Alpha 8.56 features a selection of tweaks to the Barbed Stranger weapon, Spore Mine and Plasma particle effects and the map ex_fortress.
The ModDB mirrors unlock at 16:00 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 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.
