KPDM5v2 Map By Jabba1966

Here is another version of the KPDM5 map.

This is a larger version made by Jabba1966. All he did was add some more areas.

You can download KPDM5v2 from here.

Problem With KiT+ Map By Mantis

There was a corrupt version of the KiT+ (kit_plus.bsp) on the ---Battys kit--- server that was causing the server to crash.

The map has been replaced with the good version from kingpin.info.

If you have downloaded the corrupt version from the server when you try to join you will get an error message that local version of the map differs from the server version.

So I suggest you download the good version from here.

Just exctract/unzip the file to your kingpin folder, overwrite existing file when asked,  and it will be placed in the correct location.

Team HLWell Bagman Map

Here is a Bagman map we didn't have in our archives.

Team HLWell by Hogie is a large Bagman map converted from Half-Life and uses all custom HL textures.

The bases are large and multi levelled. The safe money bags are at the back in large silos. There are several paths to the team bases throuugh the middle or via underwater tunnels. There are the usual weapon caches in the bases.

If I remember rightly it has an end of map cutscene but that only works in the Curse mod.

You can download Team HLWell from here.

Serious Towers Death Match Map

Here is another great looking retextured version of KPDM5.

This one was done by Sandstorm and uses the Serious Sam textures to give the map an Egyptian theme.

You can download Serious Towers (serious_t.bsp) from here.

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

New Deathmatch Map - Cepheus

Cepheus is a new deathmatch map that I have converted from Quake 1 after being made aware of this map by Elfor.

The original is a great looking map and was created by Adib Murad. Adib gave me permission to convert his map to Kingpin.

Cepheus is a smallish map with three levels providing lots of vertical action. It uses some really nice looking custom textures.  It features two lifts to get between the first and second levels and two teleports to get around the rest of the map.

Thanks to Hypov8 for his help on the map ;)

You can download Cepheus from here.

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

Hitmen Map - Q3Project

Here is a map for the Hitmen mod (or GunRace) called Q3Project made by {GT}Knight.

It is a largish map in the Quake2/Quake3 style and was probably made for one of {GT}Ghost's many Quake2 themed mods.

It has armour, health and mods but no wepaons so it's good for mods where wepaons are given out by the server.

You can download Q3Project (tourney2-2a.bsp) from here.

Custom Sounds For Player Models

If you have installed the MH Kingpin patch ver5 you will see a new entry in the Options Menu - Custom Model Sounds yes/no.

If you set this to Yes then you will hear custom sounds for the player models that have them.

Many of the Quake 2 models that have been converted to Kingpin have custom sounds but Kingpin has not supported custom sounds for player models until ver5 of the MH patch.

What I have been doing is finding the Kingpin models that have sounds in Quake2 and tranfering them over. Thirty one player models now have custom sounds. There were some others but their sounds consist of squeeks and grunts so I didn't bother.

I have put together a sound pack for the thirty one models and also updated the complete custom models pack.

If you already have most/all of the cusotm player models I suggest just downloading the sound pack.

If you have no custom models or just a few I suggest getting the complete model pack.

You can grab them from here:-

Custom Model Sounds Pack

Custom Model Complete Pack

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

To check that you installed them correctly just go to the Luschen Botmatch server or Luschen GunRace+bots server, where the bots are mostly player models, and you should hear a euphonius mix of custom sounds :)

Btw these sounds wont downlaod from servers so you need to download the pack.

Of course if you get tired of the sounds you just change the Custom Model Sound option to No and you wont hear them anymore.
