Ok so here i will tell you how to set up a local server with some basic settings and you as admin.
Installation:
You should have installed the server with race gamemode resource already, if not, download the mta-installer from www.mtasa.com (http://www.mtasa.com) again and just install it "over" the old installation.
The default directory for the server is MTA-Installation-Directoryserver
Settings:
When installation is done, go to the MTA Installation directory ...MTA-Dir / server / mods / deathmatch and open the mtaserver.conf with any texteditor like Notepad.
Thats the file for basic settings of your MTA-Server. Settings are saved like this <settingNAME>settingVALUE</settingNAME>
The texts clasped by <!-- --> are comments describing the settings a bit. Pay attention, some settings should not be touched if you don't know what you do!
Things you can change here are:
servername - Put any name of your choice for your server there. This is what will be displayed in server browser e.g.
maxplayers - The maximum amount of players that can play on your server at once. The default setting of 32 is probably a bit much for local server but you can just leave it as it doesn't matter.
ase - 1 in here means that your server will be shown in public server list. If you set it to 0 it isn't shown but people who know your pc's IP can still connect to the server.
password - Here you can set a password players need to enter to be able to connect to your server.
All other settings shouldn't be touched, especially the serverip and http-settings
Making you admin:
Now the time has come to start you mta server. Start MTA-DirserverMTA Server.exe
You'll probably have to wait some seconds until it is started and ready, saying "Server started and is ready to accept connections!"
Then you'll have to add a new account into which you can login later ingame.
Write in the black server window "addaccount <accountname> <password>" and press ENTER
Then stop the server using the commands quit or exit or just close it with the x in upper right corner^^
Open the file MTA-Dir / server / mods / deathmatch / acl.xml with some text-editor (not internet explorer!^^)
Search for the line
<group name="Admin">
and add the following line between this and the next "</group>"
<object name="user.<YOUR ACCOUNT NAME>" />
so for me this would be <object name="user.Mdbelen" />
Save the file and close it. Now you can start the server again, go ingame and log into your new account with admin rights.

how do i start the server then (last sentence)
go to mta Directory/server and run ''Mtaserver.exe'' then run mta and open server browser and chose the lan and you will see a server named:''Default Mta Server''(of course if u didn't edit the name of your server in the mtaserver.conf)

and, how can i disable /votekick and /votemap etc?
I think u can disable it ingame to be precise in Admin panel/Resources and there u need to find what resource u want to delete stop etc...I don't have big expirience about servers,but i guess that u can do that on such way
-
Starac's right. I think its in settings of votemanager resource. Just doubleclick it in resources tab.
Help can be edited in some xml-file in any resource, mostly called help.xml (the name is specified in meta.xml). For your purpose you probably want to create a new resource. For knowing how the meta.xml has to look like just look for any other help-containing resource as an example or mta wiki.
