Description

replaces hero icons with poorly-made redraws of the guy throwing rocks at elephant meme

the pictures are grabbed from the official deadlock discord and the subreddit r/DeadlockTheGame, so over time i will update the artist list based on where i grabbed those pictures

also my first mod ever

installation instructions

1. browse your local files of your game, specifically this directory,
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel
and locate a file named gameinfo.gi

2. download and extract the archive; inside i made a modified  gameinfo.gi file necessary for the mod, so all you need to do is copy the file to the directory in step 1 with replacement (but if you don't trust that file then look up other mods for the installation guide)

the game will reset the file every update so make sure you replace it again before playing

3. move the .vpk file to the following directory
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel\addons

if this is your first mod, the addons folder might not be there so you should create it

the number of the file name pak##_dir.vpk can be customized to any number between 00 - 99, so long as it doesn't match those of the other .vpk files in case you have multiple mods

4. boot up deadlock and watch your silly icons throw rocks at the elephants
