Dota Heroes


here are few dota heroes ..
i guess i left two taverns !!

How to create a AI Map in DOTA

Steps involve in DOTA AI making

I just want to share some of the information I manage to gather regarding AI making for DOTA.

First, the requirements to start making an AI for DOTA:

1. A knowledge of JASS programming.
2. A map deprotector OR Dota AI script Injector (DAII)

Optional:
Jasscraft (JASS editor)

Right now, there are two common ways to make AI for DOTA:


1. Using DAII or "Dota AI Injector" (the easier way)

DAII is a tool to inject JASS AI script into the DOTA map. It comes with a basic AI template. It is up to the user to modify.

Useful ingame functions for debugging DAII
While in game, type -debug. If you want the AI to control your character, type -afk.
There is also a cheat function built in DAII, -rich which give 100000 golds to all players.

I found further Info by Aeyah regarding DAII :- http://www.gg-game.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=28504

The pro and con of using DAII:

PRO:
This program is easy to use. Good for everyone who want to start learning DOTA AI.
Just run the program and inject the AI script to the DOTA map.
To modify the script, just open the Function.txt (inside the DAII folder) with some sort of Editor.

CON:
-In some instances, too much modification to the script (Functions.txt) will corrupt the the DOTA map when injected. I think that it sometimes overwrite the original DOTA script inside the Map. Remember, we are talking about injecting a script to the protected map.
-Also, DAII is too dependent on the whim of the DOTA programmer (In this case ICEFROG). If he somehow decide to change the variables in the next version DOTA, the DAII will stop functioning. (unless a new AI script template is made for it)

Note: Looks like Dota-Allstars 6.52 is the one he meant. IceFrog recoded the items code and hence the DAII stop functioning. A new AI script template must be made to make it work again.

2. The hard way.

The steps involves deprotecting/decompiling the DOTA or DOTA AI map, then extract and edit the "war3map.j" and recompiling it.

A good way to start (assuming you have deprotect the Map) is to compare the two script of the same version. The original DOTA script vs the script containing AI.
For example, if you compare the original script 6.43b to 6.43b_AIplus script, the differences should be the AI code. From there, you could begin to analyze and modify these code as needed.

FYI, the Original 6.43b dota has around 24 thousand lines of code, while the 6.43b_AIplus version has around 37 thousand lines of code. Therefore, there are around 13 thousand lines of AI code added by RGB/Lazyfiend. (Good job Lazyfiend!)

So, unless you have a lot of time and good knowledge of JASS scripting, it will be hard.

The tools are available on the net, so please DON'T ask me. This is another reason why non-sanction map are not allowed here, since it is easy to deprotect a map and insert some cheat/hack into it.

Cheers.

Note: This is the hard way and yet the best way. As you can see, the AI made by RGB/Lazyfiend involves about 13 thousand lines of codes. So, give respect for those AI makers :)

Cranium basher - bash special ..



bashes stack with diminishing returns, as according to the formula:

1 - ( 1 - A ) * ( 1 - B ) * ( 1 - C ) * ... * ( 1 - X ) = Chance to get at least one bash

where A, B, C and so forth are the seperate chances for each item or skill that can bash / critical strike.
Note that all bashes in the game are rounded to the nearest 5%of chance before calculating them in this formula.


Bashes


When calculating bashes, the result depends on whether you're a melee hero or a ranged hero.
It is true for both however, that if you bash an already stunned unit, the greater of the remaining stun time and the bash time of your bash will be used. That means that a bash can never shorten the amount of time a unit is stunned.

Melee heroes' bashes stack fully,so if two or more bashes occur at once, the longest stun time from all the bashes will be used (bashes never shorten stun time) and all the different bash damages will be added .
The damage is reduced by spell resistance, and eliminated by magic immunity.
The damage is a separate source and therefore does not count to life steal and does not interact with critical s trikes in any way.
Additionally, melee units' bashes have a clear advantage:
The stun part of the bash is NOT eliminated by magic immunity and thereforeyoucan even stun magic immune units, though they will get no additional damage from the bash.
As melee heroes can proc more bashes on one attack, the formula above only gives the chance of having at least one bash( and for that a stun ) per attack. This also means that on melee heroes, the damage output from the bashers are not affected by diminishing returns.
Two bashers means you have 27.75% chance to land at least one bash on the opponent, but 25.5% chance to get one bash and 2.25% chance to get both bashes. Since the damage stacks, this gives as much average damage as 30% chance to bash once.


As for ranged heroes, it's the other way round. The bash damage is added directly to the normal attack damage and therefore it behaves just like any normal damage increase (it's reduced by armour value and armour type, it grants life steal, etc.). The stun part is blockable by magic immunity.However,a ranged hero can not land multiple bashes in one hit - a proc of a later acquired bash will always completely overwrite an earlier achieved one.

