I restarted my server by SendRconCommand("gmx");
But the server restart, then the textdraws appear badly, such as the opening textdraw when player connect will be shown when player enter vehicle. And the size irregular, such as bigger or smaller than the normal size.

But when I restarted the server by SendRconCommand("exit"); then run again the samp server
All goes normal...

So, here's my question:
1. Why does it happen?
2. Is there any way to start the server without that problem? (I mean by a cmd in the server, I can restart the whole server)

Additional Question:
Is there any plugin/include which can open a file from the script command?
EDIT: I mean, to run/execute an executable file.

Sorry if my english is bad...
Thanks for the answers.

may we have a look on how you declare (create) the textdraws, i.e, where the returned ID of each textdraw gets saved? like

Код:

WelcomeTD[0]=CreateTextDraw(blabla)

make a command which pronts out all textdraws' id, and compare them again after a gmx. if the numbers (IDs) are messed up, you need to reconsider your textdraw stuff..

opening files is possible with the native samp functions, but i suggest you to have a look at the FileManager plugin

Sorry, for the additional question, I mean to execute an executable file.

The textdraw ID's are most probably messed up.

Define them like this:

pawn Код:

new Text:gMyText = Text:INVALID_TEXT_DRAW; // for  Global Textdraw 
//and
new PlayerText:gMyPlayerText[MAX_PLAYERS] = {PlayerText:INVALID_TEXT_DRAW, ...}; //  Player Textdraw

This will solve your problem for sure

if you want to run an executable, use the Execute plugin, iam using it to simply untar any of my uploaded files.

You should not use gmx ever. Everyone knows GMX is bugged or causes bugs.

GMX isn't actually that bugged, it's just that people don't know what it actually does.

It actually only calls "OnGameModeExit" in your gamemode, reconnects all players, goes to the next gamemode in server.cfg (if there are multiple), opens the next or same gamemode and calls "OnGameModeInit". Things like destroying textdraws or removing vehicles have to be done by yourself in OnGameModeExit, if you want them to be removed. They will stay in your server otherwise. (Although, the variables where their IDs are saved, are reinitialized!)

Also, Filterscripts aren't touched when GMX-ing.

Well these two question is really interested , but still I couldn't got any suitable answer.

"1. Why does it happen?
2. Is there any way to start the server without that problem? (I mean by a cmd in the server, I can restart the whole server)"

For your first question, you should read Basssiiie's post again. To answer your second question, there's no built-in restart cmd in sa-mp server.exe. You can shut down your server via /rcon exit and manually restart it again via nohup ./samp03svr & via SSH, or get a basic sa-mp control panel which gives the options to restart/stop/start via single click.
