Survivor is a comprehensive compilation mod focusing on restoring the light-hearted horror atmosphere of Killing Floor, scaling back some of the daffy insanity of recent patches, removing grind, adding real diversity to perk choices which don't rely on locking them into a single playstyle, enhancing mechanics, providing massive variety and strategy in player squad composition, and above all encouraging team-oriented play by promoting synergy between players. With 17 new perks, over 60 weapons, tons of new gameplay features and audio, and 8 new Zeds, Survivor provides a refreshing change of pace from Killing Floor's descent into ToonTown while, more importantly, delivering enough new features to keep people interested and engaged in a much more brutal, but rewarding, team-based experience. Survivor is a reflection of the Killing Floor modding community's accomplishments over the years since its release.

Installation and Setup
Extract both the latest Survivor Mod archive and Survivor Assets to your killing floor directory.

Enable both ServerPerksX and Survivor Mod mutators in your mutator list, and ensure that the ServerPerksX.ini file is overridden with the packaged one (back up your original if you have one!).

The ServerPerksX.ini and Survival.ini files contain a good deal of on-the-fly customization options including spawn wave manipulation, zombie definitions, and more. Like ScrNBalance, you're able to set the auto-reload option on your server in the Survival.ini file (bAutoReload is set to False by default, set it to True if you want automatic reloading when you fire an empty gun). In Survival.ini, you may also adjust the patriarch's health scale, as well as the GLOBAL damage multiplier. This will affect damage from ALL weapons, and is set to 1.22 by default.

This mod is presently BALANCED AND INTENDED FOR Friendly-Fire environments only! Playing without friendly fire not only reduces the teamplay aspect of the game, it makes explosives incredibly powerful in contrast to their intention. For this reason, if friendly fire is scaled down, so too are explosives damage. At 0% friendly fire, explosives will deal 50% of their original damage, which brings them to a level roughly equal to that of vanilla Killing Floor.

I highly recommend playing it on "Normal" difficulty, or "Hard" if you're feeling adventurous. If you can beat this thing on HoE with 100% Friendly Fire, with any number of players, I'll be ****ing impressed.


New Perks
Perks are now selected at the start of the level, and cannot be changed except on death. Perks are balanced around the idea of giving players strengths which synergize well with others and limit the "one man army" aspect of most base perks. All players are far more fragile now, limited to 3 charges on the Med-Syringe, and are required to work with others to advance.

While perks may specialize in certain aspects of combat, most bonuses are global. For the vast majority of perks, all weapons are viable options. Using a rifle, for instance, on a Conventional Soldier is actually an exceptional choice for some one seeking to hold out with limited supplies because of his global ammo bonus.

The new VoicePack is active only for the Beefcake perk. More VoicePacks should be coming in later releases.

Spoiler!

• Crap Shoot
  
  • Players may choose to let the game select a perk for them and receive some extra starting money and body armor.
• Beefcake
  
  • Gettin' swoll is surprisingly easy in the apocalypse, as the entire world has been converted into your personal gymnasium. Robust and extremely strong, the hulking Beefcake excels at hefting around herculean loads with ease, and brutalizing specimens with his powerful melee attacks. He is, however, quite slow and uncoordinated.
  • Voiced by Michael Tsarouhas
  • The Beefcake is a bulky, slow, melee class who also excels at using very heavy weapons due to his massive carrying capacity.
• Heavy Weapons Specialist
  
  • The deafening sound of the Heavy Weapons Expert mowing down fields of specimens is anything but subtle. Slow, and mostly deaf, he uses machine guns and explosives to hurl as much death towards his enemies as rapidly as possible. The Heavy Weapons Expert's ability to saturate a field of fire is unparalleled, but feeding his insatiable appetite for ammunition can be tedious.
  • The Heavy Weapons Specialist is useful with both explosives and heavy assault rifles/machine guns, but moves rather slowly.
• Banker
  
  • When the specimen outbreak happened, not everyone in the country was flung into a desperate fight for survival. Sometimes, though, even the privileged get stuck in a tight spot. Greed is the Banker's primary motivator, and while he may be required to work with others to survive this incursion, he's never completely on anyone's side but his own.
  • The banker has a lot of money, but can't give it to anyone. Nor can he drop guns.
• Prepper
  
  • The Prepper can throw ammunition packs to his squadmates, is useful with a welder, and can carry a little extra. Otherwise, he's quite unremarkable.
• Pyromaniac
  
  • When in every face you see the object of your affection, that is love. While the Pyromaniac may not see fire in everyone's face at first glance, he aims to remedy that problem forthwith.
  • The Pyromaniac fires incendiary rounds out of EVERY weapon in the game, including healing darts, rockets, grenades, and more
• Sniper
  
  • One shot, one kill. That is the Sniper's creed. A silent assassin who is never seen or heard, he lurks among the shadows. He waits to strike with inhuman patience. As quiet as a panther, as clever as a fox, and as quick as a snake, he is both an elegant and sadistic portrait of the hunter. These qualities, while romantic, are of little advantage in the dense and well populated chaos that is the apocalypse, but the Sniper manages.
  • The Sniper is a specialty class who isn't very worthwhile most of the time, and can be a burden to the team, but he is exceptionally useful in certain situations.
• Exterminator
  
  • The Exterminator is a former Horzine employee specialized in dealing with the problematic Crawler specimens during their frequent containment breaches. He has advanced knowledge of specimen anatomy and is a master of utilizing poison to kill them. Using his poison cloud grenades, the Exterminator is especially useful for containing large groups of specimens.
  • Exterminators are very good at controlling crowds of enemies with their poison cloud grenades, and can eradicate crawlers like no one else. They are not, however, capable of sustaining high-damage firepower. Instead, they rely on poison to slow and damage Zeds over time.
• Secret Man
  
