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 Alpha listed in your library.

Tweaks
  • Barbed strangler projectiles now do a limited amount of damage before self-destructing.  Controlled by the server setting ex_bs_dmg_limit, which defaults to 56.
  • Barbed strangler projectiles now extra damage when they first latch on to a victim.  Controlled by server setting ex_bs_attach_dmg, which defaults to 21.
  • The pulling strength of Barbed strangler projectiles has been buffed from 30 to 35.
  • Spore mine particle effects have been shrunk to better reflect their area of effect and reduce particle clutter.
  • Plasma weapon effects have been shrunk to better reflect their area of effect.
  • New version of ex_fortress from DontAsk with some aesthetic improvements.

For the Future
  • I want to add keyboard control to new main menu I added in 8.53.  It's a matter of polish.
  • Also working on texturing a prop contributed by Wikkyd.
