Dota 2 - Changing Suggested Items Program

I was bored and decided to make this program. All items and hero that are in the game work in this program.

If you see any mistakes let me know

You will need java to be able to run this program

Video Instructions:
Dota 2 change suggested Items - YouTube

I will be updating this program as new heroes/items are being released.

====================Updates======================= ==
12/3/2011 -- Added feature to view what items are currently listed in the suggested items on the hero. Added the new hero Lifestealer

12/6/2011 - Fixed skeleton king not properly saving item build

12/9/2011 - Added new Hero Death Prophet
====================Instructions=========================
If this is your first time launching the program - you must set the directory to to the dota folder
(The location is stored in the C drive, if you don't have a volume called C - this program will probably not work, if you really want it, email me and I'll adjust it for you)

Once you set the directory you never have to do this again, unless you reinstall steam to a different location, or delete the dotaItem.txt file in your C drive

After setting the directory, choose a hero and start setting the items.
-Right clicking on the mouse will remove the icon you set on that field
-You do not have to fill all the positions
-you don't have to search for the full name
-an empty search field will bring all the items/characters back on the interface -press enter or hit the search button on the empty field

After you have finished customizing your hero, hit Run----Edit Hero -if this is your first time editing that hero, the program will create a backup of that hero before changing.

once, you get prompted "finished creating item customization)" you are good to go, and your hero has the newly created recommended list.

If you want to go back to the original you can either, separately restore each hero with the Run---Restore File, or you can select Run---Restore All Files and restore every file that was edited by the program back to the original content.


If for some reason my program is not creating backups or wont restore the original file. You can go to your steam client ----Right click Dota 2 ----properties ----Local Files ---- Verify Integrity of Game Cache --This option will restore everything to the way it was.

if this does not work, then go to your dota/itembuild folder and delete the heroes that are not restoring back to normal and rerun the instructions above, and it will restore everything back to normal.

But I have been using my program, as well as a couple other people for testing, and they have not reported any problems.

You do not have to have my program running when playing dota 2, or the dota 2 game doesn't have to be on to use my program.

Enjoy!

Will check it out, thanks for the program. +rep

Fantastic good work mate

Nicely done mate! Although you can just fiddle with the files yourself, it's much nicer to have a program do it for you, will check this out ^^

Added a feature where you can view your currently suggested items when you click on a area to edit.

If you are using my program, re-download for the latest update, or if you have not used it yet check it out!

New hero has been added to the program.

Re-download to receive the latest updates!

This is a really great program, especially considering the game is only in an exclusive beta! I hope to see continuous updates and many downloads.

Thanks for your continued work on this sniper :)

Fixed skeleton king not displaying items in game
--For some reason the skeleton king's text file is written slightly different than the other heroes which caused my program to write multiple content that confused the game.




Thanks!, unless something happens to me, I plan on updating my program ASAP when a new hero/item is introduced.

If you see any problems please private message me or shoot me an email:
