KF2 Imaginary Friends

This mutator currently does not work, use this custom gametype instead: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=738484519

###### WHAT IS IT? KF2 Imaginary Friends is a Mutator for Killing Floor 2 that will artificially increase the number of players in a game (single or multi) so that you can play with the zed spawns / health of a higher number of players than you actually have. If it works and you enjoy it, please rate it! If something is broken, please leave a comment.

###### HOW DOES IT WORK? KF2IF will additively include the specified number (in the .ini) of virtual players to the current party up to a maximum of 5, party total of 6. Example: If you have 2 people in a game and the mod configured to add another 2, your party size will be 4. If another person joins, the total will be adjusted to 5. If at any time the number of human players plus virtual players exceeds 6, the mod will only add as many virtual players as needed to reach the maximum of 6. If 6 human players are present, no virtual players will be added.

If you always want a full party, just set the “friends” in the .ini to 5. All game attributes that are modified with more players present should also be modified using this mod. I do not have a way to verify this, but after play testing I am pretty sure this is the case.

###### DOES THIS WORK IN SINGLE PLAYER? I am happy to say that yes, it does! Please see the instructions below on how to get it running.

###### DO VIRTUAL PLAYERS TAKE SERVER SLOTS? Yes, they do. However, I have updated the mod to only take up additional server slots at two times: once the ready button is pushed in the lobby, and about the last ~10 seconds of the trader time, depending on the game difficulty. This way the slots will be open for people to join the vast majority of the time.

###### IS THIS MOD WHITELISTED? No, it isn’t. This means Perk progress is disabled while the mod is active. You will accrue xp in game, but it does not update with TWI's server's. I have applied for whitelisting once but have not heard back from TWI. To my knowledge only 1 or two mods have been whitelisted as of yet; I am going to re-apply after I am sure this update works for everyone.

###### SERVER INSTRUCTIONS (RECOMMENDED) 1. Subscribe your server to this mod 2. Add ‘KF2ImaginaryFriends.KF2ImaginaryFriends’ to your ‘Server Actors’ 3. Restart Server 4. Configure ‘KF_KF2ImaginaryFriends.ini’ located in <KF2 Server Folder>\KFGame\Config 5. Restart server, or change maps. 6. Kill some zeds!

###### SINGLE INSTRUCTIONS 1. Subscribe to this mod 2. Restart Killing Floor if running 3. Press tilde (~) 4. In the console, type: open <map-name>?mutator=KF2ImaginaryFriends.KF2ImaginaryFriends?Difficulty=<0-3>?GameLength=<0-2> 5. Example (Biotics Lab, Normal, 7 Rounds): open kf-bioticslab?mutator=KF2ImaginaryFriends.KF2ImaginaryFriends?Difficulty=0?GameLength=1 6. Configure ‘KF_KF2ImaginaryFriends.ini’ located in <Documents>\my games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config 7. If the .ini is not there, download this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/418103/KF_KF2ImaginaryFriends.zip and place it there manually. 8. Restart game 9. Open another map the same way 10. Kill some zeds!

###### MY .INI IS MISSING! Are you sure? You need to load a map with the mutator enabled to generate the .ini. Then, double-check these locations: Server: <KF2 Server Folder>\KFGame\Config Single: <Documents>\my games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config

If ‘KF_KF2ImaginaryFriends.ini’ is not there, you can download it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/418103/KF_KF2ImaginaryFriends.zip
