Solved Server not loading Oxide / plugins

    I restarted my server today to get the latest version of Rust. It downloaded fine, however none of the plugins worked. I checked and saw there was an update for Oxide. I downloaded the files and replaced the Oxide files in the folder where my RustDedicated file is.

    When I restart the server nothing oxide related loaded in. I also tried extracting directly to the folder thinking maybe some subfolders weren't getting copied. No luck. Is there something I'm missing here?

    EDIT: I have also removed the Oxide folder completely, replaced the files once more and nothing Oxide is loading. The folder is not getting recreated. This is in a Windows 2012 environment.

    Thanks-

    If i unpack it first i miss those folders, did you get the "Shall we overwrite 49 files?" from Windows when pasting in?

    Yes I did get that. I also manually removed all the files and then extracted the new ones. Could any existing plugins create problems?

    The Oxide builds are in the exact structure that they need to be extracted. Extract all of the files to your server root, not any subfolder, and overwrite all. Once you've done that, start the server using the _start-example.bat or your own startup script, and check that Oxide is loaded either with the 'oxide.version' command or by checking the bottom right corner.

    After you've confirmed that it is running, put plugins you've downloaded under server/identity/oxide/plugins. The server will load these automatically.

    No, Oxide actually has to be loading for plugins to load.

    Update: This is resolved. The batch file I was using to start my file was fetching the latest version of Rust which in tern was replacing the DLL's oxide needs to work. By creating two batch files, one for updates, one for starting the server this fixed the problem. Strange I never had this problem till the update on the 30th.
