Killing Floor sandbox (custom game) settings

These settings are in KillingFloor.ini, in the [KFmod.KFGameType] section.

# Core parameters

• KFGameLength — number of waves: 0 — 4 waves; 1 — 7; 2 — 10; 3 — custom wave count
• StartingCash — starting cash when joining the map (only used when KFGameLength=3)
• MinRespawnCash — minimum cash when respawning after death (only used when KFGameLength=3)
• bUseEndGameBoss — true enables the Patriarch at the end of the game, false disables it
• LobbyTimeout — delay (seconds) in the menu before the map starts
• bEnemyHealthBars — true shows mob health bars for all players (only used when KFGameLength=3)
• MaxZombiesOnce — maximum number of mobs on the map at once (only used when KFGameLength=3)
• InitialWave — wave configuration index where the game starts (only used when KFGameLength=3)
• FinalWave — wave configuration index where the game ends (only used when KFGameLength=3)
• FriendlyFireScale — damage dealt between players. Express percentages as numbers, e.g. 100% = 1.0, 10% = 0.1

# Extra keys when KFGameLength=3

The following lines only matter when KFGameLength=3:

# MonsterClasses

MonsterClasses=(MClassName="KFChar.ZombieClot",Mid="A") — each line describes one monster type that can appear in the game:

• MClassName — the mob’s “name”. See the relevant section (“Mutants”) for details
• Mid — letter index (case-insensitive), shorthand for that mob in the rest of the config (see below)

# MonsterSquad

MonsterSquad=4A1G — mobs spawn in squads. Each line defines one squad’s composition. For example, 4A1G means four mobs with index “A” and one with index “G”.

# Waves

Waves[0]=(WaveMask=196611,WaveMaxMonsters=20,WaveDuration=255,
WaveDifficulty=0.000000) — each line defines one wave’s settings.

• [0] — wave number. Referenced by InitialWave and FinalWave
• WaveMaxMonsters — number of mobs per player in that wave
• WaveMask — numeric code for which mob squads can spawn on this wave. It is computed as follows. Suppose we have three squads:

text
MonsterSquad=4A
MonsterSquad=4A1G
MonsterSquad=2B

and we want only squads from lines 2 and 3 (MonsterSquad=4A1G and MonsterSquad=2B). For each squad, write 1 if it should appear on this wave and 0 if not:

text
0 MonsterSquad=4A
1 MonsterSquad=4A1G
1 MonsterSquad=2B

Then read the 0/1 sequence from bottom to top, left to right:

text
110

Treat that as a binary number and convert it to decimal to get the WaveMask for this wave.

You can use the Windows calculator:

• Open it and switch to Scientific mode
• Set the base to binary (Bin) and enter 110
• Switch to decimal (Dec) to get 6 — that is the value to put in WaveMask
