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:

61516253ke4.jpg

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?

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.

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)

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
