Half-Life 2 mod |

The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived.

Dota Source is a mod for the source engine (duh) that is based around warcraft 3's map dota. It is a idea that i have had for a long time and am now finally turning into a actuall mod with the help of others. We plan to remodel everything to avoid to much legal issues and up the detail. There will be alot of new content with over 60 heroes and literally 100's of spells and many many items. Sorry but i have (finally) officially named this mod dead due to lack of development mostly due to us discovering Heroes Of Newerth about a year ago. Its like dota on its own engine, pretty well done.

Again i just wanted to thank all the people interested in this mod and posting comments, keep it up! It inspires me to have so much enthusiasim, and i will take this chance to remind you that if you have any sort of modding skill and are interested in joining this mod's dev team please contact me, (NZNobody) about joining. We moastly need coders, modelers and concept artists / character inventors (i'll get to why later).

So to reward your enthusiasim i will upload both the dota basshunter song and the great well known dota vid, The Endless story which in my opinion is still the best dota vid ever. Also as a reward i will reveal some of our new goals!

A decision which came very hard to make but had to be made because of legal issues is the descision to NOT COMPLETELY copy WC3's models but to create our own off spring of them and this is legal as one can not copyright 'Night-elfs on giant tigers' ( ... yes im doing the moonpriestess as i love her hopping move :P ). I hope this does not spark to much disorder but it had to be done as to avoid being shut down by blizzard in later stages.

Another major issue i have is camera, i think i will put it up for vote and discussion but i can decide weather to lock it to your hero (WoW) or allow you to look away from your hero (WC3) currently im sitting more on the WoW version as i think it will add a interesting twist to the game and more surprises but please feel free to comment / suggest any ideas you have and or attend our suggestion meeting :P

A issue which i have to discuss with some coders is spells. I HAVE NO clue how we are going to do them but they will be like 2nd or 3rd on our list of things to do (after getting models and a semi dota map).

Righto so theres some hefty news for you!
