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.

    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
