Commands

  • dota_minimap_hero_size 700 – will make the size of the hero dot on the minimap as big as you want. Default = 600.
  • dota_disable_range_finder 0 – by default you only see the range of spells when you hover your mouse on the spell icon. With this set to 0 it will show you the range when you actually click to use the spell on someone. Default = 1.
  • dota_always_show_player_names – 0 will disable, 1 will enable player name on top of health bars. Default = 0.
  • dota_hud_healthbars – 1 will make your health smoother without the lines you see on health bars (the blocks in the health that divides at around 200 life per block). 3 will enable it back on and 0 will make all health bars disappear, the others do nothing apparently. Default = 3.
  • dota_unit_use_player_color – As the command suggests, it colors it player either individually or an unified color by team. 1 Enables individual colors, 0 Team color. Default = 1.
  • dota_player_units_auto_attack – This is in the settings, but I find it too darn useful. 0 Will stop auto-attacking and only attacks IF you click to attack, whereas 1 will auto-attack at all possible times. Default = 1.

EDIT: More commands,

  • dota_camera_accelerate 49 – This will make the camera stop exactly where you want it, 0 will make you unable to move your camera. Thanks uw_NB and Pyros.
  • dota_force_right_click_attack 1 – This will enable right click deny!!!!!!!!!!
  • dota_health_per_vertical_marker 200 – This will determine how much health you wish to divide the vertical lines by. In the demonstration value it will draw a line each 200 health, but you can choose your own value.
  • tv_nochat 1 – Disable spectator chat, which can really be annoying some times. Thanks Shabazza

EDIT4: I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to approach the autoexec.cfg, so I decided to share mine: http://paste2.org/followup/1805667

Make a file named autoexec.cfg, edit the file and add the content provided in the link above, then move the autoexec.cfg file to this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg
