Warcraft 3 Manabars Plugin for DotA

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:44:00 -0700

Warcraft 3 Manabars is a tool which allow players to see Manabars of their Heroes and units in game, just underneath HP Bar. Normally, Warcraft 3 does not have option to view the Manabars of the units. This tiny piece of program will surely help DotA-Allstars players to check the manapool of their opponents during Battles, chasing, ganking etc. Check the Warcraft 3 Manabars 1.4 Download & guide.

Download Warcraft 3 Manabars:
Manabars 1.4.zip (mirror 1)
Manabars 1.4.zip (mirror 2)

Guide:
• Download Manabars 1.4.zip and extract the files.
• Run Warcraft 3 and switch to desktop using Alt+Tab.
• Now run Manabars.exe from the extracted files.
• Now play a map, you will see Manabars of allied and enemy units/heroes.

Note:
- All credits goes to Lynn for creating this program.
- If you disable "Show HP Bars" option in Warcraft 3, the manabars will also disable.

Dota Capture Point Mode Guide | -cp (-capturepoint)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:23:00 -0700

Dota 6.67 has a new fun game mode that somewhat requires more teamwork and coordination than the usual game. This mode is called Capture Point. In this mode, you can capture certain point by standing on the spotted location on the map above. The duration to capture the point is depends on the how many heroes are there. The more the faster you are.

Now we're not only fight to kill enemy heroes and destroy their tower. The capture points appear after 10 minutes at the fixed locations around the map. Once the capture points are created, those areas are permanently visible to both teams for the rest of the game.

As i said before, we must standing at a certain amount of times. If you're alone, it takes 60 seconds. If all five heroes are there, it only takes 12.5 seconds. The important thing is there cannot be any enemy heroes at a point you are trying to capture. So, you must kill any enemy heroes approaching your targeted point. Heroes cannot be invisible while on a capture point area. Illusions do not count as heroes when on top of a Capture Point.

The capture points consist of 3 types. If you get 2 of the same type then they stack. For example, if you have both Combat you get 28 bonus damage and 8 bonus armor.

Combat - CP Type 1 [Bonus Damage/Armor]: Increases your Damage by 14 and Armor by 4 (Twice of each if you have both)
Regen - CP Type 2 [Bonus Health/Mana Regeneration]: Increases your Health Regeneration by 4 and Mana Regeneration by 1
Speed - CP Type 3 [Bonus Movement/Attack Speed]: Increases your Movement Speed by 4% and Attack Speed by 12%

Duplicates of each type are available on opposite sides of the map.

The game announces when an enemy captures a point. It is also visible on the minimap which areas you have captured and which areas the enemy has. When you capture a point, your team's heroes gain bonuses to various attributes as stated above and all allied heroes in that area will get healed for 200 hp/mp, gain 150 bonus gold and bonus xp (4 creeps worth).

Even though it will need some times to let the players learn the rule, looks like Capture Point Mode will be a fun alternative mode when you're tired with the usual Captain Mode or All Pick mode. I will update this post when i got more information, tips and guide. Meanwhile, share your experience and your though about this new mode in here :)

Dota Myths and the True Facts

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:09:00 -0700

Myth:
Pressing F1 or ctrl + 1234567890 which already binded to your hero all together will make you regen faster than normal in your fountain.

Fact:

False. The regeneration rate is still the same, only the number refreshes faster.

Myth:
Buying Vlads will get your illusions a lifesteal.

Fact:

False. Illusion didn't get the lifesteal effect from Vampiric Aura or cleave from Battlefury. However, illusion can still get Feedback orb from Diffusal Blade (only melee) and Radiance aura.

Myth:

Using Battlefury, the Omnislash are cleaved.
Fact:
False. Only the additional slash will be cleaved. The true slash will remain intact without cleave.

Myth:
Quelling Blade makes last hitting easier.
Fact:
Half true. While it can help you increase the damage for last hitting creeps, on some heroes like Leviathan, Nerubian Weaver and Juggernaut, their attack animation is changed and thus make it harder to last hit.

Myth:
Stacking Vanguards increases your block damage.
Fact:
False. Stacking Vanguards increases the block chance, not the block number.

With 2 Vanguards you will still block 40/20 (melee/range) dmg, but at a higher percentage (70% for 1, 91% for 2).

Myth:

Dropping items that give int but no mana reg while at fountain will make you regen faster.

Fact:

True. Fountain mana regeneration is based on max mana % + 7 mana/second. So, dropping an energy booster, int threads, etc, will make you regenerate your mana faster at fountain.

Those are gathered from the PlayDota forums. If you have something to add or wanna make some correction, please share it here by dropping a comment. Enjoy! ;)

Do you ever feel that you want to test certain abilities which need 2 heroes on different side, but you don't have friends for it? Well, i do.. Of course there's always Dota AI map which can help you to do some testing, but we cannot control the enemy AI player as we like. But don't worry, Kolkoo a.k.a Aegis from the D3Scene forums has found a way out. With his tool, now you can play two instance of Warcraft 3 Game on one PC.

