Controlled Difficulty Wiki

I describe one of the most popular mods, Controlled Difficulty.
There are many versions and their features to know.

§1. Intro

Controlled Difficulty is a custom game mode that allows players to control difficulty.
For example, you can increase the total amount of zeds, let larges spawn on an early wave, and disable EDARs' spawn.

Advance preparation

In most cases, it is necessary to edit the file "KFEngine.ini" otherwise you would face a sad bugsplat screen.

1. Open the file "KFEngine.ini".
   This is usually located following the directory.
   

   Document\\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config
   

2. Find these lines.
   

   MaxObjectsNotConsideredByGC=179220
   SizeOfPermanentObjectPool=179220
   

3. Change values like this.
   

   MaxObjectsNotConsideredByGC=33476
   SizeOfPermanentObjectPool=0
   

§2. About Versions

There are many versions of CD and they have different functions for each.
When you play a CD, you should understand which version you play and what functions it has.

Outdated

First, I introduce old CDs which are not updated and are currently unavailable.

Eternal Edition

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1554427429 Release: 11/02/2018
Latest Update: 09/03/2020

One of the available CDs (at least at the date this guide is published).
In comparison with the first CD, it features plentiful additional functions.
However, after the 2020 winter update "Christmas Crackdown", it has an issue on HUD, you need to use a mutator together such as Classic Scoreboard or Yet Another Scoreboard.
🔗Hunter's CD Discord[discord.gg]

Blackout Edition

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2050370803 Release: 04/06/2020
Latest Update: 04/08/2020

Literally like the original version by Blackout, this version contains only basic functions.
Its public source codes allow you to make your version of a CD.
There is no HUD bug as Eternal Edition has but few functions usually cause us to use RPW mod together.

Chokepoints Edition

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2052571175 Release: 04/08/2020
Latest Update: 08/05/2022

This version has many functions, but its features differ from Eternal Edition's.
The solo mode allows you to play like a 6P match even on solo by auto Zedtime extension.

Tamari's CD

🔗Discord[discord.gg]
Tamari's KF2 server is the biggest community of Killing Floor 2. His version of the CD is not published in the Workshop. Its features are continuous updates and a heavily customized HUD.
Join his Discord to know more.

Combined Edition

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2862691598
This edition is mainly made for the Japanese.

§3. How to launch a CD

Solo (Offline)

First, subscribe to a CD with the functions you want on the Steam Workshop and download it. There are various versions so you need to understand the previous section. If you are an EGS player, use the Steam Workshop Downloader[www.google.com].
After successful downloading, launch it via a console. Type "F3" or " ` " to open a console and enter the command to launch.

1. Blackout Edition
    open KF-Nuked?Game=ControlledDifficulty_Blackout.CD_Survival
2. Eternal Edition
    open KF-Nuked?Game=ControlledDifficulty_Eternal.CD_Survival
3. Chokepoints Edition
    open KF-Nuked?Game=Controlled_Difficulty.CD_Survival
4. Combined Edition
    open KF-Nuked?Game=CombinedCD2.CD_Survival

"KF- " can be any map name and "Game= " is a path name of the CD.
You can also add commands to declare CD settings like below.

open kf-nuked?game=ControlledDifficulty_Blackout.CD_Survival?MaxMonsters=16?SpawnCycle=nam_pro_v5

You can learn about CD settings in the next section.

Server

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1110775580
Reference this guide if you need it and make your server download a CD.
After downloading, set up the server launching command as the same as solo's one.
Don't forget to set "DefaultAuthLevel" in CD's config file.
When the value is "CDAUTH_READ", no one can edit any CD settings except authorized players.
When the value is "CDAUTH_WRITE", everyone can edit them.
The config file is usually located at

Document\MyGames\killingfloor2\KFGame\Config

You can define presets for the following values by wave progress and the number of players.

HPFakes, CohortSize, MaxMonsters, SpawnMod, SpawnPoll, WaveSizeFakes, ZTSpawnSlowdown

To use a preset, for example, you should set like "MaxMonsters=ini".
The config file should be like the one below.

