Player_4 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I've followed these instructions, and 2 things happen. Either: a) Black screen with chatbox and "Nightly SA Build 1.0" bottom right. That's all. b) Same as above, except there is sometimes a progress bar with "0 out of 555 bytes complete". It's frozen and never moves. I've waited for 10 minutes with no activity. Just the same old screen. I've read about old "acl.xml" causing black screens, but I don't think it applies to fresh installs. Either way, deleting it then reinstalling the nightly build doesn't help. This is "mtasadm-1.0-r574.exe". Also, this is what is in the console [19:08:55] ERROR: Couldn't find meta.xml file for resource 'editor' [19:08:55] Loading of resource 'editor' failed [19:08:55] Resources: 100 loaded, 0 failed [19:08:55] ERROR: Couldn't find resource map_editor. Check it exists. [19:08:56] ERROR: Couldn't find resource editor. Check it exists. [19:08:56] Server started and is ready to accept connections!

Apologies if this is the wrong section. I was unsure whether it was client or server related.

Player_4 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for replying. I have downloaded "multitheftauto_resources-r97.zip" and extracted it to /mods/deathmatch/resources, as per the instructions. I even extracted it to /server/mods/deathmatch/resourcecache hoping something would happen. Inside the "editor" folder is: exports.lua 1KB freeroam.lua 1KB meta.xml 1KB Is this correct to have? PS This was all done before I started the thread, so the original post still stands...
robhol Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 /mods/deathmatch/resources /server/mods/deathmatch/resourcecache Tried /server/mods/deathmatch/resources, though? That's where you should place it.
Player_4 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Oh! I guess I assumed since they were all zips, I shouldn't put folders in there. Now I'm off to finally play with the new editor. Thank you very much for your time, robhol.
robhol Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 No, resources can be either zips or folders - the former is of course easier to install, but the latter is of course much easier to work with for scripters. And no problem.
robhol Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Did you unpack the folder 'editor'? Already solved... do you even read threads before replying?
RaeNRaeN Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 When i connect to my server: [12:14:30] ERROR: Unable to start resource editor; [12:14:30] Server started and is ready to accept connections! [12:14:30] CONNECT: Sto connected (IP: 127.0.0.1) Help me plz
Dark Dragon Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 you need to put the folders inside "editor" in the "resources" folder means: the folders edf, editor, editor_gui, editor_main, freecam, move_cursor, move_freecam, move_keyboard, msgbox, tooltip all go into: /server/mods/deathmatch/resources (yeah it's a bit confusing, but thats why it doesn't find a meta.xml for "editor")
