The custom commands part in the config is to create your own command which will display some text of your liking and needs a slightly different format which is explained briefly in the overview of the plugin.

 

So I am using a Gameservers.com server for ROK and I finally got the JSON file to appear in the config folder... I altered it outside of the FTP and uploaded the file back into the FTP. Even after closing and reloading FTP several times the file shows my changes when I open it... However, when I enter ROK and do a /rules check the default rules show up... My changes are not shown. I am out of ideas.

 

Also do not forget to check the validity of the configuration file by copying the text into jsonlint.com or similar website. Even something as simple as a missing comma will force it to load the default file.

 

I figured it out. Was syntax error. Thank you for quick reply!

 

For some reason the Announcer Mod will not update the information on my server for me I have changed the Announcer.json information via ftp and after restarting the server no change I am using Gameservers by the way.

Its there any way to remove these default settings as it seems like its overriding what I write and not responding to the change I edited the file via Notepad++

Its just advertising OXIDE at the moment and announcing the default messages!

 

Your a legend thanks for that

 

i can not find the folder ../server/saves/oxide

 

we have root server..pls can you make a toturial Video on youtube how i can instal oxide and mods?

 

I am running on gameservers and i am assuming you edit the announcer.cs file .. then upload to ftp and then in game run /oxide.reload announcer... im doing that and its not changing .. new to this game and mods so i apologize if its a stupid question.. just stumped

 

Thanks for the quick reply, where should that be located .. the gameserver people installed the oxide main part .. and i just uploaded a bunch of ***.CS files for various plugins i was wanting to use. havent seen a config folder or anything json

 

i found a announcer.json in the saves folder .. that the right one?
[DOUBLEPOST=1436900460][/DOUBLEPOST]where should you upload the .cs files?

 

i dont have a folder called Oxide ... i got a ROK_Data thats under rok folder
