My Skins For personal use on my own dedicated server - Rust

Hi and ty for rust. we have a large group of players that have come together for private play. private servers , private games. several different game modes are involved but one very important topic keeps coming up in our groups. for instance. We have a game mode we will be doing that is Raid competitions . and one thing we are running into, players and teams would like to be able to use their own private skins for team uniforms. again this is private servers. Is there anyway possible to accomplish this or if not is there anything in the future that can fix the system of skins. i for one do not even want my skins accepted publicly, i just want to be able to use them for my team as well as others on my team on my or another PRIVATE server. any input from facepunch or its devs would be much appreciated and ty.

Use Oxide and mod your server. Its easy. One of the mods available is Skins.cs. You can edit its skins config file to include ANY workshop skin whether accepted or not. Kits.cs will save kits including the skins used. There are a lot more plugins that will help the goals of your server.

ANY IDEA HOW ?

https://oxidemod.org/threads/setting-up-a-rust-server-with-windows.5743/ You also need to learn how to install plugins,etc I recommended googling before asking here since a lot of people went through your same steps.

i already have a dedicated server with plug ins installed they all work just fine , but the skin id from steam url do not work any more , so any idea how i can make it work so i can use my skins , yes MY skins i made not someone elses if i want theirs i will buy them just like all the ones i already have bought. just my personal work and published property. any ideas ?

Sadly rust only uses the skins provided via the steam workshop (even the ones still not accepted like Whiskers pointed out). If you want to use your own skins you'll have to upload them to the workshop.

dude, i have already done this .i have my skins in my steam workshop for rust.right here man. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/184408/e6f2ad13-2676-4de1-bf7c-1eb0fec273cc/image.png

In that case, use this plugin: https://oxidemod.org/plugins/skins.2431/

yea i tried that and added my skin id from the steam workshop url and it comes back invalid id #. i put it in as the following. /skin add number with number being the id number. does it need quotes or somthing ?

ty very much tlean your help is greatly appreciated. i guess every time you change a setting in the mod if your server is running you have to reboot it . i can now use all of my skins privately which will make advertising and testing them b4 listing them much more beneficial for me and any players who might be interested in them in the future. there can be flaws u might not pick up on in a picture . like i said thank you very much i appreciate your time and help. you rock my friend.

No problem dude, glad you came here asking for help. I'll close the thread now since your issue is solved, in the future for any problems/questions/ideas please create a new thread in its respective forum, we really appreciate it!
