1. Hello Everyone,

    This should be a simple fix with someone who has more knowledge about this than myself. I recently have been building a Rust server for my friends and have just a few mods to make it slightly faster paced than Vanilla servers. My issue is, for instance, I want to tweak the gather rate a bit because I realize it is not high enough in game. I go to my gathermanager.json config file in the directory C:\rustservername\oxide\config and make the edit to the config file, changing the gather rate for example from 2.0 to 3.0 making it so you gather 3x as many resources. My problem is I cannot get this update to go live while the server is on. I have to shutdown the server and fire it back up which takes about 5 minutes (kicking everyone off in the process.) Is there a way to make these changes update live while the server is running? I tried typing "oxide.reload gathermanager" in console and did not get any output. Is this normal? I didn't see the change happen in game either. But if I take the server down and reboot it, the change is applied.

    TLDR; When I make changes to plugin configurations and attempt to reload the config so the change is made while the server is live, it doesn't update in real time and I have to reboot the server to see the change.

    Thank you,
    Woodenshed

    Reloading the plugin would reload the config. If the config does not get reloaded, then it is more than likely not formatted properly. Also, plugin names are case-sensitive, which is why you did not see any reply from the command. oxide.reload GatherManager is what you'd use.
     
  3. Ah jeez, I had no idea they were case sensitive. Guarantee you that's my issue, let me verify. Yep, just did "oxide.reload GatherManager" and it reloaded successfully with output in the console. Thank you for that, I was about to throw this thing out the window LOL!
