Running a Server

KF2 Server: Enable or Disable Seasonal Skins (AllowSeasonalSkins)

Killing Floor 2 seasonal events add alternate looks for Zeds and characters. If you run a dedicated server and want those skins switched on or off for everyone, a single URL-style option does it. This is a short community tip.

The parameter

In your KF2Server.bat add one of these options to the launch line:

  • ?AllowSeasonalSkins=0 - disables seasonal skins on the server.
  • ?AllowSeasonalSkins=1 - enables seasonal skins on the server.

Example

start .\Binaries\win64\kfserver kf-dystopia2029?-AdminPassword=123?AllowSeasonalSkins=0

This starts the map kf-dystopia2029 with an admin password and seasonal skins disabled. Replace the map and password with your own, and keep all options joined with ? as in the example.

Notes

  • Set the option every time you launch the server; it is part of the startup string.
  • Restart the server after editing the batch file.
  • For more setup help see dedicated server and the list of seasonal Zeds in event Zeds and seasonal skins.
