To “customize” Dota for yourself, you can’t do without using a console, because you miss out on a whole expanse of opportunities and all sorts of goodies. In this article we will talk about how to enable the console in Dota 2 and what to do if for some reason it does not open for you.
For example, using the console and a simple command, you can set Deny in Dota 2 to the right mouse button. But first of all, you need to configure it.
Don't use them if you don't know how they work. I hope you learned something from reading this guide. 
The most important and decisive factor, undoubtedly, is money. At this price, I think we can put together an adequate set that will go a little above current standards and last for several years.
In this sub-topic, we will be dealing with the price that a player has to invest in their gaming platform. Possibility to play multiplayer Every month new downloads are free, but only for a month or free for one year. In case of expiration of membership free games are blocked until you overpay for your membership. Exclusive discounts. Play a game - invite your friend to play for you even though they don't have the game. Opportunity to try beta games. Cloud backup saved game positions.
How to open Dota 2 console while playing
To call up the console in Dota during the game itself, you just need to press the assigned key for the console, which is specified in the in-game settings. The default is "\" key, but they tend to get lost, so it would be a good idea to check them.
Play Multiplayer Every month, new downloads will be downloaded every month, and once downloaded, you will remain in your game library. Exceptional discounts. . Exclusive Headlines Optimization. In this category, you decide the winner yourself.
Control is a very sacrosanct thing and therefore it would be better if everyone experienced what the store actually has, so take this rating with a reserve, rather try to summarize again what kind of control it offers. The keyboard comes with a huge number of usable buttons, so it can be used in very complex games to control.
The screenshot below shows where to look for the key to open the console:
Console won't open in Dota 2
If you have problems opening the console, first of all make sure that the required command is set "-console"(without quotes) in the Dota 2 launch options. If everything is normal, then go to the control settings and find the “Console” item (shown in the image above). If the settings indicate the wrong key or it is missing altogether, put the one that you think is convenient for you.
Also, let's not forget the little word between the joystick that tries to create a better atmosphere in certain sequences and attract players more into the game. If you unload it, you need to remove it from the dock or via cable, which is a great limitation for gaming. You can purchase a pedal steering wheel. The joystick placement is ideal for many people because it naturally puts your finger closer to your fingers.
The driver's great gain is even to maintain the original power source through cable or classic pencil batteries. Here let's take a look interesting features offered by each platform and find links to all supported console applications.
If you still can’t set up your console, write in the comments below and we will try to help you solve this problem.
How to close the console in Dota 2
There is nothing complicated here - just press the same button that your console is bound to and return to the game.
The console is an advanced game configuration tool that can be used to set various parameters and properties hidden in the standard Dota 2 in-game menu.
Finally, let's summarize everything about these platforms. Let's look at the design, benefits, size and possible bonuses. The user himself will greatly influence how the machine itself will look, what components it will display, and if missing or disorganized, it can very easily be brought back to life. Depending on your skills and patience, you can tailor it to the latest details in terms of performance, noise, temperature and other details.
Due to the smaller design, there is a legitimate fear of worsening the cooling system and therefore less life. This has its own external source, which again lowers the temperature in the console itself, but prepare for a TV spot because the source is quite large. But be careful not to fall off the chair. But my concerns about inertia disappeared. The amazing monster game is not in a hurry, but somewhere on the streets and bomb.
Before turning on the console in Dota 2 and entering console commands in the game, the console must be unlocked.
As you can see, opening the console in Dota 2 is very simple!
Dota 2 config
Config - custom commands to be connected separate file when starting the game. These commands in Dota 2 Reborn are activated automatically thanks to the flexible and convenient structure of the Source 2 engine.
Interesting comments and pictures in black. We'll be glad that adventurous players have seen that games are no longer funny, but "weird." Original versions before editing: Mr. Interesting comments and pictures in black. We will be pleased with adventurous players to see that the games are no longer funny weird.
But we all have our priorities, and it's good that we have a choice. In my opinion, one thing is important for everyone. Most accessible to the user. accessibility and simplicity are the main reason for expansion. These players were too damn small. It was not about competition, but about money. It was a challenge.
Go to the folder where you installed the game. If you used the standard installation path, then this is:
- For Windows x86: C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta
- For Windows x64: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta
If you cannot find the folder, then do this:
- On Steam, click right click by game name and select “Properties”.
- In the window that appears, select the “Local files” tab and click the “View local files...” button, as in the screenshot below.
Market access has improved. The fall of communism had a great impact on him. Not in the complexity and capabilities of the games. Games on all platforms had to do something. In any case, they had something in common. There was nothing to install, nothing to install and nothing to do. At that time, gaming on phones was also growing.
This was every month, then every quarter. Games had to adapt to a new large group of players who were just learning to play with a gamepad. This is a milestone that set the course for all future games. You can't find these people either. There is no reason to respect your own platforms. Reproducibility will be easier to see. That we are limiting ourselves when we have long been a minority that is no longer as attractive to business. The free-playing model is the cap in the tomb and the last cry of the "big" platforms.
So, you got to the “dota 2 beta” folder in any of the ways. Then follow the following path: game → dota → cfg. This folder contains the Dota 2 config.
The next step is to create the Autoexec.cfg file
First you need to enable the display of file extensions. For WIndows 10, in Explorer, select the “View” tab, click “Options” and “Change settings for folders and search.”
Streaming game services are getting bigger, so the waters are really getting muddied. Maybe it doesn't look like it here in the Czech Republic, but our country is not the world. In the gaming market, we are a drop in the pond. In our village, if they know a stable and fairly fast Internet, and that is kudos for what it is used for.
So why are we safer?! I don't think we need any more weapons. You need to take money to improve your standard of living. An interesting take on this "hot topic" that has been flooding the plague for years to come and will likely flood for years to come. The article has several inaccuracies, vague and unclear sentences that may cause some colleagues to misrepresent, but you will still drink it. The article has a few inaccuracies, vague and ambiguous sentences that may make some colleagues crack the cube, but you'll still be drinking.
Great! Create in a folder Text Document and name it without quotes “autoexec.cfg”. Make sure you remove txt extension.
At Dota launch 2 The contents of the autoexec.cfg file can be automatically copied to the main configuration file- config.cfg. To prevent this, right-click on config.cfg -> Properties -> Attributes -> Read Only.
Like a jerk in the yard. Alangor: Well, we have a different experience. Everyone I know has a TV, but usually it's just crap that playing games would be suicide. Either they have a netbook or even a tablet. Computer games are a medium like any other, and the Czech Republic is its main producer. They originated in communist Czechoslovakia and often had an anti-regime charge. He talks about this in big interview for Jaroslav Shwelch, who lectures on computer games at Charles and Masaryk University.
You are playing computer games at the universities of Prague and Brno. This is terribly interesting, but what is it useful for? This is an environment that is becoming increasingly important. Both the games industry and the expressive power of games are growing. It begins to show that computer gaming is a medium like any other, and some things can mediate better than others. Personally, my computer game is mainly interested in social phenomena. Like film or music science, there is a need for a field that can understand computer games.
And finally, we need to make sure that our config for Dota 2 starts automatically. Add the following text without quotes to the game launch parameters: “+exec autoexec.cfg”.
Please note: In the autoexec.cfg file, commands are written with quotes, but in the console - without quotes.
We're talking about history, which is my specialty. We are talking about the means of expression available for computer games. These are, of course, audiovisual media such as text, dialogue, and narration. But at the same time, there are game mechanics and rules that control the game worlds, that is, what restrictions the player can play in the game world. And how to combine these things to give the game something to the person. In addition, we learn to interpret, write about something that has a head and a heel, and discuss a work of art.
Finally, we talk about the social context: who the players are, how the industry works, who influences it. And one lecture, of course, is about the effects of games, because that's a question that people are still asking. Is there a connection between violence in computer games and real life?
It is useful to put in autoexec.cfg the commands that you enter every time you start Dota. It could be like additional settings, and changing the standard ones, if it is convenient for you. For example, this is what my config file looks like:
Dota 2 Console Commands
Below I will provide a short list of useful console commands. Also, you can check out full dump of Dota console, but do it at your own risk - there are a lot of commands.
Can a computer game be art? It depends on how one defines art and culture. Some arise with ambitions to be art, others just good games who are successful and people appreciate art. Its main character runs through the desert and is looking for something. The player doesn't know what, he doesn't know where to go, he just receives special signals along the way. Along with him there are other players who are also looking for something and just shouting to each other. In general, this is a special metaphor for pilgrimage and search.
It's a lot of lyrical stuff, it looks beautiful. There is an instant connection between people who don't know each other, traveling together for a few moments and then going somewhere. It reminds me of chat rooms in the early days of the Internet. There were even strangers trying to have fun.
All commands are given with quotes so that they can be conveniently inserted into the autoexec.cfg configuration file.

