Hey

I hope this is in the right place! I would like to just ask about the https://assets.umod.org/games/rust.json data. I'm wondering if the steam branches object here shows compatiblity with the the oxide version (latest_release_version field)? I suppose my question is, will this buildid only update when a compatible oxide version has been released? I am looking to use this as part of an update script to ensure compatiblity between both oxide and rust before updating them.

"steam_branches": [
{
"name": "public",
"pwdrequired": 0,
"timeupdated": "1691153241",
"buildid": 11866809
}
]

Many thanks!

No, that url just shows the latest Rust branches unrelated to Oxide releases

Ah okay thank you for clarifying. I suppose it's not really possible to know the buildid before FP push! Now looking into https://umod.org/games/rust/versions.json 👀 Looks like I could use the protocol mentioned in the description but might not be too helpful unless I download the server first and check the DLL but would take a long time. I suppose it could be done with `.240.` part || `August 4th Rust` scraping. Behaviour looks like that increments by one each month. 

Logic might look like, Wait for monthly update, check if oxide update for this month (either .241. existing || `September 7th Rust` for the next month) exists and if not just wait, then with both rust & oxide conditions met, shutdown server, update both.

Edit... I suppose you could also just update rust as soon as it comes out, check the DLL and then use the protocol version from there to check oxide availablity which could be more robust but you might risk longer downtime if the oxide release takes a while. Where if we did the first method, players could still play right up until the update is needed.

But even then, just comparing the protocol version doesn't say they are compatible does it.

For example the latest release on oxide
"Patch for August 3rd Rust update (Protocol 2405.240.1)
 Patch for August 4th Rust update (Protocol 2405.240.1)"

Is there any concrete way to tell if a rust version and oxide version are compatible?
