c# MTA:SA Resource Generator

[darkcruzer]

Hey, guys i'm working on a tool in C# which is called MTA:SA Resource Generator in short MTASARG.

Functions:

Drag and Drop (example: id.txd, id.dff) from Skins, Cars and Weapons onto my tool and script.lua and meta.xml would be generated and packed automatically into a zip-file.

Everything works just fine but it seems MTA has some Problems with the generated meta.xml file.

ERROR: Couldn't parse meta file for resource 'your_resource'

Loading of resource 'your_resource' failed

Generated meta.xml looks like this:

  
<meta> 
    <info author="MTASARG" name="Skins, Cars, Weapons" /> 
    <file src="1.dff" type="client" /> 
    <file src="1.txd" type="client" /> 
</meta> 

So, but when i open meta.xml and save it with notepad, mta hasnt problems with it.

I think its a problem of encoding...

Anyone know how i can fix it?

Are you using UTF-8?

Yes, i'm using UTF8...

Here is my function for meta.xml generation.

UTF-8 should work fine. This is what I use for MTA:SE. Try ASCII and make sure the files are copied over to the resource. If it fails, you can try to use writer.WriteStartDocument(); as the first writing function.

I've found out that it dosnt extract the zip file correctly... when i open the folder resource-cache/unzipped i can find the folder of your_resource but it's empty.

So it must be my zipping function which makes the zip file corrupt...

Try using NETZIP Library. It works greatly.

He uses DotNetZip lib. Everything works fine as far as I know. I helped him via PM and maybe I didn't understand his problem.
