40K Source

Alpha 9.17 features updated voice work to the spacemarines , chaos space marines and the announcer system and updates to ex_exchange.  A significant bug in the auto-balance system has also been fixed.


The ModDB mirrors unlock at 13:00 GMT, if it's busy or not working the installer can be downloaded from 40ksource.com (http://www.40ksource.com/files/Exterminatus_Alpha_9.17.exe).  Please try the ModDB first.

Please note the patch version can only be used to upgrade from version 9.16 to 9.17.

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 EX alpha, delete it.
• Run the alpha installer and follow it's instructions.
• Restart Steam.  You should now see the Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.

The option to create Desktop shortcut has been added in this week's installer.  This shortcut should launch the EX alpha with Steam Overlay support, but does depend on the Source Multiplayer SDK being installed in the default Steam Library location.  Please let me know how this works out for you.
