====== Kingpin: Life of Crime ======

There wasn't a retail Linux version of this game, instead the developers provided a downloadable tarball with Linux binaries to use with the Windows CD :
> To install the Kingpin files, you will need to install Kingpin under win32,
> and then mount the installation folder under linux, and copy the installed
> files across.

Rest assured, you won't need to do that ;-)

===== Install the game =====

To install the required utils :
<code>
# apt-get install unshield xxd
</code>

Next, let's say you want to install the game in ''$HOME/kingpin'' :
<code>
# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

$ mkdir $HOME/kingpin
$ unshield -d $HOME/kingpin -L x /media/cdrom/kingpin/data1.cab
$ cd $HOME/kingpin
$ rsync -a common_files/ mature_files/ program_executable_files/ ./
$ rm -rf common_files/ low_violence_files/ mature_files/ program_executable_files/ us_specific_files/ *.exe *.dll main/gamex86.dll

$ cd main/models/actors/runt/
$ ln -s r_pstl.mdx R_pstl.mdx
$ ln -s l_pstl.mdx L_pstl.mdx
$ cd -

$ cd main/models/actors/thug/
$ ln -s r_pstl.mdx R_pstl.mdx
$ ln -s l_pstl.mdx L_pstl.mdx
$ cd -
</code>

Download ''kingpin-1.20_glibc-i386-linux2.0.tar.gz'' from [[https://downloads.kingpin.info/index.php?dir=kingpin/patches/official/linux/]]

<code>
$ tar xzf kingpin-1.20_glibc-i386-linux2.0.tar.gz -C $HOME/kingpin
$ cd $HOME/kingpin
$ rm lib3dfxgl.so libGL.so libMesaGL* libTNTgl.so
$ mv kingpin kingpin.x86
$ echo $HOME/kingpin > kingpin.conf
$ cp ref_glx.so ref_glx.so.orig
$ echo -n "2020" | xxd -r -p -seek 0x46EA6 - ref_glx.so
$ echo -n "2020" | xxd -r -p -seek 0x47076 - ref_glx.so
</code>

Download [[https://github.com/liflg/kingpin_1.20-english_x86/raw/master/kphack.tar.gz|kphack]]
and extract it in your installation directory.

''kphack'' can be traced back to this [[https://icculus.org/~ravage/kingpin/|unofficial installer]], but I never found the source code :-( 

===== No sound =====
Kingpin is a weird game that doesn't use the SDL and does everything by himself. This is bad :'(

<code>
# systemctl stop osspd
# modprobe snd-pcm-oss
# echo 'kingpin.x86 0 0 direct' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
</code>

===== Start the game =====
