All you need for multiplayer
By mrdamage52
This guide has links to all the files you need to play Kingpin multiplayer. Server browsers, patches, maps, mods, skins etc.

These days you can download just about everything from the servers (sounds, custom skies, mod files etc) and the downloads are very fast so the links in this guide are if you just want to grab everything before you connect.

Overview
If you have just bought Kingpin from Steam this guide will show you what files you need and where to download them so you are ready to play some multiplayer.
If you install these files you wont be having to download many files from the servers when you join (such as mod files, maps, player skins etc)
Unofficial Patch
A Higher Screen Resolution Patch that includes many other bug fixes and features
If you want to play in a higher resolution than the kingpin default, fix a number of bugs, and add some other improvements then get the Monkey Harris Kingpin patch:-

Monkey Harris Kingpin Patch[www.kingpin.info]
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.
Then double click on the patchcfg.cfg file to set your custom resolution and several other options and enable the patch.

The Monkey Harris Kingpin patch also adds all the current Kingpin servers to the Gangbang menu (just look in Join Network Server).
Kingpin Server Browsers
If you don't want to use the in game browser that is added by the MH Kingpin patch you can use one of the many Kingpin server browsers that are available. Here are three of them - the updated Gamespylite, Hypo Game Browser and [M] Kingpin Server 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.

[M]'s Kingpin Server Browser
M-Browser by [M] is another Kingpin server browser.
Check out the readme in the zipfile for install instructions and a list of all the features.

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

You can download them from here:-

Why are we still playing this game? Are we in prison? Comedy callback right there. Excellent work by the way :-)
