PR 343's Filmer becomes a Luau plugin mod (kept in contrib/plugins/filmer) on general APIs instead of
its own C++:
- reskate.skater.carry: something held out in one or both hands and aimed, the body crouched (feet
kept) and hunched over it, turned on the spot after it (Extension/Skater/carry.cpp, from the PR's
filmer_hold.cpp, with tests)
- shown = "everyone" | "others" | "me" on skater.pose, reach and carry: the pose sent to the other
players and the one drawn here are split when asked
- reskate.camera.cycle and the camera_cycle event: a plugin's camera as the last step of the camera
height button's cycle, after first person
- reskate.session.nametags(false) holds the names over the other players off
- board.hide(bone, {others = true}) hides it in the board the others are sent too (a sent-pose filter)
- outfit.set takes hand wear slots; input.bind takes an action with no key of its own
The item browser reads grids up to 4,096 rows, but the native list writer it
publishes them through refused more than 1,024, so a bigger tab failed with
"Native menu list is invalid." every pass. The writer now takes up to 4,096.
A dedicated server's park mods could only be spawned from its console, an admin's chat or a vote,
so a server plugin could not bring out the park its game is played in. A new permission,
server.parks, gives a server copy reskate.server.parks(), which lists the park mods set up with
whether each fits the map running now and is spawned (its objects and minutes left), and
reskate.server.park_spawn(name, minutes?) and park_remove(name), which return ok or false and why.
They go through park-mod add and remove, so the park limits, the map check and the chat lines stay
the server's. Their "[parks]" lines are logged "by plugin <id>". A name is a park mod's own (1 to 16
of a-z 0-9 - _) and minutes are 1 to 1440, or none for until removed. Reading the park files is not
part of this: a plugin brings what it needs to know about a park in its own package.
dingosdk_server_plugin_tests spawns and removes a park mod through a plugin and checks what it is
refused; dingosdk_plugin_tests checks the API on a server copy, and that a player's copy and a
plugin without server.parks cannot use it.

- reskate.entities.blueprints lists the game's object blueprints (meshes only if asked),
and reskate.entities.bounds gives a blueprint's box, so a mod can pick a prop by list or at random
- Attached objects take upright, turn and ground (a floor found within reach below), the "root"
joint, and a 6th options argument with solid; spawned props' bodies are found and ghosted
- reskate.skater.hide, reskate.world.pick, and skater.get gives right and switch
- reskate.console.command takes an optional 4th table of subcommands; the console lookup
suggests plugin commands word by word, and plugin commands lists the subcommands
- objbody: a test command for finding which body setter takes a prop out of collision
The SDK knew grind exits: reskate.skater.grind_exit took a toe/heel/left/right wish, and C++ worked
out the rail's direction, toe and heel from the stance and facing, the 1.8 m/s and the strength.
That logic is now the grind-exits mod's own Lua (plugin/exits.lua, kept on this machine). What has
to run on the physics thread is general:
- Extension/Skater/launches: every launch of the local skater (ollie, grind, no_comply, boneless),
classified by its call site and the state before it, with the board's direction of travel; the
`launch` event for plugins with events.skater; reskate.skater.shape_launch(from, {across, along,
up}) sets those speeds against the travel, one plugin a kind.
- reskate.skater.get() gains `right` (the root's right axis) and `switch` (the game's stance flag).
- Extension/Skater/pad_hide: reskate.input.hide's pad filter, out of the old grind exit file.
Removed: reskate.skater.grind_exit, the grind_exit event, GrindExitWish and GrindPop.
Physics state 701 is a grind too (the game checks it with 400 in about a dozen places; the
2026-10-11 measurement only reached the 400s): pops out of it were dropped, and skater_state called
it "other". Launches, skater_state ("grinding") and the trainer's grind pop all count it now.
Tests: the grind-exits plugin test drives the new path (11 checks of its own).
A plugin that calls flag.leave() on `open` (Tag and Infected outside a session) sent the game an
exit from a setup that never opened. The game never took it, and every later flag's setup waited
behind it. A registration left before its setup was asked for now just ends, from flag.leave()
and from the waiting card's Leave alike (leave_unopened).
The join card says which flag it read and how it was branded, or which buttons it has when it has
no Enroll; its branding errors were swallowed. Joining another player's plugin flag says whether
its plugin heard join, or why the player was taken out of its queue. A navigation that waits on
the game's says so every 3 s, and a setup that does not open in 15 s says so.
