Using KitRifty's New Directory Style Loading Method
As of late Secret Update 5, KitRifty introduced a new system to where loading boss profiles are 10 times easier and more refined that is mostly similar to Freak Fortress 2. It may be a bit daunting at first, but this small tutorial should guide you on how to use this new method effectively and efficiently.
This one is actually a hybrid, what I mean by this is you can use both the old and new method of loading boss profiles. To load a boss in the Core Pack using the new method, create a boss config that only contains the boss you want, make sure "Profiles" isn't included, if you want an example, pick up one of the public Modified bosses and use that as an example, indenting doesn't matter. Then save that config as the boss profile name to be consistent, so if its hypersnatcher_nerfed, name the config hypersnatcher_nerfed.cfg. Place that config in the following directory: sourcemod/configs/sf2/profiles. Don't put the config file in the packs folder. Make sure all bosses have each config of their own, one boss per config files. Once thats done, your boss should load up like usual.

Now this one you have to choose between which method you want to use, use the old method or use the new method, you cannot use both. To get a boss pack to use the new method, go into profiles_packs.cfg and go to the boss pack you want, in "file", remove the .cfg and then save the file. To get bosses to load for that pack, go to sourcemod/configs/sf2/profiles/packs and create a new folder that matches the "file" key value. In that folder, this is where you store all bosses you want to load for the set boss pack. Once you have all of the bosses separated in configs assuming you switched from the old method to the new one, you can safely delete the boss pack config file.

If you want to move bosses, its as simple as copying the config you want to move and paste it to the pack you want that boss to be on from now on and then deleting the config in the original boss pack. Deleting bosses is as easy as deleting the boss config. And changing stats is just as simple by going into a set config file and change the stats you want to change.
KitRifty wanted a new method to organize bosses without storing them in one giant config file, which will eventually be messy to find one specific bosses on many different boss packs. Not only this, but if a boss fails to a load using this new method, it will skip that bosses and continue to load the remaining bosses as if nothing happened. So at the end of the day, the choice is up to you, do you want a more refined method or do you want to use the old method?
Thats basically all this tutorial offers for this game changing patch KitRifty pushed out, until then, have fun...
