What better way to spend Sunday night other than playing some Kingpin :)
Shots from game.
Do you find yourself downloading a lot of maps from the servers and then finding you don't have the custom sky?
Of course the best solution is to download all your maps from here :) That way you get everything, the map, custom sounds, custom textures and any custom skies.
What we also host a zip file which contains a lot of custom skies.
The zip file contains an installer and you just install all the files to your Kingpin fodlr and they will be placed in main/env.
You can download the Custom Skies installer from here.
QTracker and GSLite went down for a short time today.
If that happens all is not lost though if you're looking for a game. If you have favourties set up in GSLite you can still connect to those servers in your Favourties list :)
If not then over at http://kingpin.hambloch.com/ [M] has a link to a small tute on how to add all the current Kingpin servers to GSLite favourties.
This is a direct link here.
Just follow the instructions. Make sure GSLite is not running when you update the favourites file.
There are several people working on new or improved bots at the moment that are all based on the old Ace bot.
[M] and acc, Hypov8 and {GT}TheGhost are all working on them.
You might see the Luschen botmatch test server, Hypo's test lagless net code +bots server and {GT}TheGhost's Bloodmoney server. They all have bots that are being tested so if you see any of these servers online, jump in, and give them a try.
There were a couple of little annoying issues in my 4Room Urban map so I updated it with a few fixes.
The fixes are:-
Added clip brushes around the ladders and the wire fence so you don’t get caught on them anymore.
Removed one grenade ammo.
Darkened the middle, top, room a little.
Improved the texture joins in the room with the yellow wallpaper room so it’s harder to see where the textures join together.
Update Tuesday 8th March I had some discussions with Hypov8 and he showed me how to further improve the fixes. I took his advice and have released a new version. Sorry about that but I wanted to get it right and it is only a small download.
You can download 4Room Urban 2016 from here.
If you try to install the Kingpin Multi Patch 2 and get a missing DLL error
Captain Death suggests installing the Microsoft run time files.
If you get a missing dll error you will need to download vcredist_x86.exe Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft.
You can click on the link above or there is a link to download the files at his page here.
The news moves off the front page so fast so here is a summary of some important files and links you may have missed.

Steam Resolution Fix - This fix If is for the Steam version of Kingpin and allows you to run game in 1920 x 1080.

By default the fix changes all resolution modes to 1920x1080, but it can be changed via editing ResolutionSettings.ini (description inside file) - download.

That's it I think. I hope to see some of you at the Sunday night game 8pm GMT Luschen DM server ;)
You may have seen the new Blood Money mod server in QTracker and Gamespylite.
{GT}TheGhost is testing a new version of the Mod.
You can join without having the client files but to get all the features you need them
The current client files still work so if you already have them installed just rename the bloodmoney folder to bmkp and you should be ok. This is becaues he is running the mod from bmkp, instead of the bloodmoney folder.
If you don't have the Blood Money cleint files installed you can download them from here.
The client files are in an installer so just extract to your kingpin folder and it will place all files into a bloodmoney folder.
Once installed just rename the bloodmoney folder to bmkp and you are ready to go :)
Please note that when you join the server you will still need to download the maps are they are new/updated maps.
Viel Gl:CK (which I think means good luck) by Docdidi is a death match map from way back in July 1999.
It is a medium sized map. It has a largish open area which connects to a large room. From this room there are two small corridors leading off. This is my only gripe with the map , these tiny corridors. They twist and turn and lead to small rooms which lead to more corridors. Eventully you reach a sunken room area which connects back with more tiny corridors. You could end up getting lost down there :) But at least the small, lower area, rooms and corridors are well lit so you can see where you are going.
There are eight player spawns and an abundence of weapons, armour and ammo.
You can download Viel GL:CK (light.bsp) from here.
Monkey Harris, who created the original Monkey Mod, has released a new version of the Monkey Mod server files for Windows and Linux. These are v1.53.
Changes are:-
Changes from monkey cds 1.52b to monkey cds 1.53
================================================
* notification of connecting players, and what country they're connecting from
- the country info is also shown in the "players" list
* any cash held by a player will be dropped when they disconnect or spec
* added a new cvar (no_zoom)
- no_zoom disables zooming-in by setting the FOV below 90
- no_zoom is 0 (off) by default, set it to 1 (on) for it to take effect
- no_zoom can be set from server console, rcon/rconx and server.cfg
* tweaked flame hack handling
- the "kick_flamehack" option is now set to 1 (on) by default
- before kicking, it will first try automatically setting gl_polyblend to 2
* fix to stop console clearing on map changes
* fix for banned IP checking bug
* fix for "custom_map_file" loading leak
You can download the v1.53 server files from here:-
---------------------------------------------------------------
With the release of the v1.53 Monkey Mod server files it means we have two current, viable, versions of the Monkey Mod.
V1.53 just released by Monkey and v1.60 released by TiCaL.
What we need to do is get hold of the v1.60 source codeand get it to Monkey so he can incorporate those updates into his code. So basically v.153 and v1.60 get combined and we end up with v1.61 :)
