Here should be where you put your custom stuff to get it to work

Player skins:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/models/player (player folder e.g. German)

Player models:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/models/player

Weapon skins:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/models/weapons/(v_models or w_models)

Weapon models:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/models/weapons/(respective weapon folder e.g. 'garand')

Objective Icons:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/sprites/obj_icons

Thanks to Wulf for adding Objective Icons

I've found with my player model skins you also need to put an extra copy into the

valve/SteamApps/(Username)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/

Folder or for some reason you get this crazy ass purple and black striped thing happening.

what catagorie would hand skins fall into on this ska?

Some more for ya Ska...

Splash Screen:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/Console

Player Icons:
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/sprites/player_icons

Sniper Scopes (if anyone can figure out how to ge the transparency to work):
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/sprites/scopes

Crosshairs (again, figuring transparency needed):
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/vgui/crosshairs

Hope those are of some use... I've managed to get both crosshairs and scopes to register in DoD:S, but haven't been able to get the transparency working yet...

i am putting the v and w models in the folder you are saying to put them in but it is not working...wtf mate

I don't know if its for ALL weapon models but my k98 and k98scoped re-skin model went in to dod\materials\models\weapons\

instead of just dod\models.

As far as objective icons go, you need to add a subfolder into the sprites folder to get them to work.

It should read:-

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\youremail@.com\day of defeat source\dod\materials\sprites\obj_icons ;)

Updated yer initial post to reflect this, Ska m8. :cool:

I have been looking in the materials folder for a few hours now and cant find any model files or anything do yall know where they could be or anything about it?

IM GET REALLY FRUSTRATED!!:mad:

I cannot find those folders either.....
I can go til here:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\youremail@.com\day of defeat source\dod\materials\

Theres nothing else there, but the folders called temp and VGUI.
Am i missing something here?....its pretty obvious that i am missing something...so the question is actually...what am i missing?




:confused:

gonna have to Make them

the game is getting them from the gcf, if you want to use them then you need to make the folder in the "usable folders".

Can someone PM me a list of the full materials and models directory, I'll try and get up a basic empty folder network just so people can know where to put things.

i have the same problem, o do i just make folder called models, player and so on?

I need help..

How do you create the folder for player skins?? Im not much of a computer person so how do you do it?

Your allied skin directory where you put the skin should look like this:

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\YOURUSERNAME\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\player\american


Your axis like this:

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\YOURUSERNAME\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\player\german

Put the skins in those respective folders.

If you don't have a folder in that string, then you have to create it.

Hope that helps some.

not really I was hoping how to create the player folder can ya tell me that?

The inner right button on the Browse menu is "Create New Folder".

right click in the last one you have and name it as posted, and keep going

What about for sounds?

Maybe someone could make a zip with the folders already in it?

that may be a lot to ask but it would be helpful.

Generally speaking it is:

\Steam\SteamApps\YOURACCOUNT\day of defeat source\dod\sound

But in that folder can be many sub-folders depending on what the sound is. I have an admin_plugin folder, misc and a few with the names of custom maps I have downloaded.

Most custom sounds and skins will show you some sort of file structure in the zip that you should be able to follow. If you are making or using your own you have found, try downloading a custom one that does the same thing, look where it goes and overwrite it.

I have downloaded the nedwef gun and have placed it in :C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\emailadd\day of defeat source\dod\models\props_ordnance
and can see it in hammer and in game but its a purple checkered colour, i have also placed the materials folder that came with it in :C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\emailadd\day of defeat source\dod\materials\props_ordnance. what am i doing wrong chaps....:confused:

you missed the "models" in the second path. it must be:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\emailadd\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\props_ordnance

it's a little confusing, i know ;)
but actually it makes sense. in the materials folder are all materials (level textures, sprites/icons and model textures) so they threw all the model textures in a separate folder inside materials folder.

Thankyou for the quick reply it was spot on:)

Sorry if this is considered bumping, I wasn't sure whether to put this in the requests or this topic. I'm having a problem installing gun skins, and the main question is, am I doing it right? or does it have something else to do with it?

I recently downloaded the new springfield model by Gen & PR0PEN, I put it into "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\MYNAME\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\weapons\v_models\sprin gfield"
or that with a "\materials" & "\models" folders at the end for the materials and models it came with. I've tried a lot of things to change it. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

It's also with the skins, but maybe it was because I put them in the wrong folder anyhow.
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\MYNAME\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\player\american"
Is that right?

Please excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

:confused:

Yes thats as far as you can go. Unlike DoD the files are locked in the GCF files and not extracted into you game folder. all you have to do i simply create the respective folder so say i wanted to add a player model this means i would have to create the files my self making a FILE STRUCTURE
eg..
steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/models/player <--(german or allie)
If your worried about the file structure you can download a niffty little program called GFScape.With this you can open up the GCF file to DoD:S and have a look at the file structure youself so you can workout where things go. :D :D :D

Di@blos

Where do you put flag mdls?

I've put the skins in the appropriate place, I made the folders and did all that junk and my skins still don't show up.

Anyone please help me with this.

