We hosted several zip files full of map level-shots. So I have consolidated them all into one zipfile. I also spent the afternoon creating level-shots for some of the maps that didn't have one. They have also been included in the new zip file. The zip file is around 11mg and contains about 680 map level-shots.
If you’re not familiar with what Level-shots are they are tiny screenshots that show up on the map voting screen. When the current map completes on a server running the Monkey Mod, with Map Voting turned on, you have a chance to vote for the next map to be played. On the Map Voting screen once you have selected a map to vote for, if you have the level-shot for that map, it will be displayed.
You can download the level-shots zip file from here.
Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location.
Update 22/02/16 Hypov8 let me know that a few of the older level-shots were corrpupt so he recreated them. In fact he has recreated all of the level-shots adding a different border so they show up better on the the map voting page. I have replaced the original zipfile with his new one.
Here is a map I hadn't seen for many years until me and Hypov8 found it recently.
Green Hell is a medium to large death match map converted from Quake2 by {420}Mayhem. It has a green theme with green lighting and green slime. It is in the classic Quake2 style and is a good map from the early days of Kingipin (just stay clear of the silly trap room). The map name is gh_beta.bsp
The 420 crew were quite prolific map makers back in the day and at one stage it seemed every second map was made by one of their members :)
You can download Green Hell by {420}Mayhem from here.
Just extract the files from the zip to your kingpin folder and the files will be placed in the correct locations.

Captain Death has released a new version of his Kingpin Multi Patch. It now contains 5 patches for the Kingpin - Life of Crime Retail (CD) and GoG versions.
The patches are:-
1) Console clear command disable
This patch prevents the console from being cleared which also clears any chat text. A couple of mods send the clear command for no good reason when a player spawns.
2) Console condump command disable
This patch disables the condump command that gets sent along just before the clear command in some mods for no good reason.
3) Screen resolution
This patch allows video mode 6 (1600x1200) to be changed to another resolution.
The system is scanned for available video modes and presents them as options for the user to choose. Screen aspect ratio is also displayed.
The original 1600x1200 resolution can be restored.
The menu entry for mode 6 is also updated to reflect the chosen resolution.
4) Audio frequency fix
There is a bug in the Kingpin audio startup code that prevents setting the output frequency to 44100 KHz.
This patch allows a frequency to be chosen regardless of the value in s_khz.
Available frequencies are 11025, 22050, 44100 KHz. The original startup code can be restored.
5) Weapon FOV
This patch allows the player weapon to remain displayed when the FOV is above 90.
The engine maximum FOV is 160 and this can be chosen.
You can download the patch from CaptainDeath.com or I have uploaded it to Kingpin.info here.
I have applied it to Kingpin on Windows 10 64 bit and it works fine. If you have any issues then please post in the comments for this post and CD will sort it out.
As previously stated this is for the CD and GoG versions of the game. If you have the Steam version you can use the Steam resolution fix which you can download here.
Can you believe a guy called X-OOM made a Kingpin map for Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne. I understand it follows the complete Kingpin storyline:-
Welcome to Kingpin - Life of Crime, my newest Map for Warcraft 3 Tft. This Map took very much work and it has a Urban, Gangsta Atmosphere in it just like the real Game. There are over 300 custom sounds like in the Game and much of its Features added. There is a 4 Player coop Mode, but do a little Singpleplayer Playtrough here. ...
It features:-
8 different Weapons,Organic City with lots of Characters to talk to,Talking/Insulting spells with lots of dialogue,Over 360 custom sounds,Big City with Urban Gangster Style and different Areas,Lots and lots of Cusses and Violence,Cutscenes ...
Fredz uploaed the latest version of this map to Kingpin.info so if you have Warcraft 3 and want to try this out you can download it here. or from Warcraft 3 site here.
There is also a series of playthough videos at Youtube. There are thirteen videos in total and the first one, naturally enough,starts with the opening Kingpin cutscene done Warcraft 3 style.
Here is the first video.
As you would imagine we host a lot of map packs here at Kingpin.info.
Therer are map packs dedicated to individual mappers, map packs with themes such as Quake1 maps or Halloween maps and map packs for popular Death Match and Bagman maps.
We also host the BCs_Map-Pack-n-Yo-Ass map packs which contain all known maps up to about 2013. These are split into small packs but there are a lot of them. We also have packs for 1999, 2000, and 2001 which contain some of the best maps from those years.
The map packs are found in the downloads section kingpin -> main -> maps -> map-packs. They are split into three categories - > creator which are the individual mappers map packs, theme which is the map packs with a theme and _old which is the BCs map packs and the Bagman and Death Match map packs.
This is the map-packs folder here.
Here are direct links to the large Death Match and Bagman map packs:-

Here is Macanah's most recent Quake2 map conversion to Kingpin. It's called Soisv2 and is a medium sized, two level, multi room map. It has minimal textures and feautres several teleports. There are ample weapons and items.
You can download Soisv2 from here.
Macanah has added this to his www.freewill-mnh.com kingpin ffa (60.242.253.213:31510) server.
A good Kingpin video review at Youtube by Tehsnakerer. One commenter summed it up as:-
A enjoyable look back onto a cult classic. Well throughout, short and genuinely entertaining insight.
Twentry three and a half minutes of one person's interesting perspective of the game :)
Just a reminder about the informal game organised for this Sunday night 14th February at the Luschen Deathmatch Server.
The start time is planned for around 8pm GMT and [M] will be around to admin the game. Hopefully it will go for several hours.
Details are:-
Server : Luschen Deathmatch Server
IP Address : kp.servegame.com:31512
Maxclients : 16
Date : Sunday 14th February

A lot of maps have been added in the last few days so there is quite a selection on the server now.

Just extract to your kingpin/gamespylite folder and overwrite existing file. If you don't have a kingpin/gamespylite just create one and extract the file to there.
Update 15/02/16 It was a good game. While we didn't quite fill the server, people were dropping in all game which went for more than seven hours lol.
