Day of Defeat: Source

This page details development materials of Day of Defeat: Source.

How about a nice leek in this trying time?

'This page or section details content from theSource Developer Asset Repository leaks.'''

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Specifically: Overhead map previews, more screenshots where possible and compare dod_flash_dark to the regular dod_flash. See the talk page for information about compiling the maps with era-accurate lighting.

The Source Developer Asset Repository is a repo full of all manner of unused/early content for many Source Engine games, including Day of Defeat: Source. For someone to have gained to the repository, one must obtain a license from Valve Software at the cost of $2,500 after your project was approved for licensing and sign a non-disclosure agreement. Despite the NDA requirement and fee, many files from the repository have been leaked online over the years, with the entire repository leaking in January of 2023, showcasing the many cut maps from the game's lifetime.

maps#

Summary#

The 2023 asset leak contains several maps were cut over the course of development.

To do:

Unused visgroups for used maps.
VMF file sizes.

File	In-Game?	NET Date	Description
goldsrc
└─ dod_anzio	✗	June 1, 2005	A original game's version of dod_anzio, with some modifications. Formatted for GoldSrc rather than Source.
└─ dod_avalanche	✗	June 1, 2005	The original game's version of dod_avalanche, with some modifications. Formatted for GoldSrc rather than Source.
└─ dod_donner	✗	June 1, 2005	The original game's version of dod_donner, with some modifications. Formatted for GoldSrc rather than Source.
└─ dod_flash	✗	June 1, 2005	The original game's version of dod_flash, with some modifications. Formatted for GoldSrc rather than Source.

bottest	✗	October 7, 2005	Presumably meant to test bot support. Maybe Counter-Strike: Source's bots were going to be converted for use in this game?
box	✗	April 5, 2004	A simple box map.
detailtest	✗	April 30, 2005	A map with a small hill, intended to test the automatic foliage sprites generated on displacement geometry at compile time (known internally as "detail props").
dod_alpine	✗	December 1, 2005	A mostly completed map set in the Alpine Mountains. It has three neutral capture points in an east-to-west line in the middle of the map (crossroads, cabin, and hut), with the Axis and Allied spawns to the north and south, respectively. The map is mostly properly textured except for an large orange tower near crossroads and a brushwork B-17 in the 3D skybox in a hidden VisGroup, although the lack of snow on anything except the trees suggests that it still had yet to undergo a final art pass. The barbed wire props lack any collision, and there is no protection against spawn camping (both teams can access the enemy team's spawn locations).
dod_anzio	✓	May 19, 2009
dod_anzio_ik	✗	May 17, 2005	Early version of dod_anzio. "ik" stands for Iikka Keranen, a Valve employee who worked on the map.
dod_anzio_ik2	✗	May 17, 2005	Another early version of dod_anzio.
dod_anzio_jc	✗	May 17, 2005	Ditto. "jc" stands for John Cook, another Valve employee who also worked on the map.
dod_anzio_merge	✗	May 17, 2005	A map meant to merge the _jc and _ik versions of dod_anzio into one map. This was eventually turned into the final game's dod_anzio.
dod_argentan	✓	November 13, 2007
dod_argentan_ld03	✗	October 5, 2005	An early version of dod_argentan. "ld" stands for Laura Dubuk, a Valve employee who worked on the map.
dod_avalanche	✓	May 19, 2009
dod_bridges	✗	January 3, 2006	A partially finished map. The map is a bomb objective map where the bridges are to be destroyed by the German side. It takes two bombs to destroy the bridges. When destroyed the bridges oddly display broken glass particles and play a glass shattering sound and simply disappear.
dod_caen	✗	June 2, 2004	dod_caen from original game, with some modifications. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.
dod_charlie	✗	April 5, 2004	dod_charlie from original game, unedited. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.
dod_chemille	✗	June 2, 2004	dod_chemille from original game, with some modifications. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.
dod_colmar	✓	May 2, 2006
dod_colorcorrection	✗	December 1, 2005	A version of dod_donner that was made to test every color correction effect present in the game. It was used in a demo by Tim Smalley called "Cinematic Effects in Source".
dod_donner	✓	May 19, 2009
dod_flash	✓	November 13, 2007
dod_flash_dark	✗	October 5, 2005	A nighttime version of dod_flash. Aside from the time of day being changed and some light sources being added, the map is identical to the regular dod_flash.
dod_holz	✗	April 25, 2005	A heavily unfinished map which would have featured both sides starting at opposite ends of the map and then battling through hedgerows for control of two central, exposed capture points. As stated prior, the map is heavily unfinished and most of the foliage is missing textures. Some, but not all, of the textures can be found in the GoldSrc version.
dod_jagd	✓	June 20, 2006
dod_kalt	✓	June 11, 2008
dod_kalt_old	✗	July 1, 2004	The original game's version of dod_kalt, with some modifications. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.
dod_koln	✗	November 2, 2005	dod_koln was meant to be a port from the beta version of the original game, that was supposed to be included in a canceled big patch for Day of Defeat: Source. This version of the map is merely a setpiece and is not intended to be played.
dod_koln_ab	✗	December 15, 2005	This is the version of dod_koln that was meant to be part of the cut update. This version of the map has control points, and multiple areas in early development. "ab" stands for Aaron Barber, a Valve employee who worked on the map.
dod_koln_modeltest	✗	November 29, 2005
dod_koln_modeltest_HDR	✗	December 13, 2005

dod_koln_prototype07	✗	March 14, 2006
dod_koln_prototype09	✗	March 29, 2006
dod_kraftstoff	✗	June 2, 2004	dod_kraftstoff from original game, with some modifications. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version. Some notable changes: Sandbag and tree models have been replaced with updated versions. Some billboard func_illusionary cables have been replaced with keyframe_rope and move_rope cables. Turrets have been removed.
dod_lightTest	✗	January 19, 2006	A map used for testing lights.
dod_northbound	✗	July 1, 2004	dod_northbound from original game, with some modifications. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.

