PowerShell update script for Oxide

I wrote a simple Powershell script to help anyone running a server keep their uMod/Oxide version up to date with every server restart - just copy this as a .PS1 into \Rust\ and call the Powershell script as part of your server startup batch.

It should operate correctly for most people with no changes but I make no guarantees lol

Looks good, but keep in mind that we are moving away from GitHub, using our CDN primarily with the uMod release.

In that case, for scripts like this, please make sure the current build# is easily accessible in a similar way to this in the future :)

Hi,

How do I get the folder to extract to “E:\Server\rustds” as it keeps putting the RustDedicated_Data folder in “E:\Server”

Thanks

Simply place the ps script in the same direction as rust dedicated, in your case it would be “E:\Server\rustds”
