SteamNotes — hud for Deadlock

SteamNotes is a mod that keeps player identities recognizable even when their in-game names change. Download. The main download is the clean Standalone build. QOL Lock users must choose the separate QOL-compatible version. Features. Shows saved nicknames in the ESC player list, mini-profiles, and result screens. Displays saved nicknames in the top bar, regardless of their current in-game names. Highlights builds created by saved accounts, making them easier to be identified. QOL Lock compatibility. Do not combine the standalone SteamNotes build with QOL Lock. Both modify overlapping Panorama UI files, so some interface features may break. If you use QOL Lock, download the separate QOL-compatible version from the list. In order to load players in-match with QOL Lock, enable HUD > Show Player Ranks in QOL Lock settings. SteamNotes must load before QOL Lock and other UI mods. Use pak01_dir.vpk for SteamNotes and pak02_dir.vpk or later for the remaining UI mods. SteamNotes Settings. You can open SteamNotes menu directly from the ESC menu. Top-bar appearance and build-author highlighting are optional and can be disabled independently. Related links. Import and export data.

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 SteamNotes?▾
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 SteamNotes 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 67 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 SteamNotes?▾
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.
