-==== Add your resource to server.xml ====
-Open file "server.xml" in a text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++. The file is found in your server folder.<br>
-Scroll down to the "<resources>" tag, which is currently at the bottom of the xml file.<br>
-Add a "<resource>" tag inside the "<resources>" tag, and give it an attribute with the name "src" and a value of the name of your new resource.<br>
-For example:
-{{CodeSyntax|1=<resources>
-	<!-- you will need to put the resources in the folder before any work -->
-	<resource src="freeroam" />
-	<resource src="my_new_resource" />
-</resources>}}
-==== Create folder for your resource ====
-Open the "resources" folder, which is found in your root server directory.<br>
-Create a new folder called "my_new_resource".
-==== Create meta.xml for your resource ====
-Create a file called "meta.xml" inside your "my_new_resource" folder.<br>
-Add the following XML text to your meta.xml file:<br>
-{{CodeSyntax|1=<meta>
-	<info author="your_username_here" description="Description for your new resource here." />
-	<script src="my_server_script.js" type="server" language="javascript" />
-	<script src="my_client_script.js" type="client" language="javascript" />
-</meta>}}
-==== Edit meta.xml for your resource ====
-Fill in the defaults for the <info> tag, which include the author and description attributes.<br>
-A resource doesn't need to have both server and client scripts, however this example includes both.<br><br>
-A <script> tag is needed for each script (file) in your resource.<br>
-The src attribute for the <script> tag, is the filename of a script, which will be inside your "my_new_resource" folder.<br>
-A script can also be in a folder, or a folder in a folder, etc, inside your "my_new_resource" folder.<br><br>
-The type attribute for the <script> tag, can be either "server" or "client".<br>
-Server scripts run on the server, client scripts run on the client.<br>
-Different scripting functionality is provided for the server and the client.<br><br>
-The language attribute for the <script> tag, can be "javascript", "lua", or "squirrel".<br>
-A resource can use multiple languages, if desired.<br>
-It is also possible to transfer data between different languages, both in the same resource or in different resources, if desired.<br><br>
