DotA Theme Manager

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 17:10:00 +0000

Sick of the DotA Map? So you want to change it?
Now you can...
Not just by playing on the -ts snow terrain or using the weather effects or even just changing the water colour...

Now you can play on Desert, Hell, Snow, Barrens or even enjoy yourselves on the Beach!

Here's the Link to the discussion on this small program.
And.. Here's the Vid... Enjoy! Cheers!

Warcraft 3 Patch

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 04:18:00 +0000

This is the place you can get the patch for Warcraft 3, if you don't want to use the Bnet auto update.

Blizzard's Official Web page

Latest Patch is the v1.23

There are 2 types of patch files,
one is for Warcraft 3 - Reign Of Chaos and the other is for Wacraft 3 - Frozen Throne.

If you have Frozen Throne installed, the frozen throne patch is all that you'll need. If you don't have the Frozen Throne installed, just download Reign of Chaos patch.
Take note and don't download the wrong one.

Equations

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:53:00 +0000

Equations

A lot of these equations pertain to Warcraft III in general. Where applicable they were simplified from the general Warcraft III form to DotA specific equations. Numbers are meant to be exact as how Warcraft III interprets them; when you see .14 it is not and approximation of 1/7.

Base stats

Variable	Title	Equation
Str	Strength Total	Base Strength w/level + any items bonuses
Agi	Agility Total	Base Agility w/level + any item bonuses
Int	Intelligence Total	Base Intelligence w/level + any item bonuses
Pri	Primary Total	The number total for the primary stat for the hero =(Str, Agi, Int) depending on hero
ArmorB	Armor base	What a hero has w/o any stats or items**
ACoolB	Attack Cool down	The number of seconds a hero has to wait to attack again after attacking w/o any stats or items
Range	Attack Range	The distance a hero can attack
MSpd	Movement speed	How fast a hero moves in DotA. Max w/modifiers is 522.
DMnB	Damage Base Min	The minimum damage without stats nor items
DMxB	Damage Base Max	The maximum damage without stats nor items

Calculated stats*

Variable	Title	Equation	Meaning
HP	Hit points max	150 + (19 * Str)	The maximum a hit points a hero can regenerate to
HPReg	Hit points Regeneration	0.25 + (.03 * Str)	How many hit points a hero regains per second
Mana	Mana Max	13 * Int	The resource used to cast spells & use abilites.
MReg	Mana Regeneration	0.01 + (.04 * Int)	How much mana a hero regains per second
Armor	Armor	ArmorB + (Agi * .14)	Armor w/stats & items
DmgMn	Damage Min	DMnB + Pri	The minimim damage with stats taken into account
DmgMx	Damage Max	DMxB + Pri	The maximum damage with stats taken into account
IAS	Increate in Attack Speed	Agi	The number of seconds a hero has to wait to attack again after attacking. Note when warcraft says "Increase attack speed x%" it means increate this varible by x.
ACool	Attack Cool down	ACoolB + IAS	The number of seconds a hero has to wait to attack again after attacking.
AttSpd	Attack Speed	1 / ACool	How many times a second a hero can attack. Note by the schema laid out here when Warcraft III says "Increase attack speed x%" it means change IAS by x which effects ACool which effects this variable.
DRed	Damage reduction	1-{1/[1+(Armor*ADRM)]}	An amount of damage less taken from non-magical attacks
DPS	Damage Per Second	AttSpd*[(DmgMn+DmgMx)/2]	The amount of damage a hero will do a second before armor and other effects are taken into account

* Item modifiers & special hero modifiers are left out in the equations for the most past, but should be obvious with a little game play
** ArmorB is usually lower then what will show on a level 1 hero because of the agility modifier

Killing Streaks

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:48:00 +0000

Killing Streaks

When one player kills a number of players without dying they get a 'bounty' on their head. The more players killed before dying the higher that bounty gets. Players are alerted in the game via sound. When someone finally kills that player they receive the bounty gold in addition to the regular 100 gold for killing a hero.

