Setting up a Rust server with Windows

Heey wulf long time no see yeah i fixxed everything at moments all works fine all do sometimes when there is a server overload that he trows my Ports to close haha for all others works fine i do wonder is its possible to setup server details so when you see my server listed that i shows a banner and text. if possible haha been to long from me i was in the legacy so ussed to CFG files haha but the batch fle looking fine now and if i find a way that the server can update normale + copy the Oxide files back after update that would be great to is there a way for you maybe make a side programe that updates the oxide files automaticly

 

Please help Wulf on my server the auto turret is not shooting any one is this a rust problem or oxide? And is it happening with other people? Thanks!

 

Then yeah it must be Rust because I dont have any plugins that modify it. Thanks tho

 

Hello.
Im a little upset cuz everytime a Oxide Update comes, all the Plugins in my Server stop working, till i do the update.
Is this normal....
?

 

Hey Wulf, I was wondering if you could post a mini-guide on updating the server after a patch that forces a wipe.

Last week, I tried to update my server files and while everything seemed OK, the server wouldn't boot. I had to delete everything and re-install the server for it to work again.

Yesterday a patch came out, so normally the client and server have different builds. What is the correct process of updating? Server files --> Oxide --> Plugins?

Or do we have to start with a fresh install every time?

Thank you in advance.

 

Start steamcmd
login anonymous
force_install_dir "your rust dir"
app_update 258550 validate +quit

Reinstall oxide
If its a update that removes all homes etc etc then some files in the data folder will also need deleted

 

Let me ask one question: Do I need to get a windows 2012 server build OS or will it run on other operating systems too?
We thought about to get a root server.

 

The script for running the sever didn't work properly, but id did find one that worked;

c:
cd c:\server\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated
:loop
rustdedicated.exe -batchmode +server.hostname "Lambda.net RUST {EXPEREMENTAL}" -load +server.port 2815 +server.seed 23987642938746
+server.identity "infused" +server.maxplayers 4 +rcon.port 5678 +rcon.password "passwd" -autoupdate
goto loop


Note: The directory may need to be chanced, this is the script that I use to run my server.

 

The window would appear for a split second, then disappear.

 

I'm using Windows 10

 

Awesome! It works now! Thank you for the help, Wulf!

 

So I don't know if this has been asked, and I am not sure, I should probably post this somewhere else, but it's late and i wanted to post something. So, apologies in advance. Here is my issue, I am running a Rust server on a dedicated box. I installed Oxide into the Server folder, the oxide unzipped file did not have a plugins folder in it. The compiler did not run. I went ahead and started adding plugins in the default plugins folder. Well, my server does not start up now. I have removed everything that I changed, start from scratch again. My server does not start up now, giving me an error saying, "Startup Error: 5." Not sure what to do at this point, server was fine until I added Oxide and the plugins. I did not edit anything else.
Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
