Killing Floor Server Admin Info - markg - 03-02-2010

Killing Floor uses the unreal engine, a different engine than all the other games im used to working with, and therefore, just this one game forces me to learn a new series of admin tools. Unfortunate, because all the other games, including tf2, l4d, l4d2, garry's mod, etc. all use the source engine, and the same tools, including admin.

In addition, to add another source game all i need to do is install a couple plugins; then the advertisements and admin functions are automatic. For Killing Floor every server instance has to be managed separately, as there are no tools i am aware of that allow the simultaneous management of multiple servers like there are for source.

In any event, im trying an experiment with the normal server (we currentlly have beginner/normal/hard) and will set a standard username/password combo that can be used for reserving the slot. Let me know if you want to try it, but dont bitch if it doesnt do what you want unless you plan on studying up on the tools and telling me exactly what to change AND how to do it.

The one good thing about the unreal engine is that the tools are web based. But being web based they aren't real handy to use from in game.

Advertisements fixed. they all now pull from one file.

Now just the admin function...

Hi,

I've had the pleasure to play in your server last week-end. Nice servers you have there.

I was wondering what plugins (and where to get them) you use to have the "advertisements" display in the chat?

I'm talking about the text that appears every X seconds/minutes (ie: Welcome to NBSclan.net Server) or something similar to that.

thanks,

The_Dogg

i use rss feeds, and to tell you the truth, it was the biggest pain in the ass to get working, so i wouldnt recommend it. i never did get everything i wanted working; there are LOTS of bugs in the unreal engine add ons (and since its so old no one supports it any more)


RE: Killing Floor Server Admin Info - The_Dogg - 06-07-2010

thanks for the info, I did a bit more research and I found that there is 2 ways to do it, RSS and another plugin called ServerAdsSE

I will try both and see what fits best for my needs.

thanks
