Solved Problems with new server config

    Here is the .bat I am using:

    Code:
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.hostname "Hosted By Me" -load -server.worldsize 6000 +server.port 28015 +server.seed 1789456 +server.identity "Vanilla" +server.maxplayers 200 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "test123" -autoupdate
    I am running this on a full dedicated server running Windows Server 2008. Nothing is hacked or patched illegally.

    I guess my first question is what is the difference between -server.worldsize and +server.worldsize the + and the - ??? Not the particular commands themselves but the plus sign or the negative sign?

    Secondly, I can't seem to get Rusty to work any more. I got it to work the other day just fine but I broken something else and I wound up just deleting everything in the steamCMD folder and starting again. Do I need the "around the password" in the config line? This is probably my second my important issue is being able to use RCON. I think I am going to try deleting all of the firewall rules and trying again.

    Also, if anyone has the original .bat config file that Gameservers.com has could you copy and paste that here? I have some questions about it. I know it had like -no.logs and some other stuff in it. I want to learn what all of this stuff does.

    Firstly, the minus and plus signs in front of the settings generally do not make any difference. I personally use + for settings and - for command-line only parameters such as -batchmode. Also, I'd remove -load as it isn't used anymore, and -autoupdate if you plan on using Oxide.

    Secondly, you can try setting +rcon.ip to the IP of your server, local if behind a router, or public IP if it has its own dedicated IP. You may also be able to use +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 instead.

    YES! The rcon.ip worked! As soon as I rebooted with that parameter! Thank you so much! <3

    Also, thank you for the information about the + and - Mucho appreciated on that as well!