Here is what he said about this tool:

You type the full path to war3.exe in the config.txt file as well as any command line arguments you want to use Start W3MultipleLoader and it will Launch Warcraft III for you, you can run as many as you want. Yes the loader modifies the wc3 code but it cleans up after the game is loaded and unloads itself so it should be completely safe to use. Have fun

Download Link
Download kLoader via GameWebZ

How to Setup
==================
1. Open the Config.txt
2. Enter the full path to your warcraft III TFT
3. Save
4. Ready to go

Enjoy it guys! I know some of you will need this tool :)

Dota 6.66c Map - Official Dota-Allstars 6.66c Download Update & News

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:48:00 -0700

Dota 6.66c Map - Official Dota-Allstars 6.66c Download News and Update. Kuarinofu recently just found a gold abuse on the Dota 6.66b. Well, he still didn't told us how to reproduce it. But if it's true than it's pretty game breaking and i won't be surprise if IceFrog make Dota 6.66c. But there's also a chance if IceFrog will include the fix on the Dota 6.67 instead. But whatever it is, i will update the latest news about Dota 6.66c in this post :)

Dota 6.67 has New Game Mode and Zoom Features!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:59:00 -0800

IceFrog has just made a post about the new features for Dota 6.67. The first one is the zoom ability for the observers. As you know, it's pretty difficult to keep touch with all part of the Dota game with the current Warcraft 3 default view. This update hopefully will help the observer maintain a larger area and can spot the interesting event faster. Another one is a new game mode, Capture Point! How long since we got a new game mode guys? I can't remember it. Capture Point is kinda fun mode with bonus aura for your team if you manage to capture it. Curious? Check out the complete quote from IceFrog blog:

Hey guys, I just want to share some small information about the upcoming patch. It is too early for me to give a complete list of features or changes to expect, so I'll just be sharing a couple of small features as a sneak peak.

First, I've implemented a zoom mode for observers to allow spectators and shout casters to see a larger part of the battlefield rather than the current view.

The second is a Capture Point action style game mode. It is designed to be a short fun mode with lots of movement and action, as a break from the usual stuff. There will be many capture points (6+) spread around the map that, when captured, will provide various auras (Damage, Armor, Gold, Regen, Movement Speed, etc) for your team depending on which one is captured. The Capture Points all spawn after the first 10 minutes of the game. You gain control of a CP by standing on it for a certain amount of time (the more allies the faster). Capture Points can always be reclaimed by the enemy team after it is taken or it can also be interrupt during the capturing process itself. Keep in mind that all the mechanics and numbers are not final yet.

These are just two misc things in 6.67 that I wanted to share with you guys. There will of course be more work done on improving the current content with balancing and misc features. If there is something specific you want to see, don't hesitate to let me know.

Ok, this update is make me kinda excited. It's been a while since we got a new fun game mode. Too many serious game can make us stressed a lot and WTF mode sometime is too rigged. Hope this new mode can be an alternative to find a new joy ;)

Reconnect Dota Game is Now Possible!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:56:00 -0800

One of the features which people love from Heroes of Newerth or League of Legends is the possibility to reconnect when you got DC (disconnect) from the game. This feature is unfortunately doesn't exist on the Warcraft 3 engine. But thanks to Varlock, there's a glimpse of light for this problem. He already successfully tested the function and planned to applied it to the Garena and other platform in the future. Here is the quote from IceFrog blog:

Varlock, the developer of the popular Ghost hosting bot, has done a successful concept test on this functionality and will work on implementing it for public use in the future. The technology is portable for Garena (or anything else in theory, if someone wants to port it) as well.

He wanted me to try to help him gauge interest level for his project. It would basically require the host to be using the tool on bnet, garena or any other hosting platform the feature is ported to. Any player that wants to be able to reconnect would have the custom reconnect tool running, but players who are not using the tool could still play in the same games.

The exact time and schedule for its release is not defined yet. The main reason for this post is to help get him feedback so he can decide how much interest people have in it and consider his schedule accordingly. If you have any thoughts you want to share with him, you can respond here and I'll relay them to him or you can email him directly at hogantp@gmail.com

Thanks to Varlock for his continued efforts in the DotA hosting scene.

Well, even though this is useless for leavers, but it will help people who got disconnected by accident. Hope to seeing this implemented soon! :)

Dota Reconnection Tool is Almost Done!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:55:00 -0800

Remember the Varlock Dota reconnection project that IceFrog told us before? The project seems work smoothly and might as well released on the near future. IceFrog already doing some test with the Dota reconnection tool and the dropped player can reconnect to the game a few moment later. Sweet! Here is what IceFrog said about this project:

The first version of Varlock's reconnection tool is almost ready for release. We've been testing it in real DotA games for the past few weeks and it has worked very well. We've had many players disconnect only to reconnect moments later, saving otherwise lost games.

The code for this tool (both client and server) will be open source so that anyone can build upon it and integrate it into their platforms and communities.

* Readjusted the Divine Rapier pickup rules to prevent some abuses.

If the first time the item is lost from its original owner it is picked up by an allied hero, it becomes muted (no damage) until it returns to its owner. If an enemy acquires the rapier, it same rules as the previous version. Here are the complete rapier rules to clarify:
- "Original Rapier" has two modes, active and muted. It is active (bonus damage, droppable) when carried by the owner and muted (no damage, droppable) when carried by an ally
- "Free Rapier" is the item state that occurs when an enemy acquires it. This is a permanent transformation for the item. It will always provide bonusdamage and will always be undroppable, regardless of how it switches sides back and forth afterwards. This is the same as the previous patch.
Summary: The primary change that is done here is that a hero cannot intentionally pool the rapier to his ally.

* -unlock now requires a majority vote before the gold and items of a leaver will be released. As a reminder, once a hero is unlocked, it cannot be switched.

* Added a 15 second wait period before the drafting begins in -CD to give both teams a chance to look at the heroes.
