40K Source

Anyone remember me? Haha :D

So whats the deal on RS2? Its for Source and? Same style?
Anything new? D:!!

Yea I ask to much :o

Its a entirely new mod based in our fav grim darkness rather than a port of the current RS to hl2.

currently the details are being decided by a vote in the current RS forums but basically its gonna be 2 races fighting it out. At this point it should be noted its gonna be ONLY 2 races, no more than that so the content can be kept manageable.

Hey St0lve! I remember you  :D Mapper, modeller, texture artist, you started that Necromunda mod.  Drop by #rspecies2 on quakenet sometime  :wink:

Velcome to WH40k:Exterminatus rival species, or at least thats what the logo has me believeing:P

oh noes Quakenet D:! I really just hang on Gamesurge.net these days.

Yeah I started a NM mod, but I failed cause I basicly had no idea about leading such a prodject. Lesson learned.

Any new gamemodes suggestions or just the races'?

We have at least 5 different gameplay mode variations on the drawing board for the leading settings, all suggestions are welcome until the settings poll is closed.

Hi everybody :D

HI ^^ and .. who are you?

Hi I'm new.
My name is Jesse Ronkainen, aka outtis. I live in Kiihtelysvaara, Finland and I am 17 years old.

That's really all there is to know about me.

hey boyz!
I'm lurking around here and the RS1 forum, do you remember me? :D
Hope to see some great action out here soon :D
Keep up the good work!

of course i remember you ^^ from some old days beta testing i think... .

Those many moons ago

i have come to bring more darkness and despare.

Hi guys the great pain in the ass is back  :D
Good luck with this project looking forward for the results and also for the nit picking (but a bolter shots explosive rounds and so on)

i just looked at the weapon model and it says bolt pistol. so whats the bolter going to look like. because that bolt pistol rocks. hopefully we can see the firstperson veiw of the model as well.

keep up the good cause. :D

Damnit will you lot log in :/

sorry that last guest post was me. all fixed now. look at discussions \/

good call.
The bad call is that I'm really busy with university..
agh!
let me splat some 'nyds!

errr this was me :D stupid cookies!

Hi I'm T_S, I'm not an alchoholic.
I'm also an idiot, i thought Rival Species and the 40K mod were two separate things (DUFUS!!)  :roll:  
I work on UT40K when I can and i can model.
See my other post

hey i'm cadian 8th from the RS1 forums.  i kinda mispelled my name but i'm too lazy to change it.  new mod looks great

*bump*


Hi I'm new :D First post, and I haven't even joined yet.
Hope we get this animating working, so I can animate :D
Car crashes are fun, make more tommorow.  :twisted:

I'm new too.
Haven't played Rival Species, but tried to join the 40K mod.
Sadly, it died before I could produce anything.

I love anything from Games Workshop, so I searched through all the HL2 mods until I found this one.

I hope I can assist the team with the mod, though I haven't been on a FPS mod project before. I have some experience at game manipulating from Warcraft III, and some coding too (Python language).
Just dl'ed the XSI mod tool, hope I can figure out how to create something useful with it.

Welcome All, glad to have you aboard  :)

Aahhh new souls to devour :twisted:

Hi I'm new.

lol

Just testing my sig to see how it looks. An off topic section could be nice.

:evil: Jebus, please remove or change your sig to one the doesnt animate.  It's very distracting and not even slightly relevant to this forum.  

Very funny  :lol:  but this is not the place for it.

Ok no problem.

Hello Everybody. I found the way to this Forum, too. I am curious how it will be go on with RS2.

Yo, I'm new, none of yall know, me and shouldn't recognize me from anywhere. Meerly played Rival Species.

Hey, I'm new :)

I originally helped a little with Rival Species a long long time ago, and still check up with whats going on from time to time. Can't wait to see how this Source endeavour will turn out.

i remember you, welcome back!  :)

mouhaha the old alpha tester returns, if anyone should remember me from RS1 its bahl, for my extensive use of khorne berzerkers or Razielk as i believe we started that eldar clan.

man has it been long, like what? 1-1.5 years? dont even want to know how much patching i will be forced to do for RS 1 :D

welcome back Zimran, it will probably be easier to download the new complete new version of RS1 then to get all the patches  :)

yeah i remember Kyranids clan "Children of Isha" or "Sons of Isha"....one or the other, but since then i have been happily in the Ordo Xenos  :wink:

yeah, that was the name! damn, couldn't put my finger on it.

so you're in OX? nice, which are the members there now a days anyway?

sadly there arnt too many of us now, there is Alhaus, Korkonius and me who are still active, the others have gone to persue other things  :(

but at least some of us are still here!

hmm ok, tried out a game just the other moment, man was the server laggy, is the game really that unpopulare that there are only 2 servers?

