So yes, this is about the still functioning UT2k4 mod Killing Floor, not the retail version. I want to add stuff like clots or other monsters into stuff like Invasion, so I can--obviously--shoot them with ballistic weapons! However, I tried the Monster Manager, but there isn't any good documentation on how to use it to add your own monsters. Yes, I tried, but it failed no matter what I did.

Alternatively, I wouldn't even mind using Ballistic Weapons in Killing Floor, and some quick googling seems to show that it's possible (as there are some vids of it). But nothing seems to really describe how.

I'd really like the first circumstance (KF monsters in normal invasion) to be the case. Any ideas?

(Also, sub question: I downloaded the 2.1 and the bonus pack of BW but it seems that no matter what I do, none of the junk wars melee weapons show up. Anyone know why? Fresh install, fresh download. Is there a separate JW download I need to have it to work?)

I actually managed to do this at one point. I transferred a majority of the mod files into the regular UT2004 folder, then added the appropriate lines to whatever monster manager I used. Be careful if you want to try what I did, there might be some files that want to overwrite stock UT2004 files. Make sure you avoid replacing any stock files. If you already have that done or found some alternative, I might be able to dig up the monster classes so you can add them to the ini for monster manager.

Maybe you can help me with basic Monster Manager. I tried adding YARM monsters to the Monster Manager for invasion, with no luck. Do you know exactly what to do just to have an entry show up on the mutator list?

Well, I don't actually use Monster Manager much myself (I prefer Invasion Pro), but there should be an .ini file for Monster Manager. In that file (you can open it with any text editor) you need to make an entry for each monster you want to add in. If you entered it successfully, you should be able to find it somewhere in the mutator config menu for Monster Manager.

Often the readme for a monster pack will tell you what lines to enter.

Didja read the part in my first post where I tried adding the YARM zombies?

Yeah, it didn't work. But I'll look at Invasion Pro.

Yeah, I read it, but I'm not sure how you tried to add it. I assume with the .ini file?

I guess if it comes down to it you can send me the file and I can try to see whats wrong.
