- Make your Rust Server pay for itself.
Operating a RUST SERVER can get expensive. What if there was a way you could help yourself cover some of those costs.
This tutorial will teach you a way to generate revenue from your own Rust Server.
I can't wait to hear the ways you all are going to implement this into your servers. I'm very excited to hear about it.

Thank you Fisher. I appreciate that vote of confidence.
Thank you for the great videos I had to learn the hard way with no info available up to now. Your presentation skills is fantastic I am learning so much from you and its shows in my server. Well done.
That’s really great feedback. Thank you. I hope you continue to learn. I have so much more to teach.
@@srtbull I am considering an aim train area on my server using Zone Manager, Kits and Human NPC the idea would be for a player to select from a UI to spawn get kit and aim train almost like an event. Any recommendations.
If I ever meet you I’ll give you a big hug, thanks for your tutorial
I was gonna ask u to make this exact vid when I searched up ur channel. Always a step ahead ;) Thanks for the great vids!
Thank you. I’m happy to come through.
Amazing work. Thank you so much for the work you put into this. I hope to be as knowledgeable in these topics as you one day
In time you’ll know more than me 😀 stick with it.
Thank you for making this video, it is very helpful!
Perfect. Glad to hear it.
Rust Server Master! thanks for the awesome tutorial... :D
Thanks for watching.
in the command line my tebex store is taking purchases but not giving them on the server do i got the command line right i use inventory.giveid “SteamID” "supply.signal" “1”
Always watch your videos man love it!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support!!
Any time dude. I'm still having trouble with regards to the plugins VIPs and linking names. Set up Tebex and VIP plugins but it seems more complicated then I think.
It can get pretty complex. If you need help we can get in a Discord call and work through the bumps in the road.
@@srtbull sounds amazing dude. Appreciate the level of help and support your offering as a youtuber.
The best guides for Rust 💪
Thank you. I appreciate that.
thank you very much for this help. it took me a while to get it right but i got there in the end i really Appreciate what you have explained
That’s great. It’s a complicated subject. I felt it was important to try to get this on video.
@@srtbull yeah it sure is and exchanging many to different countrys is alot harder than it needs to be i just cant wait for cryptocurrency to start operating more so there are way less fees. I did find even with using tebex it did crash my server once yesterday. I went into console and it came up with an error talking to tebex and the whole server crashed. I hope this doesnt happen to often, or i might have to switch it off from like you mention at the end of the video
I have typed the secret key in chat. Tested /tebex:info, no errors. But it doesn't let me click to continue to the next step. And the upper right corner shows that the server is not connected, should i click skip or what should i do?
Oh man. They updated the plugin but.... The old one was Tebex.cs and the new is TebexPlugin.cs. Removing the old one and installing the new gives an error that "Tebex" is missing. Having both installed gives errors.
just wondering how you would sell a supply signal i have it all in the store but when someone buys the drop they dont receive it in game
Some of the players on my server keep getting an error in rustadmin: An error occurred whilst retrieving a checkout URL: The 'package_id' parameter must be provided.
Even my tiny server makes just enough from Tebex to pay for itself.
That’s so great to hear.
@@srtbull the biggest surprise was setting things to "pay what you want" with a minimum amount. Like, a $1 minimum for a perk. So many people pay more just to help.
That’s great. That means you have a great community behind you.
Thanks for making such useful videos! :)
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching‼️
Is there any video for setting queue and skip vip? :))
download bypassque by orange and make commands for you vip packages!
i couldnt find anything on this but i figured it out
Amazingly explained, very helpful
That’s great. Thanks for watching. I’m happy to help
Hi, the tutorial looks good and helps me a lot already. But at 16:54 u show us some commands. But how does it work if we want to give the player a permission from a plugin? So if he decided to buy a extra benefit, how do we add that?
it's actually really sad, i have a minecraft server and am very interested in also starting a rust server
and i've probably learned from tebex from you then any minecraft tebex tutorial
Lol well that’s good. That means I’m doing good at my job. Welcome to the madness.
I'm curious, how would I send skinned items? If I wanted to have a burlap pirate outfit as part of the package, how would I do that?
The easiest way would be to add those items to a kit. Then use tebex to grant access to that kit. The harder but better way would be to use tebex to grant access to your burlap outfit as an autokit. Then the player doesn’t have to do anything. They’ll just wake up in that burlap pirate suit.
