Hello everyone!

After the 1064 update came out, you can change the specimens by changing the line "SpecialEventType=" line in the config file. However, I found it to be a bit annoying that I have to locate the config file, scroll down to the line, and change it (I'm lazy, ok... :D). Anyway, I made this little Java app that automatically changes the line in the config file for you.

How it works:
* Asks the user for the directory where the Killing Floor config file is
* Reads the entire .ini file to an ArrayList
* Searches for the line 'SpecialEventType='
* Replaces it with the user's choosing
* Rewrites the changed ArrayList to the .ini file

I included the executable JAR in the link (duh), along with the IntelliJ project (which includes the source code).

Note that:
(A) this is my first program that actually "works" and has a point to it
(B) I've only tested this on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with Java JDK 1.8.0_20. It theoretically supports WinXP, Vista, 7, 8, Mac OSX, and Ubuntu. I say "theoretically" because any program I make ends up to be a dismal, buggy-as-crap failure :eek:

Let me know if there's any questions or ideas!

Enjoy!

I have Java SE Runtime Environment 8 Update 25 and it works like a charm. Using it now, thanks a bunch! :)
Only request I have: Could you make it so it saves the location of the killingfloor.ini and does not ask every time I run it? Or even better, have it save the location but ask wether that location should be used again when you run it.
