    Alpha 8.43 features new sky boxes, sounds, models, updated maps, improved code and bug fixes.  I am particularly looking for feedback on the new sound effects contributed by DontAsk4470.


The ModDB mirrors unlock at 13:00 GMT, if it's busy or not working the installer can be downloaded from 40ksource.com.  Please try the ModDB first.

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 8.38 and Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.

Features
  • New skybox added to ex_city_conflict thanks to DontAsk4470.
  • ex_valley also has a new skybox thanks to DontAsk4470.
  • Objective capture are now reported with the death notices.
  • DontAsk4470 has contributed 4 other custom skyboxes that are included in thus alpha but not used by any maps yet.
  • New ruined wall prop for ex_valley.

Tweaks
  • Cloaking shader has been tweaked to prevent popping at the end of a transition.
  • Fixed alignment of hint text.
  • Alternative Chainsword sound effects from DontAsk4470.
  • Alternative Powersword sound effects from DontAsk4470.
  • Alternative Tarantula sound effects from DontAsk4470.
  • A smaller version of Cyberman's flying buttress prop for use on ex_valley, with 4 texture variations.

Bug fixes
  • Restored the missing Tactical Overview (bound to F1 by default).

Work has been started on new and improved map assets to improve the look, sound and general atmosphere of the maps in accordance with the plan.
