# KF2-SafeMutLoader
|
||
I've [submitted whitelist requests](https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?threads/whitelisting-mods-and-mutators.120340/page-3#post-2353663) but Tripware won't do anything about it...
|
||
I think mods can save this dying game and that's why I'm posting this.
|
||
**With SML, you can use non-whitelisted mutators and still be ranked.**
|
||
|
||
# Disclaimer
|
||
**SML only uses KF2 and UnrealScript features, it doesn't change game executables or RAM or anything like that, so it's not a hack and it doesn't violate [Killing Floor 2 EULA](https://store.steampowered.com/eula/232090_eula_0).**
|
||
|
||
However, [AccessPlus](https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?threads/utility-admin-access-plus-manager.118740) is also not a hack for the same reason, but it is constantly banned in the steam workshop. Why? I dont know.
|
||
|
||
**So use this at your own risk!**
|
||
|
||
# Usage (server only)
|
||
1. Add SML to your server. There are two ways:
|
||
* **without workshop:** download `SML.u` from [releases](https://github.com/GenZmeY/KF2-SafeMutLoader/releases) and put it to `KFGame/BrewedPC`
|
||
* **with workshop:** Use the instructions below to build the SML and upload it to your workshop, then subscribe your server to SML
|
||
2. Add `SML.Mut` **first** to your list of mutators, example:
|
||
```
|
||
?Mutator=SML.Mut,AAL.AALMut,YAS.YASMut,CTI.CTIMut,CVC.CVCMut,ZedSpawner.ZedSpawnerMut
|
||
```
|
||
(add/remove **compatible** mutators you need)
|
||
|
||
⚠️ Doesn't work in single player
|
||
⚠️ SML must be first in the mutators list or it won't work.
|
||
⚠️ SML only has an effect when **compatible** mutators are used (the list below). If you use incompatible mutators you will lose ranked status.
|
||
⚠️ SML is a server-side mutator, clients never download it. Therefore, no one will know about you using SML if you don’t tell yourself (or if you share with the whole world the `BrewedPC` folder where you put the SML, lol).
|
||
⚠️ SML is incompatible with [AccessPlus](https://github.com/th3-z/kf2-acpp) and other mods based on it. If you need something from there, implement it as an SML compatible mutator using [developer guide](https://github.com/GenZmeY/KF2-SafeMutLoader/blob/master/DEV.md).

Purchasing a DLC weapon will unrank the server if currently there is no player with the purchased DLC. This can be bypassed by replacing all DLC weapons with their clones.
|
||
Since KF2 [v1133](https://wiki.killingfloor2.com/index.php?title=Update_1133_(Killing_Floor_2)) the content preload causes the server to unrank for some reason. Disable it in CTI settings (`bPreloadContent=False`) to stay ranked.

🟡 [Zed Spawner](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811290931)

Since KF2 [v1133](https://wiki.killingfloor2.com/index.php?title=Update_1133_(Killing_Floor_2)) zed preload causes the server to unrank for some reason. Disable it in ZedSpawner settings (`bPreloadContentServer=False`) to stay ranked.

# Making SML-compatible mutators
|
||
See [developer guide](https://github.com/GenZmeY/KF2-SafeMutLoader/blob/master/DEV.md)
|
||
|
||
# Build & Upload
|
||
**Note:** If you want to build/test/brew/publish a mutator without git-bash and/or scripts, follow [these instructions](https://tripwireinteractive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KF2SW/pages/26247172/KF2+Code+Modding+How-to) instead of what is described here.
|
||
1. Install [Killing Floor 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/232090/Killing_Floor_2/), Killing Floor 2 - SDK and [git for windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win);
|
||
2. open git-bash and go to any folder where you want to store sources:
|
||
`cd <ANY_FOLDER_YOU_WANT>`
|
||
3. Clone this repository and go to the source folder:
|
||
`git clone https://github.com/GenZmeY/KF2-SafeMutLoader && cd KF2-SafeMutLoader`
|
||
4. Download dependencies:
|
||
`git submodule init && git submodule update`
|
||
5. Build and upload to steam workshop:
|
||
`./tools/builder -cbu`
|
||
6. Find `SafeMutLoader` in your workshop and change `Visibility` to `Unlisted` so your server can download it (don't use `Public` visibility)

If you make a mod compatible with SML I'll be happy to add it to the list of compatible mutators.
