more customisation is always good. I remember when I first played HoN, I was super impressed by the amount of customisation you could do.
there were some really nice clean UI along with useful info on screen.
Was a little bit disappointed with Dota 2 level of customisation but this is not too bad, at least a step up from the dota 1 lol

Hey mate. I'm posting to say thank you for this. I just discovered Dota 2's console just now and this has really been a big help. Again, thanks!

EDIT: Just saw Ryder.'s post above mine, didn't see it before I posted, going to try his solution.
2nd EDIT: It appears right click deny worked but not minimap icon size

a simple thing i used to do when playing other games that used autoexec,
it's important that whatever you write up you do it in a new document on notepad or whatever, and then when you save, go to save as, then check the save as type: is set to All Files. then add .cfg to the file name line, no .txt and see if that works.

also, it's gotta be autoexec.cfg for it to execute on startup, if you have another cfg file you want to use in conjunction, you can add "exec ___.cfg" to the autoexec (obviously no " here). but make sure if you have another, it's recognized in some way in the autoexec.

More customisation isn't always good. I hope they never introduce custom UIs or addons to Dota 2.

thanks, this guide really helped me but there was one thing, important or not, which caught my attention and you might want to edit it.

actually you implemented these exact lines two times in your start post:

Command: -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -useforcedmparms
Description: Disable mouse acceleration


and as an old counterstrike player your description isn't that clear, while for my knowledge there is no such command as "-useforcedmparms."

the correct lines are:

-noforcemaccel > reverts to desktop mouse acceleration settings (more)
-noforcemparms > reverts to desktop mouse button settings (more)
-noforcemspd > uses desktop mouse speed settings (more)

for most players it feels better to just skip the "-noforcemspd" command but since it's no fps-game it might not be that important.
everyone should try it out by himself although.

additionally to get completely rid of acceleration you need to disable "enhanced pointer precision" in windows mouse settings and to be really sure you can install "markC's mouse fix" which edits one line in your registry to delete window's "hidden" mouse accel.

Can someone post an up to date cfg? I don't care about keybinds and healthbars (I can do the 0 delay in hp change myself), but I need the settings for best latency/delay, performance and disabled mouse acceleration.
Since they removed dota_range_display, is there any way to achieve similar results (range circle of specified radius)?

I found a part of an old config, but it only has these: + Show Spoiler +

cl_pred_optimize 2

Im wondering about the launch options is it really necessary to use

-noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -useforcedmparms to disable mouse acc. I feel no differance at all.. Does these commands even work?
When do you need them?

I have already my mouse at 6/11 in windows.. And disable mouse acc in windows.

I posted this on the dota2 dev forums a while back, you can customise the names of pretty much everything in the game from a txt file, this is particularly useful if you want to use Names on Minimap!!!! The names are usually too long to use effectively and look horrible.... however you can change that,

The changes effect the entire UI, if you change Lifestealer to Naix it will show up as that in the hero select screens etc. You can change the name of pretty much everything in the game, including the aegis of the immortal, but for now I'll just focus on the hero names!!!

First off go to your steam folder, then navigate your way to your dota 2 installation (on windows this is programs files\steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta). Now navigate to dota\resource\ folder. In that folder you will find all the resources for every language. You need to find the file for the language you play in, for instance if you play in english dota_english.txt or russians dota_russian.txt etc. If you dont change the file for the language you play in, nothing will happen for you in game. These are basically the localization files, open your one up and search (ctrl+f) Queen.

This will bring you to the part of the text file you need to edit. It looks like whats inside the spoiler (I have already edited the names to how I like them, feel free to copy and paste!!!!):

All you need to do is edit the name of the hero to whatever you like, I use as short a form of the name as possible, to make them as small as possible on the minimap. Once you have edited the names, or copy and pasted my ones, you need to save the file... twice.

The first save is obvious, to save the changes to the file so they show up in game. The second save is more important!!!! You must save a copy of the file, names dota_insertlanguage_edited.txt. This is because every time the game receives and update, the dota_insertlanguage.txt will be overwritten to its standard state. So you will then overwrite it once again with the backup copy.

Even if you dont use names on minimap, this allows you to have the characters named as you like them named within the hero select screens etc. So if you want characters by their dota 1 names, that is possible. Its all client side, so its just for you and perfectly legal.

I'll give you some highlights of the other things you can change from the same file:
All menu/ui labels, error messages such as "Not connected to the dota 2 network" you see at startup sometimes, all in game tooltips, basically if you see text on the screen...... you can change it from here.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

A small button in the top right of shop menu is what you are looking for I think

Sorry for not reading through the whole thread, but how do you change mini-map icons to show the hero name or face instead of just the color? Haven't decided which would be better yet between the face icon and the name.
