Dota v 83b Сhangelog

Features

Full price selling

You can now sell last bought item for full price. Last bought item isn't attached to item itself. For example, you can buy 2 branches and sell back any of them - you will still get full price back. But be careful - only one item tracked, so second branch won't be affected by this change at all.

More examples: you can buy Soul, Point and Vitality boosters to combine Soul Booster. Last bought item would be Vitalilty Booster, and only if you sell it you'll get refund. Selling Soul booster won't give 100% price, either won't affect price of it's components.

This system doesn't work for consumables (Clarities, Salves, Tangoes, Wards, etc) and Ring of Health (875 g). This is required to prevent some abuses.

Glyph cannot be penetrated anymore

Glyph of Fortification now negates any damage, received by structre. It's impossible now to destroy structure under effect of the Glyph. Note that allied damage will be healed back as well - no easy denies.

T1 towers no longer invulnerable

First towers are no longer invulnerable. They used to be invincible until first creep wave spawn, but now you can harm enemy's towers on your will. Remember - Glyph cooldown drops to zero once first creep wave spawns, so enemy can easily defend their structure.

Bottle charge share

You can now heal ally using your bottle - just drop it into his inventory! Works only for bottles, carried by hero, and can only target allied heroes. When bottle given to courier or something else it won't activate healing. If bottle lays on the ground nearby owner and allied hero tried to pick it up, it will be counted as transfer - ally won't have bottle in inventory, while owner will get his bottle back into inventory. This system works only in close range.

Backpack disassemble

You can disassemble some items directly in your inventory. To perform that you have to make 4 right clicks on item in a row. Thats require to avoid missclicks and other stuff. Disassemble works for: Perseverance, Ring Of Basilius, Shivas Guard, Mjollnir, Arcane Boots, Helm Of The Dominator, Manta Style, Ethereal Blade, Sange And Yasha, Ring Of Aquila, Abyssal Blade.

Smooth healing

Healing stuff (bottle, salve, clarity, Rune of regen) now heals your up immediately instead of every second. Thats mean you will get some hitpoints even if Salve would be dispelled by enemy attack right after use.

One-click Morph

Morphling's Morph no longer have "single cast" - it transtates order into autocast. So, pressing D or F will turn related autocast on/off. Of course, you no longer can "preciously" setup your agi/str. Let me know, if this disadvantage have REALLY big impact on your game style.

+ = <3

Advanced Testing

Some people, who previously worked with my DotA test map, may recall some good test commands. Most used ones were ported as well - they can make testing as powerful as online-gaming for single players. All you have to do is play in Single Player mode - there are no other way to use this commands due to their specific.

You can find IDs of items/units at PlayDota's thread.
