For something a bit different this Thursday, the Newskool Fragfest server has been changed to a "Rocketfest" server.
As per Monkey Harris:-
Rockets are fun so I've added a new "rocketmode" feature in MM, in which the only weapon is the bazooka. All weapon/mod pickups are removed from the map and all ammo is changed to rockets. The reload delay is also removed. Splash damage is reduced to 50% on others and only 10% on yourself to encourage rocket jumping (hopefully get some nice mid-air frags).
Server Details
Server : Newskool Rocketfest IP : 37.247.117.19:31513 Maxclients : 18 Date : Thursday 1st Sept. Time : 21.00 (9pm) UK Time Admin : Monkey Harris
I have uploaded the Bagman JediBM1 Beta map which was made by [Jedi]Nog.
JediBM1 Beta is a large Bagman map. It is a darkish map and the safe rooms need to be opened with nearby switches.The two bases are different and the money drop has both cash rolls and cash wads. There are several ways between bases and the map features ample weapons and items.
EmoLevelDesigner has done a video playthough of the Tea Time single player episode available at YouTube.
Tea Time is an alternative beginning for the game made by Tea Leaf. You exit from Sewer Rat door into the town. It's a small episode where the aim is for the player to escape the city. Hire your thug, kill all the bad guys, get the keys and make your way to the Typhoon Bar and escape on a motorbike into Episode 2 of the regular game.
We found something interesting while playing CTF on Sunday. If you have a see through surface in a map (like a window), and two players stand either side of the it, and one player fires a rocket the other player wont see a rocket trail. They will still see the projectile but not the trail. You can see what I mean in the screenshots below.

I have added the Bloodyborg death match map to our maps archive. I assume it was made by {GT}Bloody.
It's a medium to large map with a failry simple layout. It uses custom textures which are to give it the feeling of a Borg ship, I guess, from the Star Trek universe.
By the way, we also host a skin pack of Star Trek characters. The pack contains seven skins for the thug, bitch and Anthea models. There is Picard and Giordi, from Next Generation and Janeway, Tuvok, Harry Kim and 7of9 from Voyager. There is also a thug skin of a Borg drone, who are one of the main enemies in Star Trek. The pack also contains a readme with details of all the skins, how to install them and how to load them.
You can download the Star Trek skin pack from here.
The 7of9 skin is for the Anthea model so if you don't already have the model you can download the model from here.
Just extract the Anthea files to your kingpin/main/players folder.
Here is an older, less well known, map that isn't currently on any servers hint hint ;)
Jailhouse Frag is a small death match map that {GT}Knightconverted from the fabulous Quake 2 Chaos mod. It is a small Quake 2 style map that uses Quake 3 textures. It has ample weapons and items and a nice tight layout.
I have added the Grovev2 Hitmen map to our map archive.
Grovev2 is a small to medium sized, multi level, Hitmen map. It's a good example of a Hitmen map. It has ample armour and cooling mods but it doesn't feature any pistol mods.
Acc has now released beta5 of his Build Map Converter utility program which allows you to convert Build Games' maps to Kingpin. Games include Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood etc.
New to beta5 is:-
- Added support for Blood's RFF files version 2 (demo) and 3 (retail) - Added texture conversion to WAL (Quake 2), MIP, WAD2 (Quake 1), and WAD3 (Half-Life) - Better support for Quake 1 map export
I have uploaded the Beer Clan Ally death match map made by [Beer] Bud Ice.
This is a map from way back in 2000. It is a large, well made, urban style map. I would say, though, that a few areas are too dark otherwise it's fine.
Another Bagman map Killa added to his Bagman server is X-Octagon Urban Final (team_x_urb_final.bsp). This map used to be very popular but hasn't been seen for years.
X-Octagon Urban Final is a small, urban style, Bagman map made by Dread. It's a remake of an earlier map and has enough weapons and items and two ways to get between the bases. According to Dread it was wildly popular on the old Jedi Bagman server.
Team Twist3d Beta - A small, surreal looking, Bagman map made by Whoop Ass. It features all custom textures giving the map a sort of Alice in Wonderland feel.
After playing a couple of hours of regular Bagman maps it's fun to go crazy in a tiny one room BM map. Check out the latest gameplay video from 7th August, that I posted about the other day, to see what I mean.
There are several of these very small maps available.
CTF Compound 2016 by Hypov8. This is an update of the teamcompound-ctf map which was made by Creamator. The major change is that many of the textures have been changed especially in the centre of the map. There are also some minor structural changes.
Defector CTF by Macanah is a conversion of one of his Quake 2 maps. It's a medium sized, darkish map where using the grappling hook (harpoon) is almost a must.
The idea is for the Runts to infiltrate the Thugs base and steel 3 keys needed to unlock the Runts radio and call in the reinforcements.
If the Runts return all 3 keys to their radio, the Thugs all get killed by something like a plane , train, tank, etc. If the Thugs defend the keys successfully until time runs out, the Runts all get killed by the plane, train, tank, etc.
I have uploaded the original Forts of Fury Bagman map, made by Jax, to our maps archive.
Forts of Fury (jax15.bsp) is a simple, 2 forts style, Bagman map. There are two ways between bases and the bases are multi level. The safes need to be opened by buttons which are are on the level above.
We already had the Forts of Fury Remix Bagman map (jax15r1.bsp). It's a similar layout, of course, but there are some changes and the texturing is totally different. Also the safes are open now.
Acc has released beta3 of his Build Map Converter utility program which allows converting of Build Games' maps to Kingpin. Games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood etc.
