xmlLoadFile doesn't work in Client Side

Why function xmlLoadFile doesn't work in Client Side ????

[Charlie_Jefferson]

Because it's a server-side only function. The client doesn't have access to it. If it would, it could copy the file, as client-side scripts are downloaded when you join a server.

o_O...

If it's only server-side the wiki must be fixed...

Client

xmlnode xmlLoadFile ( string filePath )

Required Arguments

filePath: The filepath of the file in the following format: ":resourceName/path". 'resourceName' is the name of the resource the file is in, and 'path' is the path from the root directory of the resource to the file.

For example, if there is a file named 'settings.xml' in the resource 'ctf', it can be accessed from another resource this way: xmlLoadFile(":ctf/settings.xml").

If the file is in the current resource, only the file path is necessary, e.g. xmlLoadFile("settings.xml").

Server-side only... If it would be client-side, then people already have your xml files...

Edit: It might be client-side too. Don't use it unless you want people to get your .xml files.

omg man on a client side script the client download the xml file from server and then every client can edit that file ...

you should make it a private file then,

when creating a file, put @ in front of it

and when you open a private file, put @ in front of it.

i got this from here: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Filepath

xml, file functions client side will look in the resource client side, the one you downloaded.

MTA San Andreas 1.1.1\mods\deathmatch\resources

xmlLoadFile ( ":resource/config.xml" )

Will look for config.xml in:

MTA San Andreas 1.1.1\mods\deathmatch\resources\resource\config.xml

The reason it didn't work in the first place, because the config.xml wasn't client side, when you specified it in the meta.xml, the client downloads it.
