i'm probably posting about this too late but  when i tried to run it after installing i got an error

nevermind it was because of where i was running it from

also in OpenOS you can use

require("shell").parse(...): arguments, options

So as of writing this, I only know of one file extension that actually means something in OC, which would be .lua

But I'd like to make more file extensions, would there be a way to do this? My end goal is to make it so that if you try to edit something with a certain file extension it won't let you, and maybe also be able to run it without typing the extension, like you can with lua files.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

as far as i know, file extentions just straight up don't matter. Even if you have none, you can still run the file as a lua file.

Running "hello" will check for a file named  "hello", and if it isn't there, it then checks for one called "hello.lua". I think you can change this in /lib/shell.lua (or /lib/core/full_shell.lua, can't remember exactly), it would be in the shell.execute function

Also, sorry for replying 7 years late

LiEwYe is correct on this one, you would have to modify, or create, a new shell for OpenOS. If you were trying to prevent modification, that would have to be done by editing the "edit" function in /bin. As far as colour for file extensions goes, I believe that is define in /home/.shrc.

.shrc just runs whatever commands when sh.lua is started (in most cases, at boot)

(shell run command)

File color, when you do ls, is defined in /bin/ls.lua (which is what is ran when you do ls)

Hello! I have spent some time creating a package manager and repository.

Github: https://github.com/Tavyza/TherOS_community_repo

# Installation:

wget -f -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tavyza/TherOS_community_repo/main/pkg-man/src/tocr.lua /tmp/tocr.lua
/tmp/tocr -i pkg-man
rm /tmp/tocr.lua

To add a package to the repository:

1. Fork it
2. create a folder (this will be the package name)
3. make a package.tc file (should contain the full raw github link to your program)
4. dependencies.tc (same as package.tc but for libraries your package would need)
5. add your package to the end of repo_list.tc in the root of the repository
6. make a pull request.

Questions? Issues? Suggestions? Comment them or open an issue in the repo.

https://github.com/Tavyza/TherOS_community_repo/tree/main/windowmanager

I added it to the TOCR

i want to make a GUI based OS (hopefully one with a windows GUI instead of a MacOS one..) but i realised i can't actually figure out the screen or GPU APIs. (too complicated and doesn't give enough information) so i need your help!

what i require:

a way to import images (MineOS paint images, custom painting tool or something)

ability to show text alongside images (clock and other cool stuff)

 

stuff that isn't required but you can add if you allow it:

ability to scale images (not required but could be cool)

transparency

 

please create a framework for this (or not i'm not forcing you )

dunno how old this is but i have one i had to rebuild the installer for in the TherOS Community Repo

https://github.com/Tavyza/TherOS_community_repo/tree/main/windowmanager

oh it doesn't have any sort of images though so

forgor the last few updates, but this is the latest working release

get an internet card

if you mean actually use your ingame computer as a web browser, you can't. well, you can but it involves making something that can interpret html, javascript, and css, and i don't think that would be possible with how small opencomputers disk drives are

might add this to the TOCR and refine it some

Version 1.1.3 has been pushed to the bleeding-edge branch.

Added #8 File manager scrolling and installing programs from floppy disk

Fixed #7 (hopefully) installer version pulling works now

you need a floppy disk or drive with an init.lua file in the / folder

Do you have an install floppy available, like with the scripts and stuff to install offline?

No, not at the moment. That was a feature in the alpha builds, and i'm working on reviving it in the bleeding edge branch, but that branch has its own issues.

On 6/1/2024 at 6:01 AM, melanchol_69 said:

Ohh, I forgot to mention, it will be on github as a zip folder which's contents you can add to a specified filesystem folder in your savegame

you could make an installer that pulls it from github

it seems i cant install it

I might be a bit late to this, but you can look at how i did it, thought this has no actual "button", its just clickable text.

I shall try my hardest to make it fancy and nice, however it will not be hosted on pastebin, it will be a manual download.

Why not github?

Looks amazing! would like to see this become a thing.

Do you have an internet card?

Note: main and bleeding-edge are now the same version.

Notice - This relies on libraries provided in OpenOS. You must use OpenOS for this to work.
