Participation in the ProDOD beta test program on SunLit Crossfire 69.28.221.230:27015 has been excellent and the server reaching capacity at times. We are running the stock maps and some choice customs. The customs will auto download.
The server is setup to run a match config, passworded, 20 min rounds for from 6v6 to 10v10 teams. Clan or pick up game (pug) are welcome. Any enforcer can run the match cfg through the Mani Admin Rcon menu. There is a Crossfire channel in SunVent for your use.
As fun as just playing is, this is a beta test for the pub player community. Reporting your observations and suggestions is strongly recommended. You can do so in the ProDOD Beta Test Forum. Pure from the ProDOD development team is answering questions in the forums daily.

SunLit is participating in the ProDOD beta test program. We have set up a test server, SunLit Crossfire 69.28.221.230:27015 for our members to use during this test.
In case any of you are not familiar with this mod, it offers gameplay very similar to DoD 1.3, but with the Source engine. Weapons are more accurate. All classes have pistols. If enough of us like it, we may keep it around.
As this is a beta test, we are not allowed to simply post a link to the ProDOD client installer on our site. The ProDOD development team has said we may give out the client file to a limited number of "trusted members" (i.e., people we trust not to distribute the client installer to anyone else).
Therefore, if anyone would like to participate in the beta test, they will have to ask Rosie or Pvt.John by e-mailing us for a link to the client-installer. We will be happy to provide this to any SunLit regular that we recognize, on the condition you agree not to redistribute the file. You may e-mail us at admin -at- sunlitgames -dot- net. Make sure to sign your e-mail with your game name so we know who you are.
Remember, the whole point of the beta test is feedback for the developers. Speak up :)

TOP GUN Mav has released his final version of dod_tiger
There is a marked improvement in fps especially around the centre tank, hallways are better lit and sticky spots are removed. There is a tunnel from the top of the axis spawn hill that exits into the river. His only caveat is that the map requires the latest video drivers to avoid some graphic artifacts and hl2.exe crashes. Loaded up on the Annex.

dod_swamp_b1 is the latest effort by LeadPaint.
Its a very linear map with 5 flags and a centre 2 man cap. FPS were fairly good on a walkthrough. Minimap available.
It reminds me of a cross between DOD 1.X dod_sumpf and HL2DM dm_swamp
Share your comments.
Playing on Futurama.

dod_stug_b1 is a first and substantial effort by Lard. A medium size urban map with spawn barricades, minimap, 5 flags (2 man mid cap) and fps 80+. Lard has incorporated new models including a Stug III tank. Now playing on both servers.

Rolk, the author of the Arras series has created an remake of the classic dod_snowtown, dod_celes_b1
Its instantly recognizable in layout and the brutal gameplay. We will be playtesting it tonight on the Annex 69.28.221.146:27015 from 8 - 10 pm est.
The server will have the usual password, just ask any enforcer. The map will autodownload. Please do not share the map with others outside the community.
You can let Rolk know of your impression

 dod_battlebridge_b5 is a first mapping effort for [SAS]Dirty_Harry.
Battlebridge is a large urban map with 5 flag captures. Featuring tunnels (flag 4), a river with accessibility reminiscent of Sturm and routes through well lit buildings, it has something for all weapon classes. A minimap will help you navigate. FPS is 80+ on the walk through. Now playing on both DODS servers.

The top 14 custom maps listed on the War Report are surprising. They
range from the exquisite dod_sora_b3 to the minmalist circlular map, dod_icecaverns.
Some have achieved their ranking (player hours) by virtue of being on 24/7 servers but the question arises "Are we missing something?"
The Annex will be running a new map cycle incorporating some of these ranked maps. New to SunLit Games are dod_4_towers_final2, dod_omaha_v1 as well as the popular map dod_chicago_beta17.
Omaha does not have spawn protection and the spawn killing rule is waived on this map.
Play nice now.
Please post your comments in the forums .

 dod_dropzone_final is a first effort by mapper Caboose. Dropzone is an night time objective map. Allies parachute out of 2 aircraft, fall through thick cloud cover, and land in a open field. They have 10 minutes to storm axis bunker, destroy 3 walls and capture flag and radio room. Fps were fine while doing the walk through.
 dod_pillbox2 is a small, rainy and atmospheric map. It features trenches, pillboxes, 5 flags with 3, 2 man caps. Mapper is Dash. Fps is in the mid 60s.
We need a full server to check them out. Now on Futurama.

We have installed the new admin skins made by Wile E. Coyote on our Day of Defeat Source servers (picture at left).
Players do not need to download or do anything. The server will automatically install the files necessary for you to see the admin skins the first time you join one of our DoDS servers.
SunLit Enforcers will see a menu in game whenever they join a team, offering the choice of the admin skin or the standard skin. This way, you can choose to be anonymous (or at least not use the admin skin) if you so wish.
As you can see, the skins do not offer any advantage in gameplay. They are very similar to the standard DoDS skins, with the addition of a white stripe on the helmet with the letter "A" in it.
Feel free to offer any comments or observations in the comments link below.

The DODS Map Gallery has been revamped.
The maps are listed alphabetically, have a preview 800x600 image and are ranked from 1 - 4 stars depending upon framerates, appearance and gameplay. All map files have been updated and will self install to:
C:>Program Files>Steam>SteamApps>{your e-mail}>day of defeat source>dod
Newer versions of a map will replace the old in the lists. The downloads are available to registered SunLit Game's members.
If you know of a map you would like to see on the SunLit Games server or would like a venue to playtest your creations let us know. SunLits, supporting the custom community since the year 2000.

 dod_kleihne_b2 is an offering from a new Spanish mapper, M4us3r.
A big step forward in optimization from the b1 version, you can try it out this evening on both servers.
 Ripster has released the next version of dod_stalag13b2.
He has valiantly been working on improving frame rates without losing any of the atmosphere.
Both maps will autodownload in game or you can get them ahead of time from the SunLit Games DODS Map Gallery.

 dods_chemille_b2 is a new offering from mapper dart.
Looks like it will play as fast and nasty as the original.
"We found some small bugs in the beta version, nothing very huge, next version will be more sourced up, fps as stable as official maps. The small glitches will be fixed." - dart

 dod_stalag13 is a new offering from mapper NoLimit> Ripster ( dod_slope_source).
Its a new and interesting concept, not a port.
Good fps and room for rifles to shine. Playing on Futurama.
 dod_charlie_source was created by Mxthe. It has all the features we loved (and hated) about charlie. The "use" key is enough to blow the obstacles in lieu of satchels. Now playing on the Annex.

I have been working on the forums. While trying to fix one thing (the "recent posts" block on the home page), I managed to make things much worse. It seems there are many posts missing when I restored a backup.
Just thought I'd let you all know I'm aware of it and will look into it further tomorrow.
Please note that since I will be attempting to restore a backup made earlier today, anything you post until it is restored properly may disappear. I will post something here when I'm done.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE 4-14-06 9:25AM CST:
I have attempted to re-install the forum software yet again, and have restored a backup yet again, and still not all the data is there. The forums are working, but we have lost a number of posts. Sorry guys, I blew it.
