Need some help with my server setup

HI GUYS...im a bit new to all this but enjoy modding and playing around with games....ive done my own rust server and in the plugins ive edited some files so have custom loots gather ,supply drops ect........anyways had to restart server update, my files are the same as I edited....but ingame its set back to the norm.....

so any help would be awesome.....in how to sort this problem...also in updates do I have to keep changing my conif settings in the plugins that I have changed after every update? or is there a way I can download the plugin after it has updated and keep my settings the same.....

I have a error setting breakpad minidump appid 252490

sorry if im confusing as im confused my self ...lol

I plan to reset my server every week so dose this mean I have to change all the settings in my files I changed to?

 

you edit the config that the plugin makes not the plugin

 

You edited the plugins config while the server was running? Then you need to unload the plugins first.. as example:
oxide.unload BetterLoot
-> Edit the configs/data files & save them
oxide.load BetterLoot

You dont need to restart your server.

--

After a rust update some plugins will create a .old JSON file, but not that much ones. Maybe check for old json files...

--

And if you want to wipe weekly you can use the old configs too...

 

cheers for the quick replys guys ill look into it........
[DOUBLEPOST=1482611980][/DOUBLEPOST]well...I don't seem to have any old files but what I have noticed is when I load my server I don't have oxide at the bottom anymore......

 

oxide needs reinstalled after each server update

 

is there an easy way to do this? ive updated app in cmd it says up to date......on my server cmd it has come up.......
setting breakpad minidump app id =252490 and then
eac_server.dill {x64} :: hmodule: 000007fee8bc0000 dwreason: 1 lpvreserverd: 0

 

yup tried that no joy still no oxide on server cmd.......dunno what that is what come up in my cmd what I wrote above....it was in green.....

 

cheers wulf...I tried again and worked this time.........do u mind checking this for me?......
