How to use the app

  1. Download Dota2ModEnjoyer.exe and start it. It is one file, with nothing to install.
  2. Close Dota 2 if it is open. The app finds the game by itself.
  3. Choose a hero and click what it should wear.
  4. Press Play. Your picks are put in the game and Dota starts.

The first time, Windows may say "Windows protected your PC", because the file is not signed with a paid certificate. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Only you see your picks, and you do not need to own the items.

The app being used: finding a hero, picking a set and a courier, and the list of picks

What you can change in Dota 2

  • Every hero's items, as whole sets or piece by piece, with their styles.
  • Ability effects, such as an immortal's Blade Fury on a plain sword.
  • Personas, without owning them (an experiment).
  • The courier, ward, terrain, weather, music, announcer, HUD, loading screen and more.
  • Effects of past events, such as teleports, Blink Dagger and emblems. They go on the heroes you picked something for, and Settings can make that every hero.
  • Other trees, an event's look for the whole map, and a mode for low-end PCs (experiments).

Just type to search, for heroes, items and sets. My picks lists everything you picked. There you can save your picks as a preset, and Share copies a short code that a friend pastes under Use a code to get the same look.

App updates

The app updates itself. When a new version is out, an Update button shows on the left. One click downloads it and starts it again, and your picks stay. CHANGELOG.md lists what each version changed.

After a Dota update, start Dota with Play in the app. Steam updates Dota by itself, and that undoes half of the app's changes until Play puts them back.

Troubleshooting help

Most problems are fixed by checking the game's files in Steam. Right-click Dota 2, then Properties, Installed Files, Verify integrity of game files. Then press Play in the app again.

Report opens a new report on the GitHub page with the details filled in, and the name of your Windows account left out. It needs a free GitHub account. Without one, Copy details copies the same text.

Report a problem
A pick does not show

Unequip your own item in that slot in your Dota loadout.

An item has a small "!"

Dota no longer has some of its files, so a part of it may not show.

Dota says Valve Anti-Cheat could not verify your machine

Close Dota, press Back to normal Dota, and look for a match again.

Picked heroes show as "ERROR"

Do not change video settings during a match. It is fine again next game.

Nothing changes in Dota

Dota was running when you pressed Play. Close it and press Play again.

Virus scans of the app

Every release is scanned on VirusTotal before it goes out. Each link opens the full result for that file. A release that Microsoft's scanner flags is not put out.

Questions

Does it collect any data?

No. Its one request to the internet asks GitHub whether a new version is out.

Can I get banned?

Nobody can promise that you cannot. The app never touches the running game and gives no advantage in a match.

How do I undo everything?

Press Back to normal Dota. It puts the game's files back exactly as they were.

What does it change?

It adds a folder, game\mod_enjoyer, and a few lines to game\dota\gameinfo_branchspecific.gi and game\bin\win64\dota.signatures. Copies of the originals are kept in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dota2ModEnjoyer\backup.

Command line and building the app

dme.exe does the same from a terminal. dme status, dme apply axe.weapon=5675, dme play and dme restore are the main commands, and dme --help lists the rest.

To build the app you need Rust. Run cargo build --release. docs/DEVELOPING.md has the rest, and docs/SPEC.md explains how it works.
