dotaconstants's Issues

Game mode names are ambiguous

Hello! First of all, thanks for the hard work and time put into this project.

However I have a bit of trouble with the naming of the game modes

They're not really user friendly and don't represent the names displayed in the game
Hence my request to add a field "display_name" which represents the english names as they are represented in game
Also maybe indicating if these are ranked or not (maybe thats what balanced stands for?)

I could fix this by mapping the names myself. But at that point I might as wel just hardcode them (which I'd like to avoid)

Unranked names:

• All Pick
• Turbo
• Single Draft
• Random Draft
• All Random
• Ability Draft
• All Random DeathMatch

Ranked:

• Ranked All Pick
• Captains Mode
• Random Draft

Would need to figure out the names of the events and such though

No new patch id in patches.json

patches.json was not updated after 7.34

Why some aghanim's abilities have 'Hidden' prop and some don't?

For example Bloodseeker's Blood Mist isn't hidden, but Tiny's Tree Volley is. But it's the same type of abilities (new with aghanim's scepter).

patchnote seems not good enough

Hi team,
According to below 7.29 patchnote.json and real game UI comparison.
The JSON for Abaddon for instance, a list of the array, no hint/mapping for his abilities' update
Somthing like:

'hero_name': {
'general': [
       "Base health regen increased from 0.5 to 1",
        "Shard upgrade now also reduces Mist Coil and Aphotic Shield cooldowns by 1 second.",
],
"ablility_name1": [
        "Backswing reduced from 0.67 to 0.4",
        "Heal/damage rescaled from 120/165/210/255 to 110/160/210/260",
        "Self damage is now 50% of the values instead of fixed numbers",
],
"ablility_name2": [
        "Backswing reduced from 0.67 to 0.4",
        "Heal/damage rescaled from 120/165/210/255 to 110/160/210/260",
        "Self damage is now 50% of the values instead of fixed numbers",
],
'talents': [

        "Level 15 Talent increased from +50 Mist Coil Heal/Damage to +55",
        "Level 20 Talent increased from +8 Armor to +9",
        "Level 25 Talent increased from 425 AoE Mist Coil to 500"
]
}

URL's for items.json cannot be found

Hey!

Is it possible to obtain images/thumbnails for items.json?

I can see a response for https://api.opendota.com/api/constants/items, but every img URL points to not existing source.

what is this %abilitycastrange% no range given ?

sir in items.json file
there are 49 lines which has %abilitycastrange% instread of range
look at line 1732 for example

Dawnbreaker img 404 error

Hi I think the Dawnbreaker img is broken. It returns a 404. All other img in build/heroes.json work properly.

Greetings

automate pulling data?

have you thought about adding automation so it fetches new data every hour for example? easy to do with a github action

How are skillshots decided?

Currently, skillshots.json lists out Mirana arrow, Pudge hook, Clockwerk hook, and Invoker sun strike. I suppose these are some of the hardest skills in the game to hit, and they're listed there for that reason.

However, I do think that in terms of analysis for a greater pool of heroes, it would make sense for each hero to measure their own efficiency in terms of missable skills, instead of the globally hardest skills. For example, a Batrider would like to know if he hit his flamebreak efficiently, and a Lina would want to know if she hit her Light Strike Array well.

At the very least, I do think there are a few skills missing from this list. Ancient Apparition's Ice Blast comes to mind.

Perhaps more data could be added as well, so we know the ideal ratio of hits to uses for each ability added.

7.00

• xp_level needs to be updated
• new ancient creep type
• updateconstants should pull from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotabuff/d2vpkr/test-client-20161211/dota/resource/dota_english.json to get talent descriptions (#13)

npm release

could you release to 8.4.0?

script is parsing talent descriptions incorrectly

region ARGENTINA

this match was on region ARGENTINA
https://www.opendota.com/matches/6167593330
but its not detected as ARGENTINA

use ES6 imports/exports

I think this is required to allow tree shaking to exclude unnecessary properties from the exported object.

support for neutral items

item tier, initial charges (eg. greater faerie fire), formatting changes (eg. negative attack speed/armor is not parsed correctly)
if you're not already on it I can make a PR

Suggestion, add attribute to items json indicating whether the item is currently available in live or not.

It would be helpful to be able to determine which items are currently available in live or not. For example, diffusal 2 is in the item list but hasn't been in the game since 7.07. The data for older items is also stored in different attributes, so flattening the structure for data analysis becomes difficult when including deprecated items.

7.30 plz

Base attack speed missing in heroes.json

I would assume that base attack speed should be located where base stats exists.

streamline hero ingestion

@bippum

Currently the hero data is from:

• https://api.opendota.com/api/heroes
  • This is part of odota/core and gets data from:
  • GetHeroes API (name, id)
  • http://www.dota2.com/jsfeed/heropediadata?feeds=herodata (primary attribute, melee/ranged, roles)
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotabuff/d2vpkr/master/dota/scripts/npc/npc_heroes.json

If the second source has all the data in the first source, we should avoid using the first, since I need to ingest data from this repo for the legs data, which means we have a circular dependency.

