Server Extension

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.

1. Subscribe to this mutator.
   
2. Create a file (*):
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFServerExtMut.ini
   with content:
   
   [ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut] SettingsInit=0
3. Create a file (*):
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFxMapVote.ini
   with content:
   
   [ServerExtMut.xVotingHandler] ConfigVersion=0
4. Create a file (*):
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFServerExt.ini
   with content: KFServerExt.ini (default)[gist.githubusercontent.com]
   
5. Launch KF2.
   
6. Open console (~) and start any map with the mutator (this will generate the contents of the configs):
   
   open KF-BioticsLab?Mutator=ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut
7. Close the game and configure the mutator (see ⚙️ Setup link below).
   
8. Launch KF2 again, open the console, and start the game:
   
   KF-BioticsLab?Game=KFGameContent.KFGameInfo_Survival?Difficulty=3?GameLength=2?Mutator=ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut
   (replace the map and set/add parameters you need).

Note: If this is unclear, first read: Dedicated Server Guide (KF2 wiki)[wiki.killingfloor2.com]

1. Open PCServer-KFEngine.ini / LinuxServer-KFEngine.ini.
   
2. Find [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section and ensure line exists (add if missing):
   
   DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload
   (If there are several DownloadManagers then the line above should be the first)
   
3. Add the following string to the [OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
   
   ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=2085786712
4. Start server and wait for mutator download.
   
5. When the download is complete, stop the server.
   
6. Create a file (*):
   <kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFServerExtMut.ini
   with content:
   
   [ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut] SettingsInit=0
7. Create a file (*):
   <kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFxMapVote.ini
   with content:
   
   [ServerExtMut.xVotingHandler] ConfigVersion=0
8. Create a file (*):
   <kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFServerExt.ini
   with content: KFServerExt.ini (default)[gist.githubusercontent.com]
   
9. Add mutator to server start parameters:
   ?Mutator=ServerExtMut.ServerExtMut
   and start the server (this will generate the contents of the configs).
   
10. Stop the server and configure the mutator (see ⚙️ Setup link below).
    
11. Start the server.

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).

• ⚙️ Setup
• 🌟 Examples
• 🌍 Localization

Older versions of ServerExt have the same file names - this can cause conflicts if you subscribe to them. Therefore:

1. Check your subscriptions. If you are subscribed to other versions of the mutator, cancel them.
   
2. Clear the cache, it's here:
   Client:
   
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Cache\
   Server:
   
   <KF2_DIR>/Binaries/Win64/steamapps/workshop/content/232090/ <KF2_DIR>/KFGame/Cache/
3. Delete all ServerExt localization files. It's here (client only):
   
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Localization\
   Check all folders and delete all ServerExt.* files you find.
   
4. Try starting the game/server again.

✔️ The mutator works with the current version of the game (v1150) and I have implemented everything I planned.
⛔️ Development has stopped: I no longer have the time or motivation to maintain this mod. No further updates or bug fixes are planned.
