The three features are Lua plugins in contrib/plugins (fpv-drone, board-break,
road-rash), built on what this adds to the plugin API: flight input, gamepad and
joystick reads with input capture, a rolled camera, a package's own sounds and a
synthesised motor (plugin_sound, plugin_wave, motor_synth), the skater's physics
events (skater_events), items worn over the outfit (outfit_overlay, skater_items),
the board's bones (board_pose), skater animation (anim_core), plugin images,
throwdowns started for chosen players, and server copies of plugins on a lobby
host and the dedicated server (server_plugins).
Removed from core: Extension/RoadRash, Extension/BoardBreak, the drone's flight,
radio, follow, OSD, beacon, outfit and sound code, its prop models (native_prop),
the DRONE, BOARD BREAK and ROAD RASH menu pages, home tiles and native menu rows,
their console commands, the drone follow debug action, the drone marker packet
(kind 36 stays unused; the roster keeps its byte) and the server's drones setting.
Kept in core, since every board needs it whichever plugins run: the breakable
deck packs (breakable_deck: which deck, its label and wheel spacing, the
boarddeck command and the BREAKABLE DECK card on the Mods page), and board_pose
keeping a deck pack's stretches out of sight, the baseplates on the deck and the
wheels at the deck's spacing on every board.
- Skater: skater.state() and the skater_state and bail events (events.skater); noclip and boosts
through the console's own queue, under the host's rules (skater.control); a save point of the
plugin's own (trainer); the game's HUD hidden while any plugin asks (hud).
- World: park editor objects listed, placed, moved and removed through the editor's own edits and
the session's object rules (world.objects); time of day, world controls and park rotation as
the World menu sets them, refused where the host chooses (world.environment); fast travel and
levels, refused for guests (travel); AI skaters, outside sessions only (world.ai).
- Session: other players' skaters as last heard (session.skaters, a feed the session publishes
each frame, plugin_session_feed.h); a plugin's tag above a player's nametag (session.nametags);
voice volume (voice.control); chat lines as events (chat.read) and sending one, one every 3 s
(chat.send); throwdown state and events (throwdowns).
- Music from outside players (music), progress (progression.read) and game settings
(settings.read), read only; named actions on keys or pad combos, pressed while the game has the
input (input); full-screen screens with the input, closed by Esc (ui.screen).
- Libraries and events between plugins: expose, require_plugin, emit, on_plugin; plain data is
copied across VMs and a plugin in a call cannot be called back into.
- net.http: HTTPS to the hosts reskate-plugin.json's new "domains" lists; no redirects, cookies
or Windows sign-in; private and local addresses refused; 10 a minute, 4 waiting, 1 MB back.
- Left for engine work (listed in the design doc): respawn and freeze, manuals, the camera, trick
animations, replays, starting throwdowns, the game's own soundtrack, overlay images, rebinding
plugin keys in the Binds page, local-only chat lines.
- reskate-test has a wider module (ptest noclip, boost, hidehud, object, night, day, ai, screen,
bind, music, chat, web by hand); reskate-hostile has chat-spam, edit-spam, travel-spam,
web-elsewhere, bind-spam and screen-loop.
All host tests pass; not yet tried in game.
