Removal of "-override_vpk"

[Doni]

I guess we are dommed. I couldn't queue for normal/ranked unless I removed that string from my launch options.Sad day for all anime fans.
- The use of –override_vpk is no longer allowed in matchmaking games in order to prevent gaining a competitive advantage

RIP D: hopefully gets changed or something as it destroys modding in general.

Though you still need to use -enable_addons to see custom spell icons for some reason.

Is there Linux version of this archiver?

You can still get Dota to load your custom stuff by packing it into a VPK with the vpk.exe of Source Film Maker and adding the folder with your VPK in it to gameinfo.txt
Put the contents of the sabermod folder in your dota 2 beta directory (not the dota directoy that is inside this one). It should ask you to override gameinfo.txt, confirm.
Also set enable_addons in your launch options

Hmm the way that guy did it in the video was way easyer. What advantage did your method gives compared to it?

T.T Why gabe why....

-override_vpk still works in matchmaking if you are in a party and you are not the one to queue.

@C@s†ёr
It should (not 100% sure tho) update safe, so you don't have to redo it on each dota patch.

And if u mess somthing up u have to download all the original files from scratch? No, thank you.

[the_parrot_is_dead]

No you dont, thats the point.
When you use Dota2slasher like in the video you have to validate your dota to remove the mods and also they will most likely get overriden in case of an update.