MaxMonstersDefs=16,24,32,32,32,32
MaxMonstersDefs=18,27,36,36,36,36
MaxMonstersDefs=20,30,40,40,40,40

MaxMonstersDefs=32,42,64,64,64,64
MaxMonstersDefs=32,42,64,64,64,64

This is a 10×6 matrix. The row stands for a wave and the column does for the number of players.

・SpawnCycle=ini

SpawnCycleDefs=4CY,3CY_1AL_1GF,6SL,4CY_1BL,2AL_1AL_1SL,4CY,3CY_1AL_1GF,4CY_1BL,2AL_1AL_1SL

Config Settings

・Boss=random / ini
You can set Boss=random like the below.

BossRandDefs=mat
BossRandDefs=hans,kfp,kfp
BossRandDefs=abom,hans

In this case, Boss would be one of the 3 randomly.
You can set Boss=ini like the below.

BossDefs=kfp,kfp,kfp,kfp,kfp

In this case, 5 KFPs would be spawn as boss.

・Special Wave
Define additional Zeds to spawn, the number to spawn, a wave to spawn, and the number of left zeds to trigger the additional spawn.

SpecialWave=KFPNM,Wave=7,Count=1,AIRemaining=50

In this case, 1 KFPNM (KFP with No Minions) spawns on wave 7 when the number of remaining zeds reaches 50.

・Minion Spawn Cycle
Define a spawn cycle on a boss wave.

HansMinionSpawnCycleDefs=3GF_2ST_1SC

Write with the same rules as normal Spawn Cycle. For example, Hans has 3 times minions spawn so you need 3 lines. Pat, KFP, Abom, and Mat have 3, 4, 1, and 3 times respectively.

・Zed Replacement

ZedReplacement=(ShouldReplace=BL,ReplaceWith=SC,ReplaceChance=0.2500)

In this case, there are 0.25 chances that Bloat is replaced with Scrake.

§6. Basic Settings and Spawn System

CD's main basic settings are MaxMonsters, CohortSize, SpawnPoll, WaveSizeFakes, SpawnMod, and SpawnCycle. In this section, I will show you their meaning and describe the spawn system of KF2.

MaxMonsters

The maximum number of zeds allowed on the map at one time. When the number of spawned and alive zeds reaches this value, spawn is completely stopped.
In vanilla HoE, its value is 12 on solo, 18 on duo, and 32 for more. It significantly affects the game's difficulty.

Setting Example

Players	Vanilla	Beginners	General
1	12	16	18
2	18	24	32
3	32	32	36
4	32	36	40
5	32	40	48
6	32	44	56

Consider it depends on the map or something.

WaveSizeFakes

A fakes modifier to determine the total amount of zeds.
First, I explain the way to decide the total amount of zeds on KF2.

Originally posted by Killing Floor 2 Wiki:

The amount of ZEDs to spawn during the wave is calculated by the formula:
Amount of ZEDs = Base Amount x Wave Size modifier x Wave Length modifier.

Base Amount, Wave Size Modifier, and Wave Length modifier are related to the wave progress, the number of active players, and the game's difficulty respectively.
🔗Reference[wiki.killingfloor2.com]

e.g) HoE, Wave10, 6 Players
BaseAmount=42, WaveLengthModifier=4.5, WaveSizeModifier=1.7
Total=42×4.5×1.7=321.3

WaveSizeFakes in a CD determine WaveLengthModifier by setting the number of virtual players.

Players	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	...	32
WaveLengthModifier	1.00	2.00	2.75	3.50	4.00	4.50	4.67	4.85	5.02	5.19	5.37	5.54	...	10.00

How fakes values work depends on the FakesMode.
FakesMode=add_with_humans: the virtual number of players is the sum of the number of actually joined players and the value of WaveSizeFakes.

FakesMode=add_with_humans, WaveSizeFakes=5, Actually joined player=1
The number of virtual players=5+1=6
WaveLengthModifier=4.50

FakesMode=ignore_humans: Ignore the number of actually joined players.

FakesMode=ignore_humans, WaveSizeFakes=12, Actually joined players=6
The number of virtual players=12
WaveLengthModifier=5.54

Setting Example: The double number of active players.

