Kingpin In Other Games - Quake III Arena

You can grab it from here.

Just extract/unzip the jfrost.pak3 file to your Quake3/base3 folder and the pak3 file will be placed in the correct location.

New Crash Mod Map Beta - Leas Zeppelin

released a beta of a new map for the Crash Mod. This one is called Lead Zeppelin (b1) and has versions for both the Bombing and VIP scenarios (both in the same zip file).

Lead Zeppelin is a largish map set aboard a zeppelin airship.

For the VIP escape version, the VIP has to escape via a small biplane that is accessed by pressing a button in the engine room that lowers two platforms and the VIP has to then jump onto the plane.

For the bomb scenario there are the standard two bomb sites.

The map features many custom textures and some custom sounds.

You can download Lead Zeppelin (b1) from here.

Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

Crash Mod Map - Subway

We were playing the Crash mod on Thursday and a map loaded that I don't think anyone had played before (at least not in living memory).

The map is Subway (bom_subway_0.2.bsp) for the bombing scenario and was made by way back in 2001.

Not sure how we missed this one as it's a good Crash map.

The map is large and mostly set in a subway station.
One bomb site is between two train carriages and the other is on a flatbed car of another train.


You can grab the Subway map here.

New Death Match Map - Clownfish

Update: I have now fixed the small bugs that were found and have released a final version of the map.

Here is my latest death match map, ClownFish which is a conversion of an old Quake 2 map.

The Quake2 map was originally map by g1zm0.

ClownFish is a small, vertical style death match map.

It has a small central area on the ground floor and two side staircases that go up to second and third level balconies.

The map has been retextured, features 12 player spawns, and plenty of weapons and items.
Full credit to g1zm0 for creating the original Quake 2 map.

You can download Clowfish (final) from here.

Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
