Beta Release Rebalance Mod
- Thread starter xmrmeow
- Start date
Hi there, you seem to be the one who might help. The problem is that I don't even know where to start learning about mods and stuff, there is no modding tutorial on official wik, google didn't help either.
Can you please give me a simple example?
Let's say I need to increase starting ammo of DBS.
I assume that I need this file:
\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor2\Development\Src\KFGameContent\Classes\KFWeap_Shotgun_DoubleBarrel.uc
And in this file, I need this string:
InitialSpareMags[0]=11
What exactly do I need to do next?
If I will modify it right there I will just modify the game itself, but I need to make a mod, and I need to somehow make these .u and (?) .upk files.

what i used for this was a gameinfo mod. They're better for larger scale changes since theres a good deal of setup you have to do to get it started, but I prefer it over mutators.
It's a lengthier process than mutators, but I find the coding part to be alot easier to figure out for gameinfo mods, and once you get a bunch of stuff set up, editting existing weapons, perks, adding new weapons, etc, becomes a quick and easy process.
If you have more questions feel free to ask or check out my other thread explaining how to make gameinfo mods in greater detail http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=116230
I've been pretty busy with school work recently so I might take like a week to answer.
- To edit the doublebarrel with a gameinfo mod you'd need to make an a class file that extends double barrel and change it's default properties
- Then you need to make a weapdef class for it (see other weapdef classes for examples, I recommend making it extend the weapdef of the original double barrel unless you intend on changing all the properties)
- Then you need to make a new package in the SDK with a copy of the trader arch, except in the copy you made, change the original double barrel to your double barrel
- Then you need make a .int file that contains a description for your double barrel or the shop won't know how to sort it and the text in the menu will be all messed up.

I have a request for OP.
Would you be able to do a type of tutorial to maybe help explain the basics of how you made these changes in a video format for modders who best learn visually?
Maybe in sections like "How to modify weapon damage" to "How to modify ZED damage" ETC.

Could you be more specific to where I should add:
"?game=Rebalance.RebalanceInfo"?
Which .ini file?
I am new to dedicated servers, got custom maps running and I'd like to add your rebalance too!

If you open your KF2Server.bat file with a text editor, you can edit the command line arguements. ?game=Rebalance.RebalanceInfo would just go at the end (or after any other arguments)
Example command line with my mod added
start .\Binaries\win64\kfserver KF-BioticsLab?adminpassword=123?game=Rebalance.RebalanceInfo
I believe you can also do it by changing default game type in PCServer-KFGame.ini equal to Rebalance.RebalanceInfo.

Would it be possible to actually change the damage done to a zed depending on where you hit the zed? Like a shot to the leg does 50 while a shot to the chest does 100 for example, is that possible to mod in, since the mod I wanna do would maybe require small details like that?
