| |
| ===== Goldberg Emulator ===== | |
| |
| * https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_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' && 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 | |

| |
| ====== Dota 2 ====== | |
| |
| ===== Restore Backup ===== | |
| |
| **** | |
| |
| mkdir -p ~/'Steam/steamapps' && mv ~/'Downloads/Dota 2/'* ~/'Steam/steamapps' && sync | |
| |
| ===== Install/Update ===== | |
| |
| * :!: This and ''validate'' may need re-ran multiple times if game data is restored from backup ((''Error! App '570' state is 0xE after update job.'')) | |
| * This fresh-installs Dota 2 also | |
| |
| cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '570' +quit && sync && cd ~ | |
| |
| ==== Check/Repair Data ==== | |
| |
| **** | |
| |
| cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '570' validate +quit && sync && cd ~ | |
| |
| ==== Runtime ==== | |
| |
| * 2025/12/23: ''Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper)'' (''1628350'') | |
| * :?: TODO: Better way to check, update, and future-update (([[https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md|container-runtime.md]] implies ''medic'' is next; [[https://steamdb.info/search/?a=all&q=Steam+Linux+Runtime|SteamDB]])) | |
| |
| cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '1628350' +quit && sync && cd ~ | |
| |

| |
| ==== Permissions ==== | |
| |
| **** | |
| |
| chmod -v +x ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64/dota2' | |
| |
| ===== In-game Settings ===== | |
| |
| * This resets in-game Settings and starts Dota 2 | |
| |
| ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -autoconfig -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console | |
| |
| ==== Settings Save ==== | |
| |
| - Configure in-game Settings | |
| - Open Dota 2's in-game Console with the ''\'' key | |
| - Type ''host_writeconfig'' | |
| |
| host_writeconfig | |
| |
| * :!: Errors with saving or finding a file path may require a Steam emulator if using an official ''steamclient.so'' | |
| |
| ===== Launch ===== | |
| |
| * Main Menu | |
| |
| ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console | |
| |
| ==== Bot Match ==== | |
| |
| * Immediately launches into an Unfair All-pick Bot Match | |
| |
| * :!: ''+sv_cheats 1'' allows controlling bots and [[https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats|cheats]], but may cause click targeting to not work as-expected ((instead of clicking-off a selected enemy hero and automatically moving your hero, it'll keep the enemy hero selected and **not** move your hero)) | |
| |
| ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console +sv_lan '1' +dota_bot_practice_difficulty '4' +dota_start_ai_game '1' +map 'dota' | |
| |
| === Test === | |
| |
| * ''dota.sh'' mods below //likely// revert with ''validate''; TODO: Update script | |
| |
| ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' --devel --systemd-scope --import-vulkan-layers --remove-game-overlay -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console +sv_lan '1' +dota_bot_practice_difficulty '4' +dota_start_ai_game '1' +map 'dota' | |
| |
| * Wayland | |
| |
| sed -i 's/SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11/SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland/g' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' | |

| * Check | |
| |
| cat ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' | grep 'SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=' | |
| |
| ====== Bots Scripts ====== | |
| |
| * Bot scripts are automatically loaded and used if present ((apparently relies on a ''Local Dev Script'' feature and the scripts being in a ''bots'' folder at ''dota\scripts\vscripts'')) | |
| |
| gio open ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts' | |
| |
| ===== Default Bots ===== | |
| |
| * Removing the ''vscripts/bots'' folder results in using default/built-in bot scripts | |
| |
| rm -Rf ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/bots' | |
| |
| ===== Open Hyper AI ===== | |
| |
| * https://github.com/forest0xia/dota2bot-OpenHyperAI/commits/main/ | |
| |
| rm -Rf ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/bots' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/OpenHyperAI' && git clone --branch 'main' --depth '1' --recurse-submodules 'https://github.com/forest0xia/dota2bot-OpenHyperAI.git' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/OpenHyperAI' && mv ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/OpenHyperAI/bots' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts' && sync | |
| |
| ====== Desktop Launcher ====== | |
| |
| * TODO: Update scripts | |
| |
| mkdir -p ~/'.local/share/applications/Valve' && nano ~/'.local/share/applications/Valve/Dota 2 - Bots.desktop' && sed -i 's/'CHANGEME'/'$USER'/g' ~/'.local/share/applications/Valve/Dota 2 - Bots.desktop' && update-desktop-database --quiet ~/'.local/share/applications' | |
