Grimoire v1.16.0

Grimoire is a mod manager and companion tool for Deadlock. Browse and install mods from GameBanana, manage installed mods with drag-and-drop priority ordering, organize hero skins in the Locker, design crosshairs with real-time preview, edit your autoexec.cfg, save and switch between mod profiles, and detect file conflicts between mods. Available for Windows and Linux.

This release is a Browse overhaul: mod details can now dock as a resizable sidebar, clicking an artist opens a new artist view with their full catalog and social links (with real brand icons), and scrolling is dramatically smoother. The Locker's 3D preview now shows your full active skin stack, downloads can auto-enable when they finish, and three community contributors landed fixes and polish across the app.

What's New

New Features

  • Dockable mod details sidebar. Mod details can open docked beside the grid instead of as a window: pick Window or Sidebar in the View menu or use the dock/pop-out button, and drag the sidebar edge to resize (the width is remembered).
  • Artist mode. Click an artist anywhere in Browse to see all their mods, along with social and contact links from their GameBanana profile (including Ko-fi).
  • Real brand icons for artist socials. Bluesky, Discord, TikTok, Patreon, Steam, Reddit, SoundCloud, Spotify, Carrd, Linktree, Tumblr, DeviantArt, Mastodon, and Threads now show their actual logos instead of a generic globe, and the existing six platforms switch to filled glyphs so the badge row reads consistently.
  • Locker 3D previews show your full skin stack. Hero previews now merge every active skin for the hero (matching what you see in game) instead of only the most recently enabled one, with caching per stack and a fallback to the single-skin path if the merge fails.
  • Auto-enable finished downloads. A new default-off setting enables mods automatically once their download completes; one-click installs disable sibling variants first so you don't end up with two variants of the same skin active.

Changed

  • Much smoother Browse scrolling. Scroll start/stop no longer re-renders the page or busts card memoization, the docked sidebar no longer re-renders while you scroll the grid, and card text renders crisper with better contrast.
  • Category browsing works offline. GameBanana category trees are now served from the local mods cache first, so Browse and the Locker populate instantly and keep working without a connection.
  • The hero-pose cache cleans up after itself. Posed 3D previews (50-95 MB each) used to accumulate forever; stale entries are now swept at startup and after each export, and least-recently-used entries are evicted past a 2 GiB cap.
  • UI polish across Browse, Installed, Locker, and variants. Responsive card sizing, Locker browse shortcuts and an expand-list-cards-by-default preference, type-to-jump in the hero filter, download-queue tooltips that name the mod, and consistent checkbox and reorder styling in the variant picker.

Bug Fixes

  • Overlapping dialogs on the Installed page. Fix Unknown Mods and Import Custom Mod could render entangled with page content; they now portal to the document body and overlay the viewport correctly.
  • Completed downloads no longer report as failed. If the new auto-enable step errored after a download finished, the whole download was marked failed even though the files were installed; the download now completes and the enable error is logged instead.
  • Mod details scrolling. The details view scrolls correctly again, and comments and release notes got a cleaner presentation.
