Dota-Allstars 6.54 Beta 21 Map Leaked!

Dota-Allstars 6.54 Beta 21 map leaked. Whoaa, just find another beta map ;p I don't know if this is not a fake, but after testing it, i think it's likely the real one. Cannot find many changelogs, you can try find the changes by yourself.

The current changelogs are :

DotA Allstars v6.54 Beta 13

- Fixed some Toss anim/sound bugs
- Fixed Shallow Grave (cd was 200/175/150 not the intended 120/80/40)
* Rebalanced Aphotic Shield
* Improved Borrowed Time
- RD rigged for SP and Abaddon
- Fixed bonus ava damage doing a little less than it should
- Fixed Toss working on ancients
* Player turn indicator for RD has been made more clear (if its not your turn, the color indicators are faded)

PL, Invoker and Tiny don't have to be in EVERY game, but they should be in most of them.
Dazzle and Abaddon should be in every game.
All 5 are rigged for RD.
This is changelogs found by people, you can share yours too :)

Yoyo:
-Changed QOP sonic wave animation (very cool imo)
-Changed Dazzle`s skills. He doesn`t have shallow grave anymore
Dodo:
Phantom Lancer Spirit Lance and Invoker Alactricy and EMP also got changed

Watch 1.21b Replays after 1.22 Warcraft Patch Installed

How to watch 1.21b Replays after 1.22 Warcraft Patch Installed. I am sure many of you will curious on how to do that. And i just found from the Dota-Allstars forums on how to do it. This post is from Champ, the forum leader of Competitive Dota section. Here we go.

After a the new patch (1.22) has been released people have been asking how to watch 1.21b replays when they have 1.22 installed, well I'm going to tell you the fastest working way.

***Make sure Warcraft III is closed before we begin.***

You must install WinRar (1.15MB), its free and its used to extract these files.

What you need to download:

These are the same downloads, just on different sites by request. Download 1.21b and 1.22 on either site.

FileFront:

* 1.21b (28.56 MB)
* 1.22 (28.56 MB)
* HQ Video Download, and with Video

MegaUpload:

* 1.21b (28.56 MB)
* 1.21b (28.56 MB)

Watch this patching tutorial once your done downloading 1.21b and 1.22.

Leet Tube Video

(Assuming the wc3 directory is the default c:\program files\warcraft III)

- unrar the file to a 1.21b directory in your wc3 directory.

- go to your wc3 directory and create a new directory called 1.22.

- copy game.dll, ijl15.dll, mss32.dll, storm.dll, war3.exe, and war3patch.mpq to the 1.22 folder.

- now you have the 1.21b version and 1.22 version in different folders. Anytime you want to view a 1.21b replay, just go into the 1.21b folder and COPY (don't move) those files to your main wc3 directory. When you want to switch back to 1.22, just copy the files in the 1.22 directory to the main wc3 directory. To make this simple, I use the following batch files:

121.bat, CODE:
cd c:\progra~1\warcra~1
copy .\1.21b\* .\


122.bat, CODE:
cd c:\progra~1\warcra~1
copy .\1.22\* .\


I put them on my desktop and just run whichever version I want. No need to repatch or anything like that. Tested with 1.21b and 1.22 replays with no errors. I'm not sure if you can still use batch files in Vista, but on XP, this works fine.

Well, i hope this guide can help you watch the old replays :)

DotA Theme Manager Version 2 released - Snow Theme Beta Included!

DotA Theme Manager, Version 2 released - Snow Theme Beta Included! Boring with all the same background and cosmetics on Dota-Allstars map? Now you can change the background into something cooler. Actually, this things is already there on Dota-Allstars forums since a while ago, but i prefer playing Clockwerk Goblin at the time :p Watch the screenshot and be amazed! Here is some quote and note on how to install it.



