elfor has released more custom crosshairs for Kingpin in a zipfile called triplecross.
There are three different sets of crosshairs and each set has three different crosshairs.
There are two screenshots included which show the different sets of crosshairs.
It probably easiest to just extract/unzip the files to a temp folder somewhere and decide which set you want to use then just copy and paste the relevant pak file to your Kingpin/main folder.
You can download the triplecross crosshairs from here.
I just met Ev1lbunny in a Kingpin server. He just reinstalled Kingpin but is having problems. Hopefuly he can get them sorted and will be back playing again.
For those of you who don't know Ev1lbunny made the first custom player model for Kingpin called Anthea.
The Anthea model includes the Leah expansion pack which adds more skins, more heads and several extras such as Raybans & Pink sunnys, a collar for the leather jacket, chrome thigh boots and a Bunny costume (ears and tail). The model has Kingpin vweap support except you see the AK47 instead of the HMG.
You can download the Anthea model from here.
Just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
Acc has released a fantastic new death match map called Dark Woods Shrine.
A conversion of "House of Wang" ($DMShrin) from Shadow Warrior. Small to medium deathmatch map with 8 spawn points, 2x heavy machine gun (2x .308, 2x cooling), 1x tommygun (1x bullets and 5x cylinders), 1x grenade launcher (4x grenades), 1x bazooka (5x rockets), 2x shotgun (6x shells), and 3 pistol kits (damage + reload + rate of fire).
I'm sure this map is going to be very popular so make sure you download it quick :)
You can download Dark Woods Shrine from here.
Just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
You can see more screenshots and leave feedback about the map here.
Time for some more Hitmen. The Thursday game this week is going to be the Hitmen mod starting at 9.30pm UK time on Killa's server.
Game Details:-
Server : Thursday Hitmen Game
IP : kp.hambloch.com:31519
Date : Thursday 29th March
Time : 21.30 (9.30pm) UK Time

A lot of places have just started daylight saving so best to check the world clock :)
If you need the Gamespylite Kingpin server browser you can download it here.
Elfor has managed to replace the adrenaline with the whiskey bottle. So in game you will see a bottle of whiskey instead of the adrenaline but it still works the same way as the adrenaline.
You can downlaod the whiskey adrenaline from here.
The zip file is set up so you only have to extract the pak9 file to your Kingpin directory. 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 pak2, pak4 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.
Most of the official death match maps from the original Quake have been converted to Kingpin. Some of them several times.
Place of Two Deaths (Q1DM1)
The Bad Place (Q1DM4)
The Cistern (Q1DM5)
The Dark Zone (Q1DM6)
Acrophobia (Q1DM7)
The list above is just some of the maps available if you want to get all known conversions including all the versions of The House of Chton (Q1E1M7) then download the Quake 1 map-pack from here.
I have managed to create a reasonable looking custom skin for the Super Shotgun which is one of the weapons we are using in the upcoming GunRace mod. Hopefully we wil lbe ready for beta testing very soon.
The Sunday Bagman game this week will be on Monkey Harris's UK Newskool Bagman server.
Game details:-

See you there :)
Fredz has just started work on a new Bagman map which will be called Team Doom.
It's based on Doom3 :)
Here are a couple of early screenshots.
I have put together a complete install package for the KPQ2V3 mod.
KPQ2V3 is an old mod that is a Kingpin-Quake2 hybrid. It supports both Kingpin weapons and items and Quake2 weapons and items. You can play death match , team death match or bagman (but there are no KPQ2v3 bagman maps).
There is also a grappling hook, personal teleports and a jetpack (but none of the maps seem to have a jetpack in them). There are 32 maps for the mod included in the zipfile.
Recently Elfor sent me a client file zipfile for the mod containing client fiels and all the maps. So I dediced to do a complete install package with client files, maps, and server files. I also included the Enhanced server file (kpded2) so ppl can run a public server if they want to.
It took a while to put together as I had to find some missing files, test everything out, set up a pak1 file, add a binds.cfg file with all the custom key binds and create some scripts so you dont have to bind extra keys for the Quake 2 weapons. To swap to the Quake 2 weapons you can just press the normal weapons keys twice (for example if you press the 3 key twice you will switch beteen the Kingpin shotgun and the Quake 2 super shotgun).
