How to change the watercolor of a, from mta:race to mta 1.0 converted map ? add a client.lua with setWaterColor( 0, 0 , 0, 0 ) ?

include client.lua clientside script and do

red,green,blue,alpha=0,0,0,0
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(),function()
setWaterColor(red,green,blue,alpha)
end)

To make it Clientside just change in the Meta.xml ?

[karlis]

yes , insert type="client"

I have problems with starting the map in the server, this is what i have :

The zip file

Meta.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
type="client"
<meta>
<info type="map" gamemodes="race" name="Promo" author="-" description="Have Fun" />
<map src="Promo.map" />
<settings>
<setting name="#time" value="0:0" />
<setting name="#respawn" value="timelimit" />
settings>
meta>

Client.lua

red,green,blue,alpha=0,0,0,0
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(),function()
setWaterColor(red,green,blue,alpha)
end)

and the .map file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<map mod="deathmatch">
 
A Few spawnpoints and opjects
 
map>

(does needs to be ?)

that's simply not how the meta file works

just like with the map file you need to point at what you want to include. just calling a file "client.lua" doesn't make it a client side loaded file. you need to tell mta that there is a file it should load and you also need to tell that it's a client side file

like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<meta>
 <info type="map" gamemodes="race" name="Promo" author="-" description="Have Fun" />
 <script src="client.lua" type="client" />
 <map src="Promo.map" />
 <settings>
   <setting name="#time" value="0:0" />
   <setting name="#respawn" value="timelimit" />
 </settings>
</meta>

the rest is fine, the map doesn't need to tell that it's a race map. that's what the meta file does. yes it's a bit confusing, basically it's just a left over thing that was needed back when there was no meta.xml.
