This week's release is version 9.20, a candidate for the final version of Exterminatus.  This version includes a fix for the sniper rifle exploit, terminator jump animations for both the loyalist and chaos terminators and more detailed textures for the drop pod model.  


All changes since version 9.15 have been rolled up into a single set, ready for release.  There is not patch upgrade from 9.19, this requires a fresh install of EX, replacing the last stable build.

Release Candidate 2 was released on Sunday the 18th of November, replacing RC 1 and including some of the features detailed below that should have been included in the first version.

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 Release Candidate

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

The ModDB mirrors unlock at 14:00 GMT, if it's busy or not working the installer can be downloaded from 40ksource.com (http://www.40ksource.com/files/Exterminatus-9.20RC2.exe).  Please try the ModDB first.

Tweaks

• Added detail to the skin of Clay_more's drop pod model.
• Improved the terminator jump animation, blending jumping with the correct aiming pose.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an exploit where the sniper rifle could be use to snap of 2 shots in very quick succession.

Future Plans
Following the release of Alpha 9.19 the contributors that intended to work on the marine player model overhaul notified the rest of the development team that they will not longer be developing new animations, although models using the existing animation set are a possibility.  

Providing no new issues are found in version 9.20, a long-term, stable, version will be released in mid-December.  I plan to discuss with the EX community scheduling future event, so that the mod does no die completely with this release.
