Dota 6.58 AI Plus - Dota-Allstars 6.58 AI Plus Map Download Section

Dota 6.58 AI Plus - Dota-Allstars 6.58 AI Plus Map Download Section. Dota 6.58 has two major changes on hero, Dirge the Undying and Storm Spirit. And it will be nice to test new strategies for those two in the Dota 6.58 AI map. Here will be the place for sharing info for Dota 6.58 AIPlus map, especially if there's update from BuffMePlz.

Here is what BuffMePlz -Dota AI porter- said about porting Dota 6.58 AI (13 Jan 2009):

6.58 is out, and I've started some of the porting work over (but probably won't be done for a while). However, I'll probably use 6.57b for my own AI tinkering, so any potential proof-of-concept maps will be with 6.57b.

I'll try to keep up porting in the meantime, so the community will at least have something to play/practice/pwn bots on. I doubt I'll be able to maintain two separate maps in the long run though, so we'll see how this project turns out.

Update (14 Jan 2009):

Apparently, working on the map while watching episodes of House is able to consistently keep me up beyond what I normally should.

House is such a fantastic show. Though I just finished Season 4...talk about a killjoy. Now I'm super-depressed.

Ah well, on the upside, I've finished all of the hero and item updates from 6.58 except for new Undying. I'll probably leave off the game modes and extra commands and stuff for later.

Woohoo! Bed time.

Yeah, looks like our AI is coming closer! :)

Update (15 Jan 2009):

Good news:
Finished updating all the hero and item content from 6.58. As far as regular gameplay, 6.58 is more or less done.

Bad news:
New Overload and Flesh Golem require rewrites, for the same reason Meld, Tidebringer, and Focus Fire needed them. Basically, more work for me. Sad face =(

Update (17 Jan 2009):

Things left to do (that may or may not be in before Rev. 1):
-Experimental -switch command
-Changes to -vr/-mr
-New -mines and -mc commands
-Misc sounds (-quote sounds from 6.57b, fun sound for techies)
-Some bug fixes
-Replay stuff (I don't care about this and it probably will never make it in)

I'll probably be testing this with some buddies over the weekend. Unless we find something completely gamebreaking, we should have some form of the map up for download by the end of the weekend. =)

Dota-Allstars 6.58b AIplus Rev. 1

Dota 6.58 Pictures and Images (Updated!)

Wow, glad to have Dota 6.58 Map. This post will be place for sharing picture of the beta official map. Just post your favourite picture of Official Dota-Allstars 6.58 Map changes and i will show it here. Anyway, i love the new Chronosphere :)

1. The most unique changes and i should say this rather imba!

Holy Shit! Even a nearly dead tower can be recovered with this skill! Giving Regeneration and Additional Armor to tower is a rather bit controversial i think ^_^"

2. I love this new Venomancer skill, Venomous Gale. Can be used to creeping ;p


3. The new Wave of Terror for Vengeful Spirit is fun too! It's easier to combined with Swap.


And here is some cool cosmetics changes:

New Glyph of Fortification

Dirge with his minions

Dirge Tombstone

New Luna Eclipse, Cool!

Dirge turn into Flesh Golem

Well, that's some changes i like on Dota 6.58. I put different post for changes on Storm Spirit and Dirge. What about you? You can share it here and maybe i can put it here too :)
