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

I just set up a tier2 computer case on my survival world and got everything inside, computer launches normally etc, but when i run the install oppm thing it just says "could not connect to the internet. Please ensure you have an internet connection. Unable to connect to the internet. " and then it says "package does not exist." I have not found anything on how to solve this and this does not even happen in oppm install tutorials ive watched, help please? I am on the Dungeons Dragons and Space Shuttles modpack on mc 1.12.2

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

I know this question is 2 years old, but still, if anyone else gets the same problem (and since the wiki says almost nothing about it), hopefully this will be helpful. The reason is obstructions. When sending a wireless message, OC checks a random line in a 3x3 tunnel between the source and destination. It then takes a few (inverse root of the gap) random coordinates inside that line and checks if there's a block there, summing their hardness. Then it spreads that hardness evenly across the entire distance, sums it, and subtracts that sum from the signal's strength. For example, say we have two computers on an even grassy ground with a distance of 9 between them. Grass block's hardness is 0.6. Most of the time, the signal will move through the air, and you will only need signal strength 9 to reach the other computer. However, sometimes the signal will try to move through the ground, which will require a strength of (9 + 0.6*9) ~ 15 (rounding up) The problem may also arise because of a single hard block. Say we have a single cobblestone (hardness = 2) somewhere between two computers. We also put the computers in the air to avoid the ground interference. There is a possibility that all the checks fall on this very block, which will make the OC assume that the entire distance is filled with these blocks. So, because of a single cobblestone block, you will need (9 + 2 * 9) = 27 strength to reliably reach the other computer. To illustrate this, here's the simple setup of two robots with a cobblestone pillar between them. The robot on the left sends a hundred messages to the other one, noting which ones of them got a reply, then moves back, and keeps repeating that 10 times. The results are on the second picture.

Have you ever wanted to have an easier experience using your computer? Is MineOS too laggy and OpenOS mayhaps a little too confusing? Introducing TherOS, a minimal (operating system/environment?) that provides basic tools to do what you want. These tools include: A graphical file manager with basic file management and creation abilities A program installer (can install from pastebin or github/literally any website ig, though quite outdated) A simple and easy-to-use installer A terminal that can be used to run whatever The OS currently has 2 versions, 0.2.2 (the latest beta release) and 1.0.0 or bleeding-edge (the lastest developments for the OS, though do expect bugs when using it, has more features.) 0.2.2 -- GitHub repo 1.0.0 -- Github repo Install: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tavyza/TherOS/bleeding-edge/sys/app/installer.lua && installer Please report all bugs or suggestions in the issues section of GitHub. (Yes, you can laugh at my code.)
