You can download the GunRace beta client files from the server but to save your self some time you can download them from here.
Just extract all files to your kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations (kingpin/gunrace_b1).
Don't worry if you haven't played in these weekly games before - come along and join in the fun - you will be made to feel most welcome :)
Monkey Harris has released version 4 of the KPDED2 Enhanced Server file. It's now out of beta :)
The KPDED2 file allows you to run dedicated public servers. In your server shortcut you just replace the kingpin.exe with the kpded2.exe.
KPDED2 fixes a number of bugs and security holes and also adds many new improvements.
The zipfile contains a very comprehensive readme which you should read.
The readme does include some suggested Quick Start settings and most of the new default settings are fine so you wont need to change/add too many commands to your server.cfg file.
The main changes in the new version are:-
improved download speed management (new "sv_bandwidth" config option) support for the latest Monkey Harris's Kingpin Patch's compression feature. added a "fixfilenames" command on Linux to make it easy to convert filenames to lowercase on Linux servers.
Team Keypoint is a large sized, classic urban style, Bagman map that I made around ten years ago. We were talking about it in the server on Sunday so thought I would post about it.
The Nikkies and Dragons' bases are situated in urban street areas and the centre area, where the money drop is, consists of a small basketball court and a container storage area. It uses mostly standard KP textures but there are a few custom ones included.
There are 10 player spawns for each team and ample weapons and other items placed throughout the map. It has some nice lighting giving it a feeling of being dusk or maybe dawn :)
It also contains two samples of Cypress Hill songs which you will hear when you are depositing money in the team's 'safes'.
