Recently [YFS] Mayhem released an uncompiled death match map on the Kingpin Facebook page asking if someone could complete it.
Me and Hypov8 started to work on it and it is now just about completed and being beta tested so should be released shortly.
In the meantime here are some shots of the map.
Bagman fun is on again this Sunday 9pm UK time on the Newskool Bagman server.
You can check out the game details here.
Check out the wordclock here to see what time it is where you are when it is 9pm in the UK.
If you haven't dropped in for one of these games yet please do :)
Shots from the game:-
The other day I had reason to download The Mask player model and when I did I noticed that the zipfile wasn't set up with paths. When path info is included in the zip it means you only have to extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location.
Anyway I rezipped the files and uploaded the model again.
The Mask model was converted from Quake 2 to Kingpin by {GT}Sylacs. This model is pretty funny and has some crazy animations. It comes with three different skins and has full Kingpin vweap support (which means other players can see what weapon you are carrying).
You can downlaod this model from here.
Just extract the files to your kingpin folder.
Monkey Harris has been working on modifying an enhanced Quake2 server to support Kingpin.
One thing it allows is that you can download client files for mods from the server.
Currently he has a 3Team Team Death Match server running to test it out.
When you connect to the server you will download the pak1 file which is the client files for the 3Team mod (only 250 kb). You will end up with a 3Team folder containing the pak1 file.
Check it out and if you have any problems with it you can add a comment to this post which MH will see.
Please note, though, if you already have a pak1 in your kingpin/main folder it wont work (the server wont download the 3Team pak1 file)..
So you can temporarily remove the other pak1 from kingpin/main, join the 3Team server to download the 3Team files, then put your other pak1 back into kingpin/main.
The server details:-
Name : Newskool 3 Team Team DM (auto-downloading client PAK)
IP : 37.247.117.19:31516
[M] has set up his Luschen Botmatch server so that the first player who joins the server automatically becomes Admin.
I made it that the first player to join the server automatically becomes admin.
If you don’t want to be admin, type “resign” in the console and you’re no longer admin.
If there are other players on the server, one of them will automatically become admin on map change or when they manually reconnect.
Otherwise the next person to join the server will become admin automatically.
Here is a great little map by Sonik which you don't see much these days.
Out of Business is a small, urban street style map which is a busy little map. What I mean by that is the more you play it the more places you seem to find that you hadn't noticed before. Or you work out how to get somewhere that you didn't know you could get to or never knew how to get there.
There are lots of places to fight, in the street, on the rooftops inside the buildings etc, and there are ample weapons and items.
This map has been added to the Newskool Fragfest server :)
You can download Out of Business from here.
More Bagman fun this Sunday 9pm UK time on the Newskool Bagman server.

Hope to see some of you there.
Kingpin has always had a large percentage of people willing to put their time and effort into making Kingpin a better game and keep it varied and interesting.
2016 is no different. Even though the game is nearly seventeen years old now we still have people like Fredz, Monkey Harris, The Ghost, Hypov8, [M] and others still working away to keep Kingpin alive and in fact better than it's ever been.
An example of this is the new Kingpin server browser [M] has just released. Some info about it from the man himself:-
As I am running the server list anyway, I wrote a first version of a “client” for it.
It’s a win32 executable that reads the current server list from my list server, then writes a DOS batch and executes that.
(The batch creates a menu from the current server list so you can join. It also gives you current map and number of players.)
It’s super simple (!), but it seems to work well…and is completely independent from qtracker or gs working!
Just unzip the file to your kingpin directory and run from there.
You can download the [M] server browser from his site here.
I have also uploaded it to kingpin.info here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 31th May [M] has updated his server browser to v1.5 so the links have been updated.
The new version has more options including being able to update itself when a new version come out.

Including Kingpin ofcourse.
Ends saturday.
Every now and again I find an older Bagman map that I think we should try out on the current BM servers.
Team Mole is one of those maps.
Team Mole is a smallish Bagman map by Gravedigger. It's two bases separated by an open area with lots of crates and barrels and an old shack in the centre. The shack is the money drop and also contains lots of ammo and armour and other items.
It has ample weapons in the base areas in side rooms. The safes are opened by switches in the area above the safe rooms. Once you use the switch you jump down a hole to get to the safe room.
There are three ways between the bases which are, through the middle open area, or either side of the map there are passages containing rairoad tracks where you can ride on a flatbed carriage between both bases or run down the passages if you prefer :)
You can download Team Mole from here.
Just extract all files to your kingpin folder.
