It's a largish DM map that uses all standard Kingpin textures. It has one of every weapon except I couldn't find the HMG (although it has a cooling mod).
The original map for Qauke 3 was made by ENTE.
You can download Q3 Pad Home from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
New Death Match Map - Brick
The Death Match map I have been working on recently is now released.Brick is a smallish death match map converted to Kingpin from Quake.
The map has an urban theme with a central building surrounded by a street, other buildings and a basketball court.
It has ample weapons and items and uses mostly Kingpin standard textures.
The map was originally made for Quake by xstephx.
Full credit to xstephx for making the original map.
You can downlaod Brick (dm_brick.bsp) from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
Version 4 Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch
Yet another new test version of the MH Kingpin patch. All the updates are to add support for hires graphics.Here's a patch update that adds support for hi-res versions of PCX files (in PNG format as described earlier). colormap.pcx is excluded. It also adds support for models in the "hires" folder. The patch will normally refuse to load a file from "hires" if it isn't also present in the normal path, but an exception is made for images in the "models" folder so that "hires" models can have their own custom skins. The "imagelist" command has also been modified to clearly show (with an "H") when "hires" files are loaded.
You can download MH Kingpin patch test ver 4 from here.
Make sure you also have the current released version from here.
Just extract the files into your Kingpin folder. If you download both extract the test version last and overwrite the existing wsock32.dll
Barren Meadow Single Player Mission
It's Halloween season so it's a perfect time to play Acc's fantastic horror themed single player mission called Barren Meadow.Acc's description of the mission:-
Barren Meadow is a single-player unit for Kingpin following most of the original design choices: it puts the emphasis on shooting, rewards exploration, has a hub connecting multiple action maps and many options to defeat your adversaries (from weapon modifications to hirable henchmen). It features spooky environments and foes, ideal for a spooky Halloween fix. The campaign isn't that long and will last you for an hour to an hour and a half (maybe more on harder difficulties).
You can download Barren Meadow from here.
Make sure you get the patch12 as well.
Read the index.html file in the doc folder for install instructions and everything you need to know about the mod.

Another New Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch
If you have been reading the recent posts here, you will have seen that Monkey Harris has been updating his MH Kingpin patch to support hires graphics for Kingpin.He has now supplied another test version of his patch which you can get from here.
I noticed that Kingpin's image resampling hadn't been modified for this hi-res stuff yet, which meant it would crash when reducing a very wide image to a not quite so wide image (eg. 4096 to 2048 px). Here's a patch update to fix that.
Make sure you also have the current released version from here.
Just extract the files into your Kingpin folder. Extract the test version last and overwrite the existing wsock32.dll
Also StixsmasterHD4k has confirmed he will be making a 1k pack of all the standard Kingpin textures.

Killerz Mod Update
Hypov8 is continuing to update the Killerz mod.He has changed/updated the hud
added sounds for start of the Killer round and when the Killer dies
Added an option for the Killer to be covered in flames.
The Mobster and Killer displays on the hud have been replaced. The Killer now sees his name in red as the Killer in lower right of hud. The other players now see the Killer's name in green on lower right of their hud.
During the death match round the hud will display number of kills you still need to become the Killer and your current position on the player table.
When someone become the Killer and the Killer round starts the "are you ready to be f*cked" sound will play. When the Killer dies (whether by being killed, suiciding, or even if the Killer leaves the server the "ding" sound ill play).
When someone becomes the Killer that have a coloured glow. The default is red but there are several other colours as well and now Hypo has added the option of the Killer being covered in flames.

Killerz Mod Being Updated
Hypov8 is currently updating the old Killerz mod.Killerz is a mod made in the early days of Kingpin by the Atrophy Mod Team.
It a simple enough mod, the game starts like normal death match. Everyone races to be the first to reach a set number of frags (2 - 5 set by server option). The first player to reach the required number of frags becomes the Killer.
The killer regains full health and gets full armour.
He also has a ooloured glow (another server option and can be red, yellow, blue, pink, aqua) All the other players (now called Mobsters) have to gang up on the Killer and take him down.
During the Killer phase all the Mobsters can only kill the Killer and have a white glow around their weapons to distinguish them from the Killer. Once he is killed the DM round restarts and the race is on to become the next Killer.
There are server options that can be set to determine how many frags the Killer gets for fragging a Mobster, for suiciding and how many frags a Mobster gets for fragging the Killer.
The Killer shows up as red in the scoreboard, there are regular screen messages displaying who the current Killer is and, during the Killer phase the Killer sees 'Killer' on the lower right of his HUD and the Mobsters see 'Mobster'. Once the Killer is killed the Killer and Mobster displays disappear from the HUD indicating the DM round has restarted.
Hypov8 has added Monkey Mod 2.0 support, fixed any bugs in the mod and added a few features to make the mod more playable.
Hopefully the revised mod will be ready for testing soon.
Here are some early screenshots (before some of the features had been added)
Hi Res Skins For Thug, Runt & Bitch
Fredz has created hires versions of all the standard skins for the thug, runt and bitch models (and also the dog, rat and shrimp!).Every texture is upscaled with 4x. Until maximum 1028 pixels.
All the textures were done with Topaz Gigapixel AI v5.4.
The zipfile is 542.5 mb
Please make sure you have MH's Kingpin Patch v9 and the lastest test version here.
You can grab the hires skin pack from here.
Just extract/unzip the skin files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations (main/hires/models/actors/*.*).
Central Hotel Death Match Map
Recently when playing on the Luschen Botmatch server I saw I map I don't think I had seen before. The map is called Central Hotel (hotel.bsp) and was made by WhoopAss back in December of 2001.Central Hotel is a smallish death match map set in and around a hotel. There is only one of each weapon but nearly every room has one, plus ammo etc.
You can download Central Hotel from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
If you want to check out the map join the Luschen Botmatch server, open the console (tilde key) and type - changemap hotel.
New Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch
Monkey Harris has released a new test version of his MH Kingpin patch.This new version adds support for hi-res images of any type.
Here's a patch update for you lot to try. It should add support for hi-res images of any type (not only map textures) under a "hires" folder, eg.
you may have:
"main/hires/textures",
"main/hires/env",
"main/hires/models",
"main/hires/players",
"main/hires/pics".
As the hi-res files don't replace the originals, it's possible to switch them on/off, which can be done with a new "r_hires" cvar (enter "vid_restart" to apply changes).
Hopefully someone can create some nice hi-res images to make use of this.
Here's another patch update to add support for PNG images in the "hires" folder (it'll look for TGA first and then PNG), as well as fixing the path search order so that mod-specific customisations still have priority. It also re-enables the "gl_maxtexsize" cvar for setting the image size limit (larger will be downsampled), with a default value of 4096 (not that I think it'd be a good idea to make them that big!).
Yu can grab the new patch from here.
Just extract the file to your Kingpin folder and overwrite the existing file.
High Resolution Textures
Dagon is currently creating new Hires textures for Kingpin. These will be all the standard Kingpin textures and the final product will probably be in png format. These new textures will reside in a new folder in main called hires (Kingpin/main/hires).Dagon is very experienced at creating upscaled textures. There are still some challenges, but work is progressing well.
Monkey Harris is in the process of updating his Monkey Harris Kingpin patch to support the new high resolution textures.
Here are some screens of the WIP.
