I'm trying to host a killing floor 2 server for a lan party and
the issue i'm having is that the server isn't listed on the lan tab (i can't see it on any other tab but that's due to the fact that i haven't port-forward the required ports), i can connect to it just fine through the console (open <ip>) but it refuses to show up on the server browser.

The only thing that stands out to me from the logs is
apparently the server's IP isn't assigned to the ServerIP variable in LobbyJoinGame.. is there any way to assign that manually through either the server console or through any other configuration? i've browsed through the wiki and i haven't seen anything related to it.
The only thing i haven't tried is to validate the files and that's due to the fact that a 7gb file would take a REALLY long time with my current connection (I'm on a 2Mb/s connection so downloading 7gb+ worth of stuff would take a really long time and hog all the bandwidth in my household).
Things to note:
If i can't get anything else to work i'll just bite the bullet and download everything once more, but if anybody can help it'd be great :D
UPDATE
I've done a clean install of steamcmd and downloaded the server overnight, it's still not showing up. I have validated my server files ( 'app_update 232130 validate' ). I have also disabled my firewall temporarily to see if that was the issue but it's still not visible. I've posted on the tripwire forums to see if there's anything else i might be missing here..thanks anyway guys, i'll update when/if i get any leads.
UPDATE - SUCCESS!
So.. I finally got things to work and it turns out i'm just an idiot (lol). I'll post everything i've done so far in case someone actually runs into other problems related to this.
Thanks to everybody that actually posted and sent PMs giving advice. I can't tell you how grateful i am for your input.

KF2ServerTool for Windows and KF2ServerToolCMD for Windows and Linux
Easy way to install the server and add/remove/update maps in your Killing Floor 2 Dedicated Server
What is this?
With this tool you can easily install and configure your Killing Floor 2 dedicated server. You can easily install or update maps and mods from workshop or a custom redirect, perform server maintenance (updates and verify server integrity), start the server with custom mutators and also have diferent profiles with different settings. All this without wasting time editing lines of config files.The tool is constantly updated and tested by several people who use it to host, the actual state is fully functional and stable.
How easy is that?To install the server and configure?
Just download the app and open it, the tool will install the server and show a easy GUI to help you to configurate basic steps like maps, options, webadmin, etc.
And about install custom maps?
You will just browse the workshop inside the app or paste a URL of an workshop item and click on a button. The application will do everything for you (download the map, add the server subscription, add the map entry, add the map to the cycle of maps and add the server redirect if needed). For update an outdated workshop item just right click on the item and choose update.
The app includes some extra features too, like a server launcher, web admin configuration, workshop download manager configuration, access to webadmin inside the application, and some tools to clean the cache and workshop files. I spent good weeks developing this tool to make it as simple as possible for the end user.

Upcomming Forum Overhaul
We are starting the work to switch our forums, which have been based on a version of the Vbulletin forum software since their inception with the Red Orchestra mod (then VB 3 and currently VB 5.1) to an all new forum software called Xenforo. After researching it, we feel Xenforo is a better choice for the future as it has a vibrant modding and addon community that will allow us to extend the functions of these forums in ways players will enjoy.
As part of this, at some point in the near future these forums will be locked down so we cant merge over all of the existing content into the new forum database. It will likely then be a few more days as we work on the new forum and correct any issues from the merge. Privay Policy Update
We’ve updated the Tripwire Privacy Notice under our Policies to be clearer about our use of customer information to come in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules that come into force today (25th May 2018). The following are highlights of our changes:
We’ve incorporated the relevant concepts from the GDPR including joining the EU and Swiss Privacy Shield framework. We’ve added explanations for why and how Tripwire processes customer data and the types of data that we process, as well as information about your data protection rights. For more information about our privacy practices, please review the new Privacy Policy found here: http://tripwireinteractive.com/policies/privacy-notice Forum RulesCHANGES

General Behaviour
DO NOTs
Username, Avatar and Signature Rules
Netiquette: Written text has no inflection, and, as such, you should be careful how you write your messages as interpretation will vary from person to person. Please take advantage of the built-in emoticons to add such expression to your words. Please remember the golden rule: to treat other forum users the way you would like to be treated. Please use common courtesy, and enjoy using Red Orchestra's forums
The following is a list of some things that MAY be considered 'offensive' by the moderators and the team. This is NOT an exclusive list and it does depend very much on context.Crossing the line into 'offensive' territory is likely to get you asked to change your name, sig or avatar or to withdraw/delete posts. This will be done politely by the moderators. If you refuse to comply further action WILL be taken once started, ultimately leading to banning from the forums. A key point: please attempt to use your brains. What is mild humour to you may well be deeply offensive to others. While we have no intention of acting as politically-correct 'thought police', we are on the lookout for those things that can cause offense and, in some cases, are actually still illegal in some jurisdictions.
Examples: So people get the idea, some examples that would be considered offensive, numbered as above:
A simple rule-of-thumb: many Europeans find Nazi symbolism of any sort offensive; many Americans still find Soviet symbolism offensive. Engage your brain before using. Server Pronto
Final Note: this is NOT open to debate, so please do NOT start whining and moaning if a moderator asks you to change something. They will advise at first, giving reasons, then, if you take no notice, they will step up the pressure through to banning.
