This is discussed in more length on the Gamepedia DOTA 2 page for customizing game files. All of these paths are relative to your Dota 2 installation folder, so if your Steam library installs inside the Steam folder and Steam is installed in its default location all of these paths will be prefixed with
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2\dotaorC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dotaif you initially installed the game during beta:scripts\items\items_game.txtresource\flash2\images\econmaterials\console\loadingscreens,resource\flash3\images\hud_skinsandresource\flash3\images\emoticonsresource\flash3\imagesresource\flash3\images\heroesNote these locations may not physically exist on the filesystem as Dota 2 uses VPK files to store all of their data, this means you will need to create the relevant folders if you wish to override the VPK files.
