The ninth release of foxMod sees previously unreleased improvements and bug-fixes, mostly authored in 2014 and 2015 (with a few recent ones as well).
Guided installer for foxMod setup, including options for only installing certain components. Enjoy!

- All-bot teams now reassign orders every few minutes (configurable) and may now have more than one defender by default

Wow, this is INCREDIBLE work. Have you ever tried UT3 or UT2004 using a VR headset with vorpx? Its absolutely incredible, was recently patched to support geometry 3d, but if you created a native version that supported decoupled motion tracking for aiming with motion controllers, like serious sam 3 VR, that would be the best thing ever. Here is how to setup ut2004 for oculus CV1 (although you should just support steam vr if you wrote a vr mod)
1) Update to the mega bonus pack
2) update to latest 3369 patch
3) install the win 64 ut2004 patch.
4) create custom resolution in nvidia graphics control panel of 960x1080
4b) start the game then exit it without adjusting any settings
5) edit the win64 ut2004.ini file (NOT the regular ut2004 ini file) search for '800' or '600' inside the ini file and change the windowed and full screen options with those resolutions to your new custom resolution.
6) start vorpx. right click on vorpx and select create desktop shortcut (credit to tommax for this part)and then browse to the ut 2004 64 exe (NOT the regular ut2004.exe, although they will both be in the system directory).
7) put on your vr headset and start the game. it should work. if there is no sound, exit, then in the windows vorpx configure options unselect 'use for sound' (the sound will come out your computer speakers or tv depending on your default audio device)
8) use xpadder to remap a joystick to keyboard keys.
