dota2-minify's Introduction

Dota 2 Minify

All in one smart patcher for Dota2 to install all types of mods

✔️500+ Spells Simplified • ✔️8,000+ files modded • ✔️Boost FPS • ✔️Creator Toolkit

💁 Is this safe to use?

This open-source project has been around for over 3 years with thousands of downloads and users. While binaries are offered for ease of use, anyone can compile it themselves.

Nobody has ever been banned either. This project focuses on mods -- NO hacks, utilizing Valve's approved methods (VPK loading) for creating assets, as documented on the official Valve Wiki. Historically Valve just disabled problematic assets from loading and never punished modders. Worst thing that can happen is a mod stops working and that's it.

📚 Developing Your Own Mods

You can create your own mods with Minify

The wiki will teach you the basics of working with steam files and more.

Once you get comfortable with the workflow you can use Minify to easily patch latest files from Dota2 and always have your mods updated.

📂 Minify File Structure >> tutorial

Name	Description
`Files`	Compiled files you want to pack (Models, Meshes, Textures...etc)
`blacklist.txt`	Paths to files to replace with blanks so they wont appear in game (Particles, Sounds...etc)
`styling.txt`	Custom CSS you want to apply to the Panorama (Interfaces, Layouts, HUD's...etc)
`notes.txt`	Optionally include this file to have a details button beside your mod for users to read.

dota2-minify's Issues

Tree mod doesnt work for now.

It says "VAC detected modified files". I think this probably Dota2Patcher issue.

Feature Request: Disable Tipping

Hi,

I would like to suggest a new feature to Minify.

Is it possible to disable the tipping(UI element, animation, sounds...)?

Cheers

Dota2 must be in your Steam folder

Hello all Minify detects where your Steam is installed then looks for dota2 in that folder. So if you installed dota2 outside your steam folder then Minify will not work.

This will be fixed soon.

Cant use the use minify.exe on my windows 7

I get this error The instruction at 0xfd551b44 referenced memory at 0x000000000. The memory could not be written

fix dota2 issue if possible

hi
pls check if you can fix this issue: ValveSoftware/Dota2-Gameplay#17942

valve trying to fix gameplay bugs and really don't care about this one and now we can't play for more than 3 weeks

i know it is because my low end pc but maybe you can do some optimization on match loading

(it happen after act2 and patch 7.36)

Unable to boot Dota 2 due to a Battle Pass Reward issue.

When booting up Dota 2, I would get the error message below.

It doesn't always happen, but when it does, it locks me out of the loading screen. After that, the game would validate on its own. Even after the files have been validated (and after running Minify and Dota2Patcher), it would throw this error.

How to Recreate:

Open Minify and patch game.
Open Dota2Patcher and Patch Gameinfo (option 4)
Open Dota 2 from Steam.

Documents folder needs to be in C: drive

Make sure you have your Documents folder in C: drive if Minify doesn't start.
https://www.cedarville.edu/insights/computer-help/post/how-to-set-default-document-folder-location-in-windows

You can also just create this file in this path yourself.

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\dota2path_minify.txt

I'll fix this next version.

a small update earlier broke the minify patch

I uninstalled the mods for now to play the game

Dota 2 crashes mid match, during tense moments

Hi there, your minify project has really breathed life into my old PCs for Dota 2, much thanks and respect for your project. Since few days dota 2 is crashing mid fights or during initiation when i am using some parts of the minify Mod. I have 3 crash dump files which point at some data that might be associated with your mod. I have appended the important parts of the dmp below. I have also provided the complete crash dmp files if you need them.
crash_dota2.exe_20240728044510_1.dmp
crash_dota2.exe_20240728183528_1.dmp
crash_dota2.exe_20240728200131_1.dmp

My settings fo the Mod are: Auto Accept Match, Dark Terrain, Default Menu Background(I deleted the folder that was causing problems on the other issue), Dotabuff in Profiles, Minify Base Attacks, Minify Spells and Items, Misc Optimization, Mute Ambient Sounds, Remove Foilage, Remove Sprays, Remove Weather Effects
