The files are free, but it is nice that you give Anssi Hyytiäinen credit if you use them for your own game project and release it for the public.
I have older DoD files from Anssi Hyytiäinen, former DoD map designer, after talking with him, and was given permition to release the files for the public.
Various level parts, test maps, .bsp and .map files, sounds, textures among others, are included... Ben Glover release has different files in it.
I'm done with checking textures, models etc for duplicates, compared to Toadeater dod demo. For example, they are a few terrain textures in Anssi release, which are not in Toadeater demo. In Ben Glover, which i released already, they are terrain textures which are not the same with Anssi. Make a .qrk file if you want with the files that has the same name ,but they are different in content, so you do not have to overwrite other files. If you will find empty folders, is because i didn't delete them, was nothing in them.
In the archive you have .bak file wich is a backup file.
.prt file is a model format it seems, but usualy is made along with the .bsp and you don't need it when you distribute your files.
The .bsp files, can be opened by Quark editor, but the arhitecture (poly) of the .bsp file cannot be modified by Quark.
.map files can be opened and modified in Quark editor.
arghrad.exe is used with Quark for .bsp making of the final level you make, beside other files.
autoexec.cfg and anssi.cfg are other .cfg files.
bspinfo3.exe :
“bspinfo3.exe = Dumps information on a bsp file.”

.ico is a DoD icon file
“demos” folder have .dm2 demo files in it, which can be opened by programs that can see Quake 2 demo files. Or play them by ingame console.
“Instead of placing a downloaded demo in the baseq2/demos folder, and typing 'demoname.dm2' in the console without quotes, Demoplay makes it easier to play demos from any location just by doubbleclicking the .dm2 file. Plus it has playback options like fastforward, pause and slowmotion.“

Downloaded... and checking files now! Great Score!
Remember everyone, many are parts, tests. But you can learn how a game is made. It is a mod of course, but it is made like a game, with dialogs, textures etc.
Any problems, ask me and EricBoyceU.
