Dota 2 Resource Lookup

This repository contains an auto-generated resources.json lookup table for all VMLD and VPCF files used in Dota 2.

The lookup table allows you to properly identify which particles and models are loaded. The resource hash in the json is equivalent to the ID found in all the IResourceHandle<> attributes (e.g. m_nModelIndex) as well as the index for all PARTICLE_CREATE packets.

Format

The file is layed out like this:

{
    "time": "<Time when this file was generated>",
    "entries": {
        "<Hash of resource>": "<Path to resource>",
        "<.......>"...
     }
 }

Usage

Import resources.json into your program. That's it.

Generating

The code that generates this file is part of a larger non-public project at the moment and can't be copied out easily. See the following blog post for an explanation on how you can generate the data yourself, includes source code: http://invokr.org/reverse-engineering-dota2-resource-handles.html
