[Question] Trouble installing API (magicTurtle) on SMP server.

Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the magicTurtle API to function in SMP. I have it working in single player.

So first of all, the magicTurtle API should work in SMP right? I asked the mod of a server I play on to upload the magicTurtle API to the servers "computercraft/roms/api/turtle" folder. After it was uploaded, I tried to run it like I normally would in single player; rebooting, going into lua, os.loadAPI("magicTurtle"). Except instead of working it just comes back "file not found, false". I double checked with him that the file that was uploaded was correctly named "magicTurtle" without .txt at the end. We also tried putting the magicTurtle API file into the computer id folder of the turtle we were trying to use. Still can't find it. Server was also restarted (as well were all the turtles before we tried to use it).

Im hoping that there is some minor oversight on our part but neither of us can figure it out! Any help would be appreciated. D=

Server is running version 1.1r4 of minecraft, 1.3 of computercraft and bukkit (1.1r4)

Have you tried using the API?
If the files are in the roms/apis/turtle folder, it should be loaded automatically in all computers, you don't have to load it with os.loadAPI().

Ah… This information you have presented to me appears valid and correct.

I shall now enjoy magicTurtle. Thanks! =)