Hello :)

hellu orgun

Hello ppl. im quite new to the forums but ive been at the irc channel for a few days now. Some of you know me there as [vXo]MetriodSun

Hurray! Yet another with different IRC/forum name...  :?

welcome Orgun and Metriod/Bringer :)

I thought this was the best place to say it.
Some of you already know that I will leave my country the 14.th January to travel. For the next ½ year I will be without my computer, and probably be so busy that I wouldn't be very active even if I brought it with me.  :(
But I will try to check the forum and participate in the discussion, as often as it is possible.

cya, good luck and have fun

well.. erm... hi!  :D

yup, i am *that* Charon.

sorry that i vanished, was just too busy with my life.
hope to have more time to come here more often and drop by on quakenet from time to time!

Having fun there in the warp Charon?

Hows the slanessh hotel?

Oh and Charon get your bum over to here ---> www.ordoxenos.com :P

nice to see you both here too! :D

the slaanesh hotel wasn't worth its money though ;)

yeah, already saw the site, nice!
tried to reach the old site some time ago and wondered that i couldn't find it anymore.

more people still around from the time when last visited?

Hello, My name is Rebellion but if you feel like it you can call me Jack. I dont collect the figures because i make an arse of painting them, but i read the books and play most of the console games. I also write some Fan Fic about WH, So look out for it :). Cant wait until the new mod comes out, and good luck with it. Ill help any way i can.
Jack Out :D

Raz is still with us. Bap can be reached through MSN but he is never on IRC anymore... You should terminate your crusade and return to us at once Charon :P

Hi all, im n00b :)

How's it going guys, long time no...text? ^^

How are you guys Doing `ey?

Welcome, Dread and SCAR....
(Punctuation might be wrong  :wink: )

Heyy im Col.Schaeffer, i played Rival Species from approx. 2003-2004. I occasionally put up a clan server, which is rather laggy for most of you because im from Australia. Although our clan doesn't play RS anymore im hoping to get all the boys back together and start playing RS2!

good to see the old school RS massive coming back beyond the Dev team.

Hi all i am Doomed2Die also known as almight_noggin yada yada  :roll: . Im not new in a sence since i play/have played RS1 and have hosted listen servers from time to time, dispite my tremendously crappy wireless router lol.

It looks like we might actually get some servers for RS2.
Which is nice.  :D

yes i think that many servers will pop up. i'm going to host an Australian server so us aussies can play with a nice latency  :wink:

Hello all, I'm Fulgrim. Some here might know me from the irc or RS1. Finally decided to join on the forum too.

I do know you, yes. ;)

Hi, I'm new to the forums... Wow, this modification is going to rock as far as I have seen so far... Can't wait until it's finished

Hi and welcome to RS2, just one thing to say, hope that pic isnt made and copyrighted by GW, otherwise the mod gets in trouble ^^

the pic is made by GW and therefore a breach of cpywrite, you have to remove it, no matter how cool or approperate it is.

*sign* damn GW lawyers...

Yeah, I'll change it to something different... although it looks cool in my opinion

Wow, came across this site by accident but glad i found it. Any idea what sort of time it will be released?

"when its done"

Hi i am Storm-wolf. I am new here. I played a bit on RS1 (was great fun) and now i just can't wait to play exterminatus.

This new project looks very good. I like the idea of some AI controled bots helping players.
I trust the team and i am sure you'll achieve great work here.

Unfortunatly i have not much time to spend on the forum for the moment ( must study exams), but in september all those exams will be over and i ll have so time to spend on the forum, and hopefully, time to play RS2:Exterminatus :-) .

Storm-wolf, 21 years old, from belgium.

Hello.

My name is Michael, aka Grandmaster B. I'm going to try to create some custom sound effects for the Rival Species 2 mod. Currently I'm a student of sound design at Vancouver Film School. The school has a lot of ties with Relic Entertainment so it's a neat coincidence that I'll be working on a Warhammer 40,000 mod.

