Shop Notes — hud for Deadlock
AI DISCLAIMER: this mod was made with AI assistance. Adds a Notes tab to the shop (buy menu): a big notepad for your own notes, right where you buy items. Counter items per hero, build reminders, anything you keep forgetting mid-match. What you get. A General page plus one page for every hero , picked from a drop-down with portraits (all released heroes and the upcoming ones). Saves as you type. Notes stay across matches, builds and game restarts. Light and dark mode (moon / sun button), blue text highlight, scroll bar. Click any shop tab to go back to the items; click the Notes tab again to return to the tab you were on. Your notes stay on your PC. Nothing is uploaded or shared; nobody else can see them. Note: Deadman Danny, Nurse Harrow, Violet and Solomon are not in the game yet, so their pages use the placeholder portraits from the game files. I will update their icons as soon as they are added to the game with proper portraits. Made for this request . Patch-resistant. No HUD layout is replaced. The mod adds one script line to two tiny layouts (hud_modifiers, hud_ability_panels_container) and builds the Notes tab while the game runs. If Valve renames the shop's panels, backups find them by type and style; if even that fails, the tab simply does not appear. It cannot crash the game. A watcher checks every Deadlock update against the files the mod depends on, so a broken upda…
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 Shop Notes?▾▴
.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 Shop Notes 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 62 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?▾▴
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 Shop Notes?▾▴
.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.
