Dota 2 Offline Guide

The only way to play DOTA 2 offline is to use srcds dedicated server with metamod and d2fixups plugin. All this are license using GNU Public License.

Well, why play offline ? If your campus internet block steam and dota 2 port like mine or your internet is lagged or you just want to have fun, well this is the easy way.

To manage the server, you are required to enter several command into the server window. 

In my spare time I have a made a GUI to simplify and help those who are not very tech minded people to easily setup the server.

Any version update, I will update link on this post.

A) Preparation for Offline Play (Skip this if you already enable dota 2 console) :

First thing first, this is to enable dota 2 console for each player :

2) Properties window will appear, then click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS...
