Map/Resource Help

[Mogems]

Hey. I recently started making maps with the MTA map editor. I made a map for the RP server I play on, but couldn't find the resource.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be in Progrem Files > MTA San Andreas > Server > Mods > Deathmatch > Resources, so that's where I've looked but had no luck finding it. When I start up a LAN server I can start the resource by name, but I don't know where the server is finding the map from, but it's taking it from somewhere that I can't seem to find. I've tried re-installing MTA if anybody was going to suggest that, didn't work though.

If anybody knows where I can find it, or why I can't seem to find it, it would be greatly appreciated.

You're presumably running Windows Vista or 7. The problem is that these OS prevent applications writing to the Program Files directory. Two solutions:

- Run Multi Theft Auto as Administrator

- Install Multi Theft Auto outside the Program Files directory, e.g. c:\Multi Theft Auto.

You can find the files though if you really want them: see http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VistasSho ... ation.aspx

I am running it on Vista. I've tried running it as admin, didn't do anything. I installed it out of the default directory, and I got 79 more resources, but not my maps. And I had no luck finding anything in AppData.

Could I possibly do anything else? Or will there be an MTA update that would have the compatibility for Vista/Windows 7?

Read the manual:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Map_editor#I ... _to_see_it

I'd suggest finding your maps where that says, and copy them to your resource directory where you've installed MTA (outside your program files directory).

I go into Appdata > Local > VirtualStore > Program Files > MTA San Andreas > Server > Mods > Deathmatch, but all I get in the deathmatch folder is 'Logs' and 'Resourcecache'. No resources folder.

Nothing else I can do?

Fixed it. This can be deleted, or thrown into the archive, whatever the hell you guys do around here.