Skins were put in the following place:

C:Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/MY EMAIL/day of defeat source/dod/materials/models/player/american

Should I change the american to allied or allie?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

No, american is correct.

LoL ya, figured that out. I had them in the right place, just not all the files. Was missing a file from there and that's why they weren't showing up. Thanks for the help.

can someone please post the EXACT folder adresses?
:C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\emailadd\day of defeat source\

i know that bit


but the weapons part


weapons/garand/v_model(S)`?
weapons/v_model(s)/garand ?

weapons/garand/v_model
weapons/garand/w_model

???


sorry i got to have it fed to me in tiny spoons :P



please someone write the correct folder lines
with the / and all after the emailaddy thing


plz? ;)

ive gotten it to work but not without putting the files every blasted folder
and variations hehe ... dont know what is correct
and its tiring to put it 324523 files in 32453423 folders

and if you could do it exact with the other models and skins and such
that would be great ...

so i dont fill my dod folder with debris ...

Okay, So would I have to make the folder "american" into the player's folder?.Also if not,



This is what I have in that folder right now
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\anthony21\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\player\ics

and in that folder there are files called "Allied_admin,ligs_allied, Axis_admin,ligs_axis" and I have no idea where they came from

Would someone help me?

thank you for youre time..

Sorry for the double post,but this is urgent.
Is there any one insinificly that could help me with the Problem that I had above?..


Oh also ive deleted all "model files" in my materiels....yet the Defult model's are still there...and I deleted them at that

the default model files are hidden in a GCF file - you cannot ever erase them.

The "extra" folder you are seeing are from custom-made skins where the creator choose to use a custom folder. For instance, I now put all my files in a folder called "wile".

The normal path would be:

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\*****\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\player\american
for the allies and

.....\materials\models\player\german
for the axis.

(*****= your steam account name)

Allright, I did all of that and for some reason it's still not showing the "custom" models or skins..

Anyone know how I can use a .rar file?

All the custom content I got so far has been zip files that I can just drag to the right location. but other downloads are .rar files only.

You can use WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/) or TUGZip (http://www.tugzip.com/)

TUGZip is free..WinRAR is shareware.


By the way, here is an entire list of where things go, for those who need it. DoDCC (http://www.dodcc.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=11)

How 'bout you try telling us exactly what skin it is you are trying to install?Originally posted by {ASG}ANTHONY
Allright, I did all of that and for some reason it's still not showing the "custom" models or skins..

It is called the "ltspiersSkin" for the allied troops.

(Ambient sounds are sounds such as win round music, distant battle sounds, wind, etc.)

When installing models, skins, sprites, etc. to a folder that you dont have, just right click and make a new folder in the last folder you do have. The folder you make should be labled accordinaly.

* v_models and w_models folder names for specific guns (v_model is the weapon you see in first person view. The w_model is the weapon you see in other player's hands and on the ground).

I dunno if this is the right place to post this but when I tried to install a custom skin I put it in the

steam/steam apps/(e-mail addy)/day of defeat source/dod/materials/models/player/american

folder and all that happened was the models became very shiney but there was no change. The hand models worked but I just cannot figure out the actual player skin.

link is http://dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62991

Just use the vtf files, not the vmt files.

I tried that and got the same problem(sorry, im hopeless when it comes to computers:(). here is a screenie of it

Ahh yes, silver models ...and you're positive you deleted ALL the vmt files?

Did you delete the normal vtf files too? (Sorry, forgot to mention the normals too.)

no i didn't. In the materials\models\player\american folder there is american_body_normal(VTF file)
american_gear_normal(VTF file)
Valve Face (folder) containing american_body(VTF file)

so should i delete both american_body_normal and american_gear_normal??

Yep.

Does it really matter which type of file you download when you download skins such as .zip or .rar? And i am having trouble getting mine to work, I put them in where you told me but no luck :(

A zip or rar is simply how the files are packed/compressed. A rar is usually smaller.

What skins are you having trouble with?

I am trying to get my kar98 skins to work, but i put them where you guys told me and they do not work

I am trying to get my kar98 skins to work, but i put them where you guys told me and they do not work

You've unrared or unzipped them first, right?

yes, then what?

unrared them how do u do that?

Well. which skins are you having issues with? I can tell you where they go.

My kar98 skins, they are rar and idk wat unraring them is but i have them opening up with hl2 and i put them in the weapons v_models folder and it doesnt work

My kar98 skins, they are rar and idk wat unraring them is but i have them opening up with hl2 and i put them in the weapons v_models folder and it doesnt workBy unraring or unzipping, I meant extracting. Link me to the k98 you're talking about and I'll try to help you.

http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/12383, there it says its a rar but i put it where its supposed to be and it doesnt work

Just extract all the files to your dod folder and it should put them where they need to go. Also, and this is just my opinion..but that's a cheat model.

and if you dont have winrar to extract the rar files, go to their site here : http://www.rarlab.com/ and download it.

It's not really a cheat. CHEAP, yes; but compared to some of the "legal" things that are actually allowed.... the advantage this might give you pales in comparison. Okay let's get back on-topic ;)

Idk wats wrong with this but i downloaded that thing and still doesnt work, should I download skins from another site? Do you know any good websites for skins?