@@srtbull Cool, thanks
👍
"no big deal" that reminded me to trailer park boys. Thanks for the tutorials man, im planing to open my own rust server and i have been watching your videos to have an idea before i set it up. Thanks for your help!
That’s awesome. Happy to have helped you decide to start a server.
Make sure your in the discord too. Lots of help to be had there
I have a problem it removes the package right away + i cant find option to set it for 30 days duration
Is there a way we can change it for when the user clicks buy it brings them to the page instead of a message response?
Not really. The best you would be able to do is utilize your “view webpage” option to take them directly to your store.
so im not sure what to enter in the command section for the plugins. for example lets say i was to add furnace splitter or deathnotes to a package, what would i put in the box? tia
Have you watched my videos in these topics? I have videos on all that stuff.
@@srtbull Yes i think so. i have made separate group and have added plugins into them individually. so is the only thing i have to do is ' chat user add {id} vip ' for them to be in the entire group? and then that would essentially give them all the plugins that ive put into group? or do i have to go through them individually xD
I created the manual purchase, used my STEAMID64 and the plugin called int he main chat but VIP was not placed in front of the name? Am I missing a plugin that works alongside this that manages VIP groups and default users?
Im using Steamline to host my rust server and there is no config file for tebex what do I do?? When I put the secret code nothing happens..
This would indicate to me that TebexDonate isn't actually installed on your server. Is this possible?
hey so if in my packages i was offering resources would i type the command for that resource plus the ammount?
I would build a kit with all the resources you want to provide, then grant access to the entire kit. Or use tebex to allow access to it.
@@srtbull thanks boss, I’ve never hosted a server before and decided to give it a try. Your content has been helping me immensely. Another thing I’ve been having issues with is in regards to rustcord. My rust chat is in sync with my discord but I can’t figure out how to get my discord chat to appear in rust. Any idea how I fix this?
This is a permissions issue, being allowed to use commands in discord to server. The documentation goes over this better than I can explain it.
Good video but how do you add items to VIP packages?
how do you change the /buy command which this plugin overwrites the vehicle license plugin to something like /buyvip.
how would you change the ingame GUI for /buy its just bog standared
You would have to get into gui creation and go in and change the actual plugin coding.
Tbh not many people use /buy if you advertise a website, they’ll just use that instead.
I’m actual fact, I didn’t even know about /buy when i first started using tebex.
What command should I use to sell points ? Using the economics plugin from umod .
Hey not sure if you still reply to comments on this video but I've got 2 questions
1. Do you need another plugin for the vip rank to show up in chat next to your name? I did everything what you did, but when I tested it out it pops up in chat saying I bought the vip package but when I type in chat it doesn't show the vip
2. How would I set it up so it'll automatically unlock a kit to the buyer once they bought the package for it?
1. Yes I most certainly respond to comments. Whenever I can.
2. You’ll use BetterChat to show titles next to player names.
ua-cam.com/video/QOPYbjFNY5o/v-deo.html
3. Tebex will completely automate the process for you.
ua-cam.com/video/jV3pqIrdjj4/v-deo.html
I think I just shared the same video that you’re commenting on. So I recognize this 😀😅
Hey, @srtbull Do you know why default groups' "buy" button does nothing? Gives website URL for admin but isn't clickable for anybody else. Help would be much-appreciated sir!
Be sure to make sure you’ve granted the permission to the group default.
@@srtbull I do not see any said permission on the plugin website. Would it be something like tebexbuy.use?
@@mikey904 Have you figured this issue out? Starting to look for alternatives for in-game purchasing ngl
Do we need betterchat plugin for the VIP to appear in name cant tell if it is working
Yes better chat will show tags like that
@@srtbull thanks man
Fo sho
@@srtbull do you have a way i can personally dm you?
Is it normal to have to sign into steam thru the store page to make purchases go directly to your Ark profile from the Tebex web store. Currently wanting to support a server but I’m hesitant on how it works. Please reply
hey im trying to paste my secret key into the console but everytime i do it comes up with this error "You have not yet set your store's secret key in the configuration file!"
You need to add it to the TebexDonate.cfg then run the command in the console to validate it.
So you’re grabbing the key that is generated from the website, including the command at the beginning, right? Then pasting that into your servers console or rcon of some type, right?
@@iloveskibidiLOL can you tell me how?
Yes yes. What was the problem and the fix?
