40K Source

I had been hoping to release a Beta this week, but there was just too many bugs reported after the 7.99 alpha test.  This week i've been adjusting a large number of the EX maps to try and prevent exploits where leaping players can see outside the map.  Due to a large number of map updates and nearness to a new Beta version this weeks ZIP file will is a full install, rather than a patch.

Thanks to Adam AKA Diablo and Chris AKA Commissar Valvatorez for there screenshots of map glitches (over 70 screenshots in total).


Full Download 8.00

• 40ksource.com installer (http://www.40ksource.com/files/Exterminatus_Alpha_8.00.exe)

Install the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer

• Navigate to the "Tools" section on your Steam games "Library"/
• Install the "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer"
• Run the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer at least once.
• You can exit once the menu has finished loading.

Install the latest Exterminatus Alpha

• If you already have a copy of the EX alpha, delete it.
• Run the alpha installer and follow it's instructions.
• Restart Steam.  You should now see both the Exterminatus Beta 7.5 and Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.

Tweaks

• Treat flamer deaths the same as Melta deaths for ragdolling.
• Added Statue props to City Conflict and Lycantium.
• Added a button controlled door to the vent on Orbital to slow down players using that short cut.
• Added an extra level of detail to one of the bronze forgeworld panel props (the one with two tanks).

Balance

• Nerfed the rate at which the Meltgun does damage.
• Nerfed Lictor talon damage from 66 to 50.

Bugfixes

• Attempted to fix a client crash during connection (physics code, possibly ragdioll related).  I would need to see more player's DMP files to determine if this is the only case.
• Prevent Leaping players from seeing out of the map on Thunderhawk, Tarsis Ultra, Ichar IV, Valley and Lycantium.
• Fixed the "dead HUD" not showing the correct mission when first connecting to a server.
