Some Kingpin servers are now recording player stats when you play on them.
If you visit http://kingpin.hambloch.com/ you will see that the Luschen servers and the [BC] servers have a Stats button next to the server name. This is the player stats for that server.
There are lots of stats to check out such as top players by frags, effeciancy, deaths, weapons used, who has killed who etc.
Just another reason to get back int oteh servers and start fraggin' :)
This weeks game on the Luschen server is going to be Bagman.
The games are very informal with the emphasis on having fun while playing some KP.
Details are:-
Server : Luschen Bagman Server
IP Address : kp.servegame.com:31512
Maxclients : 16
Date : Sunday 28th February
Time : 20.00 (8pm) GMT
Admin : [M]
If you still don't have the latest Gamespylite server browser you can download it from here.
Check the world clock to see what time it is where you are when it is 8pm GMT.
We also host a Bagman map-pack which includes many of the popular BM maps. You can grab the map-pack from here.
Hope to see you all at the game :)
Shots from the game
http://kingpin.hambloch.com/ is [M]'s Kingpin Server List page. This is a very informative and useful site.
It list's all the Kingpun servers currently running and allows you to join them directly from the page if you use Qtracker.
There is a link to download the updated Gamespylite, small tutorials on how to add servers to in-game address book and gamespylite favourites and also instructions on how to download and install a couple of files so you can join servers directly from the page (without having Qtracker installed).
The page is set up to audibly inform you how many players are online at regular intervals. There are probably other features as well which I can't think of right now.
It also has a chat room where you will find [M] and several other KPers regularly hanging out.
If you're looking for a game and no one is in the servers, you can go and play in the Luschen Botmatch server against bots and hopefully some others will see you and join, or you can go join the chat room. I'm not suggesting that there will always be 20 ppl there waiting to play but quite often you will find 3 or 4 ppl who will be willing to go for a game :)
And of course the more ppl who start using the chat room the more chance you will have of finding ppl for a game.
Truzenzuzex has uploaded a video to Youtube of his touring, or playing through, his death match map [BC]'s Evil Town on his Catch the Chicken server.
Many of you will watch the video and think "I know that map, we used to play it a lot, now what was it's name doh".
The bsp name is eviltown-rev3 and you can download it from here.
Of course, the big question is, did he ever find the chicken :)
Fredz has written two tutorials on the Installation and Setup of Kingpin. These tutorials are very in-depth and thorough and are an interesting read even if you already have the game installed and setup :)
There is a Tutorials link in the Menu Panel or you can check them out directly here:-
For any feedback just leave a comment.
Fredz has also put together an FAQ with has some common problems and helpful tips.
This is also avaliable via the Tutorials link in the Menu Panel or you can check it out directly here:-
You may have noticed that Truzenzuzex is running a Catch the Chicken mod server.
This is the mod where a chicken spawns and somebody picks it up then everyone else tries to kill that person. The chicken is then droopped and another playr picks it up and the other players then try to kill them and so on and so forth :)
The server details are:-
Name : BC's CNYA ~ Catch the Chicken
IP Address : 23.255.247.182:31519
Maxclients : 8
You need the client files for this mod as they contain a pak file that has all the vweaps, one map, sounds, models, skins and hud graphics!
It's a small download which you can get from here.
Just extract to your kingpin folder and it will creat a ctc folder with pak1 in it. Now you are good to go :)
Here is a death match map we didn't have in the archive.
Skicadm1 by Skica is a small, compact DM map. It has three levels, one teleport and a big lava pool which, luckily, can't hurt you as it is covered over (with wood lol).
There is one of every weapon, except the rocket launcher which has two, and there are heaps of health bags. It has seven player spawns and features a big poster of the author on one wall :)
You can downlaod Skicadm1 from here.
Just extract the files from the zip to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location.
Fredz has uploaded three demos of a player completing the KiT (Kingpin Intensive Training) map Kit+ by Mantis.
KiT maps are like obstacle course maps with lots of trick jumps and obstacles to be overcome to complete the map.
In order to view these demos you will also need to have the KiT+ map which you can download from here.
You can download the three demos from here:-
These three demos need to be extracted to kingpin/main/demos.
To watch these demos, start Kingpin, pull down the console (tilde key ~), and type in map bestkit1.dm2 (or bestkit2.dfm2 or bestkit3.dm2), press enter and just let it play.
If the console doesn't retract just press space and esc and you should be ok.
Truzenzuzez[BC] has alerted me to Kingpin being on Twitter. I'm not a Twitter guy myself but if you do use Twitter Kingpin is hashtag kingpinlifeofcrime.
Check it out at the Twitter website here.
I found an old map by Muggs that looks like a fun map to play but I am misisng some textures.
If you have a vintage Kingpin install would you mind checking to see if you have a muggs textures folder (i.e kingpin/main/textures/muggs).
The textures I am looking for in that folder are:-
pnk.tga
dylw.tga
whte.tga
blk.tga
ltgrn.tga
blu.tga
If you find them please leave a comment for this post or send me an email by clicking on my name.
