pak file stuff

[tgn]

that post about changeing the skin colurs for bm games got me thinking. what other pak stuff is there? Ive got a coupel for crosshairs and skins (just put all my skins into one 120mb pak file). Is there anything else out there? Does Bl@ze still have that site with the pak tinkerage stuff on it? Just wondering what it is possible to do.

What would you do without me?

There are quite a few .paks out there
you can either alter your existing pak0.pak (easy to spot - it should be over 100Mb in size if you've never touched it)
or you can make small paks and stick them in the same folder with a higher number and they'll override anything in the lower numbered ones (I think )
There are quite a few "hacks" that you can do but be warned that some ppl do regard it as cheating to do some of them.
off the top of my head;

• turn flames off so you can still see when you're on fire or using the flamer (personally I have the flames turned off from my flamer but if someone else burns me I can still see those flames)
• make grenades a different size & shape (mine balls are big & red) - makes them much easier to see
• turn the rocket launcher trails off
• change the sounds (you should hear Millymogs altered sounds for the curse mod & assault - you hear porno sounds when the nuclear siren goes off etc )

BTW Blaze's site can be found here & dman fine it is too!

do you know if anyone has created small pak files for each thing u can do?
like a
pak 6 - rocket streams off
pak 7 - changed granades
that sort of thing or is it easier to just edit ur pak file then? ive had a much about with the pak file already. got a few custom sounds but was just wondering if someone had created a little pak file for each pak hack?

Pesonally I like to play KP as Xatrix intended it, except for the extra skins of course.

I got some south park and simpsons sounds in a pak file - and i also got rocket trails/flames turned off

[xe-cute]

grrrrr can't find the website but either all of that is cut and pasted from a site i was at a few months ago or they copied it off you m8!

Troggy..
I might add you to my respected list :
My thoughts exactly
(People turning off the flames and rocket trails tut tut)
Youll be making the enemy twice as big next.

ahhh, any chance to make MY model twice smaller?

[Divebomb]

Mut, you could always do what Mathski does and use the "half-the-size-of-the-Thug" Bomberman model...

...the cheeky git

[[K]Blaze]

Soz Dive I couldn't make a model bigger than a barn door so I don't think it'll be much use

Why not publish them on a web-site for everyone?

I agree with you jjaf.de, theese things should be availiable for everyone!

FFS jaffa - lighten up for one little second - all you ever do is try and stir up trouble.
All the paks are available in the public domain but I got them from my clan's private website, hence I offered to send them to interested individuals who are having problems finding them on the web. It was a favour for m8s. I have no webspace of my own apart from my girlfriends site which is running out of space and can't be cluttered up with loads of Kingpin stuff.

Take a chill-pill Daddio! and stop trying to cause trouble.
Dunno what the world is coming to when I get hassled for trying to help someone

[Troggy]

Flamers at the ready,,,,,,

Is this helping or cheating ????????

[[UW] JennyCide]

Cheating or Helping?
Depends on what you're altered pak does
As far as I believe, most of them are just helping.
As I said in another post, making grenades big & red doesn't stop them killing you, changing skin colours is in no way cheating as it is an integral part of virtually all online games. The flames are a different matter, I have changed it so that the flame from my flamethrower is missing so I can see when I flame someone else (not often!) but if someone else flames me & I catch fire then I still get disorientated from the flames as I still catch fire. I always thought the problem with the flamer was that you were penalised for using it by not being able to see.
That's my opinion anyway
Changing Sound samples is just funny.

[RESPEC]

goody, a chance to be pedantic...

flamer is a powerful gun hence it has disadvantages in its use to counter balance its power. removing these disadvantages is cheating. i cant see thru walls , ill remove the textures, that will help me. same thing.

[Troggy]

Good comment RESPEC

[[UW] JennyCide]

They're all powerful weapons - why limit just the flamer - if you think that's cheating then I guess you don't use a zoom bind for the HMG
Maybe Teamtalk should be banned then as it gives the team an unfair opportunity
Taking textures off is a different kettle of fish.
I give up - this conversation has been had many times before on this forums - everyone has their own opinion.
I've given mine.
Please don't give me a hard time for trying to help someone in this community

[Troggy]

I would'nt give ya a hard time jenny babe, and I agree with all comments, but there is a fine line as to what is considered a game "enhancement" or "gaining an unfair advantage" or cheating for want of a better term, at the end of the day you gotta do what your comfortable with, but too much cheating will drive away good players "who don't feel the need to cheat" through frustration.
We have seen a lot of dedicated good players including clan peeps leave this community lately, peeps who have been here since the start of KP, do we want to drive more away because the servers are riddled with cheats ???????