As for sounds, what I'd need is a list of all the sounds required. ChromeAngel supplied me with a short list already, enough to get started. Specifics are great. How the sound will be implemented in the game engine (one-shot, loop, etc.). How long the sound should be (be precise... in seconds, milliseconds, etc.). What it should sound like. The more specific, the easier my job will be.

I'll post the sounds on my ftp and make them public to whoever wants to check them out. Please keep all criticism constructive. I don't mind if you don't like the sounds but please tell me why (also why you like the sounds). Again the more specific, the better for me. Are there not enough lows, mids, highs? etc. If you have an idea of what it should sound like, please tell me and I'll try to check it out (games, movies, etc...).

Don't worry about hurting my feelings. These sounds are for you. I have requirements for my school I need to meet but for the most part, I really want to make as many people happy as possible. Grades aren't that important in the sound industry.

Cheers,

Grandmaster B

Welcome and good luck with the sounds!  :D

Welcome  8)  and Good luck with your work

very good! welcome!

Hello Everybody. I've followed the 40K storyline for a couple of years (gave up collecting it though :P) and have been mapping since the ol' Goldsource days.  I like the way this mod is going and would love to contribute a map or two through the community.

I'm a regular over at the website www.interlopers.net where I was raised into source.

Welcome aboard Ripperhugme, help yourself to an MDK (http://www.40ksource.com/downloads.php), experienced mappers are most welcome.  Have you got any screenshots of your work we can take a look at?

http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14396

A 'map battle' I entered recently (2nd entry, 2nd place)

http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15084

My current WIP map.

http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11559

Another map battle (3rd entry, 5th or something place).

http://customize.addondb.com/524/dm-zeus/

My most recently released map.

I'm a bit of a 'blocky' mapper (due to hl1 days, where props were non existent and the brushes were in prime) but with plenty of props I've seen in the MDK there shouldn't be a problem. I can also make custom textures.

EDIT: A bit of messing around with the MDK.

(http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9752/exironclad6ks.jpg)

mmm mapage, somone get this man the city masterplan!

If anyone was worrying don't that's just the space marine spawn corridor (no 'nids can get in there). I sorta want the map to be like that map in RS1 where players started up in space and teleported down.

ah landingzone.

my only advice would be that remeber the Nid Players will have a small group of AI controlled bots to order about and the nids themselfs are very tall and generally huge (the carnifex is about the half size of the land raider) so there gonna need space to move about.

For some strange reason I coulden't register on old RS1 forum. But I manege to register here.


Btw, You should register your first clan channel on Quakenet so any newcomer won't get op status after join. It's not that hard.

the rs1 boards are in a bit of a mess and suffer from extensive bot spam problems.

there ebing slowly moved into a upgraded forum system but its taking time and thus during the transition things get broke a lot.

just post about rs1 in the 40k discussion section here if you need something related to the mod and cant get access to the board. Most fo the players and dev team from it are here anyway.

Hi i'm Aphex, I play Dawn of war and CSS. and have seen thousands of mods that combine them together. but this one doesn't look like one that will fail. So I hope this mod turns out good. I'm a mapper of low skill but a mapper, and hope to make a map with the Mdk,  :D Ill get to work on some map ideas now  :D

welcome to the forum and good luck with your map!

hey guys i just saw this mod on moddb and it looks great im a big fan of warhammer 40k and i cant wait for this and its a 1st person shooter :D

Nice to see a new face.
Welcome

Hey everybody!

I'm Ben, and I'm currently volunteering my expertise (LOL!) and will hopefully be working on some sounds for Exterminatus. I plan to get started on a trippy sound for the Zoanthrope's Psychic powers (inspired by Chrome Angel's suggestions) so I will hopefully be posting a link to a preliminary idea by the end of the week.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the fourm Ben, looking forward to it.

Hey all, just another person who saw this mod on moddb and thought Id drop by.

On that note, awesome mod guys, really looks like its heading in the right direction, I would offer to help, but I doubt theres really anyway I can help.

Hi, I'm new!

My name's Matt, I'm 23 and I spend a lot of free time mapping for HL2. I'm currently working on a mod/map-pack for HL2 called Last Resort which can be found on ModDB here:
http://mods.moddb.com/8345/last-resort/

I also have an online portfolio here (but it seems to be down at the moment):
http://www.figmentsandpigments.cjb.net/

I used to collect Tyranids when I was about 12 but since then I haven't really had a lot to do with Citadel Miniatures except recently playing Dawn of War. I love the style and setting though and I'm looking forward to mapping some of these awesome set-pieces.

