How Do I turn off the dog?
type _ah 0 in console.

Can I use another crosshair?
Yes. We are still trying to figure out some and how they work, but for now type cl_dynamic_xhair 0 in console to make it a small non moving one if you dont like it.
Marzy released the first one (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1357), which is a green dot.
look Here (http://dropzone.fragism.com/1cross.jpg) To see how the new crosshair works. 3.x one on the left, beside it is the 1.0.

How do i get rid of the icons ontop of the players?
Type cl_easymode 0 in console

Will my 3.1 weapon models work in 1.0?
There are reports (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1276) that yes they will work. There are problems with the weapons that have new features added (for example there will not be a buttsmack animation on a 3.1 garand)

Will my 3.1 player models work in 1.0?
No they will need to be converted to work with it. Some guys are already figuring it out. The Compiler has been released so people will be pushing these out.

Will my 3.1 sprites work with 1.0?
Yes. Sprites can be replaced like in the last game. HUD's will need to be edited to work. Look for some player icon releases, and flag icon releases as well.

How come the models have huge fronts in HLMV?
This is because they were purposly distorted because when rendered in halflife, the models are distorted by the engine. 1.0 accounted for that by makign the fronts big, making it look better ingame.

How do i convert a player model to 1.0?
This is being worked on. It may be as simple as changing the animations, or may be harder and involve reassigning vertex's.

What are submodels?
Sub models are smaller model parts that can be put together to form one model. This is all saved in one file to save space.

Why are my FPS so low?
Dod is not a lot more graphically intense. You can lessen the load on your computer by disabling the minimap ("m" key by default, or cl_minimap 0) and by disabling particle effects (cl_particlefx 0 disables everything , cl_particlefx 1 diables weather only, cl_particlefx 2 everything on)

Any other questions you need answered ask away. The DANZ and helpfull MSAers will be happy to help.

Very nice, this should be a sticky.

Well this is not really my forum, but...

sticky :D


/runs

Any info on how to get the transparencies working? I decompiled the sten and recompiled it again and the transparencies didn't work anymore so we probably need a new compiler. Anyone know when we are going to get our hands on it?

SAME thing happened to me. I think we will need a new compiler, or to add a line in the .qc.

Any news on the compiler or how to make it transparent ingame :o

for the love of kittens we need to find out how to set those transparencies

I have a problem

in 3.1 all models have been accessable through the model/players folder

in 1.0 there are only a few -> rifleclass for basic and para mode. the other models I assume to be compiled in another file.

where is this file and how do I decompile them?

all the models are in thousgh files they have sub models for the other classes

and how do I access them? - I tried with HL view but I've only been able to get rifleclass.

CLICK the BODY tab, then choose submodels.


UPDATED with transparency and new compiler stuff.

Just a small quick question. Which program is more easy to learn with? Milkshape or 3DS?

Or is there another that might be easier to learn for modelling 'newbies'

Milkshape is the more simple one. 3DSM takes like years to learn with profesional courses and stuff.

I tried to edit the default models with MS3D and now I cannot get them to recompile with studiomdl. The only thing I changed was the gear placement on the Stg 44 gunner. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

the QC is probalaly wack.
compile with DOS:
CD c:/axis-inf
studiomdl.exe axis-inf.qc

Thanks Danza.
I got one more for you, how do I edit the weapon origins? Thanks again.

the studioml program doesnt even open

Erm how about

Where can i find dod map models for 1.0??
i need lots!!

Q: How can i save from .max to .smd?
A : Go to Maxplugins - plugin to 3dsmax from Valve (http://www.maxplugins.de/max5.php?range=Import%20/%20Export) and now you can export to .smd . And its free. Great! :D

bump i guess

how can you use the studiomdl.exe i click on but it doesn't even do anything.
