J.D. WHO DAT - Posted Dec 12th

�

You must learn how to open your scope on an oppenent and shoot and close scope.

As a sniper you should never kneel (NEVER) your just a sitting duck when your like that.

Learn to quickswitch or use right click (open and close scope quickly)

For quick switching go into: Options----->Then click advanced just make sure the check is in the box that says: Fast switch.

�

Or you can use what i prefer----->Options.....Multiplayer....Click advanced...make sure this option is UNCHECKED----> Deployed weapons will redeploy after firing a deployed shot. Now what this option does for you is it allows you to close your scope immediately after you shoot by right clicking. You wont be left out in the open waiting for you scope to auto close for you.

Many people die because they do not use these option

Martini give these a shot, 1 of these options will be right for you and WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER SNIPER.

If someone has no idea what I am talking about in this post then post and i will explain it better to you.

How to Download and Install DoD:s Maps

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:41:14 GMT

Here is the file path where your downloaded and extracted DoD:s maps should go:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Your_Username\day of defeat source\dod\maps

1. Once you have downloaded the map file, you may need to extract or unzip the map. I suggest extracting it to your desktop so it is easy to find. You may need to have WinZIP or Win RAR installed on your computer to extract the "zipped" map file.

http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm

http://www.rarlab.com/

2. After you have extracted or unzipped the map file, copy and paste it inside the maps directory:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Your_Username\day of defeat source\dod\maps

3. When the copy finishes your map has been installed and you should be able to join the server.

4. Maps for scrims are most ALWAYS found in the "Maps and Downloads" section of the HBS Homepage.

Fixing Corrupted Windows Seven Files

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 13:43:36 GMT

Recently, I noticed one of my "Gadgets" had disappeared from my desktop list. It turned out that there were some corrupted Windows 7 system files that were the culprit. Here is how to check for them and fix them automatically:

To repair the damaged Windows System files while Windows is running, follow these steps:

1. Login as Administrator of your PC.

2. Click Start –> All Programs –> Accessories–> right-click on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator”.

3. Now Type sfc /scannow in the command prompt and hit enter (refer below snapshot).

4. Windows will now scan for damaged system files and verifies it’s integrity.

5. Wait till the scan is 100% complete. During the process it fixes most of damaged files. Windows may prompt for Windows Installation CD/DVD to copy original files. Accordingly, insert the installation CD.

Reboot may be necessary after the process.

Not all SSDs are Created Equal

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:35:42 GMT

Here is a link to a sound discussion on the attributes of a good Solid State Drive (SSD) and what to look for before buying one. The previous article to this follow up article is a good one as well.

the followup article:

the original article link:

I think I will be waiting until the technology matures a bit more, capacities go up to at least to the 256GB level and for more reasonable prices before I spend my money on one of these. They are the wave of the future for fast systems though.

Another Way to Cycle Netgraph

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 02:14:13 GMT

The cvar incrementvar can now cycle through the netgraph command displays much easier than before. This is a much more compact and efficient way to cycle commands.

//netgraph bind

bind "n" "incrementvar net_graph 0 3 1"

Uberslap command

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 19:26:56 GMT

To slap player with nice trick "uberslap" put this command !uberslap "name of victim" "1 - 100"

1-100 is how much life you want leave him to survive Uberslap.

TNT

Wed, 20 May 2009 02:06:53 GMT

Planting the pack
The player moves close to a surface and plants the TNT where his crosshairs point.
After five seconds, the pack self-primes. This is so that if FF is ON, the player does not explode the pack as he moves away.
The plugin can track up to 10 packs per player. (It can go up to 127, but a limit has been set for now) Number of packs are set by a cvar.

Detonating the pack
If any player touches/walks over/jumps on the TNT pack, it will explode.

If a grenade lands nearby, the pack will detonate.

If a bullet hits it, it will explode.

Alternatively, the TNT can be detonated remotely by the planter in three modes (determined by a cvar):
0: all the player's packs detonate at once
1: packs can be exploded individually by line of sight - the player points his crosshairs at the bomb and detonates the pack. This is the hardest method of detonation.
2: packs explode after a certain number of seconds - in a way similar to existing DoD TNT except the timer can be set by the server op

Defusing the pack
Any player can defuse another player's pack. They then get it added to their own inventory.

COMMANDS
sm_plant: plant the pack
sm_defuse: defuse the pack
sm_det: detonate the pack

Problems Downloading Maps???

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 13:16:54 GMT

With the fast and furious number of Steam updates recently out for DOD:s there have been some changes that may have affected your ability to download maps that you don't have from the server. To check your DoD:s settings do this:

1. Launch DoD:S

2. Select Options (on the left of the Main Menu)

3. Select the Multiplayer tab.

4. At the lower right of the new window, select "Allow all custom files from server" in the scroll-select window.

5. Restart DoD:s

This should now allow any map downloads to ocuur for which you do not have the current server map. If the server you are joining has "Fast Downloads" enabled from a separate IP address your download will be pretty fast for the map, otherwise the download speed will be very slow.

Where does the autoexec.cfg file go???

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:10:57 GMT

It needs to be in this file path:

\Steam\SteamApps\\day of defeat source\dod\cfg

and inside of the cfg folder. The file is a simple text file generated in notepad named: autoexec.cfg

The file will automatically run every time DoD:s is started.

Where to put map files

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:43:44 GMT

First extract the .rar files into a new folder, then copy them into the maps folder here:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Your_Username\day of defeat source\dod\maps
