function getResourceMaps(resource) 
    local scripts = {} 
    local resourceName = tostring(resource) 
    local theMeta = xmlLoadFile(":"..resourceName.."/meta.xml") 
    for i, node in ipairs (xmlNodeGetChildren(theMeta)) do 
        if (xmlNodeGetName(node) == "map") then 
            local script = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "src") 
            if (script) then 
                table.insert(scripts, script) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    return scripts 
end 
  

xmlNodeGetChildren and ipairs got boolean all time. The resourceName is "play".

Greetings Anubhav,

I don't understand exactly what you mean, but I'll give it a try.

If you don't want the ''play'' gamemode, just delete the resource ''play'', the only thing it does is spawn randomly cars everywhere on the map. (When you delete it the gamemode will turn into ''MTA:SA'')

To get another gamemode name? You need to do that with a meta.xml file.

Example,

    "Marty" type="gamemode" name="" /> 

In case you know this already, I'm sorry I didn't understand your question.

In that case, please re-phrase your question and I will try to help you.

Marty

Still same error.

I meant that when I use that function it gives error. The ipair and node thingy gets boolean.

You should add a check above your loop, because theMeta can be false. If it's false, it won't do anything. Make a small check like this;

if ( not theMeta ) then return end 

It should skip any files which failed to load.

I fixed it myself thanks for help.