Settings for weak computers
Here, however, we can communicate very limitedly, which maintains the mystical atmosphere of the game. Rather, they live together all over the world. Did you come from them as a scientist, or were you a player, a gamer? Playing games is a natural part of my cultural life. There are many commercial games, are there any alternatives?
Since we are a small country, there are relatively many developers here. They are visually beautiful and follow the tradition of Czechoslovak animation. Otherwise, the experimental gaming scene is not very well developed. There is a trend towards creating games for experienced players. Complex simulation games such as army military simulation. They deserve respect, they are huge complex systems. Initially, this was only a single-player modification of the game. He took Arm and added zombies to it. It's become this post-apocalyptic survival game that's still online, so people play against each other.

There is interesting stories. Some people are cruel there, others are helpful. That's not a lot social engineering. You create a world and wait for people to behave. What is the Czech Republic's position as a computer games producer compared to the world? Computer games are probably still the most important contemporary cultural artifact in the Czech Republic. There is one medium and several small but powerful studios that make up a number of world class titles. At the same time, other independent studies are being developed.
The vast majority of games by standardization were amateurs. There was no market software, so people couldn't sell the game. There was no tendency to create propaganda games by the regime. Games were created by young people who had time and a computer, and who wanted to learn, entertain friends, or gain respect in a community of other computer gamers. It's not that people don't have anything to play; computer games have spread from the West. But there were people who wanted to prove themselves.

Command bindings to hotkeys
Binds, or bindings, allow you to set console commands to hotkeys of your choice.
The most useful binds in the game are setting the camera to the position of the runes:
- bind “*button*” “dota_camera_setpos -2273.898682 1232.745483 982.072876” - move the camera to the top rune.
- bind “*button*” “dota_camera_setpos 3035.773438 -2972.680176 966.072937” - move the camera to the bottom rune.
Instead of *button*, of course, you need to enter the required key. By the way, the keys on the NumPad are designated with the prefix KP. For example, Num 7 is designated as KP_7.
You can bind to the desired buttons any phrases that you say into the chat as soon as you press this key:
- bind “*button*” “say_team No need to feed! Let’s retreat!”
