True Random Boss

Server-side mutator that makes bosses truly random.

Some players use the command to predict the boss. Here's the command:
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:
This is possible because the boss is chosen at the beginning of the game.

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

No. This mod is not whitelisted and will de-rank your server. Any XP gained will not be saved.

1. Subscribe to this mutator;
   
2. Start KF2;
   
3. Open console (~) and input:
   open KF-BioticsLab?Mutator=TRB.Mut
   (replace the map and add the parameters you need)
   
4. <Enter>.

Note: If you don't understand what is written here, read the article Dedicated Server (KF2 wiki)[wiki.killingfloor2.com] before following these instructions.

1. Open your PCServer-KFEngine.ini / LinuxServer-KFEngine.ini;
   
2. Find the [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section and make sure that there is a line (add if not):
   DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload
   ❗️ If there are several DownloadManagers= then the line above should be the first ❗️
   
3. Add the following string to the [OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
   ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=3047331564
   
4. Start the server and wait while the mutator is downloading;
   
5. Add mutator to server start parameters: ?Mutator=TRB.Mut and restart the server.

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:

1. Create (modify) KFTRB.ini manually. Put the following content there:
   [TRB.TRB]
   Version=0
   
2. Start the game/server with TRB to generate the contents of the config.
   
3. Close the game/server.

Right now this is the only way to correctly create the default config.
Unfortunately I can't do anything about it because it's a game problem (not mutator). I hope TWI fixes this someday.

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

📌 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 :)
