Features

• Adds new specimens: Tesla Husk and Ghost
• Balances community-made monsters (Brute, Shiver, Jason, HardPat) for better fitting in the game.
• Fully supports Female Fleshpound, Shafter, Sick, Goreshank and Fatale.
• Allows adding any custom zed you wish.
• Allows replacing any stock zed with custom one (or another stock zeds). You can replace Stalkers with Ghosts, Bloats with Sicks, Husks with Hellfires or even Clots with Gorefasts!
• Allows setting any end game boss you wish.
• Has the following built-in custom monster profiles (spawning rules): Brute, Jason, Shiver, FemaleFP, Tesla Husk.
• You can replace default custom monster with any other zed the same way as replacing stock zeds. For example, you can replace Tesla Husk with Fatale.
• Now you can you Balanced (SE - Scrn Edition) or Original versions of Brute, Jason and Shiver.
• Mutator has 4 config profiles. Each profile can be used for a different game config in KFMapVove.
• Each custom zed can be voted on or off via MUTATE VOTE ZED console command.
• Mutator isn't linked to any monster packages and can be used without any of them.

Differences from ScrnMonstersMut

• Configs are stored in Zeds.ini instead of ScrnBalance.ini.
• Mutator isn't linked to any monster packages and can be used without any of them. For example, if server doesn't use Brute, then no more need of installing Brute's assets on the server.
• If monster is disabled, then clients will not download its packages (code and assets) from the server.
• You can use original version of Brute/Jason/Shiver, if you don't like SE version.
• You can replace any zed with any other zed, including stock-stock, stock-custom, custom-custom, custom-stock. Examples:
  - replace Clot with Gorefast
  - replace Husk with Hellfire
  - replace Tesla Husk with Fatale
  - replace Fleshpound with Female Fleshpound
  - replace Female Fleshpound with Brute (less Brutes and they will spawn from wave 6)
  - replace Pat with a Clot ːClotː :trollface:

Four different configs

ZED Manager has 4 different configs setups in Zeds.ini. Each of them can be used for different game config in KFMapVote (click me for more details).
Technically there are 4 identical mutators in ScrnZedManager package: ZedManagerMut, ZedCfgA, ZedCfgB and ZedCfgC.

• ZedManagerMut has all custom and balanced zeds enabled by default.
• ZedCfgA offers original (unbalanced) version of zeds.
• ZedCfgB offers ScrN zeds only.
• ZedCfgC - user defined.

Actually you can alter all 4 configs, not only ZedCfgC, if you want so.

The next example (KFMapVote.ini) demonstrates using of different configs for different game types:

GameConfig=(GameClass="ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnGameType",Prefix="KF-",Acronym="SE",GameName="Balanced Zeds (Scrn Edition)",Mutators="ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut,ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnBalance,ScrnZedManager.[u]ZedManagerMut[/u]",Options="Difficulty=7?GameLength=2")
GameConfig=(GameClass="ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnGameType",Prefix="KF-",Acronym="WPC",GameName="Original WPC Zeds Only",Mutators="ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut,ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnBalance,ScrnZedManager.[u]ZedCfgA[/u]",Options="Difficulty=7?GameLength=2")
GameConfig=(GameClass="ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnGameType",Prefix="KF-",Acronym="D3",GameName="Doom3 with custom zed config",Mutators="ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut,ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnBalance,ScrnZedManager.[u]ZedCfgC[/u],ScrnDoom3KF.Doom3Mutator,ScrnD3Ach.D3AchMut",Options="Difficulty=7?GameLength=2")

Custom configuration

If you want to customize zeds, then you need to change or add a new zed definition record (ZedDefs), for example:

ZedDefs=(Kind="BRUTE",Username=,Package="KFBruteFinal_014",ClassName="ScrnWPCBrute.ZombieBruteSE",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)

ZedDefs record has the following settings:

Kind
There are 3 types of this value:

1. Replacing stock zed. In this case stock zed will be removed and new zed will be spawned instead of it. Available values:
   CLOT, CRAWLER, GOREFAST, STALKER, SCRAKE, FLESHPOUND, BLOAT, SIREN, HUSK.
2. Replacing end game boss.
   Kind="BOSS"
3. Spawning zed using one of built-in custom zed profiles. Supported values:
   BRUTE, JASON, SHIVER, FFP, TESLAHUSK, SICK, SHAFTER, GORESHANK, FATALE

Username
User-friendly name to be used in zed voting (e.g. MVOTE ZED BRUTE OFF). If omitted, Kind value will be used.

