LOX mod developer QwazyWabbit has recently revamped and fixed the Day/Night feature for LOX and we are eager to give this awesome feature a workout! This feature simulates the passing of time from day to night and can be configured by the server admin to adjust for darkness levels and the amount of time between day and night cycles. The object of the Tournament is to destroy everything that lie in your path all while staying alive through the night. You can use the flashlight, scanner, or even use your blaster or available weapon to light your way but look out for those lurking in the darkness of the night :) The player with the highest combined score after six maps will be declared the Day&Night Winner!

In addition, the new weapons and grenades by theLopez and Phlem's Off-World teleport system are also documented. The LOX documents will be evolving as the mod grows and changes are needed, but I hope to have included all the awesome new features and weapons to help get everyone updated on the new info!

LOX Unlimited is already on it's new IP. The Complete GameCam 1.04qw Edition The complete QwazyWabbit source and binaries for Linux and Windows derived from Avi Rozen's GameCam 1.04 can be found here: http://www.windowmeister.com/lox/gamecam104qw.zip See also Avi's excellent documentation and support files here: http://www.telefragged.com/zungbang/gamecam/ My version of GameCam gets installed a little differently under Windows than Avi's original instructions call for. Avi originally had GameCam installed in \quake2\release\ and in this case the Q2 engine would load the GameCam DLL (gamex86.dll) from that folder and then load the (gamex86.dll) of the game mod from whatever mod you were running. The Linux installation calls for renaming the *.so files and to place the GameCam module into the mod folder to make the game engine load the GameCam module first and then the mod. The inconsistency to this and certain debug methods I was using caused me to change the way GameCam works. The QW version of GameCam gets named gamex86.dll and the LOX mod gets named gamex86.real.dll just like their counterparts in Linux. Read on ..
