Setting up a Rust server with Windows

Thanks for the clarification.

Found Mughisi's post that really opened my eyes
http://oxidemod.org/threads/setting-up-your-own-rust-server-with-oxide.5467/
posting here in case another developer has the same getting started questions.

One more note regarding Mughisi's post. To connect to your local experimental Rust server you should use client.connect instead of net.connect.

 

Probably me doing something wrong but..
I am getting the same problem the other chaps mentioned.

• made all the changes mentioned in the instructions
• Ensured I had Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 installed
• Built the project - No errors logged (Using VS Prof 2013)

• Copied across all the files mentioned in the instructions
• Launched the server. At his point the executable is evident in task manager but the console does not progress past the line from the batch file.
• Oxide log shows

Just to confirm that the server was running fine prior to attempting this. Perhaps I am missing something but strange same error as others on here have logged.

Any pointers appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

 

How are you launching the server? Is it a bat file in the same directory as the exe?

 

Certainly is. Screenshot attached showing dir structure and batch file content. Batch file tested and was working ok prior to me doing this

 

About what piracy you talking? Server files of rust are now public, everyone can download and run server. Hate hostings.

So, what is solution of problem with Lua extension?

 

The lua52.dll file in the repository is x86 which is incompatible with the new Rust Dedicated servers because those are x64, attached to this post is a x64 lua52.dll, just download it and extract the file to your main folder replacing the lua52.dll file you copied before and launch your server




Edit
I have removed the lua52.dll from this post as a working version is now available on the repository.

 

You awesome. Started great on my own PC's. But in dedicated server(windows server 2012 r2) still get error. Try to reinstall package and run.
More thx to you

 

Thanks for the input mate but afraid I still have the same problem. Same error as previously mentioned. Stab in the dark I also added the folder the executable and dll reside to the windows path statement. Also made no difference

Cheers
Dave

 

Seems like we have a fun problem here

Few things I can think of atm:
Do you have the Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 x64 installed? (Linked by Wulf in one of the previous posts if I recall correctly)
Which OS are you using?
Are you launching the server from a .bat file? Is that .bat file in the same folder as the server executable?

 

lol

Seeing it working for you is promising, must be something silly I am doing.

Downloaded the following;
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30679

Its running on a Windows 7 x64 virtual instance. I did have experimental rust running on it fine first of all.

batch file is located in the same folder as the rustdedicated.exe

just thinking out load, should I not be using the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x64 as I am using Visual Studio 2013 ? - http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40784

===edit===
put the wrong version number down for my version of VS is should have said 2013 not 2012..corrected. Question is still valid

 

Cool thanks, thats not the problem then

 

Pushed a new lua52.dll, this is the one that definitely works on my Oxide test setup.

 

So problem solved? Wrong version of Visual C++ ? Do you ininstall prev version and install 2012 ?

 

OK, got there in the end

downloaded the git repo again.

scenario which does not work;

• Two computers, one performing compile, one hosting rust dedicated server
• Compile machine has a mapped drive to the release folder on the rust dedicated server
• mapped drive is referenced in post processing command. (drive letter and not unc)

scenario which does work;

• perform compile on computer that hosts rust dedicated server. What I did in the end was copy the release folder to my computer running the compile using the same drive letter and folder path as the rust dedicated server. Then porformed the compile and copied the relevant files to the local folder.
• tested and server loaded successfully on compile computer
• copied the release folder back to the rust dedicated server
• tested and server loaded successfully on rust dedicated server

so it would seem that the compile needs to be performed on the same machine as you are planning on running the server or copy things around like I did above

Thanks for all you help and patience everyone. Now the fun begins

Thomasfn, just a big thank for oxide, breathed much needed additional life into legacy rust. Be great if oxide-2 does the same

 

I tried to get Gamerservers.com to install this and they said they would if they didn't have to compile it .
