Dota 2 modding is coming soon.

Sounds fair to me.
Convert Warcraft 3 into Dota, check.
Convert Dota 2 into Warcraft 4, check.

Why in the world would he recreate DOTA 1 on DOTA 2?

Who's doing that?

if this happens, dota 2 will become a legendary game

but thats just a data converter that makes it readable by dota2 meaning if you want to mod anything youd still have to use world editor, and nothing with the dota2 engine

Not really.

It simply converts the model of the map to Dota 2's map format, which will work in the Hammer editor.

I don't see where the World Editor comes in? Valve should be releasing it's own editor soon which should be like the World Editor.

i didnt know about valve's world editor but i think that blizzard might mind that someone is using their stuff for another game

They're not using anything created by blizzard.

It's just the geometry of the maps that users made in the first place.

I will damn play Footman Frenzy and Pimp my Peon on Dota 2.
Absolutely.

I will hate people who will say "Wow! Dota 1 maps can now be made in Dota 2". But I can love making maps with it, even hearing Dota 2 makes me shiver in anger. I would decide if I will make a "Dota 2" version of DotB or such...But hey, why convert DotA 1 into DotA 2?

better graphix and stuff

 

[PurgeandFire]

I heard about this from a friend. It sounds pretty cool. IMO you only really need the terrain. I don't know if the other things will exactly be 1-1, especially triggers. Maybe you can do objects, but I suppose it depends on Valve's editor.

Sweet, now we can rely on our hopes of achieving an indie wc4! oh wait not really. Not sure how will the coding/triggering process will be, the idea of making RTS on Valve's platform is a good branch out.

 

[StrikerGaming]

why in earth he will mod dota 1 to dota 2 i mean there is already dota 1 but small graphics but suit you self.

That will be high MB

Because some prefer the old school gameplay before dota 2? (I perfer dota 2 tho).
Just as some people here on Hive are recreating WC1 and WC2, hell there are even mods creating Warcraft III on Starcraft II..

But mostly because: they can.
