It should not be available in the computer as it's not a feature related to gameplay.

True, but it wouldn't be a gameplay advantage, nor would it directly affect anything. It would be a purely useless function outside of the scope of helping someone figure out an exact version of the mod they're using.

You ca just look on jar or FML's mod list.

Yet another function in the computer there to confuse people because they will think "What does this do?".

@Kodos-Atoz If you want to get the version a player uses, you can just make them look into their mod list in the Minecraft main menu, it's shown there. That's probably much easier than having an almost useless function.

Don't think I haven't tried to get them to look in the mods folder. It's seriously a chore to get them to comply to simple requests and common sense knowledge is seemingly rare. This would be a quality of life feature for those of us in IRC who are asked about things that were fixed versions ago due to people not updating. This would simply be a quicker way of finding out the version.

Then it will also be a chore to get them to print a certain function in OC, especially with things like "I cannot even get my computer to turn on". Good luck.

The mod list will still be easier, no matter how many problems you have with getting people to use it.

Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I'd still like to get Sangar's input on this before I close this (Or he does)

Well, on the one hand it seems a bit... superfluous, because, as pointed out, it's in the FML mod list, and there's even a mod that allows to you view that in-game (i.e. not just from the main menu). And it would require people to get a working computer first, which I feel invalidates a lot of the "it's for easier support" argument?

But I don't agree that it's completely out of place, either, since it could simply be interpreted as the "hardware version" of the computers, because that's what it basically is.

Another, IMHO more sensible option, would be to display it somewhere in the manual.

I'd be okay with it being in the manual, just so long as it's accessible /somewhere/ in game.

As long as it's not in component.computer...

I like the idea of it being a 'hardware version'

My friend says we should add a (And I'm going to quote him from here on out) program called ocdiag that will list the 'hardware version', all components in the computer, etc (End quote)

I'm not sure how good of an idea this is, but I wanted to put it here in the event it may inspire another idea in someone.

The main index.md file should be a perfect place for it, since it's titled "OpenComputers Manual", change to: "OpenComputers (ver) Manual".
