-This is the app that does the real magic. See how it appears when you install a theme?"

===2.2 FAQ===

Q: It starts, but gives an error when clicking a theme, how can I fix it?
A: Probably WinMPQ does not work. WinMPQ is in the "Data"-folder, try to run it. You can get help here:
http://shadowflare.samods.org/dwnload.html#WinMPQ

Q :Can this be made as a command like -ts?
A: No, because the cliffs can not be changed ingame.

Q: How does the DTM work?
A: It replaces the textures of terrain and trees in the MPQ.

Q: Can you add a theme-fitting minimap?
A: After trying this in several different ways, I came to the conclusion that it is not possible to do that at all.

Q: I use MAC, does it work for me?
A: No.

Q: The War3Patch.mpq's size grows each time I change the Theme
A: This is a bug I have not managed to fix yet. Use the backup from time to time to get rid of this problem.

===2.3 Troubleshooting===
This should help you fixing most problems...

Problem 1:
The DTM starts and installs a theme (WinMPQ opens and runs through a script), but the theme does not change.
=>Check the paths again (you can find them under 2.1).
If you have mutliple version of WC3 installed, check on which version you used the DTM.

Problem 2:
The DTM starts, but does not start WinMPQ when I click a Theme.
=>WinMPQ does not work, get help here: http://shadowflare.samods.org/dwnload.html#WinMPQ

Problem 3:
After I installed a theme and tested it, I got a fatal error while/after loading the map
=>first, try to restore to original and test again.
If it does not crash:
Problem should be fixed, you can install a Theme again.
If it crashes again:
Restore your War3Patch.mpq by using the backup (War3Patch.mpq.bak).
Delete the War3Patch.mpq then rename the War3Patch.mpq.bak to War3Patch.mpq,
copy it and rename the copy War3Patch.mpq.bak - then you can try again without risking a reinstall.

===DotA Theme Manager V3 - Readme===
1.1 Basic information
1.2 Credits
1.3 Changelog

2.1 Installing
2.2 FAQ
2.3 Troubleshooting

===1.1 Basic information===

The DotA Theme Manager changes the appearance of the Warcraft III world.
It works on most maps and might make them look quite bad because it is created for DotA,
changing that is not possible.
The changes are made by adding textures and models in the War3Patch.mpq,
which is prior to the War3.mpq and War3x.mpq. They are of purely visual nature,
you do not gain any advantage in gameplay using the themes!
When you start the DTM the first time, a backup of the War3Patch.mpq called War3Patch.mpq.bak is created.
If you have any problems after changing something, you can delete the War3Patch.mpq and remove the .bak from the backup.
In case you want to use the Theme Manager again, do not forget to create a new backup ;-)

The following changes to the appearance are possible:
-Beach Theme
-Hell Theme
-Snow Theme
-Barrens Theme
-"Pandaren" User Interface for every race
-"Demon" User Interface for every race
"Original" restores the Theme to original.

You can find the DotA Theme Manager in the internet; If you have questions that are not answered here
or if you have suggestions, you may ask in the forums of dota-allstars.com:
http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=185881

===1.2 Credits===

-Yak: huge support, blight texture for the Beach Theme
-laku_0o for his help with the GUI (he created the first one!)
-ereskigal, murdoc_rocks, Revil0, 4nTr4xX the ones above (stability tests)