I'm currently working on a swamp base map and I'll have some screenshots ready quite soon hopefully.

Hey Guys Game Audio Societyhas signed up, we hope to work with you on this project would be good to get more credit while we have all this beautiful equipment at our exposal ;)

There is three of us Me(Skylour), Nate, and Natalie, thanks!

Always nice with people who want to work on the project...

Oi!  I'm Doombringer, Pasanius, and Hollywars.  You old school guys like OlimnuZ and the Dev Team remember me and my CC skillz.  I'm 12.

Hi there. Lleman from another 40k-ish mod. (or rather 30k mod... check my userbar ;) )
Good to see you guys are working along on this mod. I had much fun with RS and hope to get much more with E:RS2

Hello. i am looking forward to your mod. it is looking good from what i can see of it. one question though.. Will you have those mechs from 40k in your mod? keep up the good work.

Welcome aboard.

The mechs are called Dreadnaughts and currently there is no plan to include them at this time, this may change at a later unknown date, but dont hold your breath as big things liek that take a lot of time to impliment.

There also a pain to balance correctly due to there nature of being uber.

unless he ment titans, in which case they probably wont be in it

hello every1, i am a new member and i really look forward to this game, any news when it is going to be released?
i downloaded the map dev kit but dont know hell to do with it....
a reply would be appreciated.. hehe

when will it be released? - when its ready, no sooner.

The map dev kit should be extracted into your source mods folder under your steam instalation, mine is locatyed at:

D:\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods

then you restart steam and will eb able to access it. You will probably need HL2 and the source MDK installed as well.

Here is a link to the SDK documentation:
http://www.banntal.de/40ksource.com/wiki_manual/index.php5?title=Map_Development_Kit

geez, thx ppl :D
help is appreciated these days. thx for the reply and take care.
another question, was looking through the post and stuff and saw that a server was up for RS 1`?
what happened?
was eager to play but not a single server online.... such a shame...
well well, take care every1

Yeah i was talking about the dreadnoughts. cant you just use the code they used for that "dog" bot thing in HL2? and replace it with the mechs from WH. i know its prolly alot more complicated then that. lol maybe one day you guys could use my games engine.  8) anyways just having the soldiers would kick butt. i like what i am seeing so far.

@ Irren - We ran out of money for the OX server, there is however a rs1 test server ran by Bahl that is used with his open alpha, see www.rivalspecies.com for the info

@ Steelkiller - No, the game does not work like that, Dog has a internal skelition and movements that are nothing like a Dreadnaught. There is no "code" that deals with the object as a whole. No magic easy way in.

that and we dont want to include vechiles of any type at this time as player useable entities.

Thats kewl. yeah i heard something like it is very hard to put usable vehicles into the source engine for online play.

oh ok,that wasnt good, well was there not any donations or anything?
Will it be able to download when it is finished or will you need to buy it?
Atleast good to know what is happening than being ignorant.
take care// God

Its a mod, its free to use as long as you have the game were using as a base. In this case its Half Life 2.

So if you own HL2 you will be able to play straight away.

Were all non-profit, in fact its actually costing us money with all the hosting and stuff.

Cant recall if i introduced myself or not. i am SteelKiller been modding games for a couple years now. currently working on a full ver, game with some fellow modders. BTW my thread got deleted for asking for screens or a vid. whats up with that?

Sorry thats my fault for forgetting to PM you about it, see your PMs, its nothign bad just tiding things up.

Kewl thanks for the link those pics are wicked. i forgot to add in my above post that i am a 3D Modeler. i use 3dsmax8.

Hey what it is yall nice to meet yall cant wait to play this W40k mod someday :D

Welcome Aboard.

Hiya all, tough i suppose i should've posted this sooner.

I'm what you could call a rival species veteran, having played the HL1 mod for quite some time, usually under the name of Coteaz HB., or just Coty HB.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this mod will go. Hopefully to better places than the first one after WON's shutdown.

Hey all, Most definitely should have registered earlier. So here I am. I used to play RS1 a while ago before I went to college. Now I mostly play Fistful of Frags as Otto. So here I am i can't wait to play this. Looks very well done. Also anyone else excited for soulstorm?

Hey, I'm new!

