Sunday Game Of Bagman
The Sunday Bagman game this week will be on Killa's Bagman server starting at 9pm UK time.
Game details:-
Server : Sundays Bagman Game
IP : kp.servegame.com:31519
Date : Sunday 5th March
Time : 9pm UK time
Maxclients : 24
Check the World clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9pm UK time here.
Come along and join in the fun and check out some of the many recent Bagman maps that have been released.
It is so cool that we get to play so many new maps when you consider the age of Kingpin. I would say that there are not that many games from the same era that still have that much content being released.
Another marathon session :)
CRASH Squad Mod News
Lots of news about the Crash Squad mod.
Monkey Harris has been updating the mod.
I have uploaded the Crash Squad Documentation to Kingpin Info so you can view it online.
Monkey has put up a CRASH Squad mod servr and there is a game planned for next Thursday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Monkey Harris has been updating the mod and incorporating the latest Moneky Mod features into it and also fixing a few bugs.
He has now released new Crash client files.
You can download the new client files from here.
Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location (kingpin/crash).
Please note that if you already have the current Crash client files then you will still be able to connect to the Crash server.
However you should rename the pak9 file that is in your crash folder to pak1.
The reason being is that the new client files are downloadable from the server and are in a pak1 file. If you don't already have a pak1 file in your crash folder it will download it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Their is comrehensive documentation in the client files and I have now uploaded that information to Kingpin Info so you can read it online. It tells you everything you need to know about the mod.
You can check it out here.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Monkey Harris has set up a new Crash mod server and there is a game planned for next Thursday night :)
Server details:-
Server : Newskool Crash Squad (auto-dl client)
IP : 37.247.117.19:31515
Once Monkey is confident that there are no errors with the update he will release the server files as well.
New Kingpin Patch By Monkey Harris
Monkey Harris has released a new patch for Kingpin.
This is a patch for Kingpin that fixes a number of bugs, and adds some other improvements too (see the readme). No files are modified by the patch, so it works with all Kingpin (v1.21) releases, including the Steam version. The WINMM.DLL file is the patch that gets loaded by Kingpin and PATCHCFG.EXE is a configuration app for the patch. Both files should be put in your Kingpin directory.
There are heaps of fixes and improvements, including custom screen resolutions, several download tweaks, console and hud fixes etc, and you can see a complete list here.
You can download Monkey's Kingpin patch from here.
If you already have the multi patch installed this one is compatible with that.
Mr Burns Player Model Zipfile Updated
If you don't want absolutely all the custom models for Kingpin that are available in one large models pack here. then maybe you just one to get some of the more popular ones.
In that case you should download the male Mr Burns player model that was converted to Kingpin by TiCaL. I have just updated the Mr Burns zipfile to iinclude all his custom skins.
As Mr Burns himself is noted as saying:-
"Look at them! Jackaninnys - Goldbrickers - Layabouts - Slugabeds!
They're all pathetic morons wasting my precious money!
None of these piss-ants are worthy to become the Kingpin!
I have no choice but to win myself!"
You can download the Mr Burns player model from here.
Just unzip all files to your Kingpin folder.
KPDED2 Files Updated
Monkey Harris has released an updated version of the KPDED2 files for windows and Linux.
The update adds support for faster downloading and also a new "sv_download_precache" option.
If you're planning on running a Kingpin serer you need to be using this. Basically you use the kpded2.exe instead of the kingpin.exe in your server shortcut and add any of the new options you want to use on your server to the server.cfg.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As well as fixing bugs and security holes, kpded2 adds a bunch of other improvements, including the following:
* A workaround for the Kingpin client's broken download support, to allow sounds and skies to be downloaded from the server. PAK files and other Game DLL specific files can also be downloaded from the server.
* Reduced bandwidth, memory and CPU usage. Very low CPU usage when idle mode is enabled by the Game DLL.
* Packet loss measurement and duplicate packet sending to reduce it.
* Message buffering to prevent overflows.
* Support for team info in server browsers.
* A new console window with command history on Windows ("-oldconsole" can be used in the command-line to enable the old style console window).
* A bunch of new config options and commands which you add to your server.cfg file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the updated KPDED2 files from here:-
Make sure you read the included readme for comprehensive information.
Extras For The Thug And Bitch Models
We hosted several different zipfiles containing different extras for the thug and bitch models so I have simplified it by creating two new zipfiles. One contains all the extras for the thug model and the other contains all the extras for the bitch.
The bitch has a backpack, cap, fedora, stetson and joint.
The thug has a backpack, a new hat, a german helmet, and a joint.
The thug extras zipfile also contains the skin for a German soldier (head_axi, body_axi, legs_axi) as the backpack and German helmet were originally created for this skin.
You can download the extras zipfiles from here:-
Just extract all files to your Kingpin folder.
There is also a Spliff that replaces the cigar for the thug. runt and bitch that you can download from here.
Just extract the pak4 to your Kingpin folder and it will be placed in the correct location.

Bagman Map Added To Archive
I have uploaded an old Bagman map called Team Hell Blow (v2) that was made by Propane.
Team Hell Below, is basically, a Bagman partial remake of the old Quake 2 death match map Sudden Death. If you know the Sudden Death map (there are several death match versions in Kingpin) you will know there is a lot of lava in this map.
It's an old style Bagman map where you need to press a switch to get to the Teams' safes. There are two ways to get between each teams bases which are go up high or use the underground tunnel.
This map should be loads of fun, and fun to send your enemy to the lava or watch them fall in the lava while they try to raid.
You can download Team Hell Below (v2) from here.