A plugin edited in another window reloaded at every save while the game was in the background.
A change found then is held, and loads once when the game window has the focus again (the log
says it waits); the first set of plugins still loads at once, focused or not.
The game's skater loader builds each recipe slot with that slot's own function, which puts the
item's appearance preset on a material named for the slot's kind ("Outfit_Top_mat"). An item worn
on top sits in another kind's slot, so its mesh found nothing under its own material ("Bottom_mat")
and drew white. The preset lookup guard's addEsShaderPreset hook now also puts the preset of an item
on top on its own kind's material (layer_materials.h: which presets those are, from each item's
catalog folder and AssetPaths; the five native functions checked by their first bytes).
The outfit service logs what goes on top and where, the slot trials, why an item is not worn and
what it waits for.
General APIs from pull request 269 (the player's own item tabs and outfit layers), whose tabs,
panels and prompts are now a plugin's (contrib/plugins/item-tabs, kept on this machine):
- reskate.menu.grid_show(keys): a plugin's list in the item grid that has the focus, drawn from
every grid of the screen; reskate.menu.grid_mark(keys): the game's check on tiles. menu.grid()
also says whether a list shows, whether it is empty, and where the grid's own prompts end.
- reskate.outfit.on_top(items) and on_top_state(): items worn on top of the outfit in the slots it
leaves empty, the item given the slot's category, a slot tried and left if the game reports a
failed load (ReSkate.layer_slots.txt remembers which load where); paid store items refused.
Part of the shared outfit service, with reskate.outfit.set.
- reskate.input.game_keys(keys): presses the game does not see, by any way it reads the keyboard;
"Delete" is a key name.
- d:game_image draws the customization menu's 17 category icons ("cas_tops", ...).
dingosdk_plugin_tests skips the test of a contrib plugin that is not on this machine.
Now that features are Luau plugins, nothing needs mods of ReSkate's own:
- The OFFICIAL tab and its rail tile are gone, with Launcher/official_mods (the backend's list, the
install, update and sync, and Play's wait for them).
- GET MODS lists and updates Board Break, Road Rash and the rest like any other package, and MY
MODS no longer marks them Official or keeps them out of UPDATE ALL.
- The merge may leave one out over a conflict like any other mod; the version stamp, the on/off
helpers and the move out of the old .reskate-official folder are gone from builtin_packs.
- Installed copies stay in Mods as ordinary mods. The retired first Board Break is still left out.
Resolved where main's trainer meets the plugin branch:
- Board Break, the drone, Road Rash, Hall of Meat and Grind Exits are plugins here, so their
built-in code stays deleted: the trainer no longer hands Board Break's wear values back (the
plugin does not tune physics), its QUICK SETTINGS list no longer names Grind Exits or Board
Break, and the drone's debug action and menu are not brought back.
- The trainer's pump power, gravity, revert boost and transition help run beside the plugins'
pushes and velocities on each physics step; both sides' new declarations are kept.
- The game's own pad reads go through game_pad_read (the gamepad filter, Dark Pop's D-pad hiding,
the grind sticks) and then the plugin branch's menu and hidden-button handling.
- The trainer's forced grind settings are noted as the stance like any other value.
From 2.1.1's Sentry reports (60,000 in three days, 2026-10-21):
- Textures: a stale render texture handle takes the game's default texture instead of reading
through null (Skate.exe+0x3e897fb, a third of all reports, every one with TheVlixOne-Nike_Pack 2.3.x).
- Physics: the wake pass's bitset is made as long as the world's owner list once indices pass
20000, after long multiplayer sessions (+0x3d99e2f, +0x3d9ee43, +0x3d9ee47).
- Music: more than 1024 candidates are picked by ReSkate; the game's shuffle wrote past its stack table.
- Streaming: a staged read's piece that reaches past its 64 KB buffer is left unfilled (VCRUNTIME memcpy).
- Multiplayer: a remote skater or board whose parent bus link is damaged is left alive instead of
destroyed (+0x2b94cd0).
- Mesh pool: on an integrated GPU its budget is capped by the RAM and page file free; the Memory
line says what the PC has left.
Launcher:
- A folder with non-ASCII letters is a hard stop (the boot crash +0x18df4cf came after "Start anyway").
