Mina
[Vriska: Replace Mina] - (Homestuck) — Mina skins for Deadlock
This mod began as a comedically impractical jape to give Mina some of that alternian pizazz. a pair of horns, perhaps a sharpie-operated spa day... all in a day's work right? Two weeks have elapsed since that day ... And at last, the queen of controversy makes her entrance, bringing an endless supply of Vriskourse to the neverending backstab buffet of the cursed apple. I started this project as a joke skin for a friend of mine, and because I am chronically incapable of not committing to the bit, this mod has unironically been in the works longer than some of my university assignments. it's not perfect, but I'm still rather proud of it considering it's my first mod for Deadlock ! Of course, a list of bothersome bugs will be included further below. By the same token, a list of features is included alongside it. Regardless, should you choose to download this mod, I just hope you have fun! though... should you be subjected to unbearable strife by your enemies (or teammates), simply remember: Vriska did nothing wrong Feature List: Heavily altered Mina model Edited VFX including new models for every ability Edited reload VFX Custom Hud Icons Everything has been renamed New gun model (ported over from TF2 Custom hero selection screen Hero Icons (Using both her Pesterquest and Homestuck sprites) MeGaLoVaNiA plays during Ult Known Issues: when played by another player, Mina ends up stuc…
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 Mina 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 [Vriska: Replace Mina] - (Homestuck)?▾▴
.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 [Vriska: Replace Mina] - (Homestuck) 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 12,722 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 [Vriska: Replace Mina] - (Homestuck)?▾▴
.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.
