I have seen a few new players around that have recently bought Kingpin from Steam where it is on sale.
So if other new players have found their way here I just wanted to point out that there is information available for new players with lots of information and links to maps, models, skins, mods, patches etc.
I posted it in several places including the Steam Kingpin forum here.

So I hope you are all looking forward to a game on Thursday 9pm UK time :)
It's the final game for 2016 so lets make it a big one.
It's going to be Xmas mod death match. As well as the Xmas mod death match maps MH has also added normal dm maps to the mix as well.
Game details:-
Server : Newskool post-Xmas Fragfest IP : 37.247.117.19:31516 Mod : XMAS Deathmatch Date : 29th December Time : 9pm UK time Maxclients : 22 Admin : Monkey Harris
We have 22 players slots and one of them is for you :)
Acc has released a new Christmas themed death match map called Christmas Rush.
It is a medium sized map set in a shopping mall (or chopping mall as he calls it) that is closed for Christmas. It is multi levelled, has ample weapons and items and features Christmas trees, presents, and decorations.
The map should be good in both the XMAS mod and normal death match.
All the skins are in pak5 files. Just extract/unzip the file to your Kingpin folder. This will place the pak5 file in your kingpin/main folder.
If you already have a pak5 file in your main folder then extract the new pak5 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak2, pak3 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.
Macanah has now released his latest death match map called Mistaken (mnhkpdm8.bsp).
It is similar in style to his other maps. It is set in a large multi level room. It features teleports, rain, plenty of weapons and items and has 8 player spawns.
AB|Jones abandoned his plans to convert a map from Quake 2 and instead decided to make an original map with a Quake 2 style.
Sinister is a medium sized death match map, Quake 2 style, with mostly custom textures used. It is multi leveled, has a custom sky and features some 'sinister' custom sounds.
It has 18 player spawns and ample weapons and items.
I have updated two of the custom HMG skins pak files to include the file so yoU can see the custom skin on other players when they are holding the HMG.
Roarkes has posted some info about a Floor Plan Creator that you can use to help design your floor plans for Kingpin maps. He is using it to help him create a new map for Kingpin.
This Thursday the game is going to be XMAS mod death match.
Game Details:-
Server : Newskool XMAS Deathmatch IP : 37.247.117.19:31516 Mod : XMAS Deathmatch Date : 15th December Time : 9pm UK time Maxclients : 22 Admin : Monkey Harris
It's Christmas tme so lets give this XMAS mod a real workout.
AB|Jones is currently working on a new death match map for Kingpin. It is a conversion from Quake 2 and is called Broken Shadows. It's a medium sized map and should be done shortly.
Last Sunday we missed out by just one player of our goal of getting twenty people in the server. Will this be the week we reach that goal?
Only one way to find out and that is to come join us for a fun game. If you couldn't make it last week then make a double effort to make it this Sunday :)
Game Details:-
Server : Sundays Bagman Game IP : kp.servegame.com:31519 Mod : Bagman Date : 11th December Time : 9pm UK time Maxclients : 20 Admin : Killa
Check the World clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9pm UK time here.
Hope to see you everyone who reads this there on Sunday :D
We came close again but just missed out on getting 20 people in the server. We managed 19 lol :)
Check out the gamestats and see who the biggest thief was :)
We have reached 100,000 visitors which is great news. It only took about 10 months to get there and consider that for the first month or two not many people knew about us :)
Thank you to everyone who has visited and continues to do so and thank you to Fredz who hosts and funds the site.
I hope you get some enjoyment out of what we do here.
It is great to see that there is still osme interest in the old girl and hopefully the interst will remain for a few more years to come :D
Don't forget to jump in the server for a game or two over the Christmas period and into the New Year.

Just extract/unzip all files to your Kingpin folder.
Once you have downloaded and installed the files I suggest joining one of the Newskool XMAS mod servers to confirm everytihng is ok. If you experience any issues then post in the comments for this news post.
You can play bagman, death match and hitmen with the XMAS mod and word on the street is that some games will be scheduled shortly.
Captain Death has released v1.1 of the CTF mod client files.
You can see what's changed in the credits v1.1 text.
The new CTF client files contain all you need to connect to a v1.1 CTF server and all the CTF maps made so far. The V1.1 server files will be relased shortly.
Check out the readme before you install the files. You have to delete your existing CTF folder if you have one.
You can download the V1.1 client files from Captain Death's site here.
We needed a post with some screenshots so I checked which is the most downloaded death match map. Currently it's a map called Combat.
Combat is a small death match map set in European village during war time. It is a conversion/rebuild of an Half-Life map which was made by Wayne W. Smith and converted to Kingpin by me back in 2007. The map contains four bombed out buildings, two on either side of a river which dissects the map thru the middle. There are also two army vehicles included. The map uses a combination of Kingpin, SoF and Half-Life textures. It has ample weapons (including 2 HMG's) and other items, 11 spawn points and a custom sky.
If you look at the Visitor count you'll see we are close to 99,000 visits. Can we make 100,000 before the end of the year and will you be the 100,000th visitor :)

Here is a recent Youtube video of a guy playing Kingpin for the first time. You can see him getting more into the game as he gets into it. More so in the following videos he did (he has five Kingpin videos in total).
It's just interesting to watch someone play Kingpin for the first time. It might remind you of the first time you played it :)
Fredz has created a page with some important milestone dates for Kingpin such as when the demo was released, when the actual game was released and when the patches were released etc.
The page is contained in the Tutorials/Basics section.
Fredz has uploaded the latest version of Aztec 3D. This is the program used to make Quake2 models and I assume it can be used to convert Quake 2 models to Kingpin.
Another map Whoop Ass sent me a while ago is Only Users Lose Drugs by 4NIK8 (kfcbeta1.bsp).
This is a large, gothic style, drug induced, death match map. It is multi levelled, somewhat dark in places and uses a lot of custom textures. Of course there is a hidden room lol.
We were talking about this death match map on Thursday night in the server so i thought I would make a post about it.
High Noon is a nice death match map from back in 2001. This map was converted and adjusted for Kingpin by Ganthet[BC] from the game Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force. It's a smallish map set in a western style fortress. It uses some custom textures and a custom sky. It has enough weapons and iems for a map this size but you have to jump up onto the wall or a roof to get to a couple of them.
Yakumo dropped into the server on Thursday night (just as the last two people were leaving the game lol). He said he has an unreleased death match map that he will try to finish and release. So heres hoping he does :)
Meanwhile you can grab his Team Yakumo beta2 Bagman map from here.