Overview:
1. What does this "Theme Manager" do?
The Theme Manager allows you using different terrainsets in DotA without using a different map. This works by replacing the textures/models in your MPQs - WC3's Data files - itself. It will not only change DotA's Terrain (where it has no glitches), but also other maps. In other maps, it will look quite bad, so this is more useful for DotA.
While it strongly changes the appearance of the map, it does not change anything of the gameplay - the changes are of PURE visual nature and the process is easily reversible.

The Theme Manager is completely compatible with every platform/hosting program (b.net/GGC/DC/LC/Hamachi/...).
The patch seems to have brought no problem at all.

2. What does it contain?
Beach Theme:
-Beachterrain everywhere
-"Pandaren" UI for both parties (thanks to Unwirklich)
Hell Theme:
-"Hell"-terrain everywhere
-"Demon" UI for both parties (thanks to Unwirklich)
Snow Theme
-Snowterrain everywhere
-"Frost" UI for both parties (made by myself, based on human UI)
Barrens Theme
-"Barrens" terrain
-orcish UI (by Blizzard, for both parties)
UI-only
-Pandaren or Demon User Interface for all 4 parties

3. How to use it?
(Installation)
How to install the Theme Manager?
1. If you have beachpack installed, restore to original (if you can't, it won't be too bad afaik). You would have exchanged your War3Patch.mpq in this case and should have a backup (with lower filesize).
2. Unpack the file IN your warcraft folder - in most cases C:\Program Files\Warcraft III.
3. DO NOT move or rename any of the files you unpacked.
4. Go!

(Usage)
1. Close your warcraft AND warcraft world editor. Else it does not work!
2. Start the program. If you start it the first time, it will create a backup of your MPQ
3. Select your favourite toolkit. If you select one, it will always be activated unless you change it!
4. Start WC3. Whether you start it out of the program or not is not important.
Other maps might have a (visually) screwed terrain - I suggest you to use "original" when playing something different than DotA

Beachpack in action - in "End Game"!

Have fun!
Infrisios

4. Spoiler - what will come in the future
As the preview screenshots show, the long awaited Snow Theme is close to being finished.

After that, I have a bunch of different basic ideas:
Themes:
-Barrens - that's what should come after snowpack.
-highland - something rocky -.-
-Dungeon - dunno, this could be a very dark version of the snow theme or something...I will again have a problem with trees... sad.gif
Others - these are purely hypothetic
Special functions in the GUI (again, only basic ideas):
-custom user interfaces for each race (with checkboxes or something you can select the Interfaces you'd like)
-custom models, again with checkboxes
-special icons (or do you like the Song of the Siren icon?)

5. DL-links, FAQ, Credits, Changelog, Screenshots, sig etc

Downloads: *.rar - you can only unpack these when you have winrar, but they are much smaller.
Dota Theme Manager Version 2
DL 1 - Megaupload [DTMV2]
DL 2 - Rapidshare [DTMV2]
DL 3 - Sendspace [DTMV2]
DL 4 - Mediafire [DTMV2]


Downloads: *.zip - bigger, but everyone can unpack them
Dota Theme Manager Version 2
DL 1 - Rapidshare

If any of these links is broken and you recognise it, please inform me. I will fix the problem asap, then.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
(or rather: questions ppl keep asking even though they are answered)
Q:Can this be made as a command like -ts?
A: No, because the cliffs can not be changed ingame.

Q: How does this pack work?
A: It replaces the textures of terrain and trees in the MPQ.

Q: Can you add a theme-fitting minimap?
A: After trying this in several different ways, I came to the conclusion that it is not possible to do that at all.

Wow, like the beach pack so much :)
If you like it, you can give the maker (Infrisios) some donation in this link.

Update: Dota Theme Manager Version 3 is available!

Update 2: Dota Theme Manager Version 4 is available!

Dota-Allstars 6.53 AIplus 1.52 Revision 7 Map Free Download! - Updated!

Dota-Allstars 6.53 AIplus 1.52 Map Revision 7 Free Download, the latest DotA 6.53 AI plus. And there is direct download link from pluginbaby. BuffMePlz decide to quick release this ported AI map for Dota-Allstars 6.53. This means we can try to use new hero, Goblin Clockwerk against the AI.

