This is great! However, I think that some of these(such as SF's) feel like cheats. Sure they help but it reduces the level of the hero's skill and it's maximized potential. In a way it may be good but technically you're just pampering the newbies.

Most of the time you write something like this cl_updaterate "40", when you use the vale between those " signs. But here: dota cheap water, and those 5 commands you dont use ". Does it matter ?

It's only cheating when players on the other team use it.

Here's a pretty good one that you missed. Only works from your autoexec.cfg or any cfg that initialises before the game loads.

Added. btw where did you find out about that command? I've searched and the only source seems to be your twitter account.

Do you have any more gems?

Wow, the invoker ones seem borderline cheating to me. As a pretty bad invoker player, with those scripts I could cast spells incredibly fast, much faster than I normally would, and, most importantly, without mistake.
O
n the flip side, in the long run, it won't help you that much, because you haven't trained your micro skills. Maybe you'll get an absurdly high winrate using the macro (unlikely) and get to a point where most people have better micro than you do, because you used that script to get there.

This thread has helped me a lot, especially the performance editing, now I can play at a reasonable fps on my old PC. Thanks!

Can you zoom out the camera? My resolution is low, and I can't see very far around my hero.

Command: dota_gamescon_althack
Description: Let's you use ALT+QWEASD to use items from your inventory.
Example: dota_gamescon_althack "1"


So, if I end up giving beta keys to my friends who got used to playing with the ALT+QWEASD I can just ask them to type this into their console and they won't have to bother fixing it in controls option anymore?

How I wish I knew this sooner.

dota_camera_accelerate 49

I'm not sure if anyone's posted this or if there's a better way to fix the camera from sliding when scrolling but I've found this to be really helpful.

This is by design. No amount of resolution will change the area you can see around your hero. Even at 1900x1200 (16:10 monitor, hell yeah), the area you can see is not very big.

Yeah. It should work just like that. If you want to test it out just type the command into the console.

For balance reasons, there is no command to zoom out then the default max zoom unless you are playing a lobby game in 'cheat mode' in which case the command is dota_camera_distance. The default value is 1134 and 2000 will look like
this.

I haven't tested this but you might be able to use that command when spectating.

For tons more cheat mode commands check out this and this. If people want, I can add a section about this to the op. There quite useful for testing things out.

Just one extra point: a few threads on the official Dota 2 forum were suggesting that people with different resolutions could potentially see more of the map.

It won't over-write your other config files but it should override it. If there is any ambiguity, your autoexec file will take precedence although it won't change or delete your other config files. You should be able to restore any settings back to what they were by deleting the autoexec file and restarting Dota 2.

I'm not entirely sure but you might be able to change it using the settings menu. I'll add it to the main post.

HALP T_T

In my autoexec.cfg I have this:
//Inventory keys
bind "x" "dota_item_execute 0"
bind "c" "dota_item_execute 1"
bind "t" "dota_item_execute 2"
bind "g" "dota_item_execute 3"
bind "v" "dota_item_execute 4"
bind "space" "dota_item_execute 5"


However my config.cfg lists both the above hotkeys but it also adds hotkeys from 1-4 and mouse4+mouse5 on every single startup. As soon as I'm ingame those are the hotkeys the game wants me ot use, if I load the config.cfg at that point both keysetups show up.

What am I doing wrong? T_T

This should do what you want.


I am desperately trying to get this command to work, but I can't seem to get it to work. I absolutely cannot play this game without inverting the drag scroll. I am too used to sc2 and LoL.

I have no problem creating the .txt file and putting it in the proper location, but where do I enter this command?? I tried to put it into the launch options, but it didn't work there. I used the -novid command in launch options and that one worked.

Thanks for your time!

Just on this, if you have 16:10 monitor (1920x1200) the best way is just to run 1920x1080 resolution in borderless window. It gets letterboxed, but thats great because you have easy access to the taskbar too.

You could also run 1920x1080 in fullscreen but it will get stretched and screw up the aspect ratio.

I tried some of the tips in the "list of commands will use (approximately) the lowest available settings for Dota 2" and it wouldn't run. It said "setup file gameinfo.txt doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'."

I tried the list of low spec/low graphics settings that you recommended and it worked fine. So things are OK for me, but there is an issue.

i've the same problem too. my other .cfg files automatically get included in the config.cfg files even if i don't enable them.
the only thing i've done to stop this is to delete all the 'extra' commands in config.cfg files and reopen the dota 2 client.
if you've found a better solution, all the better.
