[QUOTE=Djimii11;43379072]How did you do that? Did you modify the old map or is that a completely different map?[/QUOTE]

After reading that, I say it´s only a matter of time until they make it official.

What exactly is this map a remake of?

My god that is looking more and more beautiful. Is there any chance that that map will get a release and be able to play on?

I'll try to release a playable version with some pudge AI or something soon™

What was the thing holding us back all this time? Was it just compiling maps on the Alien Swarm hammer? I was really interested in getting custom maps to work when we finally got the server dll, but was put off when it didn't seem possible to get one working.

Compiling maps. Also, Wraith Night introduced support for LUA editing so that was massive for mod-makers.

[Terin7]

Is there an IRC channel or community somewhere that's focusing on Dota 2 custom maps?

Ive decided to jump into the map making, but i've ran into a problem. I've pretty much got everything working except i can't see any of the ground for some reason. I'm probably doing a dumb mistake but I can't figure it out. (ignore the ancient effects)

I have the same problem :)

Did you seal your map with a func_brush names structure_seal?

Also, Penguinwizzard updated UpVersion.exe today. You should redownload it from the wiki

I've tried installing the files to create maps as well but I think I've done something horribly wrong. When I replace the alienswarm fgd with the dota2 fgd my hammer editor will either crash or not load if I attempt to do so in gameconfig.

Does it matter where the fgd file is dropped?

Edit - [QUOTE=Kylegar;43412222]We had this issue yesterday. The issue was because it was a html file. Double check the dota2 fgd is not just the html of the github page.[/QUOTE]

edit 4 - Yep I can't believe I overlooked that for 20 minutes even after you told me. The file extension was fgd but opening it showed I had the wrong file. I fixed it by copying and pasting what I should have originally had.

I really want to start working on a custom hero, but I can't even figure out how to run an LUA vscript inside Dota 2. Do I need to start a custom server and then try running the script?

I figured it out, the textures were invisible because i wasnt using a blend texture

I get this error with most of the models, where the materials are missing or messed up. All I see is a white wireframed model.

[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19192947/materials.png[/IMG]

Edit:

Fixed by replacing "GlobalLitSimple" with "VertexLitGeneric" on all models vmts. Running Notepad++ now to do the work.

Join us on IRC, #dota2mods on irc.gamesurge.net

There are a number of people in that channel that can help out with mapping or modding.

[Map in a box]

Going to make a tower defense gamemode with no playing experience of Dota.
