (e.g. a floppy) will have a GUID, files created in that filesystem are created on the host (real) using that GUID as a dir name, with a path to your file.

So, in term of the filesystem api ( see http://ocdoc.cil.li/component:filesystem )

Assuming you have a proxy to a filesystem (this complexity is hidden behind the io library provided by OpenOS):

local filesystem_address = "deadbeaf-..." -- some filesystem component GUID
local fs_proxy = component.proxy(filesystem_address)
local file_handle = fs_proxy.open("data.dat", "w") -- open file
fs_proxy.write(file_handle, "some data to store in the file")
fs_proxy.close(file_handle) -- close the file

This creates the file on the host system, AND will create the GUID-named folder to store it (see world/opencomputers/${GUID}/data.dat )