- The game's data files are checked against the supported build's sizes (from Steam's manifest);
missing, cut-short or online-only files send the player to verifying.
- One game per folder: the launcher will not merge or start while one runs there, and ReSkate.dll
holds the folder's mutex.
- Advice on the ready screen for PCs short of RAM and page file; reports carry pc.ram_gb and
pc.commit_free_gb.
Stuck loads:
- A load in one stage for two minutes sends a stuck-load report (every thread's stack and the log,
error.type stall, load.stage, load.seconds) while the game goes on (crash protocol 6).
- A load the player closes sends its timing with the stage it was in.
Logs: the PanelTrace diagnostics and the neighborhood unlock override's observation lines are gone.
Players found the flat ground stutter goes away with Animation timing at 1, so
that is the default now: moving Gravity off 1 gives normal-gravity timing at
once, and the Advanced gravity fold is there to change it. Saved under a new
key (gravity_animation_timing), since 0.8.5 saved its default 0. The gravity
tooltips break into paragraphs.

Pull request 326 split into general plugin APIs and contrib/plugins/fit-check:
- reskate.capture (start, stop, discard, state, compare, kept, save): the screen
recorded before the overlay draws, cut out by the game's depth or by colour,
saved as GIF, APNG, PNG or WebM with an optional card; the "capture" permission.
- reskate.room.turn: a stand-in pad's stick held over to turn the menu's preview.
- reskate.menu.game and reskate.menu.grid: what the game's menu and its item grid show.
- reskate.outfit.worn, board and title: what the skater wears, by name.
- reskate.files.reveal: a data folder opened in Explorer.
The plugin finds where the turn comes round, eases the stick off, picks evenly
spaced frames and saves them with the board's parts or the outfit on the card.
Players still saw landings stutter on flat ground tricks with Gravity at
x1.31: the game fits a trick into the time to land but cannot hurry a catch
past its own speed, so in a shorter flight the catch is still playing when the
wheels touch. A fold under Gravity adds two levers:
- Animation timing (0 .. 1): the skater's air animations play faster by as much
as the flight is shorter than at the game's gravity (rate hook 0x10dd2f0), so
tricks and landings keep their x1 timing; 0 is the game's own, between part
of the way. Back to the game's rate on landing or when the countdown stops.
- Landing gravity of its own: the gravity the game plans landings with (the
landing searches), the same as Gravity unless set.
Options gravity_timing, gravity_landing_own, gravity_landing; presets carry
them; they let go with Gravity under a host's physics or with boosts off.

The Grind lock-on dial drove only the ground lock-on values; the reach from the
air (physicsgrindsair.maxdist*, physicstrajectory.scoregrind) stayed stock, so
at 0 the board was still pulled onto rails in flight (over a gap, over water).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The game finds where and when a flight lands by walking trajectories with the
gravity of the trajectory query manager (rva 0x7785da8 +0x30, 9.8). The air
state follows the record it chose, so with any other gravity the landing stayed
late on real jumps (a player at x1.25). 0.8.1 only re-planned the animation's
landing countdown, for flat ground. The manager's gravity is now the trainer's
while it holds one, and goes back to 9.8 when it lets go; the countdown patch,
which would now correct twice, is gone. Guarded by the code bytes of 0x473e312.

The game takes the first H.264 encoder Media Foundation lists, and that is the AMD one
even when the game renders on another vendor's GPU. It cannot take frames from that
device, so the export ended in 'Failed to save video'. Hardware encoders of a vendor
other than the render GPU's are now left out of the video encoder list.

- reskate.animation.mirror makes a clip for the other stance (Left and Right trade across the board's
length, each joint from its rest; the board mirrored as itself), and info gives a clip's stance. The
game's trick clips stand goofy: the studio mirrors one for a regular skater, which played half a
turn round in game.
- The studio no longer holds the skater with noclip: he left his board and the flight pose showed
through. His board is stopped once instead; while drawn in the room No Bail guards him, and the
game's own placement goes back into the pose before its physics.
- The whole board is held rigid while a clip moves it, deck mount included.
- The room closes when the game's menu leaves the Skaters page, and the studio closes with it.
- The studio's first camera angle is the PR's, taken once the room's joints are read.
- A log line every 2 s while a clip plays (Clip pose: updates, renders, scale, heights, the joints
that change most), kept while the room's pose is still checked in game.
