What is a Lua Resource Pack?

A Lua Resource Pack (or LRP, as I will be calling it) is a resource pack which can add Lua files to the ROM directory and even create treasure disks! How cool is that?!

Anyway, lets get to it!

Tutorial for ROM modification

== Step One: Create a folder for your resource pack files.

So, my resource pack files will be stored in ResPack.

== Step 2: Creating the required folders.

Now, in your resource pack folder, create a 'assets' folder, then inside that, a 'computercraft' folder, then inside that, a 'lua' folder.

Your current folder setup should look like this:

== Step 3: Creating the ROM folder.

Nearly done, I promise!

Create a new folder called 'rom' in your 'lua' directory.

== Step 4: ROM modification!

Your pretty much done! Create whatever files and folders you want in that folder! Remember, all of those will go into the ROM!
