1. According to both the UE2 and UE3 documentation ActorX is only designed to be an interchange format between an external DCC apps and the game engine, this was later supplanted by the FBX pipeline later in UE3’s development cycle and has remained largely the same to this day.I can’t find any credible evidence that would suggest that UE3 would be able to ingest UE2 ActorX files.The only real option that I’ve found is to dump all the packages you need with Umodel then bulk impot into 3DS Max, you can then bulk export to FBX with a script like one of these:https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/batch-exportimporthttps://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/batch-exporter-1https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/...saveexport-objfbx3dsmax-as-objfbx3dsmax-filesAs for maintaining material assignments I am unaware of any method that allows for that, however when you export a mesh with UModel you will see it generates a text file alongside with the same name as the asset.This text file will contain the material reference which should make it a simple task to re-apply the correct textures from KF1For example:
   Materials[1] =
   {
   Materials[0] =
   {
   Material = Texture'Military.locker_6door'
   EnableCollision = true
   }
   }
   If you are looking to port an entire map from UE2 to UE3 you can leverage Unreal Engine’s text-based scene description format (.t3d) which is a way to export all actors in a given level to a human readable text file.Just keep in mind that the file will need to be reparsed with a tool like UT Converter as there are differences with how UE2 and UE3 handle T3D files.https://github.com/xtremexp/UT4X-ConverterI’ve glossed over a Metric Butt-ton of details that would quickly turn this into a wall o’ text that would make a university theses look light in comparison, but hopefully this helps point you in the general direction.

You will quickly discover it is irrelevant what platform you use. KF2 dedicated servers are not stable. Especially if you add mutators.

Here is a generic Windows Powershell script to monitor and restart KF2 instances. The $Processlist variable needs to be updated to have all of your server details. The hardcoded wait time and number of players can also be adjusted as required.

Code:

Function New-TitleObject(){
    #Create a object for holding server titles and player count
    $LDefaultObject = New-Object -TypeName psobject
    $LDefaultObject | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name Title                     -value "NOTSET"
    $LDefaultObject | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name PlayerCount               -value "NOTSET"
    return $LDefaultObject
}
Function Write-LogHost(){
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
    $LMessage
)
    write-host "$(get-date -UFormat "%d%m%y %H%M") $($LMessage)"
    "$(get-date -UFormat "%d%m%y %H%M") $LMessage" | Out-File -Append -FilePath c:\bin\log.txt
}

#windows only
#Gets the currently running KF2 windows titles which has the count of players in the game. Returns array of users and titles
Function Get-WindowTitalsAndPlayers(){
    $WindowTitles = Get-Process |where {$_.mainWindowTItle} | where { $_.name -eq "KFServer" } | select mainwindowtitle
    $WindowTitalsAndPlayers=@()
    foreach ($WindowTitle in $WindowTitles){
        $TempTitle=New-TitleObject
        $TempTitle.Title=$WindowTitle.MainWindowTitle -replace ":.*",''
        $TempTitle.PlayerCount=$WindowTitle.MainWindowTitle -replace ".*?\(",'' -replace " players.*",''
        $WindowTitalsAndPlayers+=$TempTitle
    }
    $WindowTitalsAndPlayers=$WindowTitalsAndPlayers  | sort title
    return $WindowTitalsAndPlayers
}


#Server name,Binary location,commandline parameters
#Server name is the name of the server in the config file. This will appear in the title of the window.
#Binary location is the location of the kf2 Binary
#commandline parameters are the parameters you wish to pass to the kf2 binary.
$Processlist=@(
@("BAz | HOE | RANKED | Endless | Server1","C:\KF2Server\Binaries\Win64\KFServer.exe"," KF-HorzineArena-B1-v5?Mutator=xxxx?Game=KFGameContent.KFGameInfo_VersusSurvival?Difficulty=3?AllowSeasonalSkins=0?ConfigSubDir=yyyyyy -QueryPort=xxxxx -Port=xxxx -WebAdminPort=xxxx"),

    $GWindowTitalsAndPlayers=Get-WindowTitalsAndPlayers

    Get-WindowTitalsAndPlayers | % { $PlayerCount+=$_.playercount }  
    if($GWindowTitalsAndPlayers.count -lt $Processlist.count ){

Sadly none of our LD's have an answer handy, but we've reached out to some other members of the modding/ld community to see if someone does.

I can say in the many years I had servers on Linux, it is very stable with default maps and custom maps.
When you add mods and other mutators I guess things can happen.
