Doorway Doorbell

YouTube

Ding dong! Doorman's doors finally sound like doors. Every open Doorway rings a little two-note doorbell, so the hotel actually feels like a hotel.

What it changes

• The open-door hum becomes a soft ding-dong doorbell.
• Both ends of a door take turns ringing, like someone's waiting at each one.
• The chime is quiet on its own, so the door sound is turned up a bit and carries a little further than stock, and it's positional so you can hear which way the door is.
• Prefer Valve's hum? The stockloop file keeps the stock sound with the same volume and range tweak.

Pick one file

Every option is its own zip. Install one, never two.

Not sure? Start with doorway_beacon_3s_quiet.

Install

Mod Manager: tick one file when it asks which to download, then install and enable it. To switch, remove the old one first.

Manual: close Deadlock, take pak01_dir.vpk out of the zip you picked, rename it to pak76_dir.vpk (any free number works) and drop it in Deadlock\game\citadel\addons.

Heads up

• Conflicts with other mods that change Doorman's sound script, like some Doorman song swaps.
• Once in a while both ends of a door might ring at the same time. The game decides that, not the mod.
• You hear the doorbell on every door, yours, allies' and enemies'. Players without the mod hear stock doors.
• Client-side only.

Made by WongBater. The chime is synthesised from scratch, no samples and no Valve audio. Inspired by the r/DeadlockTheGame thread "My teammates never EVER use my doors to escape fights". Deadlock belongs to Valve.
