Well this mod basically replaces all Visual for DOD:S super handy mod Enjoy...

Description:
DoD: Source Visual Upgrade is a skin pack that replaces All Player, Weapon and HUD skins as well as many sound effects. The goal of this add-on pack is to bring DOD:S to full life without affecting performance very much, if at all. All the skins are meant to keep the DOD:S look and feel while at the same time adding a lot more eye-candy and perhaps even a bit more realism.

about:
All skins are the default sizes. The only things added were normal map and phong shaders to the v_model weapon skins. Performance-wise, if your computer can run DOD:S, it can run this add-on pack. The DOD Underground is simply a reference to the collection of dedicated modelers, skinners, coders, sound engineers, mappers and even players that work outside the official Valve radar to improve the content of the game. All Player, Weapon and HUD skins have been replaced, as well as many sounds. The goal of this add-on pack is to bring DOD:S to full life WITHOUT affecting performance very much, if at all. All the skins are meant to keep the DOD:S look and feel while at the same time adding a lot more eye-candy and perhaps even a bit more realism. Hi-res textures, hi-poly custom models, skins that do not look similar to the defaults, bumpmaps for often-repeated map textures and models, class based player models - these things have been left out of the main installation file intentionally.

ALTERNATE FILES:

Alternate files are included in ZIP files.

Hi-res 2048x2048 for player and infantry rifles. If your card can handle these they are highly recommended. You will notice the difference in death-cam mode or "ironsight" mode

Hi-poly .30 cal v_model. Exactly the same as the default model, only the the polygon count was significantly increased to make the rounded edges smoother. Uses the default skin. There are a lot of round edges on this model in particular and the 5000+ default polycount just wasn't enough to do a convincing job. This model pushes that count up to 8000+ (the default tiger tank is 10000+) and in my opinion it definitely worth installing if your computer can handle it.

Non-phong shader VMT's. Installing these will prevent your video card from rendering phong shaders. Made for older video cards that cannot handle the new shaders.

WOW. This looks nice. Gonna test this tomorrow, switch it out for my current upgrade pack.
 
Had this one for a while now, its a great pack and will change the game completely for you, in a great way that is.
 
yea...i had this a while back...it was cool...but i have to say..the original overall is better...you can pick and choose what you want to install using thing...i would suggest you install all the uniforms and weapon mods and all that...but the sounds arent very good...i wouldnt uninstall the sounds....and also...as i installed everything...in-game...it would not let me see who the spectators were when you pressed tab...so for admins this could be bad...also the acheivements screen is also blanked out...you see the picture of the acheivement but not the words or description or anything...also the allies flag is the current american flag if i remember right...only when you are directly looking at a flag your team has....it is still the green star symbol on the top left of the screen that tells you who has what flag...just a few tid bits and a heads up I thought could help you decide on what you wanted to actually use or not...
 
this is a great all in one package but if you go to fpsbanana.com they have all the "hi-res" skins available for download but you have to do them individually its a great upgrade i used it when i first started playing dod :-) fully endorse
 
Some things i like, some i do not. I cannot see specs anymore. And the chat i can get used to it small. But i need to see the specs.

Just go to the DOD folder and use the uninstall though. I am adjusting it now.

ps. dont use the sounds they suck
ps. to fix the chat thing go to

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamehere\day of defeat source\dod\resource\UI

and delete the BaseChat.RES file

And if you cant go into spec dont install the hud.

Is there a chance to get a screenshot of what it looks like, especially with the chat box and who killed who



TAZ
 
i installed it w/o the sounds and the icons above player's heads do not adjust with distance and thats annoying. Also, you cant see your acheivment list. And i would not recommend the HUD. But thats my opinion.
 
Ok thru trial and error i found this pack to be AMAZING if you install it with ONLY flags, player, and weapon models. This makes the game look fantastic w/o ruining your achievment screen, player icons, music, sounds and the hud. this is my personal opinion, but if you just want the game to look better w/o really changing it, this is your best bet.
 
downloading now will test our shortly!

NOW GET onto sniper server!
