Where to put Resource Packs for Server?

Okay, running a local server.

I'm trying to set some programs to be available to all.

Dan posted this on a how to make a resource pack.
"If you're playing in multiplayer, you need to install the resoucepack to the server. To do this: create the "resourcepacks" folder manually, and drag the resource pack zip file to it."

I downloaded the example1 pack from that post.

Added a couple of programs from the turtle program threads.

posted it into ..\desktop\MCserver\resourcepacks\ folder (leaving off full path cause not needed)
The server pack is a modified Direwolf20 pack, run on a Windows7 x64 box.

But the programs are not showing up.

I've made no changes to the example Resource pack, except rename it and added the programs to the Programs subfolder.

Can someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong? I have not found where exactly the resourcepacks folder is suppose to be on the server setup, so I think that maybe the problem.

Including the resource pack if you want to see that.

Thanks.

You don't need a resource pack to add programs to a server. You just need to put them in the programs folder on the server.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an antiquated old man.

What Programs folder, there does not appear to be one?

Did you relaunch the installation after putting the pack in place?

Yes forum search does help, and I used that thread…. but this is the only line I read that talks about setting up a pack on a server. Where is that folder suppose to be created if not in the base folder where the MODs, Config, etc folders are created at?

As I said in my OP… I did that. It is even stated where I put it…. but it is not working… HENSE why I am asking… what am I doing wrong? I am pretty sure I've done something wrong, cause no one else seems to be asking this question, hense either no one is trying or no one is having an issue.

@Bomb
Yes it has been restarted a few times since then.

Okay this is going to sound like a stupid question, but it has to be asked…

Are you using a version of Minecraft that supports resource packs?

Not a dumb question…I probably should of put that in there.

using FTB's Direwolf 20s current beta pack… 1.6.4 Pack Version 1.0.14

Checking on this… any info available?
Please and thanks.

Just like it used to for server's texture-pack

You need to provide a direct link to the pack in your "server.properties" file.

resource-pack=http://www.example.com/link/to/your/pack.zip

Edit: nevermind..

does it come up under the resource pack menu in Minecraft?

Nope, does not show up. Did I make the file correctly? (Attached in OP).

And I take it by that response the "resourcepacks" folder just goes into the same folder as say.. CONFIG and MODS folders correct? If so… my bet is I did something wrong with the resource pack.

if you've indeed put the `resourcepacks` folder in the root Minecraft directory with mods and such then yeah, you've got something wrong with your pack.

It's always easier just to test your packs in your client and then once they work put them onto the server. If it comes up on the client, but not on the server then thats about the limit of help I can provide as I don't do much with servers often.

Side-note: you really should put the Turtle programs under assets/computercraft/lua/rom/programs/turtle/ that way they're only available for Turtles.

Thanks much theoriginalbit.
I guess I've done something dumb in the resourcepack. I'll go back and change those as you suggest.

LOL… that fixed it…. adding the /turtle/ folder.

Strange, without it all programs should have just appeared on all Computers and Turtles.
