Setting up automatic wipes?
Posted 5 years ago
#1
Hi,

I have a Rust Server on a Windows server (dedicatd server). I wonder if there is something which can make me an automatic Wipe, some plugin or some script. Let's say I set my Wipe Maps to work on Thursdays and Full Wipe every two Thursdays, I mean automatically, without my intervention.

If you look back through the threads you will find many on this subject, The main problem with automatic wipes (if available) is when there is a major change in the way Rust deals with the way the game runs which might crash a lot of plugins and the subsequent updating of plugins to make them work with the new changes.

No, main problem that a lot of server are on hostings OR people dont want to pay for tool. The problem you are poiting is general problem with plugins, and have nothing with automatic update-wipe

An answer to his question might have been more helpful than a critique of my answer.

Make a .bat file that deletes the necessary files for wiping.
Then it will be as simple as shutting down the server, running the wipe .bat file and starting it back up.
