I've decided to try and polish EX up a bit more, so there will be a few more alpha builds over the next few weeks.  I'm hoping to reach some kind of solid foundation for a version 1 release later this year.  This patch is aimed at the larger issues reported in Beta 7.50 , while trying not to change too many things at once (it makes it hard to see exactly what change is having what effect).

Installation instructions

• If you already have a copy of the EX alpha, delete it.
• If you don't already have Beta 7.5 download and install it as normal. 
• Copy the sourcemods/ex folder containing beta 7.5 to sourcemods/ex_alpha (so you can still play the beta version too).
• Extract the 7.51 patch to your sourcemods folder ( they should overwrite files in the ex_alpha folder ).
• Restart Steam.  You should now see both the Exterminatus Beta 7.5 and Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the powerfist range being too short.
• Fixed Stormbolters being Uber accurate.

Tweaks

• Reverted the Venom Cannon to automatic reloading, with a lower ROF, increased the damage to 100 (25 direct, 75 splash).
• Scaled up the Rhino prop by 20%

Balance

• Buffed Lictor talon range from 192 to 200.
• Buffed flamer damage from 15 to 17.
• Buffed chainsowrd and powersword attack speed by 20%.

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).

Continuing my series of recent chapter packs I would like to present you with the new Dark Angels chapter skin pack.


I don't want to steal thunder from Nqss skin pack for the DAs, but this version does not have the Games Workshop copyright issues that his pack does.

After Action Report 7.51
Powerfist was better, Stormbolter was now too inaccurate. 

Venom Cannon needs to hit harder and have a bigger splash (needs some tuning). 

Scaling up the Rhino broke Tarsis_ultra (radar dish objective became inaccessible.

Lictor talons were fine.

Flamer was still a little weak, were going to try 20 damage per flame next time.

Chainsword and Powersword seemed fine.


Scheduled an extra test for Tuesday due to poor attendance on Saturday.

good work bringing some much requested changes into this patch.

keep in mind we could have some problems if you overbuff flamer damage, beasts with bigger hitboxes might get killed too fast by it while the small ones get away.
