What it doesโ€‹

The script is a mod management system for Dota 2. Each mod replaces game files (textures, materials, models, sounds) with simplified or empty versions through file-system redirection. This removes trees, weather, excess spell and attack effects, ambient and voice sounds, and so on from the map.

Each mod is enabled with its own toggle. At the top there is a master State toggle: while it is on, the selected mods are active; turning it off disables all mods at once (the individual mod toggles are not reset).

Important notesโ€‹

  • A map reload is required. Almost all changes only apply after reloading the map (a map restart) โ€” effects do not appear or disappear on the fly.
  • Automatic dependency resolution. A mod can depend on another mod. Currently: enabling Dark Terrain automatically enables Remove Foilage.
  • Mods work independently of each other โ€” any combination can be enabled.
