Rust Setup

[J-English]

I have un-managed server running windows 2008R2.

I have downloaded steamCMD

Initiated C:\steamcmd
Files have been downloaded into C:\steam folder.

I logged in as "login anonymous"
I have created a folder in my Cdrive naming it rust
Then typed "force_install_dir C:\rust"
Then typed "app_update_258550 -beta experimental"

this downloaded the files for rust as follows in this screenshot


I then created a start.bat file by using
@echo off
Start /RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -hostname "Nomercykillers" -port 28015 -datadir "save/rust/" -maxplayers 100 -cfg "save/server.cfg" -oxidedir "save/oxide"

Or

Rustdedicated.exe -batchmode

Double clicking the start bat file after its created i get this message :


Am i missing something?

Which Rust version are you attempting to run? The current install includes three.

[J-English]

im trying to install rust exp..
but i dont see those 3 folders legacy release etc

Might be something with you logging in anonymously. Do you have an account with Rust on it? If so, try logging in with that. Also your current command line is mostly invalid. It should look something like..

-batchmode +server.hostname "NFOservers.com: Stress Test" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "NFOrust" +server.seed 6738 -logFile "output.txt" +server.secure +server.maxplayers "200"

so i logged in using steamcmd
using my steam account instead of anonymous.

after typing

Code: Select all

app_update 258550 -beta experimental

i get the following error in steamcmd :

Code: Select all

Error failed to install app,"258550" <no subscription>

Looking at the screenshot it appears the server was actually working but your command line was just invalid. Try going back to anonymous and using the command line I posted.

[J-English]

none of its working..when i create the start.bat with the line you posted.i now just get a quick flash of the cmd prompt and thats it.

Even when i do it my way...strange.
Cant think of anything to fix this.

I was able to get mine to launch by using the anonymous login with "app_update 258550 -beta experimental". My batch file looks like..

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
CLS
CD "C:\Games\rust\Release\"
CMD /c START "Rust Dedicated Server" -batchmode +server.hostname "NFOservers.com: Stress test" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "NFOrust" +server.seed 6738 -logFile "output.txt" +server.secure +server.maxplayers "200" +server.tickrate 30
EXIT

Granted when launching using the bat file it took about 20 seconds to start.

[J-English]

Hmm just cant get it to work

[kraze]

What if you launch using the shortcut directly?

[J-English]

When i launch the rustdedicated application a typical windows error box appears

[kraze]

I mean create a shortcut via the main exe and add the command line I posted above. Assuming you have correct files it should boot properly.

[J-English]

So i tried to copy how you did it,

Code: Select all

Login anonymous
Force_update_dir C:\Games\Rust\Release
app_update 258550 -beta experimental

I created a start.bat file using

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
CLS
CD "C:\Games\rust\Release\"
CMD /c START "Rust Dedicated Server" -batchmode +server.hostname "NFOservers.com: Stress test" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "NFOrust" +server.seed 6738 -logFile "output.txt" +server.secure +server.maxplayers "200" +server.tickrate 30
EXIT

Shortcut




running the start.bat

[kraze]

Seems like something in the .bat file is off. To confirm paste that command line into the target window of the Rust shortcut and launch it. If the bat is at fault it should work.

[J-English]

hmm i pasted

Code: Select all

CMD /c START "Rust Dedicated Server" -batchmode +server.hostname "NFOservers.com: Stress test" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "NFOrust" +server.seed 6738 -logFile "output.txt" +server.secure +server.maxplayers "200" +server.tickrate 30

in the target line and the shortcut switched to a cmd prompt icon and then came up with the same issue in screenshot 2 in my last post

Code: Select all

windows cannot find -batchmode

Im guessing the icon changed because i added the CMD at the begining of the target line
