    If you don't see the oxide folder under server/youridentity, then Oxide is most likely not installed. Oxide is a mod, so make sure it is installed after any server updates. Once installed, you can verify it using the 'oxide.version' console command.

    Right that's what I've read as well.. So I've updated and than installed the mod than started the server up.. Still nothing.. Maybe my start bat file is incorrect it has auto update prompt line in it which I've removed as well but it still tries to auto update when I run it ... I won't be able to put anything from the server in the thread until I get home but wanted to reply..

    Any sort of autoupdating, validation, or update checking on startup would remove it.

    So I've tried removing all of the updating prompts.. Than the bat file doesn't even function.. Anyway i could pm/TS/skype whatever you to try and figure this out? I'll be home in about an hour..

    I can provide support on the forums, I don't really support through other means. If could, please provide me with the error you get when using the .bat. Also make sure you are using the correct path in your .bat for RustDedicated.exe, else make sure you are starting it from your install location.

    Upload the oxide/logs using the 'Upload a File' button.

    According to the log, not all files included with Oxide were installed. Make sure you overwrite ALL files with the ones included in the zip from Oxide.

    The actual file that isn't being replace is RustDedicated_Data/Managed/protobuf-net.dll.

    It sounds like the file isn't actually being replaced, else it is being replaced again through an updater. What is the size of the DLL?

    That should be right then. I'm not sure why you'd have the error then, as that was the only thing I could think of. You may want to try deleting your steamapps folder, then running SteamCMD to update again, then re-installing Oxide to make sure everything is properly updated.

    I installed Oxide 2.0 on the server that I'm hosting on nitrous networks.
    I uploaded all the files to the RustDedicated_Data directory and made sure existing files are getting overwritten.
    How do I know that Oxide 2.0 works now?
    I've tried to use the whitelist plugin by throwing the Whitelist.cs into the plugins folder.
    after running the server it is saying that /whitelist is an unknown command.

    any ideas?

    I'm pretty new to rust servers, I first started setting up one just an hour ago.. ^^

    Use the oxide.version console command. If you get "Unknown command", Oxide isn't installed.

    I get Oxide version 2.0.1773, Rust version: 1353.114.1

    but not sure why the whitelist plugin does not want to load.
    I'm using this one: Whitelist for Rust | Oxide
    folder I put the whitelist.cs is: RustDedicated_Data/Plugins
    there were already a bunch of .dll's in.

    Plugins are installed under server/identity/oxide/plugins. The other folder is unrelated to Oxide and isn't used.
