I noticed that raidable bases wasnt running on my server. I have the paid version for $40.  I remember a few weeks ago i got an email that raidable bases was updated here on umod and downloaded and copied over to server without remembering i use the paid version. After that i downloaded the updated version of the paid one and copied that on. Once i did the new wipe i havent had raidable bases working. I deleted the plugin, the config, as well as the data file and then copied everything back over from a backup i had and still get the following same error. Any ideas? Please and thank you.

The error appears to be with your configuration file for it; likely invalid formatting.

Is there an easy way to find out what in the config is wrong? and i assume you mean the config file in the oxide/config folder not the data.... Im guessing that when i installed the updated free version then replaced with the paid it might have messed something up. However i went and restored my config from a backup and that didnt help. Once i had it all setup working i never touched it besides that one mistake with the update.

I'm assuming they the config files may not be compatible, though I may be wrong. The error would imply something wasn't edited correctly though, as in the file was modified to where it is no longer valid JSON.

I appreciate your quick responses. I assume ill have to start from scratch again then and resetup the plugin. I went step by step and didnt have any issues setting it up just takes a long time. Ill check the confi with a JSON checker just for the heck of it i guess.

Merged post

So i took the [Raidable Bases] /home/rust/server/oxide/data/RaidableBases/Profiles/Hard Bases.json and checked it and for some reason there were three www at the start of the code. removed and get no error. uploaded and saved reloaded and i get no errors. however nothing loads in game. so guess its a fresh start im stuck with then,

you can use rbe debug command to see why nothing starts. also look for any other errors in console
