Player Model Fix For Standard Player Models Update.

Fredz has done a small update to the fixes for the thug, runt & bitch models zip file.

The w_heavy machinegun.mdx for the thug had the wrong skin so he has fixed it and updated the zip.

In case you missed the original post the zip contains several fixes for the thug, runt & bitch models (see enclosed readme).

You can download the player models fix from here.

Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.

Killerz Mod Update

Hypov8 is continuing to update the Killerz mod.

He has changed/updated the hud
added sounds for start of the Killer round and when the Killer dies
Added an option for the Killer to be covered in flames.

The Mobster and Killer displays on the hud have been replaced. The Killer now sees his name in red as the Killer in lower right of hud. The other players now see the Killer's name in green on lower right of their hud.

During the death match round the hud will display number of kills you still need to become the Killer and your current position on the player table.

When someone become the Killer and the Killer round starts the "are you ready to be f*cked" sound will play. When the Killer dies (whether by being killed, suiciding, or even if the Killer leaves the server the "ding" sound ill play).

When someone becomes the Killer that have a coloured glow. The default is red but there are several other colours as well and now Hypo has added the option of the Killer being covered in flames.
