program
Vars | |
alert_able | Whether this program can send alerts while minimized or closed. Used to show a mute button per program in the file manager |
---|---|
alert_pending | Whether to highlight our program in the main screen. Intended for alerts, but loosely available for any need to notify of changed conditions. Think Windows task bar highlighting. Available even if alerts are muted. |

category | Category in the NTDownloader. |
computer | Device that runs this program. |
extended_desc | Short description of this program's function. |
filedesc | User-friendly name of this program. |
filename | File name. FILE NAME MUST BE UNIQUE IF YOU WANT THE PROGRAM TO BE DOWNLOADABLE FROM NTNET! |
ntnet_status | NTNet status, updated every tick by computer running this program. Don't use this for checks if NTNet works, computers do that. Use this for calculations, etc. |
program_icon | Font Awesome icon to use as this program's icon in the modular computer main menu. Defaults to a basic program maximize window icon if not overridden. |
program_icon_state | Program-specific screen icon state |
program_state | PROGRAM_STATE_KILLED or PROGRAM_STATE_BACKGROUND or PROGRAM_STATE_ACTIVE - specifies whether this program is running. |
required_access | List of required accesses to run the program. Any match will do. |
requires_ntnet | Set to 1 for program to require nonstop NTNet connection to run. If NTNet connection is lost program crashes. |
requires_ntnet_feature | Optional, if above is set to 1 checks for specific function of NTNet (currently NTNET_SOFTWAREDOWNLOAD, NTNET_PEERTOPEER, NTNET_SYSTEMCONTROL and NTNET_COMMUNICATION) |
tgui_id | Name of the tgui interface |
transfer_access | List of required access to download or file host the program. Any match will do. |
ui_header | Example: "something.gif" - a header image that will be rendered in computer's UI when this program is running at background. Images are taken from /icons/program_icons. Be careful not to use too large images! |
usage_flags | Bitflags (PROGRAM_CONSOLE, PROGRAM_LAPTOP, PROGRAM_TABLET combination) or PROGRAM_ALL |
Procs | |
can_run | Check if the user can run program. Only humans and silicons can operate computer. Automatically called in run_program() ID must be inserted into a card slot to be read. If the program is not currently installed (as is the case when NT Software Hub is checking available software), a list can be given to be used instead. Arguments: user is a ref of the mob using the device. loud is a bool deciding if this proc should use to_chats access_to_check is an access level that will be checked against the ID transfer, if TRUE and access_to_check is null, will tell this proc to use the program's transfer_access in place of access_to_check access can contain a list of access numbers to check against. If access is not empty, it will be used istead of checking any inserted ID. |
event_id_inserted | Called when an ID card is added to the computer. |
event_id_removed | Called when an ID card is removed from computer. |
run_emag | Called by the device when it is emagged. |
tap | Runs when the device is used to attack an atom in non-combat mode. |

Proc Details
can_run
Check if the user can run program. Only humans and silicons can operate computer. Automatically called in run_program() ID must be inserted into a card slot to be read. If the program is not currently installed (as is the case when NT Software Hub is checking available software), a list can be given to be used instead. Arguments: user is a ref of the mob using the device. loud is a bool deciding if this proc should use to_chats access_to_check is an access level that will be checked against the ID transfer, if TRUE and access_to_check is null, will tell this proc to use the program's transfer_access in place of access_to_check access can contain a list of access numbers to check against. If access is not empty, it will be used istead of checking any inserted ID.
event_id_inserted
Called when an ID card is added to the computer.
event_id_removed
Called when an ID card is removed from computer.
run_emag
Called by the device when it is emagged.
Emagging the device allows certain programs to unlock new functions. However, the program will need to be downloaded first, and then handle the unlock on their own in their run_emag() proc. The device will allow an emag to be run multiple times, so the user can re-emag to run the override again, should they download something new. The run_emag() proc should return TRUE if the emagging affected anything, and FALSE if no change was made (already emagged, or has no emag functions).
tap
Runs when the device is used to attack an atom in non-combat mode.
Simulates using the device to read or scan something. Tap is called by the computer during pre_attack and sends us all of the related info. If we return TRUE, the computer will stop the attack process there. What we do with the info is up to us, but we should only return TRUE if we actually perform an action of some sort. Arguments: A is the atom being tapped user is the person making the attack action params is anything the pre_attack() proc had in the same-named variable.