- A clip marks the joints it only turns (Clip::turned_only, kept in the clip file): those keep the
skater's own position, as the game does; a game trick no longer changed his size.
- While a clip moves the board, its trucks and wheels are held as they were on the deck: the board
physics shook them.
- The character room's facing is taken once: the Skaters page turned its skater on a right drag, and
ours turned with it and sprang back.
- A plugin's cursor reads the middle button from Windows and raw input as well: it did not reach
ImGui in game.
- The studio waits until a bail is over (its state, or 4 s after the bail event): held still mid-bail,
the game took the hold away and the skater went on bailing behind the studio.
- The character room's walk back gives up after 8 s: with no skater ready (a respawn) it could not
step, and the studio stayed on its loading screen.
- reskate.animation.game_clips lists the game's animations and "game:<name>" plays one: the
skater's Eclipse clips decoded from its data (Extension/AnimationStudio/game_clips, ported from
ReSkate Studio's animation export), matching make_trick_library.py's clips.
- reskate.animation.play's floor stands a clip on the floor where the skater is, its board's lowest
point on it, as the pull request's studio did; the game's trick clips no longer sink.
- Animator Studio lists the game's tricks from its data; the Python tools are gone.
reskate.session.touch, touching, hide, hidden and raycast, and the touch and touch_end events.
The session publishes every skater's body as capsules while a plugin reads them; a hidden
player goes through the same path a throwdown's hidden players do.
- reskate.room.open, leave and state, with the room permission: ReSkate walks the game's menu to the Skaters page (its navigation events and RB on an internal scripted pad, as PR 297 and PR 230 did), draws the local skater on the room's floor and hides the room's own skater and board; other players are not sent the room. Extension/World/character_room, the room placement and hiding in skater_animation, and post_native_ui_event made general.
- reskate.input.text: what is typed while the plugin's screen is open; while it types, Esc is the plugin's.
- Animator Studio opens in its room (the Studio room setting, as the PR's), under its loading screen, or where the skater is when the walk fails; its card's name, trick and numbers are typed into in place.
- The studio plugin draws PR 297's screen itself: skate.'s Trick List menu and card, the joint timeline with key rows, dragging joints on the skater, keyboard and pad controls with their prompts, the unsaved-changes card, the recording strip and the loading screen. It lists a trick library made with tools/make_trick_library.py (the PR's, here beside it), and checks itself with studio test.
- Drawing: d:rough_rect, d:halftone, d:scribble, d:clip, d:measure, a text wrap width, the title_large font, text up to 400, and the loading screen's kickflipping board as d:game_image("loading_board") with a frame.
- reskate.ui.screen with panel = false: input taken, nothing drawn, the plugin draws it.
- reskate.skater.joint gives each joint's parent; reskate.skater.pose takes an offset.
- reskate.animation: play's at and paused, seek, pause and time; info, sample, joints, trim, edit (keys baked onto a clip) and save; clips named "data:<path>" from the plugin's data folder, "clip:<n>" and "edit:<name>".
- reskate.ui.screen's dock and width: a panel down one side, the game showing beside it.
- reskate.input.cursor: the mouse over the game while the plugin's screen is open.
- contrib/plugins/animator-studio: the Animator Studio of PR 297 (22sh, Fourth Studio, Norms) as a plugin: record a trick, key joints on a timeline, save it, and the trick plays it in game.
- reskate.skater.joint and reskate.session.joint: where any joint of your skater or another player's is.
- reskate.physics.tuning, find and tune: the trainer's tuning values, a plugin's set over the player's own and never saved.
- reskate.skater.set_velocity: the board's velocity set or added to at the next on-board physics step, in the air too.
- reskate.settings.set and the settings.write permission: a game setting held while the plugin keeps it, then put back; gameplay settings stay locked in multiplayer.
- reskate.skater.pose: joints turned and scaled on top of the animation, in the pose drawn and sent.
- The mesh tests build anim_core, which the session's joint publishing now uses.
- reskate.input.hide hides the right stick and the stick clicks, and reskate.input.mouse reads the mouse's movement and wheel.
- reskate.skater.cruise: cruise control up to a speed, optionally easing down to it.
- reskate.skater.reach and hand: an arm reaching for a point (two-bone IK, Extension/Skater/arm_reach), in the pose drawn and sent, and where a hand joint is.
