What is Dota/War3 Theme Manager?

The DotA Theme Manager - short: DTM - is a useful tool that allows you

to change the ingame appearance of your Warcraft III.

It is focused on changing the terrain of DotA, so it might look bad

if you play other maps with the DTM activated, but the appearance can be

restored easily. If you play DotA using the DTM, the terrain looks differently, but gameplay-technical nothing changed - only textures are changed.

The advantage of the DotA Theme Manager: Only you see the changes while you

can still play with other players who do not use the DotA Theme Manager!

The Gallery shows some screenshots of the terrain changes.

 

This information is meant for League- and Community Admins.

 

Some Leagues and Communities are unsure whether they should accept the DotA Theme Manager or not.

They fear that the DTM will somehow affect fairness, for example by making trees easily clickable

or by making enemies standing out due to the contrast with the terrain.

 

To that, I can only say:

-Since I only change the tree's textures, they can be clicked equally well at any time

-I will always keep the program fair - no UI-Hiding, "transparent trees" or anything comparable

-The idea that a hero stands out due to contrast can hardly be called gamebreaking.

In my opinion, you can see heroes good enough in any case - it never happened to me that any hero

suddenly appeared next to me and I just did not see him while he walked to me visibly.

 

I promise to you that the only goal of the DotA Theme Manager is to make DotA visually more attractive

and diversified.

 

If you have any questions regarding fairness, just contact me.

 

Theme Manager v4 ChangeLog :

    *  New theme: Highlands
      A somewhat rocky landscape in the autumn!
    * New theme: City
      Ever wanted to play DotA on pavement and marble? Here you can!
      Originally I planned it to syergyse with a -terrain command, but sadly this
      is not possible in DotA 6.60.
    * Adapted Beach Theme to the green cliffs around the sentinel area
      Instead of the sand cliffs, it now uses angular ruins cliffs,
      fitting to the tiles around it
    * Added optional sunlight weather to Beach
      use -weather snow to activate it
    * UI-only-themes can now be combined with other themes
      Activate a Theme (or leave it default), then activate the UI you want.

    * added flush command to the MPQ Scripts
      This command avoids the permanent size increase of the War3patch.mpq.
      If you used the old versions of the DotA Theme Manager quite often,
      the first use may take some time.
    * changed some details concerning the file replacement,
      including sylk tile replacement with some terrains
      This change slightly decreases the size of the DTM while increasing
      its performance. I will add the sylk table tile replacement to other
      themes later.

Installation Guide

 

Since many people have problems installing the DotA Theme Manager, I advise you to follow the installation guide.

1. Download the newest version of the DotA Theme Manager
2. Unpack* the file IN your warcraft folder - in most cases C:\Program Files\Warcraft III.
You can find the paths the files should have below!
3. DO NOT move or rename any of the files you unpacked. The path must be: "\Warcraft III\DTMV4\"
4. If you want it on your desktop, create a shortcut of the exe file.
5. make sure both your WC3 and your World Editor are closed!
6. Go!
Note: needs to be 'Run as administrator' under Vista to run entirely properly (thanks to Dagguh for this information!).
*) you need WinRAR to unpack it.

 

Paths

 

The DotA Theme Manager uses the following paths for the files:

Warcraft III Folder\DTMV4
-this is the folder you should see when you open your WC3 folder.
In it, you should have:
Warcraft III Folder\DTMV4\DTMV4.exe
-the application itself. Use this executable to start the DotA Theme Manager.
Warcraft III Folder\DTMV4\Data
-the Data-Folder, containing all necessary data the DTM needs to work.
Don't change anything here!
