INTRODUCTION

An add-on for KINGPIN the famous FPS.
With a real scenario and many cutscenes.
With a lot of new materials, textures, dialogs and original musics.
With puzzles, platforms and intense fights.

So, everything we can expect for Kingpin

You're hired for a short mission. Apparently not too difficult.
But things won't unfold as expected...


Night Work at the Factory is made of eight chapters. Each chapter may contain a different number of maps. From 2 to 11.

I started this project in 2002. Initially, it might consist in a single map. Short and simple. But, with new ideas arriving, it quickly becomes two, three, four... I also choose to increase the level of details in the maps. Whithout being really aware of the internal limits of the game engine. As a consequence, I had to cut some maps in two or three. And then obtain eventually 55 maps. You'll have many map changes in the beginning. But with today's PC it's quite as quick as opening a door.


HOW TO PLAY AT NIGHT WORK AT THE FACTORY

Installing

Just extract NightWork.rar in your /kingpin directory.

You need 500 Mo of free space on your hard-drive.

Lauching the game

Go to /kingpin/factory and double-click on factory.bat.

Select GAME. Choose the level of difficulty and play.

Settings

To get the best graphics make sure :

I HIGHLY recommand to play in a standard 4:3 resolution.
All the cutscenes have been set for the standard resolution. With non-standard resolutions, you risk to loose information on the top and the bottom of the screen.


TIPS

1-I've set up carefully each fighting sequence to obtain a challenging gameplay in MEDIUM level.
You'll have to try and mix different tactics to go on. Keep moving, combine quick frontal attack and retreat. Change position constantly in open arena or find a strong place and let the opponents come. Always avoid to get caught under multiple fire. There's always a way to be victorious. Sometimes just one...

The KINGPIN AI offers a lot of possibilities. The opponents are very unpredictable and surprising.

2-Take a little time to explore each level. Some useful items can be hidden in odd places.

3-Just a reminder:

When you're killed KINGPIN often opens the Load Game page. In such a case, if you want the Quick Load, just press Esc to go back to the game and then press F9.

4-Unlike many FPS, KINGPIN is not a "kill them all". Sometimes, you'll find places guarded by several guys heavily armed and far too strong for you. If possible, let's find another way or just flee like a rabbit...;) .


TROUBLESHOOTING

Q:NIGHT WORK AT THE FACTORY doesn't start when you double-click on factory.bat?

A:Check the install path. It MUST be kingpin/factory/data.
Make sure you don't have created a NightWork/ folder when extracting , thus getting kingpin/NightWork/factory/data.


Q:Too dark? Too bright? Not enough contrast?

I've paid a lot attention to lighting in NIGHT WORK AT THE FACTORY. All action take place at night, mostly under electrical light or moonlight...

A:You shouldn't play in a bright place.
A:Check your screen settings with a greyscale.
Some monitors have a light gradient that can perturbate the tuning. If the gradient is vertical, use greyscale.jpg. If the gradient is horizontal, use greyscale2.jpg.

All the 25 stripes must be visible. Especially 1 2 and 24 25. If not, you would have to adjust GAMMA, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST on your monitor or with the interface of your graphic card.

Sometimes, monitor's factory settings are not optimal. And the problem can remain unoticed unless we can look at the same picture on two different screens.
