[Dpa1991]

Changelog

• Increased stacksize for Logs from 1k => 3500
• Increased stacksize for Stone from 1k => 3500
• Increased stacksize for Metal fragments from 1k => 3500
• Increased stacksize for Metal ore from 1k => 3500
• Increased stacksize for HQ Metal from 100 => 3500
• Increased stacksize for HQ Metal ore from 1k => 3500
• Increased stacksize for Metal ore from 1k => 3500
• Added command /pm <playername> for private messaging players online
• Added command /r to reply to private messages
• Added command /home to set a home * more info about this below
• Added Server reward: Random item (2 points) * more info about this below
• Added Server reward: Blueprint Page (3 points)

How to use /home

Type /home add <name> to set your home. To return to your home, type /home <homename>
To remove a home type /home remove <homename>

Random Item server reward

This currently costs 2 rewards points and will give you a random item ingame with an exclusion to end-game items (ie auto-turrets, C4, quarries and so on) weapons, tools, traps

Unfortunately, this seems to break if you have members of your clan online, as if a clanmember is online it will think you are both the same person, charge for the purchase and not deliver the items. I'll have to look into this further to make sure it works.

How do I get Server Reward Points?

You get 1 reward point for every hour you play on the server

How do I use the Reward Shop?

Type /s ingame to open the GUI, there will be 3 tabs "Kits" "Items" and "Commands" currently there is only one for "items" to purchase the BP Page, click the "Cost:3" button

And that's all, I'm still learning how to run rust servers so if you see any issues (such as item stack sizes) feel free to post here and I'll take a look.

[Stariieyed]

Looks great! You did lotsa work today!

[HD]

Cool! Thanks

[BattleAxium]

Thanks Dpa! I was on for some of these changes.

[iLaxrv10]

Thanks Dpa! Cant wait to play with @TheOfficialMiner and @TeraStorm

[TRITIUMNITR0X]

Nice work, dap.

There is an issue with Mining Quarries not allowing players to access it's containers, thus making the Mining Quarry completely useless. Can you look into that?

[Dpa1991]

I have no idea what would of caused this but yeah I'll give it a look

I undid everything I did in the changelog and they're still broken. Only thing I can think of is they broke in the recent server update? Might need to wait till the next version to get a fix.

It was broken before these changes. But, it doesn't seem to be a Rust issue, just this server. Will do some testing to see if I can spot the issue.

EDIT: After testing, it seems you just can't access anything on a mining quarry. No clue what the cause is.

[Jyncs]

Did you un-nerf the c4?

[Towelie]

Did you un-nerf the c4?

yup.

[Jyncs]

Sweet! Two rockets and 2 C4 could not get through a door.


Also PM me what type of mods we would want to enhance and I will see if I can set up an environment to work on it.

I might convert this plugin for Oxide since it would be quite nice to have.

Thats what I was thinking, seems like it might be due to the server update itself. But it might not be, but I dont see anything else that might cause it

Couldn't find any patch notes or reports about it. May be the anti-cheat or some other plugins Towelie installed.

I removed all plugins, loaded server - still didnt work. So I re-setup the server and now it works, same plugins too.

Weird... Blaming valve seems to be the only option here.

Can't wait to play on it I did finally buy it

[Towelie]

So uhm, ideas on how to get more players onto it?
I already talked to @Izzdaer about promoting it on more rust server sites but he's on a roadtrip atm.

Like I said, you're competing with lots of bigger servers. The only way to survive against them is to put some time into development. Not just plugins you can find anywhere, but custom, made in-house plugins that will attract people. Not only that, but moving the server to Canada might help.

[Mrs_Ender88]

I will try to get some of my friends to play on it and spread the word

This and change the server name to display what the server offers. Seeing "Super Fun Time EU" (or whatever it is) versus XandYRust Server | 5x gather | TP | HOME | CLANS is a lot less effective at pulling in players. Nobody wants to have to join a server and do a lot of guess work as to what the main plugins and features are.

I'm trying but so far nobody has been willing to make any custom plugins and money is tight so paying someone to do it is not really an option.

Moving to canada uhm i'd only like that if it picks up and constantly gets over ~5 players because it's going to cost. (We're cutting down costs, cancellign servers left and right)

Suggest a  "SWAG" name pls ? xD I'm not good at this.

[Caz10]

I'll be playing on there soon. My friend has RUST and I just need to get his steam password so I can play it.
Edit: Haha, I don't mean steal his password. We are close friends, he trusts me xD

Umm, "SFT Rust |HOME|HUNT|CLANS|REMOVE|GADMINS" Idk lol. You might wanna add some more common and sought after plugins and put those in the name

[Towelie]

Super Fun Time EU HUNT|CLANS|REMOVETOOL|REWARDS [superfuntime.org]

How about this ?

[Izzdaer]

I'm back

@Towelie I think that looks alright.

@Dpa1991 I read on a lot of forums that it was in fact the oxide update not the rust update that broke the quarries, but for some people not others, a weird occurrence for sure but it wasn't just us. The changes you did look great. Did you use the in game commands with the item in your hand for the donation items or add them manually because I couldn't get the in game to work >.<

There's a few more plugins I and @RallyReaper want that I'll get sorted out today.

@Izzdaer @Dpa1991  -> Jyncs is our guy! IF you have anything that you need modified by him let him know with me in CC.

Thank you @Jyncs  - appreciate it!

I started yesterday and got pretty close to remaking a plugin that's made for Pluton. Not sure if you'll install it or not when it's ready but it's something that'll be nice to have.

EDIT: Since you are going with Jyncs, I'll finish off whatever I'm working on, you can have it if you want, and I'll let Jyncs take over.

[Jyncs]

It doesn't have to be one person. We can collaborate. Having more than one dev will help make better mods. At work we do a code review as a group to help make each other better

Meh, it's not a problem working with people. I'm an SE major at college, we work in groups all the time
It's more of some people working on this server really don't like me so I would rather not intrude here.

But, I'm working on this in C# right now, since it seems to have the most support with the Oxide API. But, you could use Python, JS, Coffeescript, and lua as well.

I encourage you to work on plugins. As a current Software Engineer you can always use the practice. There are many places when you go to interview that want you to do sample coding and you want to be prepared.

As for the other languages, they are ok however I would focus on .Net if you could. I know my company is always hiring new developers and is a great company.

Thanks for the advice Jyncs! I really appreciate it My university offers Co-op programs, so I'll take advantage of that as well. I finished the Auto Door plugin btw. Took me awhile since I had to get used to the Oxide API.
