We Equaled The Player Record

We didn't quite set a record for our weekly games today but we did equal it with 29 players in the server.

The record of 29 players was originally set back in July 7th 2019 when we played a memorial game for our good friend Gussardo who tragically passed away.

So we need to get 30 players in the server for our next game :)

We also took some group screenshots.

Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch Updated To Version 10

- Monkey Harris has updated his MH Kingpin patch to version 10.

You can download MH Kingpin Patch ver10 from here.

Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and overwrite existing files if asked to do so.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of the many changes:-

Hi-res versions of images and models can be installed in a "hires" subdirectory and toggled on/off through a new "hires files" option in the "visuals" menu.

New enhanced (and back-compatible) MDX/MD2 file formats with 16-bit vertices (instead of 8-bit) are supported, allowing wobble-free models to be used. Hypo will be releasing a Blender add-on for creating them.

Animated textures are now supported on see-through surfaces.

Images are loaded asynchronous (in the background) to avoid stutters in gameplay (eg. when a player joins the game or changes skin).

The bright team skins option includes 2 extra brightness levels.

A player in chasecam/togglecam will now become semi-transparent when they get close to the camera so that they don't block the view.

Crosshairs may now be in TGA format, adding support for transparency in them.

Chat and team chat options have been added to the controls menu.

Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling/tilting can now be used in binds.

The console background brightness can now be adjusted. This replaces the previous background image removal option (0 brightness = no image).

The small download progress bar has been replaced with a clearer text-based download progress display.

Maps (including savegames) now load more quickly.

The standard GAMEX86.DLL is patched to prevent "function pointers have moved" errors when loading savegames.

Most of the PATCHCFG app's options have been moved to the in-game menus, and the PATCH.CFG config file is no longer used.

Support for Wine (Linux/macOS) is improved with an option to set it up in the PATCHCFG app.
