How to run server on resources?

[ExiloGaming]

Hey. I am learning how to get a MTA server to work. I downloaded resources for my server. ONLY resources, No info to install it.

Can any teach me where to put the resources? I dont want to run DM with the resources, but I want it to run on the resources. If you understand me

-Thanks!

When you first install MTA, there should be a checkbox for server development, if you checked it, the console/server should be located in your (MTA San Andreas 1.x\server) folder.

The program should be called MTA Server

[ExiloGaming]

Yeah. But I dont know where to put the files. I got resources, only. From http://www.shodowngaming.com. He gave us the script so, You know how to install it?

[Jaysds1]

ya, put them in the (MTA San Andreas 1.3\server\mods\deathmatch\resources) Folder, and if there's no resources folder, then create one (with no capitals,spaces, and don't forget the s at the end).

This is not right?

I had to delete these files cause the server did not like that I had them+ the sho resources.

I can connect to the server, but it giving me a black screen with Connectet MTA:SA Server 1.3 Windows.

You know how to fix this?

ya, go to your mtaserver.conf located before the resources folder and go to the bottom and remove these:

<resource src="admin" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="defaultstats" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="helpmanager" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="joinquit" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="mapcycler" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="mapmanager" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="parachute" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="resourcebrowser" startup="1" protected="0" default="true" /> 
    <resource src="resourcemanager" startup="1" protected="1" /> 
    <resource src="scoreboard" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="spawnmanager" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="votemanager" startup="1" protected="0" /> 
    <resource src="webadmin" startup="1" protected="0" />

Do I have to replace the names with the new resources names?

Edit:

This is not right, How to get the server to run on showdowns resources? Yes, Its placed in the map. I deleted the lines you wanted me to delete.

[Jaysds1]

ok, now to start the resources you got from the site...

If there all in one folder, then just replace the line that says play with the name of the folder,

other than that, you have to add a line like this:

<resource src="RESOURCE NAME" startup="1" protected="0" /> 

[ExiloGaming]

Added ALL resources to one map called play inside resources.

This is how it looks:

Config file:

And the startup...

Still not working to me O_o

[Jaysds1]

Srry, I meant to add them to the mtaserver.conf file at the bottom...

[ExiloGaming]

Its on the bottom...

[Jaysds1]

ok, you got resources from another site and you want to put it on your server so you could use them... rite???

So, put the resources in the "resources" folder located (MTA San Andreas 1.3\server\mods\deathmatch).

After, if you want the resources to start when you start the server, add

<resource src="RESOURCE/FOLDER NAME HERE" startup="1" protected="0" /> 

in the mtaserver.conf, after the server start you could go in and check if everything is ok.

[ExiloGaming]

Still get this erro:

I made a folder in the resources folder with name play . Added the resources in the folder. and editing the config file and starting it, but get the erro. If you want, You can go on Teamviewer on me and check if anything is wrong if you have time. Cause I cant get it to work, and I am following the things you say I have to. If you got time, then we can do it. -Exilo

[Jaysds1]

oh...

ok, if you want to add the resource but want to put them in a folder, well, your gonna have to take everything out of the resource folder and put it in the play folder...

then create or edit a file called meta.xml and add the files using this format:

Script:

<script src="SCRIPT NAME HERE.lua" /> 

Map:

<file src="FILE NAME HERE.txd" /> 

More info here:Meta.xml
