BetterChat

Have you used oxide parenting?

 

Alphawar do you have any idea why it is reverting my file back to default after saving and reloading?

Thanks.

 

As someone setting up his server for the first time and this being the first plugin installing on the server, the instructions are not very beginner friendly.

For the note: "The standard groups are automatically set up."
I'm not quite sure how I'm suppose to tell what the "standard group names" are. In example: They could vary from the Admin group being named "Admin" or "Administrator".

First step: "Create a group in the config as shown in the preset groups", the only thing that the download comes with is a "BetterChat.cs". If I'm correct, I should be looking for a .cfg file. If it automatically generates a .cfg file somewhere, I would not know where to look for that, as said before, I'm new to making a server on Rust. So I would need to know the folder it usually generates in.

So could anyone help me with this stuff? Do I even need to edit any .cfg to even add groups or can I manage groups from the console?

 

The groups are the ones you see in the config all you need to do is add the correct permission to the correct group so for player group use the command
oxide.grant group player color_player
admin group
oxide.grant group admin color_owner
vip group
oxide.grant group vip color_vip
moderator group
oxide.grant group moderator color_mod
etc etc

 

What config file? I don't know where the config file is at.

So if I was wanting to add a group, I'd enter "oxide.group add Owner"? Then how would I set that group as a admin group or add people to it?

 

in the config folder. Who you hosting with?
If you have skype I can talk you over a few things if you need help

 

Sure, that'd be wonderful. Skype name is my Forum Name. Oh, also I'm hosting with Nfoservers.

 

There are two people on skype with the same name you have here so hard to know what one to add

 

Red Mountains.

 

sorry that makes no sense

 

Any help for me? Still can't update the colours etc when I save the config file and reload...

 

You need to upload it first make the changes then load the file

 

My picture is Red Mountains, with a white background.

 

Both had the same picture

 

When I save the config, I then reload in game and it reverts back to it's default colours.

 

unload make changes reload file it should work

 

Yeah it should but it just reverts back to it's default state... So none of the changes I make are saved basically.

 

post here the commands you use to unload and reload the file

 

So I've changed the colours in the "BetterChat.json" for the different groups.
I press save in the control panel.
I now go in to the console and type "oxide.reload BetterChat"

Check the "BetterChat.json" in the control panel to find the file has now gone back to just before I edited it.

:/

 

Follow these steps download the config via an FTP program to your desktop edit the file with notepad++ with rustadmin or rusty with whatever program you use type unload BetterChat upload the edited config using the FTP then type reload BetterChat if this does not work do it again but the last part do oxide. reload BetterChat save the config you just edited and download the one from your ftp to check if it worked