Been a fan of Warhammer, 40K and associated universes since I was six...and this is possibly one of the best looking HL2 mods I have seen in a while!

the whole reason for my registering was to put forth a couple of ideas, and keep track of your progress. A question, are you still having trouble/have abandoned the issue of spawns?

Welcome on board.

The spawn system no longer uses the Thunderhawk/harpy fly in and drop you off technique, were just nto able to provide it given the limitations of Source (the code rather than actual in game stuff).

Ah, shame. It looked good in one of the videos I saw.

Yo, I'd post more indepth introduction but I'm just to stoked at this time. But I'm a vet heavy weapons goon and cant wait to get my paws on the heavy bolter.

"hi I'm new!"

Name's Tim (obviously :) ). I came across Exterminatus last week and I was quite impressed with what I saw so I wanted to join up. Warhammer 40k is awesome and this looks to be a great mod. Looking forward to the playable version. Keep up the good work!

Hello hello, haven't had a chance to look up this mod in a while - looks like it's coming along really well, used to be on the old forums as "MrCoal"

Shame that Beta is closed, looks fun! But we all must wait for good things :D

Hi I'm...not exactly new. Used to be a member of RS forums for a bit. Typh remembers me.

Right? Right.....? :(

im afraid so. Also hello from my mobile in bath.

Greetings Brothers!

I am Brother Arius of the Ultramarines and it pleases me to see such effort to purge the vile xenos that ravaged our home world, Macragge.

I am anxious to join the fray with my brothers; however I understand that the Tech Priests constructing this project require a great deal of time to envoke the correct blessings!

The Emperor Protects!

Greeting Brother, wlcome aboard the RS2 Battlebarge.

Indeed the Tech Priest are busy envoking the sacred machine spirits to allow the glorious release of the "open beta" (i know not what this means, clearly some technical thing of importance).

they tell me sooner than you think but later than you know. The Emperor works in mysterious ways, clearly.

Ah, Brother Chaplain!  It is an honour!

If ever my assistance is required in the rituals know that it is always welcome.  I am skilled in the arts of terraforming (mapping) and if ever you are running short of Brothers to enter the testing fields do not hesitate to call upon me!

Also, I have entered a history log of a great battle in the librarium here, if you wish to see it you can access it via this code: http://www.banntal.de/rspecies2/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=483

Welcome aboard Arius,

We are always on the look out for new mappers!  If you would like to give mapping for exterminatus a go, our MDK is available in the downloads section here http://www.40ksource.com/downloads.php.  Do you have any pics of your maps?

Anyway I hope you enjoy your stay here!

Hi sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.

I downloaded that pack but I am not entirely sure what to do with it?  Shall I dump the whole thing in SDK?

The  MDK Manual (http://www.banntal.de/40ksource.com/wiki_manual/index.php5?title=Map_Development_Kit) explains hoiw to install it.  That link is also on the download page.  If you need any help with that, just post in the contributors forum and we'll help you out best we can.

Hello, my name is Nick . I run a small tf2 clan and server and am very intrested in this mod. I myself play 40k, along with my co-owner zach.

I will be contributing much to this mod, using the resources of my self and my clan to bring as many maps as possible.

Hello and welcome.

you can find the RS2: MDK (map dev kit) on the frontpage for all mapping needs, and our IRC channel on quakenet for all questions.

hi i'm mostly new.

Played RS for a while a long time ago. 

Greetings I am the Oracle of tzeeentch!  I am new here but I've been a big fan of warhammer 40k for a long time.  I tried rival species 1 and it was very cool but noones on it now.  This mod looks very cool and I can't wait till it's out.

Hey guys, new lurker reporting in. I played Rival Species back in the day, though I only had a shotgun 56k connection (two 56k connections linked together for double bandwidth) at the time because I lived in the sticks. Amazing you could play shooters with a 300 ping back then.


Anyway, Something Awful brought my attention that there was a sequel to the original- I can't wait until the beta is public!

Hi all others on the forum!

As well that I have Steam...Waiting for the mod  8)

Hey there, i'm not new, but i can finally log on! Wouldnt let me sign up when i tried before... some might remember me from when the RS beta was still played. Ive helped test the current alpha quite a lot but im waiting for bahl to get a new release done, havnt heard from him in a while...

Anyway, ive always followed this mod, its looking totally awesome. Cant wait to have a go!

