This week's release is a map patch for version 9.21, the third release candidate. This patch includes new versions of csm_trench and ex_exchange.
This patch requires version 9.21 AKA
Release Candidate 3.
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 map patch- Download the patch.
- Find your Sourcemods folder (usualy c:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Sourcemods\).
- Extract the contents of the zip file into your Sourcemods folder (this will overwrite the updated maps).
Tweaks- Added team specific triggers to the end bunker doors in csm_trench and changed the door colours to clue newly spawned players as to where they exit to.
- Extended the marketplace in ex_exchange (to make it harder to cap both sides in a short time).
- Gave the loyalist spawn area in ex_exchange the same connectivity as it's chaos counterpart to make it more defensible. Also removed some particularly camping sandbags.
- Moved the first objective for each team in ex_exchange closer to their spawn rooms to make them more defensible.
Balance- Nerfed Knife damage from 28 to 22 (Only on ChromeAngel's server).
Future PlansProviding no new issues are found in version 9.21, a long-term, stable, version will be released in late-December. I plan to discuss with the EX community scheduling future event, so that the mod does no die completely with this release.
