Reminder That Sunday Is 20th Anniversary Of Kingpin

Just a reminder that this Sunday, 30th June, is the 20th anniversary of the release of Kingpin.

There will of course be a big game of Kingpin on Sunday so I hope you can all set aside some time and drop in for the game. It should be good :)

It would be great to get two or three servers filled with players.

Mac''s Kingpin Servers Updated

Australia is currently upgrading it's broadband network and Macanah has let me know he has just got connected to the new service and his servers run much better now.

Mac runs the Aussie macanah.moo.KP servers which run several different mods plus Botmatch.

He also said that because of the network upgrade downloads from his site are much faster too. Check it out here.

Two New Mods On Way

There are currently two new mods in production.

One is a capture and hold style mod called Killa's mod and the other is a themed mod (like Xmas, Halloween and Easter mods) called Summer mod.

Both are well under way so stay tuned for more information as they progress.

Munitions Dump Deathmatch Map

-=Munitions Dump=- is a straight conversion to Kingpin of a map from the Xatrix Quake 2 Expansion Pack The Reckoning. It was converted by DirtyDog.

It is a large deathmatch map that uses all the original Quake 2 textures. It has 18 player spawns and ample weapons and items.

Btw I think they got some inspiration from this map when making the Rival Turf map for Kingpin.
