Monkey Harris has released version5 of his Kingpin patch.
A summary of the new features:-
* All available resolutions are now included in the video mode option in the visuals menu, so you don't need to use the config app to access them.
* Custom resolutions are possible by dragging the window edges and also with a new "vid_size" cvar.
* Fullscreen mode can be set to always use the native resolution.
* The graphics system is no longer reinitialized every time a setting is changed in the visuals menu. Changes can also be applied quicker by just pressing enter instead of using the "apply changes" option.
* Small text HUD items (eg. "time left") and centered text messages use the hi-res font (like in the console).
* The size of HUD items (and centered text messages) can be adjusted via a new option in the visuals menu.
* Centered text message are not logged any more, to stop the overlay and chat text areas being cleared whenever a centered text message is shown.
* Up to 30 crosshairs can be installed. The selected crosshair is also shown alongside in the options menu.
* Health-based crosshair colour options.
* Sound files are loaded asynchronously (in the background) to prevent the game stuttering when Kingpin is installed on a slow drive.
* Custom model sounds are supported (but not downloaded from servers).
Some of Hypo's recent model updates have included sounds.
* Custom player model extras (hats/cigars/etc) are downloaded from servers.
* Binds are reloaded from the main config whenever changing mod so that mod-specific binds don't affect other mods.
* F12 can be set to ask for confirmation before quitting.
* Alt-tab works now.