I included several readmes on installation, all the custom binds, configuring and running a server etc. There are also two bat files included so you can quickly start either a public or lan server.
You can download the KPQ2V3 Full Install from here.
Just extract/unzip to your Kingpin folder.
This Thursday's game at 9.30pm UK time will be the Capture the Flag Mod on the Newskool CTF Server.
Game details:-
Server : Newskool CTF
IP : 37.247.117.19:31514
Date : Thursday 22nd March
Time : 21.30 (9.30pm) UK Time/5.30pm EST Time
Check the World clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9.30pm UK time here.
If you don't have the CTF client files you can download the files from the server but if you want to get them before hand to save time you can grab the client files (includes all CTF maps) from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder.
I have remade the Welcome to Club Mayhem death match map.
The original map was a rip of the single player bar_sy Salty Dog level. It's a small map set in a bar but only had four player spawns, some texture mis-alignments, doors that needed to be activated to open and no clip brushes.
I got hold of the map source file for bar_sy from the Kingpin SDK and have remade the map.
I removed the doors and the bar counter that needed to be opened, made the bar taller so you can jump in and out of it, added clip brushes so you don't get caught on the dart boards etc. I added more player spawns, kept most of the weapon and item locations from the original Welcome to Club Mayhem map but changes some of them. I left most of the single player props in and the lighting gives the bar a nice warm and glowing feeling :)
You can download Welcome to Club Mayhem remake from here.
Just unzip/extract all files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
Monkey Harris has updated the Linux version of the Hitmen mod to now work with the Enhanced Server Files (kpded2).
So you can now run public servers and have all the benefits of using the kpded2 files such as players being able to download the grappling hook files (pak1).
You can download the updated Linux Hitmen files from here.

BoA and Hypov8 have collaborated on a nice new custom skin for the tommygun which will be used in the GunRace mod.
RioTZ is a mod that doesn't get much attention really. It's been around for a long time and went through a major transformation when version2 was released.
So what I have done is created two download folders in our downloads section for RioTZ now. They are RioTZ-classic which contains version 1 files and RioTZ which contains the latest files.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RioTZ Classic
Originally RioTZ was a tactical, round based, team last man standing mod. The two teams are Mobsterz and Gangsters. Each map is played over a certain number of rounds and the map is won by the team who wins the most rounds.
The maps are medium to large and quite often it comes down to racing the clock with one team trying to find the last player from the other team who is hiding somewhere in the map.
When you join a game you receive all weapons but a limited amount of ammo so you can't just go blasting away otherwise you'll soon have no ammo and be left with just a pipe. If you get fragged you spectate the round until one team wins by fragging all of the other team.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RioTZ
When RioTZ version 2 was released it had changed into a rocket arena stlye mod. It's still round based, team last man standing mod and you still spawn with all weapons. But now there is no self damage, you have unlimited ammo and you spawn with full armour.
RioTZ maps are now arena style maps with lots of jumps.
The most recent version of RioTZ (ver3.1) was created by Fredz and he just mentioned to me that if you change dmflags from the default 26396 to 1812 that you can then play more like the original RioTZ classic style as there is no longer infinite ammo and self damage is turned back on. Of course it would be best to use the original maps too.
You can check out all the files here:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elfor has put together a pakfile that contains the RioTZ client files (which are basically the team skins and RioTZ console background) and all the RioTZ maps.
If you install this then you can join Mac's RioTZ server and wont have to download anything.
You can download the client files with maps from here.
All the RioTZ files just need to be unzipped to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
Acc has released a new death match map for Kingpin called Raw Meat.
It is a conversion of the map from Duke Nukem 3D. It is a largish map set in and around a sushi bar. It has 16 player spawns and plenty of weapons. It uses both Kingpin and Duke3D textures.
Another good map by Acc that you can check out here.
The Sunday Bagman game this week will be on Monkey Harris's UK Newskool Bagman server.
Game details:-
Server : Sunday Bagman
IP : 37.247.117.19:31512
Date : Sunday 11th March
Time : 21.00 (9pm) UK Time\16.30 (4.30pm) Eastern Standard Time
Check the World clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9.00pm UK time here.
Grab the complete Bagman maps map-pack from here.
Btw if you don't have a Kingpin server browser you can grab Gamespylite from here.
