1. i edited the race nametag's to draw color text (hex color codes in the name ) now my problem is if i put it in the race/nametags.lua then its not working bk in the race gamemode for getPlayerName it's return the name whitout hex code's

if i delet the race/nametags.lua and i run my nametags in a resource then its work's but it draw that old nametag's like in "play" gamemode now my question how can i get "getPlayerName" whit hex code's in race gamemode or how can i disable that old nametag's to be showed only the my nametag's thx

2. i am searching for the text on the map end "Vote for next map starts in .. " now i searched and i found that (i think) it's inside of "RaceMode.endMap()" but i don;t find where is the "endMap()" function if somebody know ? i wanna edit the text color and font thx

For first question, show nametags.lua.

To get player name and show with colors use my edited dxDrawColorText:

function dxDrawColorText(str, ax, ay, bx, by, color, scale, font, left, top, clip, wordbreak, postGUI) 
    local pat = "(.-)#(%x%x%x%x%x%x)" 
    local s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, 1) 
    local last = 1 
    while s do 
        if cap == "" and col then color = tocolor( tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 1, 2 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 3, 4 ) ), 
        tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 5, 6 ) ), 255 ) end 
        if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then 
            local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap, scale, font) 
            dxDrawText( cap, ax, ay, ax + w, by, color, scale, font ) 
            ax = ax + w 
            color = tocolor( tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 1, 2 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 3, 4 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 5, 6 ) ), 255 ) 
        end 
        last = e + 1 
        s, e, cap, col = str:find( pat, last ) 
    end 
    if last <= #str then 
        cap = str:sub( last ) 
        local w = dxGetTextWidth( cap, scale, font ) 
        dxDrawText( cap, ax, ay, ax + w, by, color, scale, font, left, top, clip, wordbreak, postGUI ) 
    end 
end 

For second question, search in modes/destructionderby.lua. If you don't find anything in Destruction derby see the other modes.

and if i ask getPlayerName(player) it return whitout color code's for race don't show in the rankboard and list the color codes

if i ask getPlayerName(player,"hex") then it return whit the hex code

[Kenix]

_getPlayerName = getPlayerName 
function getPlayerName( el )  
    if isElement( el ) then 
        local name = _getPlayerName( el ) 
        if name then 
            return name:gsub ( '#%x%x%x%x%x%x', '' ) or name 
        end 
        return false 
    end 
    return false 
end 

?

[bandi94]

  
function removeColorCoding ( name ) 
    return type(name)=='string' and string.gsub ( name, '#%x%x%x%x%x%x', '' ) or name 
end 
  
_getPlayerName = getPlayerName 
function getPlayerName ( player,hex ) 
if hex then 
return  _getPlayerName ( player )  
else 
    return removeColorCoding ( _getPlayerName ( player ) ) 
end 
end 

[Kenix]

_getPlayerName = getPlayerName 
function getPlayerName ( plr,removeHex ) 
    if isElement( plr ) then 
        if removeHex then 
            local name = _getPlayerName( plr ) 
            return name:gsub ( '#%x%x%x%x%x%x', '' ) or name 
        end  
        return _getPlayerName( plr ) 
    end 
    return false     
end 

What you mean i not understand ...

Remove hex only?

  
string getPlayerName ( player plr,[ bool removeHex ] )
