You will need some files. The DoD:S standard files are locked up in the .GCF files.

You have to extract them with GCFScape (GCF Scape Download).

The files you need to completely redo the Hud are all over the place... if you are planning to do some major work, like Player ID icons and such finding all these is a Easter egg hunt, so learning about GCFScape... is an advantage.

Basically a lot of the work on colours is in the ClientScheme.res file, (find it in the download) this holds information of your colors and text. Lots of the adjustments are in it, just open it up with notepad to edit it. The default address is...

C:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Your email Name\day of defeat source\dod\resource
The other files you will need for basic changes in the dod folder are in...
\dod\resource\UI and \dod\scripts. Any other addresses are mentioned in the various sections.
Other files like HudPlayerStatusStamina.res, this file holds information of the size and position of the Stamina Bar on the screen, it's background, icon and progress bar.
So to recap, the ClientScheme.res filedoes colours and fonts only and the HudPlayerStatusStamina.res, and files like it in the UI folder help you adjust size and position.
Some other files like HudLayout.res (dod\scripts)hold both position and colour adjustments.