  • Beginning in 1981, the USSR's "Secret Man" program aimed to turn select SPETSNAZ soldiers into special agents skilled in subterfuge, infiltration, and assassination. Secret Men were trained in the use of poison ammunition, throwing knives, close quarters knife tactics, and suppressed weaponry. The program's name sounds better in Russian.
  • Secret Men are very fast, and exceptional with the starting knife. They can also poison enemies in a limited capacity, and throw reclaimable knives instead of grenades. This is a finesse class that can weave in and out of zombies very rapidly, dealing damage in a variety of ways, but who is somewhat weak and can't do much to support teammates.
• Storm Trooper
  
  • Trained to quickly close in on and eliminate targets, the Storm Trooper is agile and skilled with all manner of firearms. His light armor affords him the ability to sprint much more quickly, but reduces his durability in prolonged battles
  • The premiere damage-dealer of SPBeta. Storm Troopers deal a great deal of damage, and can sustain their damage with only the limitations of their carrying capacity and ammunition.
• Medic
  
  • Medical training is among the most prized possessions in the apocalypse, but combat skills and medicine rarely go hand in hand. Luckily, the Medic's ability to heal can also severely harm specimens. Never one to turn his back on the hippocratic oath, while the Medic may not pack as much punch as others he is extremely diligent about avoiding friendly fire.
  • Medics gain large bonuses to medical application, and can carry a ludicrous amount of healing supplies. Still, he can't be everywhere at once, and with the severe limitations to healing supplies in SPBeta, it may be a good idea to have more than one medic in large squads.
• Special Ops
  
  • Trained for a variety of indirect operations, the Special Ops is adept at carrying large loads, administering basic medical aid, and possesses simple welding skills. In addition to utilizing armor piercing rounds, the Special Ops is an expert in survival situations requiring soldiers to adapt to their environment and make use of their surroundings.
  • Special Operators aren't really all that special, as it turns out, in the apocalypse. SpecOps players will find themselves in a "Jack of All Trades" role, more than anything else. The SpecOps is remarkable for being the only other Perk besides the Medic to get healing bonuses, and also is decent with a Welder.
• Conventional Soldier
  
  • Trained for combat in the military, the Conventional Soldier is quite unremarkable. Equipped with superior body armor and carrying pouches, this well trained soldier is capable of operating most firearms with great skill. The heavier body armor and ammunition load slows him down, however.
  • Conventional Soldiers are defensive gunfighters who can hold positions far longer than most thanks to their better body armor and superior ammo supplies, but dealing with emergency situations is not his forte.
• Bulletstorm
  
  • When the moans of specimens are cut off by a cacophony of pistol fire cracks, it isn't a mob of hastily armed villagers fighting back against the menace, it's a storm. A bullet storm.
  • The Bulletstorm is the only remaining bullet-spam class in SPBeta, but his bonuses are limited only to pistols. Very strong in early waves, the Bulletstorm mortgages his future survival for early firepower. He also throws empty shell casings instead of grenades.
• Handyman
  
  • Once a hard working hardware store clerk, the Handyman has reinvented himself for the apocalypse. Now he deals in pain, and by the gallon. With an extensive knowledge of home repair appliances and a can-do attitude the Handyman dispenses deconstruction advice at the end of a chainsaw. Free of charge.
  • If any one word describes the Handyman, it's Nails. He throws nail grenades, nail bombs, and wraps his body armor in nails. Nails are extremely powerful in close quarters, but far less useful in open terrain. The Handyman is a hybrid support/melee class who relies on finesse and special abilities.
• Action Hero
  
  • A pile of owed alimony, the IRS breathing down his neck, and a few recent box office bombs conspired to ensure that the Action Hero would welcome the apocalypse with open arms. With all of his problems disappearing down the gullets of freakish monsters, the Action Hero was afforded a clean slate and the opportunity to realize his dream: live out his movies for real by blasting the crap out of a whole lot of things.
  • The Action Hero is SPBeta's Zed-Time perk, getting large bonuses during Slow-Mo and extending Zed-Time up to 10 times. Very strong in the "perfect" situation, but just an average joe otherwise. An average joe with 2x magazine sizes for all guns, including the double-barrelled shotgun.
• Highlander
  
  • Here we are in the zombie apocalypse. Fighting to survive, this is where the Highlander belongs. He has inside him the blood of kings. No man is his equal. His power in his hand, with sword and head held high, he will go far. Fighting and free, he'll make his stand. Bring on the monsters, for the Highlander was born to be the prince of the universe.
  • Highlanders are probably the most unique class in SPBeta. They gain power for lopping off the heads of Zeds (in fact, it's the only way they can heal), eventually becoming very strong. They also throw axes instead of grenades, which is their only ranged method of scoring a life-draining kill (Thanks to Whisky for making the model)
• Gangster
  
  • When the Gangster first joined the family, he was met with guffaws and get-outta-here's. His slick suit, slicker hair, and outdated weaponry were all relics of an era that only really existed in the movies. Much to the chagrin of the few uneaten members of the syndicate hiding in their New Jersey houses, the Gangster's style proved to have a certain exuberance to it, as well as a primary weapon caliber that could really make a clot's head pop.
  • The gangster gains bonus damage to burning targets, and is the only perk in the game who can use the 50-round drum Thompson. He can also throw some molotov cocktails, but they aren't enough to get him through a full wave.

Weapon Mechanics/Balance Changes

• Weapons which have an alternate firing mode but also have selective fire (like the M4 with an M203 launcher, or most medic guns) now toggle their firemode on alt-fire press, and will fire their alternate firing mode after holding down the alt-fire key for 0.35 seconds.
• New firing system gives penetration to all high-velocity ammo types, and all weapons now support (but don't necessarily utilize) penetration.
• Tube-Fed weapons (Pump Shotguns, Winchester) MUST be racked (pumped/cocked) after they've been fired dry, but you can interrupt the reload animation after loading a single round now.
• The only default weapon is the Knife. Your sidearm, welder, and syringe must be purchased. The syringe also has limited ammunition.
• Weapons have much more realistic recoil, and a new algorithm was developed for spreading damage/penetration on all weapons, and Zeds are thus much easier to kill - but with lower ammunition supplies, waves are much more difficult.

