Unturned: RocketMod

RocketMod .NET Game Server Plugin Framework for Unturned the Online Game. The Legally Distinct Missile aka LDM is the latest version of RocketMod.

OpenMod is an alternative or replacement for RocketMod, however, it is less used and furthermore can be run along with RocketMod.

RocketMod used to be a popular modding framework for Unturned, but has disbanded and the project was discontinued in late 2019.

The Legally Distinct Missile (or LDM) is a fork of Rocket for Unturned maintained by the game developers (SDG) after the resignation of its original community team. Using this fork is recommended because it preserves compatibility, and has fixes for important legacy Rocket issues like multithreading exceptions and teleportation exploits. Nelson, the creator of Unturned, has forked RocketMod 4 and continues to keep up combability to Unturned 3. The core mod is now part of the game distribution.

Installation

The necessary modules must be installed. The original Rocket Mod is an abandoned project. A fork is maintained by the game developers so that functionality can be maintained.
The dedicated server includes the latest version, so an external download is not necessary.

1. Install "Legally Distinct Missile (RocketMod 4) - Fork of Rocket for Unturned maintained by the game developers"
2. Install the necessary RocketMod Libraries
3. Install the RocketMod 4 Plugin: RocketTools.dll

RCON

Remote Console connection is made with a simple telnet client. You can use the 'telnet' command on linux or software for Windows such as Putty or CRT. RCON must be enabled on your Unturned server. Navigate to the configuration file and set the service to 'true' then restart the server.

1. Edit Rocket.config.xml ( Servers/server/Rocket/Rocket.config.xml )
2. Change <RCON Enabled="false" Port="0" Password="" to <RCON Enabled="true" Port="25444" Password="yourpassword"
3. Save and restart the server

Example Rocket.config.xml

Groups and Permissions

By default Rocket installs with (3) player levels, or groups. Each has access to certain commands and abilities. Default groups are "default" and "vip". Those two are defined in Rocket/Permissions.config.xml and the third level is the admin level which has no group entry. To define what commands and abilities are available to a group you must edit Permissions.config.xml. For example, if we want regular non-privileged players to be able to use the /ammo /i /v and /heal commands, some of which are from other mods, we must add entries to make Rocket/Permissions.config.xml contain:

  <DefaultGroup>default</DefaultGroup>
  <Groups>
    <Group>
      <Id>default</Id>
      <DisplayName>Guest</DisplayName>
      <Prefix>Player</Prefix>
      <Suffix />
      <Color>white</Color>
      <Members />
      <Priority>100</Priority>
      <Permissions>
        <Permission Cooldown="0">p</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="5">ammo</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="5">i</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="5">v</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="60">heal</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="0">essentials.command.kits</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="0">essentials.command.kit</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="90">essentials.kit.fuel</Permission>
        <Permission Cooldown="90">essentials.kit.starter</Permission>
      </Permissions>
    </Group>

When a normal player connects to the server, his name will be displayed with the word "player" appended to the front because of line 6 (Prefix). If you don't want that, change that line to:

      <Prefix />

The commands like v to spawn a vehicle and i to spawn an item are now available to regular players in the default player group, the group everyone starts out in.

For some reason if the command is part of the uEssentials mod then it has to be formatted with "essentials." prefixed to the command in this configuration even though the command is one word, such as with the kits command. Two word commands like /kit fuel and /kit starter work the same way, as part of uEssentials they require prefixed to their entry in this config file the "essentials." It is not like that with most plugins, but with some it is. Try it without first and if that doesn't work then whatever plugin the command is coming from must have specific requirements for the formatting.

If you modified kit or command permissions in Permissions.config.xml and want to refresh them without stopping and restarting the sever, as admin simply type:

/p reload

Additional Modules: RocketMod 4 Plugins

In the permissions.config file, (In the server > rocket) you'll need to add player-accessable commands. Here's some common ones: Home, tpa, tpa.accept, tpa.deny, kit.kitname

All of the modules are not covered here, only some of the current modules commonly used. Plugins need to be compiled in order to be used. Some may not support the latest versions of Rocket or Unturned. If you are using a game hosting provider then odds are that they will provide many of these already compiled.

• AdvancedSpawnProtection.dll - Period of invulnerability for player in seconds after spawn or respawn, protection against spawn killing.

configure by editing /Servers/server/Rocket/Plugins/AdvancedSpawnProtection/AdvancedSpawnProtection.configuration.xml

• ChatControl.dll - Banlist and Mute, based on word recognition.

configure by editing /Servers/server/Rocket/Plugins/ChatControl/ChatControl.configuration.xml

• ChatGod.dll - control over chat, similar to ChatControl.dll so you probably won't need them both. This one has more configuration options.
