Due to the recent update for Killing Floor 2 Dedicated Server, installing Workshop items via the ini file is no longer working. However, you’ll still be able to install custom workshop maps by uploading .kfm file into KFGame/BrewedPC/Maps directory manually. You can use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload multiple files to the server or use the Game Panel File Manager.
How to use the Game Panel FTP?
Get custom map to show in Web Admin
To get custom maps to show up in the change level section of web admin, admins will need to add a data store for the game in PCServer-KFGame.ini. A data store looks like the following example:
[KF-Default KFMapSummary]
MapName=KF-Default
ScreenshotPathName=UI_MapPreview_TEX.UI_MapPreview_Placeholder
If the file you have uploaded is KF-Corridor.kfm, it should look like this:
[KF-Corridor KFMapSummary]
MapName=KF-Corridor
ScreenshotPathName=UI_MapPreview_TEX.UI_MapPreview_Placeholder
Make sure the server is not running while editing the PCServer-KFGame.ini file.
Known issue to avoid:
- Hosting too many maps
A server should not have more than 519 maps in rotation or it will cause the server to break.
