Which version should I use?
• HP Colors v3 is the current version. Use this one. It gets all new features and saves your settings on your PC.
• Rewritev2 is deprecated. 2.2.6 is its last version. Your v2 settings and presets move to v3 by themselves.
• Rewrite (V1) is deprecated. It is no longer updated or supported.
No setup needed
Deadlock uses the V2 health bars by default. You do not need the citadel_unit_status_max_total_bars and citadel_unit_status_use_v2 lines in gameinfo.gi or the +citadel_unit_status_use_new 1 launch option. Just install the VPK.
Coming from Rewritev2
Replace your Rewritev2 pak02_dir.vpk with the v3 one. The first time v3 starts, it brings over your v2 settings and presets. Old v2 codes still import. Your v2 save is left alone, so you can go back to 2.2.6 if you need to.
Settings save on your PC
v3 saves your settings and presets by itself. They come back after you restart Deadlock. You do not need a preset VPK.
If you still have an old preset VPK (pak01_dir.vpk) from the web builder, delete it. It replaces the Escape menu and breaks the editor.
Downloads
• HP Colors v3
• HP Colors v3 + QOLLOCK 4.0.5
Install order
Standard:

Third Eye and ShowRank Barebones have no v3 version yet. If you need one of them, stay on Rewritev2 2.2.6 for now.
What v3 includes
• An Escape-menu editor in Deadlock's own style with BAR, HP TEXT, NAME, INDICATORS, UNITS and PRESETS pages. Enemy and ally settings sit side by side, and less-used settings fold under ADVANCED.
• SEARCH finds any setting by name or keyword and lets you change it right in the results.
• A live PREVIEW bar in the menu, with a health slider and PLAY DAMAGE / HEAL, so you see changes without closing ESC.
• Fixed or gradient bar colors for enemies and allies, plus heal, recent damage, shield and Rat King barrier colors for each side.
• Bar style: V1 (plain rectangle), V2 (the game's slanted bar) or OLD (2024-style 100 HP boxes).
• The game's own HP numbers for enemies and allies with size, font, color, outline, alignment and tilt. Ally HP text is off by default.
• Player name colors, size, position, alignment and tilt.
• CRITICAL, ASSASSINATE and UNKILLABLE labels: hide them or move them.
• Pulse effects, kill markers, damage shake, health line colors, enemy stamina as arrows, circles or boxes, pickup timers and ultimate cooldowns.
• Optional custom colors and layout for NPCs, neutral camps and objectives.
• A color for your own health bar at the bottom of the HUD: off, team color or custom.
• Up to 128 presets. Give a preset to any heroes and pick a default for the rest. Your hero is detected in matches and its preset switches in.
• Optional ability-tier conditions that change a setting when one of your abilities reaches tier 1, 2 or 3.
• Copy and import codes to share presets or move them to another PC.
• A notice in the menu when a new version is out, with a DOWNLOAD button for your version.
Deprecated
• Rewritev2 and its QOLLOCK, ShowRank Barebones and Third Eye builds. 2.2.6 is the last version.
• Rewrite (V1) and its QOLLOCK and ShowRank Barebones builds.
• The web preset builders (V1, Rewrite and Rewritev2). Make and share presets in-game with PRESETS and import codes there instead. Builder VPKs do not work with v3.
• The gameinfo.gi ConVars and the +citadel_unit_status_use_new 1 launch option.
None of these get updates or support anymore.
