Version 5 Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch

has released another new test version of the MH Kingpin patch. All the updates are to add support for hires graphics.

Here's another patch update for testing. The main change is that images (except pics) are loaded asynchronously (in the background) to reduce delays and stutters (eg. when a player joins the game or changes skin). Another change is that mipmaps are generated by the video card (when supported) instead of Kingpin doing it, to perhaps save a little more time. Both of these changes apply to standard and hi-res files but would be particularly beneficial on the larger hi-res stuff.

"r_hires" cvar changes are also applied immediately now (no need for "vid_restart") and there's a visuals menu option for it (when the "main/hires" dir is present). If there are no problems, I think the hi-res support is pretty much all done now.


You can download MH Kingpin patch test ver 5 from here.

Make sure you also have the current released version from here.

You can download the 1K Hires texture pack from StixworldHD 's website here.

Just extract the files into your Kingpin folder. If you download both extract the test version last and overwrite the existing wsock32.dll

Problems Running Steam Kingpin On Linux

Caffeine was having problems launching the Steam version of Kingpin on his Linux system.

He figured it out and has written a little guide in case others have the same issue.

1. Go to ~/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata and delete the folder called 38430

2. Go to ~/SteamLibrary/steamapps/shadercache and delete the folder called 38430

3. On steam, right click on Kingpin, click on Properties..., then on Compatibility

3.1 Check Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool

3.2 Select GE-Proton8-4

4. Try running the game again

Btw 38430 is the Steam game ID for Kingpin.

New Death Match Map - DM Ponder

Ponder is a remake of the macdmponder Quake 2 deathmatch map, done by me. The original map was made by who gave me the map to convert or remake for Kingpin.

Ponder is a smallish sized, spacey type, death match map. It is a two-level map with a large vat of Lava in the corner of the upper level that you will have to jump across to get the HMG.
There are teleports in both ends of the lower level of the map, that teleport you to the upper level.

The upper level consists of several buildings, one with a large pool of water where the Grenade Launcher is located underwater.

There are ample weapons and items and fifteen player spawns.

The map features mostly custom textures.

You can download Ponder from here.


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

Death Match Map Added - Kpdmso

Elfor sent another map we didn't have. This one is a death match version of the Assassins Stronghold Opposition map by Tunnleram. He originally ported the map from Quake2 for Bagman.

I took the bagman version and cut it in half while adding a few pathways to allow for better flow.

You can download Assassins Stronghold Opposition DM from here.

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

Kingpin Speedrun 27:46 Minutes

A player called Vexuras did this speedrun on 23rd June 2021. It's the fastest I've seen.