@@iloveskibidiLOL Same worked for me, thanks
is there a way for the items purchased to be given to the players who purchase automatically? Instead of me having to give them the item via command
Oof. Yes. Tebex is fully automated, my friend. You don’t want to have to manually do anything. You’ll need to sleep sometime. You can’t man the console 24/7
Idk if anyone will see this but when I do /tebex:info it says i dont have permission to use this command
Why wouldn’t anyone see this?
If you have authlevel 2, try /tebex.info instead of /tebex:info
i love you
How can i add up-gradable packages such as you purchase package A for 10 dollars and package B is 30 u only have to spend 20 dollars for package B
Tebex has all of those options built into their packages. You can make it so the player is required to buy package A before they can buy package B, etc. They have a very well built system in place. TONS of options. Tons of different ways of selling packages.
srtbull I used that option, wasn’t sure if was working but I now know it is since I have had a couple people buy packages. Thank you!
Great tutorial. I would like to give some blueprints with the package. What happens if server bp wipes? Will it run the commands again or?
It will regrant whatever blueprints you allow in your config.
@@srtbull oke thanks, now I just have to wait until someone actually wants to play on my server, haha :D
hey i just set everything up but when people try to access my website through rust it comes up with this in the console [Tebex Donate] An error occurred whilst retrieving a checkout URL: Unable to find a profile with that username
(Filename: ./Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)
any clue what i'm doing wrong? Also thanks for the great vids!
Tbh I would submit a support ticket with Tebex on this. I’ve seen this response on mine as well and then it’ll go away and everything is fine.
Their support team has a actually quite responsive.
srtbull Ok thanks I’ll give that a try
@@srtbull I keep getting the same issue and their response team hasnt answered in 3 1/2 weeks. I emailed twice lol
hey srtbull, when i do this my VIP rank shows up in game in lower case how do i make it so it is uppercase?
I could use some help Bull. Under package I added command "inventory.give item.shortname 1" create the payment and nothing happens, I get my chat notification but no new item in inventory. I tried "inventory.giveall item.shortname 1" and that actually worked. Not sure what I'm missing but id love to get individual purchases going. Any ideas?
Figured it out, in case anyone else was having trouble: inventory.giveto {username} item.shortname 1
Thanks for reporting back.
@@XenoHosting item id or how ? Having same problem,
For some reason people on my server doesnt get a link in the chat when they do /buy . How do i fix this problem? It just says “[Tebex Donate] An error occurred whilst retrieving a checkout URL: Unable to find a profile with that username”, but it works for me?
if you had 4 rust servers could you have it so if they get say gold vip its valid in all 4 servers?
Of course. Tebex can handle as many operations as you’d like.
@@srtbull thx buddy, love your vids and the help in response to questions in the comments on your vids. Fantastic assistance to the community
What is the command to sell an item like an singal flare?
As an owner of a server when I do manual payments it doesn't move the package i purchased to my inventory slot any idea why?
I can only assume the command wasn’t setup correctly. Can you manually give yourself the kit? Can you confirm the syntax you’ve used in the command line?
@@srtbull I actually had a donator for my server help me test it out, but I found out on my end that I need to manually give each person that purchases a kit the roles so they access it. Can they not get those perms automatically upon purchase if so how would someone do that?
Oh for sure they can. You want this process automated. Ain’t nobody got time to manually do that 😀. Setup a VIP group. Then build your kits. Then add a permission to each kit that you want vips to have access to. Then only grant that permission to the VIP group.
I actually have a video on this topic exactly. Search for vip kits on my channel.
So, when they buy the kit, how would they get it ingame?
If the package is setup correctly it will execute the commands at the bottom of the page and it will send the kit to the player.
@@srtbull thx I just did the same commands you did
what server hosting do you use for your servers
Always www.icedhost.com
Use promo code SRTBULL at check out to save some $$$
I have a good 100mb up/down connection and a spare i5 pc, been thinking to set up a server on it just to try.
Hell yeah. Try it. It’s super fun
Great video thanks :)
You’re welcome.
right buddy ive finally got it setup nicely now, but how ever i just turned off the debug options so the checks to not flood my chat, but the payment are not going through now like before, in tebex the payment status says DUE, ive resent the commands and they still say due, i might just have to keep them as true do you think?
is this safe to use for a vanilla community server? i only want to add queue skip
As long as you aren’t providing items to players in game as a result of a transaction performed in your tebex store.
