DCON's Rusty Updater

A Simple Windows tool for updating rust servers with support for uMod and remote dependency support.

What does it actually do?

It downloads and updates your rust dedicated server and downloads uMod and any other dependencies then installs them to paths that you define in a simple and easy to use config.

Getting Started

Installation

Download the latest build and install it to a directory (preferably within your servers parent folder)

Configuration

In the configuration file config.js you'll find a straight forward list of properties to edit.

1. Set the Path property to the directory of your server instaliation directory
2. Set the SteamCMD property to the install directory for SteamCMD

Example

{
    // This is the path to your server
    Path:"D:/Projects/DCONsRustyWorld/Servers/Main",

    // Path to SteamCMD
    SteamCMD:"D:/Projects/DCONsRustyWorld/SteamCMD",
}

Dependencies can be any valid remote resource, it will be downloaded and moved to a path you specify.

Example

{
  Dependencies:[
    {
      Enabled:true, // if this dependency is being used
      Name:"uMod", // display name in the console
      Type:"zip", // type of file
      FileName:"", // custom name for the saved file
      DownloadURL:"https://umod.org/games/rust/download", // location of dependency
      UnpackPath:"{Path}", // location we will download / unpack the file
    }
  ]
}

In the above example the UnpackPath property has a special keyword called {Path} this is a reference to the Path property.

Usage

To update the server, just run the DCONsRustyUpdater.exe and if you did everything correctly, the server will update and dependencies will install as expected.
