Rusty Tool - Some confusion.

[Freddan11 1]

Hey guys! I bought a server from Survival Servers a couple of days ago, i really like it and im using the Rusty Tool.

Now, as ive understood, there has been some changes about you cant use the rcon commands via console anymore. Im wondering about some stuff i would love to get answers on. Here it goes:

1. Is there any way to make my name green, since im an admin?
2. How do i add my buddies as admins/moderators?
3. Is there any way to do airdrops anymore?


Thanks in advance, i really hope there is some ways around my issues. Thanks!!

So, first question is are you running Oxide mod on the server?  If not, you probably want to!  Most of the things you want to do will be available as a plug-in.

 

Check out these plug-ins:

Better Chat allows custom chat settings, colors, etc.

Easy Airdrops gives RCon & Chat commands that call airdrops pretty much anyway you would want.

 

Adding your friends as admins/mods is a simple use of these commands:

ownerid "steamID" "player name" "reason(optional)"

moderatorid "steamID" "playername" "reason(optional)"

Then use "server.writecfg" after entering the above commands to save to the server.

A full write-up can be found at Oxide's website HERE.

 

You can also add people to usergroups, such as Admin, that can have it's own set of permissions with Oxide's permission system.  You can dive into that HERE.

 

Have fun!

I think with Oxide mod it automatically makes owners/admins name's green.

 

Also, Rusty Tools seems to be abandoned by the developer sometime during last year. You can try Rust Admin instead if you'd like. The developer is very much active. The program has a TON of different features and is very aesthetically pleasing, including multiple themes. One of my favorite features is that you can have it so when someone types a word like "admin" it'll play a sound and flash the window. It's pretty awesome! I used Rusty when I first got my server from SS but soon after I found Rust Admin and never looked back.

Hope this helped!
