====== Information ======

  * [[https://www.dota2.com/|Dota 2]]
  * [[https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD|SteamCMD]]
  * [[https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/|Goldberg Emulator]]

  * These notes allow downloading Dota 2 using SteamCMD and running it in offline mode ((I only do singleplayer local bot matches; LAN usage is untested))

====== SteamCMD ======

===== Install =====

  * https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Manually

  wget -O '/tmp/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz' 'https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz' && mkdir -p ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && tar -xvzf '/tmp/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz' && cd ~ && sync

===== Login =====

****

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +quit && sync && cd ~

====== steamclient.so ======

  * ''steamclient.so'' is required and can be copied from SteamCMD, a Steam install ((Linux 64-bit)), or provided by a Steam emulator
  * Goldberg Emu and SteamCMD notes are provided below and can be ran freely to switch between them

===== Goldberg Emulator =====

  * https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/
  * This is a Steam emulator

==== Install ====

  * :!: This relies on [[https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/jobs/4247811310/artifacts/download|this URL]] which looks fragile, but comes from the above download page

  rm -Rf '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu' ~/'.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so' && wget -O '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' 'https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/jobs/4247811310/artifacts/download' && unzip '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' -d '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu' && mkdir -p ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings' && mv '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu/linux/x86_64/steamclient.so' ~/'.steam/sdk64' && ls ~/'.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so' && rm -Rf '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu' && sync

==== Settings ====

  * [[https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/blob/master/Readme_release.txt|Readme_release.txt]]

  touch ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/offline.txt' ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/disable_overlay.txt' ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/disable_networking.txt' && echo 'Espionage724' | tee ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/force_account_name.txt'

===== SteamCMD =====

****

  mkdir -p ~/'.steam/sdk64' && ln --force --symbolic ~/'Steam/steamcmd/linux64/steamclient.so' ~/'.steam/sdk64'

====== Dota 2 ======

===== Restore =====

****

  mkdir -p ~/'Steam/steamapps' && mv ~/'Downloads/Dota 2/'* ~/'Steam/steamapps' && sync

===== Install/Update =====

  * This may need re-ran if game data is restored from backup ((''Error! App '570' state is 0xE after update job.''))
  * Presumably this fresh-installs Dota 2 also

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '570' +quit && sync && cd ~

==== Runtime ====

  * 2023/12/30: Sniper

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '1628350' +quit && sync && cd ~

===== Validate =====

****

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '570' validate +quit && sync && cd ~

===== Reset Settings =====

****

  ANV_NO_GPL='1' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -novid -autoconfig

==== Settings Save ====

  * Open Dota 2's in-game console with the ''\'' key
  * Type ''host_writeconfig''
  * :!: Errors with saving or finding a file path may require a Steam emulator if using Steam client's or SteamCMD's ''steamclient.so''

===== Launch =====

  * :!: 2023: ''ANV_NO_GPL=1'' and ''-vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library'' was required for Intel UHD 630 to prevent random crashing, but doesn't seem needed as of 2024/04/29

===== Bot Match =====

  * Immediately launches into an All-pick Bot Match
  * :?: Presumably ''3'' = Unfair difficulty ([[https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota2-Gameplay/discussions/15723|discussion]])

====== Desktop Launcher ======

====== Windows ======

  * TODO: Organize this
  * :!: No version of Goldberg Emu worked, and couldn't be figured out
  * :!: In-game settings saving to ''.cfg'' failed because of not finding an expected file path or env pointing to it, and presumably this is provided by Steam client; Goldberg didn't work on Windows but maybe provides the expected paths

  * ''steamcmd.exe'' at ''C:\Program Files\570''
  * ''C:\Program Files\570\steamapps'' should have ''appmanifest_570.acf'' and Dota 2 at ''C:\Program Files\570\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta''

  * Login

<code>"steamcmd.exe" +login "Espionage724" +quit</code>

  * Update/install Dota 2

<code>"steamcmd.exe" +login "Espionage724" +app_update "570" +quit</code>

  * Update Steam Common Redist

<code>
"steamcmd.exe" +login "Espionage724" +app_update "228980" +quit
"steamcmd.exe" +login "Espionage724" +app_update "228980" validate +quit</code>

  * Validate Dota 2

<code>"steamcmd.exe" +login "Espionage724" +app_update "570" validate +quit</code>

  * Requires the following DLLs from an installed Steam client ((Steam can be uninstalled afterwards)) placed next to ''dota2.exe'' in the ''dota 2 beta\game\bin\win64'' folder

<code>crashhandler64.dll</code>

<code>steamclient64.dll</code>

<code>tier0_s64.dll</code>

<code>vstdlib_s64.dll</code>

  * ''Bot Match.bat'' in ''C:\Program Files\570\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\bin\win64''
