Which version should I use?
• Rewritev2 uses Deadlock's V2 health bars. Use this one. It gets all new features and saves your settings on your PC.
• Rewrite (V1) is deprecated. It is no longer updated or supported.
No setup needed anymore
Deadlock now uses the V2 health bars by default. You no longer 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.
Settings save on your PC
Rewritev2 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, stops saving, and hides the Presets tab. The editor shows OLD PRESET VPK when this happens.

What Rewritev2 includes
• An Escape-menu editor split into General, Players, Indicators, Units, and Presets. Players has an Enemy / Ally switch, and less-used settings sit behind each page's ADVANCED button.
• 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.
• Pulse effects, kill markers, damage shake, health line colors, enemy stamina shapes, pickup timers and ultimate cooldowns.
• Optional custom colors and layout for troopers, neutral camps and buildings.
• Presets for All Heroes or selected heroes. Your hero is detected in matches, or you can pick one yourself.
• Optional ability-tier conditions that change a setting when an ability reaches a tier.
• Copy and import codes to share presets or move them to another PC.
Deprecated
• 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 current Rewritev2.
• The gameinfo.gi ConVars and the +citadel_unit_status_use_new 1 launch option.
None of these get updates or support anymore.
