"Gamespy Now Working For Kingpin" posted September 1 - 6:01AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Kingpin servers are now showing up in Gamespy again. It seems this problem is going to happen from time to time so I suggest you make all the servers Favourites because they will then show up even when this problem occurs.
If your version of Kingpin doesn't include Gamespy Lite we have an updated version which you can download from here.

Stigma has released a new DM map called Central 2RS. Central 2RS is a small deathmatch map for Kingpin. It is in the urban style, has two levels, and is set in a few small rooms inside a building. There are two rooms on the upper level and one lower level area. There are one of every weapon except there is no flamer and there are two tommy guns. The map has 10 player spawns, uses all standard kingpin textures and features a downloadable custom sky.
"Two New Items Added" posted August 27 - 6:43PM EDT by Mr.Damage
Fredz has sent in two more items.
Kingpin French Sounds These are all the sounds from the French version of the game. You can download them from here.
Polish Wlakthrough As the name suggests it's a walkthrough of the game in Polish in Pdf format. You can download the walkthrough from here.
Btw, we also host the Russian sounds from the game which you can download here.
"GameSpy Not Working For Kingpin Again" posted August 27 - 5:46PM EDT by Mr.Damage
Looks Like once again Gamespy is not showing any Kingpin servers (other than the ones you have selected as favourites).
Until the problem is resolved you can try another server browser such as QTracker which you can download from here.
There is also an old forum topic on how to add servers to the Gangbang menu in KP. You can view it here.
"The Stuff That Was Left Out Of Kinpin" posted August 23 - 6:15AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Fredz has outdone himself this time and created a webpage that highlights all the stuff that was left out of the final version of Kingpin that as released back in 1999. It includes things like weapons, weapon mods, armour, maps, skins, NPC's, buildings, bits of trivia about the game etc.
It's a really interesting read and while some of this info has been available at various places aound the net here it is all in one place for the first time.
Just click on the 'Missing KP' heading on the left side of the page.
Btw, he has also put together a tutorial on how to compile mods under Linux which is great news for any moders out there. That is locted in the Tutorials section.
"Kingpin MDX Importer" posted August 23 - 5:49AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Fredz has sent in a link to a Kingpin MDX Importer. This is a Gmax script for importing Kingpin .MDX model files written by TiCaL. You can get more info here and the zipfile includes a readme which explains how to install it and how to use it. I understand thsi can be used to both import and export .MDX models to and from Kingpin.
Blade2 2010 is a medium/large sized, urban style, DM map for Kingpin. It is an update/reworking of a map that Cujo converted to Kingpin in 2001. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the original author of the map. It has several different levels, lots of open outdoor areas, a basement area, corridors and tunnels connecting the different areas and a few indoor rooms as well. It uses all standard KP textures except for two. There are fourteen player spawns and there are more than enough weapons, armour and other items.
I have made this map the default map on our Kingpin Legacy Server for a while so you can download the map and check it out there.
"Something I've Been Working On" posted August 19 - 6:21PM EDT by Mr.Damage
Here are some screenshots of a new deathmatch map I am working on. It is a update/reworking of a very old map that Cujo converted back in 2001 which he called DM Blade2.
I just need to finish the lighting, fix a HoM error, do some minor tweaking and then it should be ready.

"Kingpin Movies At YouTube" posted August 12 - 7:41AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Fredz sent me some links to these great Kingpin inspired videos at YouTube. They are live action movies with sounds and music from the game. Looks like a lot of effort went into making them so why not give them a view.
"Source Code For Monkey Mod Versions Uploaded" posted August 12 - 7:37AM EDT by Mr.Damage
