Do you customize your DoD:S?

[Alvarez]

Hello Raiders, BAR, et al!

I was searching for any previous threads about models / skins, and they all seemed to take me to issues people were having, rather than their preferences.

Since one of my FAVORITE features of Source games is the endless customization... I'm wondering how many of you customize DoD: Source cosmetically -- New HUD, models, skins, sounds -- And if so, what your setups look like / where you got 'em!

Personally, I've changed everything right down to the text file: Teams are now Marine Raiders vs. Panzergrenadiers, and the classes are named according to the weapon restrictions of the 1st MRB! I use Wile E. Coyote's Official Site for all my skins, since the vast majority of his releases AREN'T featured on GameBanana. He is also one of the most talented guys out there.

In the spirit of my edited text file, The Allies look like this [note that snazzy EGA on the breast pocket!]:

The Axis look like this:

All of my weapons are also Wile E.'s, since I don't like to stray from the original arsenal, and his work really brings out how well done the default models really are.

So, whatcha got, DoDers?

When you are enacted in as a member of the 1st MRB, (Pvt) , you will have access to the Ordnance Office. This is where I hold my job is and this is entirely what I do! I test skins and stuff as well. Seems like you have an interest in skins as well.

Thank you for the high-res screenshot, Captain. Laughter is just what I needed today, Sir, I apprecate it!

Cpl. Xiong, do you make skins as well? I haven't edited since HL Skin Editor back in the day... Would love to get back into it, but I am on a Macbook... Not sure what programs will allow me to edit .vtf files for the Source engine. I'm still pretty new to the Apple revolution, and I'm regretting the switch, to be honest!

I do not happen to make any skins, I do not know how. We do have a few members on here that do know how because the Allied Skins have been edited to have the 1st MRB logos on them. I COULD possibly learn but I'll need some guidance in the right direction. I'll look into it.

and @ Reis....

Want me to shoot yours instead?

yes

Attached is my custom text file that changes the team names, class names, and a few other tidbits. just install into yoursteamname/day of defeat source/dods/resource.

Long story short here, I wanted to feel like I was joining a firefight, not the whole bloody war! Because "Allies" could be anyone from Canada to the USSR, I didn't like that name. And since "Axis" could be Japanese or Italian, same thing. I decided to go for something more specific, and tailored to the 1st MRB. Here are the following major changes...

Allies have been changed to Marine Raiders.

Axis have been changed to Panzergrenadiers.

All classes have been renamed according to 1st MRB weapon restrictions:

Rifleman has been changed to Private / Oberschutze.

Rocket has been changed to Private First Class / Gefreiter.

Assault has been changed to Corporal / Unteroffizier.

Support has been changed to Sergeant / Unterfeldwebel.

Sniper has been changed to Staff Sergeant / Feldwebel.

Machine Gunner has been changed to Gunnery Sergeant / Oberfeldwebel (this change was arbitrary, as weapon restrictions end at Staff Sergeant).

Some flags have been renamed, for example:

First Axis has been changed to First Grenadiers'

First Allied has been changed to First Marines'

etc...

Hope some of you find this minor change worth using in your own DoD:S! If you don't like it, delete it. The game will re-write its own when you join another server.

Very good work and customization! We could DEFINITELY use you in the Ordnance Office once you grad BCTs.

engle, was your childhood okay? is there anything you want to say? don't worry, you're among friends here.

jones did a really great allied skin pack based off of some of wile e coyotes skins, you can download them from the ordnance office (i edited them because i felt the colours were a bit weird, the download is there somewhere but you need to dl jones first). they've got MRB badges, rank and everything (epic as fuck). I also made some skins for the TNT, they're blue with the raider badge on (the skull and stars one). totally non-realistic since i've never seen any blue ww2 explosive ordnance but i thought they were pretty cool at the time!

I use version 9 of Insanes hud/gui mod, a shit ton better than the standard hud (especially if you have a smaller screen like i did for a bit)
