rockinneal/frota

An addon for Dota 2, I intend for it to contain several sub game modes such as Legends of Dota and Random OMG

Frota

An addon for Dota 2, It is a framework for sub game modes. Players connect to a server, then vote on what they would like to play, the most popular choice is loaded, people play it, then voting happens again.

###Current Status###

• One option voting works, it still needs more work to look nice though
• A basic gamemode system is in place
• It has seperate categories for picking / gameplay based gamemodes
• If a gamemode supports scores, they will be shown
• "Version control" is now in place -- clients will be notified if they have an outdated version of Frota

###Gamemode Status###

• All Pick
• You can select your hero from the picking screen
• Legends of Dota
• It has a fully working drag and drop gui
• A ready system is in place, and a time limit for picking exists (2 mins by default)
• There are GUI indicators to show what skills / hero each player has selected
• There is a fully working drag and drop, hero selector
• Pudge Wars
• Players will spawn as pudge if this gamemode is selected
• First team to 10 wins
• Custom hook related stuff is slowly being added, as well as upgrades
• Tiny Wars
• Players will spawn as tiny if this gamemode is selected
• First team to 10 wins
• PvP Arena
• A PvP arena game mode, first team to 10 wins
• Random OMG
• Seems to work, you get a random hero, 3 skills and an ult
• sunstrikewars
• Added header + language files for it
• Lots of hooks need to be added before this game mode can be made
• pureskill
• An unoffical gamemode: Play as mirana with skewer, arrow, meat hook and ice shards.

###How do I use this?###

• Keep in mind it is still in development, and may be buggy
• IMPORTANT Dota will only load the first plugin in your addons folder, to prevent this, move all other addons out of your addons folder. (I moved mine into an addons_disabled folder) - ONLY the host has to do this. This is not required if you use d2fixups
• Download the zip (or clone if you are good enough)
• Stick the files into "Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\addons\Frota"
• If done correctly, the following folder should exist "Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\addons\Frota\HudSRC"
• Reopen dota after each install / update (hud might not update)
• Run the following command
• dota_local_custom_enable 1;dota_local_custom_game Frota;dota_local_custom_map Frota;dota_force_gamemode 15;update_addon_paths;dota_wait_for_players_to_load 0;dota_wait_for_players_to_load_timeout 10;map riverofsouls;
• NOTE If you reach the hero selection screen, it means Frota didn't load correctly! Frota should override / skip the hero selection screen, and take you directly to a vote screen! Please ensure you removed Frostivus (and any other addons) and then restart your client.

###Hooks###

• onPickingStart(frota): When the picking stage is loaded
• onGameStart(frota): When the game actually starts
• assignHero(frota, ply): A player needs a hero to be assigned
• onHeroKilled(frota, killedUnit, killerEntity): A player was killed by something (note: killerEntity could be null)
• onThink(frota, dt): Runs ~every 0.1 seconds, dt is the time since the last think, should be around 0.1 of a second
• onGameEnd(frota): Runs when the game mode finishes, you can do cleanup here
• CleanupPlayer(frota, leavingPly): A player is about to leave and be cleaned up
• NewPlayer(frota, ply): A new player has connected, and been assigned their hero
