When I restart a resource that has this as its __resource.lua
local vcf_files={
'SERIFF'
}
local function vcf_loader()
for i = 1, #vcf_files do
local car = vcf_files[i]
files('stream/' .. car .. '/ELS/' .. car .. '.xml')
ELSFMVCF('stream/' .. car .. '/ELS/' .. car .. '.xml')
end
end
vcf_loader()
My mod is listening for onClientResourceStart fails to get the files.
When that event fires it then goes and fetches the files from ELSFMVCF.
The line of code that seems to be failing is
var data = Function.Call<string>(Hash.LOAD_RESOURCE_FILE, name, filename);
here is more for refrence
num = Function.Call<int>(Hash.GET_NUM_RESOURCE_METADATA, name, "ELSFMVCF");
#if DEBUG
Debug.WriteLine("number of VCF files to load: " + num.ToString() + " " + name);
#endif
for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
var filename = Function.Call<string>(Hash.GET_RESOURCE_METADATA, name, "ELSFMVCF", i);
#if DEBUG
Debug.WriteLine($"Name: {name}, Loading: {filename}");
#endif
var data = Function.Call<string>(Hash.LOAD_RESOURCE_FILE, name, filename);
VCF.load(SettingsType.Type.VCF, filename, data);
}
This properly works when The resource starts fine when the client first joins but if the mod that has the VCF files is restarted it causes issues.
