[h1]Description[/h1]
Server-side mutator that makes bosses truly random.

[h1]What does it mean?[/h1]
Some players use the command to predict the boss. Here's the command:
[code]getall kfgamereplicationinfo bossindex[/code]
Copy this command, open the console (~), paste the command and press Enter.
In response, you will receive a string, the last number of which is the boss index:
[code]
0 = Hans Volter
1 = Patriarch
2 = King Fleshpound
3 = Abomination
4 = Matriarch
[/code]
This is possible because the boss is chosen at the beginning of the game.

[b]This mutator sets a random boss index right before the start of the boss wave and thus makes the command above completely useless.[/b]

[h1]Whitelisted?[/h1]
No. This mod is not whitelisted and will de-rank your server. Any XP gained will not be saved.

[h1]Usage (single player)[/h1]
[olist]
[*]Subscribe to this mutator;
[*]Start KF2;
[*]Open console (~) and input:
[b]open KF-BioticsLab?Mutator=TRB.TRBMut[/b]
(replace the map and add the parameters you need)
[*]<Enter>.
[/olist]

[h1]Usage (server)[/h1]
[b]Note:[/b] [i]If you don't understand what is written here, read the article [url=https://wiki.killingfloor2.com/index.php?title=Dedicated_Server_(Killing_Floor_2)][u]Dedicated Server (KF2 wiki)[/u][/url] before following these instructions.[/i]
[olist]
[*]Open your [b]PCServer-KFEngine.ini[/b] / [b]LinuxServer-KFEngine.ini[/b];
[*]Find the [b][IpDrv.TcpNetDriver][/b] section and make sure that there is a line (add if not):
[b]DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload[/b]
❗️ If there are several [b]DownloadManagers=[/b] then the line above should be the first ❗️
[*]Add the following string to the [b][OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks][/b] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
[b]ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=3047331564[/b]
[*]Start the server and wait while the mutator is downloading;
[*]Add mutator to server start parameters: [b]?Mutator=TRB.TRBMut[/b] and restart the server.
[/olist]

[h1]Important setup information[/h1]
The config should be created on first start, but now the game contains a bug that initializes the config values ​​randomly if they are not explicitly set. Thus, the config may have incorrect values ​​or not be created at all.
So if you are using this mutator for the first time, I highly recommend doing the following:
[olist]
[*]Create (modify) [b]KFTRB.ini[/b] manually. Put the following content there:
[b][TRB.TRB]
Version=0[/b]
[*]Start the game/server with TRB to generate the contents of the config.
[*]Close the game/server.
[/olist]
[b]Right now this is the only way to correctly create the default config.[/b]
Unfortunately I can't do anything about it because it's a game problem (not mutator). I hope TWI fixes this someday.

[h1]Setup (KFTRB.ini)[/h1]
Honestly, you don't need to edit anything in the config, [b]just make sure you create the default config correctly[/b].
The config exists because I needed it during development ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[h1]Notes[/h1]
📌 Even if you use this mod, the boss prediction command can sometimes give correct predictions, just by chance. And that's okay. After all, this is a real random :)
