Truzenzuzex has uploaded a video to Youtube of his touring, or playing through, his death match map [BC]'s Evil Town on his Catch the Chicken server.
Many of you will watch the video and think "I know that map, we used to play it a lot, now what was it's name doh".
The bsp name is eviltown-rev3 and you can download it from here.
Of course, the big question is, did he ever find the chicken :)
Fredz has written two tutorials on the Installation and Setup of Kingpin. These tutorials are very in-depth and thorough and are an interesting read even if you already have the game installed and setup :)
There is a Tutorials link in the Menu Panel or you can check them out directly here:-
For any feedback just leave a comment.
Fredz has also put together an FAQ with has some common problems and helpful tips.
This is also avaliable via the Tutorials link in the Menu Panel or you can check it out directly here:-
You may have noticed that Truzenzuzex is running a Catch the Chicken mod server.
This is the mod where a chicken spawns and somebody picks it up then everyone else tries to kill that person. The chicken is then droopped and another playr picks it up and the other players then try to kill them and so on and so forth :)
The server details are:-
Name : BC's CNYA ~ Catch the Chicken
IP Address : 23.255.247.182:31519
Maxclients : 8
You need the client files for this mod as they contain a pak file that has all the vweaps, one map, sounds, models, skins and hud graphics!
It's a small download which you can get from here.
Just extract to your kingpin folder and it will creat a ctc folder with pak1 in it. Now you are good to go :)
Here is a death match map we didn't have in the archive.
Skicadm1 by Skica is a small, compact DM map. It has three levels, one teleport and a big lava pool which, luckily, can't hurt you as it is covered over (with wood lol).
There is one of every weapon, except the rocket launcher which has two, and there are heaps of health bags. It has seven player spawns and features a big poster of the author on one wall :)
You can downlaod Skicadm1 from here.
Just extract the files from the zip to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location.
Fredz has uploaded three demos of a player completing the KiT (Kingpin Intensive Training) map Kit+ by Mantis.
KiT maps are like obstacle course maps with lots of trick jumps and obstacles to be overcome to complete the map.
In order to view these demos you will also need to have the KiT+ map which you can download from here.
You can download the three demos from here:-
These three demos need to be extracted to kingpin/main/demos.
To watch these demos, start Kingpin, pull down the console (tilde key ~), and type in map bestkit1.dm2 (or bestkit2.dfm2 or bestkit3.dm2), press enter and just let it play.
If the console doesn't retract just press space and esc and you should be ok.
Truzenzuzez[BC] has alerted me to Kingpin being on Twitter. I'm not a Twitter guy myself but if you do use Twitter Kingpin is hashtag kingpinlifeofcrime.
Check it out at the Twitter website here.
I found an old map by Muggs that looks like a fun map to play but I am misisng some textures.
If you have a vintage Kingpin install would you mind checking to see if you have a muggs textures folder (i.e kingpin/main/textures/muggs).
The textures I am looking for in that folder are:-
pnk.tga
dylw.tga
whte.tga
blk.tga
ltgrn.tga
blu.tga
If you find them please leave a comment for this post or send me an email by clicking on my name.

We hosted several zip files full of map level-shots. So I have consolidated them all into one zipfile. I also spent the afternoon creating level-shots for some of the maps that didn't have one. They have also been included in the new zip file. The zip file is around 11mg and contains about 680 map level-shots.
If you’re not familiar with what Level-shots are they are tiny screenshots that show up on the map voting screen. When the current map completes on a server running the Monkey Mod, with Map Voting turned on, you have a chance to vote for the next map to be played. On the Map Voting screen once you have selected a map to vote for, if you have the level-shot for that map, it will be displayed.
You can download the level-shots zip file from here.
Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location.
Update 22/02/16 Hypov8 let me know that a few of the older level-shots were corrpupt so he recreated them. In fact he has recreated all of the level-shots adding a different border so they show up better on the the map voting page. I have replaced the original zipfile with his new one.
Here is a map I hadn't seen for many years until me and Hypov8 found it recently.
Green Hell is a medium to large death match map converted from Quake2 by {420}Mayhem. It has a green theme with green lighting and green slime. It is in the classic Quake2 style and is a good map from the early days of Kingipin (just stay clear of the silly trap room). The map name is gh_beta.bsp
The 420 crew were quite prolific map makers back in the day and at one stage it seemed every second map was made by one of their members :)
You can download Green Hell by {420}Mayhem from here.
Just extract the files from the zip to your kingpin folder and the files will be placed in the correct locations.
