Make the change
- Record the existing Map Name and Server Difficulty and back up KFGame/Config.
- Stop the server between matches.
- Set Map Name to an installed map, using its internal name without a file extension.
- Choose the difficulty value described beside Server Difficulty; do not assume text labels are accepted by a numeric field.
- Start, join a new match and check the difficulty shown by the game.
| Panel field | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| Map Name | Selects the map loaded by this server. Use an exact installed map identifier supported by the game, including any required path. |
| Server Difficulty | 0 = Normal, 1 = Hard, 2 = Suicidal, 3 = Hell on Earth. Accepted values: 0, 1, 2, 3. |
Check the result
A configuration used later by a map or mutator can override gameplay rules. If the initial match is correct but later matches differ, inspect those additional settings before changing the startup value again.
