Ive been thinking of doing a special for remembrance day for a while now, so i thought i would fix up this, one off special for dods.
For me i think this background just says it all, and for me a very moving tribute to the soldiers who have lost the lives in conflict, yesturday and today.
The background works well with great colour and orginality, i belive the monument on the background is taken from normandy in France.
I really liked this picture as soon as i saw it, and i thought it would make a great custom background, and for me it really does.
I made some changes to it as i thought it was little dark, and other changes to the picture so that it could be used as a custom background for dods. Also the menu, the menu when i was previewing it always kept going over the red boarder, so in order to make this work as a nice custom background i had to changed the menu position so that it would fit right with the background, man ow man that realy took some time to reposition the menu, test reposition menu, test and so on, till i got it just right.
Also I took out the Day Of Defeat Source in the menu so that you could see the this great custom background better.
The original picture i didn't make, but what i have done is make this work in DODS. Enjoy my new custom background.
How to install:
Open the Zip file and put the materials folder into your main dod file, follow the path below.
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Myemail\day of defeat source\dod
Do the same for the resource file place the file into your dod folder.
*If you want to still include the Day OF Defeat Source on your menu dont add the resource file, but if you dont include the resourse file the menu will run over into the red boarder.
