There are some third party admin tools and other things for the Unreal engine and presumably Killing Floor. I really haven't messed with KF much beyond simply setting it up and changing a few things.
To John/Tripwire: One thing I REALLY like about L4D (from a server op standpoint) is the little in-game banner ad that is on the scoreboard. I wish more games had something like this, it is way cooler than just a bunch of spammy text chat ads. If you guys could add something similar to that, even just like a little 300x50 px image we can upload/link to in the web admin panel it would be amazing. On that note, to Jason/Valve: The web admin panel that Unreal has to do things like server configuration is elite. Please steal this idea.
