Team AK Colt conv by Stigma

Download

The revisions of the Team AK Colt BM map have been completed and the map is ready for release.
This is a small BM map converted from counterstrike by Stigma. It's urban style and has 10 player spawns per team. It has ample weapons and itemes for a map this size.
It is a simple design with a middle courtyard separating the bases and also two side pathways you can use to reach either base.

Me and Hypov8 helped out with the map and Thief|Meph made the monkey mod levelshot.

With the help of Hypov8, Stigma's new Bagman map has had major overhaul and is looking a lot more urban. It should be ready soon but meantime here is an new screenshot of the revised map.

KPBroken v2 by Insane Clown

Download

Recently, I was looking for potential maps that would be good to rotate on {GT}TheGhost's Bloodmoney server and I thought this map was a possible candidate. I was surprised to see we didn't have it in our archive. So I zipped it up, got our good friend Theif|Meph to create MM Levelshot, and then uploaded the map to our Maps download section.
KPBroken v2 looks like it is a conversion from Quake2 or, if not, it was built in the Quake2 style by Insane Clown.
It's a medium sized map and has the most weapons in a level that I have seen. There are heaps. It uses standard textures, has a tight layout and is a lot of fun to play.

Here are two more maps {GT}TheGhost is rotating on his Bloodmoney server at the moment.

Hellsgate Remake Another conversion of the Quake3 map Q3DM1 Arena Gate. It includes the statues and giant tongue :)

Eve of Revenge A remake of the Quake2 Eve of Destruction map.

As I get more Bloodmoney maps I am adding them to the Bloodmoney/maps download section which you can check out here.

Stigma is currently working on a new Bagman map for Kingpin.
The map is a conversion from counterstrike and is called Team AK Colts. It's a small map, has a player load of 12 and only a limited number of weapons. It should be out later this week.

You can check out many of Stigma's other maps at his Cujo's Design website here.

Tuesday night 22nd April there will be a game at our Detropolis Custom Maps Server at 7.30pm Chicago USA time.
{NeW}SNAKE will be on hand to get the game going.

AB|dRunk sent word that he is looking for a mapper or two to convert a map from the Warsow Game for use wth the KP RiotZ mod. The map will need to be scaled down for KP and will also need to be retextured.
If you are intersted in helping and would like to get more info you can contact dRunk here.

Meph send me the custom skin that xraiDeD uses in the servers so I have uploaded it to our clan/custom skin download section and added it to the KP4Ever servers.

NeW Woods by {NeW}Misfit

Download

{NeW}Misfit and Hypov8 have now finished working on the NeW Woods map. This is a smallish DM map for Kingpin. It is set in a small woods and with a log cabin nearby.

There are two versions of the map inlcuded in this zipfile, a sunny version and a darker stormy version. There are 12 player spawns and one of every weapon (except there are 2 shotties). There are also some single player props, rats and a dog included. It is raining lightly in the darker version of the map and there is a nice thunder effect.

Thanks go to Hypov8 who was a big help on this map, lowering rspeeds, creating the lighting effects and various other work :)
Thanks also to Thief|Meph who created the MM Levelshots for these two maps.

Kingpin Board Level conv. by Mr Damage

Download

This is a conversion to Kingpin of the Quake2 map Board Level which was originally created by Brenda EP.
This is a fun deathmatch map set inside a PC on a motherboard. It uses mostly custom textures to represent the mb and the inner workings of a PC. It has 10 player spawns, has ample weapons, and armour but only small amounts of ammo & health.
One feature is that if you jump on top of the processor fan you'll be flung to a ledge (IDE ribbon) on the side of the case where there are some nice items waiting for you :)
Hypov8 was a big help on this map lowering the rspeeds, adding the case fan and misc other improvments so big thanks go out to him.
Full credit to Brenda EP for creating the original map :)
Thanks to Thief|Meph for making the Monkey Mod levelshot included in the zipfile.

[YFS]Mayhem released this Bagman map way back in January 2002 and, although there have been a few good conversions of this map, this is probably my favourite.
3CTF2 Revised is a remake of the Quake3 CTF map Q3CTF1. It has ben retextued by [YFS]Mayhem using his preferred KPDM5 texture set. It also has two money drops which drop cash rolls. There are enough weapons, armour and items to have a good game on this map :)

You can download 3CTF2 Revised from here.

Team DKC by Beav

Download

This map by Beav has gone through several changes since I posted the screenshots a few days ago. The major change is that it is no longer a DM map but has been turned into a Bagman map called Team DKC :)

This is a classic style BM map in that it is an urban setting and is not mirrored. It is medium sized and, although not mirrored, will only take a few minutes to learn.

There are ample weapons, armour and other items scattered throughout the map, the money drop dispenses cash rolls and both bases are easy to find.

It is great to see a new map from Beav after so many years away.

Thanks to Thief|Meph for making the Monkey Mod levelshot included in the zipfile.

{GT}TheGhost is back and he has set up a server running his Bloodmoney Mod in deathmatch mode.
This is a mod where you can play 4 different modes (Bagman, DM, Team DM, and Bloodmoney).

For the Bagman mode it is very similar to normal Bagman accept you don't get your cash from a cash spawner in the map, you hunt down BOTS and PLAYERS to get your cash... You then take the money back to your safe and deposit it, much like Bagman you can also rob the other teams safe. The object of the game is to acquire as much cash for your team as possible, the mod keeps track of your deposits, how much money you steal and also even keeps track of your favorite weapon.

In Deathmatch mode you kill Players and Bots and get their cash and the winner is the player with the most cash.

Some features for Bloodmoney mode are:-
$1000 raids
no limit to how much cash u can hold
extra armour and health on Q2 maps can get unlimited health and 350 full amrour
new Q2 weapons on Q2 maps (railgun, supershotgun, superpistol and more)
hook enabled and also blood hook (new hook)
jetpack enabled
dogs
bots
no cash drop u hunt bots n dogs n other peeps for kill money
no one can steal your kill cash only u can pick it up!
coloured text
choose from 288 taunts binding the number you want or random taunting
choose ya own team name!
choose ya own team head and body skins for whole team

You can get the Bloodmoney client files from here.

Hostname : Blood Money v4.0.6b [DM] (with bots)
