Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. But yeah, Valve changed the whole custom game interface a while ago, don't remember exactly when (a few years?).

You now install custom games by going to the Arcade tab and either browse for popular games (Arcade / Browse at the top center) or by searching (Arcade / search field at top right).

Both options will lead you to the game page, where it shows the game details and a button to Install it. Once you've installed it, the button changes from Install to Play.

All of your installed games will now appear in the Library sub-tab (top center) on the Arcade tab. Selecting any game from there will also show the game page, where you can start playing, you don't need to keep searching every time.

I m not talking about the mob, i m saying that online you can find only a bunch of very old guides. For me it took 30-40 minutes to find the right method(i was just clicking everything).
The old method is to go to the play page - custom game - choose a map
The actual method is to go to the arcade - search - invokation - play
Thank you for the great training map btw

It's as simple as launching any custom game from Dota2's Arcade.

You sure you're on the right workshop page? This mod isn't 10 y.o and never required anything special to launch.

Maybe you can write a small guide on how to launch this map, because there is only a 10y.o. video on the Internet and I didn't manage to start the map.

Yeah... these descriptions are actually missing. Some of the text in the game is just placeholder text that is commonly used in development (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) .

I have planned to do a localization/text content rework and with that actually take the time to fill in missing descriptions. Maybe even remove them completely, because if some of these were filled right now, it would just be some repetitive text saying something like "cast spell X" or "use item Y" since some of these steps don't actually need detailed descriptions.

I could not help but notice that the details for each combo is in a completely different language. Is there anyway to get these details in English?
neuromanc:r  [author] Jun 2, 2024 @ 4:13pm 
It should be fixed now. Let me know if not
Chuckles Jun 2, 2024 @ 11:48am

sneesnooo Apr 30, 2024 @ 8:36am 
doesnt work
neuromanc:r  [author] Feb 26, 2024 @ 1:16am 
They are all placeholder since the creation of the game that I was too lazy to actually write. Combos are pretty self-explanatory though, just cast the spells in the correct order.
Vale Feb 23, 2024 @ 6:58pm 
hey why are all the instructions in latin? am i missing something?
neuromanc:r  [author] Dec 20, 2023 @ 1:46am

the spells dont match the skills light up... for instance im supposed to snap tornado and its telling me to level exort.

The custom game doesn't highlight spells to be leveled up, this is done by the in-game guides feature.

I don't know if there's a way to disable guides from the custom game configuration, but I'll look into it. Also, if it's possible to emulate the guides inside the custom game, it would be nice to have this in the game too, I'll look into it too.

DeChefski Jan 16, 2023 @ 11:27am 
the side bar doesnt work at the moment :BL3Shrug:
Phased Jan 14, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
This worked roughly a week ago, now the menu on the left side has no functionality whatsoever. All you can do is level one level of exort and wander. If you're still updating this, it would be great!
Nootzz Jan 13, 2023 @ 4:10pm 
This game doesn't seem to work. Once joining a game there is literally nothing to do. No instructions whatsoever.
Hiragana Jun 26, 2022 @ 3:15am 
thanks cool mini game
Kkomageul's Greatest Daddy Nov 22, 2021 @ 7:59am 
I managed to play a solo game of this just now. It would be nice if this also trained us for timing the spells and items instead of just invoking the right ones and using the right items. Kind of like the "official" tutorials for disjointing spells or dodging Mirana arrows. Ths could be a minigame in itself with escalating difficulty from trench level enemy reaction times to maybe pro level reaction times. If only I knew how to make those kinds of custom maps, I'd happily contribute to this project.

Good work, author

thx, my bad about declining the game even if it was a missclick
neuromanc:r  [author] Oct 25, 2021 @ 7:13am 
1 hour ban for decline the game, are you serious man?

This is a restriction imposed by Valve on all (AFAIK) custom game lobbies to avoid an abuse where bots where used to grief certain custom game lobbies (bot joined lobby and auto-declined when game was ready, then joined another lobby again, doing this for every lobby, effectively impeding actual players from playing those games).

I'll check if it's possible to disable this, but if I remember correctly, it isn't, even for singleplayer maps, which is very stupid and frustrating (I myself got blocked recently when I created a custom lobby with password only for myself and rejected the match cause I created with wrong settings).

My suggestion is to NEVER reject the match when the green ACCEPT button appears, it will get you banned from custom games for a while.
