Noob Questions

Hi,

 
I am completely new to server ownership and modding. I want to install TruePvE ONLY to correct the bug in which shooting hostile human NPCs (e.g scientists) causes the player damage on my vanilla PvE server. At this stage, I want to keep things as close to vanilla as possible while I learn more.
 
1. Will simply installing this plugin achieve the result I want on my private server? Or will I have to change any particular settings?
 
2. Will temporarily stopping my server to implement the plugin cause any player or world data to wipe?
 
I don't mean to pester the creator with such elementary questions. If anybody else could just give me a pointer or two I'd really appreciate it.
 
Thanks.
 

1. no, it will greatly modify your server

2. do not stop your server to install plugins. they will automatically compile and load using default Oxide settings

I don't really have an elegant solution to prevent the damage since it's marked as Generic and therefore hard to identify and block without blocking other Generic damage that should be allowed. I'll think on it

save as ServerPVE.cs

do not use the server.pve convar with this plugin

this plugin prevents all PVP damage, and

all damage to player entities is blocked unless the player is authorized on the tool cupboard
