Daeth Match Map Added To Archive - Warzone

Elfor let me know about another DM map we didn't have in our archive.

The map is called Warzone and was made by Optimizer back in 1999.

It's a large, military style, map with a big "Guns of Navarone" artillery gun, search lights and even an airstrike.

There are some hidden areas, traps and probably just enough weapons and items.

You can download Warzone from here.

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

Death Match Map Added - Q3 Pad Home

Elfor sent in a map we didn't have in our archive.

It's a death match map called Q3 Pad Home and is a map that was ported to Kingpin from Quake 3 by {GT}Knight.

It's a largish DM map that uses all standard Kingpin textures. It has one of every weapon except I couldn't find the HMG (although it has a cooling mod).

The original map for Qauke 3 was made by ENTE.

You can download Q3 Pad Home from here.

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

Brick is a smallish death match map converted to Kingpin from Quake.

The map has an urban theme with a central building surrounded by a street, other buildings and a basketball court.

It has ample weapons and items and uses mostly Kingpin standard textures.

The map was originally made for Quake by xstephx.

Full credit to xstephx for making the original map.

Version 4 Test Version Of The MH Kingpin Patch

Yet another new test version of the MH Kingpin patch. All the updates are to add support for hires graphics.

Here's a patch update that adds support for hi-res versions of PCX files (in PNG format as described earlier). colormap.pcx is excluded. It also adds support for models in the "hires" folder. The patch will normally refuse to load a file from "hires" if it isn't also present in the normal path, but an exception is made for images in the "models" folder so that "hires" models can have their own custom skins. The "imagelist" command has also been modified to clearly show (with an "H") when "hires" files are loaded.

You can download MH Kingpin patch test ver 4 from here.

Make sure you also have the current released version from here.

Just extract the files into your Kingpin folder. If you download both extract the test version last and overwrite the existing wsock32.dll

Barren Meadow Single Player Mission

It's Halloween season so it's a perfect time to play Acc's fantastic horror themed single player mission called Barren Meadow.

Acc's description of the mission:-

Barren Meadow is a single-player unit for Kingpin following most of the original design choices: it puts the emphasis on shooting, rewards exploration, has a hub connecting multiple action maps and many options to defeat your adversaries (from weapon modifications to hirable henchmen). It features spooky environments and foes, ideal for a spooky Halloween fix. The campaign isn't that long and will last you for an hour to an hour and a half (maybe more on harder difficulties).

You can download Barren Meadow from here.

Make sure you get the patch12 as well.

Read the index.html file in the doc folder for install instructions and everything you need to know about the mod.
