Rom/programs/shell And Resource Packs

So I am trying to make a boot priority program as a resource pack, but it won't override the shell file in rom/programs. I know this because I had another program come with it, and that program runs fine, but I even tried editing the rom/programs/shell file, and I saw none of my changes. What do I do?

Post your resource pack, of course. We can't know what you're doing wrong if you don't show us.

Okay, the pack itself looks fine. I'm not entirely sure what might be wrong, so perhaps someone who's had a chance to play with resource packs more can chime in. The only thing I can think of is perhaps your pack is getting loaded first somehow, then the shell file being replaced by the file in the main rom folder. That doesn't really make sense though, since you're supposed to be able to replace everything except bios.lua.

welp, i found a solution. the problem is, computercraft is loading resource packs and itself in alphabetical order. my resource pack began with a B, computercraft begins with a C, so it overwrites my shell program, which i think is very bad. dan200 really needs to make it execute itself first and then all of the resource packs. i renamed mine to D to test this, and it works now. but seriously, this really needs to be fixed. i'm trying to make a bios feature that lets you change the bios settings like you would on a real computer.
