Yamato
[Dignified Blossom!] Hoshimi Miyabi Yamato — Yamato skins for Deadlock
Have been making this mod for quite a long time. It is the first mod I have ever made for any game, and after so many updates, I am finally very happy with the results. Installing mods guide. Otherwise you can use a mod loader/manager. Current features: - Model and weapon replacement. - Custom hero select screen with animation. - Dignified Blossom variant! (New) - Christmas variation. (Broken) - Hair physics. - Fox ears physics. - Jacket physics. - Skirt physics. - Accessories physics. - Jiggle physics. - Particle replacement: skills 1, 3 and 4. - Alt fire replacement: Foxfire. - Icon replacement including kill streak and critical icons (big thanks to FatTony), as well as English stylized hero name. - Deadlock's new FOV system. - Hero and weapon name replacement in every available language as a separate mod. - Hero VO replacement (Optional): - English: includes grunts and some pings. - Chinese: includes much less grunts and voice line variations, doesn't include pings. Please report issues if you find any.
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 Yamato 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 [Dignified Blossom!] Hoshimi Miyabi Yamato?▾▴
.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 [Dignified Blossom!] Hoshimi Miyabi Yamato 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 210,215 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 [Dignified Blossom!] Hoshimi Miyabi Yamato?▾▴
.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.
