1. I have a regular serve hosted off my own computer and network thats been working well for a while.
    I would really like to make it a pre-release server to test out the new features. I have no idea how to do this though.

    We only release builds for the release/public branch of Rust, so if you'd like to use it on any other branch, you'd need to manually patch it yourself using our patcher tool founder under the Snapshots repo. To switch a different Rust branch, just use the -beta tag with SteamCMD and the branch name. You can see the available branches here: Rust Dedicated Server · AppID: 258550.
     
  3. update_script_main:
    Code:
    @ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
    @NoPromptForPassword 1
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir ../rustds
    app_update 258550 validate
    quit
    
    update_script_staging:
    Code:
    @ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
    @NoPromptForPassword 1
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir ../rustds
    app_update 258550 -beta staging validate
    quit
    
    update_script_prerelease:
    Code:
    @ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
    @NoPromptForPassword 1
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir ../rustds
    app_update 258550 -beta prerelease validate
    quit
    
    Save main, staging, or the prerelease code block into update_script.txt and execute Run_DS.bat

  4. How to build prerelease ?
     
  5. So did i get that right?? there is a way to add Oxide to prerelease version of rust server? (when i played yesterday on prerelease servers there wasn't any modded server on list.) When i played there i started to think i may host one by my own, but i think that vanilla is still grindy and i love Livemap, so if there is any way to add oxide to prerelease server i will do that for sure. I understand that you are not supporting those (so much to do with official), but i would love to test that if you think its possible without complete rewrite? i already visited at your snapshot site, but didn't find anything there what points to prerelease

    i am at work, atm, so i cant test that out yet, but i will try to add oxide to that and see what happens :D

    i don't think that i will do hard mod server, just couple ones that helps (like livemap, maybe gather manager, stack size(definitely:D) i am starting to learn that code what mods uses, so there might be possibility that i can tweak plugins if there is problems with those

    I hope that there is not any old posts about same thing (tried to search).

    Thanks

    (ps. already hosting one server, so i think that part will be kind of familiar to me)

    THANKS!! i will try that after update today (maybe little earlier) (will change staging to prerelease)

    The only real changes needed for using Oxide with a pre-release build is updating the hook placements, but sometimes there is more. The reason we do not support them is that they aren't released yet, so every new build could how it all works and require another update. Trying to keep up with development builds would be a full-time job, and then I wouldn't have time for anything else.
     
  7. can i make pre-realase server on Gameservers.com?

    Sure, but you wouldn't be able to use Oxide with it unless you patched it yourself (assuming they allow access to do that).
     
  9. is there a guide for OxidePatcher or anyone that can walk me through as i 2 would like to mod a pre-release server as well i have downloaded patcher but have no idea what im looking for.
    Screenshot
    any help is much appreciated.

    There are some general tutorials floating around, but you'd need to know a bit about how IL patching works to review and get the correct index for changed hooks. The basics are customizing the path in the Rust.opj file from our GitHub repo, then opening that with the patcher, then working through the changed hooks as needed.

  12. Oxide does not support prerelease. You can patch it for prerelease yourself if you really want to.
     
  13. I have installed the server prerelease when updating oxide server does not start,I am from Russia and bad know English use a translator it is a bad translation!

    We do not support the pre-release branch. If you'd like to patch for it, there is some info in the thread I linked, but you're on your own for it.

    If you aren't familiar with the patcher and MSIL, then you may have a hard time. There is general info in this thread and others, but generally we do not support custom builds or other branches because we'd be having to do it for most still as well as constant changes.
     
  19. Ok i'll stick to vanilla
     
  20. I've have been wondering how I go about and where to go to download tools to upgrade oxide to work with Rust Pre-Release servers. I understand that you don't support non-public versions of Rust but I would like to know a bit on how to update Oxide to work with these servers.
