Solved Need help updating server

Hai, I know this is a Noobie Question.. and I Have Been Updating servers For a while now...

Reason for this is maybe i was doing it wrong... as you can Tell. This is just a normal Update for servers (not a wipe) and my server has Stability.False in Some place of the writing.

I was wondering how can i update server without Having to Delete the Stability. Lately I been having This Issue Where Stability after Update Get's Erased and my Structures In-game get's Destroyed.. so I was Wondering Is there a way to avoid that.

Thank you.

 

mmm... Sorta not understand, Could you make it more simple for me please?



I have nothing in ServerAuto. but I do have Server.stability False inside Gameserver



So when I Stop the server and then Press Update.



The Config inside the Gameserver Normally Stays there but it messes up sometimes making the structures inside the RUST Game Server Collapse


(So you said add Setting (Stability.False) To Server.cfg I Forgot where that is located in.)

 

You need to stop server first before updating and before you install each mod you need to stop server again as it will auto restart and remove -load from the config

-thinks- .... all this is ridiculously new to me... For example. I will need to do this steps As soon as possible. there is an update I heard... so first thin i need to do... I understand Stop server and then update... once it Updates... the plugins inside the plugin folder will still remain there... What should i do next?

Could you list step by step please? I'm afraid to mess this up and the whole Structure that took me and my crew to build for over 10 hours...

 

Ok, step by step
Stop the server
Install server update
Stop server again as it will auto restart
Install oxide
Stop server again
Install rust10
Restart server

 

ok fine, i just did those steps. So those Steps Will Gerenty me to Still have Stability To False. And Structures Not to fall In Any sort of way

 

Noob Question also, why instal RustIO again, I know that sometimes during global wipe by @GarryNewman I need to instal it again cause it gets deleted, but when minor magic updating is happening i have it still there and it works, sadly it takes like 800ms to load or what the console says

 

Because on gameservers I find it gets removed after a update so best to reinstall again

If you have it set to false in your bat file/server config it will stay false

 

Thank you soo much. I will never forget this steps. This Steps Helped Me To Save over 10 hours of Game Building Work. Hope if anyone ells have Problem with this, they can Check the Comments here.

UPDATE: I Just want to say to All, Doing those Steps. Just saved me over 3 Hours or Configuring And Messing with files.... After those Steps in less then 10-15mins. Server went running Smoothly Like if there has never been an update.

Thank you.

 

Thank you, I will try this. Do I have to make sure the new patch of oxide is out to match the new server update? I notice there is a new server update today but not a new patch, so I will wait for the new patch. Finally, will updating the server, oxide, and rustIO make me lose all buildings, prints, etc.. I mean will it be like doing a full wipe? Because I won't do it now if that is the case.

 

no no, this steps does not do Full Wipe. It just prevents Removing Stability.false from the Config In the Folder.... Which Normally it Would Destroy All or Half The Building Parts Do to Not Having Structure Support On My Sky Tower Buildings.... this has Nothing to do with Wipe. I Believe Resistance Would love to make New Set of Steps For Server Wipe Later Down the Course....

Good Question you Asked... How do you Work with New oxide Patch + Server Update.....

I'm Not Gonna Say Any Further Then That Due To My Limitation... But I'm Not 100% Sure If there Is (Off The Topic) New Set Of Step Rules To The Following Server Wipe...

Steps Above Will Update And Continue Your Plugins/ Mods Working Like Normal... So Instead Of Having Mods Failure Or Half Of Them Loaded... This Steps Will Prevent All That And Save You A Ton Of Time..

Thank You, Resistance

 

Okay thanks for your reply. I had problems with the mod because I didn't install it right, but now that I read this thread I understand but don't want to lose any progress any players have made in my server, so if that is the case, where I won't lose anything anyone has done, I will wait for the new patch to come out and go forward with the update.

