"Cleaver Model by Zeppelin[FnR]" posted June 17 - 11:18PM EDT 2013 by Mr.Damage
If your looking to customise your game a little but the Smarties skin for the pipe model doesn't do it for you why not completely replace the pipe with the Cleaver model made by Zeppelin[FnR]. This is a Cleaver that he converted from counterstrike. The cleaver files are in a pak9.pak file and the zip is set up so you just extract it to your kingpin folder and it will place it in kingpin/main. If you already have a pak9 file then extract the new one to a temporary location, rename it to a pak number you dont have already (such as pak2, pak3 etc) and then copy it to kingpin/main.
"Quick Death Urban DM Map" posted June 17 - 12:07AM EDT 2013 by Mr.Damage
A few years ago DirtyDog did a rebuild of an old Hogie deathmatch map called Quick Death. This is a smallish arena style map and Dirtydog gave it a more urban feel and renamed the map Quick Death Urban.
Some comments from Dirtydog about this particular map update:-
This particular one is an oldie by veteran KP mapper HoGie. I used to play it all the time over at [BC]'s DaPlayGroundZ way back when and I thought I would give it a touch up. As usual I pretty much rebuilt every brush, changed the design slightly and gave it a full retexture/re-light. The challenge with this particular map was making some headway with the very high r_speeds due the map's design. By moving the entire map to a better block; going completely stretch happy with the textures; use of detail brushes and functioning walls I was at least able to cut the r_speeds almost in half from the original however they still reach as high as 850 but only in outermost corners of the upper level. The rest of the map's r_speeds are quite playable. Hope you enjoy it :)
Here is an old Bagman map made by {420}Tanyacheex which we have never posted about before.
It's a medium sized BM map, not mirrored, urban style map which uses textures primariliy from KPDM1 and KPDM2. The bases have safes which need to be opened with nearby switches. Being an oldschool type BM map there are no big caches of weapons and items in the base but you will find them spread throughout the map. Tanya used coloured lighting to distinguish which team's side fo the map you are in. Nice looking map.

"Smarties Pipe Skin" posted June 10 - 11:35PM EDT 2013 by Mr.Damage
Here is the classic replacement Smarties pipe skin. This is a skin that turns the pipe into a tube of Smarties (btw Smarties are candy/sweets/lollies for anyone who doesn't know). It was made by [CGF] Desmo and is in the form of a pak file (pak4) so you don't have to overwrite any files. There is a readme included that explains how to install it.
You can download the Smarties Pipe Skin from here.
