Jed's out of town and asked me to post this. He created (in an astounding 5 minutes) a set of alternate skins which give the players a subtle rougher look.

First, two pictures...

Next a demo movie showing how you get more subtle texture with lights...

1.6Mb AVI - Xvid4 format. Shows the model with normals off and on from both sides.

And lastly the actual file to download (http://www.orst.edu/~holtt/us_normal_map.zip)

pics dont work :(

yay they work now and look good!

They look purty. I'll give 'em a whirl.

Is that a comparison shot?

yes.

Will these run on servers? I know that someone released normal maps for player models, but it won't let you join "pure" servers?

Will this become official in the next release?

Very nice! :) I wonder if we will see Jed style faces on the V2 version?

Looks better. Good work Jed.
I'd reskin these myself by im afraid (much like CSS) there will be constant model updates, pretty much rendering my skins useless.

Nice release jed. These will make me happy.

Oh wow. Very nice.

How's about Axis normal maps? :D

A. - Do these work on most servers? (I really hate to see myself have to ask this question at all...."pure" servers lol....)

B. - Where do i install them on source? Is it

C:/Program Files/ Steam/ STeampowered/ email/ day of defeat source/ dod/ models/ player / allied ???

preettty preeese were to i install! lol

another call for axis maps!

If nobody gets there before me I'll make some tonight... if they turn out nice.

Splinter...you better reskin EVERYTHING! :p

No offence to the devs, it is just you had to think of lowend systems...he doesn't lol.

Alright, lets dont knock on the Devs. Without them, you wouldnt have anything to put your skins on.

I'm sorry, I thought this was the best place to post them in, creating a new thread felt a little over the top.

Maybe this could be split into another thread by a mod?

I'm a mod- there's no need to split this thread. The link you gave to your thread is more than enough.

look great :)

good work