@@srtbull only item I'll be providing is a simple queue skip, I see you can add text in game when a players buys VIP or it expires, this option will turn the server modded right? This is not a problem per say as I can just not add the messages when someone buys, thanks for your help bull
No I don’t think those changes would make you have to be on modded. Those changes should be okay on community list. Even messages in chat.
Of course don’t take my word for it. Obviously, if you’re worried about it, make contact with Facepunch to confirm.
@@srtbull thank u ever so much bull, I might just try it as getting a response from facepunch is a nightmare, If server does get pushed to modded, I suppose I can just remove
Absolutely. Great plan.
What if the command is to give a player an item but the player isn’t logged on? Does it know if the command failed?
That is a valid question. I’ve never tried giving an item to someone that is offline.
srtbull I figured it out, the setting cog next to your command line has settings for offline/online
...if they are better or not, also concerning to costs and so on
For, the hardware requirements... just to run a server. Compared to the requirements to play the game, is there a difference? Could a smaller computer handle loading the infrastructure of the game, so that a system with a better graphic processor can play on it thru the open network and once loaded stay running without needing much more then a 1X or 2X 48kBPS connection?
I’ve seen servers run on potatoes. Running the game requires way more resources than the server does.
Agreed
@Irish Bucket List Book why does the new call of duty game take up 300GB? :'(
😜 Lol I have no idea.
This is something I never considered before but all in all you are right, running one or more than one server can get expensive so why not? :-) And again, you made an excellently clear tutorial! I start to study how you make your video because I am planning to make some tutorials myself (on a different subject)! ;-) I wish you a wonderful and satisfying 2020!
That’s great to hear.
I have some links in all my video descriptions that will direct you to the different places that I pull inspiration from. Wishing you the best in 2020.
i get all the website side of this and i have connected made logo etc, but how do you make it give out stuff like enabling all the slots in the packpack and allowing them to use Vault doors etc? most of these otipons were not on tebex site anymore, i never seen options for editing what it says in chat when someone buys it
At the bottom of each one of your packages, you have empty command lines. You’ll use these command lines to to grant specific permission or add the player to a specific group.
@@srtbull you legend mate, you just helped me make $35 aud on my very first day.
Wow. That’s great to hear. Happy to help. Keep it going.
@@srtbull that just paid my servers hosting fee. My wife is gonna be happy I watch your videos lol
Lol well the more my reach, the better 😀
Hosting a Rust server for free is gold. Hosting a Rust server for a profit, even better. Think how much your wife will love that 😀 Keep up the good work.
could you please do a video on this but how to add in-game items like guns skins materials ? it would be a great help for me
also is there away to give like permeant weapons or not ?
when i post the special key into the console nothing happens?
Are you using the entire command line or just using the key by itself?
srtbull I figured it out. For some reason it wouldn’t load so I put it manually into the CFg files
Hello! Loving the tutorials and really helpful but I keep getting this horrible red message spamming my console, ""SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh." do you know how to fix!? Thanks
That usually caused by an npc trying to follow a nav mesh that it can’t access. Is this persistent or just at random times?
@@srtbull Every other second
Any idea why I cant bind keys?
What issue are you having? Or what method are you using to bind keys? I use key bindings all the time.
I put in the secret code and it doesn't do anything an the next link does not work
Check things over carefully. This works. I just set up another client yesterday using this system. Works every time.
Hey srtbull, thx for the thorough turtorial. This should work for paid servers aswell right? I use scalacube for my host but i cant get i to work. I have uploaded the plugin to the server but the console doesnt give me any output when i type the secret key. Do you any explanation for this, should i edit something in the plugin before uploading it to my server oxide plugin folder?
There is nothing preventing this from working on a hosted server. I use this on my own hosted server.
I subbed. but is this still valid today? like the process? if not can you make another video?
The basics are still valid. The tebex website has gone through a lot of changes since this was recorded. But it will still tell you what you need to know to get yours setup and working.
@@srtbull Understood thank you for the help!!!!
thank you
tebbex vs CraftingStore, whats better?
My opinion; Tebex, hands down
can i put this on a website of my own? or does it have to run thru tebex
one thing mate, when u setup a new acc can u use a different email to the one your going to add for paypal?
Yes. The email used to setup your tebex doesn’t have to be the same as your PayPal email address.
@@srtbull thank you
Of course, you’re welcome!
