    Hello, I accidental deleted my Config folder for Oxide Plugins over FTP and now cannot get it back. It's got hours of coding in there (I rewrote most of them) all to now be lost. I've contacted my Server provider and they do not create backup. I've noticed that the plugins running still have the old .JSON config file running, so is there any way to force recreation of the current config folder (the way it was before I deleted it)? I really need this because when the server Restarts I'll loose all my precious re-written configs. Thank you. -Macky

    If you haven't shutdown your server since deleting the config files, then the configs are still stored in the server's memory. The configs aren't stored in another folder though, so the only way you'd be able to recover those configs is by dumping the configs from memory somehow.

    Please tell me you know of a way of doing that? Thanks.

    Please, my server is doomed else :( I just need a point in the right direction.

    I personally don't have a working solution for you, so you may have to wait for someone who does.

    The best thing you could do is look at each plugin and see if they have an unload method that saves the config. Otherwise you'll need to use reflection and grab the config object out of each plugin and force save it.
