MTA:DM Server can only start race modes

[Argon]

Hi, after some work my server works now but only the gamemode race works The weird thing is that the vote mode also does'nt work I use fedora btw

[16:50:08] ERROR: ...tch/resourcecache/votemanager/votemanager_server.lua:380: bad argument #1 to 'upper' (string expected, got boolean) 
[16:50:22] ERROR: ...tch/resourcecache/votemanager/votemanager_server.lua:380: bad argument #1 to 'upper' (string expected, got boolean) 
  

This is what is written in server.log after executing /votemode

In that case you haven't configured your mtaserver.conf properly

As for the OP's issue, have you modified that file at all? Which distro are you using, and which version of the server did you download?

I have this:

MTA Server Version: 1.0-dp1

Distro: Fedora

mtaserver.conf:

Oke, will there be a fix for this problem? Or do we have to wait untill a new developer preview or the official release?

[kevuwk]

i'm not sure if anyone knows what the problem is yet, but the fix will be in a new dp

And do you know some more specific information about the crash? Is it only with specific distro's or ... becausse i have an other friend who owns a linux server but with slackware.

And btw if this could help you: I don't get anny output in my chatbox of the function /votemode, /gamemode, ...
