Hello!

After saving, shutting down, and running my server again, Oxide doesn't seem to be working.  I'll run oxide.version to check and it comes up with nothing.  It doesn't work again until I paste the RustDedicated_Data folder back into my server, which overwrites 38 files instead of 10, but ever since the Halloween update now my servers won't load at all because of HalloweenDungeon.population.
 
I run my server using the batch script file example from Rustified with only minor adjustments for things like server seed, size, and title.

Could anyone help me figure out what I might be doing wrong?

That batch script is updating the server each time, which uninstalls Oxide. Oxide has to be installed after any game server updates such as those via SteamCMD. If the commands do not work for Oxide, that's a good indicaton it isn't installed.

I edited the batch file to remove the mandatory update and it's been working ever since!  Thanks so much for the response I really appreciate it ☺️
