Thursday Game of Rocketfest Death Match

For something a bit different this Thursday, the Newskool Fragfest server has been changed to a "Rocketfest" server.

As per Monkey Harris:-

Rockets are fun so I've added a new "rocketmode" feature in MM, in which the only weapon is the bazooka. All weapon/mod pickups are removed from the map and all ammo is changed to rockets. The reload delay is also removed. Splash damage is reduced to 50% on others and only 10% on yourself to encourage rocket jumping (hopefully get some nice mid-air frags).

JediBM1 Beta Map

I have uploaded the Bagman JediBM1 Beta map which was made by [Jedi]Nog.

JediBM1 Beta is a large Bagman map. It is a darkish map and the safe rooms need to be opened with nearby switches.The two bases are different and the money drop has both cash rolls and cash wads.  There are several ways between bases and the map features ample weapons and items.

You can download JediBM1 Beta from here.

Tea Time Video Playthrough

EmoLevelDesigner has done a video playthough of the Tea Time single player episode available at YouTube.

Tea Time is an alternative beginning for the game made by Tea Leaf. You exit from Sewer Rat door into the town.  It's a small episode where the aim is for the player to escape the city. Hire your thug, kill all the bad guys, get the keys and make your way to the Typhoon Bar and escape on a motorbike into Episode 2 of the regular game.

You can download Tea Time from here.

Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder.

To start Tea Time just start Kingpin, pull down the console and type - map teatime.

Missing Rocket Trails

We found something interesting while playing CTF on Sunday. If you have a see through surface in a map (like a window), and two players stand either side of the it, and one player fires a rocket the other player wont see a rocket trail. They will still see the projectile but not the trail. You can see what I mean in the screenshots below.

Kingpin Guy Tries To Order Fast Food

Some screens from today's game:-

BloodyBorg Death Match Map Added To The Archive

I have added the Bloodyborg death match map to our maps archive. I assume it was made by {GT}Bloody.

It's a medium to large map with a failry simple layout. It uses custom textures which are to give it the feeling of a Borg ship, I guess, from the Star Trek universe.

You can download Bloodyborg from here.

Just extract all files to your kingpin folder.

By the way, we also host a skin pack of Star Trek characters. The pack contains seven skins for the thug, bitch and Anthea models. There is Picard and Giordi, from Next Generation and Janeway, Tuvok, Harry Kim and 7of9 from Voyager. There is also a thug skin of a Borg drone, who are one of the main enemies in Star Trek. The pack also contains a readme with details of all the skins, how to install them and how to load them.

You can download the Star Trek skin pack from here.

The 7of9 skin is for the Anthea model so if you don't already have the model you can download the model from here.

Just extract the Anthea files to your kingpin/main/players folder.

Jailhouse Frag Death Match Map

Here is an older, less well known, map that isn't currently on any servers hint hint ;)

Jailhouse Frag is a small death match map that {GT}Knight converted from the fabulous Quake 2 Chaos mod. It is a small Quake 2 style map that uses Quake 3 textures. It has ample weapons and items and a nice tight layout.

You can download Jailhouse Frag from here.
