if you know scripting, you'll probably fix it. but i think nobody will do it for you

login as an admin and type /debugscript 3 the nrestart the resource and see what errors appear there.

thanks for reply ... look what i want to say is is there a manual or tips to convert an old gamemode to compatible with new (more explain : the things that changed from an old resource script to new - maps not need to changed... just only .lua as i think (gamemode no map resource) / OR WHAT THE COMMAND OR THINGS CHANGED >>SPAWN ... FLOAT ...etc i dont know how to explain pretty well but i hope you understand what i mean .

The changelist of DP2.3 -> 1.0 is quite a big one, it's kind of hard to give you all of the info you need.

Your best chance would be to extensively debug the script, see at what part it stops and why. If you do know where the problem is, but don't know how to fix it, you can ask it right here on the forums. (or this topic, even)

setCameraMode + setCameraPosition + setCameraLookAt -> setCameraMatrix + setCameraTarget (for setting the camera to player mode again)

For the other 2 errors we need to see the script itself to help you with it.

can you explain more

setCameraMode replace it with -> setCameraTarget ?

getCameraMode replace it with -> ??? (idk)

setCameraPosition replace it with -> SetCameraMatrix ? *

setCameraLookAt replace it with -> SetCameraMatrix ? *

like this with which one SetCameraMatrix / setCameraTarget ??

* those mixed in same line isnt it ?

In Wiki(This function is deprecated. This means that its use is discouraged and that it might not exist in future versions, but there should be an alternative (usually more generic) way of performing what it once did.) im really confused

if i am wrong correct me & plz explain how to correct this

-- Before:
 
setCameraMode(player,"fixed")
setCameraPosition(player,0,0,0)
setCameraLookAt(player,5,0,0)
 
-- Now:
 
setCameraMatrix(player,0,0,0,5,0,0)

-- Before:
 
setCameraMode(player,"player")
 
-- Now:
 
setCameraTarget(player,player)

I hope it's a bit clearer now. Otherwise, just check the wiki pages and try to figure out how it works, it's really simple.
