They talk more about how to do add a custom map here: https://wiki.killingfloor2.com/index.ph ... or_Servers

Basically, you add a section like this to your Config/PCServer-KFEngine.ini file, replacing the numbers with what you want to use in the workshop:

Code: Select all

[OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks]
ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=605633924
ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=605551918
ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=605549089
ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=605532351
Then, you need to find the [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section in the same file and add a line for DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload before the other DownloadManagers lines.

After the server is restarted and the files have downloaded to it, you should see files in the KFGame\Cache\xxxxx\0\BrewedPC folder of your server, as viewed through the server's FTP. You will see the file for the map there, allowing you to find its exact name.

You can use that map name in your custom cycle. If you also want it to show up in the web admin, you can edit PCServer-KFGame.ini and add a "data store" section for the map like this:

Code: Select all

[KF-Default KFMapSummary]
MapName=KF-Default
ScreenshotPathName=UI_MapPreview_TEX.UI_MapPreview_Placeholder
.. replacing the KF-Default entries with the exact name of your map.

To set up custom maps for your Killing Floor 2 server, first you need to download the maps you want to install. Then, copy the map files to the appropriate folder on the server. In most cases, it will be the "Maps" folder in the main game directory. After copying the files, restart the server, and the new maps should be available to choose from.

Pozdrawiam, Mateusz 😊
