Downloading Client Files From Servers

If you are running, or plan to run, a dedicated Kingpin server running Crash Squad, Capture the Flag or Power 2 mods and want clients to be able to download the client files from the server.

Make sure to use the KPDED2 Enhanced Kingpin Server file which you can download from here.

The KPDED2 is set up allow_download_paks by default but some mods still need an addcvarcheck command to check if client already has the files so all you need to do is add the following to the relevant mod's' server.cfg file:-

Capture The Flag Mod

Add the following to the CTF server.cfg:-

addcvarcheck ctfver !* STUFF exec ctf.cfg

Power2 Mod

Add the following to the Power2 server.cfg:-

addcvarcheck power2ver !* STUFF exec power2.cfg

Crash Squad

Monkey Harris has updated the Crash mod so you don't need to add the addcvarcheck command to the server.cfg.

But he has set it up so the Crash documentation can be downloaded to the client from the server.

To allow this just add the following to the Crash server.cfg:-

setclientfiles documentation.chm

I hope this helps anyone planning on running a server for any of these mods.

Custom Weapon Soundpack Uploaded

I found a Kingpin custom weapon soundpack we didn't have at kingpin.info. 

It's called Top class weapon sounds and is a pakfile containing custom sounds for most Kingpin weapons (pistol, tommygun, shotgun, HMG, Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher).

The original author is unknown. but was updated by jjaf.de who released an updated pak6 file.

You can download the Top class weapon sounds from here.

The skin is in pak6 file. Just extract/unzip the file to your Kingpin folder. This will place the pak6 file in your kingpin/main folder.

If you already have a pak6 file in your main folder then extract the new pak2 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak3, pak4 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.

We have several custom weapon sound packs if you fancy a change from the regular weapon sounds. Check them out here.

Check the readmes for install instructions.

Cleaver Custom Weapon Model

A few years ago Zeppelin[FnR] converted the cleaver weapon model from counterstrike.

The cleaver replaces the pipe in your hud only so other players will still see you holding the pipe.

You can download the cleaver weapon model from here.

The cleaver is in a pak9 file. Just extract/unzip the file to your Kingpin folder. This will place the pak9 file in your kingpin/main folder.

If you already have a pak9 file in your main folder then extract the new pak9 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak3, pak4 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.

Sonik Mappack Updated

We host a mappack here at Kingpin.info but it hadn't been updated for many years and didn't include several of his later maps. 

I have added several maps and (hopefully) now the mappack contains all of Sonik's death match and Bagman maps.

Sonik released so many good maps I considered it important to collect them all into his mappack.

You can download the updated Sonik mappack from here.

Just unzip/extract all the files to your Kingpin folder.

Thursday Game Of Crash Squad Mod

The Thursday game this week is going to be the Crash Squad mod. This will be the first time we have played this mod in a long time (other than the practice session on Tuesday).

Game details:-

Server : Newskool Crash Squad
IP : 37.247.117.19:31515
Date : Thursday 9th March
Time : 9pm UK time
Maxclients : 18

You can download the new client files from here.

Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location (kingpin/crash).

Please note that if you already have the current Crash client files then you will still be able to connect to the Crash server.

However you should rename the pak9 file that is in your crash folder to pak1.

The reason being is that the new client files are downloadable from the server and are in a pak1 file. If you don't already have a pak1 file in your crash folder it will download it.

This is a great and fun mod with a reasonable sized crowd so I hope you can all make it for a game :)

Btw the client files contain comprehensive info which I have also uploaded as a webpage here. 

Take note that there is a team radio where you csan send simple command mesaages to your team (cover me, follow me, I see them etc). To access the radio and seelct a command press F3.

Another long session today with a good crowd :)

Hopefully we will play the Crash mod again soon.

Gamefront Kingpin Page & Files

Gamefront is a gaming file resource site. It features addons for many great games both old and new.

It was in limbo for a while but it's back now under new management.

Of course it features a Kingpin page where you can download Kingpin files. It only has about 1% of the amount of files that Kingpin Info has at this stage but at least it's another site where people can go and downlaod Kingpin files.

IMO, the more sites that feature Kingpin and the more people that know about it the better. If people visit the Kingpin page at Gamefront and download the files it then keeps Kingpin up amonst the most popular games.

Gamefront has a 'Popular' games tab and quite often Kingpin features on the front page of popular games. There is always the chance that when people see there is still a small, active Kingpin community, still releasing addons for the game we might end up with a few more players online. 

It's also possible that someone who doesn't know about Kingpin Info could post a map or mod or skin etc there that we don't have :)

Anyway go check out the Gamefront Kingpin page here.
