    Have v164 oxide installed and also VC redist 2012 64/86 installed.

    Get this error and server locks CPU.
    Code:
    FileNotFoundException: Could not load Oxide root configuration
  at Oxide.Core.OxideMod.Load () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Oxide.Core.Interface.Initialise () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Bootstrap.Initialization () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Bootstrap+<Start>c__Iterator0.MoveNext () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
(Filename:  Line: -1)
    Any fixes?

    You don't have oxide.root.json in your server's root. It's included in the snapshots and repo. You need it, as it's the configuration file for Oxide.

    Doesn't look like OnPlayerSpawn is fired every time a player dies and respawns. Works fine on the connection sequence but if you F1 kill, then respawn does not fire off OnPlayerSpawn.

    I think that's been on ongoing issue. @thomasfn

    I have oxide.root.json in /Release or is it supposed to be somewhere else.

    I have simply extracted the v164 into the release folder.

    Yup! that's where it goes. Did you modify it at all?

    No modification we simply have the zip extracted by tcadmin.

    Hmmm, you aren't running from that directory are you? You are trying to start it from outside of it which I do not believe works unless you change the directory into it first. You may be able to get around this if you edit oxide.root.json to include the full path for ExtensionDirectory.@thomasfn

    I have been "testing" Blue Fang Solutions for my new Rust Oxide Server and I can state at this point, they are the best ISP I have worked with yet! Extremely responsive and able to accommodate anything I have needed so far for development and running of my Oxide Rust Server. After the nightmares I had on legacy rust ISP's this is a big welcome.

    I highly recommend them. You don't have direct access to the start job but they will change your command in a couple of minutes, etc...they are EXTREMELY fast to respond and know what they are doing.

    Wulf, that Github link you just did, is that something that can just be downloaded and copied to the server?

    Yes, those are compiled builds.

    I just dropped this onto my server, and server won't start up when I did it. :-(

    Check your logs then, you're either missing a file or you are missing Visual C++ 2012 x64 as per the instructions in this thread.

    If anyone is interested in a more complicated, yet organized setup...

    My batch script for Windows with moved save and log, and dated Rust log:
    Code:
    @echo off
set IDENTITY="wulf"
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -server.hostname "Oxide Server" -server.port 28015 +server.identity %IDENTITY% +server.maxplayers 100 -logFile "server/%IDENTITY%/logs/rust_%DATE:~-7,2%-%DATE:~-10,2%-%DATE:~-4,4%.txt"
    My shell script for Linux with moved save and log, and dated Rust log:
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
IDENTITY="wulf"
RustDedicated -batchmode -server.hostname "The Wulf Den" -server.port 28015 +server.identity $IDENTITY +server.maxplayers 100 -logFile "server/${IDENTITY}/logs/rust_`date +"%d-%m-%Y"`.txt"
    My Oxide config with changed config path and merging of files:
    Code:
    {
    "ExtensionDirectory":     "RustDedicated_Data\\Managed",    "PluginDirectory":        "plugins",
    "ConfigDirectory":        "cfg",
    "DataDirectory":        "data",
    "LogDirectory":            "logs",    "InstanceCommandLines":
    [
        "{oxide.directory}",
        "server\\{server.identity}",
        "server"
    ]
}

    Is there some Way to reload the plugins without restarting the server?
