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!

Treasure Disk Making

May as well since I'm here. Could do with images. --Lupus590 (talk) 17:31, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Follow the steps above and but stop before you make the rom folder (having a rom folder will not cause any issues but you don't need one if you only want treasure disks)

Make a folder called "treasure".

Inside the treasure folder, make another folder, the name of this folder will be the author of the disk

Make another folder inside the one you just named, the name of this new folder will be the name of the disk.

Any files and folders in the name folder will be in your disk.

Special Folders

Folders in rom:

apis - any files in the folder will be loaded as a api when the computer boots

autorun - any files in this folder will be ran when the computer boots

help - any files in this folder will be available in the help program

programs - any files in this folder will be added to the 'system path' allowing the program to be called from anywhere in the computer

help/licenses - licensing information goes in this folder

apis/command - any file in this folder will be loaded as an api, but only if the computer is a command computer. It should be noted that command computers will also load the default apis

apis/turtle - like above but with turtles

programs/advanced - these are programs which are only available on advanced computers

programs/command - like above but with command computers

programs/pocket - like above but with pocket computers

programs/turtle - like above but with turtles
