Needed linux script

[shpinog]

It would be great to have a script for linux

[AveYo]

Guess so.. care to help with that? :)
On the long run I wanted to move to powershell, and that would mean it could run on both Linux and MacOS. But there is not much interest to the Windows version, you could imagine the Linux interest until your post.. not so much.
I won't make any promises, but it could happen. Mean time you can use the pre-made builds just fine.

Im use pre-made builds, copy file to dir, but nothing has changed, 0 effect, and in English and Russian.I use linux

[AveYo]

maybe this would help

[ConnahGriffin]

I'm just here to state that I'd also love the linux version

Im use pre-made builds, copy file to dir, but nothing has changed, 0 effect, and in English and Russian.I use linux

Same issue here, I have copied the binary (tried all 3 versions) in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota_tempcontent, and added -tempcontent to the launch options, but I can still see all hats in game.

Running dota in english on ubuntu 18.10. Nothing in the console log either.

Works just fine on my end, ubuntu 19.04, mod installed in: /home/x/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota_tempcontent/pak01_dir.vpk

DOTA log:

+1 the mod works on Pop_OS as well, but I don't know if the linux script is working - I used built vpks.

[Moanrisy]

this is not working on my linux, is this because I use custom steamapps directory?

Im not usinng the defaultl steamapps directory (.locall//share/Steam...)

[eVen-gits]

Depends on what is not working for you. If you are thinking about the script, there are various reasons - mainly because it's written in batch (.bat).

If you mean the prebuilt packages, then they are working, you just have to move them to the correct path and enable them.

If you are trying to run the batch script in Wine environment, it will work somewhat - you need to tweak environment variables which contain paths and replace some commands, but even then I am not sure if it'll work - I didn't manage to get the builder to work under linux.

[Moanrisy]

can you tell me what environment variable that i need to correct?

[eVen-gits]

Not by heart, sorry.

You can run it in terminal like so: wine cmd /c file.bat

It will print out the errors. But as I said, even if you fix the paths manually, it won't work, at least not in my experience. Use the prebuilt .vpk files which you can find here

[Moanrisy]

I already use .vpk files from that directory but it not work, already set -tempcontent too in dota 2 launch

[eVen-gits]

Where did you place the .vpks and which ones did you use? And what is/isn't working?

like this one

[eVen-gits]

Well the directory is correct if you game is actually located there. If you have a custom steam library path, you have to copy it into that dirrectory.

So in my example, it would be /home/<uname>/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota_tempcontent.

In your case, it would be <your_steam_library_path>/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota_tempcontent.

[Moanrisy]

sorry for my lack of detail, but I already add folder dota_tempcontent(with vpk) in my steam library path.

maybe because my steam library path not default so I try to symlink the folder but not working

ln -s /mnt/655e643e-4b45-43ae-a2b5-fa4ce39ce4c1/ssteamlibrary/steamapps /home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps

[Moanrisy]

it's working now, the VIP01 in BUILDS/++ working well, buut BUILDS/full (not working).

work great on my arch :)

Thank you @eVen-gits for assisting @mohammadanton 💯

New build is up, with improved filters!
Also updated readme with info on how to quickly get to the correct dota 2 beta folder:

If you have trouble locating the path, right-click Dota 2 in Steam Library window - Properties - Local files - Browse local files
That should lead you to \steamapps\common\dota 2 beta
Enter game subfolder, then create folder dota_tempcontent and copy pak01_dir.vpk in there

Linux script is up, feedback welcomed!
Tested on manjaro-xfce + mono

[eVen-gits]

I'll try to check it up in the future. I am no longer playing the game so I don't have it installed, but I'll try to run the script and contribute if possible.

Thank you for your care and work!
