Hi,

If you have just bought Kingpin from GoG you maybe looking around to see what is available to enhance your game experience.

Higher Screen Resolution

There are several options if you want to play in higher resolutions.

Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch
https://www.kingpin.info/download/index.php?dir=kingpin/patches/unofficial/mh%27s_kingpin_patch/
Check the readme for comprehensive information.
No files are modified by the patch, so it works with all Kingpin (v1.21) releases, including the Steam version.
The WSOCK32.DLL file is the patch that gets loaded by Kingpin and PATCHCFG.EXE is a configuration app for the patch.
Both files should be put in your Kingpin directory.

The Kingpin Multi Patch by Captain Death works for all versions except the Steam version.
This contains a screen resolution patch and many other patches. For more information and a download link go to Captain Death's page here -

-------------------------------------------
Single Player maps

Once you finish the single player campaign and you feel that you want to play some more then there are many custom single player episodes made for Kingpin that you can try.

Nightwork at the Factory - a massive single player campaign 10 years in the making
Kingpin: Final Crime - the unofficial sequel to Kingpin
House of Death parts 1 and 2 - Classic episode set in a haunted house.
Wheelbarrow created a single player story that spanned five episodes (Funeral, The Chase, Gulag, Reprisal, Santuary)
KillSpree - a very short episode

Plus many others. Check them all out here -
https://www.kingpin.info/download/index.php?dir=kingpin/main/maps/single_player/

Check the readmes for install instructions.

Multiplayer

The single player is good but where Kingpin really shines is the multiplayer game.
All you need is a kingpin server browser so you can find servers to play online.

There are currently three server browsers - the updated Gamespylite, [M] Kingpin Server Browser and Hypo Game Browser .

Gamespylite

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.

You can download the latest version of Gamespylite from here -
https://www.kingpin.info/download/index.php?dir=kingpin/patches/unofficial/gamespy/

M-Browser

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 v2.12, from his [M] Kingpin Server List page here -
http://kingpin.hambloch.com/

We also host it at Kingpin.info here -
https://www.kingpin.info/download/index.php?dir=kingpin/patches/unofficial/%5BM%5Ds_Server_Browser/

Hypo Game Browser
Incorporatesg the M-browser and Gamespy protocol into 1 browser.
Check out the readme in the zipfile for install instructions

Hypo Game Browser

------------------------------------------------
Multiplayer Games

Currently we have games on Thursdays and Sundays starting at 9pm UK time.
You are more than welcome to come join us.
You can use the WorldClock to see what time it is where you are when it is 9pm UK time -

You will also find a few people playing at other times most days
or you can play against bots in the Luschen Botmatch server (kp.servegame.com:31510).

Some Popular Mod Files

Capture the Flag

Crash Squad

Power2

GunRace

Halloween

XMas Mod

Just extract all of the files above to your Kingpin folder.

Both the Gamespylite server browser and [M]'s server browser have been updated.
The links above have been updated to point to the new versions of the files.

Hiya, the link is not working , please can you repost this file ?

I guess you mean the link to the Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch? If so, check this post made by boomboris: https://www.gog.com/forum/kingpin_life_of_crime/monkey_harriss_new_kingpin_patch/post17
The patch he posted is the current version if I'm not mistaken.

Hi guys,

All the links are fixed now.
Somehow they all got changed to a temp site we had up while the main site was undergoing maintenance. I have no idea how that happened.

Any problems just post a msg.

Mr D

PS the Monkey Harris patch boomboris links to is a new beta. The link in this thread is the current release.

So does 1920 x 1080 full screen resolution work correctly with both patch versions or only with the "beta" patch?

Hi,

1920 x 1080 works with both versions.

Over 200 hundred people have successfully installed it and it works perfectly.
Of course there will always be one or two people that have problems. and that's why Monkey Harris is continuing to work on his patch fixing any issues people encounter.

My suggestion is to install the current version and if you have any issues install the beta version.

Let us know how you go with it :)

Mr D

I tried both and 1080p resolution worked fine but I will stick with the "beta" patch because of the newly added AA and AF options.

Monkey Harris has released version 4 of his patch.

There are so many tweaks and bug fixes in his patch apart from the ability to use custom resolutions.
Read the enclosed readme for a comprehensive list of features.

The link at the top of this post has been updated with the latest version.

Very useful. Thanks a lot! Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch fixed startup crash.

Great. Glad that it helped :)

If you ever want to try multiplayer check out the Multiplayer Games thread :)

I just added links to two brand new mods -GunRace and Halloween Mods.

UPdated some of the links.

Also Monkey Harris Monkey has released version 6 of his unofficial Kingpin patch.

There are so many tweaks and bug fixes in his patch apart from the ability to use custom resolutions.

The link at the top of this post has been updated with the latest version.