Hi, I just registered here.
As you can see in my signature, I work at hlportal.de, Germany's biggest site for Half-Life and its modifications. I regularly check your homepage (40ksource.com, moddb.com,...) for informations, because I play the tabletop game, too and really am looking forward to the release of your mod.
I just did a news on our site from your last update ( http://www.hlportal.de/?site=news&do=shownews&news_id=6266 ).

If you are interested, I would join as a beta tester, too; just need to know, what I will have to do and everything else ;) If wished, I would be able to write more detailled informations on the gameplay so far (only that you want to get public, of course).

Thank you for your interest, and welcome to the forums, also http://40ksource.de/ - our german webby version. Hmm needs updating.

However our BETA allotment (that is the number of people required) is currently full, please see this thread for more information:

http://www.40ksource.com/forum/index.php?topic=446.0

More spaces may be opened later in the development cycle, there will be an announcement of thats the case.

Thanks a lot for that immediate answer ;) (I know the German site, but the English one is more up to date :D )

ok.. first.

hi i'm new.
just registered.
acctually, im not that in WH40k, to say the truth, i dont know s**t about it.
but i like the concept of the mod, and as NS player i really look forward to, how the tyrannts will play.

cant wait to crack one of those marine armors!

groovy, nice to see we can still draw people from ooutside of the 40k fold to the mod.

Greetings Brother Marines and Foul Xenos!, I just came from the Battlefield 40k mod forum etc...and one of my friends told me about Rival Species 2!, i myself have Half-Life 2 etc...and i love the warhammer40k universe!.

So hello everyone nice to meet you all!....by the way BF40k is doing IG vs Tau which is going to be interesting!.

(writes overly long drawn out and boring self introduction, reads over it aaaand deletes) sup?

erm... hi? o.O

:D

Howdy all,

Real name is Mike. Like most people here, I'm an avid fan of Warhammer 40 000. I play Necrons as far as tabletop, but I absolutely love the Space Marine lore.

Anyways, I read through the FAQ, and decided to try and earn a place on the dev team. I've been mapping for Half Life since 1999, done a fair share of modeling/animating, etc. I'm currently studying to be an animation major. My animation skills are decent, but limited, as I usually spend my time playing the games I map for.

I have a few map ideas roughed out, and should be ready to be play-testroyed sometime this week. No screens yet.

Till I have something to show,
Reichvier

Welcome aboard, good luck with the maps, if you need any assistance with thigs let us know.

How many people do you have working on maps? Rather, how many maps have made serious progress?

please see this thread:
http://www.40ksource.com/forum/index.php?topic=637.0

goes well, it does not.

Do you have melee in your mod?

Define Melee?

Can you attack enemy players with weapons such as knifes and talons, yes.
Do we have a dedicated system designed to simulate blocks and parrys, no.

I mean really your not parrying a blow from a 12 foot tall alien warmachine, no matter how awesome your father was or how genetically uber you are, or how nifty your armour is.

And what is this weapon?

http://www.alhaus.co.uk/d4.JPG

That would be the inferno pistol and chainsword combo for the veteran class.

Used in combination, it burns, chops and serves 'nids.

they taste like chicken.

Hey Guys,

Not totally new to the RS scene. Once was an alpha tester for RS1 and proud member of Ordo Xenos. One day i got bored and left, shame on me. Then just yesterday I had a feeling that i have to check how all you guys are doing... Its good too see much familiar names from the old times. The game also look promising, can't wait to play the game. It's probably asked a hundred times and the answer is probably in the FAQ (Yeah I know, im still lazy), but when is the game ready to play?

Have a good day, and dont do what I would do :P

Kyranid

PS. Didnt stop loving my heavy bolter, even maried the thing :P

Sadly its done "when its done", or more specifically "when chrome says its done".

Hi Guys,

I used to alpha test RS1 too.  I helped set up one of the first HLDS servers for it.  I did a psychostats theme for it too  :)

Anyway, happy to see the beaky goodness of space marines are alive in RS2, and I LOVE heavy bolters so I am looking forward to the first public release so we can have a go at it.

Keep up the awesome work!!!

Hi People i just wanna say nice work on this mod it's good looking and it'll be awesome keep up the good work ;)

hi all, newbie to RS here,

looks like you are on track,

ive just installed SDK an gonna try out the mod right now.

 ;D

Welcome Corax,

Only the Map Development Kit (http://www.40ksource.com/downloads.php) is public just yet, but feel free to have a play around with it ;)

Hello and good day, been following RS2 since i found it earlier this on ModB and finally decided to join their forums.

