Default Dedicated Linux Server Help - NO KillingFloor.ini

Hello my fellow Killing Floor Gamers,

i'm interessted in setting up a Dedicated Killing Floor Linux Server for me and my friends.
The Windows Server Tutorial is talking about a "KillingFloor.ini" for editing the parameters.

My problem is, that there is NO KillingFloor.ini in the "/system" folder on my Linux Server.

Can you help me in setting up the server? I think that there will be some other users with the same problem.

Greetz, old

Have you tried running the server?

I believe the server will make a KillingFloor.ini from the default.ini once the server has started.

Edit: I found out where the linux file of killingfloor.ini is !

it's in your home directory.

~/.killingfloor/System/KillingFloor.ini

I actually wrote a small tutorial on how to setup the dedicated server.. Its currently waiting for moderator to check it.. By the time (about 30min ago) I was writing the tutorial I was also wondering where the killingfloor.ini is located, thank you for your help on this issue.

Tagert: Do you mind if I reference your post in the tutorial?

add -nohomedir in the startup command that will force the creation of an ini file.

This worked fine. Now i have got a "KillingFloor.ini" in my "/system/" folder but now there is a new problem. When i start the server he applys my settings, but he's starting the "KF-Menu.rom" map. Now i join the server but the only thing i get is a "grey" screen/map with an undertitle "A neew player entered the game".. what else..

Is there any possibility do change this map to e.g. KF-Offices.rom? I tried to rename the KF-Menu.rom but then the server aborted and shut down.

This worked fine, but now my server loads the "KF-Menu.rom" map. When i connect i just see a grey screen/map and not the normal KF-Lobby.

When i open my shell-console followings error-messages are shown in loop modus :

SceneManager KF-Menu.SceneManager0 (Function Engine.SceneManager.SceneStarted:015A) Accessed None 'myHUD'
SceneManager KF-Menu.SceneManager0 (Function Engine.SceneManager.SceneEnded:008D) Accessed None 'myHUD'

Any idea what that is? Greetz, old

Edit:
Fixed mine now. Reinstalled everything and deleted the killingfloor.ini file and started all over again

Show me your server startup command plz. right after ucc server you should have the map you want it to start on.
As well check that thread of mine with that preset ini file.

Ok, i fixed my problem ^^.
The KillingFloor.ini is located under following directory:

"/root/.killingfloor/System/KillingFloor.ini"

This thread helped my out: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.co...ad.php?t=30911

Its really important to EDIT this ini file, so that you can start and configure your server (over the WebInterface) correctly.

I started the server with following parameter:

./ucc-bin server KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=fa lse?MaxPlayers=6
