Deadlock Soccer Stadiummaps for Deadlock

My very first mod of Deadlock! This is a map that use the interactable bouncing ball from the hideout being used as a football. Note: This map is entirely made from Kit bashing technique, optimization may be vary but isn't as terrible. It's recommended to play with a minimum of 3 players from each team, it is up to the house rules whether you want to use abilities/shooting or just melee'ing. To reset the ball simply let it fall into the goal. Score must be manually counted. For Hosters: (must read) The map MUST load in twice in order for it to works Load the map for the first time Leave Reload the map again (the map will only works if you do this step, thankfully only the server host needed to do it) How to open the map and host it Enable Dev console in the settings Press F7 Type in "Map soccer_stadium" Map will load you in be sure to do it twice as the instruction above. Type in "status" and copy the command line that says "steamid" copy only the part in square brackets [1234567890] as an example including the square brackets Now give that steamid status in like so "Status [1234567890]" to others so they can connect to the custom map server. Enjoy! By default the sandbox tools will be enabled Useful Cmds changeteam 01 > Spectator mode changeteam 02 > For Amber/HiddenKing side changeteam 03 > For Sapphire/ArchMother side citadel_allow_duplicate_heroes true > Allows people to us…

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 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 Deadlock Soccer Stadium?
Two ways. With Deadlock Mod Manager, use the Mod Manager button on this page and it downloads and places the file for you. By hand, put the .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 Deadlock Soccer Stadium safe to install?
A .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 694 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 mod?
No. Deadlock loads mods client-side, so the file only changes what you render. Everyone else sees the default game, in every mode including ranked.
Can I run it alongside other mods?
Yes, as long as they change different things — a skin and a HUD work together fine. Two skins for the same hero do not: only one can be applied, and Deadlock picks the lower-numbered file. With pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.
Does it still work after the latest patch?
A Deadlock patch can overwrite 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?
Directly from the author's GameBanana page. deadlocktrade.gg indexes mods and links back; it never rehosts files, so you always get the release the author published.
How do I remove Deadlock Soccer Stadium?
Delete its .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.
