rust-oxide-umod

Purpose

Simplify the install and backup of a Steam Rust dedicated gaming server that hosts plugins.
Speed up/bypass the uMod site flood protection and add 3rd party/local plugin mirror.

State

Current install seems to be working, but uMod is an issue...like always.
This is an attempt at randomly pressing keys and trying to get something to work

Warning None of these files are finished or properly working so don't expect anything to work at all

Notes

This if for Windows Powershell/Command line.
This repo is so I can work on multiple machines without copying files back and forth.
Some plugins authors update code without versioning so that is why I started to mirror plugins.
Many of the plugins are outdated or not working but they were all released to the public.
uMod has changed quite a bit since I first wrote this, and not for the better.
I don't play that much, not sure if I will keep going with this because it is such a PITA.
This may sit for years without updates and only be updated when I want to look at new game updates.
