Nearly a Beta - 7.50 Release Candidate 2
This week we're having practice run at the release of the next Exterminatus Beta. Two flavours of the EX install both need to be tested, the ZIP and the EXE. These are what's called "release candidates" and are the last chance to get the installation working before the mod gets released mirrored and pimped all over the internets.
Updated Saturday March the 30th
These are both intended as full installations, to replace the current beta 7.25. If you install this version you will not be able to play beta 7.25. Both installers were updated to RC2 on march 30th.

Installation instructions
- Uninstall any previous EX beta by deleting your sourcemods/ex folder
- Run the installer and follow the instructions it gives you
- Restart Steam.
If you have problems installing or running this version please report it on the Steam Community Game Group discussion board.
Tweaks
- Replaced the powersword effect particle system with a glowing blade texture as the particle were not compatible with the inferno pistol's melta beam.
- Version 5 of city conflict is the new the standard city conflict,
- The final barrier objective on ex_hive was buffed to have as much strength as the casket in ex_valley.
- Reverted some of i'm a Turtle's new sounds that were not working (Boltgun clipping, some of the Carnifex growls).
- Tweaked the preaching of Missiles and plasmabolts.
- Tweaked the tyranid player models (trying to fix an engine crash when connection to running, populated servers).
EDIT: Updated Saturday March the 30th
Release candidate 1 has some minor problems that I wanted to address before the Beta, but RC2 wasn't ready for a mid-week test.
Spore mines seem to be doing a bit too much damage. I don't like tweaking it this late, but it must be done.
The veteran power weapon effects need patching.
Tweaks
- Buffed the health of Hive's final objective.
- Nerfed the damage of Spore mines from 45 to 40,
- Applied the powersword effects patch to the RC.
Beta Release Next Week
I want to run a quick test of these features before releasing a new Beta. Awkwardly my internet connection will be disrupted in this coming week due to my line being upgraded. This means I don't expect to be able to host my dedicated server during that week. I doesn't feel right launching a new beta with CozWorld as the only server operator, so i'm looking to delay he Beta release until Saturday the 6th, even if RC2 is a glorious success.

Codex Exterminatus
Small patch this week, with some final (I hope) balance adjustments and tweaks. I have also spent some time updating the help pages with the new wargear and latest tactics (proof reading required).
Download 7.35 (4,429 KB)

Installation instructions
- Install Alpha 7.33 roll up if haven't already.
- Extract the 7.34 patch to your sourcemods folder ( they should overwrite files in the ex_alpha folder ).
- Extract the 7.35 patch to your sourcemods folder ( they should overwrite files in the ex_alpha folder ).
- Restart Steam.
If you have problems installing or running this patch visit the Steam Community Game Group, chat room on Steam. I'll be there to offer advice during testing times (please be patient, I will be in-game, participating in the test at the same time).
Balance
- Buffed Venom Cannon to require only 1 reload between each shot
- Nerfed Venom Cannon radius from 150 to 100 to reflect it's new, higher ROF
Tweaks
- Tweaked the power weapon effect for view models (still no effect for world models).
- Tweaked the Venom Cannon effect to reflect its actual area of effect.
- Tweaked the Flamer code to try and prevent the intermittent client crashes from last week.
- Documented the Flamer, Plasmagun, Venom Cannon, Powersword and Psychic Healing in the Help.
Catch Up
- This patch also includes sounds, effects and map text that may have been missing in previous updates
Future
If the Venom Cannon balance changes prove to be balanced and fun next week we will have a full install ZIP to test out the release candidate for the next Beta version. There is still a slim hope that The Vman and Im a Turtle will come through with some particle system and sound effect updates by then.
