❌ Whitelisted?

No. This mod is not whitelisted and will de-rank your server. Any XP earned will not be saved.

But I hope that it will be whitelisted - I submitted whitelist request here: https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?threads/whitelisting-mods-and-mutators.120340/post-2353667

🖥️ Usage (server)

Note: If this is unclear, first read: Dedicated Server Guide (KF2 wiki) [olist] [*]Open PCServer-KFEngine.ini / LinuxServer-KFEngine.ini. [*]Find [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section and ensure line exists (add if missing):

DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload[/code]

[*]Add the following string to the [b][OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks][/b] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
[code]ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=2847465899

[*]Start server and wait for mutator download. [*]When the download is complete, stop the server. [*]Create a file: [code]<kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFCVC.ini[/code] with content:

Version=0

[*]Add mutator to server start parameters: [code]?Mutator=CVC.Mut[/code] and start the server. [*]Stop the server and configure the mutator (see ⚙️ Setup (KFCVC.ini) below). [*]Start the server. [/olist]
