Hypov8 has completed his updates for GunRace and v1.2 is now released for both Windows and Linux.
The main updates from v1.0 are:-
Fixed a bug that allowed players to get final kill with shotty
Added weaponorder 4 (will rotate between machine guns)
Added weaponorder 5 (will rotate between shotguns)
Fixed bug that allowed players to spawn with Machete
Added support for limited number of custom models - male_homer, male_alien, male_bender, male_krafty, male_mrburns, male_themask, male_soldier, female_wilma and male_drfreak.
There was no official v1.1 release as it was a lot of test versions that kept changing as more things were added and fixed.
There are full install zipfiles for both Windows and Linux which include everything you need to run a server or just connect to one as a client - server files, client files, all the GunRace maps and the KPDED2 files so you can run a public server.
Grab them from here:-
GunRace Windows v1.2
GunRace Linux v1.2
Now there is also a patch that will update GunRace from v1.0 to v1.2.
So if you downloaded the full install for V1.0 you only need that.
GunRace v1.0 - v1.2 patch
But if you have played on the Luschen GunRace+bots server in the last couple of weeks you would have downloaded the updated client files in pak2 so you don't need to download anything more :)
The easiest way to check is to connect to the Luschen GunRace+bots server and in the top left hand corner of the hud it will tell you if your client files are out of date.
If you have old files you will see the message :-
Client files out of date.
Download at www.kingpin.info
As usual just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
Recently Hypov8 added GunRace weapon support to several models so they could be used with the GunRace mod. When he was doing that he actually fixed some issues with four player models.
Beavis&Butthead - rescaled, moved to the centre and fixed the seam.
Alien - fixed the seam and added Kingpin weapon support
Krafty - added Kingpin weapon support
Mr Burns - rescaled.
I have now created a new zipfile for Mr Burns which contains all the model files, all known skins, GunRace weapons and Mr Burns player sounds.
I added the player sounds becasue Monkrey Harris is owrking on adding individual player model sound support to an upcoming patch.
You can download the Mr Burns complete package from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
Monkey Harris has now released the Halloween mod server files for both Windows and Linux.
During the course of the last month he has made several improvements to the mod including:-
added more blood
added a custom_bm_map_file
added an INI file option to set a BM maplist
added an axe hitmen round
enabled the "changemap" command to load any map on the server
added a new bat hit sound (hit.wav)
and some other little tweaks
You can download the Halloween server files from here:-
Linux server
Windows server
Remeber, if you are going to run a public Halloween server you will need to use the KPDED2 Enhanced Server files:-
KPDED2 Linux
KPDED2 Windows
I have also updated the Halloween client files to include all the latest Halloween maps, levelshots for all 38 maps, and a new sound for the rocket launcher.
If you have been playing Halloween during the past few weeks you would already have downloaded all the new maps.
If you don't already have the Halloween client files you can download them from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations (kingpin/halloween).
elfor has created another levelshots zipfile with levelshots for 1642 maps.
He has updated a lot of the existing levelshots so they are now all uniform by being the same size and all have 2 borders.
In case you don't know what they are. Levelshots are the pictures you see when you vote for a map on the map voting screen at the end of the current map in multiplayer.
You can download the levelshots zipfile from here.
We just had a great game on the GunRace server.
There is a small group of players who play on the GunRace server most days so why not come along and join in the fun :)
If there is no one around you can still play against the bots there :)
Welcome to GvdH75 and Palindro and welcome back to Il Marziano :)
Deluxive has let me know that work is progressing on his new single player episode called Street Revenge.

You can see where he is up to here.

Fredz has uploaded the source files for another of the mods made by Atrophy. This time it's the Leveller mod.
Leveller is a simply but fun mod that tries to handicap players to make a more even playing field.
Basically everytime you kill someone your max health drops by 20 to a minimum of 20.
Everytime you are killed your health goes up by 20 to a max of 200.
If your handicap is 1 (20 health) and you manage a kill - you get 100 health automatically, the handicap is broken and you get a bonus frag.
There is a much more detailed explanation in the readme included in the Leveller zipfile.
This looks like it might be a good mod to have updated with Moneky Mod v2.0 and then to give it a try :)

Craig Kore has alerted me to the sad news that Drew Markham has passed away in June this year.
For anyone who doesn't know Drew was the founder of Xatrix Entertainment who developed Kingpin, the Redneck Rampage series, The Reckoning addon for Quake2 and several other games.
Without Drew Marham there would be no Kingpin: Life of crime.
You can read more about his life here.

