Kingpin "Issues" -- 9:41 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Ryan "Ridah" Feltrin, formerly of Xatrix, updated his .plan with the status of the sad situation that is Kingpin. Here's a snip or two:

This is something I have looked at several times, after hearing some negative feedback from a few users. Each time I've looked into it, I have failed to find any hard evidence of network code inefficiencies.
. . .
[T]he timing of the Kingpin SDK might not have been ideal, but given the release schedule of the binary patches, it just didn't make sense to put out the SDK until the game was all patched up. Unfortunately I was unable to compile the 1.21 release for Linux at the time of release, so that was left at v1.2, and the v1.21 SDK was released only with win32 components. This has left Kingpin in a state of dissarry.

I've never personally played Kingpin, so I can't comment. It DOES concern me that this new group that Feltrin is in is behind the upcoming sequel to Wolfenstein 3D called Return to Wolfenstein (story). Let's hope the same ills don't befall that project.
