Killing Floor Mod Site

[Sandcrawler]

Hello, I just came by to let you all know I have started a Killing Floor Modification Informational site. You can find it here

I currently have three Mapping tutorials, covering the basics up to Setting up the Trader, and Zombie Spawn. There will be more, covering skyboxes, terrain, volumes and zones, and movers at least probably more. You can find the tutorials on the Mapping Page.

I also have a download center for the files in progress. I haven't had time to finish testing it, but it should be finished by Monday.

Very nicely done And already a great deal of tutorials up that surely will help a newbie mapper like myself ^^

Good job!

 

[Sgt Jigglebelly]

awesome stuff here, thanx for these info sources bro - definitely will come in handy

 

[Sandcrawler]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it.

I added a fouth tutorial today, covering Path Nodes, Volumes, and Zones. Along with a few changes to the other tutorials.

If you see any places that I left important details out just let me know. I sometimes mean to type about something, and then get sidetracked and forget about it.

I updated the second tutorial today to include a guide on pickups, it seems like you need a Ammo pickup for the map to work right.

I also have two servers up now.




The first one is set to private, if anybody want to test a map, or a mod let me know. You'll need to send me the files, but otherwise that what its there for. The second server is for rotating custom maps, I have sherwood up on there now, and I'm going to see about adding some more. The server does redirect download toa compressed file so it should be a very fast download.

The downloads section on the website is now up and working, I still have a few kinks to work out, but I won't know about them until its used more. You can find that here.

Great Site.

The Ads are hurting my eyes! Feels like a bloat vomited on me!

Just looked around the SDK and realized that this game is a UT 2.5 engine mod, so it looks like I'll be doing some custom map making. I did a lot of map making in Unreal Ed 2.0 so I'm pretty familiar with how 2.5 Ed works.

When I get around to doing some designs and working on them, I'll be sure to post them at your site.

And by the way... those ads are pretty bad, but I understand the need to fund your hosting.

Ads, where? If you run your browser without an adblocker you almost deserve the ads

Great site

Looks more like a google ad website, better remove all this if wana get it popular.
Ads usually come once the website is popular.

Could you please put your tutorials as well at http://wiki.kfmods.com[url]http://wiki.kfmods.com[/URL]

For new maps (soon) & mutators (already) visit [url]http://kfmods.com[/URL]

 

[razerpro]

where do you get all those textures from? my editor has hardley any of those. Is this the SDK for killing floor?

sorry i didnt reolise that was the star wars section

 

[Sandcrawler]

The download section is now up, and updated. here.

I also updated the Path Node tutorial to include a way to test if your Path Nodes are connecting or not. And a little bit of information on the KFZombieVolume, which blocks players but allows zombies to pass through it.*

To reply to some of the post:
Sonic, that is a great idea, I'm going to try and get a solid group togeather that can do at least one map a week. I'm not sure if I will be able to get some people togeather though.


As for the ads, they stay. But you do have two options, you can donate a dollar to the website, and I'll shut your ads off for three months. Or you can run an Ad Blocker like bemushroomed mentioned.*

gotta love the pc community - and thank god for people like sandcrawler and the like, for getting all of this together for us

thanks man, love the site, will help me out bunches when I get to makin' a map of my own

 

[Sandcrawler]

I added two more Tutorials since the last update to this post. The 5th tutorial is on Textures, Static Meshes, and Skyboxes.*

The 6th tutorial that was just added today is on Movers, Triggers, and Usuable Doors.*

Yesterday I also added over 15 maps to the downloads section. That brings us up to 31 files, to many for me to keep up to date. So if you guys can register and update your own maps it would be a great help.*

 

[Sandcrawler]

The seventh tutorial on lighting is up.

We also have two community created tutorials.
Adding Default Music
Adding Particle Emitters

I recently changed the look of the very frontpage, as well as the fronpage of the Killing Floor Mod site.

 

[arramus]

Thanks,

It's looking very comprehensive for mappers who are new to the Unreal Editor and the more intermediate/advanced tuts will help to add that something extra.

 

[strum87]

Thanks for this Sandcrawler.

I always wanted to do some game / map editing, never had the foggiest idea how to go about starting, but then found out bout the SDK. Was beginning to think I'd never get to do it, but with some youtube tutorials (based on UnrealEd) and a handful of websites and forums (including this one), I've jumped straight into making 2 maps (which I'm progressing with surprisingly well).

My biggest concern is taking time to get everything "perfect" first try - I don't particularly want to create yet another noobie fail map.

What's the deal with if I send you my map and there is still possible bugs? I could do with a hand to learn how to test everything - and I presume you don't want 'unpolished' maps on your server? I expect to finish my smaller map within around a week from now, pretty excited about this!

 

[Sandcrawler]

Sorry strum, I didn't see your reply. If you make a post on the forums I'll try and take a look at your map, and give you some feedback on the editor part of it anyways. As a mapper I don't really play the game as much as some.

I don't have a new tutorial this time around, just wanted to make everyone aware of the style changes. We have a new layout that has alot more information on it. We have also made some more changes to the Downloads Section. We have a Review system all in place now and you should see some map reviews soon.

 

[Extreme_One]

Nice work on the new theme.
I much prefer it to the old layout.
