Solved Can't get Oxide to load

Heyo!

Sorry to be a bother/stupid, but it somehow seems I can not get oxide to load up on serverstart.

I set up a new server, downloaded the latest oxide-rust.zip, unpacked it into my rust rootfolder ("E:\rust\" The contents are findable in "E:\rust\RustDeicated_data\Managed\"), but when I start the server, there is no trace of oxide in the console as it was before.

files in "E:\rust\oxide\serverident\logs\" are exactly a month old, so nothing new from today.

Any ideas/suggestions/advise?

Thanks!

 

Of course. If you have any advise/suggestions for the code in general, feel free to shoot, I'm a beginner when it comes to batching.

Code:

TITLE Serverstartscript:KILL
taskkill /f /im RustDedicated.exe /T
goto STEAM:STEAM
cls
echo installing/updating rust...
@echo off
start /wait "SteamCMD" "E:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +login anonymous +force_install_dir E:\rust\ +app_update 258550 +quit
echo done.
goto OXIDE:OXIDE
echo updating oxide...
@echo offfor /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date/t') do set y=%%k
for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date/t') do set d=%%k%%i%%j
for /F "tokens=5-8 delims=:. " %%i in ('echo.^| time ^| find "current" ') do set t=%%i%%j
set t=%t%_
if "%t:~3,1%"=="_" set t=0%t%
set t=%t:~0,4%
set "theFilename=%d%%t%"
echo %theFilename%start /wait "wget oxide" "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe"  --no-check-certificate https://github.com/OxideMod/Oxide/releases/download/latest/Oxide-Rust.zip --output-document "E:\rust\oxide-updatetemp\Oxide-Rust.zip" +quit
start /wait "7z oxide" "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -spe "E:\rust\oxide-updatetemp\Oxide-Rust.zip" -o"E:\rust\" -aoa +quit:: NOTE: I disabled this for thesting purposes.
:: del "E:\rust\oxide-updatetemp\Oxide-Rust.zip"
:: del "E:\rust\_start-example.bat"
echo done.
goto PLUGINS:PLUGINS
::echo Updating plugins...
:: NOTE: Placeholder
::echo done.
goto SERV:SERV
echo starting servers...
::start "Server01 placeholder" "E:\rust\!script\!script_serverstart_server01.bat"
::timeout /T 10
start /wait "Rust echstended" "E:\rust\!script\!script_serverstart_echstended.bat"
echo done. restarting...
goto KILL

And the "!script_serverstart_echstended.bat" looks like this:

Code:

@echo on
cls
:START

    EXIT

Edit1:
To explain the comments:
I did previously release a script like that on the steam-forums. I will release this one, too, if it is ever finished.

Edit2:
Nevermind the problem, there is an error in the code (or my windows permissions) somewhere around here:

Code:

start /wait "7z oxide" "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -spe "E:\rust\oxide-updatetemp\Oxide-Rust.zip" -o"E:\rust\" -aoa +quit

I will have to look into it. All advise appreciated! <3

Thanks and Sorry for your Time!

Edit3: Owly Hell, why does the NavMesh take this long to generate on a 6k map when oxide is active? :O

 

Best to not go over 4500 for map will help with fps/lag etc etc

 

That's not been an issue so far, afaik.
Had it run on a FX-8150 with 32gb of RAM, and now it's on a VM powered by a Ryzen 7. If it's an issue, I will lower the mapsize, annoy my fistfull of players (My servers are generally rather lowpop, since I don't invest any ressources in PR yet.)

That is why I kill all processes, start steamCMD and patch("reinstall") oxide after steamCMD is done - and THEN start the server. Sadly, I made a mistake somewhere and it seems oxide is not unzipped properly, I will look into that. If oxide does not load up after the update, I will disable steamCMD and report back.

But if that is true and SteamCMD screws oxide, we (humanity) took one step back from rustserver-automatations and I need to figure out a completely new approach.

I will mark this as solved, hopefully I still can reply to it.

 

You have a powerful server it will be ok I just find lower the map size is better but as you have no problems so far it will be ok

 

I wanted a rather peaceful (not no-pvp!) server with loads of terrain to adventure through. I'd like it to be a bit roleplay-y. A place where I can build my megabases and a settlement around it. That's why I have a huge map. I also had a second server running (I am not sure if I want to put it up again - at the moment I am switching servers) with a mapsize of 3600, which was heavily modded with daily airdrop-kits, dayvote and stuff like that for people that prefer action.
