Optimizations[edit]
- New Loading Screen
- Redesigned and improved Sentinel and Scourge bases as well as nearby terrain
- Rewrote creep/neutral/powerup spawn systems. The game timer now counts down to 0, at which point the creeps and powerups spawn. 30 seconds later the neutrals spawn. This behavior is the same as various popular modes, but it is now standardized to the entire game with the new clock. All game events are based off of this time rather than an arbitrary time based on the mode you used

Game Modes[edit]
- Added a new game mode: Captains Mode (-captainsmode/-cm)
Show Details | |
---|---|
Captains Mode: Blue and Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process(you can customize this, see below) Ban Time: 40 You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to 4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban. After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroes his team will use. If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero. Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one they want to be. The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is entered. The picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing by team mates and observers. |
