Alpha 8.12 includes a new map, an updated version of ex_wreckage, some balance adjustments and new tyranid sounds.
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 and Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.
Features- New map ex_m_1 by ChromeAngel. Very early test for layout of the new map.
Balance- Buffed spore mine damage from 30 to 40.
- Removed the spore mine fuse to make them easier to shoot down in-flight. Side effect means it can now be used point-blank.
- Reduced the Biovore's rate of fire and increased it's ammo consumption.
Tweaks- Updated ex_wreckage map by new mapper Straydoom, based on feedback from alpha 8.11.
- New Tyranid Voice command sounds by DontAsk.
- New Warrior and Lictor death sound effects by DontAsk.
- Added more alternative skins to the signpost model.
I am continuing to re-work the chapter packs to cope with Blood Ravens being the new default chapter. Four more chapters are done:
These chapter packs once extracted to your soucemods folder override the marine skins in the EX Beta so
you see all the marine players as using your chosen chapter, Other players will still see the original chapter or whichever chapter pack they have installed. Installing a chapter pack on a dedicated server has no effect.