There are two other passive skills which can stun for a short duration.The first is Sniper's Headshot, which has a 40% chance to stun for 0.1seconds. The second is MKB, which has a 30% chance to stun for 0.1seconds. It is important to note that these skills will not stack with each other; if two bashes occur at once, only the bash time and damage from the last bash skill or item you got will work.


For easy reference:

On heroes without bash -

1 Cranium Basher : 15% bash
2 Cranium Bashers : 27.75% bash
3 Cranium Bashers : 38.5875% bash
4 Cranium Bashers : 47.79937% bash
5 Cranium Bashers : 55.62946% bash
6 Cranium Bashers : 62.28504% bash

On heroes with 25% bash -
1 Cranium Basher : 36.25% bash
2 Cranium Bashers : 45.8125% bash
3 Cranium Bashers : 53.94062% bash
4 Cranium Bashers : 60.84953% bash
5 Cranium Bashers : 66.7221% bash
6 Cranium Bashers : 71.71378% bash

On heroes with 10% bash (Troll Warlord) -

1 Cranium Basher : 23.5% bash
2 Cranium Bashers : 34.975% bash
3 Cranium Bashers : 44.72875% bash
4 Cranium Bashers : 53.01944% bash
5 Cranium Bashers : 60.06652% bash
6 Cranium Bashers : 66.05654% bash

Dota all stars 6.53 ai+ 1.52 map


Version: ORIGINAL
Category: Unofficial Maps

Description:
This is a port of RGB's AI+ v1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).
DotA Allstars 6.53 AI+ 1.52 Revision 03
---------------------------------------
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 TEMPLAR ASSASSIN, LIFESTEALER, INVOKER, OR CLOCKWERK GOBLIN. THEY WILL GET ITEMS BUT 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 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. 03
=======
-Fixed Invoker from breaking the game when picked
-Redid all of Lanaya's triggers using 6.53 script, hopefully this makes her stop crashing the game (if she still does I don't know what else to try)
-AI Sand King can now properly use Epicenter
-Fixed Clockwerk Goblin being unable to attack his own Power Cogs
-Fixed Rearm
-Fixed Essence Aura
-Fixed icons on Gambler's skills
-AI players that die with a Bloodstone will no longer be renamed "Bloodrune"

-Added the "$" symbol above creep kills on replays and for observers (as in 6.53)
-Changed AI item builds for Terrorblade (Overflow_GR) and Rattletrap (Green_Sliche)
-Updated Old Morphling's spell database to allow stealing Rattletrap's skills

Rev. 02
=======
-Changed the item consumeable code to an updated version of the original AI+ one that makes use of the new item system, which should fix the "return to fountain" bug with AI bots
-Made Clockwerk Goblin unpickable by AI
-Fixed Mana Void animation and damage

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)
-Changed AI item routine for Deathmatch
-Fixed a small bug with Puck respawning with a slightly smaller model size after dying (heh)

6.53 Port of AI+ and Fun Tavern by BuffMePlz.

GAME PLAY

Get Battery first, it's an amazing AoE killer when used properly. Max it first.
Get one level of cage next to trap your opponent and then use battery for an easy first blood if possible.
Get Missle after one level of cage and max it, this is your 'normal nuke'. Max it.
Max cage after Missle, it will keep them close to your Battery longer.

Core Item Build:

1) Bracer(s) OR Vanguard
2) Strength Treads
3) Void(If Going Linkens) OR Bottle
4) TP scrolls (Buy as needed)


Luxury Items:
1) Radiance: Adds AoE Damage for a better battery assault.
2) SnY: Adds Health, Attack Speed, Speed, and Damage for better overall stats.
3) Shiva's Guard: Slow the enemy, add some EHP, and get some more mana.
4) Linken's Sphere: Blocks a disable while charging the enemy and get some more health and mana as well as mana regen.
5) Heart of Tarrasque: More Health, More Damage, More Tankability.
6) Assault Cuirass: More Tankability, More Support, More DPS.



Explanation:

Early game I'd grab two circlets and some tangos if your going bracers, or a stout and some tangos if you're going Vanguard.

I make Bracers or Vanguard first to get a quick health boost as I like diving into enemies (or hookshotting into them) to pull off my combos. Next, I grab boots for the obvious reasons, your speed will be 360 afterwards. That's pretty good.

Next I grab some mana regen because you're starting to gank and don't want to be waiting for any mana. Whatever you want for mana regen is fine, you don't need too much of it so a Bottle or Void usually covers it. Get the Void if you plan on making a Linkens.


Now we're getting into the luxury items. Pretty much take whatever fits your situation and desires.