New Weapons/Changed Weapons
All of the default killing floor weapons have had their weapon names changed to their real life counterparts since this isn't a commercial project. While most guns function SIMILARLY to their original, I believe every weapon has had some changes since I completely redid the firing system. For instance, the Desert Eagle recoils like a monster now.

Furthermore, due to new weight restrictions, ammo restrictions and realistic gun weights, having a pistol sidearm is very appealing. Sidearms generally have unremarkable damage, but they are the perfect weapon to fill your loadout when you have only one or two blocks (KGs) left.

Weapon ammunition is much more scarce. Pistols carry 4 spare mags, Low Caliber Assault Rifles and SMGs carry 3, High Caliber Assault Rifles and Rifles carry 2, and Machine Guns carry 0. Explosive spares are dependent on weight. Revolvers are a special case which carry 6 spare loads, and gain 2 loads from an ammo pickup rather than the standard 1.

You never have to worry about losing ammunition from dropping or picking up dual handguns. These weapons will always retain exactly how much ammunition they should. You will, however, drop half of your current ammunition with any single handgun you toss out.

Spoiler!

Melee/Utility

• Syringe - Must be purchased now, limited to 3 charges. Heals for 35 (is not more effective if healing others, there are plenty of teamwork-oriented mechanics in this mod that we don't need this). Can be used to poison zeds.
• Welder - Must be purchased now, works basically the same as before. Perks without bonuses to welding will have very poor welding skill, however.
• Machete - Other than the Katana, the best head-shot melee weapon. Function is similar to vanilla.
• Fire Axe - Realistic weight, otherwise functions identical to vanilla.
• Chainsaw - Sawing with the primary fire is much more rapid and damaging. Alternate attacks also do more damage. Otherwise, function is similar to vanilla.
• Katana - Identical to vanilla
• Claymore - Realistic weight, otherwise functions identical to vanilla.
• Scythe - Realistic weight, otherwise functions identical to vanilla.
• Battle Axe - (Dwarfs?! Axe) Reduced knock-back effect for living zeds, high damage, similar to vanilla.

Pistols

• PB Pistol - Extremely cheap silenced gun. Does little damage and has limited ammo capacity. The Secret Man perk can poison enemies with this gun, but it's otherwise pretty ****ty.
• Beretta M9 - (9mm Tactical) Function is similar to vanilla, though its damage is up significantly in line with all other weapons. No longer useless, a good, cheap, high capacity side-arm. It weighs 1kg now, and can be sold/dropped.
• Glock 18C - Similar damage to the M9, slightly larger capacity, an option for full auto, and a higher price tag. If you find the 9mm round to be good enough, you may want to consider this upgrade to the M9.
• HK MK23 - (HK23) A light weight side-arm with better damage, but lower capacity, than the M9.
• S&W Model 29 - (44 Magnum) Great rate of fire, good ammo capacity, and great damage. All while boasting a low weight. Only downside is the very small cylinder capacity of a revolver, and the obvious reloading disadvantages.
• IMI Desert Eagle .50 - (Handcannon) Kicks like a mule, hits about as hard. With decent reload speed and firepower approaching that of a rifle, the Desert Eagle is a very useful sidearm if you're willing to shell out for it, and have the extra weight available.
• Flare Revolver - A slower, heavier Model 29 that fires flares. Not really the best weapon in most cases, but it can be useful for some. Pyromaniacs fire slower-moving, higher-damage projectiles from this, making it much more appealing.

SMGs

• HK MP5SD - Silenced version of the MP5 which has damage similar to the M9 and other 9mm weapons, along with the pitiful penetration.
• HK MP5A4 - The standard MP5 from all the movies, with semi-auto, full-auto, and a tactical flashlight. Has slightly higher damage, and slightly less accuracy than the SD.
• HK MP5-M - (MP5M) An MP5A4 with a dart launcher instead of flashlight. Medical darts can be used to heal allies or poison enemies. Darts have very limited capacity on everyone but the medic and exterminator.
• Ingram MAC-10 - (Mac10) Fires .45 caliber ammunition and, as such, has similar damage to the MK23 and other .45 weapons. Higher muzzle velocity means a bit more damage than .45 pistols, but not enough to write home about. Very high rate of fire, however, and the suppressor provides a bit more accuracy.
• AKS-74u - Firing 5.45x39mm ammo, this light SMG boasts very good penetration but fails to really impress in the damage department. Great for spraying loads of weak enemies, though.
• L2A22 Carbine - (Bullpup) Firing 5.56 NATO, this light, fast-reloading weapon is quite similar to the AKS-74U, but has slightly higher damage and slightly less penetration. A good option when Assault Rifles are outside of your price range.
• Thompson M1A1/M1921 - The Thompson M1A1 is quite heavy for an SMG, but provides great stopping power and efficient ammo consumption. For stronger perks, this is definitely a viable weapon, but fails to impress for its weight usage. The Gangster, however, gets the 50-round-drum M1921 which makes the Thompson a much more appealing option for him since he can carry 3 spare drums.
• Kriss Vector - (KrissM) A .45 caliber SMG boasting the highest rate of fire of all SMGs, with a high caliber round to back it up. Putting a healing dart launcher on this guy makes it an even more appealing choice. Great all-around SMG
• XMk5 Exterminator - Another .45 offering, but a weird and expensive one. This weapon can toggle between firing .45 ACP rounds and Mini-Darts, in both single and full-auto firing modes. Mini-Darts are rapid fire healing darts with a smaller healing/poisoning effect. Great for medics who can't stand their targets moving on them. Just saturate the entire field with darts! Predominantly, however, this is an Exterminator weapon which allows Exterminators to pump their targets with poison very rapidly. Mini-Darts can be fired while reloading the .45 magazine.

