this all sounds very strange tbh

Alright, gonna take a look at everything and create a new reply shortly. I did ask the other mod creator as well, and he said his friend had the same issue which was weird because on his second PC everything ran fine, but not on his main one

P.S.: Pay attention to my screenshot. When you look for weapons from the mod, look for them in the ALL tab (not in the PERKS tab for the survivalist). Only half of the weapons in this mod belong to the survivalist perk, so you will not see all the mod weapons there.

So maybe everything is fine with you, you are just looking in the wrong place.

If you remove all vanilla weapons in the CTI settings and add weapons from weapons of destruction, then this is what the list of survivalist weapons looks like:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3315344042

And this is what the list of all weapons looks like:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3315324012

It's a big difference, isn't it?

I tested this mod and it works correctly, all 27 mod weapons are loaded and are present in the trader:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3315324012

CTI is not that complicated, if the names are specified correctly and the necessary files are in the cache - CTI will add them. If there are no files, then there is nothing to add

So maybe you should try to clear the cache and download the weapon pack again (who knows, maybe it was not downloaded completely in your case?). After that, carefully repeat the process again

I tried to set the bDisableItemLimitCheck to true just to see if that might have been to problem, turns out it wasn't.

Would the logs be in KillingFloor2 > KFGame > Logs?

Also started looking through the mod files and comparing to what is put in the [CTI.AddItems] and some things seem to be missing from both sides. There are some things in the mod files that I can't find in the added section, but there are also files in the added section of CTI that I cannot find in the mod files.

I went off of what was said from the other mod dev, being to copy down the Item=ASOT list and paste into the CTI.AddItems. Just unsure what is happening

But you still need to look at the log. It's hard for me to say the reason without it. Your description of the problem sounds very much like hitting a limit, but at the same time it's very strange, since there are about 150 weapons in the vanilla game, and adding another ten from the mod certainly won't make the problem. It's still much less than 256.

Regarding cheap items at the trader:
Trader items are sorted by price and the most expensive ones will be at the end of the list. With the default settings, CTI will stop adding items when it reaches 256 items (to avoid bugs related to this), so the first 256 cheapest items will be listed, and the remaining and most expensive items will not

This is definitely not related to the price. But it may be related to the 256 item limit for the trader

To find out exactly what the problem is, you should read the messages from CTI in the log

If CTI was unable to load a weapon, it will write about it in the log. You will also see in the log how many items the trader has with your settings

If the limit is the issue, the bDisableItemLimitCheck and bApplyPatch parameters in the config can help you (see more about them in the description)

I could be wrong about the price ceiling, but I am unsure what could be causing them not to show because the only thing they have in common is that they are above 2500, everything else from the mod seems to be working fine

Sweet, thank you. I got the mod I wanted to work, and I do apologize again if I wasted your time with the obvious stuff.

Last question though, I am running the Weapons Of Destruction mod and some of the weapons are not loading into the trader I think because some of their prices exceed the 2,500 price ceiling. Is there a way I can fix that so all the weapons that were added will show in the trader?

It also makes sense to look at what is written in the log.
The log is located here:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Logs\
Usually, logs of all game launches are saved there, so if there are several files, you need to sort them by date and open the most recent one.

CTI writes everything it does to the log, so if CTI is loaded, there will be lines like this:
https://i.imgur.com/qAB6WFr.png
If CTI (for some reason) did not load, then these lines will not be there.

Inside CTI.ini there should be only what is specified in the description. This is what it looks like:
https://i.imgur.com/mG7N1Yq.png

After starting the game with the mutator, the config changes like this:
https://i.imgur.com/LynEVrh.png

Make sure you typed the command in the console correctly, or better yet, use CTRL+C / CTRL+V. Because if you make a typo, the game will simply start without a mutator (and therefore the mutator will do nothing), and the game will not report it in any way, you will not see any errors in the interface

Correction, I found the group of files that were listed as well as the CTI.u that was in the Cache.

The only thing I am confused about is what exactly is supposed to be in the CTI.ini file. I apologize in advance if it is obvious, but I am not exactly an expert at modding and am quite new when it comes to altering files instead of having a secondary app control the mods

Ok, so I have found the files. Is there anything that is supposed to be inside of the KFCTI.ini?

Everything else seems to be there, including the CTI.u file. Maybe I am just confused a bit, but I figured I would ask in case I am doing something wrong

The correct folder for CTI.ini for single player looks like this:
https://i.imgur.com/IaiAteQ.png

If you have ini files there like in my screenshot, then you are in the right place

Hey. If the config is not generated, it may be due to the fact that the mutator is not downloaded (for some reason).

Check if you have the CTI.u file in the cache, it should be in one of the subfolders along this path:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Cache\2830826239\

And write what you find out. Then we'll figure it out further

Hey, I am a bit confused on the instructions for this. I was at least able to get the "open KF-BioticsLab?Mutator=CTI.Mut" to work and I checked the trader to be sure, but here is where I am confused:

Is the KFCTI supposed to be a folder or a KFCTI.ini file? I am currently trying it as a file, and inside I have this layout:

[CTI.CTI]
Version=0

I did it as directed, but have not seen any generation inside of the file that would allow me to move to the next step.

Am I doing something wrong or maybe supposed to be looking for a different new file that could have generated?

I solved it. It was a code order issue.

I only get the error below when I add workshops with weapons folders in the BrewedPC\Packages folder and workshops with weapons folders in the BrewedPC\Packages\Weapons folder to cti, do I have to do the same with the weapons folder path?

my kf2 game log


Warning: Warning, Failed to load 'Class None.': Failed to find object 'Class None.'
Warning: Warning, Failed to find object 'Class None.'

