Code Mut: workshop downloader for dedicated servers

[King Sumo]

The mutator will download the subscribed Workshop items of the dedicated server administrator steam account.
To start the download first Login as administrator then enter in console:

adminlogin youradminpasswordhere
mutate update

(the download process is shown in the dedicated server log/console)

If bShowProgress is enabled (see .ini file) then the progress is shown also at the player console. Notice to make this I'm using a custom PlayerController so this option is not compatible with Marco's ServerPerks and other mutators. Better disable ALL mutators.

To test this mutator better start using a fresh dedicated server, then add only the Mutator KFWorkshopDownloader.KFWorkshopDownloader. Leave the killingfloor.ini as is (setup only the administrator password).

Dedicated server log example:

Thanks! It's very usefull for downloading maps, but the on the other hand you still beed to compress and you need to know wich files

 

[EpharGy]

Hmm, maybe a version that dumps the files into the correct directory structure or a single directory would be good, would give server admins a bit more control to then compress etc.

 

[King Sumo]

I guess we have a tool floating around in the foruns which does this.

Notice it is impossible to know which files are being downloaded, this mutator only triggers the Workshop download at server side.

Does this still work? When enabled my server just hangs.

 

[King Sumo]

Yes, it works but both KillingFloor admin and the Dedicated Server must be on the same host.

Notice TWI have removed the download logs. The download progress is not shown in the dedicated server console anymore!
If you want to see the download progress then set bShowProgress=true. BUT this option is using a custom PlayerController and this is not compatible with mutators such MutServerPerks/ScrnBalanceSrv...

But even enabling bShowProgress some logs are missing and is not possible to see if the download progress is complete.

PS. This mutator just triggers the workshop download at server's side (no magic here, this is a single line sourcecode). The download is done by KF/Steam - sometimes the download suddenly stops, in this case run "mutate update" again (and again...).
