Man the difficulty scaling on this game is intense. I've spent a few days playing Beginner and it's no longer much of a challenge for me, so I figured I'd jump into a Normal mode game. Yeah, I got completely brutalized. I might as well have been glaring at them for how little my Bullpup did.

Is there a way to tell how much damage people did to the Patriarch? It would be nice to see how effective I am compared to my teammates.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?186sscepc49a1fi [.7z, 169MB] Here's a version that can be installed just by extracting into the killingfloor folder, all the maps are already unzipped with their files placed into the appropriate folders (Maps/Music/etc). I compressed it using 7-Zip because that's what the cool kids use these days and to make it small enough to fit on Mediafire. I would have been far too lazy to do this if Insert name here hadn't put all the archives together in one package, so thanks!

Guillermus posted:Yeah i noticed, so ill ask for Alereon's permission to re-upload his file so we get 2 different hosts. Nerdy compression notes: I'm actually really surprised how much better 7-Zip compressed these files compared to ZIP/RAR. The ZIP was 211MB, a RAR was 201MB, and the 7Z was 173MB. Uncompressed size is 504MB. NTFS compression reduced on-disk size to 311MB. Alereon fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Jan 6, 2012 |

Is there a way to find out what wave a server is on before I join? It kind of sucks to be joining in on later waves without any money. How do you guys generally get games together?

This is pretty cheap, but an easy way to get pistol headshot practice and level your Sharpshooter skill. I wouldn't spend hours grinding, but a couple rounds to push me into Level 3 wasn't too painful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vUyt0ujYJE

suboptimal posted:On another note, how do I directly join a GOTKF server? Is there a way to manually join a server by putting in the IP address? I'm looking forward to not playing with dumbasses. A couple of random questions: Do pipebombs do full damage if I trigger them with other explosives? In other words, if I see that the patriarch is going to charge right past my pipebombs, can I lob a grenade at them to detonate them when he gets there? Is there a way to disable those lovely tripwire/unreal/etc intro movies? How about the splash screen? I deleted the "Movies" folder, but that only takes out the loud and annoying ads that play on the spawn screen.

Regarding starting on Beginner, I'll just say that I've been gifting my friends KF the last couple days and Normal games have NOT been fun for them until they were a couple hours in and knew the ropes. I mean if you have a good group of people playing you can probably absorb a couple newbies, but especially now if you're playing on pubbie servers there's going to be a lot of barely semi-competent people. On KF2, the one thing I REALLY want is some sort of lobby system. The L4D2 system would work perfectly for KF, you shouldn't need to browse servers for a 6-player game. A new engine would also be nice, I don't really mind the textures/models much but it seems like effects run in 16-bit color despite everything being set to 32 (I checked in the .ini files), and I would like in-game support for FXAA.

Note that the IJC Weapons Pack breaks perks, you can get stuck on a perk or get stuck perkless, both of which really suck. I think it even persists on other servers you join until you restart the game.

It's not an every time thing, but a bug that pops up from time to time. According to their forums they are still investigating but can't find the cause.

The one thing this game needs that would make it vastly better and more playable is an l4d2-style lobby system.

I don't care if they reuse every art asset in a new engine, I just want a game where everything doesn't have a bizarre greenish or reddish tint due to rendering with low color precision.

Maybe that was what I was seeing, I thought the dart just wasn't landing (it looked like it was disappearing in a puff before hitting the target, like the white puff when you miss).

Zero Star posted:This probably sounds really dumb, but when I'm browsing through servers, what does "Perks enabled" mean? Does it mean that levelling is tracked like normal (as is the case with nearly every server I've ever played on), or does it have something to do with custom mods that use their own levelling system?

Don't attempt to host your own server. You should only be playing on perk-enabled dedicated servers, as you want your progress saved. All boxes at the bottom of the server browser must be checked, and be sure to set an appropriate difficulty level. Start on beginner to learn whats going on, you'll quickly realize there's no challenge and need to set the difficulty to Normal at least. The more people you play with the more enemies there are and the more health they have. There are no crosshairs because you use the iron sights. Some of the guns provide iron sights that are functionally equivalent to crosshairs (the Bullpup, for example). These are the Red Orchestra guys, I don't think any of their games have ever had crosshairs.

Make sure you are firing in bursts with the Bullpup, that's the only way to hit things and do reasonable damage. As you gain a few levels the recoil will really settle down as well. Once you get to the M4 I'd switch to semi-auto mode, though at low levels you will still need 2-3 shot bursts to do decent damage. Edit: Regarding the M4 vs the AK, I guess the AK is the objectively superior gun, but I hate the ironsights so always just use the M4 until I can afford the SCAR.

Vlad the Impaler (nailgun) is the basically The Gun for BioticsLab. Really, it excels at any situation where you can get zeds to line up in a hallway, especially one with a rear wall. You do have to have the penetration (and thus levels) to make use of it though. This is the same situation where the fire shotgun does well (again with a support specialist), because you can set a lot of zeds on fire if they line up and you have penetration.