If you have been meaning to come for a game but haven't so far stop putting it off and come join in the fun :)
Acc has updated his 'Images to WAL textures' utility program. The program allows you to convert many image formats (bmp, pcx, gif, png, tga, jpg) to Quake II WAL files.
Acc explaines why the update:-
...updated the program to version 0.4 because Hypov8 told me animated textures could be achieved by compiling maps with properly configured WAL textures. This version automatically links animated frames (files have to start with a + followed by a one-digit number from 0 to 9, for instance: +0anim1.tga, +1anim1.tga, +2anim1.tga, etc.)
You can download the Img2wal utility from here.
You can see examples of maps that have used animated from here:-
Board Level (animated numbers on chip)
Arena Gate (animated flames)
elfor has created levelshots for several hundred maps that didn't have them.
Levelshots are the small map pictures you see when you select a map on the map voting screen, at the end of the current map, in multiplayer on most servers.
So I combined the exisitng levelshots with some I had made over th last few months and the ones Elfor submitted and have created a new Levelshots zipfile. I would say there aren't too many maps now that don't have a levelshot.
If you play online you will already have some of these levelshots but you may as well download the zipfile and get all the available ones :)
You can download the updated Levelshots from here.
Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

This Thursday's game at 9.30pm UK time will be 'Instagib' on a Newskool Server.
Monkey Harris has added an Instagib mode to the Monkey Mod and wants to try it out.
Game details:-
Server : Newskool Instagib
IP : 37.247.117.19:31513
Date : Thursday 8th March
Time : 21.30 (9.30pm) UK Time\16.30 (4.30pm) Eastern Standard Time
Check the World clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9.30pm UK time here.
Instagib information from Monkey Harris:-
If you're unfamiliar with instagib, it's like the hitmen silencer rounds with one-hit kills, but with added lasers and gibs. I've also enabled the crowbar for it.
Another thing that instagib often has is a form of rocket jumping (but without self-damage) that can be used (with practice) to whiz around the map. I've included that, and it can be adjusted/disabled on the day depending on what people want.
Another great death match map from the early days of Kingpin is Tower Arena by Bolt.
It's a largish map that was released in 1999. It uses all Kingpin default textures and is set in a tower style structure. There is one main arena and many exits that lead to stairs which take you up to several rooms that overlook the main arena. There are ample weapons and others items and a even a secret room.
You can download Tower Arena from here.
elfor has created a new zipfle for the Luschen Botmatch server that contains all the maps in rotation and the custom models that the bots use.
This is very handy if you like to play on the Botmatch server and don't alredy have all the files.
You can download the Luschen Botmatch zipfile from here.
Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
The Botmatch server is the place to be :)
If you're looking for a game and no one is aorund then join the Luschen Botmatch server.
Other people will proably see you there and join in.
The Sunday Bagman game this week will be on Killa's Bagman server starting at 9pm UK time.
Game details:-
Server : Sundays Bagman Game
IP : kp.hambloch.com:31519
Date : Sunday 4th March
Time : 9pm UK time
Check the World clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9.00pm UK time here.
Btw if you don't have a Kingpin server browser you can grab Gamespylite from here
You can watch a Youtube video of highlights of one of our previous Bagman game nights here.
We used to play this death match map, Tower (play2.bsp), all the time in the early days of Kingpin when there weren't many custom maps available.
The map is totally crazy with a few players :)
It's a very vertical map with a small ground area and platform lifts to small upper levels. You can jump from the top level all the way back to the ground.
There are heaps of weapons but no cooling mods (due to them being mispelled as colling) .
***Update Monday 5th March***
elfor has edited the Tower map, using Quark, and renamed the cooling mods so they now show up in the map.
You can download the fixed Tower map from here.
Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder.
Acc has uploaded a new version of his Raw Meat Duke Nukem 3D death match map conversion that he would like people to beta test and leave some feedback.
You can downlaod the map from his forum post here, test it out, then leave him some feedback.
If you aren't registered in that forum you can always leave your feedback about the map in the comments of this news post.
Here is a map you never see any more.
Shroom City is a weird and wonderful, small, death match map made by Sonik.
Sonik described it as Kingpin on drugs and once you load it up you will see what he meant.
You should probably listen to White Rabbit while playing this map especially after you have found the secret room :)
You can download Shroom City from here.
Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder
