Thursday Game Of Extreme Mod

We are trying something a little different for this Thursday's game at 9pm UK time.

So there is a game of the Extreme mod planned.
 
The Extreme mod is death match with more powerful weapons:-
 
Crowbar - Now has kick, more damage. A lot more :)
Pistol  - Laser beam when shooting (might remove it), all pistol mods.
Shotgun - Faster reload, faster shooting, 12 shots, more kick, more damage.
Tommy   - Bigger clip (100), more damage.
HMG     - Faster normal fire, way faster cooled fire and more damage.
GL    - Impact grenades (a la Q2), bigger clip size.
Bazooka - Super fast shooting, bigger clip.
Flamer  - More damage.
 
Max health 200 and bigger pickups.
 
On the HUD you get to see what your position is compared to everyone else.
 
It’s a serverside mod which means you don’t need to have any client files :)
 
You can check out all the game details here.
 
It’s a pretty crazy mod and the game should be fun.

DM Snowball Death Match Map

Here's a map you may have forgotten about , or maybe never knew in the first place.

DM Snowball is a small, single area DM Map made by Whoop Ass. It is set outside in a snow covered winter landscape with rough terrain which is unusual in a Kingpin map. Its has 16 spawn points and ample weapons and is a fun map to play.

[M] has added this map to his Luschen Deathmatch and Botmatch servers.

You can download DM Snowball from here.

Screenshots Of New Death Match Map

Recently [YFS] Mayhem released an uncompiled death match map on the Kingpin Facebook page asking if someone could complete it.

Me and Hypov8 started to work on it and it is now just about completed and being beta tested so should be released shortly.

In the meantime here are some shots of the map.

The Mask Player Model

The other day I had reason to download The Mask player model and when I did I noticed that the zipfile wasn't set up with paths. When path info is included in the zip it means you only have to extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location.

Anyway I rezipped the files and uploaded the model again.

The Mask model was converted from Quake 2 to Kingpin by  {GT}Sylacs. This model is pretty funny and has some crazy animations. It comes with three different skins and has full Kingpin vweap support (which means other players can see what weapon you are carrying).

You can downlaod this model from here.

Just extract the files to your kingpin folder.

3Team Server Testing New Enhanced Server

Monkey Harris has been working on modifying an enhanced Quake2 server to support Kingpin.

One thing it allows is that you can download client files for mods from the server.

Currently he has a 3Team Team Death Match server running to test it out.

When you connect to the server you will download the pak1 file which is the client files for the 3Team mod (only 250 kb). You will end up with a 3Team folder containing the pak1 file.

Check it out and if you have any problems with it you can add a comment to this post which MH will see.

Please note, though, if you already have a pak1 in your kingpin/main folder it wont work (the server wont download the 3Team pak1 file)..

So you can temporarily remove the other pak1 from kingpin/main, join the 3Team server to download the 3Team files, then put your  other pak1 back into kingpin/main.

The server details:-

Name : Newskool 3 Team Team DM (auto-downloading client PAK)

IP : 37.247.117.19:31516

Admin On The Luschen Botmatch Server

[M] has set up his Luschen Botmatch server so that the first player who joins the server automatically becomes Admin.

I made it that the first player to join the server automatically becomes admin.

If you don’t want to be admin, type “resign” in the console and you’re no longer admin. 

If there are other players on the server, one of them will automatically become admin on map change or when they manually reconnect.

Otherwise the next person to join the server will become admin automatically.

Out Of Business Death Match Map

Here is a great little map by Sonik which you don't see much these days.

Out of Business is a small, urban street style map which is a busy little map. What I mean by that is the more you play it the more places you seem to find that you hadn't noticed before. Or you work out how to get somewhere that you didn't know you could get to or never knew how to get there.

There are lots of places to fight, in the street, on the rooftops inside the buildings etc, and there are ample weapons and items.

This map has been added to the Newskool Fragfest server :)

You can download Out of Business from here.

New Kingpin Server Browser

Kingpin has always had a large percentage of people willing to put their time and effort into making Kingpin a better game and keep it varied and interesting.

2016 is no different. Even though the game is nearly seventeen years old now we still have people like Fredz, Monkey Harris, The Ghost, Hypov8, [M] and others still working away to keep Kingpin alive and in fact better than it's ever been.

An example of this is the new Kingpin server browser [M] has just released. Some info about it from the man himself:-

As I am running the server list anyway, I wrote a first version of a “client” for it.

It’s a win32 executable that reads the current server list from my list server, then writes a DOS batch and executes that.

(The batch creates a menu from the current server list so you can join. It also gives you current map and number of players.)

It’s super simple (!),  but it seems to work well…and is completely independent from qtracker or gs working!

Just unzip the file to your kingpin directory and run from there.

You can download the [M] server browser from his site here.

I have also uploaded it to kingpin.info here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 31th May [M] has updated his server browser to v1.5 so the links have been updated.

The new version has more options including being able to update itself when a new version come out.
