I thought this might be a good place to list what you have done to customize your DoD:S game. List what you have done here so we can all share.

So far I've done the following...

- icons, distressed look
- flags, weathered
- hud with smaller displays
- crosshair package
- victory sounds, very brief in length
- more realistic looking Thompson with authentic sound
- allied skins for all packs
- allied pistol
- axis skin
- leather gloves, actually worn in WWII
- about 30 custom maps

If you are interested in any of the customizing I've listed pm me and I will be happy to help out.

Some key sites to customize your game...

I don't use custom things, it always feels awkward. I tried it for CS:S too, never felt right.

I have:
• A "war torn" B.A.R.
• Tattered flags
• A "Pearl Harbor" Colt, I got it cause it was gold plated and kewl
• A Chrome Thompson (It is teh awesomerz)
• A YIN YANG American knife!!! (My favorite skin)

A new 30 cal. skin with a picture of the guys wife on the inside of the "hatch".

I'm with Y2k on this. I need to play this game for a few months to get comfortable with the normal stuff before I think about new skins. With CS:S, I like getting new skins, but I usually get rid of them after a month or so because I miss the good 'ole default weapons.

All you're doing is changing a look, nothing else. It's nice to have the option to adapt, whether it's in game or not. For instance, I much prefer the custom hud I'm using instead of the stock one, it makes all images smaller therefore freeing up more screen real estate...

Improved shader knife
more realistic hands
distressed Loading screen
Band of Brothers loading up music
Game win music:
.........USA: MC Hammer; You can't touch this..............OOOOOOOOoooooooh yes!
.........German: James Brown; I feel good



I'll probably change around the music and stuff when I get bored, now that I know what to do.

[mike080697]

That's cool, I like. I also noticed the crosshair thing. I can't wait to try it out, thanks.

You are awesome!

[Doc_UK]

Here a how-to BTW.

For win music:
Its simple

Find 2 mp3 files you like, and name them either:
german_win
us_win

Put them both in dod/Sound/Ambient and your good to go! (You may need to create the ambient folder)


For loading music create a "ui" folder in Sound (next to your Ambient) in that folder get your chosen mp3 file and name it "gamestartup1". Now, the game is set up to play 4 start up songs at random so if you have 1 song you want for start up then copy and paste the gamestartup1 file and change its number to 2,3 & 4.
I downloaded a "BoB victory music" file and just renamed the files for start up use (they were >1min and too long and mellow for win music anyway)

Rock On

[Bacon]

I know how it is just your choice of MCHammer is great.

[Fulcrum]

when I start up, I hear shoot to thrill
How do I change my HUD?

[Comet]

Open up the .zip, click on the INsanes Small HUD v 7 Setup.exe, the installer does the rest...enjoy!

Thanks for the help Doc & Langley, I have converted the name and title of the .wav I wanted. I just love the fonky sound man, it's long enough to play through to a new game and when you here "now here we go" your ready to advance...lol!

thanks

[Fulcrum]

the changing of the start up music caused serious problems with my game.

It's a time thing, the length.

[Fulcrum]

and what would you recommend?

[Doc_UK]

Mine are close to 1min and work fine, try trimming the Mp3 to that length.
