Looks like you did everything correctly except the file contents you copied are not the complete contents.

17:41 [Error] Oxide.Game.Rust; using System is referenced by NoGiveNotices plugin but is not loaded! An appropriate include file needs to be saved to plugins\include\Ext.Rust; using System.cs if this extension is not required.

However you are downloading the plugins is causing them to be corrupted/improperly formatted.

Try to use wget for downloading plugins?

yea i put them into notepad(on windows) and copied them into the file. how should i be doing it

wget worked thankyou solved

Remember the way windows and linux works with text are dirrently. I dont know how to describe it but just know they don't fully work the same when sharing it. I also has this a while ago with a program I made. Turns out I had to stream it instead of directly copy/pasting.

Line endings are different between Windows and Linux, and Notepad does not handle the standard which is \n (Linux).

Solution: Don't copy/paste, use a real text editor such as Notepad++ for any editing (shouldn't be necessary).
