Mut: Per Server Stats

[Marco]

This mutator brings the perks stats tracking back the way it were in KF 2.5 in Unreal Tournament 2004: All player stats are being tracked by the server individually.

Download from here. (Version 6.01)
Download source code from here. (Version 6.00)

Note: You are not allowed to use this mutator for selling stats (for money) on your server. Also do not edit ServerPerks.u nor ServerPerksP.u without renaming them.

Upsides about this mutator:

• It allows server host to run any mutator/modification/map they ever want without having to whitelist them all.
• Server host can add/remove standard/custom perks (read tutorial from here).
• Clients can't cheat their stats in offline games then join the server with level 5 everything.
• Fixed some menu issues while at it.
• Added option for custom weapons on trader to add (this mutator does not work with the existing Custom shop mutator).
• Use custom skins (see how to create own from here).

And downsides of this mutator:

• Clients will don't have their stats following from server to server (anything they do in that server will stay within that server)!
• Achievements aren't earned.

How to use this mutator (eighter way):

• In mutators list, add "Server Veterancy Handler V5" to active mutators.
• Add to server startup commandline "?Mutator=ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut"

To add/remove perks, simply edit "ServerPerksV5.ini" and add/remove lines.

Server Perks Database (OPTIONAL)(Advanced users only!)

Download from here. (Version 1.55)
Download from here. Same version but without any windows at all (needs to be shut down from task manager).

Version history:
1.55:
- Fixed a stat loading bug from earlier versions.
- Modified it to convert Linux SteamID's into Windows SteamID.
1.30:
- Support long stat value string lines (REQUIRED since serverperks v5.00).
1.10:
- Optimized code a bit and added a new option.
1.00:
- Created.

This is an application I wrote in C++ which basically works as a remote database for your perks stats. In order to use this you need:
- A dedicated server machine that's on Windows OS.
- Setup a Port and Password in Host.ini:

[General]
Port=6000
Password="Pass"

- Do the same on ServerPerksV4.ini (including set IP-address or DNS name of the host):

[ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut]
RemotePort=6000
bUseRemoteDatabase=True
RemoteDatabaseURL=192.168.1.33
RemotePassword=Pass

- Make sure you allow the application to access internet through Firewall and/or Router (open the desired port).
- IF you have any earlier stats on server, copy over ServerPerksStat.ini to same folder as ServerPerksHost.exe and launch the exe as: ServerPerksHost.exe ServerPerksStat.ini
This way it will convert to the new stats ini file. After this is done delete all ServerPerksStat.ini you have.
- Now simply launch up KillingFloor server as-well as ServerPerksHost.exe.

I can make a seperate extension for perks that are exactly as retail ones. The code I based my perks on were pre-released version of KF.

It should work in solo and online, might be some specific settings or combinations of other mutators you're using?

[Maksimus]

Which I have found the list of defects in yours mutators:
1. Sometimes in game simply there is no choice percs though in ".ini" file the data arrive!;
2. On many times pressing "Esc" button or calling statistic window client crashing with error



3. Need To add operation of the new weapon though have checked up, like works;
4. Idea excellent especially for my server with 30 players!;
5. We wait the stable new version;
P.S. All files of mutator are necessary to the client? Or enough one loaded from server ServerPerks.u (with one it statistics works, percs shake)?

[Maksimus]

Why file ServerPerksStat.ini is in UTF-16 LE charset coding?

1: I don't really understand what you mean by that...
2: Good to know, I'll look up on that.
3: Huh?
And yes, only ServerPerks.u is needed by the clients.

Thats how UnrealEngine 2 outputs INI files, not my choise.

[Marco]

Ok it's fixed now, download link is in first post.
I did not rename the mod so it might be some people may get version missmatch if they still have the old version in their system folder.

Thanks you very much Marco

[Maksimus]

Thanks All WORK

[Maksimus]

very often the image disappearance of occupations, with subsequent inability to choose. solved rebooting the game, sometimes changing the map. I wish the problem and decided to introduce a system console commands to change. is straining the error
ps
console commands ask in case if you can not fix the problem .. Thanks in advance

[qwerty27]

Founded a couple of errors
1) when the door unweld any perks disappear choice and view the perks (and perks no longer play the game)
2) When using an automatic shotgun and causing great damage (eg a crowd) is same as in clause 1
Server 1.009
immediately apologize for the English (Net M interpreter)

In it that all problem. Why not to make config file for mutator in which the way to the general ServerPerksV2.ini would be registered?

Maybe I'm missing something. Do I need to add this to ServerPackages, or what? It's not..well, working.

EDIT: I check it on the server mutator options, restart the map, and then it gets unchecked. It simply won't stay activated. What gives?

[ffjason]

Have you added it to your server command line? I have found that to be the best way to run mutators.

[propker777]

Yep, whether I do it that way or in the webadmin it doesn't make a difference, it just isn't functioning and I can't see why.
