Another map that Jogger sent is a Bagman map made by Gravedigger. Gravedigger made popular Bagman maps in the early days of Kingpin.
Team Bunkerhill v2 is a typical two forts style map. It has the two team bases separated by an open land area. In this case the land area is sloped up until you get to the centre of the map then it slopes down towards the other team's base.
The bases are fairly standard, two levels, with weapons and items spread throughout plus two weapon cache rooms.
I'm not sure why he made you have to crouch to get into the weapons rooms but anyway.
The safe is on the lower level and needs to be opened with a switch on the upper floor. Once you have flipped the switch you can jump through a hole in the floor back down to the safe.
There are more than enough weapons and items.
There are three ways to get to the other team's base (sort of). There is the land mass between the bases and two side ledges accessed from the upper level of the team's base.
Overall the maps has a few small issues but, given a chance, it could be a fast and furious fun map.
You can download Team Bunkerhill v2 from here.
The Game this Sunday will be the Xmas Mod. It will be an hour or so of XMas Hitmen then the remainder of the night will be XMas Bagman.

Jogger sent me some old maps we don't have here at Kingpin.info. Most of them have issues of some kind (only a couple of player spawns, no weapons, way too big etc) but here is one that is ok.
Stronghold Opposition converted by *TD*(RW)Un, from Quake2, for Bagman. There are other versions of this classic Quake2 CTF map made for Bagman but this one is a direct conversion and uses all Quake2 textures and no structural changes.
If you have played Quake2 CTF then you know this map.
Like all early Bagman maps there are some neutral player spawns (so you can spawn in the middle of the map or also inside the enemy base) but I think that issue was fixed in a recent version of the Monkey Mod.

Method has arranged for Ryan Feltrin, one of the developers of Kingpin, to answer any questions ppl want to pose to him.
Becasue of problems with the timing trying to organise an actual Q and A this will take the form of written questions that will be sent to him and he will respond.
Ryan was a developer on Kingpin and mainly developed the AI and Bagman mode!
This from an old interview with him-
Ryan: My role for Kingpin was initially just to provide navigation and AI, however it soon branched out to include most technological additions and enhancements, like multiple colored light sources on characters (very important for the look and feel), character interaction system (RPG element), persistent level data (returning to a previous level should restore the world as it was when you left), effects (like flamethrower, bullet sparks, rocket flames), locational hit detection, multiple pain skins, shootable body elements (hats, cigars) and finally, the multiplayer code (and related Linux ports) and "Bagman" game mode.
Meth: How did you come up with idea to make a Bagman mode for KP?
Ryan: This was something that still there is a lot of conjecture over, however I
remain adamant that it was my idea. I was always a huge CTF fan from Quake1 and
even moreso Quake2. So adding a similar element to Kingpin was very important to
me. However, I wanted to make sure it had that Kingpin feel, so it couldnt just
be a straight copy. Since a fundamental aspect of the game was money, I figured
this should be the basis of the multiplayer also. The design just flowed from
there, pretty much.
So if you have a question you want to ask Ryan then just add it to the comments in this news post (click on where it says no comments or 1 comment etc).
After I converted the Claustrophobic Edge map by sst13 I showed him some screenshots. He was impressed and sent me another of his Quake maps to convert to Kingpin.
This one is called The Black Realm and is a small gothic style death match map. It is a one room map that contains several columns, seval wall torches, uses minimal textures and has 10 player spawns.
The map has the rocket launcher, tommy gun, shotgun, HMG and pistol mods. It has one set of armour and 7 small healths.
You can download The Black Realm from here.
Sorry for delay in releasing this map as my intenret was down for three days sigh.
XMas Immortal Combat is a Bagman map for the XMas mod and is a remake of the standard Team Imortal Combat Bagman map.
It has all the usuall XMas mod additions like Christmas music, decorations, Christmas trees, snow etc.
Other than that the only real change from the standard verson is that I changed some of the armour around after a suggestion form Xanarki.
You can download XMas Immortal Combat from here.
Here are some screenshots from the first three levels of the upcoming single player mission Strret Revenge being made by Mr.GoodFinger (aka Deluxive).
Check out more screens and leave a comment, if you want to, at his Street Revenge webpage here.

Unfortunately the Steam & GoG.com button for Kingpin wont show up if it is banned in your country, such as Germany.
It's part of their Winter sale and will be on sale until 3rd January.
My new map, Team Immortal Combat, is a small sized Bagman map. It is a remake of the death match map Immortal Combat (fragndie6_2018.bsp)
The team's bases are fairly spacious and contain two small weapon rooms. The middle section of the map is a small open area with walk ways that lead up to a platform with the money drop and side platforms with armour and ammo.
There are also two side passages that lead to the middle section or to the other Team's base.
The map uses a mixture of standard textures and custom textures.
There are ample weapons and items throughout the map.
You can downalod Team Immotal Combat (team_fragndie.bsp) from here.
After Elfor mentioned it, I found this article from September in which Brian Fargo, boss of inXiLe Entertainment, said that if The Bards Tale 4 is a big hit, that he'll celebrate by trying to buy back Interplay, the studio he co-founded back in the early '80s.
Its a long shot as he said TBT4 would need to seel 2 million copies in 18 months and a lot may have happened since Sept but it's still positive news for fans of all the old Interplay IPs including Kingpin of course.
You can read the article here.
Hypov8 created a MDX plugin for Neosis.
Noesis is a tool for previewing and converting between hundreds of model, image, and animation formats.

Noesis also features processing, conversion, and visualization options for many different types of volume data, including medical imaging formats such as Analyze 7.5, NifTI-1, and DICOM.

Just put kingpinmdx.dll in to the plugin folder from Noesis and you good togo.
There is no MDX export feature implimented only MDX viewer. But you can export to other formats.
Here is today's new map.
Claustrophobic Edge is a smallish, classic Quake medieval style, death match map that was converted from Quake. Elfor suggested I convert this map so I contacted the original author sst13 who gave his permission to convert it.
The map It has a nice tight layout with two atriums and three levels which are connected by stairs, 2 lifts and a teleporter. There are ten player spawns and ample weapons and items.
You can download Claustrophobic Edge from here.

Hopefully we will be able to play the latest maps that have been released this week.
I have updated the old Immortal Combat map I released in 2016.
I updated it because the map features screenshots of many of the players who play in the weekly games. Since the original version was released some players have left and many more have started playing in the weekly games so I have added screenshots of many of them to the updated version.
For those who don't know the map it is a smallish map that uses just about all custom textures (mostly from Daikatana).
It has a main courtyard area, with a ledge around the edge and walkways up to higher platforms where the HMG and some armour is.
There are four sets of stairs stairs leading down from the courtyard into two lower rooms.
It has ample weapons and items and twelve player spawns.
Hypov8 helped out with the original map by designing the courtyard floor and one of two other things.
You can download Immortal Combat 2018 (fragndie6_2018.bsp) from here.
Here is a new YouTube video highlighting how Kingpin single player looks when using the graphics mod Rag2Riches.
If you like how Kingpin looks using the mod you can grab Rags2Riches from here.
It also shows how to install the Monkey Harris and Captain Death Kingpin patches.
Here is a new death match map converted from Quake.
The map is called Sex Without A Kiss and is a smallish, urban style, death match map. The original author of the Quake version is Malevola.
It has a nice tight layout with three levels. There are twelve player spawns and ample weapons and items. The map also uses a custom sky.
You can download the map from here.
Just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
