KINGPIN: Life of Crime (TM) - SDK
|
||
|
|
==============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a bare-bones compilation of the tools necessary to
|
||
|
|
create user modifications to Kingpin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kingpin uses the Quake2 engine as a base, and therefore
|
||
|
|
if you are familiar with Quake2 modifications, you will
|
||
|
|
find yourself in very familiar waters with the Kingpin
|
||
|
|
SDK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This SDK consists of:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Game source-code (sdk\gamesrc)
|
||
|
|
Kingpin Data conversion (sdk\kpdata.exe)
|
||
|
|
Example files (sdk\examples)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The source code is very similar to the Quake2 game source
|
||
|
|
that was released publicly. You'll need MS Visual C++ v5.0
|
||
|
|
or higher to use it (earlier versions may work, but have not
|
||
|
|
been tested).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend that only experienced MSVC++ programmers attempt
|
||
|
|
to use the source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build Kingpin model files (.mdx), you will need to use
|
||
|
|
the kpdata.exe tool that is included, along with a script
|
||
|
|
file. There is an example script file provided in the
|
||
|
|
"examples" folder. Open this in a text editor to see how it
|
||
|
|
works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To execute the script, type the following at the dos prompt,
|
||
|
|
whilst inside the SDK folder:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
kpdata examples\makemdx.qdt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will most definately not work, due to the fact that the
|
||
|
|
example models don't exist. That's your task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This utility will convert .md2 (Quake2 model) to .mdx (Kingpin
|
||
|
|
model) files. There are many Quake2 model editors and converters
|
||
|
|
out there, we recommend you search the internet for an
|
||
|
|
editor/convertor combination that works best for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kingpin also supports .md2 files, however, so unless you are
|
||
|
|
creating Plugin Player Models (PPM) or characters that require
|
||
|
|
locational based damage, we recommend you use .md2 files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few maps provided in the "examples\maps" folder.
|
||
|
|
You will need KPradiant that comes on the Kingpin CD to use
|
||
|
|
these files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each map is provided for a different purpose:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bar_sy.map: how to build a bar level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rival_teams.map: how to build a teamplay or deathmatch
|
||
|
|
level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rtpv20.map: an unfinished example motorcycle level. You will
|
||
|
|
need to type "g_vehicle_test 3" before starting this level.
|
||
|
|
Keep in mind that the motorcycles are very rough and unfinished.
|
||
|
|
We decided to keep them in there, incase some mod authors wanted
|
||
|
|
to make a motorcycle-based mod, this gives you a head-start.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sr1.map: the first playable level in the game, this map shows
|
||
|
|
how to build a single player level, with various characters
|
||
|
|
assigned to different gangs, AI moral levels, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

||

|
|
This is an unsupported release. If you have problems using this
|
||
|
|
SDK, we recommend you visit one of several Kingpin fan sites,
|
||
|
|
changes are someone else has a solution to your problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A web-search for "Kingpin" should return several sites worth
|
||
|
|
visiting.
