Mina
Alternative black and red mina (asset mashup) — Mina skins for Deadlock
My first mod, created for my personal use. I have created pretty much nothing in this mod - all of the textures are taken from other authors, who will be listed below. All I did was combine the texture files and photoshop some of the textures together. If any of the authors have a problem with me using their textures - message me and I will remake them myself (now that I have the skills to do it). So, the original authors and their mods: Skupnock 's " MINA-BlackWhiteRed " The dress and the hair are from their mod. Actually, their mod is the reason this mod exists. I thought their black variant had too many red accents in it. gyzeh 's " Goth Mina " The lipstick, upper side of the umbrella, the gun and the charm are from their mod. MrOreb 's " Crimson Baddie Mina " The lower side of the umbrella, the legs (even though both of those textures are very close to her default model, it was just more convenient for me to use them at the time) and the character select background are from their mod. aiienchi 's " Mina face tweak " I tried to make this mod work with their mod as an option, but it introduced bugs. I had no choice but to combine the textures.
Compatibility
Model replacements are the first thing to break when Valve edits a skeleton, so re-check after each patch. It conflicts with any other mod replacing the same Mina asset — two in the addons folder means whichever loads last wins, and the other one silently does nothing.
Is it safe
It is client-side: the file lives on your machine and other players see the default game. Cosmetic addons have not produced bans, but Deadlock is in active development and nothing about mods is officially supported. Keep a copy of the folder before a patch and remove it if the game stops launching.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install Alternative black and red mina (asset mashup)?▾▴
.vpk into game/citadel/addons and name it pak01_dir.vpk. That folder only loads once gameinfo.gi lists it, which is a one-time edit — check the install guide.Is Alternative black and red mina (asset mashup) safe to install?▾▴
.vpk is a data archive, not a program, so it cannot execute code the way an installer can. The risk is provenance. This one has 2,116 installs, so a problem would have surfaced on its GameBanana thread. Mods with almost no downloads from accounts with no history have had none of that scrutiny.Will other players see this skin?▾▴
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾▴
pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.Does it still work after the latest patch?▾▴
gameinfo.gi and remove your search paths, which stops every manually installed mod at once — redo that edit and they come back. Separately, model replacements break first when Valve edits a skeleton; recolours and HUD mods usually survive. The author posts updates on the GameBanana page.Where does the download come from?▾▴
How do I remove Alternative black and red mina (asset mashup)?▾▴
.vpk from game/citadel/addons, or toggle it off in the Deadlock Mod Manager library. Mods never overwrite game files, so nothing needs repairing afterwards.