If you're going Radiance, get it now because it loses it's effectiveness over time.
If you go Radiance, I suggest grabbing one of the health giving items after as everyone will probably focus you even more now.

In place of Radiance you could grab Linkens for the spellblock, mana regen, and health. If you're taking this route be sure to take a Void Stone earlier.

SnY is good for some more health and chasing down enemies. If you're having trouble getting gold it may be easier to get than the others as it comes in small pieces.

After grabbing a health item as a luxury item first, Shiva's Guard or Assault Cuiriass would be a good choice for becoming a tanking initiator.
Shiva's slows down attackers as well as provides you with more EHP through armor and it's AoE damaging slow is always a nice addition. Assault Cuiriass increases your attack speed and EHP as well as increasing the damage done by all of your team.

Strategies:

Trap Rattling

Get close to your victim, activate your battery, then activate your cage. When the cage runs out, keep running next to your enemy, and if possible step in front, hit them, and continue chasing until you get in front, then repeat.


Trap, Rattle, Blast!

Do some Trap Rattling, but missle your own cage while you're in it with your victim for added damage.


Hook, Line, Sinker.
Hook yourself to your victim, activate battery, wait until the stun ends, run alongside your enemy (if they moved), cage, missle the cage. This is your ultimate combo.


Early Game:
Try to get Sentinel Bot or Scourge Top and a disabling lane partner for early game. If you happen to be against their solo then at level 2 have your ally disable them, get behind them and pull off a Trap Rattle from the strategies above. This should net you first blood. Afterwards, stay in your lane to gather last hits and some experience. Don't be afraid to gank once you have a bracer and boots as your abilities are very powerful early.

Mid Game:
This is your time to shine. Gank using the Hook Line, and Sinker combo above whenever you see a hero alone in their lane. Be sure to participate in any team battles and help your allies if they are in trouble. You should complete your core items except for radiance during early and mid game.

Late Game:
Late game becomes more about team battles. Let someone else initiate unless you have a heart, then hookshot a low health target and perform the Hook, Line, Sinker, strategy. Late game you should get a radiance to improve your damage during this or a heart to allow you to better withstand punishment during this.

This skill build is taken from DotaPortal as i haven't try it yet myself, but i will update this guide soon. I hope this can help you and i will like to hear your experience with Rattletrap - The Goblin Clockwerk :)

Dota - all u need to know !


What is Defense of the Ancient (DotA)?
Defense of the Ancient which is commonly known as DotA is a custom map made for Warcraft III through Blizzard Map Editor. It was originally authored for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos which was later unofficial remake for Warcraft 3 expansion pack, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (TFT). Today's version of DotA map is the DotA AllStars, currently being maintained by IceFrog and his fellow development team.


Where do I get woods for the recipe item?
My mailbox was recently flooded by this question and I guess its about time to make this part of the fact. The wood shown on certain recipe scroll actually represent nothing! The item will be automatically converted into the item once every parts that is needed for that recipe is placed in the same inventory. Bottom line, woods is not used in DotA AllStars gameplay.

What is the basic requirement to play DotA AllStars?
In order to play DotA AllStars, you will need a Warcraft III: Frozen Throne installed in your PC and well, the most updated version of it to prevent any ungrateful event such as map loading failure and errors. The latest client version is 1.21.

What are Heroes?
Heroes is a unit that were brought under your control in order to accomplish your mission. A hero can be selected when player starts the game through the Hero Tavern that located at the bottom left corner of your base for the Sentinel side and as for the Scourge player, the Tavern is located at the top right corner of your base.

What are the 3 common stat attributes ?

They are strength, agility and intelligence just as
how they work for Warcraft III. Each hero will have a primary stats attribute (either one of these 3 attribute). These primary attribute will result in bonus attack points when that particular attribute is raised. Here is the common explanation on what these attribute does.
Strength Each point increases your total hit point (HP) and the hit point regeneration rate.
Agility Each point increases your attack speed and armor.
Intelligence Each point increases your mana point (MP) and mana regeneration rate.
I shall not talk further into the specific enhancement value of what each of these attribute will bring to your hero as these value might change in different version of DotA AllStars map.


Where is the Leragas The Vile (Hidden Shop)?
Leragas The Vile or also known as the Hidden Shop since Defense of The Ancient for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was first made. It was placed along the river path with some hidden forest passage that will collapse when someone gets near. Somehow, in DotA AllStars, it was remade and placed on both side of the team's forest. Its rather hard to explain the location verbally, so I've highlighted the location on this map in white





Where is the Sagarel The Evil (Hidden Shop)?
It is rather hard to explain the location verbally, so I've highlighted the two location of 'Sagarel The Evil' on this map in white.