I got an email from UnevenRatio saying he is going to get setup again and comeback to Kingpin. So I thought it was a good time to post about his old death match map he made called DM Shot Gun.
DM Shot Gun is a small death match map. It consists of two rooms with each room having two exits to the next room. The only weapon is the shotgun.
It has 8 player spawns and uses all standard Kingpin textures.
You can download DM ShotGun from here.
Fredz has uploaded an interview with John W. Anderson (aka Dr. Sleep) from just before Kingpin was released.
It's another interesting read.
Check it out here.
He also uploaded Pika Commander's conversation with Alex Maybery.

There was a texture missing from the zipfile of the KPDM1 Quaked map.
I have added the texture, a levelshot, and the source map file then uploaded the map again.
KPDM1 Quaked is KPDM1 remade in the Quake 3 style by Hypov8. It uses mostly Quake style textures and there are no ladders (as there are none in Quake 3 ). So it uses platforms and stairs instead. It also includes some Quake sounds. It's a very nice looking map.
You can download KPDM1 Quaked from here.

Kingpin is on sale at GoG.com for 66% off.

It's part of their weekly sale and will be on sale until October 15st, 10 PM UTC.
Here are some Russian lads playing real life Kingpin.
I have uploaded v1.3 of the QeffectsGL wrapper.
OpenGL pseudo-driver (wrapper) that adds some graphical enhancements to OpenGL-based games. You should place opengl32.dll and QeffectsGL.ini to the game executable's directory before running the game. If the game has multiple renderers available (e.g. Half-Life, Unreal), OpenGL renderer must be switched to.
If you want to check out how it looks you can grab the latest version here.
If you want to change back to normal at any time just remove the two files you added.
I have done a quick remake of the old piss_hole_jnr map for the Halloween mod. The new version os called Halloween Piss Hole.
It's a small one room map that is mayhem with a few people playing.
You can download the map (hw_piss_hole.bsp) from the Halloween server or you can grab it from here.

Last Sunday we set a new record for number of players in the server with 26 people. Lets smash that record this Thursday :D
Pika Commando had a bit of a conversation, via PasteBin, with Alex Mayberry who was one of the level designers for Kingpin. It is quite an interesting read.
You can read it here.
On their Facebook page Interplay list their current top ten games (I assume from sales figures).
To check out where Kingpin is on the list check out the Interplay Facebook page here.
Felikkz7 sent in a couple of func train rotating tutorials for mappers we didn't have so I have added them.
You can check out all the example maps to help mappers that we host here.
Elfor sent in the v1.21 Kingpin patch in a zipfile.
So we now host the exe version and a zipfile version.
You only need the v1.21 patch if you are installing the original CD version. The Steam and GoG versions are already patched to v1.21.
So if you plan to install/reinstall Kingpin from the original CD you can download the v1.21 patch, in a zipfile, from here.
Just unzip/extract to your kingpin folder and overwrite the old exisitng files.
Pale streamed some of the Sunday game live on Twitch.tv
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/319714141
Congratulations to everyone wh attended the game as we managed to break our current player record, briefly, of 26 players in the server :)
Also welcome to phred, drproton and organic jerk :)
Felikkz7 sent in some mapping tutorials but it looks like we already hosted them.
For setting up the KPRAD editor (that comes with the game) I recommend the mapping for winxp tute which you can download from here.
One change I suggest is:-
In the QERadiant picture in the doco under ‘Views/Rendering’
you will see the 4th one along is selected (the one on the end)
I highly recommend using the 3rd one along.
We also host a zipfile called kp_map_tutorial. This has many mapping tutorials from making a simple one room map to advanced techniques.
You can download that one from here.
We host other mapping tutorials here and example maps here.
Felikkz7 sent in a couple of psychodelic style screenshots from last week's Halloween game.

I have updated the old Bigroom map that was made by Deefa. The old map had a few issues so I decided to update it but not to change too much just to fix it. The new map is currently called Bigroom 2018 beta.
I added some more spawn points and fixed the old ones so you don't spawn facing the wall.
I changed the stairs and middle elevated room so they are both much easier to manoeuvre.
I moved the HMG from the top walk way to the ground floor and made a few other weapon/item placement changes.
Did some minor texture changes and architectural changes.
You can download Bigroom 2018 beta from here.
The new map is rotating on the Luschen Gunrace+bots server - IP 91.115.225.182:31516
and the Luschen Botmatch server - IP 91.115.225.182:31510
I never realised that some of the bikes and cars used in Kingpin were based on real life models.
You can check out the makes of some of them at this page here.
Here is an interesting article from earlier this year about the making of Kingpin. It discusses how it was made, who was invloved, and why it was so controversial at the time.
Check the article out here.
They also have another article on Kingpin called The Influences of Kingpin.
Check that one out here.
It seems the game Dan Koppel envisioned was quite different from the one that was released.
Here are some screens from some of the maps that have been remade by Killa, plus one remake and a new map by me, for the soon to be released Haloween mod.
Nice to see Sailor return :)
