    If you don't see anything from Oxide on your server console, then you don't have Oxide installed. Make sure you aren't trying to update your server after installing Oxide as it's a mod and needs to be installed after any updates.

    You can't be an "official" server either, those are only for Facepunch.

    So I went to the webcite for the rust experimental oxide and downloaded it and put that into my file where it says rust dedicated and has a rust symbol
    [DOUBLEPOST=1444176152][/DOUBLEPOST]What do I do when I did the text document and the coding and put the rust experimental in the file?

    All you need to do is extract the zip, overwrite the files, and start the server.

    Just copy/move the files from the zip to your server if you have access to, and it will prompt to overwrite else it will just overwrite.

    Hi guys,

    Quick question,
    Where should I place the config.cfg for the server? In which folder? I would like to move all the commands I have in the start script to this file so I can configure an app to keep my server 100% uptime.

    If I move all the commands to this file, just running RustDedicated.exe the server should start with all this config right?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mario
    [DOUBLEPOST=1444380084][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok after some more research I found a post in which Wulf explain that the server.cfg file should be placed into the root of your server.
    Does this mean in the cfg folder inside the identity of the server? I guess not right? My path its C:\Server\rustds\server\identity\cfg
    I see a cfg folder in the same directory where RustDedicated.exe and CSharpCompiler are. Should I place it here?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mario
    [DOUBLEPOST=1444381028][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok, now I read all the post (should have done it before) sorry.

    I just created the folder cfg into the same directory where RustDedicated.exe is. I placed the cfg file server.cfg inside and it should be ready.

    My question now its, I´m planning to start the service executing RustDedicated.exe, do I need to write -load or -logFile "output.txt" in this file or will rust create that logs by itself?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mario

    You update using the same way that you install it, which is documented in the first post. Download > Extract > Overwrite.

    The steps are pretty much the same for any setup, local or not. The only variance is how you actually run the steps, such as via control panel or directly.

    Hi. Sorry for stupid question. I have errors in compiling CS-plugins. Can someone tell me, what I’m doing wrong? And where is it “Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0”?

    Server on Win7 x64, installed Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 x64, Microsoft .NET 3.5 x64. Compiler error log is in attachment.

    The Newtonsoft.Json.dll is provided in every Oxide zip bundle. Just make sure you've installed it completely.

    Hey Wulf, I extracted the Oxide .zip into the correct place and booted up the server three times now, but it doesn't generate an /oxide/ directory in my server instance folder? :/

    Make sure you are overwriting all, and not running any updates when starting. You'll see the difference if you've installed it properly.
