Sunlock — other/misc for Deadlock

Replaces the skybox with the old one and changes post-processing to accommodate it. Makes the game brighter. Wanted to call the mod "Daylock" but another mod already has that name lol. There are two versions of this mod. Default and the alternative one. Default has a warmer and more saturated colour palette while alternative is cooler. Difference between Default gameinfo and the edited OptimizationLock gameinfo is minimal, but having Optimizationlock as a base for your config optimizes the game really well. Main difference is FOV/LOD, on Optimizationlock gameinfo some of the buildings will pop in and out of existence. Both settings can be easily changed through notepad. " r_mapextents " controls LOD " citadel_camera_hero_fov " controls FOV IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: The vpk is installed by just tossing it into the addons folder in \ Deadlock\game\citadel\addons . Or you can do it through your mod manager. The archive with the mod also contains 2 gameinfo.gi files to turn off the excessive fog. First one is based on the vanilla gameinfo and only has the fog fix, second one is based on OptimizationLock by Sqooky . After choosing which one you want to use, change its name to just gameinfo.gi and replace the vanilla one. gameinfo.gi is located in \Deadlock\game\citadel Also check out tacticalpan's skybox mod . It keeps the fog while this mod turns it off completely.

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 Sunlock?▾
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 Sunlock 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 6,449 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 Sunlock?▾
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.
