1. I have tried a ton of different things. All videos with previous version oxide videos do not seem to be the same. Anyone know of common mistakes or a video to show the correct method?

    If you are renting a server that provides a control panel option, it's usually just shutdown your server and click the install button for Oxide. If you self-host on a dedicated server, there are tutorials in this section that provide the exact steps you need to get it running. For both FTP and local servers, the actual Oxide part is just download, extract, and overwrite.
     
  3. Self hosting one and using Survival Server for renting another until I get one running the way I would like. I can't seem to get oxide up and running on either. I'll look around for a video I haven't seen.

    Pretty sure Survival has an option on their control panel, which you'd simply shutdown your server and install using that, otherwise just download from our site here and upload the contents of it via FTP if they allow that.

    For self-hosting on Windows, this tutorial has every step: Setting up a Rust server with Windows | Oxide
     
  5. I did exactly what that says. I extracted oxide for rust where it tells you too and then started the server via bat file and it loads with no mention of oxide. Any idea?

    Are you updating your server in your startup script? That will uninstall Oxide.
     
  7. I've tried both ways with and without the update

    Could you upload your start script here please? Also, where are you checking for Oxide?
     
  9. :START
    D:\RustServer\Server\steam\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:\RustServer\ +app_update 258550 validate +quit
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +server.hostname "Rhomer Hosting" +server.netlog 1 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.password "Changed" +server.seed 6738 +server.maxplayers 200 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.identity my.time /t >> shut.log
    pause
    GOTO:START

    When the server is starting all videos and screenshots show oxide listed and I don't see it. (I am newer to hosting if you can't tell)

    The SteamCMD part at the top is uninstalling Oxide. Keep in mind that Oxide is a mod, so any updates will remove it.
     
  11. Mind telling me exactly what I need to remove?

    The entire first line that has steamcmd.exe would need to be removed or moved to a separate file to only be ran when updates are needed.
     
  13. That didn't work....

    Did you re-install Oxide after that while the server was shutdown? What does your .bat script look like now?
     
  15. This is all that loads

    Try using the _start-example.bat that comes with Oxide and let me know if it works.
     
  18. Using that .bat I can log on via connect in f1 but not through the server listed in modded or community. The oxide did load in the server but I couldn't get the plugins I had copied in to work. Getting closer it seems.

    Where did you copy/move the plugins to? They should be under server/my_server_identity/oxide/plugins. Connecting to your server all depends on how you have it setup, but that isn't determined by Oxide.
     
  20. You need to open the ports in your router if you want others to play on the server if not only you will be able to get in via connect 127.0.0.1
