Welcome to the Exterminatus (EX) website. EX is a team based, Warhammer 40,000 themed, total conversion for the Source game engine (as used in Half-Life 2). EX is being developed by the team that brought you Rival Species for Half-life. The Extermintus beta has been opened to the public for several years. You can download the latest beta from the Downloads page and play it yourself. |

![]() by ChromeAngel - March 26, 2013, 07:10:05 pm - Discuss Nearly a Beta - 7.50 Release Candidate 2This 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.
If you have problems installing or running this version please report it on the Steam Community Game Group discussion board. Tweaks
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
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. ![]() by ChromeAngel - March 23, 2013, 03:21:42 pm - Discuss Codex ExterminatusSmall 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).
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

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. ![]() by ChromeAngel - March 17, 2013, 12:40:15 pm - Discuss |
