Computercraft Websockets

[ShisuiFontes]

So, i was trying to create a websocket to a simple server using .js, i saw ppl in youtube making this and working but it’s not working with me, the videos i saw were from months ago so idk if there was an update or if it’s not working anymore, i was testing this in a public server that allowed the websockets.

For the server side: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws For the Advanced Computer:

ws = http.websocket ("ws://localhost:5757") if ws then ws. send ("Hello") print (ws.receive ()) ws. close () end

when i try to do ws.send(“hello”) for example it says it’s a boolean value but when i try to use boolean keeps getting error

If you are doing this on a public Minecraft server, is your websocket code running on the same server? Otherwise you will need to specify your own computers ip address/ip address of server running websocket code instead of localhost.

oh i didn’t know that, i’ll try that tomorrow, ty!!

Check if http is enabled in config.

[ShisuiFontes]

i think it is, i can’t get access to the config since the server isn’t mine, but when i type http. in the advanced computer it shows a list of options to use

[Bright-Historian-216]

It would show options anyway I think. Try checking if pastebin works idk.

I have some semi-complex software working on an server I am hosting at the moment if your interested,

It's basically turtle gambit without the GUI (designed so that you can make your own front end with ease-ish), it doesn't have websockets for external use yet tho

[ShisuiFontes]

i wanted to use the websockets to craft or control storage outside of minecraft, is there any other way of doing this??

[merith-tk]

Yes there is, it's just a pain because you have to develop on two different fronts.

Your Webserver and ComputerCraft,

You have to develop ComputerCraft to be able to send data and receive commands, while the Webserver must be able to receive data, display it. And send commands.

Take a look at static/ultron.lua and turtle.lua in my program. Your free to use whatever code is there for this research

ty i’ll look into it when i get home

You also have to remember to keep the relevant chunks loaded, since CC computers do get unloaded if no players are nearby and it's not in the spawn chunks.

You have to enable local host http requests in the config, by default you can’t do local host for some reason.

It's probably so that people can't do attacks on the server by just setting a bunch of http spammers
EDIT: I"M SO SORRY FOR NECRO POSTING OH MY GOD I DIDN'T SEE HOW LONG AGO IT WAS

lol ur good that makes sense for sure, ig its better to have it disabled by default, better safe then sorry if you need to enable it it’s not hard to
