If anyone is currently making a map or thinking about making a map please keep the following in mind.
Kingpin hates uppercase letters and it can cause a max_gltextures error.
So make sure the texture folders and texture names and even the map name are all in lowercase.
If you are going to use a texture that is currently in uppercase then just rename it to lowercase before using it.
We host several promo videos for Kingpin including official ones and fan made ones.
Fredz recently found and uploaded the original version of the Ganghit promo (originally called kp_avi) which is still hosted at Blue's News.
We also have it in mp4 format. We have the Kingpin Promo in original format and mp4 as well as Curse and Assault mod promos and several others.
You can check them all out here.
Hypov8 and me are currently working on a new Bagman map. It's a smallish map with a lot of custom textures and sounds that will hopefully appeal to everyone. It should be ready for release soon but meanwhile here is a sneak peak :)
Monkey Harris is currently working on a further update for the Money Mod which he is currently testing on the Newskool servers.
There are several nice little imrovements. He will release the new version once he is satisfied it is all working correctly.
If you play on the Newskool servers and encounter any issues with the new version of the monkey mod you can leave a comment in this post.
Well I thought I had found all her maps but now I have found three more lol.
One we already had in our archive but two we didn't. The map we already had is Shock. The two we didn't are:-
Stupid is a small death match map. It's a small, dark, arena with a lava pool in the middle. When you spawn you drop down to the arena from above. As you drop down you get your weapons. There are no weapons on the arena floor. There is also a secret room which is accessed through the lava.
You can download Stupid from here.
Stronghold Opposition Conversion (team_q2ctfc) We had an earleir version of this map but I have deleted that one and uploaded this later version. The map is a conversion of a Quake 2 CTF map to Bagman.
You can download Stronghold Opposition Conversion from here.
I have added the three maps to the Tanyacheex mappack and uploaded it again.
You can download the tanyacheex mappack from here.
When I was looking for a particular Tanyacheex map I found we didn't have TC_Bahh in our archive so I have uploaded it.
How would you describe TC_Bahh? Well it's a typical Tanyacheex map I guess. It's medium to large size with an urban theme. It has a central area which is outdoor with two ledges that if you fall off you die.
Around this central area are various passageways and corridors. The cooling mod is at the end of one corridor and to get to it you have to either jump on a moving platform or avoid it as it can be deadly. There is also another outside area which only has balconies that you jump to. If you miss you fall and die lol. The HMG is in an area that looks like it is iron roof panels.
You can download TC_Bahh from here.
I found the map I was looking for and, at the same time, I think I found every map Tanyzcheex map for Kingpin.
As Tanyacheex seems to have been mostly forgotten as a Kingpin mapper I decided to put all the maps into a map-pack so you can grab them all in one go and check them out. I'm sure you will know some of them.

I know I posted about this a while ago but it seems more old players are joining the servers and the first thing they say, after hi, is I wish I had my old clan skin.
Cookies Skin Bank has a large range of clan skins from the very early days of Kingpin. Clans like Mama, TCC, BEER, MDK etc. There are a total of 61 clan skin sets. Also at the bottom of the page there is a link to download them all in one pack.
If you want to go and have a look to see if your ones are there then just click here.
You will see in the menu 'Clan Skins' so just click on that to go to the clan skins page.
Just a note about the zip files at that site. They are all set up to extract to program files/kingpin/main/.....
So if you don't have Kingpin installed in program files then I would extract them to your desktop then manually copy the skins to your thug, runt or bitch folder.
Currently Gamespylite is playing up again. You have to refresh several times to see the Kingpin servers.
However there is no problem refrshing the servers in your favourites list.
So this is just another reminder to add all the current Kingpin servers to your Favourites in Gamespylite.
Just follow these instructions to add the servers here.
