Hey i need help getting my plugins to work, everything I have tried hasnt worked..

What exactly isn't working?

any of the plugins, i put them into the oxide plugin folder and nothing happens, ive tried stopping and restarting the server but it still doesnt work

Sounds like you may not have Oxide installed then. Check the oxide.version command, if that doesn't work, you don't have Oxide installed. Otherwise, check your oxide/logs for errors.

I checked the logs and this seems to be the main error i dont know how to fix, "[Error] Failed to initialize plugin 'RustIO v2.13.0' (FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Oxide.Game.Rust, Version=2.0.3187.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.)

You are using an outdated version of Rust:IO.

okay thank you

Merged post

i downloaded the updated rustio and nothing happened, is it possible that my oxide folder is in the wrong place? I had it in the general folder for the server and then I looked how to install oxide and i moved it into the rustdedicated_data folder and I restarted the server to see if that fixed it and nothing happened, Ive been feeling that the server host im using for the server has the rust server files all in wack, idk if that would make a diffrence...

The error above is from the Rust:IO extension being outdated. To update it, you'd need to download the latest version (not on our site) and install it under RustDedicated_Data/Managed while the server is shutdown. I'd also check to make sure that you do not have multiple copies of it installed. If you still see the same error, then the version of Rust:IO you are using is not the latest version.

I've looked for any duplicates of the file and found nothing and went to the rustio site and downloaded the newest version and replaced the file and I am still having no luck and keep getting the same error code..

I’d try removing it then to see if the issue persists.
