[Solved]Odd problem.

[SirTerning]

Have made a map exclusive for a server atm but it wont start as it says *Error at starting (mapname)*

Something about the string *race/*

but in the meta it are showing that the destination is set to Race and gamemode shows race

- <meta>
 <info gamemodes="race" type="map" name="(Mapname)" author="redpvp" version="1.0.0" description="It's just a fun map. Report bugs if some found :)" /> 
 <map src="Wanken Orly.map" dimension="0" /> 
- <settings>
 <setting name="#skins" value="[ "random" ]" /> 
 <setting name="#maxplayers" value="[ 32 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#gamespeed" value="[ 1 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#ghostmode" value="[ "false" ]" /> 
 <setting name="#time" value="12:0" /> 
 <setting name="#vehicleweapons" value="[ "false" ]" /> 
 <setting name="#minplayers" value="[ 2 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#weather" value="[ 2 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#gravity" value="[ 0.008000 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#waveheight" value="[ 0 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#respawntime" value="[ 5 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#locked_time" value="[ true ]" /> 
 <setting name="#duration" value="[ 1800 ]" /> 
 <setting name="#respawn" value="[ "none" ]" /> 
 </settings>
 </meta>

(Mapname) is not the actuall name of the map as It are still in beta

When trying to load the map the console threw this error.

[11:12:41] Starting race-Wanken (mapname)
[11:12:41] INFO: onGamemodeMapStart(race-Wanken (mapname))

Try removing the space in "Wanken Orly.map".

Use something like "WankenOrly.map".

Didnt work..

Most certainly, your 'Wanken Orly.map' file can't be parsed as valid xml. Check that file for typos.

ETA: Your meta.xml isn't valid xml either, since lines like this one:

<setting name="#skins" value="[ "random" ]" />

should look like:

<setting name="#skins" value='[ "random" ]' />

Well as the first post show the full meta fila, cant somebody that actually understand the meta file help me ?

Oh and it are made in the MTA:DM Map editor.

Well, it does work now, found out by a little look on other maps, going on them trough notepad that i didnt have spawn points so it works perfectly now

<setting name="#skins" value="[ "random" ]" />

should look like:

<setting name="#skins" value='[ "random" ]' />

that doesn't matter, it's basically the same.

show us the first 10 lines of your .map file, it seems like something has been mixed up.
