Solved Making a pre-release server?

Oh, that's beautiful. Let me ask, OnXpSet when will be called? Like on first join or something like that?

 

Hi. Know someone, why not working "-beta prerelease" on start.bat anymore?

 

Ok, but Rust on Steam can download Prerelease verison, but not working if I put command for prerelease on server start.bat.
On Steam if download Prerelease I have protocol 1467, in staging 1468 and on server with command -beta staging have 1368.

 

I think prerelease literally just updated a minute ago, so they're still pushing updates until tomorrows official one. The modded server I was testing on 10 mins ago is out of date heh.

 

Finly Thank you

 

SO... at the moment I am running a modded server using 'Oxide 2' and 'Rust:IO' on Gameservers.com.

Can somebody just clarify a couple of things, as I don't seem to be able to find a definitive answer or post about what happens with this update and who will be affected.

Will I be prompted that there is a 'Server Update' as I did with the last one?


Will Oxide still be listed for install after the update?
And will this be the same for Rust:IO?
Also, after the wipe will the 'procedural' map be generated again as if it were a fresh start server?
Any ideas whether I will get any choice in this ie. the size of the Map etc..

Sorry for all the questions but I've not done a major update/wipe before so have no idea what it entails.

Thanks.

 

There is no prompt about the updates, just only as you said. the Date will change on the Server update tab like in your picture.

The Oxide2, Server Update, and Rust:IO buttons will stay. Even after hitting install for each.

What I do with the Gameserver server, is

1. Stop server on my main info page. wait for confirmation. Then run Server Update.
The console will then not allow you to access anything until is done. (hit refresh, this one takes a while sometimes)

2. Once completed, Stop server again. Then run the Oxide Update. same as before, wait till you can access page.(hit refresh, usually within a minute)

3. then stop server again. and a run Rust:IO. and wait for it to be able to access page. .(hit refresh, usually within a minute)

You can now either stop server again. Until you a ready to start it. Or let it restart itself. It always restarts after you install any update.

You can always repeat the process at any time, the buttons are always there. On occasion, I have had to update oxide and rust:io a time or two after a server update to get it to "like" them. lol

And its possible to have more Server updates after the main one. It happens a lot with bigger updates. They could release fixes for Rust server in hours or next day. just whenever. Then you would need to install all three again each time. Just keep looking at the date.

Rust client does not always show it needs a update even when the server might. and visa versa.

And, as for will the map generate. Yes.. it can. If the update changes the map or if its one of the monthly "wipe" updates. then it will over write you map with a fresh one.

 

Do you have an updated oxide patch I could borrow?

 

You mean like a pre release version?

I just use Mughisi's download on page two of this thread. It was working up till yesterday for me, might not be today. seems another update to pre release.

edit: No. his version does NOT work with latest pre release.. Darn it.. now I gotta learn how to do it

 

Want the latest version of the URL

 

Really appreciate the replies and the reassurance it's not any different from the last update. I've only had the server up a month.

Any idea when I should see this release become available for install?

Thanks again.

 

Just wait 16 hours and we will have mass chaos. No need to custom patched versions anymore. Luckily we are almost done with our plugin to grant XP so that should help out the modded servers

 

Thanks.

 

Yep, just waiting for Wulf, we have 1 small error, you should be able to set XP for players that join for the first time, along with the ability to remove/add/set xp for players.
