ever want to change the look of your characters? ever want some more gore when you unload a clip into an opposing player? How about getting rid of that annoying shield on the german rocket? well here is how you do it.

START
Note: This is a simple guide for beginners and does not go too in depth into download misc files and props and what not.

First off, you will need to download Winrar, find it at www.rarlabs.com Or just google "Winrar" and plenty of links should come up. Download and install it.

Second, go to the "My Documents" folder on your computer and make a folder called "DOD Skins"

DOWNLOADING SKINS
Now go to the skins tab at [link=hyperlink url]fpsbanana.com[/link] . Click on DOD:S and then choose the gun (or player skin) you want. Next, go down to the "download" link and download the skin to the "DOD skins" folder you created earlier.

INSTALLING WEAPON SKINS
Now that you have your skin downloaded, go to your "DOD Skins" folder and open the skin folder you downloaded. (If its an .rar file your Winrar program you downloaded should open it. If not, you installed it wrong or there was a problem during the installation) Now extract the file(s) out of the ziped or rar file to your "My Documents/DOD Skins" folder. The contents in the folder should be something like "dod, or sounds, matrials, models, etc". Once downloaded, highlight the extracted files and choose 'cut'. Now, go to the start menu and "My Computer/program files/valve (or steam, where ever your steam files are in)/steam/steamApps/(your account name)/day of defeat source/dod" And dump all the files in there.

Note: If the file name is 'dod' that was in the compressed (zip or rar) file, then just put it in the counter strike source folder (after your account name)

Now your weapon skin/model should work! Check it out in game and have fun!

INSTALLING PLAYER SKINS
Now that you have your player skin downloaded, follow the instructions above. But if the file that was in the player skin downloaded says (for example) ct_urban or t_arctic then you will need to 'cut' the folder that says (for example) ct_sas and paste it to your "My Computer/program files/valve (or steam, where ever your steam game files are in)/steamApps/(your account name)/dod/materials/models/player" folder and paste the extracted skin folder in there. Now your player skins should work!

NOTE: IF YOU PASTE INTO YOUR DOD FOLDER, NEVER REPLACE FILES IF IT ASKS YOU. FOR EXAMPLE DO NOT REPLACE YOUR MATERIALS FOLDER.
 
very informational man, ive been using skins for all my steam games from fpsbanana and they kick. they totally maximize sex appeal of my weapons ..woot.woot

heres the panzershrek w/o the shield

i now feel more comfortable without that huge ass shield in my way

and to tell you guys the truth, its not hard at all. you can use winzip and simply extract all the files into your dod file and copy and paste. it doesnt repleace your folders, although it seems like its going to when it gives you the pop up, it doesnt.