Hi im new
thought id patroll around on the forums for a while and see if i cant get into some type of beta or an official release of it .

Beta is in closed testing at this time, please see this thread for general questions on it:

http://www.40ksource.com/forum/index.php?topic=94.0

Hello out there...  I am new (again)...

I don't know how many of you guys remember me (Typheron, Chrome, Bahl, Alhaus, and more), but I played RS 1 a lot back in '04 and '05... long story short, my ISP wouldn't let me play for months, and when I came back there were never populated servers.

So I kind of "drifted away"... sorry about that.  Life happens.

At any rate, I've been following the progress on this mod for a long time, I just wanted to tell you that it looks incredible!  I'm really looking forward to seeing it released!

Keep up the good work!  I hope to see you guys online.

hi i'm new

Well heres the basic rundown. Been playing Dow games for about 5-6 years now.  Winter Assualt, Firestorm over kronus, Dark Crusade, Tyranids Mod, etc. (Never got to play tabletop, no one to play with  :-[ )  I'll admit, i am a big fan of the tyranids. Not of playing as them, but them as an enemy. Few factions amount to more of threat than the Tyranids (Except for an Every-Ork-In-Existance-WAAAGGGGHHH, or E.V.I.E.W). And while i am kinda bummed that we don't get to play as IG (favorite faction) it is a small sacrifice considering i get be play as my favorite space marine chapter! (Next to angry marines)

So yea, thats my hello. I may be a bit late to the party, but am very excited, and can't wait to pick up a bolter and blast some bugs!

Yo man! Welcome to the forums!

The Ultramarines are also my favourite Chapter!  ;D

Hello, I am Mr. Prezident, but you can call me prez.  I have been following the mod on moddb for awhile and I thought I would join the forums, I also plan on trying my hand at map-making, though I'm not very good and even then its been awhile since I have made a map.

Hey! Welcome to the club of map-makers! Make sure you go and see how to set up the SDK to start mzpping!

I got it for the most part, but I can't open the tutorials in HL2:DM because "The system cannot find the specified file", and I am still trying to think of an original map to create.


And also I think I should find a name more suiting for Exterminatus :P

PS. Is there an IRC channel?

Yeah, I've got the same problem at the moment, but I'll fix it in due time... Which file is not found?

Welcome Balistor!

The Exterminatus IRC channel is #rspecies2 on the quakenet network...
Hopefully i'll be back their soon.

Howdy folks, i'm new here, just call me Khamul ( Kuh-mool) or Kham for short.
First off Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Like everyone else here i'm sure, I absolutely love the Dark, Gritty Warhammer 40K Universe, and everything it encompasses. I didn't know about this mod untill I searched "warhammer 40k mod" into Google, sadly enough.

Anyways, I would just like to say I support everything thats going on here, and if theres anything I can do to lend a hand or help out, i'd love to =). Cheers!

Oh, and Black Templars ftw!

Edit: Oh, is there a Steam group for this community? If there is, I would dearly love to join it. =)

My steam acct. alias is VxKhamulxV, same as here on the forums.

Hey everybody, im TZ. Im a big fan of many chapters of space marines, but Space Wolves are me favourite :D Your mods really fun, keep up the good work!

Hi everyone

My name is Megaman ( for friend's Zimone ).
I play from Italy, and i'll wait for more time this awesome mod, very very good job to all.

We wait with eagerly the moment.

Very very tks to all staff.


FOR THE EMPEROR !!!

Welcome! Both of you!

Go ahead and Download the Beta so you can join in on all the fun!  ;D

Hello! I'm new too.

I've always been interested in the Warhamer 40000 universe, but sucked at the RTS games. I really much prefer playing a single soldier so I only have to control my own actions. I'm downloading the open beta now. Hope playing with you soon!

It appears we share a most peculiar likeness.  ;D

hi i'm new




xD

Hello everyone! I'm a new member here and would love to see some servers up. . I've Played Exterminatus for two days now, only managed two games and one server was constantly crashing.

Exterminatus is a really fun mod, I can't wait to see some upgraded content. Hope to see you all in game soon!

Hey, I'm Visorak06.

Lil about me:

I have been an admin on a few Gmod communities in the past several years, and enjoy playing Source Engine games frequently. I am on my own Mod Team for 1187 over at Moddb. I first learned of Exterminatus through Moddb and followed it for half a year or so. Now that the Beta has been released, I'd like to contribute to the forums and community how I can.

