Custom Rust Pterodactyl Egg 1.0.6

ZIp is invalid it states after download

Don't use windows to open the zip file. Use a program such as winRar or 7Zip to open it. I'm able to open it no problem.

Just a general curiosity what the point of blocking the ability for the user to change maxplayers is when they could just change this via the convar in game or via RCON?

So, while the user can absolutely change the value using RCON commands, once the server restarts then the user would have to change that command again. Ideally, you should have the infrastructure to detect these changes and warn the customer that changing the value and bypassing the value set by you is a violation of your ToS. Yes, they can do this and work around it, however you as a hosting provider should be cognitively aware of the work arounds of pterodactyl eggs, and modify your support team structure accordingly to prevent and monitor such bypasses. The pterodactyl egg can only do so much. I've put in a request with parker to change some of these things, and its been sitting for almost a year. So theres ways around it yes, but in the end you're the hosting provider and you should be monitoring these issues yourself.

Edit: One way you can detect these changes is to query the BattleMetrics API and check if the server max players is equal to the max players set by you. You can do this using a python bot and some discord webhooks to output if a server max player doesn't match up with what you provided. But this is beyond the scope of this file/product. So thats not something I have included in this.

One question with this egg is it possible to switch between main - staging branch and aux02?

1. Why wouldn't it, maps are not influenced by pterodactyl Egg?
2. If you used Pterodactyl you would know that you can add custom ARGs.

My suggestion is look into Pterodactyl first if you don't currently use it. This EGG requires the Base pterodactyl system to be operational.

Hi,

I can't for the life of me get the server header image to display. I have googled everything known to man on the subject.

• I made sure the image is 512x256 (even tried 1024x512, which apparently is the image size that can be used with Rust now), and that it was a direct link.
• I made sure the image was in .jpg or .png format.
• I've tried different hosting image providers, such as Imgur, Dropbox (making sure to change dl=0 to dl=1), and my own image hosting server.
• I've restarted my Rust server hundreds of times with each test change.

Is there anything I am missing? Any helpful suggestions?

Thx

Make sure that your serverauto.cfg or your server.cfg file doesn't have the server.headerimage inside that file or it will override anything that the egg does.

It's a shame that this egg is no longer supported, I only bought it about 2 months ago and now it's been discontinued.
 I assume there is no money-back guarantee?  xD
