How does the server RAM usage compare with this mod to a standard server?

I want to set up a 16 slot server running this, I love WPC mods but i remember your Dead Space server being notorious for the lag every time someone connects. I've been killed by it more than a few times. :p

WPC gave Killing Floor the best early Christmas present ever.

Edit: also will kill messages work with this?

sad face for me

sad face for me

for some reason, this mod does not currently work for me :(. I have numerous issues. I must have done something wrong but it looks right. Main prob I have is the CTD when trying to load map. The CTD error reads:

Code: 
General protection fault!

History: AActor::execAddToPackageMap <- (AliensKFServerPerksMut KF-AtmosphereProcessor.AliensKFServerPerksMut @ Function AliensKFServerPerksMut.AliensKFServerPerksMut.PostBeginPlay : 05C7) <- UObject::ProcessEvent <- (AliensKFServerPerksMut KF-AtmosphereProcessor.AliensKFServerPerksMut, Function AliensKFServerPerksMut.AliensKFServerPerksMut.PostBeginPlay) <- ULevel::SpawnActor <- (AliensKFServerPerksMut) <- UObject::ProcessEvent <- (KFGameType KF-AtmosphereProcessor.KFGameType, Function KFmod.KFGameType.InitGame) <- BeginPlay <- UGameEngine::LoadMap <- LocalMapURL <- UGameEngine::Browse <- ClientTravel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- Level AtmosphereProcessor <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Realloc <- 4C576C61 0 FArray <- FArray::Realloc <- 0*2 <- FMallocWindows::Free
there are also some errors reported in the log file.

w00t!

Any chance of making a future version use a renamed serverperksstat.ini? Current way conflicts with the base serverperks.

It's something to consider. As it stood we didn't want to reinvent the wheel which is why we extended off of ServerPerks. But there is something else that I want server perks to do so it's certainly worth looking at.

You know what, I've not looked at that. In all tests our severs have ran smoothly in a 16 man which is what we have set up on ours. I've not noticed joiners lag or any major spikes when new xenos spawn. Not like most custom ZEDs cause. Kill messages... should work. We've not tested it but I don't see why it shouldn't.

Thanks ^^

@Sanguivore

I've had one other user experience this. I suggest checking what version of ServerPerks you have as our ServerPerksMut is dependent on those packages. The warning about gibs and textures is a non issue, although it does mean I have something to clean up for the next issue. They are unused really old Alien texures and do not get called on during gameplay.

Let me know if you have any luck.

To me its not a huge issue, i run a custom Serverperks (all still extended off the base files) and i just pointed the StatsObject class to use a different config for my normal ServerPerks based gametype i currently run, leaving the Aliens Mod to use the Serverperksstat.ini

I was just thinking it may be better to leave the base serverperksstat.ini to serverperks and have the Aliens mod use its own, would mean more servers could potentially use it as a voteable gametype without conflicting or causing headaches for server admins.

gametype question

gametype question

@Whisky--> I'm currently running ServerPerks v6. So I don't think that is the issue. But I will install v6.1 if this mod requires it. :D

Hemi said:
are you using AliensKFGameType.AliensKFGameType ?
Click to expand...

currently, i'm trying to test this mod in solo play before setting up a private server instance.

I set the default gametype to this in my killingfloor.ini file under the maplist record as shown here:

Code: 
[AliensKFMaps MaplistRecord]
DefaultTitle=Aliens KF Maps
DefaultGameType=AliensKFGameType.AliensKFGameType
DefaultActive=0
DefaultMaps=KF-AtmosphereProcessor
DefaultMaps=KF-Derelict
DefaultMaps=KF-HadleysHallway
DefaultMaps=KF-Xenoish

As far as I know, this should work. Unless there is a better method that I am unaware of, which is possible.

Other things of interesting note during my studies.

The Aliens Killing Floor ServerPerks Vet mut is what is causing the CTD. If I rename the AliensKFServerPerks.ini file to Serverprks.ini and use ServerPerks Vet Handler v6 mut instead, I circumvent the CTD.

WPC Aliens Mutator and WPC Aliens Path Mutator don't work together. It's either one or the other when trying to select them. The install directions says to install the Aliens Path Mutator but it doesn't seem like it does anything. Whereas the WPC Aliens Mutator (which the readme said nothing about) I actually need to spawn all the Xenos in place of the Zeds.

I can now start a match on a map, and succesfully have Xenos replace the Zeds. The HUD is not updated, I start with the Pitbull and Torch only, The selectable skins are WPC only, and the aliens walk along the walls and hop all over the @#$% place like I expect they should. Trader and Perk classes look correct and seem to function properly (after I figured out that I also had to backup my server's ServerPerksStat.ini file so this mod could create it's own).

A.I. seems broken. The Xenos have awesome range of movement for the maps, but the only attack they do is melee. Even the Facehuggers. They scitter and bite, but no jumping on the face.

The Queen is non-existent. :( On the final wave, it is still the Patriarch. Pretty sure this is wrong and not sure how I borked this install.

This could very well be an issue with my gametype setting. Others seem to not have any problems so it must be on my end.

The reason you cant use the WPC Aliens Path Mutator and the WPC Aliens Mutator is you are supposed to use one or the other.

Make sure all the files were installed.
Use Latest version of ServerPerks.

From the main menu.

Select SOLO.
Select Aliens:Killing Floor from the list of game types.

Turn on mutators:
"WPC Aliens Path Mutator"
"WPC Aliens:KF Server Vetrancy Handler"
"WPC Aliens:Killing Floor Detail Mut"

Select a map, any map. Away you go.

Regarding ServerPerks.

This is designed to work along side and make use of existing serverperksstats.ini we may or may not give users the option of custom stats or existing stats in a future update.

Facehuggers don't facehug in a solo game. It was decided to not make them do that. Otherwise it's an automatic game over if you get hugged.

Check you've installed AKFFonts, and if you are a server admin add that to serverpackages.

Wave progress and remaining zeds are not supposed to be displayed.

Glad you like it.

Try updating to 6.1 and see if that fixes it.

I didnt even know there was a v6.1
Anyways i guess i have to, my v6 is crashing KF (On any game mode) a lot. IDK if its some weapons i added.

Okay, got v6.1 off of the page on this forum. It loaded now, but when the wave started i get this now

 Build UT2004_Build_[2004-11-11_10.48]

OS: Windows NT 6.1 (Build: 7601)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 2195 MHz with 4095MB RAM
Video: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family (2430)

General protection fault!

You are talking about stats right? and not the normal serverperks.ini config?

It shares the same stats. But the config is different. So shop, skins etc should be different from normal.
Click to expand...

Yeah, the stats file, I plan to have the Aliens mod running as a vote option alongside my standard serverperks based gametype, i've made my gametype use a custom statsfile, just thought it may help other server owners who may wish to do the same with a serverperks based gametype.

Make it configurable so server admins get the choice if possible.

So is there going to be a source code for this? or is just going to be for private use?
Click to expand...

Some will be made public yes. But the mod has allot of dependencies so dont expect things to run smooth with normal KF.

eg : the smartgun is only animated on the Colonial Marines. A normal KF soldier looks really silly with that thing lol.

I expect in a month or so we will push out a little update. Including the first bits of the source :)
