New Version Of The Kingpin Multi Patch

 has released a new version of his Kingpin Multi Patch. It now contains 5 patches for the Kingpin - Life of Crime Retail (CD) and GoG versions.

The patches are:-

1) Console clear command disable
This patch prevents the console from being cleared which also clears any chat text. A couple of mods send the clear command for no good reason when a player spawns.

2) Console condump command disable
This patch disables the condump command that gets sent along just before the clear command in some mods for no good reason.

3) Screen resolution
This patch allows video mode 6 (1600x1200) to be changed to another resolution.
The system is scanned for available video modes and presents them as options for the user to choose. Screen aspect ratio is also displayed.
The original 1600x1200 resolution can be restored.
The menu entry for mode 6 is also updated to reflect the chosen resolution.

4) Audio frequency fix
There is a bug in the Kingpin audio startup code that prevents setting the output frequency to 44100 KHz.
This patch allows a frequency to be chosen regardless of the value in s_khz.
Available frequencies are 11025, 22050, 44100 KHz. The original startup code can be restored.

5) Weapon FOV
This patch allows the player weapon to remain displayed when the FOV is above 90.
The engine maximum FOV is 160 and this can be chosen.

You can download the patch from CaptainDeath.com or I have uploaded it to Kingpin.info here.

I have applied it to Kingpin on Windows 10 64 bit and it works fine. If you have any issues then please post in the comments for this post and CD will sort it out.

As previously stated this is for the CD and GoG versions of the game. If you have the Steam version you can use the Steam resolution fix which you can download here.

Kingpin In Warcraft 3

Can you believe a guy called X-OOM made a Kingpin map for Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne. I understand it follows the complete Kingpin storyline:-

Welcome to Kingpin - Life of Crime, my newest Map for Warcraft 3 Tft. This Map took very much work and it has a Urban, Gangsta Atmosphere in it just like the real Game. There are over 300 custom sounds like in the Game and much of its Features added. There is a 4 Player coop Mode, but do a little Singpleplayer Playtrough here. ...

It features:-

8 different Weapons,Organic City with lots of Characters to talk to,Talking/Insulting spells with lots of dialogue,Over 360 custom sounds,Big City with Urban Gangster Style and different Areas,Lots and lots of Cusses and Violence,Cutscenes ...     

Fredz uploaed the latest version of this map to Kingpin.info so if you have Warcraft 3 and want to try this out you can download it  here. or from Warcraft 3 site here.

There is also a series of playthough videos at Youtube. There are thirteen videos in total and the first one, naturally enough,starts with the opening Kingpin cutscene done Warcraft 3 style.

Here is the first video.

Map Packs

As you would imagine we host a lot of map packs here at Kingpin.info.

Therer are map packs dedicated to individual mappers, map packs with themes such as Quake1 maps or Halloween maps and map packs for popular Death Match and Bagman maps.

We also host the BCs_Map-Pack-n-Yo-Ass map packs which contain all known maps up to about 2013. These are split into small packs but there are a lot of them.  We also have packs for 1999, 2000, and 2001 which contain some of the best maps from those years.

The map packs are found in the downloads section kingpin -> main -> maps -> map-packs. They are split into three categories - > creator which are the individual mappers map packs, theme which is the map packs with a theme and _old which is the BCs map packs and the Bagman and Death Match map packs.

This is the map-packs folder here.

Here are direct links to the large Death Match and Bagman map packs:-

IP Address : kp.servegame.com:31512

Maxclients : 16

A lot of maps have been added in the last few days so there is quite a selection on the server now.

420DM1 Deathmatch Map

Another of the maps me and Hypov8 found is 420DM1 by {420}Voodoo. This is a small deathmatch map that looks to be a Quake2 conversion. It uses all Kingpin textures, has one of every weapon except the flamer and has some armour and health. There is one teleport in the map and also a secret room full of weapons but I can't figure out how to get back out of it lol.

You can downloa 420DM1 from here.

New Hitmen Mod Server

Truzenzuzex has set up a Hitmen server running out of the USA. A lot of you would remember the classic Da Playgroundz Hitmen server and this is his latest version of that server (its the same one as we used to run at KingpinForever)

Details:-

Name : KP4EVER's Da PlayGroundZ! ~ Hitmen Mod

IP Address : 23.255.247.182:31520

You don't actually need the Hitmen files to play unless you want to use the grappling hook then you will need them. The Hitmen mod is a small download which you can grab from here.

Kingpin Official Missing Stuff

Some of you may know about this already but for those of you who don't -  put together a webpage that highlights all the stuff that was left out of the final version of Kingpin. It includes things like weapons, weapon mods, armour, maps, skins, NPC's, buildings, bits of trivia about the game etc. 

If you're a fan of Kingpin you will find it an interesting and informative read.

You can check it out at his website here.
