Solved No player.cfg file

  1. Hi There!

    I'm new to hosting a rust server so please bear with me if I'm just being dumb.

    Okay so here's my problem; I'm looking for the player.cfg file in the directories of the server (I pay for a rust game server so I don't get much freedom with files) and I cannot seem to find any form of player config file, or player save data - I'm looking for this because I want to learn how to do a map wipe. ALTHOUGH! There is a player.cfg editor on the Configuration Files tab, but when I navigate to where it says it actually is, well..... There's nothing there.

    (Here's what I mean)

    In the Configuration files tab:

    When I navigate to the directory:

    THANKS! :D

    There is no such thing as player.cfg. Rust stores user blueprints under UserPersistence.db, signs under Storage.db, and other save data under the .sav files. The only .cfg files related to users is users.cfg, which stores owners and moderators in Rust.
     
  3. Yes about that. I give myself owner permissions and it doesn't write it to that file. Is this normal or?

    And what program do I need to access user blueprints? So I can view and edit inventories etc... Or is this not a thing?

    Sorry about this, my knowledge is not great. Kinda thrown myself in the deep end by going for it rather than researching it first.

    Did you use "server.writecfg" after using the commands to add the users?

    The .db files are SQLite databases. Editing them manually wouldn't be recommend.
     
  5. I did use that command after adding myself as the owner. Shall I do it the other way round?

    What other way around? That command will save the info to the file, but you may still have to relogin for it to affect your user.
     
  7. Problem solved! Just ignore my lack of knowledge. This is all new to me.

    Thanks for the help though :) You can go ahead and close or delete this thread now :)
     
  8. Is there anyway in order to keep who is admin and owner after a server restart? Also able to view who has that status?

    I'm completely new too been reading these forums all day. lol

    See Admin and moderators in Rust | Oxide. Status is only for admins.
     
  10. Yeah, I've read your post and got Rusty up and running! Also got it for my phone (Thanks a ton btw!) However, I cannot find the user.cfg file within my control panel. Also is there a way to keep it from resetting when I restart the server?

    You may not see if from your control panel, you can use console commands to add to it though as shown in the thread I linked. The key is the 'server.writecfg' command to make them persist.
     
  12. Awesome, "Config Saved" Hopefully it will stick for good after a reboot :D

    Thanks Wulf! YOU DA MAN!