Assault Rifles

• AK-47 - (AK47) Probably the most similar gun to its vanilla counterpart, the AK47 now boasts a realistic rate of fire and much higher damage/penetration. Like all assault rifles, its damage and penetration both outclass weaker, shorter-barreled guns. A great entry-level assault rifle.
• StG44 - (Mkb42) A slightly cheaper, lower penetration counterpart to the AK47.
• AS Val - This silenced assault rifle fires heavy subsonic rounds that can do a good deal of damage with decent penetration. Somewhat weaker than the AK47 and StG44, it makes up for its loss in damage with very controllable fire and good penetration.
• Colt M4A1 - Firing the same 5.56 NATO round as the L2A22 Carbine, the M4 has a higher muzzle velocity (and thus damage) and rate of fire, making it a fantastic weapon for spraying large groups of specimens, or sniping heads off of priority targets THROUGH other enemies.
• Colt M4A1 M203 - A colt M4 with a grenade launcher. No longer forces you to reload the grenade launcher after firing it, allowing you to quickly follow up an M203 grenade with rifle fire. Also has full and semi-auto modes.
• FN SCAR Mk17 - (SCARMk17) Very high damage and penetration, this 7.62 NATO assault rifle can really devastate Zeds. Its ammo capacity is lacking, however, and controlling it in full auto can be difficult.
• FN FAL - (FNFAL ACOG) Slightly higher damage to the SCAR, this weapon is also a bit heavier and harder to control due to its slightly higher rate of fire.

Rifles

• Winchester Model 1894 - (Lever Action Rifle) Based on the original center-fire cartridge, this rifle does superb damage but somewhat lacks penetration compared to other rifles. A great weapon for just about anyone looking for high damage single shots to stun husks or pop the head off a siren in a single shot.
• Remington 700 - Great damage and penetration, the Remington 700 is the cheapest "sniper rifle" type weapon in the game, but fires rather slowly.
• Single Pistol Longmusket - For now, this thing just has damage similar to the Winchester M1894. I'll either remove it in future versions or retexture it and give it new audio.
• VSS Vintorez - Identical to the Val, but with a 4x PSO scope.
• Mk 14 EBR - (M14EBR) An M14 with an updated chasis and single-fire only. This weapon is analogous to the SCAR or FAL with its damage and penetration, but doesn't have fully automatic fire. A great weapon, regardless.
• L96 Arctic Warfare Magnum - Heavier and more expensive cousin to the Remington 700. Can also be used as a bludgeoning weapon in close quarters to knock back zeds. The lapua magnum rounds can blow the head off just about anything in a single shot, and it has a massive amount of penetration to back it up.
• HK 417 - Similar in damage to the SCAR/FAL/Mk14EBR but is also equipped with a high magnification scope, this is a great option for snipers who also want the luxury of full auto fire.
• Barett M99 - (M99) This weapon's damage has gone up according to the same algorithm used for all other guns in the game, making it do absurd damage and penetration to just about everything. It is, however, extremely heavy for a rifle which prevents all but the strongest perks from lugging it around. Very limited ammunition as well. But if you're rich and can carry a ton, it's not a bad choice.

Shotguns

• Serbu Super-Shorty-M - This medic shotgun only has a 2 round tube, but can also fire darts at the click of a button instead of holding alt-fire like other weapons. It's not a bad weapon for supportive types like medics, but can't sustain its damage output very reliably. Weighing only 2Kg, it makes a decent replacement for a sidearm.
• Model 1897 Trench Gun - (Trenchgun) A great all around shotgun with good damage output and a cheap price tag. Like all shotguns, though, ammo pickups only provide a few shells.
• Sawn-Off Ruger Gold Label - (Boomstick) Has had most of the bugs from vanilla fixed, and otherwise is a great, light weight weapon for dealing with a situation that requires a single, powerful shot to save the day. Equivalent to firing 2 shots from a trenchgun at once, which (with the new damage algorithm) is quite potent. Limited ammunition, like all shotguns.
• Remington 870 Express - (Shotgun) Fires slugs instead of buckshot, otherwise it would be practically identical to the Trench Gun. Great for single-shot damage, or stunning specimens, with a low price tag.
• Kel-Tec KSG - (HSG) A mag-fed pump shotgun with spread-selection modes. A great, light weight shotgun that can be utilized by almost anyone.
• Benelli M4 Super 90 - (Combat Shotgun) The fastest firing tube-feeder in the game, this shotgun can really smash large groups of enemies, but is slow to reload.
• Nail Gun - (Nailgun) Alt-fire now rapidly fires single nails. Damage isn't all that spectacular, but with a 100-nail magazine and the option to fire 20 nails at once in primary fire, it can really clear out cramped spaces where the nails can bounce around. Good for anyone, great for the Handyman.
• AA12 - (AA12) Similar to its vanilla version, but with realistic weight and limited ammunition (like all shotguns). Still, much more powerful than its vanilla counterpart since, unlike vanilla, each shot from the AA12 is now equivalent to a shot from any other 12-gauge.

Machine Guns

• RPK 47 - The RPK was updated to be a companion to the AK74 in the 80s. This is not that updated version. Thus, its damage remains consistent with the older 7.62x39mm soviet round used by the AK47. Essentially a giant assault rifle, the RPK is a great weapon for anyone willing to sacrifice weight for firepower (which is everyone). Carrying 3 spare magazines, like low caliber assault rifles, the RPK boasts an ammo capacity bested only by the XMk5 and Thompson M1921, but with greater firepower.
• FN M249 SAW - This high rate-of-fire light machine gun fires 5.56 NATO, which makes its single-shot damage the lowest of all the machine guns. In fact, it is quite similar to the M4A1 in this regard. But with a 200 round box magazine and great firing rate, it's more than capable of slaughtering specimens in large quantities very quickly, or taking down big targets in short order. Careful, though, with no spare magazines you're going to be dependent on a Prepper to resupply you.
• PKM - This general purpose MG fires 7.62x54mmR rounds found primarily in sniper rifles like the Dragunov, making its damage output and penetration absolutely phenomenal. Limited only by its 100 round box and heavy weight, this weapon dishes out death like it was going out of style. Ridiculous.

