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.
- 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.
Hall of Meat (contrib/plugins/hall-of-meat) and grind exit triggers
(contrib/plugins/grind-exits) are Lua plugins: the bail model, its Meat card,
each map's best, the trigger rules, settings, console commands and menu panels
are theirs, with their own checks that dingosdk_plugin_tests runs.
What has to run in the game stays in core as plugin services:
- every physics step of the skater (skater_physics, the physics_step event,
permission events.physics);
- the skater's x-ray (xray, xray_render, xray_skeleton; reskate.skater.xray and
the draw handler's d:skeleton);
- skate.'s bottom left HUD corner (hud_corner; reskate.hud.corner);
- the game's slow motion, never in a session (game_speed; reskate.time.slow and
speed, permission game.speed);
- the side of the next pop out of a grind and pad controls kept from the game
(grind_exit; reskate.skater.grind_exit, the grind_exit event, reskate.input.hide);
- skate.'s own pictures by name (game_images; d:game_image), d:gradient and a
font for drawn text.
Removed: Extension/HallOfMeat, grind_exit_control and its commands, the HALL OF
MEAT and GRIND EXITS add-on pages, home tile, hub and native menu rows, their
menu models, and the hallofmeat and grindexit built-in commands.
