I just rented a Rust server for the first time for my kids (they're little).  I'm new to configuring Rust servers but have run ARK servers for years so at least I'm not a total moron..  Please help haha

The command /Gather isn't being recognized in game - I'm guessing the mod isn't being recognized at all.  I've edited all the settings in the .json but none are working.  Every other plugin I've installed aside from the Night Zombies mod doesn't seem to be working in any way either.  Am I missing something simple?

Thank you in advance for the help!

If the command does not work, the plugin is more than likely not loaded. What exactly isn't recognized about it? Does it show "Unknown command" or no reply at all? If there is no reply, you likely do not have Oxide installed even.

When I try to use /Gather in chat it "Unknown command:  gather".  The plugin doesn't seem to be loaded nor do any of the others with the execption of Night Zombies.  Night Zombies is working fine and when I edit the config it does actually change the plugin's settings.  I feel like I'm missing something basic since none of the other plugins seem to be loading.

uMod and Oxide are installed.. I can edit the .json for all the plugins I have loaded and they're nested under Oxide in the file manager.

Thank you :) 

You only have Oxide installed, not uMod; different projects and uMod isn't released yet. The command showing "Unknown command" is an indication that Oxide is working though, so that should be fine. I'd start by checking your oxide/logs for errors.

This server is on HostHavoc - on the control panel it says uMod is installed - the imgur link is a paste shows the mod manager in the control panel.

Here are some pastes from the Oxide logs - I don't understand the actual failure though.

It looks like your configuration for the plugin was edited wrongly. Make sure to follow the existing format for the configuration, not removing decimals and such.

Also, your host is confusing Oxide with uMod, they aren't the same. ;) Oxide is hosted on our site, but it isn't uMod.

So I've noticed that this plugin is also not working for me.  I watched a tutorial on how to install just to be safe.  In the video it mentioned the file should be a json file but after I download it is appearing as a cs file.  Could this be the reason it's not working for me?  If so, how can I fix?
