Checkers Solomon (Violet Cam Fix) — Solomon skins for Deadlock
Changes the pieces on his board to be Checkers Pieces. Either default White or Red for Checkers. Currently this does not change the models for the Abilities, which I know is stupid considering its still Chess. I just wouldn't know how to turn them into checkers without it being bad. If I just put the checker flat on the floor, it would be too small and it would be a visibility issue. If I stand it up, thats fine, but I would need to do it for 5 different pieces and there isn't much to do besides Normal Checker, and Crowned Checker. I could do stacks of checkers, but I really don't like that idea either. If I come up with an idea or read one, I will try my hardest to implement it, but for the time being its just the Board's Ammo. Also might in the future change the color of the pieces though.
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 Solomon 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 Checkers Solomon (Violet Cam Fix)?▾▴
.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 Checkers Solomon (Violet Cam Fix) 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 206 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 Checkers Solomon (Violet Cam Fix)?▾▴
.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.
