DotA 6.54b with cheats (+amh covered map/ai map)

[initialD]

all right. I just pass by and with my tools ready.
So you are lucky I gonna do it.

Fai's cp version 2.1b
SgGUy's menu version 1.3

Some functions on fai's can't be used because of the AI system blocking it. Somehow all other commands on Fai's cp and the menu are ok.

How you do it? I deprotected dota with X-Dep, have added in a map cheats, all apprx. In single game they work. And in a local network or in BNet writes that the size of a map big.

If the map is larger than 4mb, then it can't be used by Battle.net. Single, sure, LAN, sure, but they won't let you lag up their servers. Use an optimizer on it, like Vexorian's Optimizer, or HeavyLocker.

Hey I'm new, and i was wondering if i was using any of these faked dota maps. How will it work?

Say if im hosting a 5 v 5 game. The team members are all randoms. Say if i want to activate the cheat.. i will have to type in "-cheat<space><space>". Once i typed that, the randoms in my group will see it?

And they will know im cheating? Is there a way to prevent this?

I type it in as how you usuualy chat to allies or to all, by pressing Enter. So:

Press enter
Type in code. (-cheat<space><space>)

if you don't want anyone to see that you cheated,
-press F12
-select "to observers"
-press "ok"
-then type "cheat<space><space>"

thats what I do so that nobody can see the activator for the cheats

I don't understand how this works.
Everyone has a certain DOTA already. Do i need to host a game, and anyone with the real DOTA can join and play that, or can I join a game and use the edited map instead of the real one?

You need to host the hacked one. Then, people who already have it (or those who don't), will need to download it, and then they'll be able to play it. Everyone needs to have the same version, and if you want it to have cheats, they all gotta be playing the hacked map.

Wouldn't that be hard?

Say like if v6.54b has been released 3 weeks ago. And your hosting v6.54b (cheated version) and people connecting to your game notice that they are downloading the same map again. They may notice that this is a fake cheated map.

Then they wont join it etc.. Its too obvious.
Im just presuming that this will happen. Is there a way to prevent this?

I just want it to be like, when you host people join and wont notice a thing that this is a cheated map.

initialD has a method. I guess it was in the last version, it's floated down by now. It's a pretty original idea, plus entertaining.
Create an account with a girl's name. Host the game. People join, think you're a girl, start asking for IM address/phone number/photos/MySpace/FaceBook/whatever. They don't notice that they're downloading, because they're busy with that. Then, their download finishes, and they never noticed the difference. Keep the filename the same, so that they still see the picture, so that doesn't clue them in.

Or, my method, download two, copy one into the same folder as the other, and let your OS auto-rename the one. Then, use that! Just tell them the truth about why it's named that way: You downloaded two, and one was automatically renamed, you didn't notice, and when you're going to host it, you really can't tell the filenames of maps. If you feel it necessary, offer to rm. They won't want to have to find another one, easier to deal with downloading it.

Neither method is always successful, but it's slightly easier to pull off initialD's: no explaining to everyone. Plus it's hilarious.
