Lux Delux 6.5 with winner-picks mode	2016-02-04	Lux Delux version 6.5 is now available for downloading. The biggest change in this release is the addition of a "Winner Picks" hosting mode, which allows the winner of the game to select the next map that gets played. To enable it, a host can type /winnerpicks true in the chat. If you want to restrict the allowed maps, you can do that, by creating a winnerpicks.txt file inside the Support folder inside the Lux install folder, and writing the name of one map per line in that file. The winner will be able to pick from your list of maps then. This release also contains a few bug-fixes and tweaks. Happy days!
