Bad argument

[Beluga]

addEvent("registerPlayer",true) 
addEventHandler("registerPlayer",getRootElement(), 
function(username,password) 
    local xmlFile = xmlLoadFile("players.xml") 
    local playerNode = xmlFindChild(xmlFile,"players",0) 
    if (playerNode) then 
        xmlCreateChild(playerNode,tostring(username)) 
    else 
        xmlCreateChild(xmlFile,"players") 
    end 
end) 

This code gives two WARNING: Bad argument errors:

Bad argument @ 'xmlNodeFindChild' - line: 5

Bad argument @ 'xmlCreateChild' - line: 9

Someone can help me with this?

make it a folder else you won't be able to edit the data from players.xml.

[dzek (varez)]

wut Solid?

why?

[Castillo]

if i'm right you can't edit data if the resource is in a zip file, at least never worked like that for me.

[dzek (varez)]

oh, you are right.

thought you are telling to make a folder inside resource and put there that xml file..

[Castillo]

lol, that doesn't make any difference.

[dzek (varez)]

So I just have to put all my scripts in a folder and then it is working?

[Beluga]

Sorry for double post but I put all the files in a folder and not in .zip file but I still get the badArgument thingy!

[Beluga]

Meta file:

    <info author="Cornelis" type="script"/> 
     
    <file src="players.xml"/> 
    <script src="gui_s.lua" type="server"/> 
    <script src="gui.lua" type="client"/> 
</meta> 

Players xml

<players> 
</players> 

//EDIT: It don't show any errors anymore but It don't make a subnode in players.xml

[dzek (varez)]

afair - XML for server side should be loaded in other way than

yup, i am right:

[DiSaMe]

Server-side XML doesn't need to be put into meta.xml.