Warning: Warning, Failed to load 'Texture2D None.None': Failed to find object

this is cti mutator error? or not?

@GenZmeY When I added a weapon through cti, there is an error where I can't see the weapon even if I buy it. This isn't a mutator problem, is it?

help theres no kfcti.ini

You are welcome

you were right, it seems that the unofficial patch is not completely compatible with one of the weapons and CTI. I have deactivated the patch for now and am now at 200 custom weapons without crashes. If I ever get bored and have a lot of time I will go through all the weapons one by one with the patch to find the problem. thanks for the help

Thanks I will test all these things and see if I can find the problem

P.S.: If you use an unofficial patch, it will be better to receive the log without it, because it hides a lot of information from the log

P.S.S: I also cannot guarantee the compatibility of my mods with the unofficial patch. I have never tested them together (well, maybe except SML). And besides, the unofficial patch seriously affects the game and only Forrest knows how it works

Unfortunately, this is useless for understanding the problem, just a message that a shutdown was triggered after an error
Perhaps there is something interesting there before these lines? I might take a look if you give me the log

I think it makes sense to try two things: first, turn off the preload and see if there is a problem. Secondly, test all the added weapons and see if there are any broken ones - buy all the weapons one by one, use them a little and see if it crashes the server. If you find a broken weapon, this should be excluded from the config

Regarding bApplyPatch - this replaces the byte type with int in the functions of some classes, allowing you to correctly process lists of more than 255 items. That's all, so don't expect anything more here

Additionally, I remove 65 of the vanilla weapons and am now at 203 trader items. I know that I don't need bApplyPatch=True, but I also tried it with the patch and it doesn't seem to have any effect on the crashes

I have tried it on several custom but also vanilla maps, server does not crash without CTI, with CTI server crashes regularly but not every time I change maps

hi, my server crashes with CTI sometimes on the second or third map change after a game ends. It's probably not your mod but one of the 139 weapons that I added. Strangely, all 139 seem to preload without any problems and I can use all the new weapons without errors and without the server crashing mid game. The server only crashes when changing maps after a game ends and the logs end with: Exit: Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Exit: Executing UWindowsClient::ShutdownAfterError
Any ideas?

I cannot get this mod to work

I add Version=0 to the ini file but it doesn't create anymore text in this ini file.

I have gone over your server instructions 4 times doing EXACTLY as you say and it will not work. Any ideas of anything else I can try?

figured how to change map and all that but how when i load in change the waves, diff and shit

is there a youtube video for this. i cant figure it out at all. like where and how do i put this in the file [CTI.CTI]
Version=0
etc

If you're talking about the number of actions in "Usage", then thank TWI for breaking the initialization of config variables. This list was much shorter before when initialization worked as expected

to do what?

is this the simplest way to do this lmao?

got it, thanks

It's similar it just includes the OneDrive between the username and documents:

C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config

it's ok, glad it was resolved

Which config path turned out to be correct for Windows 11? I think this might help other people running kf2 on windows 11

I have not used win11 and I'm very surprised that the paths may differ in this case. These are things that haven't changed for a long time after all

It is. Sorry for the confusion!

omg O_o
is this windows 11?

I found it. The correct file location is in the "OneDrive" version of my Documents folder. God I hate how Windows does that sh*t. Thanks for your help!

Hey

Everything seems to be correct. Maybe besides the fact that you don’t need the file in steamapps, it won’t be used anyway (however, it won’t interfere)

The only thing that comes to my mind now is that during startup you still don’t have the downloaded mutator for some reason

I can suggest the following:
1. Check again that you are subscribed to this mutator.
2. Check that the mutator has been downloaded (you should have a CTI.u file in one of the subfolders here: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Cache\2830826239\)
3. If you have CTI.u, it’s also worth looking if there’s anything interesting in the log after trying to start the game with a mutator, it’s here: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Logs\ . Perhaps it will become clearer what is going wrong. If the contents of the log look unclear, you can show it to me and I will help you figure it out

Hello. I am trying to get this to work in Single Player mode and for some reason the default KFCTI.ini content will not generate.

I created two .ini files:
C:\Users\<my_username>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFCTI.ini
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor2\KFGame\Config\KFCTI.ini

The only thing these include are:

[CTI.CTI]
Version=0

I have opened the game and inputted the following command:
open KF-BioticsLab?Mutator=CTI.Mut

I have begun the round, then exited to desktop.

Neither files have generated any content. What am I doing wrong? Sorry this is all new to me.

The client and server must be using the same version of the mutator for this to work, you need to figure out why in your case they are different

I have no idea how your server is configured so I can't give you a ready-made solution, but the plan for you is something like this:
1. Make sure that when connecting to your server, the client downloads only one copy of CTI.u and this is the latest version
2. Make sure that your server is configured to receive and distribute CTI.u in only one way (only through workshop or only through redirect, but not both)
3. If your server uses workshop, make sure that its subscriptions have only one version of CTI.u (for example this one, id 2830826239)
4. Make sure that the server uses only one copy of CTI.u and this is the latest version (check the server cache folder, check the BrewedPC server folder)

I made it clear to them that the cache files still cannot access my server. Could you please tell me how to solve it? Thank you

I am a server set up on Windows, and when my friends join my server, they will be prompted with CTI version mismatch, but it is strange that I have no problem linking it myself. Thank you very much for answering my question! Thank you!

This error means that the CTI version on the client and on the server does not match. This may depend on your subscriptions and/or how the server is configured.
Clearing the cache on the client usually helps; it is located here:
C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Cache\
If this does not help, contact the administrator of the server you are trying to connect to

Why prompt CTI not matching version

already did it :)
