Dota 2 Arcade Assets And Content
Overview
Use this skill for Dota 2 content and asset pipeline issues. Keep content authoring assets distinct from runtime game scripts and KV files.
File Scope
content/: source-side maps, models, materials, particles, sounds, and Panorama resources.game/: runtime scripts, KV, compiled scripts, and files loaded by the game.content/panorama: XML, CSS, images, and UI resources.game/scripts/npc: KV references to models, particles, sounds, icons, and abilities.
Workflow
- Identify whether the problem is source asset authoring, runtime path reference, or packaging/build output.
- Locate every reference to the asset path before renaming or moving files.
- Keep model, material, particle, sound, and UI image paths consistent with Dota 2 conventions used by the project.
- For ability assets, check both KV and script-side precache or particle/sound usage.
- For map assets, check Hammer/map source paths and runtime launch assumptions.
- Test in game because many asset failures only appear in console or as missing visuals/sounds.
Asset Types
- Particles: verify particle file path, control points, attachment points, cleanup, and precache.
- Models/materials: verify model path, material dependencies, hitboxes, animations, and unit KV references.
- Sounds: verify sound event definitions and script/KV playback path.
- Maps: verify map name, launch command, Hammer source, and addon packaging.
- Panorama resources: verify XML/CSS/image paths under
content/panorama.
Documentation
Use ModDota assets, assets/maps, assets/models, and assets/particles articles for examples. Use project-local asset references as the primary source of naming conventions.
