Where do I put lua scripts?

So, I followed a guide in the lua development section, but when I look for Spring/LuaUI/widgets folder to put the file in it isn't there. Do I have to go into the actual game file and put it in there? If so how do I do that?

You may be using the userland folder because you didn't install portable.

so if you are a windows user try searching your computer for the file "springsettings.cfg"

you widget needs to be in the same spring directory as the springsettings file.

If Spring/LuaUI/widgets doesn't exist, just create it, and then put your widget in there. (The Spring/LuaUI folder should already exist.)
Do I have to go into the actual game file and put it in there?
No.

spring only comes with a LuaUI\ folder but not with LuaUI\widgets\
(or at least spring_96.0_portable.7z is like that)

Which Lua guide was it?
This one is outdated anyway and should have been unstickied.
This one was wrong too, edited it now.
