General DiscussionHow do I change minimap style?

just put this in your autoexec.cfg

dota_minimap_show_hero_icon "1"
dota_minimap_hide_backgro und "1"

options on the upper left corner of your dota 2 screen. select "alt" always on and show hero icons when pressing alt. try experimenting around, it works.

u can only edit what the icons look in settings, and the location of minimap on the screen, but not its style. in order to do it, u need to insert what 0303 suggested (more precisely, the 2nd command) in console/autoexec file.

when i last checked, it was not a part of settings. actually, it might have been changed since then.

Switch your current autoexec file into the new directory:
Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota\cfg
Then open up console and the command to activate it is:
exec autoexec.cfg
bind "F8" "exec autoexec.cfg"
dota_cheap_water 1
cl_globallight_shadow_mode 0
r_deferred_height_fog 0
r_deferred_simple_light 1
r_screenspace_aa 0
mat_vsync 0 // Need to delete mat_vsync "1" line

type all that and you're good to go

Yeah, there is an option to hide background on Dota settings, however, it turns into a totally black map. It's not about the hero icons, but about the map style. Like this:

Ps: Both of the images were took from somewhere in the Internetlands, not my configs.

Oh, I found out how to change it. It's actually a Mod. Probably I can't post the link here.
