Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

The zipfile also containe all known custom skisn for the model and there are a ton of them.

You can download the updated Sydney player model from here.

A Little KingpinQ3 News

A few weeks ago 0xA5EA put up a Poll at the KingpinQ3 website basically asking whether the project should keep going.

If you like the idea of KingpinQ3 which is:-

Our goal is to merge Kingpin's unique atmosphere and gameplay with the capabilites of a singinificantly modified Id-Tech3 engine. The Id-Tech3 engine was released under the GPL a few years ago and KingpinQ3 is based on this engine.

then why not take a few seconds to go over there and vote in the Poll.

New Version Of KPDED2 Enhanced Server File

Monkey Harris has released version 4 of the KPDED2 Enhanced Server file. It's now out of beta :)

The KPDED2 file allows you to run dedicated public servers. In your server shortcut you just replace the kingpin.exe with the kpded2.exe.

KPDED2 fixes a number of bugs and security holes and also adds many new improvements.

The zipfile contains a very comprehensive readme which you should read.

The readme does include some suggested Quick Start settings and most of the new default settings are fine so you wont need to change/add too many commands to your server.cfg file.

The main changes in the new version are:-

improved download speed management (new "sv_bandwidth" config option)
support for the latest Monkey Harris's Kingpin Patch's compression feature.
added a "fixfilenames" command on Linux to make it easy to convert filenames to lowercase on Linux servers.

You can downloAd the KPDED2 files from here:-

KPDED2 Linux

KPDED2 Windows
