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 the Source Developer Asset Repository leaks.
Check the Source Developer Asset Repository leaks category for more pages also sourced from this material.
Careful, you'll lose an eye.
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.

Summary

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

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Unused visgroups for used maps.
  • VMF file sizes.
File In-Game? Hammer Build Date Description
goldsrc
└─ dod_anzio June 1, 2005 The original game's version of dod_anzio, unedited. Requires textures from GoldSrc version.
└─ dod_avalanche June 1, 2005 The original game's version of dod_avalanche, unedited. Requires textures from GoldSrc version.
└─ dod_donner June 1, 2005 The original game's version of dod_donner, unedited. Requires textures from GoldSrc version.
└─ dod_flash June 1, 2005 The original game's version of dod_flash, unedited. Requires textures from GoldSrc version.
 
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 Older version of dod_anzio. "ik" stands for Iikka Keranen, a Valve employee who worked on the map.
dod_anzio_ik2 May 17, 2005 Another old 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 older 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 from GoldSrc version.
dod_charlie April 5, 2004 dod_charlie from original game, with some modifications. Requires textures from GoldSrc version.

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.
dod_jagd June 20, 2006

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.
