A complete rewrite of the popular, original Oxide API and Lua plugin framework. Previously only available for the legacy Rust game, uMod now supports numerous games. uMod's focus is on modularity and extensibility. The core is highly abstracted and loosely coupled, and could be used to mod any game that uses the .NET Framework.
Support for each game and plugin language is added via extensions. When loading, uMod scans the binary folder for DLL extensions with the format uMod.*.dll.
- uMod.MySql - Allows plugins to access a MySQL database
- uMod.SQLite - Allows plugins to access a SQLite database
- uMod.Unity - Provides support for Unity powered games
- uMod.Rust - Provides support for the new Rust server

Download a Git client such as GitHub Desktop or SourceTree.

Clone the repo
https://github.com/theumod/umod.Rust.git(recommended) or download and extract the latest zip archive. -
Download and install Visual Studio 2017 (community is free, but any edition will work) if you do not have it installed already.
-
Update or install PowerShell 5.x (if it isn't already) for use with the game file downloading and patching process.
-
Open the
uMod.slnsolution file in Visual Studio 2017. -
Build the solution. If you get errors, you're likely not using the latest Visual Studio 2017; which is required as uMod uses some C# 6.0 features.
-
Copy the files from the
Bundlesdirectory for your game of choice to your server installation, then just start the server!
7a. Alternately, create a .deploy file in the project's root directory with a path to automatically deploy to.
