Solved Server Kicks All Players During Backup

Hi Dana,

I've had a couple of issues with this since trying it out. When I first used it, it was kicking all players from the server. It said there was a packet loss, it did this on several occasions until I unloaded the plugin. I thought I'd give it another go but am still experiencing issues although no packet loss kicks this time (not using the Discord feature now – so believe that was the cause)

I’m a bit confused why it won’t backup bans, server, serverauto and users without the following;

"cfg",
"cfg/bans.cfg",
"cfg/server.cfg",
"cfg/serverauto.cfg",
"cfg/users.cfg",
"bans.cfg",
"server.cfg",
"serverauto.cfg",
"users.cfg",

Surely I only need either cfg/filename or filename.cfg ? It seems like a lot just to save 4 files? Without all that, it doesn't save those 4 files.

I also have backup oxide set to true but it only saves an empty oxide folder. It says in console that its skipping files. Do I need to specify each individual file for it to save?

JSON:

When whitelist mode is enabled, you need to specify which paths to back up. This means adding directories like plugins and config to Files To Backup list

This should be fixed in the next update, thanks for the report!

By the way, keep in mind that you can't backup individual files like cfg/server.cfg or cfg/bans.cfg. You need to add the whole cfg folder instead (The next update should correctly include all files inside it.)

I think you might be right about that. Discord has an attachment size limit, usually 8MB, so it's likely failing to send the file because it's too large, which ends up hanging the server. I'll add a file size check before sending to Discord to prevent this from happening

Thanks again for the heads-up! :)

This plugin uses Oxide's permission system. Grant or revoke permissions using oxide.grant and oxide.revoke. You can assign them to individual players or groups using their Steam id or group name.
Chat commands start with a /, while console commands can be entered directly in the F1 console or server console. Use find <keyword> in console to search for available commands related to the plugin.
Settings are stored in the config file found under the config/ directory. You can edit this file manually, then reload the plugin to apply your changes.
Persistent data is saved in the data/ directory. This includes things like saved settings, usage stats, or player progress depending on the plugin. Deleting a data file will reset stored progress or customizations.
Language files are located in the lang/ folder. To translate messages, copy the en.json file into your target language folder (e.g. fr, de) and edit the values. Reload the plugin after changes to apply new messages.
This section lists public methods exposed by the plugin for use in other plugins. You can call these via the CallHook method. Make sure the plugin is loaded before calling its API to avoid null reference errors.
These are custom hooks that other plugins can listen for. Simply define a method with the same name and expected parameters in your plugin to handle the event. Hooks are triggered at key moments and are useful for extending or reacting to plugin behavior.
These hooks are injected into the game's code using Harmony. They let the plugin run code at key points in the game's internal logic. You can return values to block or modify behavior. Use with caution — these are powerful and can affect core mechanics.
