DOTA HQ Mod is another transformation pack similar to Dota 1.5 and WarDota2.





DOTA HQ Mod brings full transformation of all current released heroes in Dota 2 and it is compatible with latest DotA 6.78b and 6.77 AI map for Warcraft 3. Not only heroes models, icons and sound are changed but also Warcraft 3 UI is changed to look more like Dota 2.





Installation





Installation is simple but before you start make sure you make a backup copy or Warcraft 3 if you want to play normal maps or normal DotA. This is because DOTA HQ Mod uses modded version of DotA map that is not compatible with official DotA map.

Or backup following files:

war3x.mpq

war3patch.mpq

Also before you start installing this mod start Warcraft 3 and in Video settings set Model Details to High and Texture Quality to High and in Sound setting Disable 3D Positional Audio.

Now you will need to download files need for the mod.
