Im having the same issue as the guy a few days ago. When i add QuickSmelt.cs to my oxide plugins folder - it does not generate the QuickSmelt.json file in my config folder, I tried to manually create this folder but the plugin is not communicationg with the config file at all - any suggestions ?

Heres my config.....

{
  "Use Permission": true,
  "Speed Multipliers": {
    "global": 1.0,
    "furnace": 10.0,
    "furnace.large": 2.0,
    "small.oil.refinery": 2.0
  },
  "Fuel Usage Speed Multipliers": {
    "global": 1.0,
    "furnace": 1.0,
    "furnace.large": 1.0,
    "small.oil.refinery": 1.0
  },
  "Fuel Usage Multipliers": {
    "global": 1,
    "furnace": 1,
    "furnace.large": 1,
    "small.oil.refinery": 1
  },
  "Output Multipliers": {
    "global": {
      "global": 1.0
    },
    "furnace.shortname": {
      "item.shortname": 1.0
    }
  },
  "Whitelist": {
    "global": [
      "item.shortname"
    ],
    "furnace.shortname": [
      "item.shortname"
    ]
  },
  "Blacklist": {
    "global": [
      "item.shortname"
    ],
    "furnace.shortname": [
      "item.shortname"
    ]
  },
  "Smelting Frequencies (Smelt items every N smelting ticks)": {
    "global": 1,
    "furnace.shortname": 1
  },
  "Debug": true
}​

The plugin generates the configuration file when it is loaded. If a config file is not created, the plugin is not loaded. Check your oxide/logs for errors and verify that Oxide is actually installed.

Oxide is installed, and i have 14 other pugins fully operational. I have removed it and reuploaded it twice, is it possible something is off within the cs file ?

If Oxide is installed and the plugin is not generating the config file, whats the next thing to check ?

Your oxide/logs for errors.

Looks like you are missing the compiler. Make sure that nothing is messing with the server or download process, and check your server root to see if the Compiler.exe is there.

only thing on my SERVER folder is a folder called identity

Not your folder, the root install where RustDedicated.exe is.

my root install folder shows FOLDERS

Backups
oxide
server
steamapps
userdata
LICENCE.txt
server.log

sorry if im misunderstanding you

It sounds like your full structure isn't viewable then, so it'd be hard to tell if you are missing that file outside of contacting your host.

Quick question , the cs file is QuickSmelt.cs correct ?

Quick question , the cs file is QuickSmelt.cs correct ?

Yes. The error you are having is with the compiler; compiler not working = no plugin loading.

ok im going to try to update oxide again, my server host says the compiler is there - there was a client update today he thinks may have affected the plugin.

The compiler not working wouldn't be related to the plugin. If the compiler is there but breaking, something else is causing it to not work.

ok - is there anythin else i could show you to give more insight ?