jakobstrasse	✗	October 13, 2004	Another map from Jakob, containing several destroyed buildings along two streets in states of ruin. Strasse (also spelled staße), is German for "street".
kalt_skybox	✗	June 2, 2004	A version of dod_kalt_old, scaled down to "3D skybox" size. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.
northbound_skybox	✗	June 2, 2004	Ditto, but dod_northbound this time. Requires textures and models from GoldSrc version.
plane_flyby	✗	January 17, 2005	A test of the logic used for planes to fly overhead in the 3D skyboxes of various maps (although this plane looks and sounds nothing like a plane).
test	✗	January 3, 2006	A run-of-the-mill test map.
zoo_debris	✗	May 17, 2005	A zoo map for all kinds of debris.

dod_alpine#

A shot overlooking the central capture point.

The interior, second floor of the central capture point which is a fully furnished cabin.

The tunnel system on the Allied side of the map. The texture for the tunnel arches can be found in Counter-Strike: Source, but textures for the gravel beneath the tracks are nowhere to be found.

dod_bridges#

The message displayed after a bomb explodes still displays the "to do" for the developers.

dod_flash_dark#

dod_holz#

The destroyed village acting as the spawn point of the Allies.

One of the two central control points, this being the most exposed of the two.

The other central control point which is slightly less exposed than its field based counterpart.

dod_koln_ab#

For some reason, there's a full-size halftrack in the 3D skybox.

jakobbox#

The following missing assets are referenced by the map:

GLASS_TEST/SHADER5.vmt
NATURE/BLENDSUMMERGRASS01.vmt
TEMP/BRICKWALL004A.vmt
TEMP/BRICKWALL017B.vmt
TEMP/BRICKWALL038A.vmt

jakobstrasse#

Most of the missing textures in the map can be restored using files from Half-Life 2's leak or it's asset repo. The following materials are missing entirely:

JAKETEMP/BUILDING1_MAIN.vmt
JAKETEMP/BUILDING1_SIDE.vmt
JAKETEMP/BUILDING2_MAIN.vmt
JAKETEMP/BUILDING2_SIDE.vmt
NATURE/BLENDGRASSDIRT002A.vmt

There are also references to the following lost models:

models/props_exteriors/chimney_01a.mdl
models/props_exteriors/chimney_02a.mdl
models/props_exteriors/doorframe_01a.mdl
models/props_exteriors/doorframe_02a.mdl
models/props_exteriors/dormer_01a.mdl

models/props_exteriors/windowframe_01b.mdl
models/props_exteriors/windowframe_02a.mdl

Interestingly, there are 3 npc_crow entities placed in the map. These do not exist in Day of Defeat Source's code so they cannot spawn.

zoo_exteriors#

This zoo map references the following missing models:

models/props_exteriors/dormer3b.mdl
models/props_windows/ava_church_arched_window.mdl
models/props_windows/ava_church_arched_window_destroyed.mdl
models/props_windows/anzio_church_window1.mdl

models/props_windows/windowframe_destroyed1a.mdl
models/props_windows/windowframe_destroyed1b.mdl
models/props_windows/windowframe_destroyed2b.mdl

models/props_urban/italian_sign_salerno.mdl
models/props_urban/italian_sign_trentinara.mdl
models/props_urban/italian_sign_pole2.mdl

Some of these models either exist in other directories, can be found in other games (namely Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2: Lost Coast), or don't exist at all.

Visgroups#

dod_anzio#

Anzio has a few visgroups that were disabled when the map was compiled.

_portal at axis cap 1 consists of an areaportal above the Axis' first capture point. Likely became obsolete due to the hint/skip tool brush in the same position.

_removed phys props is a visgroup containing various bits of physics-based rubble, possibly removed for optimization, as well as other larger assorted props. These props are prominent on the plaza capture point.

_swinging_lamps is a visgroup containing several physics-based lamps attacked to wall-mounted lampposts. The lampposts still exist in the released map, but like "_removed phys props", the lamps themselves were likely removed for optimization.

_window_sprites is a visgroup containing several sprites simulating volumetric lighting. This was likely removed due to layered translucency being too taxing on the GPU.

dod_flash#

Flash has a few visgroups that were disabled during development.

_obsolete props is a visgroup containing various props that were made redundant, including this signature from the map's author, Iikka Keranen. This visgroup references a missing models/props_misc/mirror-2.mdl model, which does not exist but has textures in the repository.

_removed phys props is a visgroup containing physics props that were removed, likely for optimization purposes.
