Hey, im new to this server thing. We are a dedicated group that is trying to make a new Rust RP server.

We have a server up and running but i would like to have a local server where i can test plugins before we add them to our live server.
I have a local server up and running, but i can't get oxide to work on that server.
I used this guide to try and install oxide https://www.corrosionhour.com/install-umod-rust-server/

When i check for oxide version, i just get the message Command 'oxide.version' not found.

If any one know what im doing wrong please help :)

That means Oxide isn't installed. Make sure you have replaced all files included with the download, and that you aren't running any Steam updates when starting the server.

How do i stop steam updates from running?

That would generally be something in your start script, so you would need to check there.

This is my start script.

echo off
:start

cd steam
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
cd ..

cd rustds
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.hostname "Thusind Test" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "my_server" +server.seed 1234567 -logFile "output.txt" -autoupdate
cd ../

goto start

I tried running it without
cd steam
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
cd ..

It is still not working

Merged post

After i posted i reinstalled the server again, and removed
cd steam
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
cd ..

Before i installed oxide, and now it look like it is working.
Thank you for taking your time to help me.
