Dota 2 ascii art converter

Dota 2 ascii art converter

It turns out that the 7.00 patch with the UI update completely removed this feature. There are no colors in the chat even from manual copy and paste.

I won’t delete this guide just in case this is actually a bug which Valve is willing to fix. When that happens I will update this guide if something will be different.

Link to all symbols with names of colors (go for the RAW Paste Data to see them):

All you have to do is to copy the symbol before the number and copy it to the chat.

Here they are invisible. They are between the dot and the number. If you do it correctly you should be able to copy them from here. Or you could just copy it with the dot and the number and delete them afterwards. I also added them after the each arrow, so choose the way you like the most.

The best way of managing those is to create your own. txt file with notepad and copy all of the stuff there. This way you will always have easy access to them even without this guide. Some of the color symbols however appear differently in notepad (like arrow or as space made with tabulator key) and some will become completely invisible.

The symbol in the dota 2 chat will appear as white rectangle:

The text in front of the symbol will appear in desired color:

You can bind colored text to some key. However you won’t be able to see color symbols in the dota 2 console. So I suggest opening notepad first so you can configure your text there and constantly alt tab to dota to check if your text looks like you wanted. If you want to have some space between your nickname and your text you have to use some color symbol first since it won’t work otherwise when binding. If you want the space but you do not want to change the color just use the default color symbol then.

As you can see color symbols are invisible in the console. But it doesn’t matter, it still works fine once you press enter. For binding I suggest using numerical keyboard buttons. They start with kp_ prefix (remember to have Num Lock turn on when testing binds!). Instead of say command you can use say_team so only your team will be able to see it. And by the way emoticons unfortunately do not work with say/say_team commands.

And the final result.

You won’t be able to use binds in menu chat and spectator chat. However you still will be able to use colors in spectator chat when you paste your binds/color symbols manually into the chat. But there is some bug in spectator chat and some colors will appear differently. I saw light blue color come out of silver color. But I do not know how to get it normally.

Here are some symbols that I have find out that work in dota. Dota 2 ascii art converter With those you could get creative and make some awesome binds. Some symbols can look a bit different in game.

If you want to check out more symbols search for ascii symbols/acii art/twitch copy pastas/unicode characters and so on. But you will have to check it by yourself if those symbols work in Dota. Dota 2 ascii art converter Lenny faces do not work (thank god!).

If you have found some new symbols that work in dota then please post them in the comments so I can add them in this section.

If you want your text to be fullwidth like in “PAUSE” example then use this site:

I will give you some examples on how to use those colors and symbols to inspire you to make your own binds. I won’t be publishing the “source code” of those binds (so don’t even ask for them in the comments). You can easily recreate them since I posted all you need to know to make them but I really want you to make your own stuff. So please treat those as inspiration. And do not forget that you can use them as informative binds like with the Pause example in other section.

You can use binds to react to awesome/atrocious moments ingame:

You can also repay the annoyance to non-English speaking Russians spamming in the chat:

Or you can use them to have some fun in spectator chat. However you have to paste them manually, because binds do not work in spectator chat. So prepare yourself a. Dota 2 ascii art converter txt file beforehand to easily copy them. But remember to have some 3-6min pauses between posting those:

And if the chat is rebelling against your team you can always response with friendly banter by posting something like this:

If you want to share your own work feel free to post the links to screenshots of your binds in the comments.

Do not overuse those binds. People react differently to them. Some players have really good laugh at well placed bind (I was surprised that even some Russians laugh at that flag bind) but some just get more annoyed. Especially when you spam them constantly.

All I can say to warn you is that since I started using them I got my first reports.

I realize that multiple guides about chat colors already exist. But most of them do not have easy to copy color symbols. And many of them use the same colors multiple times (however some of those colors are different but they are so similar that there is no point in showing them). Or some colors simply do not work. I also want to have a list of colors that I would easily recognize and use directly ingame (why none have made a rainbow is beyond my understanding).

If you like the gu >[majan22.deviantart. com] where I sometimes post stuff like faceswaps of Dota 2 heroes which you can use as your profile images.

Let’s hope that UI update won’t break those colors.
