Maybe this:

Your MTA folder/server/mods/deathmatch/resources/[gameplay]/deathmessages

but this is only for Play mode not Race..

take a look:

local root = getRootElement() 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function (ammo, killer, weapon, bodypart) 
        local r, g, b = getColorFromString(string.upper(get("color"))) 
        local message 
        if killer then 
            if killer ~= source then 
                local killerType = getElementType(killer) 
                if killerType == "player" then 
                    message = getPlayerName(killer).." killed "..getPlayerName(source).."." 
                elseif killerType == "vehicle" then 
                    message = getPlayerName(getVehicleController(killer)).." killed "..getPlayerName(source).."." 
                    if get("show_vehiclename") then 
                        message = message .. " ("..getVehicleName(killer)..")" 
                    end 
                end 
            else 
                message = getPlayerName(source).." committed suicide." 
            end 
        end 
        if not message then 
            message = getPlayerName(source).." died." 
        end 
        if weapon and get("show_weapon") then 
            local weaponName = getWeaponNameFromID(weapon) 
            if weaponName then 
                message = message.." ("..weaponName..")" 
            end 
        end 
        if bodypart and get("show_bodypart") then 
            local bodypartName = getBodyPartName(bodypart) 
            if bodypartName then 
                message = message.." ("..getBodyPartName(bodypart)..")" 
            end 
        end 
        outputChatBox(message, root, r, g, b) 
    end 
)

i saw the file but i can't see the part that display the dead players

[Castillo]

Well, you are obviously blind, because the whole script is about that.

[~DarkRacer~]

  
local posLabel, posLabelShadow = createShadowedLabelFromSpare(posLeftDistance, y, 20, labelHeight, tostring(self.position) .. ')', 'right') 
  
-- and 
  
local playerLabel, playerLabelShadow = createShadowedLabelFromSpare(nameLeftDistance, y, 250, labelHeight, name .. time) 
  

this part add the dead player?

[Castillo]

That'll create the labels, yes.

[~DarkRacer~]

That'll create the labels, yes.

can i use hex color codes for coloring the label?

[Castillo]

Labels don't support it by default, but you could search on the forums for the custom function.

Though, you'll have to adapt it, since the custom function creates many labels to simulate HEX codes.
