New Death Match Map - Brick

The Death Match map I have been working on recently is now released.

Brick is a smallish death match map converted to Kingpin from Quake.

The map has an urban theme with a central building surrounded by a street, other buildings and a basketball court.

It has ample weapons and items and uses mostly Kingpin standard textures.

The map was originally made for Quake by xstephx.

Full credit to xstephx for making the original map.

You can downlaod Brick (dm_brick.bsp) from here.

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

Version 4 Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch

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

Here's a patch update that adds support for hi-res versions of PCX files (in PNG format as described earlier). colormap.pcx is excluded. It also adds support for models in the "hires" folder. The patch will normally refuse to load a file from "hires" if it isn't also present in the normal path, but an exception is made for images in the "models" folder so that "hires" models can have their own custom skins. The "imagelist" command has also been modified to clearly show (with an "H") when "hires" files are loaded.

You can download MH Kingpin patch test ver 4 from here.

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

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

Barren Meadow Single Player Mission

It's Halloween season so it's a perfect time to play Acc's fantastic horror themed single player mission called Barren Meadow.

Acc's description of the mission:-

Barren Meadow is a single-player unit for Kingpin following most of the original design choices: it puts the emphasis on shooting, rewards exploration, has a hub connecting multiple action maps and many options to defeat your adversaries (from weapon modifications to hirable henchmen). It features spooky environments and foes, ideal for a spooky Halloween fix. The campaign isn't that long and will last you for an hour to an hour and a half (maybe more on harder difficulties).

You can download Barren Meadow from here.

Make sure you get the patch12 as well.

Read the index.html file in the doc folder for install instructions and everything you need to know about the mod.

Another New Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch

If you have been reading the recent posts here, you will have seen that has been updating his MH Kingpin patch to support hires graphics for Kingpin.

He has now supplied another test version of his patch which you can get from here.

I noticed that Kingpin's image resampling hadn't been modified for this hi-res stuff yet, which meant it would crash when reducing a very wide image to a not quite so wide image (eg. 4096 to 2048 px). Here's a patch update to fix that.

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

Just extract the files into your Kingpin folder. Extract the test version last and overwrite the existing wsock32.dll

Also StixsmasterHD4k has confirmed he will be making a 1k pack of all the standard Kingpin textures.
