Disclaimer

This is just a hobby project and using any of the provided code / files is at your own risk!

In my interpretation, this UI mod falls under the category of "Cosmetic UI mods" which should not result in VAC ban (see for example: link). But to reiterate, using it is your own responsibility.

I will remove the download links if the DAC developers request me to do so.

Note: the lite version of the mod does not include any of the code relating to the draw probabilities, so it is on the safer side (I guess).

Instructions + download links

You can install the mod following these steps:

1. Download the version with the modifications you want:
   a. Full version: Gold to level up + PVE Warning + Draw probabilities
   b. Lite version: Gold to level up + PVE Warning
   c. Full version + Tier indicator (Tiers from qihl.gg tier list)

2. Find your Dota 2 installation directory
   For example: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta

3. Create a folder called custom_dac_ui in the game folder
   For example: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\custom_dac_ui

4. Copy the pak01_dir.vpk file that you downloaded in step 1 into the custom_dac_ui folder

5. Open the gameinfo.gi file located in the game > dota folder with a text editor (e.g. notepad)

6. Modify the gameinfo.gi file by adding the following two lines:

Two notes:
a. The positioning of the lines is important
b. Any major Dota 2 updates might reset the gameinfo.gi file, if that happens just repeat step 5 and 6

Acknowledgements

When developing this mod I used the work of some other developers to figure out how to accomplish it:

• The Divine UI Source repository
