:nuts: I wonder why no has responded on this thread yet besides me.

Fraud much? It's a zip file, not even a WC file.

It's a 8mb file when dota is less than 4. And it's zipped to.

dota has been unprotected so many times....

Who said it has to go to thehelper? ;)

And if somehow it even did get unprotected, it'd be all over the internet with a lot of... DotA "fans".

It already has been deprotected. Anyway, this thread against the rules and the file probably isn't DotA at all.

Actually the file it's the map itself +out.mpq/listfiles/models/imgs in other words the map itself and the map into "pieces" .

Why would you put it into pieces, it's smaller in a w3x file. Besides why use an unprotected version? There is an open-source version with documentation.

Close thread please.

Because any can have an open source (6.32b) when this is 6.42 unprotected which is much better because open source is not for playing purposes which is not guaranteed that you can save or work properly on it.

That is becouse it is NOT just the unprotected DoTA, also with all the model paths, and all the extracted models it seems.

Here some pictures for all the suspicous ones:

Man.. I feel so ripped off after downloading that "Open Map".. That can't possibly be the real DotA--do they ACTUALLY create *EVERYTHING* with JASS? Does it save room or something? Is there an actual reason to use a trigger instead of just using the in-game spell? Is there a point to using a trigger for Laguna Blade instead of chain lightning? Does it save room?

One more thing: Have I just been swindled?

It is possible that in the current version they create the "pre-placed" units after the load to save load time. Since this "open" version is deprotected, it is likely that the pre-placed units haven't been restored and that the GUI trigger information is lost. Regardless, most if not all of DotA's triggering would be in Jass. It is feasible that they used GUI triggers for some primitive things such as setting maps flags or the time of day or something of that sort.

Is there an actual reason to use a trigger instead of just using the in-game spell?

The in-game spell must be inadequate for the purpose if a trigger is being used.

Is there a point to using a trigger for Laguna Blade instead of chain lightning?

If there wasn't, then they would have used chain lightning (I'm not looking at the map right now, so I can't give a specific reason).

One more thing: Have I just been swindled?

No.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
