Controlled Difficulty - Tiger's Build V.2

Controlled Difficulty - Tiger's Build V.2 Last Updated: July 5th, 2018 Last Tested: v1068

Important

This Version of CD is mostly to fill the void of Tiger's CD build since it is no longer on the workshop.

This is simply a recompile and reupload of Tiger's CD Build. It will eventually turn into something that I intend to maintain and add to as I learn more about what I'm doing. That being said, I doubt I'll be able to respond to any suggestions or answer questions adequately enough. I jumped into this with zero experience and am learning as I go. Feel free to make suggestions or critiques and I'll do my best to see what I can do, just be aware that I may not ever be able to fulfill that wish as both my time and knowledge is limited.

This reupload was made with permission of Tiger as it was his desire to remove his workshop items from KF2 due to the direction TWI is going with the game, he and many others have decided it isn't worth the time and energy to keep these mods up to date.

This is a branch of Blackout's original Controlled Difficulty which can be found below: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=738484519

Details of this version are listed below (This is a copy/paste from Tiger's original description). My changes will always be at the top of the additional features:

Summary

This custom build takes everything you know and love about Blackout's Controlled Difficulty and adds some additional features, perhaps the most notable of which is the ready system and autopause which allows players to ready up eliminating the need to have someone on server with CDAUTH_WRITE permissions to pause and unpause between waves. This should also help eliminate or reduce erroneous unpauses that can cause wipes. Once every non-spectator is readied up the ready system will automatically unpause the trader and resume the countdown. In the event of something forgotten- If there are more than 5 seconds remaining on the countdown (or if you're playing in solo mode) players can un-ready in order pause the countdown again.

Combined with the ability to set TraderTime in your config (I recommend a low number, like 8 or 12 seconds) this should also make unmanaged pausing/unpausing available to public CD servers while also making it easier for managed CD groups.

• Added a feature that unobtrusively dumps stats for all players at the end of a match to the chatlog so that it can readily be parsed by tools like MagickedAdmin into Key:Value pairs.[/list]
• It should be noted that if someone who is not readied up leaves for whatever reason (Network disconnect, they were kicked, client crash, etc) and everyone left is readied up- the trader will not automatically unpause- this is an intended feature meant to safe-guard against unexpected problems that may arise. If that player isn't coming back you can trigger the ready-check again simply by having one player unready then ready back up.