- reskate.entities.set's attach: an object kept on a joint of your skater or another player's, moved every frame.
- reskate.screen.look and slap: the Filmer branch's VX1000 post-process as a fixed-parameter camcorder look drawn by the overlay.
A plugin names folders in its manifest's "content" (at most 8, with mods.read), and reads them in
every enabled mod: reskate.mods.content(folder) lists each mod's files there (mod, title, path,
size; 1000 at most, four folders down), reskate.mods.read_content(mod, folder, path) reads one (1 MB
at most, never outside that folder). A folder the manifest does not name is refused. Other mods can
then ship data for a plugin with no code: parks for a game mode such as Domination (pull request
279), routes, presets. Checked in the plugin tests, with the manifest's new errors.
Two general trick APIs on the hooks TheRealEJR found for his Rock to Fakie mod (pull request 285):
- tricks.label(from, to) ("hud"): the trick ticker shows `to` where the game's label is exactly
`from`, on the ticker's own call route and in its own buffer only, when it has room; 16 labels a
plugin, given back when it stops.
- tricks.record_as(from, to, within_ms) ("skater.control"): the next trick the recorder gets whose
id is one of `from`, within the window, is recorded as `to`, through a changed copy of the packet.
One ask a plugin, used once; refused while a throwdown runs, as trick replacements are.
The hooks pass everything on unchanged while no plugin asks.
contrib/plugins/rock-to-fakie is his feature in Lua: while the physics state holds a stall (400 or
401) the ticker shows Rock to Fakie for a Board Stall or a Lip Stall, and B pressed in it asks that
the stall be recorded as the game's fakie_rock (187). Off until `rocktofakie on`. Checked in the
plugin tests, with the new functions' permissions.
Plugins' files from before Mods/.reskate_plugin_data were still in Mods/.reskate/data, and the
launcher's merge deletes Mods/.reskate before the game ever looks for a plugin's folder: a saved
Deathrace route went at the next launch that rebuilt the merge. mods::keep_plugin_data moves each
plugin's old folder to Mods/.reskate_plugin_data first (whole, or the files a folder there lacks,
its own kept), at the start of every merge; the game still runs it once for a merge that kept its
patch. Checked in the build stamp test.
Made from GoalTrains' pull request 254 without its C++: a page in the PLUGINS section with the
Session-style and XL-style presets, the five custom slots the companion's own menu shares, stance,
stick layout, steering angle, stock ramp controls, the startup choice and every other setting, with
the companion's keys and fallbacks. It edits session_controls.ini in the plugin's own data folder
(reskate.files), keeping every line it does not change, and never creates the file; the README says
what the companion needs to change to read it there. `dualstick` in the console, and its own checks
(`dualstick test`) in the plugin tests.
ReSkate.dll exports ReSkateOverlayOwnsInputV1, from the same pull request: 1 while ReSkate's menu, a
free camera on the pad or a prompt has the input, for any native tool that runs beside the game.
reskate.files kept each plugin's folder in Mods/.reskate/data/<plugin>/, inside the merge's own
output, which every full merge deletes: saved Deathrace routes went whenever a mod changed. It is
Mods/.reskate_plugin_data/<plugin>/ now (mod_list.h plugin_data_folder), and what is still in the
old folder moves across the first time the plugin looks for its folder. Deathrace's routes keep
SmokeyDawg58's <map>/<name>.json layout, so routes from his fork copy straight into routes/.
- match.teleports lets through only the publishing plugin's own teleports, and only while its
match runs (its HUD is active, or the native flag is one of its modes); it was merged across
every plugin and checked no match.
- A mode's timer of 0 or past an hour no longer makes its card do nothing: the native flag takes
it as 1 to 3600 s. flag.begin's seconds are checked as 1 to 3600, as the flag takes them.
- skater.push and hold(true) return false with a reason without the stock physics, where they
were dropped unseen.
- telemetry's slam and struck are news since each plugin's own last read; reading them cleared
them for every plugin.
- A banner or callout of a new match shows whatever serial it starts from, and a document without
the slot no longer resets its serial.
- SmokeyDawg58's placement no longer divides input.wheel's whole notches by WHEEL_DELTA again.
The new services and throwdown kit API files use add_functions and the shared
helpers; add_functions opens a read-only parent for reskate.throwdowns.flag.
throwdowns.release_flag stays removed, as plugins has it.