I promise this is the last thing mate :( I've setup everything now, getting the text in console saying tebex is attempting to log all stored connections, then it says successfuly logged but my manual payments I'm doing on tebex to see if the package goes through to the server is not working, any ideas on this, this is the last step then I'm setup
It may take up to 60 seconds for the process to go through. Are you seeing anything in console indicating that it’s tying to send commands?
What are the commands exactly, that you’re trying to process?
Can you copy and paste the commands you’ve set up at the bottom of your package?
how do you populate your server?
Thanks Bull! U R Awesome. What I want my VIP to do is allow someone to skip que, if the server is full. This is common, but I haven’t connected the dots. Is there a plug-in that reserves some slots only for VIP? Then u use a command to give that slot up? Do u have a video that explains that process? Thanks!
I think I found the answer umod.org/plugins/bypass-queue
Ultimate Que, might be even better. I will ask in your discord
Thanks for this video, is this work for community server bcoz I’m running vanilla server and I don’t use oxide?
You can still have oxide running on your server and still be considered vanilla/community. But yes, you will need oxide for tebex to operate.
Do you know of a method that I can use a different payment gateway I already have developed instead of this one?
There is a plethora of payment gateways available with tebex. I’m not sure about adding another one. I haven’t looked into that.
@@srtbull So basically I have the payment processing side completed, what I am looking for is a way to use maybe a webhook to automatically add the player's permissions so I don't have to manually do that.
Hey srt, how do I connect 2 servers to the same webstore?
Super easy. You can go through the same process you did for the first server; install plugin, let website generate a secret key, put key into server command prompt and away you go. I have one tebex store that has 5 servers on it.
hello does it still work?
Absolutely
step 1: get a server full of people.
Good luck with that.
promote your server to tiktok
Looked at your description to your video what is your patreon account name I am new to rust and making custom maps for my own server and could use some help
My Patreon is patreon.com/srtbull
How do i/player claim the buys?
When setup correctly, the process is entirely automated. You don’t need to claim the purchase ingame
Can you make a video on how to make donations work with discord please
Like if someone buys a vip package, you want them to be displayed in discord as a donator?
Can you make it on Xbox?
do you know how to change the in game pictures of the vip kits after doing /buy and clicking vip tab ?
In the /buy command, that’s all controlled by the website.
does tebex host servers?
Negative. But they do ‘host’ your tebex store.
@@srtbull thx
@@srtbull thx
omg .... what server do you have capable of 500 fps ...:O
Hey bull, do we need a compagnie on our own to setup a business paypal account ? They ask for the name of compagnie... Thanks
Mathieu Olmstead Resendes I would just suggest using your server name for now. If your project turns into something bigger, just imagine if you had to start an actual business just to take care of all the money your server generates. That would be a great day :)
What is your server called?
I operate The Primal Rust Group. You can check the servers at www.primalrust.com
FYI your link to the Tebex plugin is 404.
Thank you. I will correct this
Corrected.
Hello loving the videos and finding them very helpfull is they away after setting up buying ranks for exaple vip is they away to make it so that persons name when they talk in the server chat to make there name show up a different colour to what the defsult colour is?
Absolutely. In this video I go over how to do that with BetterChat
ua-cam.com/video/QOPYbjFNY5o/v-deo.html
Can you make Discord, Twitter, twitch and UA-cam verification? Nice videos!
Like how do you mean? So that only subs and followers can get into your server?
srtbull I mean that you can give kits or items to players who “follow” or “link” their accounts automatically.
Finanzamt macht Auge
Ja, es gibt für jeden auf der Welt unterschiedliche Regeln.
I does no do that for me
Can you clarify what you mean by this?
How many servers could a system with... a windows 7 index grading of 7.3-8.9 in all categories, continuously/simultaneously run? #-Rust vs #-Minecraft
I can’t make a comparison to MC. But I have ran 8 servers on one rig. Ram usage is huge but the more players you get on the server, it actually comes down to bandwidth more than equipment
@@srtbull as long as the latency is low and once there finished loading lots of games will run at 2X-3Xdial up speeds.
Bro would You do it with me together?
Lol, do what with you? I'm hoping you're just asking me to help set up Tebex with you :)
How would i make it so when people purchase vip it lets them skip the que on rust
You would add a plugin called BypassQueue by Orange. Then only grant the permission to the VIP level that you want to actually be able to skip the queue. Easy peasy.
Pasta that
Lol right??
Unrelated question, do you know the entity path for Workbenchs?
this no longer works
