PyDotaConstants

PyDotaConstants is a Python library designed to provide structured access to Dota 2 hero and ability data. It allows developers to easily retrieve hero and ability information based on their code names and display names. This project is particularly useful for creating applications and tools that require detailed insights into Dota 2's capabilities and characters.

Current patch (Github only)

Features

  • Retrieve hero information by codename, ID, or display name.
  • Access ability information similarly through codename or display name.
  • Data is loaded from pre-compiled binary files, ensuring fast access and processing.
  • Supports a structured schema for hero and ability data that can be easily navigated.

Installation and Setup

To install the PyDotaConstants library, simply clone the repository and ensure the necessary data files are in place. The current data files are compiled as .pkl files and represented in the src/pydotaconstants/data directory.

git clone https://github.com/r41ngee/pydotaconstants.git
cd pydotaconstants

Basic Usage

To use the library, you can import the desired classes and access hero or ability data as shown below:

from pydotaconstants import Hero, Ability

# Get hero by codename
hero = Hero.getByName("npc_dota_hero_axe")
print(hero.displayName)  # Output: Axe

# Get ability by display name
ability = Ability.getByDisplayName("Hex")
print(ability.displayDescription)

Configuration

This library contains certain pre-compiled data files:

  • heroes.pkl: Contains data for all Dota 2 heroes.
  • abilities.pkl: Contains data for all Dota 2 abilities.
  • locals.pkl: Contains localization strings for heroes and abilities.
  • items.pkl: Contains data for all Dota 2 items.
