How to save a turtle program.

How and where do you place a program you have made for a mining turtle, in notepad, so that it can be used on all turtles on all maps?

In your saves folder that has the name of your map, there should be a folder named "computer" there are the folders that represent the "id" of your computer, computer ID 1 folder is "1" and so on.

type "id" on any computer to see that computer's ID, then copy that file you made in notepad to the needed folder and remove the extension from the file, example:

YourProgramName.txt —> YourProgramName

Do you mean in /rom/?
it would be /rom/programs/turtle

Lets start from the top: are you in SSP or SMP?

Not sure about the original poster but in my case I run on a multiplayer server with some friends of mine. Am looking for the same thing, one place to put turtle programs so everyone can use them with all turtles. It's getting old having to upload new files ever time someone builds themselves a new turtle.

Please any assistance would be appreciated.

If you convince the server owner to add the files to the zip (lua/rom/programs/turtle), they will be present on all turtles. Or you could use a rednet file server.
