Deadlock but Deadlock but x10 Mode

Deadlock x10 Mode - every skill upgrade (T1/T2/T3) is 10x stronger!

Base skills stay normal. Only the upgrades you buy with ability points get x10.

=== DOWNLOAD ===

1. This mod (everyone): the Download / 1-click install buttons on this page.

2. x10 Server Kit (only the player who hosts a server for friends - all features):

   https://github.com/JONE500I007/Deadlock-x10-mode-server/releases  ->  Deadlock_x10_ServerKit.zip

   (also under "Alternate File Sources" below)

=================================================

              HOW TO PLAY

=================================================

=== INSTALL ===

1. Install with Deadlock Mod Manager (or unzip the .vpk file into Deadlock\game\citadel\addons).

2. Launch the game modded.

=== PLAY SOLO ===

Just go to your Hideout - the x10 skills work there.

=== PLAY WITH FRIENDS: x10 SERVER KIT (recommended, all features) ===

One player hosts a server on their PC with the x10 Server Kit. Friends join over Steam - no port

forwarding. Everyone installs this mod (same version).

Download: Deadlock_x10_ServerKit.zip from https://github.com/JONE500I007/Deadlock-x10-mode-server/releases

The host also needs:

- .NET Runtime 10 (x64): https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0 (the setup checks it)

- Deadworks (server plugin loader): https://deadworks.net/ - the setup downloads it for you

HOST, first time:

1. Unzip the kit anywhere.

2. Close Deadlock and double-click  setup_server.bat

   (it finds Deadlock, downloads and installs Deadworks, the x10 plugin and the server settings)

HOST, every time:

1. Double-click  start_x10_server.bat  and wait until the map has loaded in the server window.

2. Join it yourself: press F7 in Deadlock and type  connect localhost:27016

3. Type  status  in the SERVER window and send friends the steamid, e.g. [A:1:1234567890:12345]

FRIENDS:

1. Settings -> enable "Dev command console".

2. Press F7 and type:  connect [A:1:1234567890:12345]   (the host's steamid; it changes every server start)

Server settings (damage to objectives, hero pool, hero lock ...): see README_SERVER.txt in the kit.

After a Deadlock update, run setup_server.bat again (it also updates Deadworks); if Deadworks does not support the new game

version yet, wait for a Deadworks update.

=== PLAY WITH FRIENDS: QUICK HOST FROM THE CONSOLE (no server-only features) ===

No extra downloads, but no server-only features (see "SERVER-ONLY FEATURES" below).

Everyone needs this mod installed (same version!).

HOST:

1. Settings -> enable "Dev command console".

2. Press F7 to open the console.

3. Type:  map dl_midtown

4. When the map is loaded, pause the game so friends have time to join.

5. Type:  status

6. Copy the "steamid" value, e.g. [A:1:1234567890:12345] (with the brackets) and send it to your friends.

FRIENDS:

1. Settings -> enable "Dev command console".

2. Press F7 and type:  connect [A:1:1234567890:12345]   (the host's steamid)

3. Pick a team and a hero. To switch later, type:  changeteam 0

Notes:

- The steamid changes every time the host loads the map - send the new one each time.

- If players crash often, use the x10 Server Kit instead (a dedicated server is more stable).

- After a Deadlock update, wait for a mod update before playing.

=================================================

              WHAT THE MOD HAS

=================================================

=== WHAT IT DOES ===

- Skill upgrades x10: damage, healing, lifesteal, fire rate, radius, duration, charges, spirit power, ammo, health, move speed,

  extra targets / projectiles / stamina ...

- NOT x10: base skills (level 0), cooldown upgrades (normal), recast/charge timing flags, a few counts that would lag the server

- Health per level-up (boon) x6.5

- Safety caps so the game stays playable (totals, base + upgrades):

  slows max 80% / bullet & spirit resist shred max 80% / melee resist shred max 95% / "enemies deal less damage" max 85%

  anti-heal max 90% / resist buffs max 80% / debuff resist max 85% / other percents (evasion ...) max 95%

  lifesteal max 175% / ability charges max 15 / move speed from upgrades max 35 m/s / cooldowns min 0.5s

- All 44 released heroes are playable:

  Abrams, Seven, Kelvin, Ivy, Haze, Mo & Krill, Infernus, Yamato, Lash, Sinclair, Vindicta, Paradox, Dynamo, Viscous, Wraith,

  Lady Geist, McGinnis, Drifter, Paige, Celeste, Mina, Vyper, Rat King, Billy, Grey Talon, Shiv, Bebop, The Doorman, Rem,

  Solomon, Pocket, Warden, Apollo, Mirage, Calico, Graves, Victor, Holliday, Silver, Baba, Nurse Harrow,

  Deadman Danny, Violet, Venator

=== IMPORTANT: WHERE IT WORKS ===

Skill values are calculated by the SERVER.

- Works: your Hideout, the x10 Server Kit (recommended), and a match you host from the console.

- Does NOT work: Standard, Ranked, Street Brawl, Bot Match, Sandbox, Custom Match.

  Those run on Valve's servers, so only the tooltips change - the real numbers stay normal.

=== SERVER-ONLY FEATURES (x10 Server Kit) ===

Some things can't be done with a mod file alone - the game's code limits them. They need the

x10 server (the x10 Server Kit, run by the host; players only need this mod).

On the x10 server:

- Solomon S1 (T2): up to 11 bishops (+10 Max Pieces)

- Mirage S2 (T3) / Apollo S1 (T3): recast up to 10 times within 60s / 40s

- Respawn 3s, no duplicate heroes, teams kept even

- Heroes deal 65% less damage to Guardians, Walkers, Shrines and the Patron (troopers deal normal damage)

- CC protection (stun, silence, root, sleep, disarm, fear ...): crowd-controlled for 7s in a row -> Unstoppable for 2.5s (then 15s cooldown)

Anywhere else (Hideout, console-hosted match):

- Solomon S1 shows 11 piece icons but only 2 bishops can be placed (the next press recalls them)

- Mirage S2 / Apollo S1: only 1 recast (the window is still 60s / 40s)

- Normal respawn times, no CC protection, normal damage to objectives

=== KNOWN LIMITS / NOTES ===

- New heroes Valve adds later are added to the mod after they are tuned.

- Graves S2 (T3) raises 5 extra ghouls. Many summons at once may lag the server.

- Mirage S3 (T3): +3 Max Marks (4 -> 7). More marks = more damage, but the stun needs max marks.

- Some tooltips describe the server-only behaviour (e.g. "Recast up to 10 times").

- Everyone should install the mod (same version), also on the x10 server. Without it you can still join,

  and the real skill values are x10 (the server decides), but your tooltips, range indicators and some

  HUD bars (e.g. Shiv's deferred damage) show the normal values.

- Values are still being balanced - expect changes between versions.
