Question about Resoruces

[Chia]

hey sorry just a quick question for anyone that knows about servers for Mta

Now i know some java, so i can understand some of it but not great at all

I want to add a speedometer to my server.

- i downloaded a set, and uploaded it all to the directory

- i've made a new directory for it under /mods/deathmatch/resources/speedometer

but its not on server. do i need to call it? or something to get it to work?

Really would appreciate the help cause i've been working on getting everything to work for like 12 days ;p

You need to start it, using the 'start' command in the server, i.e.:

start speedometer

[Chia]

i've tried but it says resource is not found

same if i put it in server.config

[Oz.]

This may be a silly question, but it's bound to be something simple like this...

..you did put it in server/mods/deathmatch/resources/speedometer, right? Not just /mods/deathmatch/resources/speedometer

[Chia]

well im hosting it through ServerFFS so there is no server/mods/ only /mods/deathmatch

I have not touched anything just uploaded ;s

[Oz.]

That's fine, I'd guessed you were running it from your local machine, which does separate your client /mods folder from the /server/mods folder. At least that mistake has been ruled out. It seems to be in the right place, and presumably that is the correct and complete list of relevant files...I'm not really sure what the problem is - perhaps someone else will have a suggestion to make.

"speedometer" is not "Speedometer" (or am being i paranoid? )

[Oz.]

I'll cry if it's case-sensitive...

[Aibo]

well it's not on windows, but there's linux i bet.

anyway, have you tried "refresh" command in console or restarting the server? maybe your resource is not even loaded.

[Chia]

I've restarted it. il try refreshing and il try no caps thanks aibo

[Chia]

well i changed it to no caps. restarted ofc. and still nothing

when i go into admin panel its not in resources their either.. im wondering if u dont put all the files there? or maybe ffs is shit?

[Neukfout]

I don't think you should put all the files in the same folder, I guess you need to make different folders, so the images will be seperated from the scripts?

Just a guess though

[Chia]

just did that made no difference

[eAi]

Should all your files be called - Copy.png? Have you tried just uploading Speedometer.zip to your resources directory? Resources don't need to be unziped.

[Chia]

they dont? ;o il try that then thanks

i fixed the copy's and when its zipped it stays zipped.

[Chia]

Here is a much simpler one that does still not work. http://img52.imageshack.us/i/ffs2.jpg/

- server has been restarted

- when i go f8 and refresh nothing happens

- still doesn't work

- not in mta config problem? (if i dont want it on start up)

- it downloaded something new when i returned after restart

All i've done is that nothing else... am i forgetting something

[Chia]

well flood worked... gonna try aibo's cctv if its good just close topic

[Chia]

i can get resources with no images to work. but if it has images i cannot. do i place them anywhere? i just have them in their invidually

USE THE DAMN "EDIT" BUTTON! you have done 3 post without an answer yet! just be patient.

[Oz.]

You checked the meta to ensure all image files are present and with the correct names, and that the resource folder is structured properly?
