About SimplePVE

SimplePVE is exactly what the name suggests: a simple and easy-to-use PVE plugin for Rust servers. It allows server owners to control and customize PVE rules individually, either through the config or with a clean in-game CUI. You can also create, edit, and manage PVE/PVP schedules directly, making it easy to run full PVE servers, purge events, or hybrid PVE/PVP setups.

FAQ

Question: Does SimplePVE require server.pve to be set to false?
Yes, it requires server.pve set to false.
Question: Where can I change the rules for my PVE server?
You can use the `/sprules` command to open the in-game CUI rule manager. You must have the `simplepve.admin` permission assigned to use this command.
Question: PVE/PVP schedules times are not working properly, why is that happening?
You may need to adjust the `UTC Time Difference` value in the config. Make sure the UTC offset matches your server’s intended timezone. For more details, please check the Info tab below.
Question: How do I enable or disable PVE manually?
You can use `/simplepve on` to enable PVE and `/simplepve off` to disable it. You need the `simplepve.admin` permission to use these commands.
Question: Can I create automatic PVP purge schedules?
Yes. SimplePVE supports scheduled PVP/PVE times, allowing you to automatically enable PVP during purge events and return to PVE when the schedule ends.
Question: Can I do Weekly schedules like Sunday To Friday or specific date to another date?
Yes. SimplePVE supports both option and you can only use one of them at once.
Question: Can admins damage players or entities while PVE is enabled?
Yes, but only if the admin damage settings and permissions allow it. The permission `simplepve.admindamage` is used for admin damage access.
Question: Why is damage still happening during PVE mode?
This usually means one of your rules allows that damage type, or another plugin is modifying damage before or after SimplePVE. Use `/spdebug` to help debug which rule is being applied.
Question: What does `/spdebug` do?
The `/spdebug` command helps you debug damage rules. It can be useful when you are trying to understand why damage is blocked or allowed.
Question: How does loot protection work?
Loot protection prevents players from looting protected entities or containers, depending on your config settings. Admins can be allowed to bypass this using the `simplepve.adminloot` permission.
Question: Can I exclude specific entities from loot protection?
Yes. You can add entity shortnames to the `Loot Protection Excluded Entitys` list in the config.
Question: Does SimplePVE support zones?
Yes. SimplePVE supports Zone Manager, allowing you to create different PVE/PVP behavior inside specific zones.
Question: Can I exclude specific zones from SimplePVE rules?
Yes. You can add zone IDs to the `Exclude Zone IDs From Rules` config option.
Question: Can SimplePVE send Discord notifications?
Yes. SimplePVE can send Discord embed messages when PVP purge starts, ends, or when a scheduled event is approaching, depending on your Discord config settings.
Question: Can I run server commands when PVP purge starts or ends?
Yes. You can add commands to the config options for commands that run when PVP purge starts or ends.

Schedules Settings for your own timezone

Quote
Schedules Setting - Found in the config
UTC Time Difference: 360 (You will need to change this for your UTC time difference.)
Example: if my timezone is United Kingdom (GMT+1) then UTC Time Difference will be 60 * 1 = 60 )
Another Example: if Your Timezone is United States -4 Hour Behind from utc then UTC Time Difference will be 60*-4 = -240

Example Config
"Schedules Setting": {
    "UTC Time Difference": 360,
    "PVP On Notify Message": "<#990000>PVP enabled on the server. Now you can raid others bases and fight!</color>",
    "PVE On Notify Message": "<#008000>PVE enabled. Raid and fight is now prohibited!</color>"
  }

For Developers

These hooks allow other plugins to override SimplePVE’s default rule checks.  
  Returning `true` or `false` will force the result and skip the normal SimplePVE evaluation.  
  Returning `null` will allow SimplePVE to continue checking its normal rules.

  Allows or blocks damage before SimplePVE runs its normal damage checks.
  return true;  // Allow damage
  return false; // Block damage
  return null;  // Let SimplePVE handle it normally

- CanEntityTakeDamage(BaseCombatEntity entity, HitInfo hitinfo): Returning true/false will allow/disallow damage

- CanEntityBeTargeted(BasePlayer player, BaseEntity entity): Returning true/false will allow/disallow targeting 
  
- CanEntityTrapTrigger(BaseTrap trap, BasePlayer player): Returning true/false will allow/disallow the trap trigger event
