Running the script

To get the server started, simply run the executable under the MTA DM directory.

IDK what that means. It doesint give me basic detail. And I need sum Explanation on that please.

Creating a simple script

Note that in the tag above, the .lua file is not under another directory. Therefore we'll create the file in the folder as meta.xml. Now you can copy and paste the following code into script.lua:

What that means is the MTA Server.exe file that is in the root of your MTADM folder, wherever you installed it to.

It's missing a word. It should read "Therefore we'll create the file in the SAME folder as meta.xml." The file they want you to create will be called "script.lua", copying and pasting the code that followed.

Which means you need to add:

<script src="script.lua"/> 

to your meta.xml

Which means you need to add:

<script src="script.lua"/> 

to your meta.xml

he would have already done that as part of the instructions under "Identifying your resource"..

he's referring to this article: http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ple_script

I have fixed that now it says "same"

Okay. That helps but now When I run the MTA Server.exe I try to type in my Info that I needed type in "gamemode myserver" But when I do that nothing happends. Maybe I have the wrong MTA server.exe opened?

where did u type it, in the window? it should say something, even if your wrong.

note: thats an old server, yours will look different but it will give you an idea.

are your two files in the folder myserver in Your MTA Server/mods/deathmatch/resources/ ?

also u can test it by trying other info. in the server window type either gamemode hay or gamemode assault as-area51 either will work and report back to the mta server window so u will know if its working.
