Brute Female Fleshpound Hard Pat Jason Voorhees Shiver Tesla Husk



Features

• Adds new specimens: Tesla Husk and Ghost


• Balances community-made monsters (Brute, Shiver, Jason, HardPat) for better fitting in the game.


• Fully supports Female Fleshpound.


• Allows adding any custom zed you wish.


• Allows replacing any stock zed with custom one (or another stock zeds). You can replace Stalkers with Ghosts, Bloats with Sicks, Husks with Hellfires or even Clots with Gorefasts!


• Allows setting any end game boss you wish.


• Has the following built-in custom monster profiles (spawning rules): Brute, Jason, Shiver, FemaleFP, Tesla Husk.


• You can replace default custom monster with any other zed the same way as replacing stock zeds. For example, you can replace Tesla Husk with Fatale.


• Now you can you Balanced (SE - Scrn Edition) or Original versions of Brute, Jason and Shiver.


• Mutator has 4 config profiles. Each profile can be used for a different game config in KFMapVove.


• Each custom zed can be voted on or off via MUTATE VOTE ZED console command.


• Mutator isn't linked to any monster packages and can be used without any of them.

Differences from ScrnMonstersMut

• Configs are stored in Zeds.ini instead of ScrnBalance.ini.


• Mutator isn't linked to any monster packages and can be used without any of them. For example, if server doesn't use Brute, then no more need of installing Brute's assets on the server.


• If monster is disabled, then clients will not download its packages (code and assets) from the server.


• You can use original version of Brute/Jason/Shiver, if you don't like SE version.


• You can replace any zed with any other zed, including stock-stock, stock-custom, custom-custom, custom-stock. Examples:
  
  - replace Clot with Gorefast
  
  - replace Husk with Hellfire
  
  - replace Tesla Husk with Fatale
  
  - replace Fleshpound with Female Fleshpound
  
  - replace Female Fleshpound with Brute (less Brutes and they will spawn from wave 6)
  
  - replace Pat with a Clot ːClotː :trollface:

Four different configs



ZED Manager has 4 different configs setups in Zeds.ini. Each of them can be used for different game config in KFMapVote (click me for more details).

Technically there are 4 identical mutators in ScrnZedManager package: ZedManagerMut, ZedCfgA, ZedCfgB and ZedCfgC.

• ZedManagerMut has all custom and balanced zeds enabled by default.


• ZedCfgA offers original (unbalanced) version of zeds.


• ZedCfgB offers ScrN zeds only.


• ZedCfgC - user defined.

Actually you can alter all 4 configs, not only ZedCfgC, if you want so.



The next example (KFMapVote.ini) demonstrates using of different configs for different game types:

Code:

---

GameConfig=(GameClass="ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnGameType",Prefix="KF-",Acronym="SE",GameName="Balanced Zeds (Scrn Edition)",Mutators="ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut,ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnBalance,ScrnZedManager.ZedManagerMut",Options="Difficulty=7?GameLength=2")

GameConfig=(GameClass="ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnGameType",Prefix="KF-",Acronym="WPC",GameName="Original WPC Zeds Only",Mutators="ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut,ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnBalance,ScrnZedManager.ZedCfgA",Options="Difficulty=7?GameLength=2")

GameConfig=(GameClass="ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnGameType",Prefix="KF-",Acronym="D3",GameName="Doom3 with custom zed config",Mutators="ServerPerksMut.ServerPerksMut,ScrnBalanceSrv.ScrnBalance,ScrnZedManager.ZedCfgC,ScrnDoom3KF.Doom3Mutator,ScrnD3Ach.D3AchMut",Options="Difficulty=7?GameLength=2")

---

Custom configuration



If you want to customize zeds, then you need to change or add a new zed definition record (ZedDefs), for example:

Code:

---

ZedDefs=(Kind="BRUTE",Username=,Package="KFBruteFinal_014",ClassName="ScrnWPCBrute.ZombieBruteSE",bEnabled=True,bLocked=False)

---

ZedDefs record has the following settings:



Kind

There are 3 types of this value:

1. Replacing stock zed. In this case stock zed will be removed and new zed will be spawned instead of it. Avaliable values:
   
   CLOT, CRAWLER, GOREFAST, STALKER, SCRAKE, FLESHPOUND, BLOAT, SIREN, HUSK.


2. Replacing end game boss.
   
   Kind="BOSS"


3. Spawning zed using one of built-in custom zed profiles. Supported values:
   
   BRUTE, JASON, SHIVER, FFP, TESLAHUSK

Username

User-friendly name to be used in zed voting (e.g. MVOTE ZED BRUTE OFF). If omitted, Kind value will be used.



ClassName

Full name of zed class, including package name.



Package

Package to be added to ServerPackages, when this zed is enabled. If this value differs from package specified in ClassName, then both packages will be added to ServerPackages.



bEnabled

Controls, if zed should be added to the game. You can create zed profile but leave it disabled (bEnabled=False), allowing players to vote it on or off via MVOTE ZED console command.



bLocked

Locked zeds can not be voted on or off by the players. bLocked is not applied on Server Admins, who always are able to vote.





Below is listed default Zeds.ini config:

Whitelist Status

Mutator isn't whitelisted and will not be submitted to the whitelist, because it allows replacing FP with a Clot or Pat with a Bloat.



Requirements

ZED Manager uses ScrnVotingHandlerV4 (included).

Using of ServerPerks and ScrN Balance mutators is recommended but is not mandatory. It can be used on vanilla servers too, but what's the point of that, since it isn't whitelisted?
