Dota Theme manager

Yes the Dota them as you often see in some video, this is from the forum of playdota.com:


Did you ever think that playing DotA on the very same terrain all the time is boring?
Is -terrain snow just not good enough? Are you looking for change?

The DotA Theme Manager

The DotA Theme Manager - in short: DTM - allows you to change the look of the terrain while still allowing you to play with people who do not use the DotA Theme Manager - on battle.net, garena, hamachi, just everywhere.

Multiple themes are available: Beach, Barrens, Snow, Hell, City and Highlands, all of them having a unique design!

Many of you will wonder how it works...well, it is simple: The DTM exchanges textures of terrain, trees and doodads in the MPQ files - basically the storing files for WC3. The process is easily reversible, not harming WC3 at all, and it causes no problems in the interaction with other players who do not use the DTM. A tiny negative point is that is also changes the textures for other maps which might look a bit bad, but if you restore it to original it works again, so it is never problematic.

If you are interested, I suggest you to take a look at the website:

If you want to support the DotA Theme Manager:
Just spread word of it! Far too few people know about it's existance - put it into your signature (graphics coming soon), tell your friends about it, use it in DotA videos you create (I'd be thankful for credits), show off with it in LAN cafés.

There is also a forum group:

Also, the DTMV4 is not the last version, I still work on new terrains, code improvements and features - if you got ideas and suggestions, don't hesitate to tell me!