Explosives

• Pipebomb - Almost the same as the original pipebomb, but like grenades can have its projectile type replaced based on perk (the handyman throws nailbombs, for instance)
• M79 - (M79) Similar to vanilla, but with much higher damage (like all explosives)
• Milkor M32 MGL - (M32) Similar to vanilla, but with much higher damage
• LAW - (LAW) far more devastating than the vanilla LAW, and much lighter, but only carries 2 rounds.

Miscellaneous

• Flamethrower - Identical to the vanilla flamethrower, but lighter.
• Husk Cannon - Will probably be removed unless I can think of something to do with it. For now, Identical (but lighter) to the vanilla version
• Crossbow - This thing is a total piece of crap now. It does poor damage and doesn't penetrate very far. Sort of useful for Pyromaniacs, but otherwise a weapon to avoid. I will probably be making this fire explosive-tipped bolts at some point, instead of keeping it as a sniper weapon.
• Crossbuzzsaw - Functions similar to vanilla, but does 2x "head damage"... all zeds have independent "head health" which doesn't count towards their hitpoints, and when depleted their head is removed. This leads to some zeds still being alive, briefly, without a head. Well, this weapon does extra damage to that independent head health pool, increasing its ability to decapitate.

Grenades/Thrown Weapons

• MedicNade - Identical to the vanilla medic grenades
• Frag Grenade - The basic KF grenade, has far greater damage congruent with other explosives
• HE Grenade - No shrapnel, higher blast radius and damage.
• Nail Grenade - Low damage explosion, but slings nails all over the place. Fantastic in tight areas, lackluster otherwise.
• Poison Cloud Grenade - Releases a poison gas cloud that lingers for quite some time, moderately poisoning zeds and, more importantly, dissuading them from traveling through the area.
• Molotov Cocktail - Bursts into flame on contact, setting everything in a small area on fire and doing some nominal damage. Much weaker than the Incendiary Grenade, but exploding on contact has many advantages
• Incendiary Grenade - A fused, flame-based grenade that engulfs a large area in flame. Identical to the vanilla flame grenades.
• Throwing Knife - Moderate damage, high headshot multiplier. Can be retrieved from walls, corpses, and still-alive zeds.
• Throwing Axe - High damage, low headshot multiplier. Can be retrieved from walls, corpses, and still-alive zeds.

Zed Mechanics

• Zed Hitpoint scaling is reduced significantly for number of players and difficulty, but base zed health is increased a little. Higher difficulties merely increase zed speed, damage and number. As this mod's difficulty focus is on "surviving" and not "pumping tons of rounds into tougher enemies," this doesn't serve to make the game much easier.
• The maximum number of Zeds spawned at once is 50% higher
• The sine wave which regulates the "ups and downs" within each wave (making spawning much more intense at certain intervals) has had its frequency reduced significantly, causing much more apparent breaks in the action, and longer waves of intensity. Coupled with the increased zed spawn limit, this can make every wave get pretty desperate.
• Tougher zeds show up much earlier, and all waves have been significantly modified with an array of new zed types.

New Zeds/Changes to Old Zeds

• Bloats - No longer a "pop the head off and ignore" enemy. If their head is blown off, bloats now spew bile out of their neck hole perpetually until their bodies decay. Gross!
• Snatcher - This little guy is similar to a clot, but moves more quickly, is a little tougher, and steals money from players he attacks. Prioritizes Banksters as targets.
• Monkey Scrake - A miniature monkey version of the normal scrake. About as tough as two gorefasts, and gets angry from taking ANY damage.
• Scrake - Gains nominal damage resistance while charging, restoring the usefulness of sniping their heads which was otherwise a little less important given the damage output of most guns now.
• Big Green - A big, fat, green crawler who poisons those he attacks. Slow, and quite useless at range, Big Green is a menace in close quarters.
• Ghost - The Ghost is a stalker/crawler hybrid who turns incorporeal rather than invisible, rendering it immune to damage. It only pops out of its incorporeal state briefly while in mid-leap towards targets it attacks. Very distracting, but also very easily killed if timed correctly.
• Siren - Throws a hysterical fit when she sees an Action Hero, causing her to scream rapidly and move quickly towards him.
• Stalker - Prefers to stalk the Action Hero, and will not break attention from him once he has it.
• Foghorn - A siren who spews smoke screens, but otherwise has no mechanism to damage players. Typically spawns with Husks, Sirens, and Rocket Husks.
• Rocket Husk - For those familiar with the popular Mad Husk zed, this will seem very similar. In fact, it uses the Mad Husk's model. However, its AI and Rocket programming has been altered to fix some of the bugs with the original (such as the problem with rockets doing zero damage to players sometimes). Its rockets are powerful and leave a lingering smoke trail, but he doesn't fire nearly as often as his Husk counterpart.
• Arachna - A new zed based on the latest mod from WPC, "Arachnophobia". This more powerful crawler, which utilizes the Hillbilly stalker model, can climb on walls and ceilings, and is a bit tougher to kill.
• Megapound - This giant fleshpound (using the elephant man model from the Circus event) boasts tremendous hitpoints and damage, will enrage at the slightest provocation, and will not have his rage abated by simply hitting a player. He's rather slow compared to his smaller brother, but requires coordination and combined fire to take down. Only shows up on Wave 10, a bit of a mini-boss.
• Patriarch - The patriarch now utilizes all of the tricks from the PyHardPat mod, allowing him to fire multiple rockets, shoot his chaingun while walking, and flank players more regularly.
• Other zeds behave much the same as vanilla, with only minor tweaks and changes to them to bring their hitpoints and behavior in line with the new "very minimal hitpoint scaling" system.

[PotentiaLeaena]

You are officially my Hero, Surly.

This is going up on my server ASAP.

 

[Massacrer]

One thing I would like to see is someone making a deployable ammo box for ammo supplies on the field.

 

[Surly]

Well, I do have a perk who chucks ammo boxes instead of grenades.

