Some people who have laptops with just Intel graphics have problems running Kingpin. Fredz and Saint Bob found a solution that works for some people.
It involves downloading a utility called GLDirect and copying the opengl32.dll that comes with it to your Kingpin folder.
Checkl out the details in the Saint Bob post here.
Acc is still working on his Build Map Converter utility program which allows you to convert Build Games' maps to Kingpin. Games include Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood etc.
He is now looking into adding support for Doom Engine games :)
Check out latest news here.
AB|Jones has the honour of releasing the first new Kingpin map for 2017.
It's a Bagman Map called Facing Worlds.
Originally it was a wildy popular Unreal Tournament map. Then it was rebuilt in Quake2 and now it has been converted to Kingpin by AB|Jones.
Facing Worlds is a small Bagman map with a space theme. There are two towers which house the team's bases. The bases are separated by two small, inclinded, pathways. The layout is subly simple.
It uses a custom sky and custom textures, has teleports to the roof of the tower where the grenade launcher awaits and there are enough weapons and items to keep people happily fragging.
Update 8th January
- After playing the map tonight AB|Jones decided to imrove gameplay of the map by making some weapon type and placement tweaks.
You can download the updated map (team_facingworlds.bsp) from here

So all you USA players why not make Friday nights (USA time) game night on this awesome server :)
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.
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:-
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
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.
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.
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 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.