[Question] Item recipes?

Hello,

When looking at components required to build an item. I noticed that the recipes are never in the list. For example with the Mekansm:

"components": [
      "headdress",
      "chainmail"
    ]

The recipe_mekansm is missing from the list.
I am looking for a reliable way to make sure that an item has a recipe or not, do you know if there is a way to do this?

Thanks,

Localized Name Outworld Devourer is wrong

It should be Outworld Destroyer, see 7.30e json:
The localized_name is wrong here
"76": { "id": 76, "name": "npc_dota_hero_obsidian_destroyer", "localized_name": "Outworld Destroyer", "primary_attr": "int", "attack_type": "Ranged", "roles": [ "Carry", "Nuker", "Disabler" ], "img": "/apps/dota2/images/dota_react/heroes/obsidian_destroyer.png?", "icon": "/apps/dota2/images/dota_react/heroes/icons/obsidian_destroyer.png?", "base_health": 200, "base_health_regen": 1, "base_mana": 75, "base_mana_regen": 0, "base_armor": 2.5, "base_mr": 25, "base_attack_min": 19, "base_attack_max": 31, "base_str": 21, "base_agi": 22, "base_int": 30, "str_gain": 2.9, "agi_gain": 1.6, "int_gain": 4.2, "attack_range": 450, "projectile_speed": 900, "attack_rate": 1.9, "move_speed": 320, "turn_rate": null, "cm_enabled": true, "legs": 4 },

generate ability/item data from client file

d2vpkr has a more comprehensive listing of ability data than the existing jsfeed source we are using.

https://github.com/dotabuff/d2vpkr/blob/9631d01d5bab8b4555432a434f0199a2b685f9cd/dota/resource/dota_english.json

(probably can be done for items as well)

can we get innate abilities?

Update player colors

This is the correct player colors

{
  "0": "#3375FF",
  "1": "#66FFBF",

  "4": "#FF6B00",
  "128": "#FE86C2",

  "130": "#65D9F7",
  "131": "#008321",
  "132": "#A46900"
}

spirit vessel item id is incorrect

Looks like we can't really rely on valve's http://www.dota2.com/jsfeed/itemdata?l=english JSON for valid item ids.

Excess decimal digits in magnetize (ES ult)

Wrong image urls

Trident is an item from Siltbreaker event and has the wrong URL for the image. Actually, it's using Kaya's image. And Kayas URL is broken.

Lines: 5215, 5250

https://api.opendota.com/apps/dota2/images/items/kaya_lg.png <-- broken
https://api.opendota.com/apps/dota2/images/items/trident_lg.png <-- this is kaya, not trident

Some hero constants are outdated

Some hero constants are outdated. For example actual Bane base attack is in range from -1 to 5 when in heroes.json these values ​​are between -3 and 3

I try npx run build but error occurs and heroes.json doesn't change

Where can I find all the dotaconstants' objects?

suck dotaConstants.heroes['skywrath_mage'] dotaConstants.abilities['skywrath_mage_arcane_bolt']

npm run build throws error 'cant find attribute %abilitychanneltime%'

git clone <repo-link>
npm i
npm run build

Remove dependencies on async and request

Both libraries are outdated and can be replaced with async/await and axios

Missing 7.16.0

I have noticed the core project's package.json references 7.16.0. But it looks after the 7.33 additions this package was never bumped? The open dota api currently does not have any of the items from patch 7.33.

mapping between hero name and ability name?

Great dataset, thanks for putting this together and keeping it updated.

I dont see a mapping to associate hero names with their abilities (including talents). Am I missing it? Alternatively, this is a request to add it. I'm happy to lend my help to make it happen.

remove HTML from ability/item files

The old jsfeed source of data included embedded HTML/styling.

Now that we are using the client files to get the data, we should just let the consumer (odota/ui or other) style the text and just provide raw data.

build/item_colors.json

The color for consumable is wrong, should be grey rather than blue

https://www.dota2.com.cn/items/index_new.htm?#tab1

abilities.json missing data

There is missing data in abilities.json about:

1. sonic_wave cd
2. void_spirit_astral_step charge restore time
3. techies_land_mines charge restore time
4. charge restore time

Should subpatches be added to patch.json?

Suppose I want to periodically query whether my local cache of DotA 2 constants corresponds to the latest DotA 2 version (7.32c). As right now, I have to do this using patchnotes.json, which loads ~800 kb of information I don't really need. But if I were to make this query on a very lightweight patch.json (< 10kb), I would only get information on the latest major DotA 2 patch (7.32).

Would it be possible to add subpatches to patch.json? This would make cache pruning a lot more efficient for some of my scripts.

Missing new kaya and aeon disk item ids.

Looks like they were renamed from trident and combo_breaker.