Here is what he said about this map:

Description:
It is the checked up map, works on 1.21b and 1.22a patches!Are made some my changes!
How's that for a quick update? =P

Normally I would take more time for testing but I have to leave again for another week or so, and you've all been remarkably patient so I decided to basically start a public beta test. I'd call this "Revision 0", but there's really no point in that, so here's the first revision of the newest port of RGB's AI to 6.53.

Note: Expect bugs. I haven't had time to find/iron them out. But please do report them as they show up.

I haven't had a chance to change -rd to the new format, or to address the removal of the "undroppable while in cooldown" system. Also, no "$" symbols for observers yet. I'll add these in the next revision, which I'll start on right after I get back.

In the meantime, go ahead and test the AI...I make no guarantees yet on quality and such. As far as I know, the item builds all work (though sometimes it screws up if you give the AI a bunch of money and they all go buy items simultaneously)...let me know if something breaks during an actual game.

One quick observation I saw in brief testing is that the AI tends to return to the fountain more frequently...I don't know if it was a fluke or some odd routine that's running too often. Confirmation would be good. If it is a problem, I'll try to fix it in the next revision.

As far as I know, all the other new content has been done (except for -ah, -afk, -kickafk, some exploits, and various bugfixes). As always, report bugs here as you encounter them, and be specific: "OMFG MY GAME CRASHED WTF" is not very helpful.

Thanks especially to Tenshinhan DN, Overflow_GR, Duvon, Strikur--, Counter_Helix_axe, Catalyst, and chaser02 for their hard work in creating the item builds for the AI. If you helped out and don't see your name here, let me know so I can give you props for your work. =)

Readme is as follows:

DotA Allstars 6.53 AI+ 1.52 Revision 01
---------------------------------------
This is a port of RGB's AI+ v1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).

It behaves the same as the original AI, and has only been updated to account for balance changes, new item recipes, and most new features. As such, some new content does not work fully with the AI yet.

THERE IS NO AI FOR LIFESTEALER, INVOKER, OR CLOCKWERK GOBLIN. THEY WILL NEITHER USE NOR LEARN THEIR SKILLS.

Known bugs with AI:
-Pathing on the top Sentinel lane is still the same as in 6.48b
-AI Sand King will not properly use Epicenter
-AI don't properly react to -nb and -nt modes
-Some exploits that should have been fixed are still in the game...just don't use them. If you really want to cheat against AI, just use -test.

Some commands have yet to be implemented properly:
-ah
-afk
-kickafk

Additionally, I have added a Fun Tavern in the lower right corner. Currently includes six legacy heroes (possibly more in the future): Old Invoker (6.12b), Old Lifestealer (6.48b), Old Silencer (6.12b), Gambler (6.06), Old Morphling (5.84b), and Old Stealth Assassin (5.84b).

To access the fun tavern, type -fun within the first 15 seconds of the game.

Changelog:
Rev. 01
=============
-First update to 6.53
-New item system implemented, so all item builds for AI heroes have been changed
-Disabled all AI scripts pertaining to Lanaya, hopefully this should allow players to choose her without crashing the game
-Updated AI Lycan to use new Howl ability
-Fixed timing on AI going to lanes in -rd
-It is now possible to pick heroes from the Fun Tavern when repicking or rechoosing
-Test command -lvlupall can have a number after it to have all heroes level up faster (i.e. "-lvlupall 25")
-Fixed a bug with Viscous Nasal Goo that made it unstackable when cast on AI heroes
-Changed the way gold distribution is coded to hopefully prevent crashes
-AI also get the same gold bonuses as human players in -em now if using -ng
-Updated -unstuck to use the implementation in 6.52
-Changed Eclipse implementation to that of 6.50 (no ministun)
-Changed Wild Axes implementation to that of 6.50
-Changed Land Mines implementation to that of 6.50 (detect floating heroes)

Thanks, and enjoy!

-Updated Old Morphling's spell database to allow stealing Rattletrap's skills