I see on my gameservers.com option I can reinstall server with a check box for a full wipe. So I assume I can do standard wipe with reinstall server, or a full wipe with the box checked, at least my thoughts on that.

 

Hehe, umm.. yes Your Right... Without a Check it's Normal Reinstall... What That Does... If you have Problems In your Server or Server Doesn't Seem to Show up in the game Server List.. Or Rcon Tool Isn't Pulling up information... Best thin to do is to Push that Button... (Normally you would need to wait 2-4 hours and it will magically Appear in ur server list but with half the mods... ) Let's see... every time you Attend To Click those Buttons they will Always Display a Message saying "are you Sure..." FYI... Those Steps Listed Above... You Can Do them 100 times a Day.. They are Harmless and Useless After the First Time... (unless there is another Update Which had Happen 3 Updates Within 3 days) ...

I never heard of Standard Wipe.... I might have to Do Some Research.... I noticed other Servers Don't Do Wipes every month... I don't know how they do it...

In Home Tab (GameServers) You Will See Info, Config, Admin, Mod.. In the Config Tab. I Normally Add Codes to that. What it Does or Should do... Every time I restart the server. It Would Automatically Keep the Information As Normal For the Game-play.. Long Ago I Did Not know About that.. So every time I enter a Server I would have to type stability.false something something... and then i would able to build to the sky... and it would all break again when the server get's refreshed.. now Since i put that Code inside the Config Tab... It stays there. Saving me Trouble... Which That's why i posted this Question on here for the Server Update... I would normally Don't Stop the Server out of ignorance... And yet again after the server install I Would Noticed Broken Things...

If you Wish to Leave A Message to Resistance on PM or Place it here. he will Read through it. And He would love to help you out.

Good luck

 

So reinstalling, updating, or things of that nature won't wipe out buildings and blue prints? So if I go head and follow the update procedure steps about I will be fine and will still have everything prior to the updates?

Thanks again for your help.

 

yup that's what I'm saying. those steps are for when ever RUST people decides to make our Life's Miserableness by saying "haha, Look let's add a tiny little grass over here, ohhh yes your right to cover the patch up, and this and that, we need to have everyone update there Rust Servers, Push the Button Call it"

then yes those are the steps to do. So I can Do them All over again right now... it won't effect. useless. but the reason why i asked for this was because i didn't know i had to stop the server... which added additional hours to make everything run smoothly...

but don't do it. it's just gonna be waste of time for you and everyone in ur server.

BTW: I don't know about Blueprints.. how to Not wipe those or just wipe the Blueprints. because the Wipe Server Button does both of them at the same time... I think different server provider websites has optional Buttons.. "Do you also wanna include the Blue print wipe" or "Do you just wanna Blue Print wipe"

have fun.
[DOUBLEPOST=1455552348][/DOUBLEPOST]Also If your not sure.... Make sure (optional) Work with this Plugin lol...

Copy-Paste for Rust | Oxide
Have fun.

 

Lol, I was reading about backing up the .db file for saving blueprints. And I think I am going to go head with the above steps because I don't have oxide on my server, which I want, and my server has been a little weird so am going to try stop, update server, stop, oxide, stop, rust IO. Then see. I just wanted to make sure I didn't lose my beautiful base and all these blueprints. I don't have anyone on the server so once oxide comes out for the 2/15 serer update, I will go for it. Assuming what you say is true, that I will keep all saved stuff Thanks!

 

hey, i go crazy when someone raids my base... so if plugins or re installation did the same.... I would make a Huge Research before Going with it....

Maybe i can come check your server out? See how things go.. What you got. maybe we can exchange tips lol. ?

 

Haha for sure, "Welcome to the RL - Rust Life" is the server name lol

 

haha, nice intro "welcome to real life Rust server.... Everyone is Welcome accept hackers.. If your a hacker. your a bad person and obviously which everyone knows I'm gonna threaten you with a ban lol... -- on and on that's cool how do you post that message right there
