    After the Update my Plugins Load fine and Plugins that use config files don't load the configs.

    oxide.version
    [Oxide] 11:44 [Info] Oxide 2.0.2206 for Rust 953.85 (1477)

    I have sent my server provider this post below to fix

    Solved - No plugins load after update (host had custom path) | Oxide

    I got back this reply and I'm not happy


    "Your server is online, it has all the addons online and available, by the looks of the changes that Oxide have made there is a problem with it loading correctly. There is nothing we can do to resolve it as it is a change made by the developers of Oxide"


    Is there a How to on fixing this so I can tell the support staff how to get working again. Does Oxide have to be completely reloaded with Folder structure and everything.

    Any Help will be appreciated

    I got this reply to that thread,

    "This update has broken the way we are hosting it, we need to wait for them to resolve their problem."

    Is this something that will be updated with Oxide?
    [DOUBLEPOST=1469183067][/DOUBLEPOST]this is my servers setup they sent me

    Startup - +server.identity "723977" \
    {
    "ExtensionDirectory": "RustDedicated_Data\\Managed",
    "PluginDirectory": "plugins",
    "ConfigDirectory": "cfg",
    "DataDirectory": "data",
    "LogDirectory": "logs",
    "TempDirectory": "temp",
    "InstanceCommandLines":
    [
    "{oxide.directory}",
    "server\\{server.identity}",
    "server"
    ]
    }
    [DOUBLEPOST=1469183842][/DOUBLEPOST]Also got this reply to the topic you posted above

    That thread does not resolve the issue as it is a different issue. Your plugins are not reading the configs that you setup, rather than the plugins not loading.

    Plugin loading is not broken and there is no problem with it, the config was simply changed in a step toward universalizing the locations of Oxide files and to remove unnecessary config options that were not intended to be changed.

    The only thing that changed was the the removal of the PluginDirectory, ConfigDirectory, DataDirectory, LogDirectory, and LangDirectory settings (this one isn't in your config above, they're likely using an outdated one, TempDirectory hasn't existed for months as well.) The plugins and such would be stored under your server\identity\oxide\plugins folder by default, which is what it has been unless the host changed it.

    If the plugins are not loading, it's because of them being in a non-standard location that the host likely customized via that file. The config files for plugins are automatically generated and loaded unless the host is somehow preventing that.

    The normal and default paths:
    • server/my_server_identity/oxide/plugins
    • server/my_server_identity/oxide/config
    The "my_server_identity" is the default identity in Rust, but would likely be 723977 in your case.

    The plugins are Loading fine, just the config files aren't reading the ones I have loaded. I have the server at x10 but it is Vanilla. I had to go and reenter all the console commands for making it x10 and set all stack sizes to 10k as a work around. I restarted and it didn't save what I did so I had to reenter all chat commands again.

    It sounds like they just have the configs located in a non-standard location, which would just involve them being moved to the default.

    Hey Wulf,

    Can you include changes like this in the patch notes?

    It causes headaches for people when it suddenly stops working and the community needs to prompt you to find out why.

    I did have that the config was overhauled and renamed, but I'll provide more details in the future.
