First time setting up rust and using oxide, need some pointers :(

Hey everyone,

I have at least some experience running arma2 and arma3 servers, but never rust! I'm using oxide and installed a ton of plugins but I have no idea how any of this works?!?! I wanted to setup things like friends list, tele to player, set home spawn, etc, you know, all the fun stuff...

I can connect to the server, all is good, but I just have no idea how to configure anything.. Never used json before, but am familiar with a little c++.

If anyone can lend a hand to the newb, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks again!

To use oxide you need only to install it and install the plugins. Every plugin that you download has a description that explains how to use it. That is all.

Now, if you run into some unsolvable problems during the setup that's a different story, open new thread and describe the problem precisely, and someone will help you for sure.

 

Thanks, I'll try that.. The plugins however I am unsure how to install, I just put them in the plugins folder in the oxide directory to my server files. I assume that is all I need to do?

 

Yes. That is all you need to do... Plugins go into the ".\server\<server Identification>\oxide\plugins\" folder.

 

Do I configure the plugins via that folder or the config folder?

 

Config folder is where you edit the plugins configurations that are editable by the plugin creator.

 

Gotcha, thanks for the help! Also, do you know where I can find a plugin for adding friends, etc?
