  17. A guide on how to LAN Dota 2 with Steam offline mode.Guide
  18. If you want to play without bots you can just skip the plain text and follow the bold text only.
  19.  
  20. This is a guide on how to LAN Dota 2 when you're at friends etc. and have no internet connection. Normally Dota won't let you LAN only play bot matches solo in offline mode. This is for those people(like me) frustrated that you can't LAN Dota without internet connection.
  21.  
  22. So to do this you'll need to enable console first by right clicking Dota 2 in steam and selecting "Properties". Then click on "Launch Options" and type in "-console". Click OK and close, you can start the game now and it should take you to something similiar to this screen.
  23.  
  24. Now type this in the console: "sv_cheats 1" "sv_lan 1" "map dota.bsp"
  25.  
  26. Once the map loads in the background and you can type in the console again, make a note of the server port in the console here . Your friends will be using this to connect to your game. Now if you want to play with bots type the following in the console: "dota_bot_set_difficulty 3". You can replace the 3 with numbers from 1-3. 1 being easy bots, 3 being hard bots(I am not sure on the difficulty ranking with the numbers maybe it goes from 0-4, 0 being passive and 4 being unfair but I just use 3 all the time anyways which I'm sure are hard bots). Now type "dota_start_ai_game 1". When all this is done, your friends can connect from their consoles by typing in "connect" and your private LAN IP address followed by the port your got earlier. Something like this "connect 192.168.10.12:27015". When your friends are connected, you and them pick Radiant or Dire side by typing in "jointeam good" for Radiant or "jointeam bad" for Dire and "jointeam spec" for spectator. Then close the console using the x at the top right or pressing the keybind for console. Pick heroes and the bots should load in once the game starts. This is a guide for playing All Pick only, if there is a way to play other gameomdes using console then post it in the comments.
  27.  
  28. Btw I know this is an unnecessarily long and in-depth guide just to type a few commands in the console, but I wanted to make this as noob-friendly as possible. Hopefully this helps some people like it did me.

  30. EDIT: formatting
  31.  
  32. EDIT2: credit to /u/Knecht_Ruprecht To select the game mode, you have to type "dota_force_gamemode X" into console before "map dota". X is a number that defines the game mode you will play (Source: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/List_of_Console_Commands): * All Pick = 1 * Captains Mode = 2 * Random Draft = 3 * Single Draft = 4 * All Random = 5 * INTRO = 6 * Diretide = 7 * Reverse Captains Mode = 8 * Greeviling = 9 * Tutorial = 10 * Mid Only = 11 * Least Played = 12 * Limited Heroes = 13 * Compendium = 14 * Captains Draft = 16 * Balanced Draft = 17 * Ability Draft = 18 * All Random Death Match = 20 * 1 VS 1 Solo-Mid = 21 * All Pick (Ranked) = 22

  166. reddit is funny about formating.
  167.  
  168. you'll want to put an extra newline when you want to change line. (actually double <space> but pressing <enter> twice is easier)

  170. when doing bulletpoints this is only needed before the bulletpoints start.

  180. Sorry to kind of bring up an old threat, but I seem to be having an issue with this where in game mode 18, Ability Draft, none of the bots seem to do anything. Am I being stupid, or does this no longer work? I was super excited to play a few games of AD since I never get to play proper games.

  221. I would add +con_enable 1 to the launch options instead of -console. That way you can get your console by hitting ` (by default). Instead of being greeted by the console every time you launch the game.

  448. That's what was used to create a DotaTV port when we used to run local srcds servers. I had no idea you could create a local server through the client now. I guess you'd set the srcds launch options as the dota launch options and it would work.

  469. Probably because early in development they hadn't determined the sides were going to be called Radiant and Dire. In wc3 Dota, they were called Sentinel and Scourge. Valve knew they wouldn't be able to use those names, but hadn't yet settled on alternate names so they just refer to them as good and bad in the code.
  470.  
  471. There are other similar examples of heroes and assets going by older names in the code, like Skeleton King and Windrunner. There's not a lot of incentive to change the names in the code, so the old names live on unseen to the outside viewer.