A deployable one wouldn't be too terribly difficult, but I don't do modeling or animating. The code for it wouldn't be too tough. Give me a model, texture, and some animations of hands carrying it around/throwing it, and an animation of it "setting up" and I'd be happy to do that!

 

[PotentiaLeaena]

Okay, I may have done something wrong here, but I uploaded all the files to the server, restarted and voted for the mod.. No perks, no specimen, nothing.

Edit: Re-uploaded all the files, changed to the gametype and still nothing downloads, etc. I've even tried adding it manually to ServerPackages, at which point the server just crashes epically upon starting. Not sure what's going on here, but I don't think it's on my end. Checking one last thing just to be absolutely sure it's not.

 

[Skell]

Mk 14 EBR - (M14EBR) An M14 with an updated chasis and single-fire only. This weapon is analogous to the SCAR or FAL with its damage and penetration, but doesn't have fully automatic fire. A great weapon, regardless.

This frightens me. Does this remove the ability to flinch lock scrakes? If it does, that makes the weapon useless on HoE.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Weapons which have an alternate firing mode but also have selective fire (like the M4 with an M203 launcher, or most medic guns) now toggle their firemode on alt-fire press, and will fire their alternate firing mode after holding down the alt-fire key for 0.35 seconds.

I'm also concerned about the medic darts - it should be the other way around. (Good) Medics will hold more than one medic gun and be shooting a medic dart, swapping, shooting another one to chain heal someone.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
HK 417 - Similar in damage to the SCAR/FAL/Mk14EBR but is also equipped with a high magnification scope, this is a great option for snipers who also want the luxury of full auto fire.

I hope you balanced this gun to hell.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sawn-Off Ruger Gold Label - (Boomstick) Has had most of the bugs from vanilla fixed, and otherwise is a great, light weight weapon for dealing with a situation that requires a single, powerful shot to save the day. Equivalent to firing 2 shots from a trenchgun at once, which (with the new damage algorithm) is quite potent. Limited ammunition, like all shotguns.

Light weight? It's balanced at 10 blocks in vanilla, although I'm pretty sure you've done something to balance it.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
New firing system gives penetration to all high-velocity ammo types, and all weapons now support (but don't necessarily utilize) penetration.

This really could become ridiculously over powered. It was also kinda Support Specialist's thing with the bullet penetration. It looks like every other gun has it now... Especially where it feels like it shouldn't (Rifles - Auto Rifles).
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Pipebomb - Almost the same as the original pipebomb, but like grenades can have its projectile type replaced based on perk (the handyman throws nailbombs, for instance)
M79 - (M79) Similar to vanilla, but with much higher damage (like all explosives)
Milkor M32 MGL - (M32) Similar to vanilla, but with much higher damage
LAW - (LAW) far more devastating than the vanilla LAW, and much lighter, but only carries 2 rounds.

When you say much higher damage (like all explosives), you mean to scale with other weapons? Demolitions was one of the most balanced classes in vanilla...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
all zeds have independent "head health" which doesn't count towards their hitpoints, and when depleted their head is removed. This leads to some zeds still being alive, briefly, without a head. Well, this weapon does extra damage to that independent head health pool, increasing its ability to decapitate.

This is a changed mechanic. Originally this is not the case and this frightens me because headless FP's are the most terrifying thing that ever existed in this game.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Zed Hitpoint scaling is reduced significantly for number of players and difficulty, but base zed health is increased a little. Higher difficulties merely increase zed speed, damage and number. As this mod's difficulty focus is on "surviving" and not "pumping tons of rounds into tougher enemies," this doesn't serve to make the game much easier.

On higher difficulties this is never the case. You can't just 'pump tons of rounds into tougher enemies' or you'll get your balls rocked. I'm beginning to get the feeling that this mod will break all meta of the original.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Bloats - No longer a "pop the head off and ignore" enemy. If their head is blown off, bloats now spew bile out of their neck hole perpetually until their bodies decay. Gross!

Breaks tactic of leaving a headless bloat so it doesn't pop. Interesting change... kinda neutral about it.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Ghost - The Ghost is a stalker/crawler hybrid who turns incorporeal rather than invisible, rendering it immune to damage. It only pops out of its incorporeal state briefly while in mid-leap towards targets it attacks. Very distracting, but also very easily killed if timed correctly.

Just sounds cheap tbh.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Megapound - This giant fleshpound (using the elephant man model from the Circus event) boasts tremendous hitpoints and damage, will enrage at the slightest provocation, and will not have his rage abated by simply hitting a player. He's rather slow compared to his smaller brother, but requires coordination and combined fire to take down. Only shows up on Wave 10, a bit of a mini-boss.

Make sure you somehow back the summer event models up - their assets are usually removed at the end of the event.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Well those are my 200 cents.

 

[Surly]

Okay, I may have done something wrong here, but I uploaded all the files to the server, restarted and voted for the mod.. No perks, no specimen, nothing.

Edit: Re-uploaded all the files, changed to the gametype and still nothing downloads. Going to try a few things to see if I can get it to work.

Did you enable both ServerPerksX and Survivor Mod mutators? Forgot to mention that. I just had some one connect to a server hosting and it worked. I could have left out a file in the package, but I checked quite a few times.

Also, you may need to ensure that your ServerPerksX.ini file DID get overridden by the extraction. Without that, none of the perks will show up.

I'll try having some one install it on a clean KF Install and see if I can troubleshoot this problem. But it's 3am, so that'll probably be tomorrow.

Yes, I enabled both mutators in WebAdmin before I even tried connecting the first time. I've even tried manually adding them both to ServerPackages to no avail (with ServerPerksX first). I'll go ahead and check the last modified date on my ServerPerksX.ini, and see if there's anything else that might have gone wrong in the install process, but I've uploaded everything twice now, overwriting everything both times.

 

[Gartley]

Cool, I'll have to give this a go sometime. Especially if you've improved upon my work. It's good to see some some new mods surface. I was getting fed up of all those crappy reskins in the workshop.

