Hypov8's Green Weapon Sprites

Hypov8 has sent in a pak file which contains green weapon sprites for the grenade launcher, rocket launcher and flamer.

This means that, in game, you see green rocket trails, green flames from the flamer and green explosions when a grenade explodes.

You can download Hypov8's green weapon sprites pak file from here.

The coloured sprites are in a pak9 file. Just extract/unzip the file to your Kingpin folder. This will place the pak9 file in your kingpin/main folder.

If you already have a pak9 file in your main folder then extract the new pak9 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak2, pak3 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.

Clan Demos Uploaded

Bruis3r has collected all the old clan demos he had and I have uploaded them here.

There are lots of demos featuring lots of clans. Clans from UK, Europe, Australia and the USA.

You can download the two zipfiles here:-

clan demos1

clan demos2

Just extract/unzip the files to your kingpin folder.

The zipfiles are setup so the files will be extracted to kingpin/main/demos

To watch these demos you bring down the console and type:

map demoname.dm2

for example

map 1v1ewire.dm2

New HMG Skin By Hypov8

Hypov8 has sent me a new custom skin for the HMG.

Check it out here.

The skin is in pak5 file. Just extract/unzip the file to your Kingpin folder. This will place the pak5 file in your kingpin/main folder.

If you already have a pak5 file in your main folder then extract the new pak5 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak2, pak3 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.

Kingpin Server Browsers

Just a regular reminder, for new players, about the Kingpin server browsers that are available so you can find servers to play online :)

The two main ones are Gamespylite and [M] Server Browser.

Gamespylite

You can download the latest version of Gamespylite from here.

Just extract the kingpinspylite.exe file to your Kingpin/gamespy folder (it will overwrite the original one).

Some versions of Kingpin don't include Gamespylite so if you don't have a kingpin/gamespy folder just create one and extract the file to there.

M-Browser

M-Browser by [M] is a Kingpin server browser that is independent from qtracker or gamespy, so it works even when those are down.

Check out the readme in the zipfile for install instructions and a list of all the features.

You can get the latest version, which is currently v1.9, from his [M] Kingpin Server List page

We also host it here.

Custom Shotgun Skin Files Updated

We host four custom shotgun skins. Some of them were in pak files and some weren't so I have updated the ones that weren't and placed them in pak files. They are all in pak4 files now. 

Two of them (cammo and riot skins) only show up on your hud and the other two (mariner and corroded skins) show up in your hud, on the map and on other players when they are carrying the shotgun.

The zip file is set up so you only have to extract the pak4 file to your Kingpin directory. This will place the pak4 file in your kingpin/main folder.

If you already have a pak4 file in your main folder then extract the new pak4 to a temporary folder somewhere and rename it to another number such as pak2, pak3 etc which you don't already have. Then copy it to your kingpin/main folder.

You can check out the custom shotgun skins here.

V1.1 Power2 And CTF Server Files Released

Captain Death has now released the v1.1 server files for both the CTF and Power2 mods. The files are available in both Windows and Linux.

You can download the server files from Captain Death's site here:-

CTF

The server files do not contain the relevant CTF and Power2 maps so in order to run a server you will need to download the client files as well. The client files are also available from the links above.

Info For New Players

I have seen a few new players around that have recently bought Kingpin from Steam where it is on sale.

So if other new players have found their way here I just wanted to point out that there is information available for new players with lots of information and links to maps, models, skins, mods, patches etc.

I posted it in several places including the Steam Kingpin forum here.
