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).
Installer
Zip Archive
(ModDB downloads may take a few hours to be authorised)
- Navigate to the "Tools" section on your Steam games "Library"/

- 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.
