Street Revenge Demo Released

Mr.Goodfinger has released a demo version his Street Revenge Single Player Mission featuring the first episode (The Rundown) which consists of six maps and a cutscene.

As it is the first episode the weapons included in the maps are the crowbar, flashlight and pistol with the rate of fire mod. Of course more weapons are added in the later episodes.

Due to the use of many custom textures Street Revenge has a unique feel and look. But like other missions you will need to locate various items to progress (e.g. keys, combinations, explosives).

It's a simple storyline. You are trapped in the wrong part of town and you need to fight your way back to safety.

You can download the Street Revenge Demo from here.

Just run the Installer and follow on screen instructions.

Basically you browse where your Kingpin is installed and add the following in the install window - 

\revenge_singleplayer_demo

The Street Revenge Demo will be installed in kingpin/revenge_singleplayer_demo.

The installer will also add a desktop shortcut which you can use to run Strret Revenge.

Halloween Server Files Updated

Monkey Harris has updated the Halloween server files, for both Windows and Linux, to v1.01.

It's a minor update with the changes being:-

- Support for latest kpded2 geoip stuff
- Some little fixes

You can grab the Halloween server files from here.

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

*You only need these files if you plan to run a Halloween mod server.*
If you do plan to run a Halloween mod server you will also need the client files which contain all the maps.

You can grab download the Halloween mod client files from here.

New Halloween Maps Added To Client Files

I have updated the Halloween Client Files to include all the latest maps (so there is a total of 44 maps in the client files now).

The very latest map are :-

An updated version of the old Oholychurch map done by Killa

Modified versions for both DM and BM of the Q3DM1_Hellgate map also done by  Killa

A new map made for the mod called All Hallows Eve done by  Stigma and I.

You can grab the updated Halloween mod client files from here.

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

*If you have played the Halloween mod in the last couple of weeks you have probably already downloaded the new maps from the server so don't need the updated files*

Dark Elf Runt Skin

Another Dark Elf custom skin, this time for the Runt skin, made by DziQ back in 2003.

You can download Dark Elf Runt skin from here.

Just unzip all the files to your kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

Easiest way to select these skins is to:-

Pull down the console (tilde key ~)

Type in :-

skin "male_runt/dke dke dke"

New Modelling Video

The man who can do everything Hypov8, has a new modelling tutorial Youtube video out showing how to convert a Quake2 model to Kingpin using 3DS Max. This video is part 1 and part 2 should be out very soon.

Single Player Maps Archive

Quite often I see new players online who have only played the single player game. When I ask them if they have played any of the many custom single player missions usually the answer is no.

So this is just another opportunity to let people know that we host all the custom single player missiosn that have been released for Kingpin so far.

If you're looking to play some of the custom single player missions you can check them all out here.
