Permission 'absolutgifts.vip' doesn't existSolved

HI,

if i try to activate the Permission in the console "oxide.grant user kroko absolutgifts.vip" i get the message:

"Permission 'absolutgifts.vip' doesn't exist

what do i wrong? hope someone can help me...

either plugin not loaded due to oxide not installed or in wrong folder and best to add it to your admin group
oxide.grant group admin absolutgifts.vip
Absolutgifts has not worked for some time now. It needs to be updated and the author seems to have abandoned the plugin. It really should be removed from the Downloads IMO.

The author took some time away from Rust, but is around now. He should be fixing these up soon as able. This thread though is about the permission, which in this case means that the plugin isn't loaded when this message is shown, granted the permission is properly registered.

Im pushing an update tonight. VIP permission is not a plugin issue. As @Resistance stated, it is likely that the plugin just isnt loaded at all. As part of the update I will no longer unload the plugin if ImageLibrary is missing/unloaded.. instead images will just not work. 
Awesomesauce!! Glad to see youre back!  :-)

So I updated the plugin on my server and it mostly worked. I tried to create a gift and get a blank screen. I cant even hit ENTER to get into chat. I have to unload the plugin to make things run again. 

Oxide.Rust Version: 2.0.4019
Image Library: 2.0.42
Server is running on Ubuntu 18.04 (everything is updated)

It's as though CUI isn't working for you at all. Do any plugins with UI work?
Serverinfo plugin works fine. Only other interactive plugin I have atm. 
Odd. So I unloaded all plugins in case there was a conflict. I then reloaded AbsolutGifts and it worked but the images were blank. So I reloaded ImageLibrary and then reloaded AbsolutGifts. With only those 2 plugins running it stopped working again. Could there be an issue with ImageLibrary?

Seems you are the only one it is working for. I have been searching for an answer and disabling everything but it does not work. Problem is a carry over from the 1.4.4 version. Look thru the old thread...