ClassName
Full name of zed class, including package name.

Package
Package to be added to ServerPackages, when this zed is enabled. If this value differs from package specified in ClassName, then both packages will be added to ServerPackages.

bEnabled
Controls, if zed should be added to the game. You can create zed profile but leave it disabled (bEnabled=False), allowing players to vote it on or off via MVOTE ZED console command.

bLocked
Locked zeds can not be voted on or off by the players. bLocked is not applied on Server Admins, who always are able to vote.

Whitelist Status
Mutator isn't whitelisted and will not be submitted to the whitelist, because it allows replacing FP with a Clot or Pat with a Bloat.

Requirements
ZED Manager uses ScrnVotingHandlerV4 (included).
Using of ServerPerks and ScrN Balance mutators is recommended but is not mandatory. It can be used on vanilla servers too, but what's the point of that, since it isn't whitelisted?

 

[FluX]

[andoy]

So i have all the Fatale, Sick, Shafter, Goreshank files. also PSEUDOGIGANT files

this is what i add in the zeds.ini?

ZedDefs=(Kind="FATALE",Username=,Package="Fatale",ClassName="Fatale.MutAddFatale",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)
ZedDefs=(Kind="SICK",Username=,Package="HMSickMut",ClassName="HMSickMut.SickMut",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)
ZedDefs=(Kind="SHAFTER",Username=,Package="Shafter",ClassName="Shafter.ShafterMut",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)

Well for one you're making the classname the mutator and not the zed class

 

[andoy]

Well for one you're making the classname the mutator and not the zed class

Edit: Damn.. i feel so stupid.. thanks forrest... so it should be like this:
And.. it works all 4 of them spawn.

ZedDefs=(Kind="FATALE",Username=,Package=,ClassName="Fatale.ZombieFatale",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)
ZedDefs=(Kind="SICK",Username=,Package=,ClassName="HMSickMut.ZombieSick",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)

ZedDefs=(Kind="GORESHANK",Username=,Package=,ClassName="GoreShank.ZombieGoreShank",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)

Now I am also trying to add other custom monsters, but they don't have any profiles? or configurations how do i make them work?

ZedDefs=(Kind="BASTARD",Username=,Package=,ClassName="Bastard.ZombieBastard",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)
ZedDefs=(Kind="HELLFIRE",Username=,Package=,ClassName="Hellfire.ZombieHellFire",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)

I wonder.
I'd like to use ZED manager and Super Zombie together.
In case, How do i set?

You need to place Super Zombies before ZED manager in the mutator line. Then both will work together.

 

[shaitan]

Today's Tripwire update broke this mutator as well on my servers.

 

[mmnicolas]

Try disabling the Ghost in the meantime

 

[shaitan]

I'll try that, but the server just does that hanging thing when the mutator is on.
Btw on spawning a monster in it has no textures, the standard ones from the list here(shiver,brute,FFP, etc).

 

[poosh]

ZombieStalker, as any other zeds, is an abstract class now. ZombieStalker_STANDARD is introduced. Every modification of standard zeds (Hard Pat, Super Zombies etc.) are broken now and requires recompilation.

 

[DMN666]

Will summer zeds be coming back?

Not during this event. We are still looking at our future plans for KF1.

Nice!

irony, they gave you something, and they take the rest away.

Edit: why would they change/add this in for? What was wrong with the zombie scripts before?

 

[poosh]

Edit: why would they change/add this in for? What was wrong with the zombie scripts before?

Nothing. They just optimized the code. Like they did with melee weapons last year... breaking every mod. Tbh it isn't so big deal: simple package rebuild solve almost almost everything.

 

[DMN666]

They broke all the old mission maps...
I literally just lost 75% of my fav servers.

 

[poosh]

Mutator updated for compatibility with KF v1059!
You need to re-download only ScrnMonsters.

 

[shaitan]

You're fast Poosh. Going to update scrn/tsc/monsters in abit here.

<edit>
I've updated twice just to be sure. No matter how I do it, the zed manager mut will not work. Anytime it is put in the command line, it just hangs the server. Here's some logs if you want to see:

TSC mode, without the zed manager works fine.

Scrn mode without zed manager works fine.

Scrn Mode with zed manager breaks.

TSC mode with zed manager breaks.

Just Scrn + Zed manager mutators in, and it breaks.

I hope they're done breaking our servers now. -.-

 

[mmnicolas]

Your mutators are loaded in a weird order, I'd review your startup script and voting options

Also, FFP v082, pretty sure that's the one who crashes clients without the karma file
