# Dota 2 Maps and Scenes

<p align="center"><img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-maps/resolve/main/assets/banner.png" alt="Dota 2" width="900"></p>

**Every map and scene of Dota 2 as glTF (`.glb`)**: the main map and its seasonal versions (winter, spring, summer, autumn, desert, jungle, reef, cavern, TI10, Crownfall...), event and tutorial maps, the hero page backgrounds, MVP screens, treasure openings, main menu, battle pass and event scenes, terrain previews. Meshes, materials and textures inside each file. 655 files, 20.4 GB.

## What's inside

| Folder | What | Files | Size |
|---|---|---:|---:|
| `scenes/scenes/` | MVP screens, treasures, menus, events | 427 | 6.4 GB |
| `scenes/backgrounds/` | hero page and menu backgrounds | 145 | 5.5 GB |
| `scenes/*` | the main map, its seasonal versions, event and tutorial maps | 26 | 7.2 GB |
| `scenes/terrain_previews/` | terrain previews | 24 | 1.0 GB |
| `scenes/events/` | event maps | 11 | 176 MB |
| `scenes/prefabs/` | prefabs | 11 | 98 MB |
| `scenes/ui/` | interface scenes | 7 | 15 MB |
| `scenes/crownfall_assets/` | Crownfall | 1 | 1 MB |
| `scenes/tilesets/` | tilesets | 1 | 87 MB |

| Path | What |
|---|---|
| `scenes/<map>.glb` | A map package (`maps/<map>.vpk` in the game) |
| `scenes.json` | The scenes the site uses, with their lights, cameras and fog |

Some scenes are frames the game fills by code (a camera, lights, the spot where a hero stands) and come out empty; the models they place are in [dota2-models](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-models).

## How to use it

**One file, straight from its link** (works in a browser, an `<img>`, `fetch`; served with CORS):

```
https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-maps/resolve/main/scenes/dota.glb
```

**Python** ([huggingface_hub](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub)):

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download, snapshot_download

# one file
path = hf_hub_download("Sqls1/dota2-maps", "scenes/dota.glb", repo_type="dataset")

# a whole folder
snapshot_download("Sqls1/dota2-maps", repo_type="dataset", allow_patterns="scenes/backgrounds/*", local_dir="dota2-maps")
```

**Command line** (`pip install -U huggingface_hub`):

```bash
hf download Sqls1/dota2-maps --repo-type dataset --include "scenes/backgrounds/*" --local-dir dota2-maps
```

**Find anything:** `files.json` at the root lists every file with its size, one download instead of walking the folders:

```js
const { files } = await (await fetch("https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-maps/resolve/main/files.json")).json(); // [[path, size], ...]
```

## How it stays up to date

Converted from the game's map packages by `scenes.js` with [Source 2 Viewer](https://github.com/ValveResourceFormat/ValveResourceFormat). The [tracker](https://github.com/S1nuxoff/dota2-game-tracker) checks Steam every six hours; after a game update it exports only what changed and removes what the game removed. Everything at the game's own paths, so a file you know from the game is easy to find.

Made for [Dotadex](https://s1nuxoff.github.io/Dotadex/), a site that shows every Dota 2 hero and cosmetic in 3D as the game does, and open to everyone.

## The whole family

- [dota2-data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-data): every script and text of the game as JSON (items, heroes, abilities, 28 languages)
- [dota2-images](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-images): every picture of the interface: icons, portraits, loading screens
- [dota2-videos](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-videos): every video of the interface: animated hero portraits, trailers
- [dota2-models](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-models): every 3D model: heroes, cosmetics, units, buildings, props
- [dota2-textures](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-textures): every texture of the 3D models and maps, on its own
- [dota2-particles](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-particles): every particle effect system and its textures
- [dota2-sounds](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-sounds): every sound: voice lines, abilities, music, announcers
- **dota2-maps**: every map and scene: the main map, events, backgrounds, MVP screens (this one)
