Team/Weapon/Desktop/Scoreboard mod

Just for kicks, I made some minor changes to the Team Select menu, Weapon Select menu, scoreboard display (full screen height) and scoreboard font. Thought some others might enjoy them.
In one version, I included a custom DOD desktop too.

To try these out, extract to your:
'x:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\userid@domain.com\day of defeat\dod'
folder. The files will be ultimately installed in a folder named:
'x:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\userid@domain.com\day of defeat\dod\resource' and dod\resource\UI.

If you already have custom desktop and ClientScheme files installed and don't wish to overwrite them, just unselect them from the extract list.

Resource Mod Only (http://home.mchsi.com/~refugeegamers/resmod1.zip)

Note: If you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with this. If you DO know what you're doing, please feel free to modify the menus more (change names of weapons etc.), and repost your improvements. There's nothing sacred about the files. Unless you screw up.

can you post a image of it, so I don't have to go through all the file moveing, just to find out I didn't like it?

The splash screen is way too wierd for me, and has nothing to do with DoD. The VGUI is pretty funny, but again not for me. I personally like the custom VGUI and splash I have now. Nice work though, wish I knew how to do something like that.:rolleyes:

The scoreboard is intentionally out of shape. Made full screen height to display more data.

It's all just meant as an example of what you can do. Just a Sunday afternoon, time to kill, project. I haven't seen very many people messing with these files yet. I didn't spend a lot of time checking everything out, so feel free to make corrections.

I'm hoping people will improve on these files and post their results.

One question, does anyone know how to get the selection numbers back into the team and weapon names so you can use the keyboard also? If you modify the team and weapon names, the select number goes away like so:

***** NVM - I got it figured out *****

ps: no offense intended by the team names.

i know its meant to be out of shape but it looks too out of shape. i dont normally go in 32 man servers anyway so all the data is on the screen but its useful if you do

During searches, I ran across the thread where Trp.Jed made a custom GUI interface. His is way better than my effort. I wish I would have discovered that thread eariler. I know its belated and probably old news to you regulars but, "Nice work Jed".
The thread is here (http://dayofdefeat.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34793&highlight=resource+folder).
