Fake DOTA Maps
There are a few people that have been spreading fake maps. The 6.42 that is floating around the net is not even a leaked beta, it is a fake map with hacks. Official maps will always be posted first on getdota.com, if you don't find it there then don't download it.

-----------

Someone posing as Icefrog posted one of these fake maps on the map server and I notice that some sites link to this site even though we removed that file once we found out it was fake.

How can they hack a protected map, though?

Is it possible?

Yes, it's really not very hard. Vex's Optimizer is the only one that makes it difficult, because you can't tell which settings were enabled when it was used.

"If Warcraft 3 can read the map so you can play it, so can anyone else."

You didnt notice the thread about 6.32b which also has a link to the 6.41 deprotected?







The data that the game reads for playing the map is all you need to reconstruct basic editor files.

Can't you mess with triggers and stuff, to make it crash WE when you open the map? Or something similar?

No. Nothing in a functional trigger set will crash wc3 when u open the map. Besides, the triggers must be uncorrupted or the map wouldnt play.

Hence why reassembling war3map.j into triggers works.

Generally, people corrupt certain files or mess with data tags to protect maps, so that they cannot be opened in World Editor. This is why you do not open them in WE, but you use MPQ Editing programs to restore the corrupted files or fix the tags. It's not easy unless you understand the Wc3 file structure and layout.

btw some unofficial dota maps are really good, the AI that is created by AI+ RGB, its much more challenging compare to cloud_str AI

oh ya, i can't find any good tutorial on theHelper.net about AI tutorials
the one currently residing in this site isn't much help, someone need to
reupdate it (to teach user how to make enemy hero learn the skill/cast the
spell and so on/escape when hp is low/attack enemy when their hp is low)

Looks like Icefrog aint out of it. I was at epicwar.com and theres an obviously cracked version up for dl, dota 6.41 snowy.

Has exactly 400 downloads at time of this post, and says it was uploaded today (and, at least for me, its hella early morning aka 1:30 atm).
Ouch.

If you hack dota, it won't be dota anymore.
It will be a fake dota.
Playing dota with hacks = using cheats such as maphack. (I have no idea how that works, though. Mainly because I have never tried it myself.)
Apparently it gives you vision of the whole map, or the vision of all the players. Either way, it's cheating.

And yes, what is the point of playing if you're just going to cheat anyway? :S

Find me someone who plays DotA and doesn't enjoy feeling superior and you will have found a liar. Winning is just about always more enjoyable than losing.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
