Ok, i see. But wont that only load my .txd for me and their version of that .txd for them?

No. Txd functions load a file located in the resource, so you send it to them like any other resource file.

And I think you could do a bit better as far as searching goes - my 4 days old topic on this matter isn't even off the first page in this subforum yet. varez posted a pretty comprehensive answer in it too.

Ok, im confused.

I have got this at the bottom of the lua of my GM:

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(),
function()
my_txd = engineLoadTXD ("data/billbox.txd")
engineImportTXD(my_txd, 7300)
end

Now where do i put billbox.txd? because i cant see the billboard that i edited, it is as it was before.

if im getting any problem i just trying to search, look at somebody else job, and don't bothering the forums..

in that way i learned php, 3d modelling, flash, and much much more.. trying to do as much as i really can by myself..

you need to add your txd file to meta.xml

<file src="myfile.txd" />

I am lost, i got the meta.xml configured correctly, i got it loading, but the billboard just doesnt seem to change.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(),
function()
     my_txd = engineLoadTXD ("data/billbox.txd")
engineImportTXD(my_txd, 7300)
end
)

Thanks mate, i will try it.

[XxCozzaxX]

Ok, i must be doing something wrong, why doesnt this work?

function replaceModel() 
 txd = engineLoadTXD("[color=#FF0000]data/billboard.txd[/color]", 401 )
 engineImportTXD(txd, 401)
end
[color=#FF0000]addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel)[/color]
 
addCommandHandler ( "billboard", replaceModel )

and the meta.xml:

<meta>
   [color=#FF0000]<script src="billbox.lua" type="client"/>[/color]
[color=#FF0000]    <file src="data/billbox.txd" type="client"/>[/color]
</meta>

And yes, the file is in this folder:

/mods/deathmatch/resources/billboard/data

Any ideas why it shouldn't work?

[dzek (varez)]

txd = engineLoadTXD("data/billboard.txd", 401 )
<file src="data/billbox.txd" type="client"/>

look at these two for 1 minute.. see the difference?

you should use "debugscript 3" in console when testing new scripts

to

txd = engineLoadTXD("data/billbox.txd", 401 )

[XxCozzaxX]

to

txd = engineLoadTXD("data/billbox.txd", 401 )

Lol thanks - stupid mistakes!

EDIT: Still doesn't work, you don't think its because my server is linux do you? Maybe cases might be the problem or / or \ i will fiddle, but if you can see anything else, please don't hesitate to say so!

[XxCozzaxX]

Ok, im failing at this, the model number i want to replace is 3110, and here the txd

I want it to load when it starts up, and stay loaded.

(it works fine on single player)

Please could someone make me the resource?

[dzek (varez)]

txd file for free, to make it complete example
