ERROR: Couldn't find resource "resource name" check it...

[Guest]

I tried to add this resource just for test.

I have test.rar on resource folder. test.rar contains these two files, test.lua and meta.xml.

meta.xml looks like this:

and I have this on mtaserver.conf:

.

I'm getting this error on server console

ERROR: Couldn't find resource test. Check it exists.

Why it doesn't work?

What makes you think MTA supports rar files for resources? MTA supports resources as zip files and as folders. The latter is easier to work with while developing, the former is easier to distribute.

have to say i had the same problem ( using winrar )

when u create an archive with winrar it defaults to .RAR format

you have to tick the little .ZIP button and then delete the .ZIP extension it puts on the end of the filename and then create archive

should just say test but not test.rar or test.zip

Don't you have windows built-in zip compressor?

Right click selected files -> Send to -> Compressed folder

Yea i got it working now, thx. But i was wondering, can i add resource, and start it without quiting server and starting it?

[[DooD]Heavyair]

if you set yourself as admin you can stop and start resources from the console or admin screen ( press F8 for console / p for admin screen

to set admin look in mta server directory\mods\deathmatch

open ACL.XML

<group name="Admin"> 
      <acl name="Moderator"/> 
      <acl name="SuperModerator"/> 
      <acl name="Admin"/> 
      <acl name="RPC"/> 
      <object name="user.HeavyAir"/> 
      <object name="resource.admin"/> 

then change HeavyAir to what your username is

and then open ACCOUNTS.XML

and add this

<account name="Username here" password="password if u want one" />  

then either press P and start resource or press F8 and type start resource name here

[Mr.Hankey]

i think he asked for a way to add new resources to the server and use them without restarting the server so it recognizes the new resources

And to answer your question, yes just type "refresh" into the server console without the qoutes. Alternative you can just use /refresh in the game if you got admin access.
