[!WARNING] Copies of this app are going around. Renamed builds of Dota 2 Mod Manager are handed out and sold as other people’s launchers, with no source code and no credit. The real one is free, has no paid version and never asks for your Steam login. Do not trust a launcher that shows no source code, names nobody it is built on, wants a subscription or a payment, or makes you sign in. Get it only from dota2modmanager.com or this repository’s releases. How to tell the real one.

[!NOTE] Not affiliated with Valve. Every mod here is client-side: nobody else sees them, and no other player’s game is touched. VPK mods never touch Dota’s own files. The looks from the game and mods’ effects need the item table, which asks once before it edits them and reverts byte for byte.

Why not just copy the files yourself? You can, and people do. What the app adds is everything after that: switching a mod off before a match without deleting it, a weather effect or a courier your account never bought drawn on your own…
