Missing Asylum Map

Hello! First of all, nice work with the launcher, i really apreciate it! Now the problem is... that i downloaded the last killing floor 2 version, and the last new map isnt appearing in the map list. So what i did were reconfig the PCServer-KFGame file, adding the map new entrys. Fine, the map is now appearing on WebAdmin. The new problem was, that when i reopen the launcher again, overwrites the PCServer-KFGame i have already edited. And back to start again. The only way i can fix this by now is remplacing the .ini file every time i open my server. Can you help me with this?
Thanks a lot dude.
Cheers, MetalThunder

Cannot add custom maps

If I try to add custom maps via the Workshop it doesnt show the Add button, also I cant set the map id, I got No maps/mods were added message.

I tried to use the ID and also the URL.

Error when importing profile from different version

I got 3 errors when I tried to import a profile from beta version 190822 to the latest version 190905.
It then gave me the option of what profiles I want to add, followed by an other error. Non of the profiles were add.

First three errors:
error1
error2
error3

Last error

The reason why I updated versions is because I was having issues where if I launched the server with the new beta map or nuked obj, the map list would not show up when every died. I checked the map cycle in web admin and it seemed to be filled it with everything.

Another issue is that the new map wouldn't show up in the 'change map' section in the web admin. My guess is that it wasn't been properly written in the PCServer-KFGame file.

Cant download Server

Hello,

when I click on Install/update nothing happens. I went to the launcher.log and theres this error. If you have any idea whats wrong I would appreciate the help. thank you.

Can't Run Server

I'm trying to create a server on a separate computer without KF2 installed and I'm getting this error:

C:\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\Default\PCServer-KFEngine.ini (The system cannot find the file specified)
https://pastebin.com/W6miTpgS

Issues starting on linux

Hi, as the title says the .jar is not running on my Ubuntu box.

I'm currently running on Ubuntu 18.04, with a fresh install of Oracle Java 11. The zip file has been extracted to a folder on my desktop, and when I attempt to run with the command "java -jar SimpleKF2ServerLauncher.jar" I get the error

Error: Could not find or load main class start.MainApplication
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

I love the idea of making an easy way to get a KF2 server up and going please keep it up.

Not updated with latest map

Needs to be updated with latest map.

[enhancement] Improvements for the Maps/Mods import feature.

I would like to be able to choose what new workshop items get added to what profile.

Something like this would be good.

#fixed image-(I'm new to GitHub)

Excelent

Excellent application I love the way you use the new technique of "virtual land", very optimized and efficient, demonstrating a mastery of this technique that today is doubtful of more than one of those who are dedicated to computer technologies. Great job. Congratulations!

Custom maps are not present in the map cycle when the server is launch from any profile other than default.

There seems to be way to choose the map cycle before launching. I would like to see a feature where one can choose the map list before the server is launched.

Server works within LAN but not online?

I've opened ports as pre-requisites, my friend was able to join my server when we are in the same lan network; but when we were not in lan and I tried to invite him via steam, he got kick back to game menu, which is a shame since the launcher is quite user friendly.
