How To Install

If you're on Windows, you can download the latest release. No guarantees it's the most up-to-date version, though.

If you want to run from source, ensure that you have Python 3.9.1+ and the venv module installed; how to install this depends on your system. Then follow the instructions below.

Linux:

• $ git clone https://github.com/hauzer/dota-hero-grid-generator.git
• $ cd dota-hero-grid-generator
• $ python3 -m venv py
• $ py/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Windows:

• $ git clone https://github.com/hauzer/dota-hero-grid-generator.git
• $ cd dota-hero-grid-generator
• $ py -3 -m venv py
• $ py/Scripts/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

How To Use

• Configure config.json:
  • Get your own Stratz API token here. You just need to log in with your Steam account.
  • Point to the Steam installation directory. Note that this is not where Dota is, but where the actual Steam executable resides (e.g. steam.exe on Windows).
  • Set up your grids:
    • Multiple grids are supported, but you can have only one if you want.
    • Name the grids if you wish, using the name key. Otherwise, they'll be named automatically.
    • Set up your rank(s).
    • The users key denotes which Steam users use that particular grid. These usernames are account names (the thing you use to login), not nicknames. You need to set up that as well.
    • pickrate_treshold denotes the minimum percentage of matches a hero needs to be picked in a role for them to be included in that role. The default of 0.0336 indicates that the script will only include those heroes who would have been picked at least twice in enough games to cover 119 pick choices for the respective role (which is two pick choices per game), that is at least once roughly every 30 games (in that role). Feel free to experiment (and check if my math adds up!).
• Run:
  • If from a release, just double click on dota_hero_grid_generator.exe.
  • If from source on Linux, use the following command:
    $ py/bin/python ./dota_hero_grid_generator.py
  • If from source on Windows, use the following command:
    $ py/Scripts/python ./dota_hero_grid_generator.py
• You'll be informed about which grid(s) were created/updated for which user(s).
• Enjoy!
