Setting up a Rust server with Windows

Yup, it just got there. https://github.com/github.com/OxideMod/Snapshots/v164

 

You don't have oxide.root.json in your server's root. It's included in the snapshots and repo. You need it, as it's the configuration file for Oxide.

 

I think that's been on ongoing issue. @thomasfn

 

Yup! that's where it goes. Did you modify it at all?

 

Hmmm, you aren't running from that directory are you? You are trying to start it from outside of it which I do not believe works unless you change the directory into it first. You may be able to get around this if you edit oxide.root.json to include the full path for ExtensionDirectory.@thomasfn

 

Yes, those are compiled builds.

 

Check your logs then, you're either missing a file or you are missing Visual C++ 2012 x64 as per the instructions in this thread.

 

If anyone is interested in a more complicated, yet organized setup...

My batch script for Windows with moved save and log, and dated Rust log:

Code:

@echo off
set IDENTITY="wulf"
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -server.hostname "Oxide Server" -server.port 28015 +server.identity %IDENTITY% +server.maxplayers 100 -logFile "server/%IDENTITY%/logs/rust_%DATE:~-7,2%-%DATE:~-10,2%-%DATE:~-4,4%.txt"

My shell script for Linux with moved save and log, and dated Rust log:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
IDENTITY="wulf"
RustDedicated -batchmode -server.hostname "The Wulf Den" -server.port 28015 +server.identity $IDENTITY +server.maxplayers 100 -logFile "server/${IDENTITY}/logs/rust_`date +"%d-%m-%Y"`.txt"

My Oxide config with changed config path and merging of files:

Code:

{
    "ExtensionDirectory":     "RustDedicated_Data\\Managed",    "PluginDirectory":        "plugins",
    "ConfigDirectory":        "cfg",
    "DataDirectory":        "data",
    "LogDirectory":            "logs",    "InstanceCommandLines":
    [
        "{oxide.directory}",
        "server\\{server.identity}",
        "server"
    ]
}
