Step 0: installing the mod(s)
It is very important to read everything carefully before asking questions. Also, the latest version this mod may not be compatible with the current Minecraft release.
- Install Risugami's ModLoader 1.1.
- Install Flan's ModLoaderMP Unofficial Client 1.1 v2.
- Install Minecraft Forge Recommended Client.
- Download the latest version of ComputerCraft
- Extract the .zip file in *minecraft folder*\mods\. (Tip: on the main screen of Minecraft, go to 'Texture Packs' and click on 'Open texture pack folder'. Go up one folder et voilà, there's your Minecraft folder.)
Step 1: crafting the console
The recipe is simple:
File:J4wd7.png
Right click on the console to use it.
These are important to remember:
| Shortcut | Usage |
|---|---|
| CTRL + T | Closes the current program. |
| CTRL + R | Reboots the console. |
| CTRL + S | Forcefully shuts down the computer. |
NOTE: You have to hold the keyboard shortcuts down for at least 1 second!
These are forced and will close the current program, even if it is still running.
Step 2: wiring it all up
The console accepts many forms of redstone. For simple structures, such as a password protected door, only a single line of redstone is needed. However, this mod can do much more. If you need to connect multiple wires to one side, you can just use RedPower's cables. Easy peasy. Or, you don't do anything in this part. The computer has some great games shipped with and it is even capable of loading web pages.
Step 3: programming the darn thing
If you've programmed before this shouldn't be hard. It'll feel very comfortable.
Type
edit <filename>
in the terminal to open the included feature-rich text editor. To get the hang of Lua if you're new, use
edit /rom/programs/redset
to view the code of a simple program 'redset'.
Navigating is easy.
> ls rom > cd rom rom> ls apis help programs startup rom>cd programs rom/programs>cd / >
To say it in English: ls lists the files and folders in a directory, while cd changes the current directory.
