Acc has updated his 'Images to WAL textures' utility program. The program allows you to convert many image formats (bmp, pcx, gif, png, tga, jpg) to Quake II WAL files.
Acc explaines why the update:-
...updated the program to version 0.4 because Hypov8 told me animated textures could be achieved by compiling maps with properly configured WAL textures. This version automatically links animated frames (files have to start with a + followed by a one-digit number from 0 to 9, for instance: +0anim1.tga, +1anim1.tga, +2anim1.tga, etc.)
You can download the Img2wal utility from here.
You can see examples of maps that have used animated from here:-
Board Level (animated numbers on chip)
Arena Gate (animated flames)
elfor has created levelshots for several hundred maps that didn't have them.
Levelshots are the small map pictures you see when you select a map on the map voting screen, at the end of the current map, in multiplayer on most servers.
So I combined the exisitng levelshots with some I had made over th last few months and the ones Elfor submitted and have created a new Levelshots zipfile. I would say there aren't too many maps now that don't have a levelshot.
If you play online you will already have some of these levelshots but you may as well download the zipfile and get all the available ones :)
You can download the updated Levelshots from here.
Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

Instagib information from Monkey Harris:-
If you're unfamiliar with instagib, it's like the hitmen silencer rounds with one-hit kills, but with added lasers and gibs. I've also enabled the crowbar for it.
Another thing that instagib often has is a form of rocket jumping (but without self-damage) that can be used (with practice) to whiz around the map. I've included that, and it can be adjusted/disabled on the day depending on what people want.
Another great death match map from the early days of Kingpin is Tower Arena by Bolt.
It's a largish map that was released in 1999. It uses all Kingpin default textures and is set in a tower style structure. There is one main arena and many exits that lead to stairs which take you up to several rooms that overlook the main arena. There are ample weapons and others items and a even a secret room.
You can download Tower Arena from here.
Nice to see Sylacs back playing Kingpin :)
