If you have just download the Caleb model why not grab the two skin packs for this model.

The first skin pack was created by {GT}Syl^cs and released just after he had released the Caleb Model .

The second skin pack was released in August 2004 and contains four skins converted from Quake2.

You can download the skin packs from here:-

Skin pack #1
Skin Pack #2

Skin Pack #1 & Skin Pack #2

Here is another of my favourite custom player models.

The model was converted to Kingpin by [GT]Sylacs. The model is based on the Caleb character from the classic Blood game from Monolith.
You can download Caleb from here.

Midnight Creeper is a map by Sonik which he released back in April of 2006.

It's a small/medium sized, urban style map carrying on the theme from his previous map 10th Street. Its a tight little map, small area but lots of places to frag in and enough weapons and items.
You can download Midnight Creeper from here.

One of my favourite custom models is Messiah. Sylacs converted the popular Quake2 Player Model for Kingpin. This was originally a clan player model in Quake2 - "He is the Trench coat sportin' Shotgun totin' Messiah" made by Slaine & Happy Slappy.
You can download the Messiah model from here.

There is also a big skin pack for thsi model. Forty or so skins for the Male Messiah model all of which were converted from Quake2. There are many different styles and types with skins of Neo, The Professional, The Crow, The Don a Reverend etc etc. Just extract all files to your Kingpin folder.

Here is a map I released in April of 2005. This is a small arena style DM map which is an update of the Tunnels map made by Deefa. There is a main area containing a central tower & walkways which criss-cross the main area leading to outer rooms and corridors. If you fall from the walkways you will end up in the lava but you can run to the centre of the map where the tower has a ladder.
You can download Tunnels v2 from here.

It looks like The Simpsons are about to be immortalised by the US Postal Service with a set of postage stamps to be released to celebrate their 20th Anniversary on air.
However the celebrated yellow skinned family and their friends have been celebrated in FPS games for the past several years and Kingpin is no exception. There have been several custom skins and models of some of The Simpsons characters created for Kingpin.

Here are the ones we host at KP4Eever:-

Runt Skins
Barney Gumble
Don Homer
Homer

All the zip files are setup so you just have to extract the files to your Kingpin folder.

NB The Don Homer Runt skin comes with a replacement Stetson hat which will overwrite the existing one. If you don't want to overwrite the existing one don't extract the stetson1.tga file from the zip or before you extract the files back up this file:-

Captain Death has posted some more hi-res screenshots of Kingpin running in his new rendering engine.
You can check them out in his latest post in this forum thread here.

Here is a new map converted to Kingpin from Quake called Acrophobia. The original map in Quake was created by John Romero.
It's a small deathmatch map in the classic Quake style. Its a multi level map and there are areas under water on the lower level. It has 12 player spawns, ample weapons and items (including some in the water) and uses the original Quake textures.

You can download the map from here.

Jeref's servers (including his Insanity Mod, Shreddder Mod and 1v1 servers) are back up after a power problem.
If you look in Gamespy Lite you'll see them all back up :)

We have put our Extreme mod server back up for a while.
If you feel like a game then there is one planned there for Thursday Night. Details are:-

Date : Thursday 7th of May
Name : KP4Ever's Extreme Mod Server
Time : 7.30pm Chicago time

To check what time it is where you are when the game is on check the World Clock site here.

I just found a new article written about Kingpin in March this year at POWET.TV. It's nothing out of the ordinary but it's good to see ppl still writing articles about this great game.
Check it out here.

Here are two maps based on Doom2 maps:-

Entryway DM converted by Mr Damage This is the Entryway Level from Doom2. This map was originally made for Quake2 by Hawkmoon as an enhanced version of the Doom2 Map01 - Entryway. It uses all Doom2 style textures, has a custom sky, and has ample weapons and other items. One thing I remember about converting this map was that it was a real challange getting the triggered platforms working properly in the map for Kingpin :)
You can download Entryway DM from here

Dead Serious by -=Mad-Dog=- Dead Serious is a remake of the classic Doom2 map Dead Simple.
He used the Serious Sam texture pack resulting in a great looking map. It has 16 player spawns, loads of weaps & ammo, and a shootable switch revealing a secret. This map also includes custom sky & sounds.
