DOTA 6.49b Anti Map Hack Version

Good news to all anti map-hackers, PandaMine had designed an Anti Maphack Engine for DotA 6.49b. He fixed the replay desync bug, made various improvements and cinematic mode has been removed. Implementing this version will now cease the maphackers and bring back the game into an absolute strategic and fair game. I hope that this map will be recognized by the authors of the original DotA Allstars map and be encouraged to release the official AMH (Anti Maphack) version in its official website.

Because of this map hacking epidemic, I used to play some other games in Warcraft like TD (Tower Defense) maps instead of playing latest map versions of DotA. However, I discovered last week that AMH map version has been released. It will detect any maphacking software for the entire game and automatically kicks you out of the game if spotted using maphack. As soon as the game had started, it will pause at around 60 to 90 seconds. The content is still original done by IceFrog and you can download it through this link:

It feels great to win the game if fairly and honestly played.

Maphack Dominates DOTA All Stars

Maphack is a cheat used in some real-time strategy games such as Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne which endows a map visibility advantage or enables the player to see further of the map than the game expects them to see. I have known some resource sites of this and they have a lot more cheat programs other than maphack.

The website that provides cheats has been blocked by most of the internet cafés in Davao City for the reason that most DOTA players have been using this maphack program lately. But, do you think this action will solve to stop the map hacking problem? I don’t think so. What if some players will go to other internet cafés just to download the maphack? Even now I still observed several gamers are still using it, especially, those computer geeks. They really loved to play and win the game in a deceitful way.

I tried to prove that I’m right by testing this program. I’ve downloaded and send it to my personal e-mail. Then, I opened it to an internet café which disables maphack sites but damn, it is still working.

It’s getting worse than ever and I don’t know when this maphack will put into an end. I suppose that there are also some other hacking programs exist like, boosting up character’s gold, attributes, etc. When I played DOTA yesterday, I can’t believe that Rylai, the Crystal Maiden, had already some items like dagger, boots of travel and soul booster at level 10.

Isn’t it annoying? Well, there’s nothing we can do about this, until anti-maphack for local area network will be created.

I have made some poll here which will end on the 1st day of year 2008. Cast your vote for maphack if you are in favor on it, or if not, just click anti-maphack.
