As you all know, Valve had released a big update for Half-Life last year in honor of game's 25th anniversary. If you ask me, it's amazing of them not forgetting their golden title and giving it much deserved treatment. I was especially excited for an unexpected return of original iconic menu from WON era, but, unfortunately, Day of Defeat didn't get one, so I've decided to recreate it myself. At first, in April this year, I did it entirely for myself as a little hobby project, but recently I've thought that it would be good to share with everyone, so oldschool Day of Defeat fans and WON era/style connoisseurs could also have an opportunity to enjoy it. Here is a bunch of screenshots, which will show you what I was able to achieve: 1. Original WON menu (click on it to open a full image) 2. My recreated version for low resolutions (click on it to open a full image) — optimized for 800x600 and lower resolutions, original screenshot resolution is 640x480 3. My recreated version for high resolutions (click on it to open a full image) — optimized for 1024x768 and ANY higher resolution (even 4K, all the elements will scale, except for background), original screenshot resolution is 1280x720 1.

Installation is very easy: 1. Open your Half-Life directory, which is located in " Steam\steamapps\common ", or go to your Steam library, press Right Mouse Button on Half-Life or Day of Defeat, hover your cursor on " Manage " and click on " Browse local files ". 2. Open the downloaded archive. Now, if you're playing with resolution 1024x768 and higher - open the folder called " High Resolution ", and if you're playing with lower resolution , then open the folder called " Low Resolution ". After that drag the folder called " dod_addon " into your Half-Life directory. 3. When the process of copying files will be finished, launch the game, click on " Options ", go to the tab " Content " and check the option which says " Allow custom addon content ", as it is shown in the screenshot below. Then press " Apply " and the game will restart automatically. That's it, you've successfully installed the modification. 1. Why is the background in such low resolution? Answer : I took this background from the original WON version of the game. In there menu and most of the user interface are a part of separate launcher, which has resolution 640x480 pixels and it cannot be changed. Ergo, this background has the same resolution, and when you're using higher resolution - it is getting scaled. I thought about trying to upscale the image, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time on research, since I was doing it only for myself. In the future I might change my mind, if I will find some good method, therefore, if you have something to share in this regard - I will appreciate it. 2. Why is the logo not animated, like in WON version of the game? Answer : Unfortunately, at this moment, in Steam version of the game logo is hardcoded to use only one certain animation, which was specifically created for Half-Life. In WON version it is just a looped video, which you can't use in the newest version, unless you will modify code of the game. 3. Why hints are not perfectly lined up with menu options in the version for low resolutions? Answer : I don't know the exact reason behind this issue, but it is also present in the original menu, which was recreated by Valve for 25th anniversary. The lower resolution, the smaller font size and