Looking forward to EX,

Vis

hej

I'm new and I love playing this mod, its awesome.
If you want to start a game, just msg me on steam:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197983185972/

Me and my friends are up for a game very often! :)

Nice mod, screwed around a bit with the nids when I finally found a person on a server. I'd say the game has a lot of potential!

Add and message me if ya see I'm on and want to play a bit "Krieg Jaeger".

Hi guys im G-MaX, i'm from italy, add me if u want to play!!!

Hello, my ingame name is gen_oneil, and i love Dawn of War 1 and 2, and i really like the Warhammer 40k universe, but i have never played the table top game (although i am working on getting to)

Anyway, i love the mod! its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all.

Just got everything set up for this game and checked the 3 servers from the wiki and no one is on. Is there a set time that people normally start playing in the evenings?

Depends. If you're in my time zone (GMT+1 I think) then I'd say that about 7pm would be a good time to try. On the other hand, most of my playing time is random, I'm not really sure what time it is.
Try in the later evening, maybe.

hi i'm new. My steam name is I_AM_DEAD and I saw the mod and new I had to give it a go.

Hello all!

Marcus here.
Saw the mod on ModDB and instantly realised I had to give it a try, as I love the W40K universe and fluff.
Tried it with some friends, and we all loved it, so we'll all be paying close attention to the game's development progress. ;)

Hey folks!

Just found this on ModDB, and I'm kinda in love  ::)

My username on steam's the same as on here--can't wait to play with everyone!

Hey, I remember seeing a teaser for this mod a few years ago and told myself to check it out.

Well...I finally remembered to do just that, and to my surprise, it's in open beta. 

Got a (mostly unpainted) Tyranid army as well. 

Can't seem to connect to any of the listed servers, though.  Like, I type in connect, put in the IP addy, and it fails after 4 retries. 

Steam name is Hobocop, and I'm down to giving this a shot. 

Hi im Last.Exile, im the Director and Owner of Hypergaming Network ( www.hypergamer.net )

Im going to be putting up a server soon for this mod, so looking to get some players and admins to run her.

Hi, everybody.

I'm from Poland. My steam name is the same as the one here: Knyciu (do not even try saying it, it isn't english-friendly xD). I've found out about Ex2 about two weeks ago, some of you may know me from the servers.

I've been playing WFB Skaven for three years, and WH40k Dark Angels for two years now. Apart from the Dark Angels codex, i've got the 4th and 5th ed. Space Marine codex, the Imperial Guard codex, the big rulebook and some non-tabletop 40k books. I've also read every single 4th/5th ed. codex, including the old Space Wolves and Blood Angels, the Witch Hunters and the Battlesisters ones.

Apart from Exterminatus, i play a lot of Source games, including Team Fortress 2 and mods like Zombie Master (mainly KotSC servers), D.I.P.R.I.P., Empires, Age of Chivalry, Battlegrounds, Dystopia and Source Forts. I always go by the nick Knyciu, so you may know me from these games as well.

I am able to do some modelling if it's necessary, but I think I'd need to warm up a bit, as the last time i modelled something was about half a year ago.

Here's my steam profile link.

Add me if you wanna play.

Hi, I'm new.  Played RS1 a bit back in 2006, before I went to Afghanistan.  It was pretty much defunct when I got back. 

RS2: Exterminatus is pretty cool, although I'm looking forward to seeing more maps with other races (I particularly enjoyed the RS1 map with eldar v. IG).

Sorry to be a bore but there will be no other races, appart from that welcome to the forums.

Yo there, popping round the forums, getting to know the place :) Catch you round soon

Hey, just so you all know, I am still around, just haven't had much to say on the forum and no one else seems to be on the servers when I am xD

theres a 40ksource fangroup out there, find them and they run agames though the steam schedulign service thing. Theres been several over the last few days.

Howdy.

I'll be making a nuisance of myself on these forums, I'm sure.

Gentlemen

Heya, Salamander Marine here.
(p.s I hate Ultrasmurfs  >:( )

Salutations, I am new too, just thought I'd post it here so people won't be like who dis guy? if I post something. Anywho good job on this beta it's shaping up to be something quite great. Would love to see more races though, especially Orks :D

Hello there, I actually played a bit last summer (I believe) but since then my computer died.
I'm up and running now, and looking forward to picking up some games again.
