Screens From Sunday's Bagman Game

Thanks to everyone who turned up to the game  - we set a new player record for the weekly games with 28 ppl in the server ☺

Discord

Some of you might already have noticed that the Discord link has been changed. The reason for that is simple: The original Discord server is owned by a guy who randomly bans people from the Kingpin Discord Server, seemingly for no reason. He also constantly breaks the rules of both Discord and Steam by posting personal attacks:

That is why I have replaced the link.

New Kill Confirmed/Death Match Map - Shipment Remake

This is a remake of the popular Shipment map from CoD MW2 by Mr Damage.

The map is made for the new Kill Confirmed mod but can be used with normal DM and any DM style mod (GunRace, Hitmen etc).

Its a smallish, arena style map and is filled with shipping containers, giving it its name. The map is almost entirely symmetrical in design, with two containers on the west and east sides of the map, one of which can be walked through either side, many containers in the middle (two of which can be entered), two containers on the north and south sides of the map, one of which can be entered on a side, and lots of detail around the map.

Hypov8 was a great help with this map, creating some new container textures and working on some of the containers, redesigning some of the floor area, adding the outside area of the map, also adding some of the detail around the map and various other things.

Thanks to everyone who helped beta test the map and also to Elfor for his suggestions.

You can download Shipment Remake from here.

Download and open the zipfiles, then just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch Updated To Ver8

Monkey Harris has updated his Kingpin patch to version 8.

You can download MH Kingpin Patch ver8 from here.

Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and overwrite existing files if asked to do so.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A summary of the new features:-

Adds a raw mouse input mode that bypasses Windows' mouse motion processing.

Adds a hybrid directional lighting mode that combines the map's lightmap
with the normal "junior" lighting to prevent too dark shading of
players/NPCs in areas of the map that are bright. The directional
lighting option has also been moved to the visuals menu.

Fixes dynamic lights (eg. muzzle flashes and explosions) so that they
light up players/NPCs properly when directional lighting is enabled.

Limits surface charring (eg. from explosions and flames) to 75% to avoid
the map becoming pitch black. Charring also no longer affects the
lighting of players/NPCs or items except for props.

Adds the option to associate DM2 demo files with Kingpin, so that they
can be played from Windows Explorer.

Fixes jerky demo playback (particularly during fast movement).

Adds demo rewinding (by scrolling the mouse wheel back).

Adds the option of pausing a demo at the end instead of unloading it.

Fixes several flamethrower issues, including the visibility of flames in
demos.

Improves word wrapping of chat text.

Extends the "redownload" command to also cover maps when there is a
version conflict with the server.

Improves download speeds on connections with packetloss.

Adds a fix for Kingpin not loading properly the first time after booting
on Windows 7.

Kill Confirmed Mod Linux Files Released

Goat has now released the V1.04 Kill Confirmed mod Linux files.

The zipfile contains the Linux server files, documentation, client files and two custom maps.

You can download the Kill Confirmed Linux files from here.

The only other file you need to run a public Kill Confirmed Linux server is the KPDED2 Enhanced Server file which you can download from here.

Quake 1 The Edge Map Conversion

Did you know that the Famous Quake 2 map The Edge (Q2DM1) was also made for Quake 1?

It was avavilable in the Quake Arcade Tournament Edition that unfortunately never made it to commercial release.

I found the map online and converted it for the GunRace mod but it is also available for normal death match play.

Most people would know the Quake 2 version but this version features Quake textures (of course), which I kept in the Kingpin conversion, and some teleports.

You can download Q1DM The Edge from here.

Download and open the zipfiles, then just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

Sick City 2018 Death Match Map

Sick City 2018 is another of the maps I made for the GunRace mod that is available for death match as well.

It is a remake of the old Sick City map (sickre.bsp). It is retextured with Redneck Rampage textures and also has some RR sounds added.

I fixed some bugs from the original map and changed some of the weapon and item amounts and placement. I also added many more player spawns as the original only had four.

You can download Sick City 2018 from here.

New Mod On The Way - Thug Floor

Fredz and Hypov8  are working on a new mod based on the game Killing Floor called Thug Floor.

The idea is that players face 10 waves of enemy AI in each map. Each wave of enemie increases in size and toughness. Players receive points for killing enemy AI. At the end of each wave players can purchase weapons, ammo, health and armour with these points.

The mod is at an early stage of development and you may see people testing it at different times so feel free to join in.

Thursday Game Of Death Match & GunRace Mod 12th March

The Thursday Games this week will be split between Death Match and the GunRace Mod.

 Monkey Harris has included a new random mode in the Monkey Mod (like in the new Kill Confirmed mod) and this will be in place on Thursday so death match will include standard DM and other modes like Real Mode, Instagib and rocket mode.

Server Details:-

KFG Arena[1] Death Match Map

Joint is yet another player who is back playing Kingpin. KFG Arena[1] is the first map he released many years ago.

It's a medium sized map with a simple texture plan. It's a good map, in the classic DM style, with many areas to frag in.

You can download KFG Arena[1] from here.

A few years after the map was released KFG Whyte the KFG clan leader asked me to redo the map and give it a Central Towers theme.

I did this and released the map as kfgdm1_re.

You can download kfgdm1_re from here.

Download and open the zipfiles, then just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

The Frag Box Death Match Map

{SSF}Populous is back playing Kingpin so it's a good time to post about his old The Frag Box death match map.

The Frag Box is a simple one room DM map made by {SSF}Populous and {SSF}Million. It's a one room map with a drugs and porn theme.

It is a largish box room area with a smaller room inside. You can climb onto the roof of the inner room and also there are drug boxes in the corners of the larger room that you can climb up to get weapons.

There is also a secret room that features a classic South Park sound byte.

You can download The Frag Box from here.

Download and open the zipfile, then just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

More Kingpin Clan Demos Added

[BEER]Sadouk, who is back playing Kingpin again, sent me some old clan demos of [BEER] vs other clans.

It's always interesting to watch these clan demos to see how serious the matches were :) and, for long term players to see old familiar names.

You can download the [BEER] clan demos from here.

Just extract/unzip these files to your Kingpin folder. The zip is setup so that they will extract to kingpin/main/demos.

To watch them you open the console and type:

map xxxxxxxx.dm2

for example

map alcovsbeer.dm2

If the console doesn't retract just press space and esc and you should be ok.

Kill Confirmed Mod Updated To V1.04

Goat has updated his Kill Confirmed mod to v1.04.

It's only small changes but you will need the updated files to join the Newskool Kill Confirmed server.

You can download Kill Confirmed v1.04 files from here. 

Download the files, open the zipfile, and then just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations. Overwrite any files if asked to do so.

Alernatively, if you have ver7 of the MH patch and try to join the Kill Confirmed server with old files it will give you the option of typing in redownload (then you will simply d/l the latest files and they will overwrite the exisiting files).
