Server Extension

📋 Description:

This mod replaces current perk system in Killing Floor 2 with a serverside perk progression with RPG elements, which let you buy individual stats and traits.

This is a further development of the ServerExt mutator from Marco and Forrest Mark X.

🎮 Usage (single player)

[olist] [*]Subscribe to this mutator. [*]Create a file (*): [code]C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFServerExtMut.ini[/code] with content:

SettingsInit=0

[*]Create a file (*): [code]C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFxMapVote.ini[/code] with content:

[ServerExtMut.xVotingHandler]
ConfigVersion=0

[*]Create a file (*): [code]C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFServerExt.ini[/code] with content: KFServerExt.ini (default) [*]Launch KF2. [*]Open console (~) and start any map with the mutator (this will generate the contents of the configs):

open KF-BioticsLab?Mutator=ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut[/code]
[*]Close the game and configure the mutator (see [b]⚙️ Setup[/b] link below).
[*]Launch KF2 again, open the console, and start the game:
[code]KF-BioticsLab?Game=KFGameContent.KFGameInfo_Survival?Difficulty=3?GameLength=2?Mutator=ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut

(replace the map and set/add parameters you need). [/olist]

🖥️ 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]
(If there are several [b]DownloadManagers[/b] then the line above should be the first)
[*]Add the following string to the [b][OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks][/b] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
[code]ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=2085786712

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

[ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut]
SettingsInit=0

[*]Create a file (*): [code]<kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFxMapVote.ini[/code] with content:

[ServerExtMut.xVotingHandler]
ConfigVersion=0

[*]Create a file (*): [code]<kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFServerExt.ini[/code] with content: KFServerExt.ini (default) [*]Add mutator to server start parameters: [code]?Mutator=ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut[/code] and start the server (this will generate the contents of the configs). [*]Stop the server and configure the mutator (see ⚙️ Setup link below). [*]Start the server. [/olist]

🐞 (*) Buggy config initialization

This mutator (like many others) relies on UnrealScript's default values (0 for int type) to detect first-time use and generate a config. However, the game contains a bug that initializes unset values to random data, which can lead to incorrect settings or missing configs.

As a workaround, I recommend explicitly setting version variables in the configs during the first initialization.

Unfortunately, I can't fix this issue because it's a game engine problem (not the mutator's fault).

🤐 If not working or you have no text

Older versions of ServerExt have the same file names - this can cause conflicts if you subscribe to them. Therefore: [olist] [*]Check your subscriptions. If you are subscribed to other versions of the mutator, cancel them. [*]Clear the cache, it's here: Client:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Cache\[/code]
[b]Server:[/b]
[code]<KF2_DIR>/Binaries/Win64/steamapps/workshop/content/232090/
<KF2_DIR>/KFGame/Cache/

[*]Delete all ServerExt localization files. It's here (client only):

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Localization\[/code]
Check all folders and delete all ServerExt.* files you find.
[*]Try starting the game/server again.
