Just note one change to the schedule though. I have changed the Extreme mod server for a XMAS Mod Team DM Server over the Christmas period. So XMAS Mod Team DM takes the Thursday night slot for the next couple of weeks.

Back in 2005 UnevenRatio released a deathmatch map where the only weapons in the map are shotguns.
The map is called DM Shot Gun and is a small two roomed map which uses mainly light coloured textures. There are two main rooms connected via corridors and lots of crates and barrels strewn around the rooms. With the only weapon being the shotty there is lots of in your face killing :)
You can download DM Shot Gun from here.

Team Middle Ages (final) is a Bagman map made by Kasami way back in 2000.

As the name suggests the map has a middle ages theme. It's a large map with the main part of the map being a giant castle with the two bases at either end. The safes are under a gallows (Dragons) and a guillotine (Nikkis). There are several ways to reach the opposing base including through the castle, underwater, through rocky canyons, up high via the castle ramparts etc. Hogie assisted with this map and you can see his influence on it. Although there are no big caches of weapons and items but instead they are spread throughout the map.
You can download Team Middle Ages (final) from here.

We host a couple of good lighting tutorials here at KP4Ever that should be of help to you budding mappers out there.

The first one is Kingpin Light Styles (lightstyles.exe) and is a great little utility that allows you to click on a light style to learn more about it and to see a short preview. It really helps you to choose a light stlye for your map.
You can download Light Styles from here.

The second one is a light tutorial by Kasami which explains all the basics of lighting your maps. It is detailed and has lots of diagrams and an example map which you can also download.
The two files are avaliable here:-

Here is a Deathmatch map that Stigma released a couple of years ago.
It is a small winter style map set in and around a large city. It has several buildings in the map and custom textures were used for most of these. There are two levels in the map, lots of crates and boxes scattered around it, as well as heaps of weapons and other items.

You can play 4 different modes (Bagman, DM, Team DM, and Bloodmoney).
In Deathmatch mode you kill Players and Bots and get their cash and the winner is the player with the most cash.
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.
