DoD: Source Visual Upgrade is a skin pack that replaces All Player, Weapon and HUD skins as well as many sound effects.
DODSVU ver. 1
27 March 2007
ABOUT:
All skins are the default sizes. The only things added were normal map and phong shaders to the v_model weapon skins. Performance-wise, if your computer can run DOD:S, it can run this add-on pack. The DOD Underground is simply a reference to the collection of dedicated modelers, skinners, coders, sound engineers, mappers and even players that work outside the official Valve radar to improve the content of the game. All Player, Weapon and HUD skins have been replaced, as well as many sounds. The goal of this add-on pack is to bring DOD:S to full life WITHOUT affecting performance very much, if at all. All the skins are meant to keep the DOD:S look and feel while at the same time adding a lot more eye-candy and perhaps even a bit more realism. Hi-res textures, hi-poly custom models, skins that do not look similar to the defaults, bumpmaps for often-repeated map textures and models, class based player models - these things have been left out of the main installation file intentionally.
ALTERNATE FILES:
Alternate files are included in ZIP files.
Hi-res 2048x2048 for player and infantry rifles. If your card can handle these they are highly recommended. You will notice the difference in death-cam mode or "ironsight" mode
Hi-poly .30 cal v_model. Exactly the same as the default model, only the the polygon count was significantly increased to make the rounded edges smoother. Uses the default skin. There are a lot of round edges on this model in particular and the 5000+ default polycount just wasn't enough to do a convincing job. This model pushes that count up to 8000+ (the default tiger tank is 10000+) and in my opinion it definitely worth installing if your computer can handle it.
Non-phong shader VMT's. Installing these will prevent your video card from rendering phong shaders. Made for older video cards that cannot handle the new shaders.

many of the reskins are by Wile E Coyote except as annotated below. If their name is listed, some part of that skin is theirs. It would be too difficult to list exact parts. That's what happens when you have a reskin of a reskin of a reskin. Permission for use was obtained by all parties when possible.
