This article will show you how to edit basic settings in Killing Floor 2
 
 Step 1:
 
If your server is running, Stop your server from running first of all.
 
PCServer-KFGame.ini
 
The PCServer-KFGame.ini file can be found under \KFGame\Config\
 
You can access this file via the Configuration Files section in your Game Panel.
 
This file controls all the various game elements that can be configured by admins in Killing Floor2.
From game modes to spectating options and more, everything can be set up to the admins liking from this file.
First admins will want to configure this file to update the WebAdmin, server password and other settings that you do have access to.
 
Here is an example of a very simple PCServer-KFGame.ini settings admins will want to change first:

Server_Passwords

[Engine.AccessControl] in PCServer-KFGame.ini:
Option Name Valid Entries What this option controls
AdminPassword Alpha numeric character combinations. Example: Abd32Sdn53 This is the master server administrator password
GamePassword Alpha numeric character combinations. Example: cl4ng4m3 This sets a password players will need to enter to join the server


Server Name and Admin Contact

[Engine.GameReplicationInfo] in PCServer-KFGame.ini:
Option Name Valid Entries What this option controls
ServerName Alpha numeric character combinations. Example: Yoshi's House of 32 Compressed Pancakes This is the displayed server name to all players in the server and the server browser
AdminContact Alpha numeric character combinations. Example: testemail@testemail.com This is the displayed admin contact in the server browser

 

Server Maps

bUseMapList=True - This sets the server to use a custom map list you specify instead of the entire default map list.
GameLength=1 - This sets the number of rounds per game. 0 -> {short, 4 rounds}  1 -> {normal, 7 rounds}  2 -> {long, 10 rounds}

 

Maps can be set to run by gametype and amount of rounds played. The following is an example map list that can be put in your file.

Game Map Cycle
GameMapCycles=(Maps=("KF-BurningParis","KF-Bioticslab","KF-Outpost"))