 

[Surly]

This mod rather dramatically changes the way Killing Floor plays in general. If you're "used to" killing floor the way it is and don't want to give up hard-learned skills like stun-locking scrakes, siren scream cancels, etcetera, then you'll probably find this mod a little unfriendly. It really does require a totally new approach to the game, and changes basically all gameplay mechanics either directly, or indirectly.

For instance, playing Killing Floor HoE vanilla (or with some conventional mods) is very much about roaming in circles and executing familiar maneuvers in as perfect a way as possible. I certainly don't begrudge Killing Floor that level of skilled play in a co-op shooter, but that's a completely different playstyle than what I'm going for here.

Keeping that in mind as a preface, I'll try to address your concerns.

Mk 14 EBR - (M14EBR) An M14 with an updated chasis and single-fire only. This weapon is analogous to the SCAR or FAL with its damage and penetration, but doesn't have fully automatic fire. A great weapon, regardless.

This frightens me. Does this remove the ability to flinch lock scrakes? If it does, that makes the weapon useless on HoE.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The SCAR, FAL and Mk 14 EBR all fire 7.62 NATO rounds out of similar barrels with similar muzzle velocity. While the damage between them is accordingly similar, it certainly doesn't mean the M14 is underpowered... in fact, you can flinch lock scrakes with a FAL now in addition to the M14. Flinch locking is based on damage dealt, and with all weapons having much, much higher damage... well, you can flinch-lock zeds with quite a few guns! All of the weapon power meters in the trader reflect their damage spread per shot, relative to other weapons in their category.

Weapons which have an alternate firing mode but also have selective fire (like the M4 with an M203 launcher, or most medic guns) now toggle their firemode on alt-fire press, and will fire their alternate firing mode after holding down the alt-fire key for 0.35 seconds.

I'm also concerned about the medic darts - it should be the other way around. (Good) Medics will hold more than one medic gun and be shooting a medic dart, swapping, shooting another one to chain heal someone.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I had done this in the original implementation, but throwing non-uniform switching mechanics into the mix is confusing to muscle memory and, taken in a vacuum, confusing in general. Thus, in this latest implementation I've made it so that Alt-Fire always toggles your fire mode, and holding it down always triggers your alt fire. I understand the healing dart complaint, and play-tested this extensively. Since healing darts are now more potent than before (and their hit detection is improved), I've received mostly compliments from people who've played.

But I understand not liking change. Change is generally bad, and this mod does a lot of that. I certainly won't make any promises about this mod being loved by everyone, but given the keymapping I'm pretty happy with this implementation now that I've had a chance to try it out.

HK 417 - Similar in damage to the SCAR/FAL/Mk14EBR but is also equipped with a high magnification scope, this is a great option for snipers who also want the luxury of full auto fire.

I hope you balanced this gun to hell.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Well, a great deal of balancing occurs from weapon weight and ammo capacity. With only 2 spare mags on the HK 417, it's basically just a slightly lower damage version of the M14 with full-auto capability and a low firing rate. But of course, balance is a crucial part of a beta. I've yet to hear anyone complain about it being OP yet.

Sawn-Off Ruger Gold Label - (Boomstick) Has had most of the bugs from vanilla fixed, and otherwise is a great, light weight weapon for dealing with a situation that requires a single, powerful shot to save the day. Equivalent to firing 2 shots from a trenchgun at once, which (with the new damage algorithm) is quite potent. Limited ammunition, like all shotguns.

Light weight? It's balanced at 10 blocks in vanilla, although I'm pretty sure you've done something to balance it.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Well, sort of. In vanilla, its projectiles do bonus damage and its alt-fire actually fires less projectiles than 2x the normal fire. 10 blocks is certainly justified for it considering the amount of damage it does relative to other weapons. In vanilla, it's roughly equivalent to 4 shells from the regular Shotgun being fired at once. In this mod, while shotgun damage is higher across the board (like with all weapons), it is equivalent to 2 shells from a normal shotgun.

So go figure. It has quite limited ammo as well, (as do all shotguns in the mod), and it's basically an "oh ****" button that can't be used terribly often. With the new Zed spawning volume and ammo scarcity, I think it works out pretty well.

New firing system gives penetration to all high-velocity ammo types, and all weapons now support (but don't necessarily utilize) penetration.

This really could become ridiculously over powered. It was also kinda Support Specialist's thing with the bullet penetration. It looks like every other gun has it now... Especially where it feels like it shouldn't (Rifles - Auto Rifles).
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I certainly appreciate this concern. All I can really say is "try it" and see. Shotguns are still amazing at spread-damage with penetration, and with this mod only certain assault rifles have high penetration (like the M4) with the 5.56 NATO rounds... which do pretty low damage. In playing, I've always found myself favoring a .45 SMG over an M4 (although the M4 with the grenade launcher is certainly nice).

Likewise, I've found most people who've playtested so far to really like the shotguns. In fact, I almost never see people using the FAL/SCAR.

Pipebomb - Almost the same as the original pipebomb, but like grenades can have its projectile type replaced based on perk (the handyman throws nailbombs, for instance)
M79 - (M79) Similar to vanilla, but with much higher damage (like all explosives)
Milkor M32 MGL - (M32) Similar to vanilla, but with much higher damage
LAW - (LAW) far more devastating than the vanilla LAW, and much lighter, but only carries 2 rounds.

When you say much higher damage (like all explosives), you mean to scale with other weapons? Demolitions was one of the most balanced classes in vanilla...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Explosives are actually scaled up in damage about 70%, whereas most weapons are, on average, up about 50%. But this is also in coordination to the health of the specimens being retooled, so it's not like I'm saying "you will kill zombies 70% faster with explosives", it's actually more like 60-150% faster, depending on the zombie. Demolitions is definitely a very balanced class, probably the gold standard, for vanilla. I like that you think so too!

But this is really where the "all gameplay mechanics have been changed in one way or another" thing comes into play. While killing floor is balanced around no friendly fire, this mod is balanced around friendly fire. As I stated in the opening post, I will soon be including a damage scaler which nerfs explosives damage as friendly fire is scaled down. As it is now, explosives can really devastate zeds. When smoke clears, you hardly ever see anything but red mist. Explosives thus have very limited ammunition and high weight.

