Acc has updated his mapping tool that automatically converts entities in Quake 2 maps to Kingpin entities. This program will now also rescale any compiled Quake II level to the specified factor.
Make sure to read the enclosed readme for more information.
You can download the KPQ2conv utility program from here.
I have converted The Abandoned Base map from Quake. The map is the third death match level in Quake and was designed by John Romero.
It's a large map and apparently is the most popular Quake death match level.
I made two versions. A straight conversion of the map keeping the original Quake textures (kpq1dm3) and a version with Kingpin textures and two small structural changes (kpq1dm3_v2).
Update 14th April : The bug in kpq1dm3 has been fixed and I have uploaded the new version. Sorry about that.
You can grab the maps from here:-
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder.

Hypov8 has worked with Acc to create a new mapping tool for Kingpin. This tool will allow lighting in maps to appear as it is intended to look. It also converts everything to lowercase (Kingpin really doesn't like uppercase map names or texture names).
I asked Acc if he could help me with an issue in radiant. When compiling light you see 'missing xxx.wal'
So he spent a good part of his night to add some additional features to his image to .wal converter.
It now can work with the file names listed inside a bsp file.
So every time you compile your map. It looks for any missing .wal files used in the bsp and creates them. AUTOMATICALLY
Mappers can download the new tool from here.
Extract to you Kingpin folder. Open kpradaint and set preference path to kingpin.exe. load project(qe4) from file menu.
You should be set to compile maps with included new fixes. (qe4 for kingpin/main game)
If you have any feedback leave it in the comments below or i nthis forum post here.
When I was helping DrBrain set up his new server I found this map in his maps folder.
Evil Tower (kpq2-dm_towerx.bsp) is a Quake2 map converted to Kingpin by {GT}Knight.
It is a largish one room map that has a tower in the centre. It only uses a few textures and they are all custom ones. It has ample weapons and items mostly scattered around the edges of the room. DrBrain said it was a very popular map back in the day.
You can download Evil Tower from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder.
