Threads are added in 1.6.4, Nexarius seems to have made a very useful program that updates OpenOS even on lower modpack versions. https://oc.cil.li/index.php?/topic/1261-openos-updater/

I just tried it again (but I have OpenOS 1.6) and it updated normally to OpenOS 1.6.8

 

Now that the OS is broken there isn't really a way to fix it. I suggest that you make another HDD with a fresh copy of OpenOS then update it to 1.6.8 and then insert your old HDD and copy the files to your new one.

i fix it by deleting the broken hard disk. luckly my server program was on a seperate floppy disk so no data lost.

 

thank you (all) for helping me.

 

may god thank you for your good help

 

 

but i have a new question if you have the time

 

by trying this power full thread system my self i runned in to a problem

 

i don't know if this is even possible but what i am trying to do is this

 

NOTE: that is know that useing a thread in this scene is 100% Unnecessary but remeber this is a simple test

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thread = require "thread"

e = require "event"

 

running = true

 

t = thread.create(function()

  e.pull("touch")

  

  running = false

end)

 

while running do

  --some random thing to run a io.read() will be a good combo

 

  print( "you said: "..io.read() )

end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

so this ends the thread as inspected but does not end the loop my guess is that all things in the thread function is local only but what can i then do to update the "running" value in the global process aka in the while loop

 

all help will be great so please help me again
