Ped Model IDs

[Original1993]

So I made a server for me and friend to play on, all is going swimmingly, I wouldn't say i have an issue as such, just a couple of problems using the replace lua function

This is present in my meta.xml:

this in my level.lua:

dff = engineLoadDFF ("mecgrl3.dff")

engineReplaceModel( dff ,192)

txd = engineLoadTXD ("mecgrl3.txd")

engineImportTXD( txd , 192)

i have already loaded 2 cars and a weapon into the game which work perfectly, im wondering if its because of the 192 ID, which is Michelle's skin ID, im not sure if its the actual real model ID for this ped, if it isnt, is there a method of finding out? and if the ID is correct, is there any reason why this shouldn't be loading?

thanks in advance

- You didn't specified your level.lua in your meta (don't forget important things when you paste here)

- You probably has a syntax error in your level.lua so the whole file isn't loaded/executed.

- The txd and/or the dff files contains errors (do they work in single player ?)

And check out the client side errors by hitting /debugscript 3 (you have to be logged in as admin).

Client side errors won't be shown on the server console.

1.my level lua is in the meta.xml, like i said ive already loaded 3 models into mta

2.not sure about syntax error; this is my whole meta.xml and level.lua files:

    <file src = "mecgrl3.txd" /> 
     
</meta> 
  

function replace () 
txd = engineLoadTXD ("moonbeam.txd") 
engineImportTXD( txd , 418) 
  
dff = engineLoadDFF ("moonbeam.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel( dff ,418) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ("sultan.txd") 
engineImportTXD( txd , 560) 
  
dff = engineLoadDFF ("sultan.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel( dff ,560) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ("shotgspa.txd") 
engineImportTXD( txd , 351) 
  
dff = engineLoadDFF ("shotgspa.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel( dff ,351) 
  
dff = engineLoadDFF ("mecgrl3.dff") 
engineReplaceModel( dff , 192) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ("mecgrl3.txd") 
engineImportTXD( txd , 192) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getRootElement(), replace) 

3. i never actually thought of this, i shall go find a ped spawner and replace the dff/txd in the gta3.img and see what happens, thanks for the suggestions

dff = engineLoadDFF ("mecgrl3.dff") 

This function takes two arguments (the second one isn't optional at all !) + every other engineLoadDFF you made put 0 as second argument.

Do the same for this skin too and it will work.

(Also, use [ lua][/lua] tags to paste code instead of [ code][/code]. For xml use: [ code=xml][/code])

Putting the 0 in made it load, tyvm for your assistance, cookies for you, my good sir
