Another great sound pack we have is of Bender from Futurama. This pack replaces many of the male taunts with classic one liners from Bender such as the infamous ''bite my shiney metal ass" :)
You can download the Bender sound pack from here.
Just unzip the pak3 file into you kingpin folder and it will be placed in the correct location.
If you already have a pak3 file then extract the new pak3 to a temp location somewhere (such as your desktop), rename it to a number you dont have such as pak2, pak4 etc then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.
For any of you that don't already know there is a sound pack for Kingpin of Homer Simpson.
The custom Homer sounds replace some of the default thug sounds and is in a pak9 file.
Just extract/unzip the pak9 file to your Kingpin folder. This will place the pak9 file in your kingpin/main folder.
If you already have a pak9 file in your main folder then extract the new pak9 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak3, pak4 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.
You can download the Homer sound pack from here.
This Thursday the game is going to be XMAS mod death match.

Here is an old Bagman map I just found.
It called Team Chaser and was made by Chais back in 2003.
It's a medium sized, standard layout, Bagman map. It uses minimal textures, has just enough weapons, and has 8 player spawns for each team.
You can download Team Chaser from here.
Our friends from Romania, the Roarke twins, have done it again and released a new Chrsitmas texture pack for Kingpin.
The pack consists of 77 textures which are Christmas ornaments.
You can check out the pack here.
On Wednesday December 27th, Xanarki is organsiing a game of the Enhanced Bagman Mod on Mac’s USA Enhanced Bagman Server.
***Please note that the time has changed to 9pm UK time (4pm EST time)***
Game details:-
Server : planetmnh.16mb.com USA bagman enhanced
IP : 107.172.207.142:32333
Date : Wednesday 27th December
Time : 9.00pm UK time (4pm EST)
You can download the EBM files from the server but I highly recommend downloading them from
here.
Just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location(kingpin/enhanced)
There is a map-pack for the server which you can download
here.
EBM is just like bagman, but with a few different features:-
* Replacement for the Pipe (press 1 for Machete)
* Replacement for the Tommygun (Coltm41a)
* New explosion graphics & weapon sprites for muzzle flash and rocket trails
* Changed team names and skins (Rednecks and Punks)
* Flashbangs and regular grenades! (press Q to switch between them)
The map list consists of some maps we rarely (if ever) play, mixed in with some favourites and classic maps as well.
The game is geared towards USA players thus the later times, but of course, everyone is encouraged to join.
The latest server browser is the HypoGameBrowser made by Hypov8.
The HypoGameBrowser searches for Kingpin, KingpinQ3 and Quake 2 servers.
It incorporates the M-browser and Gamespy protocol into one browser and also includes the M's Kingpin Chat room.
It can be installed anywhere but easiest if you just install to your Kingpin folder.
Once installed just go to settings and setup the Game Path(s).
You can download HypoGameBrowser from here.
----------------------------------------------------------------
MH's Kingpin Patch
If you install the MH's Kingpin Patch one of the things it does is populate your Gangbang menu with all the current servers.
So go to 'Gangbang' Menu and 'Join Server' and you will see all available servers.
You can download the MH's Kingpin Patch from here.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The last option I can think of is QTracker the game server browser that supports many games.
Youu can download QTracker from here.
Currently Gamespylite is running slowly. It is working but you need to refresh a few times to see the servers.
So I though this would be a good time to list all the Kingpin server browsers and options for connecting to the Kingpin servers.
Gamesylite
Probably the most famous Kingpin server browser.
If you add all the servers to your Favourites then they will show up even when GSLite is having issues.
Right click on the server and select 'add to favourites'. After you have added them all just Press the 'Favorites' button to list all your favourite servers.
The IP adresses for the Luschen servers change daily so what you need to do is go to your folder where you installed GSLite (probably kingpin/gamespy) and open the gspylitefavors.txt (using notepad or similar).
Then just add the following lines to it:-
kp.hambloch.com:31500
kp.hambloch.com:31501
kp.hambloch.com:31502
kp.hambloch.com:31505
kp.hambloch.com:31509
Now all the Luschen servers will show up in Favories as well.
You can download Gamespylite from here.
----------------------------------------------------
[M] Server Browser
This one just gets installed to your Kingpin folder.
It includes several options including the ability to join servers directly from [M]'s Kingpin Server List page.
When you have the [M] browser open press M and this will install an entry into the Windows registry. Now when you visit [M]'s Kingpin Server List page you will be able to join any server by clicking on the M in 'join options'.
You can download [M]'s Kingpin server browser from here.
Unfortunately the Steam button for Kingpin wont show up if it is banned in your country, such as Germany.
On Steam there is a winter sale, that includes Kingpin that is on sale with 50% off, for 4.99, until 4 Januari 6PM GMT.
Team Captive, by Whoop Ass, is a really nice looking Bagman map. I don't remember ever seeing this map before.
It is a medium sized, well layed out map, that has a medieval/gothic syle to it.
You can download Team Captive from here.
Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder.

Check the readmes for comprehensive information.
With so many new players (and old players returning) it seems like a good time to remind people about the Information for New Players doco.
It contains lots of information and links to map-packs, models, skin-packs, mods files, patches etc.
Check it out here.
Had another random game today. Saw a couple of people in a server, joined in and and then messaged a few other people, more just joined and we ended up with a game going on. It was good to see that several of the players were new guys :)
If you are looking for a game and no one is around I suggest joining the Luschen Botmatch server and playing against the bots. Chances are other people will join you there and you'll get a game started. Especially at the moment when more new players (and old ones returning to the game) are showing up on a regular basis.
What I also suggest is getting other Kingpin players added to your friends list in Steam, Facebook, Skype etc so you can msg them when you are looking for a game.
If you are in the Kingpin Facebook groups you can also post there when you are going into a server and some of those guys might join you to.
The Game this Sunday will be the Xmas CTF Mod.

Hypov8 and I have collaborated on a new Winter themed map called Xmas Combat. It is a remake of the old death match map called Combat.
Xmas Combat is a smallish Xmas themed Bagman map set in an old war torn village during Wintertime.
The map contains four bombed out buildings, two on either side of a frozen river which dissects the map through the middle. There are also two army vehicles included.
The money drop is on the bridge that crosses the river. The team's bases are in two of the bombed out buildings.
The ground is covered in snow and two of the buildings contain huge old radios that play traditional Chrsitmas music.
The map contains lots of custom textures.
You can download Xmas Combat from here.
Iceland 2 is a small, arena style, fun map set in a Winter environment. The ground is icy so you slide all over the map.
The map was inspired by the original Iceworld map.
It has plenty of weapons, ammo, health and armour and uses a couple of textures fom the Rourkes Graffiti texture pack.

Here is a map I converted to Kingpin from Quake, a few years ago, called The Edge of Oblivion. The original Quake map was made by The Levelord. The map is probably better known as hipdm1.
It's a medium sized deathmatch map and, apparently, the Quake version was the very first space map or 'suspended platform, aka void' map ever made.
The map consists of several interconnected platforms suspended above a space void.
You can download The Edge of Oblivion (kphipdm1.bsp) from here.
It was great to see so many new players show up for the Thursday game. Hopefully they will be back for more :)