So in short: Yes, with friendly fire off, explosives are OP in this mod... but I'd like to see you exploit it with friendly fire on! Good luck not blowing up your buddies (or self). I will be adding mechanics to address it before v1.0

Also, the whole "Vanilla Perk X did Y really well" is incomprehensible language for this mod, since the vanilla perks aren't in this mod at all.

all zeds have independent "head health" which doesn't count towards their hitpoints, and when depleted their head is removed. This leads to some zeds still being alive, briefly, without a head. Well, this weapon does extra damage to that independent head health pool, increasing its ability to decapitate.

This is a changed mechanic. Originally this is not the case and this frightens me because headless FP's are the most terrifying thing that ever existed in this game.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hahahaha, you're right about that. There are a ton of new mechanics though, and I think headless FPs aren't the most terrifying thing in this mod. I find myself disgusted by Big Green more than anything when playing it.

The Crossbuzzsaw, like all "misc" weapons, is certainly subject to change. I haven't really fiddled with those guns much yet.

Zed Hitpoint scaling is reduced significantly for number of players and difficulty, but base zed health is increased a little. Higher difficulties merely increase zed speed, damage and number. As this mod's difficulty focus is on "surviving" and not "pumping tons of rounds into tougher enemies," this doesn't serve to make the game much easier.

On higher difficulties this is never the case. You can't just 'pump tons of rounds into tougher enemies' or you'll get your balls rocked. I'm beginning to get the feeling that this mod will break all meta of the original.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Oh, it will. Absolutely. This mod shatters the meta of Killing Floor entirely, and intentionally, and that's my point. Though I understand what you're saying here. I was just generalizing the notion that "more hitpoints does not equal more difficulty". HoE is a balanced playing experience about protecting Demos and Sharpshooters and working as a team to effectively "handle" big zombies with the right equipment while mopping up trash with other perks. You can think of this mod as a partial conversion mod, it may help to comprehend just how different it is.

Bloats - No longer a "pop the head off and ignore" enemy. If their head is blown off, bloats now spew bile out of their neck hole perpetually until their bodies decay. Gross!

Breaks tactic of leaving a headless bloat so it doesn't pop. Interesting change... kinda neutral about it.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

You know, of everything I did in this mod... that's like my favorite thing. It's not only hilarious and dangerous, it certainly mixes up playstyles. It makes sniping a bloat's head off at long ranges a MUCH higher priority, since you don't have that luxury in close quarters. I love that change! Glad to see you're neutral about it, even with a "vanilla KF meta" mindset. I might just release that code as its own mutator.

Ghost - The Ghost is a stalker/crawler hybrid who turns incorporeal rather than invisible, rendering it immune to damage. It only pops out of its incorporeal state briefly while in mid-leap towards targets it attacks. Very distracting, but also very easily killed if timed correctly.

Just sounds cheap tbh.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Maybe! Haha, you're certainly blunt, which is good. That's a shame though, I was very happy with the way these zombies turned out. I thought they really added to the variety of "situations you can possibly deal with" since they can be hard to deal with for multiple reasons. The primary reason I developed them was to go hand-in-hand with friendly fire environments where you have to check your fire. Ghosts jump around erratically while going incorporeal, so your instinct is almost always to track them and shoot them when the window opens up. But with more expansive bullet penetration and friendly fire, you can't always take that shot!

Megapound - This giant fleshpound (using the elephant man model from the Circus event) boasts tremendous hitpoints and damage, will enrage at the slightest provocation, and will not have his rage abated by simply hitting a player. He's rather slow compared to his smaller brother, but requires coordination and combined fire to take down. Only shows up on Wave 10, a bit of a mini-boss.

Make sure you somehow back the summer event models up - their assets are usually removed at the end of the event.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Yeah, I have. Though generally the assets aren't removed, just the code. But if they're removed, I'll put up a package with those assets in it.

Well those are my 200 cents.

Well thanks for giving it. It really gave me an opportunity to think about this mod from a "Vanilla KF Meta" point of view. I really appreciate that, and it's motivated me to think about perhaps preserving a bit more of that meta in future versions of this mod.

It'll never be analogous to the KF meta, but that doesn't mean I need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

 

[Surly]

Yes, I enabled both mutators in WebAdmin before I even tried connecting the first time. I've even tried manually adding them both to ServerPackages to no avail (with ServerPerksX first). I'll go ahead and check the last modified date on my ServerPerksX.ini, and see if there's anything else that might have gone wrong in the install process, but I've uploaded everything twice now, overwriting everything both times.

Can you get your KillingFloor.log file? That'd help me out! Otherwise, I'll start going through my files and making sure everything is in there again.

If it's a client download issue, you might try using my relay to isolate the problem:

I'll package up the .uz2 files in the next version as well.

You need to upload the Halloween assets, using the package as is spams the logs with this error and doesn't allow anything to load.

Also, I don't know what the hillbilly stalkers are supposed to be, but their animations are.. weird.

 

[Surly]

Also, I don't know what the hillbilly stalkers are supposed to be, but their animations are.. weird.

They're just bound to the crawler animset. Their behavior was done entirely by Marco for the Arachnophobia mod, I only added some minor stuff to make it compliant with the rest of this mod and changed their mesh/texture.

Also, the version you grabbed doesn't have bOverrideStorySquads set to true in the ServerPerksX.ini file under the ZedList section. Without that, only default zeds show up in story mode. I re-uploaded the package again with that minor change, but it'll probably be easier to just add that line yourself anywhere near the bottom.

Ah, that makes sense. One thing I've noticed is sometimes their hitboxes seem a little off due to the animations, but it could be they just have that much health. Not a huge deal either way.

Another thing I've noticed, and I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I was playing as Highlander and ended up chasing several Arachna around the map for 10+ minutes (on more than one occasion) because they wouldn't attack me. It was rather comical, actually..
