2 Questions.. [Vehicle respawning & File Hosting]

1. Vehicle Respawning

So, currently I'm experiencing an issue with vehicle respawn on my server, I'm running a .map file with all the vehicles in it, along with a modified freeroam resource and play resource... when these vehicles explode they don't return back to their original state on their original position... I personally think its an issue regarding to running 'play' on the server start up, but I only do so that my friends can play on the server while they download the required resources, instead of being stuck with a black screen and a download bar while they wait for the download to come to an end, so I wonder... is there any simple work around this?

Keep in mind I'm not a scripted, my LUA knowledge is VERY short, I'm only running a small passworded server for my friends

2. Resource Files Hosting

Is it possible to host the server resource files on a file hosting service instead of my own computer? If so, what file hosting services do you recommend?

Thank you in advance.

1. I think the resources do respawn but not as fast as you think. Maybe 30secs or more I'm not sure.

2. ummm, you would need a web hosting server, like 000WebHost.com

Not the resources, the vehicles lol, the first time i ran the server,I had like 9 people on and it escalated to the point where the airports had no aircraft, of course there's always the Freeroam GUI but some of my friends prefer not to use it as it kind of kills the fun, not to mention players who are downloading the resources can't acess the GUI, so this really bugs me out.

Regarding the hosting suggestion you directed me to, thanks, I might give it a go.

- Another question regarding the resource upload... Are there any rules I need to follow to make it work or is it as simple as creating a folder/RAR of the server resources and uploading it?

ok,

I finished looking at the freeroam resource settings, and the vehicles are suppose to respawn after 300sec.

May I ask you where on the script did you saw that? (file name)

And I still would like to have a few guidelines on how to set up the resources on a host. I don't know any tuturials and the MTA wiki isn't clear enough for me.

[Jaysds1]

ok,

The resource has settings located in the meta.xml

Filepath: server/mods/deathmatch/resources/[gameplay]/freeroam

then there's the meta.xml

oh, and for the web resources thing, it's easy, it's the same as what you do local, but the only thing you would need to do, is keep the resources on your local server, even if they're on the site.
