"KP Citadel 2006 DM Map" posted July 12 - 4:57AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Here is a map that always get favourable comments each time it comes up on our Legacy server. It's KP Citadel 2006 which was made by {GT}Knight. The map is a small to medium sized arena style map. It's very colourful and mainly utilises the KPDM5 texture set and features a custom sky. It is set in a citadel where there is a fountain in the centre, you climb up vines to access the roof area, and there are large statues around the edge of the map. There are ample weapons and the map even has large birds flying around. The map is very detailed and thus the rspeeds are high in some places. You can download KP Citadel 2006 from here.
As I said it is in rotation on our Kingpin Legacy Server and there is a game there on Saturday night. Saturday night games swap between the Detropolis and Legacy servers.
Details Name : Kingpin Legacy Server Date : Saturday 12th Time : 7.30pm EST (New York)

"Hypo's Train Station Bagman Map" posted July 10 - 5:28AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Here is an older BM map called Hypo's Train Station: Radio City made by Hypov8 back in 2000. To quote the man himself:-
...this is a train station map, in the style of radio city (rc). I tried to make 3 ways to base and try to make them the same time to reach as each other. The slightly shorter way dont have as many goodies.. Of course being a train station I had to add trains, so look out ppl, they killers...
If you don't already have this map (team_hyporc.bsp) then I recommend you get it :) You can download Hypo's Train Station from here.

"New DM Map - Stigmadm2" posted July 3 - 6:57AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Stigma and I have collaborated on another DM Map. The map is called Stigmadm2 and is a conversion of a counter-strike map. It is a small to medium sized map set in some sort of storage facility. Action takes place in the courtyard, where there are lots of crates and boxes, and also inside the building which is multi levelled. It has ample weapons and items and 13 player spawns. Mostly standard kingpin textures have been used with a few custom ones from cs.
I will add this map to our Detropolis Custom Maps Server before the weekend so it can be played at our regular Saturday night game which is at Detropolis this week. The game starts around 7.30pm New York Time. {NeW}Vitachick should be on hand to get the game going :)

"Small DM Map Revised" posted July 2 - 9:22AM EDT by Mr.Damage
Here is a remake of the old Bloody187 map. The original is a small box shape room made for Hitmen (no weapons or items). The new version has slightly different texturing, added weapons and items so it can be used in DM and Hitmen, more player spawns added and some crates and boxes to make it a little bit more interesting. You can download Bloody187 v2 from here.

"Monkey Mod Levelshots" posted June 30 - 8:10AM EDT by Mr.Damage
In our Downloads Section we have an area for all the Monkey Mod levelshots ppl have made for various maps. In total about 60 zip files. I have now done a clean up of that area. I have left the zip file that Thief|Meph recently put together, containing levelshots of over 300 DM Maps, but I deleted all the other zipfiles and replaced them with one new zip containing all the shots. The next zipfile still only weighs in at 5mg. So now there are just two zipfiles containing all the levelshots we host here at KP4Ever.
For anyone not familiar with Monkey Mod Levelshots:- When the current map completes on a server running the monkey Mod with Map Voting turned on you have a chance to vote for the next map to be played. On the Map Voting screen once you have selected a map to vote for if you have the levelshot for that map in your Kingpin folder it will be displayed.
