Grey Screen In Linux

If anyone is having problems running Kingpin in Linux/Ubuntu where you are getting a grey screen after running the game then check this forum post out here.

Hopefully that will resolve your problem.

How Many Downloads?

Fredz just told me that, so far, 117 gb of Kingpin files have been downloaded from kingpin.info :)

Popular downloads at the moment are the hi res patches, Gamespylite, the game manual, the Star Wars skin pack and the latest two death match maps dm sludge and dm victor.  

So I think this alone shows that we are serving a purpose here :D

Crash Squad Mod Server

 Macanah has now set up a Crash Squad mod server.

Server details:-

Server : planetmnh.16mb.com KP crash squad Mod
IP : 60.242.253.213:31556
Maxclients : 24
Admin : Macanah

CRASH Squad is a multiplayer mod about the struggle between the CRASH Squad, LA's anti-gang suppression unit and the Crenshaw Mafia, a notorious LA street gang. The game play is team-based and each scenario has its own objectives. Each team has it's own subset of weapons. Weapons include pistols, shotguns, automatic weapons, assault rifles and sniper rifles along with hand weapons.

There are two scenarios:-

VIP Rescue

The CRASH Squad must escort a VIP through the city of Los Angeles to his safety while the Crenshaw Mafia attempt to stop them.

Bombing

The Crenshaw Mafia must bomb one of two bombing sites while the CRASH Squad must try to stop them or defuse the bomb after it's been placed.

You can get the required Crash Squad client files from here.

Just extraxt to your Kingpin folder.

Screenshots Of Upcoming Bagman Map

AB|Jones is working on a new Bagman map called Team Lava Pit.  It's a two forts style  Bagman map and features a trap at the money drop area :)

It should be finished shortly.

Here are some screens of the work in progress.

New Power2 Map And Update

Captain Death was requesting some smaller maps for the Power2 mod. As a result I updated the Mausoleum map I posted about the other day and I also completed a map I had hanging around for several years.

Many years ago Stigma send me a map to work on but I never finished it. When looking at it recently I figured it would work out nicely as a Power2 map. So I worked on it for a couple of days and, after some beta testing and further changes, completed it. It's called Mob Rule, is a smallish street map, and uses mostly custom textures.  

It will be included in the Power2 client files when they are released.

As for the version 2 Power2 client files Captain Death has now finished bug fixes and so they should be available shortly :)

Force Mod Server

Macanah has just set up a server running the Force mod.

Server details:-

Server : planetmnh.16mb.com KP Jedi Force Mod
IP : 60.242.253.213:31515
Maxclients : 20
Admin : Macanah

Force mod is a mod created using some of the features from the game Jedi Knight 2 into a mod for Kingpin. All weapons have been removed and replaced with a saber that you start the game with.  In the Force mod the Thug, Bitch and Runt duke it out to the death with a combination of force powers and light saber combat.

Features include:-

* 3 Different Force Powers (push, pull and cloak)
* Built on Monkey Mod v1.40, for easy and secure server setup.
* High powered, high range Light Saber (no guns).
* Togglecam re-enabled
* All special engine features enabled (explosions, SP props, spawners)

There are four maps included in the Force mod files (Dual Carbon & Dual Pit by |AB|Mr.Knoxville and Team Jedi Beta & Jedi Arena by Whoop-ass). You can grab the files (which include files for running a Windows server) from here.

Just extracr/unzip files to your kingpin folder.

Another Bagman Map Added

I have added the Bagman map called Team F***ed b1 made by AB:Mike.

It's a small, frantic map set in one room with two small side corridors. We played it on Sunday and the action was crazy. The map uses standard textures and there lots of boxes and crates.

You can download the map from here.
