Oxide core plugin/permission command changes

Some of you may have noticed that we changed commands for Oxide's core a bit the other day, though I suspect most of you haven't updated your servers yet so may not have; so hopefully you see this announcement instead of posting a new thread!

When I originally added the non-prefixed (ie. reload, load, grant, etc. without oxide.) commands, I was hoping that there wouldn't be any issues as it's always nice to have shorter commands that are easy to remember and quick to use. However, we've noticed over the past that there have been an increasing amount of game commands that share the same name as Oxide's non-prefixed commands, so we've decided that it'd be best to remove those to avoid conflicts and the hopefully stop the questions of "why doesn't show work in Rust?", "my Reign of Kings group command got replaced!", or "what is this "Failed to load '1' in my log?"

Now, I probably shouldn't have added the non-prefixed commands anyway as prefixes are generally the best way to add commands to a game to avoid conflicts. The change isn't major though, and is a quick replacement if you're using any of the non-prefixed commands.

The original "oxide." prefixed commands are still there, but we've also added additional prefixes o, perm, and plugin depending on the command. The o prefixed commands are a short alternative and the perm and plugin are for the permission and plugin commands respectively.

If you would like to keep using shorter commands or create any number of custom commands or command aliases, you can use a plugin such as CustomChatCommands | Oxide.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. There will be more breakage down the road as development progresses (can't hold on to everything forever), mainly with some older API and library helpers getting removed in favor of newer API and some things renamed. We're also working on moving all plugins over to a GitHub repository for easier maintenance, contribution, and to keep up with them. Any abandoned or unmaintained plugins that haven't already been replaced with universal versions will also be updated as someone is able, it'll just take a bit of a time.

The changes:

• Removed generic commands to avoid conflicts with games (ie. load, reload, grant)
  The non-prefixed commands removed conflicted with some game commands, so additional aliases were added to avoid confusion and make them more unique. The oxide.* prefixed commands still remain (ex. oxide.reload)
• Added o.* prefixed commands as a short variant to oxide.* commands (ex. o.reload, perm.grant, etc.)
• Added plugin.* and perm.* as prefixes to plugin and permission commands (ex. plugin.unload, perm.revoke, etc.)

 

oxide.command grant? oxide.grant is a command, not grant.

 

Did you read the first post of this thread?

 

Commands look fine, but I can't reproduce that issue.

 

The command haven't changed since this announcement, so I can't really say what's wrong. All I can suggest is restarting or updating Oxide again.

 

3520 and 3528 are pretty old builds.

Edit: If you’re on Rust Legacy, try the latest snapshot from our AppVeyor.
