KF2ServerTool for Windows and KF2ServerToolCMD for Windows and Linux

I'm trying to host a killing floor 2 server for a lan party and the issue i'm having is that the server isn't listed on the lan tab (i can't see it on any other tab but that's due to the fact that i haven't port-forward the required ports), i can connect to it just fine through the console (open ) but it refuses to show up on the server.

Easy way to install the server and add/remove/update maps in your Killing Floor 2 Dedicated Server

What is this?

With this tool you can easily install and configure your Killing Floor 2 dedicated server. You can easily install or update maps and mods from workshop or a custom redirect, perform server maintenance (updates and verify server integrity), start the server with custom mutators and also have diferent profiles with different settings. All this without wasting time editing lines of config files.The tool is constantly updated and tested by several people who use it to host, the actual state is fully functional and stable.

How easy is that?

To install the server and configure?

Just download the app and open it, the tool will install the server and show a easy GUI to help you to configurate basic steps like maps, options, webadmin, etc.

And about install custom maps?

You will just browse the workshop inside the app or paste a URL of an workshop item and click on a button. The application will do everything for you (download the map, add the server subscription, add the map entry, add the map to the cycle of maps and add the server redirect if needed). For update an outdated workshop item just right click on the item and choose update.

The app includes some extra features too, like a server launcher, web admin configuration, workshop download manager configuration, access to webadmin inside the application, and some tools to clean the cache and workshop files. I spent good weeks developing this tool to make it as simple as possible for the end user.

KF2ServerToolCMD

GUI Version to Windows (KF2ServerTool):

Go to release and download the latest KF2ServerToolX.X.X.zip version.

CMD Version compiled to Windows (KF2ServerToolCMD)

Go to code/KF2ServerToolCMD.exe and download the file.

CMD Version compiled to Linux (KF2ServerToolCMD)

Go to code/KF2ServerToolCMD and download the file.

Use in an existing server

• Extract all files from the zip to the server folder (the same folder where you have a .bat to start the server).
• Use the KF2ServerTool.exe to add a map/mod by browsing the workshop or pasting an ID or URL of an item..

Use in a new server installation

• Extract all files in the same folder that the server will be installed
• Open KF2ServerTool.exe and choose the option to install a new server in the same path of the tool folder
• After download all the server, close the tool and open the server one time to create the config files.

Notes

• If you have never added the line for redirecting the clients to download from the workshop, check the 'Options' tab and turn on the Workshop Download Manager.

• Just put the KF2ServerToolCMD inside the server folder and launch it from terminal with -list, a new file called KF2ServerToolCMD.ini will be created. You can adit inside this file the paths of KFEngine and KFGame if you dont use the default.
• install steamcmd if you have not (see the install steamcmd section)
• Configure the KF2ServerToolCMD.ini to specify it (for linux is the steamcmd.sh and for windows is the steamcmd.exe).
• K2ServerToolCMD -help to see all avaliable commands

• For Linux: 'apt-get install steamcmd' or download it from here and extract for an folder (eg KF2Server/steamcmd/)
• For Windows: download it from here and put it in an folder (eg KF2Server/steamcmd/)

(very useful if you run multiple instances of servers in the same folder and have several different files for each server.)

• Use the param -config to specify a different configuration file.Example: KF2ServerTool -config KFServerTool_sv2.iniExample: KF2ServerToolCMD -config KFServerTool_sv2.ini

• The application will create a new config file and you should edit it to specify the custom paths of your configs (PCServer-Game, PCServer-Engine, etc) files

Killing Floor 2 Dedicated Server Not Showing Update

Username, Avatar and Signature Rules

• No offensive user names
• Avatars:
  Avatars are disabled.
• All signatures should not exceed the following size limits, you can have both text and images

• - For images in signatures: 1 image up to 400 pixels wide, 150 pixels tall and 100kb in size plus 2 lines normal size text and up to 100 chars per line

The following is a list of some things that MAY be considered 'offensive' by the moderators and the team. This is NOT an exclusive list and it does depend very much on context.
Crossing the line into 'offensive' territory is likely to get you asked to change your name, sig or avatar or to withdraw/delete posts. This will be done politely by the moderators. If you refuse to comply further action WILL be taken once started, ultimately leading to banning from the forums.
A key point: please attempt to use your brains. What is mild humour to you may well be deeply offensive to others. While we have no intention of acting as politically-correct 'thought police', we are on the lookout for those things that can cause offense and, in some cases, are actually still illegal in some jurisdictions.

Update Killing Floor 2 Server

1. Names recalling notorious war criminals or personalities.
2. Names recalling atrocities and war crimes in general, or units with particularly odious histories.
3. Use of obscenities and expletives.
4. Blatant racism, mysogynism or many other 'ism's.
5. Use of symbolism and regalia recalling Nazism or Fascism; this does not include pics of soldiers who happen to have such symbols on their uniform, unless we feel this has been done to provoke. Please note that many Nazi symbols (including the Swastika) are still illegal in Germany and other countries and considered deeply offensive by many Europeans.
6. Use of symbolism and regalia recalling Stalinism.
7. On both the previous two, the moderators' views on the intention and impact of use of such symbols will be final - not yours. Please be understanding if you are advised to change something.
8. In general, if a sig/avatar represents your allegiances in-game and is clearly 'in part', it is likely to be fine; if the moderators feel you are trying to demonstrate unpalatable political allegiances, or to use it in an attempt to ridicule or provoke others you WILL be asked to change it. RO is NOT the place to make any extremist political statements of any kind.

Examples:

Killing Floor 2 Dedicated Server Not Showing Up Windows 10

So people get the idea, some examples that would be considered offensive, numbered as above:

1. 'Hitler', 'Beria'
2. 'NKVD Blocking Detachment', 'Einsatzgruppen'
3. This one should be pretty obvious...
4. So should this - and it includes calling all Germans 'Nazis' and all Soviets/Russians 'Commies'. It got boring 50 years ago, so stop it.
5. Use of swastikas, fasces, SS-runes and so on for the Axis.
6. There is actually very little overt symbolism from the Stalinist era; the hammer-and-sickle isn't offensive per se.

A simple rule-of-thumb: many Europeans find Nazi symbolism of any sort offensive; many Americans still find Soviet symbolism offensive. Engage your brain before using.
