https://www.mediafire.com/file/m1hlhzdqey2a3v1/Rust_Server_Launcher_v1.5.bat/file v1.5 added runonce steamcmd update function that can be turned on or off in the config and can be set to update either the beta or stable release

as per request.

last one u posted says ...........
the system cannot find the specified path
I put the bat in the same location as all the last bats u posted and they worked fine.

Also once i press a key to continue it then proceeds to boot up the server

https://www.mediafire.com/file/u2atmu889kebwmt/Rust_Server_Launcher_v1.6.bat/file v1.6 (added user defined path setting for steamcmd directory instead of trying to use %HOMEPATH% to try to find your default directory) requires a tiny bit more setup but it should work if you link the paths correctly.

should eliminate the problem people are facing when they install the dependent files in different directories

https://www.mediafire.com/file/iavcr5suypdd2e6/Rust_Server_Launcher_v1.7.bat/file v1.7 (small patch so you can define the download location of SteamCMD files)

Intro Screen

Splashscreen

i got it to do the server / oxide update but after that the console just goes to a black screen and does not continue from there.

Working now :)

https://www.mediafire.com/file/5jqjvngd1qdcd0y/Rust_Server_Launcher_v2.0.bat/file New Version 2.0

Added a function for first time users that automatically downloads/installs the SteamCMD, Oxide and Rust Server files to pre-defined directories for easy setup

Patch Update: v2.1 fixes server launch so rustdedicated.exe will actually run... even though a really weird bug occurs with the text from rustdedicated.exe the server still is launching, you can refresh the screens progress by hitting any key... i hope to get this issue fixed but im not sure why its happening

https://www.mediafire.com/file/mrcmn5exaw7z53u/Rust_Server_Launcher_v2.1.bat/file v2.1

v2.1 isn't stable so i wouldn't advise using it unless you wanna help solve the issue,

v1.7 is the most stable but is missing a few newer features im still trying to get to work correctly

Patch Update v2.2 Fixed the all issues iv encountered script runs perfectly to my knowledge, i tested it going through all its stages on a blank folder and it worked. if you experience any issues please tell me and i will get around to fixing them as soon as i see the post

https://www.mediafire.com/file/x45sdxp4qzkr7ts/Rust_Server_Launcher_v2.2.bat/file v2.2

Update v3.0 added function that creates a folder inside the rust for the log files so they aren't generated beside the batch file anymore this also opens up the potential for the file to be launched from any directory on your computer

https://www.mediafire.com/file/qhs45u4a0fyd4uy/Rust_Server_Launcher_v3.0.bat/file v3.0

this will most likely be the final version unless someone stumbled upon a bug i didn't catch, if you do find a bug please let me know and i will get around to fixing it ASAP.

it installed SteamCMD then installed Rust server
then the splash screen came on and said Starting server 
Thats as far as it goes ..... Just a blank console window.

Also i dont think think this installs oxide either

The system cannot find the drive specified.

yea ok so i realized what the problem was... i was launching this file from a folder where it could fallback on its current directory for files it couldn't find, im working on fixing this issue so the file can be launched from anywhere, though this file still works if you install everything to the same directory its in it just currently only works conditionally.

New Interface appearence.

Main Menu appearence

quick heads up - last link does not work
The key you provided for file access was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on MediaFire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or MediaFire.
