***OCTAVIO*** - Updated FGD
http://bot.clanservers.com/fgd/day%2...t/fdg%20files/

This is a good page, mainly for the Quick Reference Sheet at the bottom. Has Standing/Crouching/Jumping/etc. heights.
http://www.snarkpit.net/snarkpower/a...apping:_Part_1

I realized that the bullet penetration numbers that I have seen posted are a bit out dated, so I took the time to put together a range type map that had over 50+ brushes ranging from 1-50+ units thick each. This way I could test each weapon on a brush varying by 1 unit on each brush. Behind these brushes I made a func_button that triggers a loud sound (obviously reset delay was set to 0 for the button) with 1 health. This tested if something penetrated and dealt 1 or more points of damage it would play a loud sound. Anything less than 1 point of damage was not recorded. Here are the values I got. I have explained the variables below with situations related to penetration (Bullet penetration that is)

VARIABLES:
1: Aiming anything but direct center mass of a brush will lessen the penetration. This is relative to the brush, not your screen.
2: If you stick your weapon right into the wall you may gain some bullet penetration.
3: Tests were done with single brushes. Using 5 single unit brushes spaced by 1 makes the bullet do less than 1 point of damage. Making single unit brushes WITHOUT spaces makes it act as if it were 1 large brush and is subject to my table below so no use in making a bunch of brushes with no spaces.

These values represent the thickness of the brush that bullet WILL penetrate.
Allies:
Pistol------10 units
Carbine-----10
Thompson---10
Greasgun----10
BAR----------19
Garand-----26
30 Cal-------28

A note on the Day of Defeat .fgd: the monster_allied_grunt, monster_axis_grunt and monster_allied_barney are all non-functioning entities in Day of Defeat 1.3
Here's alink to the latest version of dod.fgd: http://files.filefront.com/dodfgd/;1.../fileinfo.html

STARS-FBI · 12-02-2008, 06:58 PM

great nice1 and bump
hope someone could design new maps for dod

SSOMERLOT · 12-02-2008, 10:47 PM

Im actually remaking a map I had once already made. I have lost it in time

It starts off with the Axis trapped in their own underground bunker system fighting their way out up an freight elevator to a radio to call in an artillery strike on the system. Once complete, the map shifts spawns to an above ground map that is mildly wooded with a fuel depot area that the Axis have to defend.

octavio · 12-03-2008, 12:22 AM

I've got an .rmf from DOD beta 1.0 which might be useful. I'll upload it later.

12-03-2008, 03:54 AM

We need to get these maps on the server. Add them to a mapvote!

SSOMERLOT · 01-02-2010, 06:11 PM

Removed 1 site from the list. Vlatitude is no longer live. Haircut, is still updating things on the mardymouse site. I am currently working on a custom map as well.

livewired · 01-03-2010, 03:38 AM

vlatitude.com tutorials are still on archive.org, I`m not sure how long they keep the images so if you want any save them.

Good stuff. I have updated the OP and added another link with a page of prefabs! Im not sure how long it will be up. I have downlaoded the prefabs just in case in the future it goes down.

|B.A.M|The Tank · 01-03-2010, 08:22 PM

My advice, keep bumping this page or contact one of the active (if there are any) moderators from steam to ask for a sticky, moderaters don't really moderate this part of their forums.

SSOMERLOT · 01-12-2010, 08:29 PM

Anyone here have the HK Model pack? Its basically a 100+MB pack of models.

SSOMERLOT · 01-13-2010, 10:15 PM

Updated and added DoDPlugins.net

SSOMERLOT · 01-26-2010, 11:38 PM

Updated the links as I made a dumb mistake in copying them.

02-03-2010, 03:50 PM

Where can you Download Hammer for dod 1.3, I'd like to get it so I can make maps for my DoD Realism unit.
