I have created levelshots for many more maps and updated the levelshots zipfile. I have concentrated on maps that are currently rotating on servers and that didn't have a levelshot already.
In case you don't know levelshots are the pictures you see when you vote for a map on the map voting screen at the end of the current map in multiplayer on most servers.
You can download the levelshots zipfile from here.
We have been lucky with the recent release of several good Bagman maps by Killa and AB|Jones. Here is another great addition to the list.
Team Foozball by AB|Jones is a great looking map set on a Foosball table (tabletop soccer).
The map is smallish with the Foosball playing area (complete with two teams of players) and a lower area to give an alternate route to the other teams safebag. The map includes some custom sounds. The map looks great and is fun to play.
***Update 22st Nov*** AB|Jones has updated the map and the new version of the map can be downloaded from here.
There will be more versions coming for death match, Hitmen and CTF.
As you probably know we are trying to have the best Kingpin file archive ever put together here at Kingpin.info.
As part of that goal Fredz found the Kingpin Acebot, and the sourcecode for it, and has uploaded them to our Kingpin Bots download section.
You can download the files from here.
Just follow instructions in the readme.
But remember the best way to play against bots is to jump on the Luschen Botmatch server. You might be lucky and [M] might come and join you for a few maps :)
AB|Jones has released a new Bagman map called Team Spawndeath Two.
This is another of those very small, chaotic, crazy Bagman maps like Team 817 and Team Spawndeath etc. It's well made and looks good. It only features the HMG of which there are eight in each team's base. The map makes good use of the central towers themed textures.
You can download Team Spawndeath Two from here.

Screens from the game:-
[M] has let me know that the bots on his Luschen Botmatch server are being tweaked and upgraded to make them better opposition. The updating is ongoing at this point.
You can check them out by jumping into the Luschen Botmatch server.
I have collaborated with Killa to make a Capture the Flag version of his Team Commotion map.
It's exactly the same map excpet that the flags replace the safe bags and the money drop is removed.
CTF Commotion is a small map where the setting is a mirrored version of the main stairs area of the Central Towers map. All weapons featured except the grenade launcher.
You can download CTF Commotion beta from here.
While testing out a new map by AB|Jones based on a Foosball table we started discussing other sports themed maps.
One that came to mind is KP Soccer. I checked the zipfile here and it was set up pretty badly. I have now updated the zip so you only need to extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and added a levelshot.
KP Soccer(kpsocker.bsp) is a map made by Intruder way back in 1999 and is set on a soccer field.
Btw if you spawn in the goal you seem to get stuck so just crouch and you will be ok :)
[M] has added it to the rotation at his Luschen Botmatch server.
You can download KP Soccer from here.
AB|Jones and I have collaborated on making a Capture the Flag version of his Team Lavapit map.
As the lava trap at the money drop area was the main feature of the Bagman version of the map, and there is no money drop in CTF, I added several items to that area in the CTF version to entice people to go there. The items are a full set of armour, the adrenaline and the pack.
You can download CTF Lavapit beta from here.
Desura was probably the cheapest site to buy Kingpin but unfortunatley its owners went bust.
Well Oneplay recently bought Desura assets and hopes to have it back up and running in the first quarter of 2017.
You can read more information about it here.
