I am pretty sure the manual set up does not include the detail.vbsp for using the DoD detail sprites. To manually make this happen get GCFScape, and browse the Day of Defeat Source Files for the "detail.vbsp" file. Extract this out of the GCF into your day of defeat/dod/ root.

Now when you use certain textures when compiling DoD maps you can get the grass, skybox tree sprites!

:D

I know this sounds confusing, so just ask if you have any questions. I just added them to my field here:

I used the manual config and the sprites worked for me. It was acually a nice suprise, I didn't know you could do that. :)

so i guess this thread is useless then :p
