do you think it would be possible to control which player models get used in a map ?
like for instance tell the map to look into
C:/SIERRA/half life/DoD/models/players/deserttroops/brit-inf.mdl
instead of the usual path.
this way people can either just put theire default brits into that folder or they can download a custom desert rat skin and use it with say dod_tubork

and for each type of map there would be different folders like say snowtroops, foresttroops,

another example :P
C:/SIERRA/half life/DoD/models/players/snowtroops/axis-inf would be used for a snow map

and so on :P

so basically all you mappers deside on the names of these 4 folders and then each time you make a map you deside which you think would go the best for that map etc.

this way we wont have to make 20 different player model folders just 4 or 5 :) and if people dont like custom skins they can just copy and paste theire default players into those folders etc.


if i repeted myself or you dont understand any of this i wont blame you :p im alittle woozie :D ;) :D

maybe when i sober up ill explain better:p

This could be interesting... but i think is not possible.. (maybe i´m wrong.. wish..)

Unfortunately, you can't do this.

:( damn i thought i was on to something :p

Of course that would be possible. Just ask to the dod team to add this feature, update the fgd file, and release a 250Mo dod1.8, in 3 years :D

lol thanx :P

hopfully dod will be remade for HL2 and it will have this feature

yeah DOD's coding stops this, its nothing to do with the mappers. If you search its been expalined properly by em sevral times in mapping modeling and sugestion forums.

i was actually thinking about this lastnite then i realised it wasnt possible but it would be cool.

Skins would be easier, I nattered with Tekkobra about this a while ago (we wanted artic camo skins for the snowy maps).

But as AB said, wait till DOD 2. Don't expect any official desert uniform, since theres no official desert maps ATM.

Excuse my spellings, I've just got back from a gropey party!
