DotA PM Patch HOW?

[GM_reggie]

For those who doesn't know, this is a map that gives you advantages in-game with its edited terrain. I just wanted to know how this map was made, what were the files added to the map? Thanks.

PM patch? what?

You mean files replaced.

[GM_reggie]

You mean files replaced.

yeah..

Most files can be replaced and it wont matter much, the map wont download itself as it has all the needed data.
You can try by taking any map and replacing its loading screen image. Youll see the added loading image while others see the default, same for sound files. I have released my version of DotA which had Duke Nukem Sound Pack in-it (from HoN).
This map just has a terrain change

Is it possible for you to tell me all the files that was replaced? If you find it too hard then its ok.

I didnt check, but from what I played on this map, I think its only the terrain, but from all the stuff he got there he probably has some kind of an editor as he changed the map in alot of ways (like the day/night mechanic).

You might wanna compare the size of the files and see what has been changed, just open 2 MPQMasters at the same time, one for each map, and compare the size of the files. No biggy.
