Plugin error explainer

What it explains

Paste anything your server printed when a plugin failed: compile errors (error CS0246, CS1061, CS0103), runtime exceptions (NullReferenceException in a hook), or the "Failed to call hook" lines Oxide logs. You get the cause in plain English and, when the fix is in code, the lines to change.

Reading an Oxide compile error

KillRewards.cs(42,13): error CS1061: ... tells you three things:

1. The file: KillRewards.cs in your plugins folder.
2. The position: line 42, column 13.
3. The compiler code: CS1061 means a method or property does not exist on that type, often because a Rust update renamed it.

Errors after a Rust update
