Current info on how to set up

Dears,

this has probably been asked a million times, but I'm really struggling with the setup of this plugin. Trouble begins with the seed I want to use after the wipe. In previous tickets it was said "do no populate the seed and task entries in the json, use the seeds array in the bottom instead".

Alright. Looking at my json, there is no "seeds" array anywhere. Instead the part which used to be for the seeds is now called "maps". If I insert my next seed there, it is getting ignored and the wiper sets some random seed. The only success I got so far was by shutting down the server and then populating the "seed" entry with the seed I want to have. Upon reboot a map with the correct seed is getting generated, and I'm good for the wipe.

However, when the next wipe comes I enter my new seed into the json "seed" line on top, and run the "wipe" command. When the server restarts, the wiper replaced my manually set seed with something else, only heaven knows where it came from. Hence shut down the server, replace the seed and start it up again.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. The wiper itself seems to work perfectly fine, and I love it so far. Would it be possible to put out a one-pager which explains configuration? It could be part of the (paid) download.

Thanks for a great plugin!

Could you please ping me on discord ? @kasvoton

Hi kasvoton, when I try to "ping" you Discord keeps telling me I can't send a message to you, because you only accept messages from friends.

Give me your discord id by PM, I'll add you.

deleted - I solved it, see below

Just one question remains:
For the "Files" and "Blacklist" sections, is it possible to use wildcards or exclude entire directories from deletion?

Example Blacklist lines:

• "oxide/data/RaidableBases/" to exclude that entire folder plus subfolders from deletion
• "oxide/data/copypaste/*.json" to exclude my copied structured from deletion

Hi kasvoton,

I think I worked out how to configure. My mistake was that I set the "Seed" line to "null" before wipe, and gave the plugin only 1 seed in the "Maps" array. I managed to successfully wipe my server by leaving the current seed on top of the json config file, and added my new seed alongside the current seed into the "Maps" array. Upon wipe the wiper plugin successfully chose the new (correct) seed. I think that solved it for me, and this ticket can be closed.

Thanks again!
