As you may know you can change the bot settings of the Luschen Botmatch server (and the Luschen GunRace +bots server) at the M's Kingpin Server List page. You can change the number of bots, their skill level and the game mode.
[M] has let me know that a new setting has been added that can also be amended by players.
The new setting is called Bot Skill Deviation ans is explained in the following:-
The new percentage setting for the botmatch server:
When it is set to 0, all bots will play at the skill level set (6 in the screen above).
If you set it to a different value, the bots’ skill will deviate.
Let’s say current botskill is 4 and you set the percentage to 50%, it will make the worst bot play 50% below the overall skill level, so the worst bot will play at level 2 (4 * 50% = 2).
The best bot will play 50% above that level, which would be 6 (4 * 150% = 6).
All other bots in between will have their individual skill spread out evenly, so if there are 6 bots, their skill would be spread out like this:
Kingpin: 6
Duke: 5
B&B: 4
MrBurns: 3.3
Homer: 3
LadieDie: 2
Smaller percentages will make the field more narrow.
If you set it to 100%, the best bot will play at twice the overall skill level (capped at 10 though) and the worst bot plays at level 0.
This allows you to create fields of bots that might fit the Human players better.
The “Bot Hunt” setting (which is disabled in the screen above), will make the bots raise right to skill level 10 if a Human player leads by more than 4 frags. This setting is brutal as we learned ;) So we made it optional.
Goat wants to have a final beta test of his Kill COnfirmed mod before releasing it. So he has called a game on Tuesday night starting 9.30pm UK time. It will be Tagman for a hour of so and then Team Deathmatch for the rest of the night.

If you have taken part in any of the previous beta tests then you will have a pak1 and maybe a pak2 in your killconfirmed folder. You should delete both the pak1 and pak2 from the kill confirmed folder as the paks have been updated since last week's beta test.
To delete the pak files open your Kingpin folder and you will see a killconfirmed folder. Open that one and you will see pak1 and maybe pak2 so just delete them.
You will download the new pak file when you join the server.
**Update 9th October**
The test went well. A few bugs were foudn but have already been fixed. I tihnk the mod will be released shortly.
Hellgate Kingpin is my latest map with help from Hypov8.
Hellgate Kingpin is a map based on the Hellgate Rift map from Hellgate:London. It is a death match map for the Halloween mod.
It is a small, gothic style, map. It features gothic columns, a sacrificial alter where you will find the HMG, and a kind of temple with a teleport that sends you to the roof of the altar building where you will find the rocket launcher and armour.
It has ample weapons and items (3 tommys, 2 shotties, 1 gl, 1 rl, 1 hmg, 1 crowbar, 2 sets of armour etc) and thirteen player spawns.
Thanks to Hypov8 for his help with the map. He did several tweaks and fixes and lots of little stuff to improve hte map.
You can download Hellgate Kingpin from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
The Sunday Game this week will be the Halloween mod. The first hour or so will be Halloween Hitmen then the remainder of the night will be Halloween CTF.

The Halloween mod games start this Sunday.

You can download the Halloween client files from here.
Recent maps not included in the client maps can be downloaded from here.
You can get the Halloween CTF files from here.
Here are screens of one of the maps I remade for the mod.
Goat has added new modes to his upcoming Kill Confirmed mod.
Initially the mod supported Team Deathmatch but he has now added Tagman mode which is like Bagman only with Tags.
Tagman uses normal Bagman maps. You can steal a max of 5 Tags from the enemies safe and a max of 3 Tags from killing an enemy player. Currently the default number of Tags needed to win a round is 60.
He has also added an Instagib mode.
--------------------------------------------
Kill Confirmed is based on the Call of Duty mod of the same name.
The original Team Deathmatch mode is like normal team deathmatch but when you frag another player on the other team they drop a dogtag and you have to pickup (run over) that tag to score the frag point for your team.
If a member of the other team picks up the dogtag first your team doesn't get the point.
--------------------------------------------
There willk be a full test of the mod next week (probably Tuesday). I'll let you know when time and date is confirmed.
If you have taken part in any of the previous beta tests then you will have a pak1, and maybe a pak2, in your killconfirmed folder. You should delete both the pak1 and pak2 from the kill confirmed folder and download the new pak1 when you join the server.
To delete the pak files open your Kingpin folder and you will see a killconfirmed folder. Open that one and you will see pak1 and maybe pak2 so just delete them.
