Server Important Server Config Settings

[Killing]

Yes thats how UE works inital config files are generated from the default.ini + exe overrides / updates if the main config doesn't exist.

If it exists its updated as needed, which often cause issues so its wise to prevent this by setting:
[ROFirstRun]
ROFirstRun=9999

I'm having an interesting issue.
When I alter my KilllingFloor.ini file, only a few things took place. i.e. The passwords worked, and a few other things. But what did not work was the GameDifficulty=2.00000. Since that is the default, I wanted to set the server to beginner. I changed it to GameDifficulty=1.0000 and when loaded to my server (ArtofWar servers) it showed it was 1.000. However, when I start the server it reverts back to 2.000. The other changes stuck but that one didn't.

I rolled back all the other changes and made it just the change in difficulty. Still goes back to 2.0000 instead of staying on 1.0000. I can only assume that there is a difficulty override somewhere that I can't find that is changing it back.

Help?

That will be the ROFirstRun option not being send and perminantely "upgrading" the config so changing those setting to the new defaults, see above for fix.

Aha, I knew this sounded familiar (from HLDS).

For those who don't read HLDS, John (CEO from Tripwire) did comment on this. Just make sure to read and understand before you change this setting!

One final thing though, please please please do NOT do this:

[ROFirstRun]
ROFirstRun=9999

That will definitely cause problems in the future as that setting is
used by the engine not only to update ini settings but also do some
other things behind the scene in the engine when versions change.
Messing with that number will almost certainly cause with a server at
some point when we update in the future.

KFGameLength Set in the KillingFloor.ini or in Webadmin
Sets the length of the game (how many waves the players fight through).

What about commandline? Is there a parameter for setting it?

Hi.

I looked in my KillingFloor.ini and did not see a GameDifficulty command. You sure that's what it's called? Or does it have to be added?