SpawnCycle

In the vanilla game, the system called Spawn Manager draws a lottery set for each wave. It lines up randomly selected squads and forms a Spawn Cycle, then Zeds spawn in the order.
Zeds spawn until the number of spawned zeds reaches the total amount of zeds on the wave. If all Zeds in the cycle have spawned before reaching the total amount, Spawn Manager draws a lottery again and creates the next Spawn Cycle randomly.
🔗 Vanilla Squads Preset[wiki.killingfloor2.com]

In the CD game, you can choose a static Spawn Cycle from presets.
As above, you can play a static Spawn Cycle without randomness. Read the next section to learn about Spawn Cycle.

Setting Example

Team	Cycle
All Elites	ts_mig_v3
Mainly Elites	ts_mig_v2 doom_v2
Veterans	osffi_v1 ts_mig_v1
Well Players	bl_v2
Some Beginners	asl_v1
Mainly Beginners Solo or Duo	nam_pro_v5
All Beginners	nam_pro_v3

SpawnPoll

After determining Spawn Cycle, during a wave, the game packs zeds in a box and ships them out in the order. In short, it spawns zeds.
The minimum interval between the spawns is called SpawnPoll (seconds). In vanilla HoE, it is 1.00 sec.

Setting Example

Vanilla	Beginners	Elites
1.00	1.00	0.70~

SpawnMod

The actual interval between spawns is affected by the number of active players, the wave progress, the game difficulty, the map, and the players' performance.
Originally, the system called Game Conductor declares a variable "Spawn Rate Intensity" depending on players' hit accuracy, speed to kill, health, and amount of remaining ammo. The smaller one means a shorter interval but 0.75 is the minimum value in vanilla. Plus, Spawn Rate Modifier is calculated by the product of the modifier determined by other factors and the Spawn Rate Intensity.
In the CD game, this Spawn Rate Intensity is called Spawn Mod and is manually set. Mostly and generally it is set to 0. It means Spawn Rate Modifier is also 0 so the interval of spawns matches the value of Spawn Poll.

Spawn Rate Modifier = Some Modifiers × Spawn Rate Intensity (SpawnMod)

Setting Example: 0

CohortSize

How many zeds should be packed in a box, in short, Cohort Size is the maximum number of zeds to spawn at one time.

Setting Example

Vanilla	Beginner	General	Elites
0 (4)	0 (4)	~7	~16

A sequence of spawns

I describe a sequence of spawns.
First, a wave begins, and WaveSizeFakes decides the total amount of zeds. Spawn Cycle decides the order to spawn. After beginning spawns, Spawn Manager attempts to spawn CohortSize zeds at most at one time but the MaxMonsters limit can stop spawns.
Regularly, at one time, one squad spawns in one Spawn Volume and the next spawn would be triggered after the interval based on SpawnPoll and SpawnMod. When all zeds in the cycle have spawned, it returns to the beginning of the cycle. When the number of spawned zeds reaches the total amount of zeds, the spawn would end.

・Spawn Volume and Spawner
Spawn Volume is kind of a box to spawn zeds on a map. Spawn Manager chooses one of these appropriately and ships zeds out (spawn).
A spawner is a special point to spawn such as a vent on a floor, wall, or ceiling. It can spawn only small zeds and Spawn Manager can choose this instead of Spawn Volume.

MaxMonsters=20, CohortSize=12, SpawnCycle=ts_mig_v2, Wave=10
Referencing the image above, the sizes of the first 3 squads on wave 10 of ts_mig_v2 are respectively 8, 7, and 9.
First, Spawn Manager will spawn the first squad of 8 zeds at the most-preferred Spawn Volume, and the first 4 zeds in the second squad at the second-most-preferred Spawn Volume.
Next, assuming no zeds are killed, it will spawn the 3 zeds left in the last squad at the most-preferred Spawn Volume, and the first 5 zeds in the next squad at the second-most-preferred Spawn Volume.
Only 8, which is smaller than CohortSize, zeds are spawned because the number of alive zeds reaches 20, the MaxMonsters.

§7. Spawn Cycle

Using spawn cycle allows games to spawn larges on early waves or heavy squads we cannot see in the vanilla games and completely abandon the randomness.
