[MOD] RustEssentials - Rust

[QUOTE]I appreciate the quick reply. I'll be watching for the article on loot tables.[/QUOTE] No wuccas, will get one out as soon as I have revamped the wiki, which I am doing now.

I have googled for a while now and can't find an answer to this problem : Is there a way for an admin to change their name while logged into the server? It would help when i want to switch to being a normal player from the name players know as the admin.

It would help when i want to switch to being a normal player from the name players know as the admin.[/QUOTE] Using the Essentials mod? not to my knowledge, or are you speaking just generally, regardless of whether a mod is installed or not? The only way I have found works best to segregate admin and normal play was using the Rusty tool to speak through the server console while being logged into the server under my usual name. Doesn't really help if you need to by physically present, i.e. removing an object for players or whatever though.

Major overhaul of the Essentials Wikia. The main aim was to make the content easier to browse and also to allow for future growth of the Wikia. I still have a bunch more articles to write after appropriate testing etc, and with an update to Essentials coming soon I hope to get some new guides for the new content out the door as quickly as possible. Following are some handy links which will help you out: [URL="http://wiki.rustessentials.com/index.php?title=Main_Page"]Wiki Main Content[/URL] - ALL articles are referenced here.

/random causes logs of errors in Rusty and eventually crashes server. Sometimes itll work for bit then other times use it will break. I know when I did /random 1 1. it broke it. Also, /remover does not seem to be working properly. Is this a known issue or is it just not working for me? Last thing, Any idea when your releasing new updates? Thanks a ton. Appreciate all your work.

Well, in 1.7.0 /remover (on/off) only works on foundations, ceilings, and pillars. In the next version, I've added the option to make it work on everything. Down the road I want to add an option to blacklist certain objects. 3. Not a clue. I'm terrible with ETAs.

I am not seeing the MOTD on join... Below is the output. I see online references to essentials.motd permission - but dont see where I can edit that... (fpsplayers) Thanks for any help! # This is the MOTD file. Messages displayed upon join or cycle should go here. # Please note that the # symbol resembles a comment and should not be used when configuring. # # [Join] is the MOTD that is broadcasted directly to the user that joins upon connecting. # [Cycle.#(s/m/h)] is the MOTD that is broadcasted to all users every time the # elapses. # [Once.#(s/m/h)] is the MOTD that is broadcasted to all users once after the # elapses. # [Rules] is the MOTD that is broadcasted directly to the user that types /rules # # The #(s/m/h) in [Cycle.#(s/m/h)] resembles the interval in (s)econds, (m)inutes, or (h)ours. # Example: # [Cycle.2h] # This is the MOTD. # This MOTD will be broadcasted every 2 hours to all users. # # Remember that you can add and remove as many lines as you want for the two MOTDs. # All MOTD's can run commands with {/command name}. # Example: # [Once.10m] # {/save} [Join] testing test test! [Cycle.15m] #CycleMessage1 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #CycleMessage2 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #CycleMessage3 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD [Cycle.20m] #CycleMessage1 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #CycleMessage2 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #CycleMessage3 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD [Once.1h] #OnceMessage1 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE ONCE MOTD #OnceMessage2 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE ONCE MOTD #OnceMessage3 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE ONCE MOTD [Rules] #RuleMessage1 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #RuleMessage2 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #RuleMessage3 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD

If you confirm that those test join lines you added that aren't hashtagged out are still not displaying upon joining the server, confirm that you reloaded the configs since you made the changes, either by typing "/reload config" in game or restarting your server. (Make sure you have given yourself access to "/reload" under your rank in commands.ini) If you have done the above and you still aren't seeing them it could indicate another problem. Is everything else working as expected? I edited this a bit as on first look it looked as though your issue was with the use of the hashtag, but will advise just in case you don't know, make sure that you remove the hashtags from the start of any message you want to display. Having the Hashtag at the start of the line will cause the line to be skipped over. If all your cycles have hashes at the START of the line all will be skipped over, causing none to display: This: [Cycle.15m] #CycleMessage1 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #CycleMessage2 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD #CycleMessage3 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD Needs to look like this: [Cycle.15m] CycleMessage1 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD CycleMessage2 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD CycleMessage3 # DELETE THESE LINES TO REMOVE CYCLE MOTD [B]Only use Hashtags at the end of a line for commenting purposes, as an example[/B] [Cycle.15m] Airdrops every hour # I Added line on Airdrops on the 19th Sept because my players were complaining

I don't think this is a permissions issue, as you don't need any type of config relative to permissions to see the join messages. Is everything else in the mod working as expected? it really sounds like you haven't reloaded the motd.ini file since you made those changes. Any change you make in the config files requires the files to be reloaded before you will see the updates in the server. as advised, you can simply restart the server or reload the motd.ini file on the fly by typing "/reload motd" or alternatively "/reload all" which will reload all of the reloadable config files for you. Edit - Again, make sure that you have added /reload under yours or the admin rank and restart the server. then just reload without needing to restart the server by typing "/reload xx.ini" see the reloading article for info on this: [URL="http://wiki.rustessentials.com/index.php?title=Editing_Essentials_Configs_on_the_fly"]http://wiki.rustessentials.com/index.php?title=Editing_Essentials_Configs_on_the_fly[/URL] Regarding your permissions, they look fine. What you need to be aware of is that by default, ranks will inherit all permissions of the ranks below them, see the wikia article for more info on this: [URL="http://wiki.rustessentials.com/index.php?title=Permission_Hierarchy"]http://wiki.rustessentials.com/index.php?title=Permission_Hierarchy[/URL] So as long as the permissions the admins have are the ones you intend for them to have access to, your current setup is fine remembering you will inherit all commands of all ranks under you. Admins will inherit all command permissions of any rank under them and so on. obviously anything in the Owner rank will only be usable by you or anyone else in owner.

When I type /reload all into the console (f1) it just echos the command in green, does that mean it working, or am I in the wrong place all together? Jim

no RustEssentials doesn't need input into the F1 console. you should just be able to type say "/reload config" into the chat and see some feeback telling you that the config file has been reloaded. Lets start from scratch, can you answer these for me?: Edit - some of the questions are pretty obvious but its always good to start from scratch so we can find where the issue is! 1. You have installed RustEssentials; 2. You have added yourself as owner in the Ranks.ini file; 3. You have added all commands you will need to use as owner (including the /reload command!) under the appropriate rank in the commands.ini file; 4. You have restarted the server to make sure all of the above (and any other changes made) have been reloaded; 5. When you get in game post restart, you should see the join messages as added in your motd.ini (without hashes remember!); 6. Try typing one of the commands you have added under your rank, try "/reload config" and if things are working you should see a message telling you that you have reloaded the config file. Can you confirm them for me and we will go from there. I strongly recommend you check the getting started articles in the Wikia as all you need to get started using RustEssentials is there.
