I have stopped improving this mod, after an avalanche of "you're killing dota" feedback. Maybe I should have disregarded the loud opinions of $$ invested moddota cunts, content creators, pro-players, slacks and friends, making waves behind reddit aliases. But they are well connected to the scene, and repeatedly tried to push Valve into disabling mods. So I've "disappeared".

Did they finally get their wish? While it seems so, it might just be Valve's janitor fault so I won't raise any pitchfork.

• This mod started out with -lv launch option (for dota_lv folder).

• Was removed I think with Source 2.

• Switched to -language but that one was less convenient _(to override english and keep ui language files & etc had to invent stuff like -language english% with dota_english% folder)_.

• So I've introduced the better -tempcontent and has been fine for years. Other mods adopted it. Now that's gone. Guess we go back to the cumbersome -language as it appears to still work fine. Winter is here, so the soon™ No-Bling update, is happening.

@AveYo there's no way you actually came back XD and giving an update for this project, i think im dreaming. But for now is there a safe fix for mod ?

Hex editing client.dll like Wolf49406 does has always been a huge no-no for VAC

-language switch has always been VAC safe

If Valve wants to really kill modding, they can block resource loading outside dota I'm not sure is something they want, tho. So I'm gonna update the mod and see if they take further action.

create your own community and surround yourself with like minded people, no point of trying to win the respect of computer illiterate scrubs on reddit. And as for the moddota crowd, I just take advantage of them haha when they get suspicious of me asking questions about editing props and terrain and stuff in the dota map I just say it's some how related to a custom map project.

If you make a forum I'll share all my mods there.

Please don't make from this Issues forum the scum forum.

AveYo ! My Dear ! My saver ! Maybe my love (just joke). I'm tired of play Dota 2 with so many new skins FOR YEARS ! I've used your mod to get back DEFAULT Dota 2 for years. But it's in the past for now. Please tell me. Do we have a solution somewhere inside the global web to get back DEFAULT Dota 2 skins in 2024?

Maybe some of Dota2skinChangers can do it? Maybe you'll be back and make update of your beautiful NO-BLING? Please. Answer. I'm calling you. My Discord nickname is MadSochi (if you wish to talk inside Discord).
