###How do I use this?###
- Keep in mind it is still in development, and may be buggy
- IMPORTANT Dota will only load the first plugin in your addons folder, to prevent this, move all other addons out of your addons folder. (I moved mine into an addons_disabled folder) - ONLY the host has to do this. This is not required if you use d2fixups
- There is another guide here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Dota2Modding/comments/1ueg70/custom_gamemodes_how_to_play_frota_host_your_own/
- Download the zip (or clone if you are good enough)
- Stick the files into "Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\addons\Frota"
- If done correctly, the following folder should exist "Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\addons\Frota\HudSRC"
- Reopen dota after each install / update (hud might not update)
- Run the following command
- dota_local_custom_enable 1;dota_local_custom_game Frota;dota_local_custom_map Frota;dota_force_gamemode 15;update_addon_paths;dota_wait_for_players_to_load 0;dota_wait_for_players_to_load_timeout 10;map riverofsouls;
- NOTE If you reach the hero selection screen, it means Frota didn't load correctly! Frota should override / skip the hero selection screen, and take you directly to a vote screen! Please ensure you removed Frostivus (and any other addons) and then restart your client.
###How do I play with friend?###
- You need to setup a dedicated server, and port forward (or, you can use hamachi, but port forward is easier)
- Follow the guide here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=1911667&postcount=64
- Your addons folder should look like this (note: No DLL files are pictured) http://i.imgur.com/sUtBFki.jpg
- Google how to port forward, it is different for every router!
###Is there a way I can spawn test heroes?###
- Try the console command 'fake', it will fill the server with fake clients, and give each a hero (it requires sv_cheats 1)
###Hooks & Mod Events###
- There are many hooks and mod events to make making gamemodes easier.
- See the top of gamemodes.lua for the latest list of hooks and mod events.

###Issues that need help###
- When a player leaves the game, their slot isn't removed, and hence, someone else can't connect and take their place, this is caused by the limit of 5 players per team, someone solve this :P
###Up next###
- More work on the game mode system
- Which team actually won needs to be added (you can see via the scores, but an announcment would be nice)
- Improved picking
- Filters
- Build picking / generation
- Adding more addons + gamemodes
- The hud needs to be rewritten, once we know how to stop the hud from freezing (causes it to miss events), this rewrite will happen.