Kills	Sound	Bounty
3	Killing Spree	50
4	Dominating	100
5	Mega-Kill	150
6	Unstoppable	200
7	Wicked Sick	250
8	M-m-m-m....Monster Kill	300
9	Godlike	350
10+	Beyond Godlike/Holy Shit (somebody stop/kill him!)	400

DotA Quest

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:55:00 +0000

To play DotA in the snow terrain, you will just need to type -apts before the game start instead of the usual -ap/-ar. Just add ts to the command.

If you want to try out some of the non-listed DotA heroes in the game, you just need to type -fun before the game start to chose from a tavern on the lower right of the map.

DotA Personal Quest
Like killing Roshan in the Fastest way possible. This was actually told to me by a friend of mine and I think it's cool! Here's the Vid.. enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DotA Map Quest
If you all haven't found out yet. There is actually a side quest on every x.x9B DotA map (only the B map only). This is to celebrate every 10 maps in the x.xx series from x.x0 to x.x9.

on 6.49B is the Invoker Quest, where you have to kill invisible frogs on the map to get to fight a super powerful invoker.

on 6.59B is the Tauren Chief Quest, where you go around gathering Totems to summon the chieftain. Once you defeated him, you will gain his weapon.

Did a search on the web..

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:42:00 +0000

I found a site where you can actually download a DotA 6v6 map that is updated to the latest 6.59D.

http://www.6v6dota.com/

I also looked through some of the videos on youtube.
Think that it's about time that I actually video some of my pub games to show how to play each hero.
Some of the videos are nice, but it can be better.
Among the videos on youtube only a handful are worth seeing.

Hi people! I'm back!

DotA How to be a Well-liked & Great Pub Gamer!

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:10:00 +0000

Just know that people who play in pub games may not be Pro players or maybe newbies who are still new to the game. They may be no up to your team's standard, so they will tend to feed or can't farm up and be useless to the team. Just be nice to the people who share this 5v5 game with you as DotA is just a game that you have fun in.

A good attitude and no scolding is a must to be well-liked by the pubbies.

A non-stated rule in pub game is that pub players don't BD(Backdoor), unlike in tournament where it's legal and allowed to BD. They don't like people who BD, and these BD people will likely be flamed real bad for BackDooring.

DotA The series of hacks for DotA (Other than Maphack)

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:35:00 +0000

Hacked version of Icefrog DotA maps

When you are joining a game in the lan network, there will be some warcraft 3 maps or DotA maps with a name like "DotA Allstars v6.59~1" etcs, when you click on the map it shows a gray display picture, but after you joined the game it looks like a normal game. However, these type of map with a different ending at the map's name is a hacked version of IceFrog's Map. As the map is changed there will be a slight delay in downloading the map from the creator, thus the gray screen at 1st.

Do not join these games as it will likely be a one sided game where you will be trashed by
the hacker who modified the map. This hacked version either gives him gold,EXP boost,vision like Maphack, Higher MS/AS/stats for a hero which he chose etcs. Ultimately he will win.

I'm thinking wether I should tell you all about the list of hacks avialble....As, if I told there maybe more hackers around......

DotA The Mher/Cheater Group

noreply@blogger.com (TheDarkArt) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:33:00 +0000

Ok, I'm just stating the obvious that in DotA there are cheaters and mhers, so do in other online games. And the only way that non-cheaters like us can enjoy the game is by playing with your trusted friends.

The online game world is full of people who want to get ahead in whatever they do using bots, hacks even cheats and we can't stop them unless the Blizzard do something about warcraft 3 or someone comes out with anti-hacks that works like magic. So face it there will be cheaters in DotA.

Some ways to detect cheaters
Some of the games where you know that you are doing very well and the enemies just seem to avoid all the possible ganks and deaths. They will likely be using Map-Hack, this hack give vision to them and remove the fog of war from their playing screen. Thus, allowing them to get away or hide in the trees where you cannot find them. they will know when there's a lone hero to kill and when is the right moment to push and farm up.

This usually ends in a losing game for you. So just leave in the middle of the game and don't join their games any more. These cheaters will likely be highlighted by your team mates as well.

2) When the host of the game don't type -ah, it shows that either he is using hack or his friends are using them. And this will confirm with your feeling of "there are cheaters".

*Note that there are also hacks that do bypass the -ah function of the map.

So just play your game and have fun, ignoring the fact that you will lose, as deep down you know you are a great player!
