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

Opposing team color combination:
The RGB for the enemy team is dota_enemy_color_r, dota_enemy_color_g, dota_enemy_color_b (ie: dota_enemy_color_r 1). Below are some colors the enemy team can be:

R, G, B all set to 1: White

EDIT2: More commands, better format.
EDIT3: Added some more.
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)Steamsteamappscommondota 2 betadotacfg
Remember to upvote if this helped you
I've researched the web carefully and went on about 20 pages, either from Steam itself or from this website or among other forums. Since I'm a StackOverflow user, I decided to give here a try:
I have steam on my PC for a long time. Not sure if I re-installed Windows at some point or not, but today I wanted to go back to play a few games so I managed to get Steam up and running again (D:GamesSteam, deleted the ClientRegistry.blob and ran the steam.exe as Admin.)Apparently, Steam is running fine, it even recognize that I have Dota 2, Free to Play (the documentary) and Rocksmith installed (though needs update). But the one game I want to play (Left 4 Dead) it says it's not installed.
- If I try to install it, it gets stuck HERE:
- I can't repair it because ..
I'm looking for ANY ANSWER AT ALL other than
delete the files of the game from [..]commonsteamapps and re-download everything
. Since Dota 2 and other games were easily recognized (automatically), I was hoping there were something I could do to avoid downloading billions of bytes again (it will take me more than 24hrs to re-download everything).
1 Answer
You could try this:
- Move the game folder to a different location.
- Click on
Delete Local Content
for the game in Steam if available. - Initiate the installer.
- Once it begins downloading, pause and close Steam.
- Move the original game folder back into where Steam is downloading the new files.
- Run Steam and if it doesn't automatically do so, verify file integrity.

Console commands[edit]
- Games running on the Source engine can utilize Source Engine Console Commands for various tasks.[8]
Enabling the console in Source games[citation needed]
Notes
|
Creating your own CFG (to run multiple console commands together)[edit]
A CFG is a file that contains a list of commands that when run will attempt to execute them all
Unable To Execute Command Left4dead2.exe Steam Game Left4dead2 Novid 2
Open a text editor such as Notepad and type in all the commands you want separating each with a ;
When done save the file as filename.cfg in <path-to-game>left4dead2cfg
. To run the cfg file, open the console during the game and type in exec filename.cfg
If you want the CFG file to run automatically, name it autoexec.cfg
Notable Workshop mods[edit]
The game has a huge variety of mods, however, what may be 'better' is subjective and opinionated (so Shrek Tank won't be listed here, for example). These mods help improve the base game, though use them at your discretion.
Graphics
- Improved Blood textures (alternative is Paintball)
- Left 4 Dead 2 HD Remaster - HD texture pack
- Post process disabler (can also increase FPS. Note: This disables the black and white that lets you know you'll immediately die the next time you go down)
UI
- Team Health Counter - Adds numbered HP for teammates.
- Urik Color Icons - Adds color to the black-and-white icons.
- SFKTeam's custom main menu - Makes splitscreen easier.
Audio
- Resident Evil Weapon Sounds (low mid) - Lowers the volume of loud gunshot sounds, but has a glitch with the combat shotgun where there is a very loud static noise after each shot.
- Shut Up Survivors - Mutes some of the more annoying survivors' quotes. Important quotes are left intact.
Gameplay
- Improved Bots (Advanced) - Makes the bots less stupid. The advanced version of this mod is not compatible with SFKTeam's custom main menu mod, but Improved Bots (Simple) is.
Third person support[edit]
- An instant mod is 3PS
Input these 5 commands in the console.
Alternate third person which places the player in the center under the crosshair and raises the camera higher.
Pressing F10 will toggle between first and third person. You will have a greater FOV.
Some warnings:
- Some cutscene intros may be angled incorrectly.
- You may see a weird inaccurate weapon shadow.
- The crosshair may be slightly off-center. You can mess around with the 'cam_idealyaw' function to correct this. This isn't usually a hindrance anyway.
- Flashlight glows may be seen at your character's back.
- When survivors heal you, their animations will look glitchy.
- The camera may occasionally see through walls and objects.
- The shotgun will sound very quiet. Try this, however, it may cause online games to crash.
- The motion blur for the fire axe and possibly other melee weapons may look ridiculous. Here's a mod to remove melee motion blur.
- Switching between first and third person in-game may cause the HUD to disappear.
- Dying and entering new areas may revert it to first person.
Useful split-screen commands[edit]
Unable To Execute Command Left4dead2.exe Steam Game Left4dead2 Novid 2 Solucion
Since Split-screen mode in Left 4 Dead 2 isn't officially supported, there are multiple important key settings which aren't immediately available.
Command | Description |
---|---|
connect_splitscreen localhost [ip-address] 2 | Connect to a LAN or Internet server. Direct connections must be allowed |
[cmd/cmd2] jointeam (2/3) | Assign selected player (cmd) to either survivor or infected team |
ss_map <map-name> [realism/survival/versus/mutation# | Play the selected map in the desired mode |
ss_splitmode (0/1/2) | Toggle horizontal and vertical screen split (0 is auto selection) |
z_difficulty (Easy/Normal/Hard/Impossible) | Change game difficulty |
setinfo name Max | Change player 1 name |
name2 Tony | Change player 2 name |
Text chat with keyboard in controller mode[edit]
- If you play using a controller and want to use the text chat (press Y) online, you must do this.
Edit .cfg file[citation needed] Open the 360controller.cfg file, which can be found in the cfg folder in the installation folder. Make it '//unbindall' at the top.
|
Enabling HBAO+ for Nvidia graphics cards[edit]
- Use the Ambient Occlusion flag
0x00000014
withQuality
orHigh Quality
.
Using Ambient Occlusion flag 0x00000014 [citation needed]
|
Remove item/character glows[edit]
Some players may wish to remove the item glows and/or character glows since they are unrealistic and makes knowing where other players/items are too easy.
In the installation folder, in the 'cfg' folder, in the 'autoexec.cfg' file in Notepad, add these lines. If there is no 'autoexe.cfg' file, then copy and paste 'autoexec.360' and rename it.
Copy and paste the following lines:
Command line arguments[edit]
- See command line arguments on how to use the following options.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
-w X -h Y | Sets screen resolution (or window resolution if using -window). Example: -w 1920 -h 1080 . |
-refresh X | Sets your screen refresh-rate (Hz). Example: -refresh 60 . |
-noborder -window | Launches the game in a borderless fullscreen window (i.e. very alt-tab friendly). This may result in a minor performance loss. If you experience stuttering, disable Windows Aero. |
-novid | Skip intro videos. |
-high | Sets the game's priority to High. |
-autoconfig | Restores video and performance settings to default for the current hardware detected. Ignores settings inside any .cfg files until this parameter is removed. |
+mat_motion_blur_percent_of_screen_max 0 | Removes motion blur. |

Horizon in the middle of nowhere episode 1 english dubbed. But in the year 1413 of the Testament Era, the nations of the pocket dimensions invade and conquer Japan, dividing the territory into feudal fiefdoms and forcing the original inhabitants of Japan to leave. In order to find a way to return to outer space, the humans began reenacting human history according to the Holy book Testament. To accommodate the entire human population, pocket dimensions are created around Japan to house in the populace. It is now the year 1648 of the Testament Era, the refugees of Japan now live in the city ship Musashi, where it constantly travels around Japan while being watched by the Testament Union, the authority that runs the re-enactment of history. However, due to unknown phenomenon that prevents them from traveling into space, humanity returns to Earth only to find it inhospitable except for Japan.
