Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch Updated To Ver7

Monkey Harris has updated his Kingpin patch to version 7.

A summary of the new features:-

-Fixes a few bugs

-Adds a new "redownload" command that can be used to download updated PAK files from
the server instead of visiting a website to get them.

Sometimes when you join a mod server the mod may have updated its pak file(s) and you still have the old version pak file(s).

Before this latest version of the patch when you tried to join that mod server you would get a message to say "You need v.x.xx client files to play on this server. Get them from kingpin.info" .
Now you can just type in 'redownload' and the latest pak file(s) will download and overwrite your outdated ones. This is a nice new feature.

See here:-

-Adds a notice to the Visuals and Options menus when playing certain mods telling you that if you make any config changes (change controls, visual settings etc etc) they won't get saved and you should set the changes in normal non-mod Kingpin.

See here:-

You can download MH Kingpin Patch ver7 from here.

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

Storage Dump Deathmatch Map

Here is an older map that Cujo converted from Half-Life with some help from me.

It is called Storage Dump and is a large death match map set in some sort of storage facility. It has both indoor areas and outdoor ones as well.

It has twelve player spawns and plenty of weapons and items including three HMG's. 

You can download Storage Dump from here.

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

New Kingpin Video

Here is a new video of Kingpin. It's a short 5 minute video of a player running around Rival Turf.

I'm posting it here as it is made by PropHeT Old School Gamer who is part of a retro game group who like to help keep old games alive including Kingpin :)

Please watch the vid and consider giving it a thumbs up. Maybe one or two of their group members might come for a game with us :)

Crime Capital Death Match Map

Crime Capital is a death match map made by Cat back in 2003.

It is a medium to large , urban style, map. The map has alot of really nice touches in the sense of broken buildings, interesting angles and a true gritty Kingpin feel.

There is 1 small ouside area and the rest of the map takes place within the buildings and two hidden areas.

There are 24 player spawns and ample weapoins and items.

You can download Crime Capital from here.

Another Luschen Botmatch Update

Hypov8 and [M] have made further improvements to the bots on the Luschen Botmatch server.

As you probably know the Luschen Botmath server can be changed to play DM, Team DM, Hitmen and Bagman). Hypo and [M] have made the bots better at Bagman now:-

When a BM map is played that they have never played, it is important that a Human joins both teams and goes to the home safe, so that they learn where that is.

Then when you play the map again, they should know ;)

Another improvement is that  all bots are actually in the game chat now. They even talk to one another.

When Humans chat a lot, it can get a bit annoying though. If you find it too much, just type “mute bot” or “shut up Kingpin” in chat and they will be quiet for 10mins.

Also the Kingpin bot now knows the name of the author of every map in rotation. If you type who made this map the bot will respond with the map name and who made it and possibly one or two other titbits aboutthe map.
