A Dota 2 custom game project aiming to recreate gameplay and mechanics from patch 7.30.

This repository is a hobby project that serves both as a playable experience and a technical reference. It includes a variety of gameplay systems, structured code examples, and fully custom abilities implemented from scratch.

The project includes:

• TypeScript for Panorama
• TypeScript for VScripts
• Continuous Integration support
• Simple commands to build and launch your custom game
• Localization system — a simple and scalable approach to managing translations

1. Clone this repository or, if you're planning to have a repository for your custom game on GitHub, create a new repository from this template and clone it instead.
2. Install dependencies:

npm install

(Optional) Keep dependencies up to date:

npm update

3. Start development:

• Press Ctrl+Shift+B in VSCode
• or run:

npm run dev

• [src/common]: TypeScript .d.ts type declaration files with types that can be shared between Panorama and VScripts
• [src/vscripts]: TypeScript code for Dota addon (Lua) vscripts. Compiles lua to game/scripts/vscripts.
• [src/panorama]: TypeScript code for panorama UI. Compiles js to content/panorama/scripts/custom_game
• [src/localization]: A convenient localization workflow that merges multiple .txt files into a single addon_english.txt

• [game/*]: Dota game directory containing files such as npc kv files and compiled lua scripts.
• [content/*]: Dota content directory containing panorama sources other than scripts (xml, css, compiled js)

• [scripts/*]: Repository installation scripts

This template includes a GitHub Actions workflow that builds your custom game on every commit and fails when there are type errors.
