Fredz has uploaded the most recent version of Acc's Build Map Converter.
It is an utility program which allows you to convert Build Games' maps to Kingpin. Games include Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood etc.
He is also thinking about adding support for Doom maps.
You can download the latest version here
Occasionaly someone asks me how to install Kingpin on a Macintosh. I have to say I don't know but I point them to a page that explains how to do it. It involves installing an application called Crossover.
You can read how to do it here.
It's amazing what you can find on the net (usually when you are looking for something else). Recently I found a Kingpin Playguide in my Favourite PC game magazine PC Powerplay. It seems old issues are archived online.
Just click on a page to turn to the next one and use zoom in and zoom out.
You can read the article here.
If you can't see that link for some reason we host that edition of PC Powerplay plus several others in PDF format here.
It's also good to flick through the pages and see what was big at the time and see what has disappeared in the time since.
The other day I was showing Lyph some death match maps set in castles and found one I hadn't seen in yonks :)
The map is called Knights-Castle-1 and was made or converted by {GT}Knight. I have played it in the past but not for many years and can't remember it much.
The maps is a small to medium sized map set in a castle. It uses all custom textures but is missing a custom sound (quake.wav). It also features some teleports.
Update 11th April Zeppelin has sent in the missing Quake.wav so I have added it to he zipfile and uploaded the updated one.
There seems to be enough weapons and items and should be ok for a blast.
You can download Knights-Castle-1 from here.
Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder.
When Solider of Fortune (SoF) was released in 2000 many Kingpin players and mappers left KP to go play SoF. As a result several Kingpin maps were converted to Sof.
While I prefer the originals it's always good to see some Kingpin crop up in other games.
We have a lot of the Kingpin maps that were converted SoF here.
Btw there, like Kingpin, there are still some ppl that play SoF online you just need to download the Soldier of Fortune Community Edition (search it).
Here is a thug skin I don't think I had seen before. It's a nice looking skin called Eradicator and is possibly a comic book character? Also there is no information who the author was in the zipfile :(
You can download the Eradicator thug skin from here.
Just unzip all files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
