Automating Oxide Downloads to TCA.Mods Folder

[fjamieson]

I am trying to automate downloading the latest Oxide-Rust.zip file to my RUST/TCA.Mods folder. Because the posted link continuously changes now, and the thread notifications are unreliable, I end up with unhappy users.

 

I have a Powershell script that is called from a Windows batch file, using the Windows Task scheduler, but would rather this be under the control of TCAdmin.

 

My question is can I paste the following script into a TCA scheduled task

~~~~

getoxide.bat

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File oxide.ps1

~~~~

oxide.ps1

$json = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri

"https://api.github.com/repos/OxideMod/Oxide.Rust/releases/latest"

$url = $json.tag_name

$url =

"https://github.com/OxideMod/Oxide.Rust/releases/download/$url/Oxide.Rust.zip"

echo $url

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, "Oxide-Rust.zip")

~~~~

 

Or is there a better way to achieve this update process?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and comments.
