Can't see any Models/Images from Race-Mode

[Expert]

Hi,

I'm new to MTA:SA and currently trying to host a Race-Server with MTA:SA DM on openSUSE 11 x64. The Server runs and i can start races, but i dont see the Images "3, 2, 1, Go" or the Nitro- and Repairmodels. And i don't really know if the way i trying to autostart the Race mode is the right. I only added it in the last line of the config with 'startup="1"', but if there is no player who vote for a Map, the Mode is "MTA:SA" and not "Race". Maybe i have to Autostart a Map, but don't know how it works.

Here is my mtaserver.conf

<config> 
    <servername>TF2Info.de | European Race-Server [100MBit/s]</servername> 
    <serverip>85.214.139.83</serverip>

    <resource src="webadmin" startup="1" protected="0"/>

</config> 

Hope you can help me.

We now know that you can't see them, but CAN others?

Besides, you need to use mapmanager to start a gamemode. To do this, do "gamemode [gamemode] [map]". (And yes I think it needs a map to start)

[Mr.Hankey]

you should start the race-mode manually once the server is up using /changemode race e.g: /changemode race race-vinwood

Just starting the gamemode with the server will not work.

Thanks for you answers.

I tried to start the server now without loading the ressource at startup. Then i typed "changemode race race-vinewood". But this gives me a error message that is repeated for many times, like an infinite loop.

Here's a screenshot of the console:

If i type "gamemode race" and then do a changemap its no problem. I don't know what the problem is...
