LOX

Quake 2 mod |

This is a Quake2 extreme weapons mod, a derivative of the old Weapons of Destruction, only with much more "zing". The released version has been out for over 6 years. Updates with improvements, new features, and increased reliability occur at least 3 times per year. Features include over 80 unique weapons, with 65+ unique player features including snanners, decoy bots, cloaking, angels (special power-ups), interserver teleports, full entity addition enabling for adding features to existing maps, and more! Code includes Windows and Linux dedicated servers, which run great on the latest hardware as well as your old Pentium 2 300 MHz box. Is Q2 a little dated? Yeah, but with the new hardware, including wizbang graphics cards, it looks great! And did I mention we have maps? The WOS crew, past and present, have created some astounding maps. Plus with the help of their ISP host and fearless leader, they host one of the best Q2 map download servers around, one that also hosts HF / HF2...

Post news Report RSS Q2 LOX - Still Alive (obsolete)

This mod still gets some code maintenance. There are still a handful of servers running here and there, including loxophilia (available at loxophilia.clanwos.org). We are looking into moving the source into the public domain, possibly via a Git project. This article should have been replaced by a new one instead of being edited in place. (Pilot error, sorry)

The LOX2 Project never saw completion, but the original LOX mod is still alive and gets occasional maintenance. We are looking to move the source into the public domain, possibly via a Git project.

Some work is underway to connect a Python-driven bot interface to LOX, using the old FEAR AI code from Alex Champandard. This is experimental, but servers testing the "new" features will pop up now and then.
