Dota 2 Editor ?

[jonhysone]

Hi hivers!

Time to discuss about the new tool that valve has released for Dota 2

Discuss about :

1- Did you try the game ?
2- Did you try the tool ?
3- Is it good enough to exceed Warcraft 3's editor, regarding to its limits ...?
4- Was releasing this tool a failure or a big success ?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes, regarding its limits.
4. Too early to tell.

Blizzard's tools are made much better, though. You know the unit editor in War 3? No such thing in D2, you have to edit a text file.

No trigger editor either, need to code all of that in another text file. This one isn't so bad if you code mostly in JASS.

Dota 2 definitely has potential to be the next Warcraft 3, I'm just hoping that Valve makes some tools for editing data and triggers.

So is it worth to buy ? Although the behavior of the editor isn't like the one that Warcraft has,

You don't have to buy it, it's free! You can download it whenever.

If you are willing to put the effort in to learn it, I would definitely recommend it.

Warcraft 3 Editor: Object Editor + Triggers.

Dota 2 Editor: Lua lua lua and Hammer Editor.
Which one is better? Depens on what you prefer.

lol were probably just gonna see a lot of wc3 maps on it like legion td and some income based rip offs ... just like in sc2

Yeah, that seems to be the case so far.

It's sad when people copy everything verbatim
