Let's understand how to change hero in Dota 2. And we're not talking about pre-game draft picks right now, we're talking about visual gimmicks. What's that for? Yes, because the same introductory picture of the main menu for several years can be annoying, I want some variety. These are the things we're going to talk about. And at the same time we will touch on the topic of lobbies in single-player games.
How to change the hero in the lobby Dota 2
So, you decided to test a character in the game, but at one point he got bored, or priorities shifted. And then there's also teammates saying they don't have a sapporter/kerry, offlaner.
Ember Spirit isn't very good either, as it turns out.
What to do in this case? Open the console with the «\» button (next to Enter, or above it) and write there the command:
dota_sf_hud_force_captainsmode 1
As soon as you select — change the value in the console from 1 to 0:
dota_sf_hud_force_captainsmode 0
All, the problem is fixed. No one is indignant about anything.
How to Change Hero Video in Dota 2
You are probably sick of seeing the same hero animations when you select. Especially if you play for an extended period of time. I want something new. The game engine implies this, and the algorithm is quite simple.
.
Let's take the example of Lifestyler, although the algorithm for each character is the same. You will need any short video with WEBM extension without sound and a little digging in the game files.
The video can be found on Youtube or on thematic sites.
Now you need to go through the following path:
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\dota 2\beta\game\dota\panorama\videos\heroes
The
disk can be any disk, but the rest of the path
should
be copied without changes
The file name for
Lifestealer
is as
follows
:
npc_dota_hero_life_stealer.webm
Before changing it, we strongly recommend saving the original just in case.
Now the most important thing: how to change hero video in dota 2. It's simple: rename the downloaded file with the original name, save and voila.
.
As a result we have a new animation with the old hero.
P.S. in the game itself reception does not work, only on the main screen and when drafting a hero.
In one fell swoop you will change:
-
icon;
-
video presentation;
-
avatar;
-
animation;
-
portrait.
You can have as much fun as you like, changes are saved instantly, you don't even have to restart the client.
Removing animations from the main
Not everyone knows that the video greeting on the main screen of the game can not only be replaced, but also completely removed.
Experienced gamers note that this approach allows you to increase the FPS counter by 15-20 frames without changing the settings. What this has to do with — is unclear. Apparently, the developers from Valve were simply too lazy to fix the stability parameters of the game engine, leaving it to the care of gamers, because there is a console.
It will come in handy, by the way.
Open it and write the following command:
map_enable_background_maps 0
As a result, the picture will disappear completely, replaced by a black background.
We recommend for owners of weak PCs. Especially if you can not change the avatar of the hero in Dota 2, which also sags the frame count.
Customization here can be practically any element. If only you had time and desire.
We hope our tips will help you to pump up your Dota account a bit, and at the same time add some frames for smoother and more comfortable gameplay.