  548. The reason this isn't done by LAN organizers is that 1. it's 2015, internet is usually bountiful and speedy (usually). 2. it doesn't carry with it all the services that the Valve servers are able to provide (replays, DotaTV, etc...). 3. Hats.

  559. I know, they probably know this feature (everybody who digs in files do) but it would be sometimes helpful againts those player sniping (even last security updates by Valve helped a lot), the only solution would be to have 100% offline server that record everything needed what is recorded and upload it online after match so everything can be visible and downable (and ppl just stand the hats :D )

  667. Thank you for this. My wife loves to play the ARDM bot mode using some console commands I gave her, and we've always been wishing for a way to play it together against bots!
  668.  
  669. On a side note, does anyone know how to enable cosmetic items from your inventory when starting a game via console like this? Not a deal-breaker of course, but have always wondered.

  837. The sv_cheats doesn't enable cheats like the -wtf and -gold etc to be entered, if you want to use cheats I think you will need to enter them through the hosts console. And the sv_cheats is needed to play LAN, I don't think its to enable cheats necessarily but has a different function in this context.

  877. Well it seems as if you want 4 players in Radiant and 3 in Dire so that 1 bot fills the Radiant missing slot and 2 bots fill Dire missing slots. So what you do is follow the tutorial, type the commands up to where everyone who wants to join the game types in "connect" followed by the host IP address and port like in the guide, then once they are connected the 4 players who want to join Radiant types in "jointeam good" and the 3 who play on Dire type "jointeam bad" when everyone closes console, picks heroes and the game starts, there should be 1 Radiant bot and 2 Dire bots. This is litteraly in the guide but but it seems you don't understand it or are extremely confused by something so I hope my explanation helps, if not ask for help with what you're having trouble with.

Actually my friend and I can connect through PC to PC in offline mode and when everything is done as you mentioned, but when the game starts and at the all pick screen there's only one player I,e my account or my friends.vice-versa. And sometimes the heroes are picked automatically where it shows invalid index on one hero.so what might be the problem? If you have any solution for this problem,kindly help.a.s.a.p.ty

  938. This is strange indeed, did you type "jointeam good" or "jointeam bad" to join a side? It should work then, basically, on the host pc type: "sv_cheats 1" then "sv_lan 1" "dota_bot_set_difficulty 3" then "map dota.bsp". Then your friend joins with "connect <your ip and port>" and then your friend uses jointeam command. After that the host pc uses jointeam and then types "dota_start_ai_game 1". You then close your consoles and everything should work for an all pick game. Do all this and let me know if it works? It should if you follow these commands.

  1002. I have no idea what you mean by multiple hosts? You want to host the game on multiple different computers? I'm also not experienced enough with Mac to be able to give you an answer but I think the commands and everything will still be the same.

  1092. There were a patch of dota 2 (revLoader, if you know) for playing dota 2 without steam, and with running a dedicated server you can play dota 2 LAN Offline mode without steam, and it has a trick to unlock ALL item for anyone who played in that game; but now its doesn't work for LAN(because of dedicated server), so I think if we mix your solution and that patch and some other codes, we can unlock all items in our games and play it LAN without steam...

  1242. No, because no one can watch the game through dotaTV.

  1252. Found this [guide] (http://www.mabzicle.com/2014/12/how-to-play-dota2-in-offline-mode-or-no-internet.html) few months ago, thought everybody knew about it already. Edit: Pictures included so if you don't understand the post above you can go have a look :)

  1272. Is it still necessary to put Steam into offline mode for this? The guide you've shared mentions it, but the post here doesn't. Just want to know for when I get home tonight and try this. Thanks!

  1282. Yeah you need to go offline first. OP did mention it actually
  1283.  
  1284. Normally Dota won't let you LAN only play bot matches solo in offline mode.

  1324. In your guide it says you load up a game and the remaining slots will be filled with bots. Is it possible to remove these bots, so you can play 4vs4 for example?

  1355. Just skip the bot commands or disable them with:
  1356.  
  1357. dota_start_ai_game 0
  1358.  
  1359. dota_bot_practice_start 0
  1360.  
  1361. So you basically just need (as a server) to:
  1362.  
  1363. map dota
  1364.  
  1365. jointeam good / bad
  1366.  
  1367. Btw OP, this has worked for years...
