- 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.
- overlay: reskate.on("draw", function(d) ...) each tick, with text, rect, line, circle, poly
and world_text, world_line, world_circle (projected through the camera as the frame draws),
size and world_to_screen; 4000 shapes a frame. reskate.ui.toast through ReSkate's notices, three
in 5 s. Images are left for later: they need texture slots in the overlay's renderer.
- menu: reskate.menu.panel(title, build) on a new PLUGINS tab of the ADDONS page, with heading,
label, separator, button, toggle, slider and dropdown, built ten times a second while it shows.
- audio.ui: the game's menu sounds by name, ten a second. mods.read: installed(name) and list(),
from the discovery thread's scan.
- session.read: active, is_dedicated, players, me, host, and player_joined / player_left.
net.session: send(to, message) to the same plugin on other games (by its manifest.json name) in
the session's throwdown packets, tagged 0xD1 (plugin_wire.h); 4 KB each, 16 KB a second.
- The overlay and the host share plugin_ui.h (shapes, panels, actions) and plugin_camera.h.
- Fixed: the overlay asked ImGui for the window's size before its context existed, which crashed
on the first frames; it now reads the size from the context.
- reskate-test has overlay (ptest hud), menu, audio, mods and session (ptest ping) modules;
reskate-hostile has draw-flood, toast-spam, sound-spam, message-flood and panel-loop.
Checked in game: ptest all 62 passed, 0 failed; the test HUD, the PLUGINS tab and its panel; every
hostile attack stopped or refused, trick-loop and panel-loop included. Not yet: ptest ping with a
second player.
- With events.tricks a plugin hears the local skater's tricks: trick_started (where), trick_landed
(points, multiplier, where it started and landed, how long it took) and line_broken (a slam or
a wipeout); reskate.score.current() is the score HUD's line, multiplier and whether a trick is
going on. Without the permission the events cannot be registered.
- The score HUD is read into the trick watch (Extension/Skater/score_hud.h, trick_watch.h) on the
client tick only while a running plugin has events.tricks; a new level starts a new line.
plugins::start takes the image base for it.
- reskate-test has a tricks module (skipped until a trick lands) and ptest trick, which waits 30 s
for one and prints what its events said; reskate-hostile has trick-loop.
Not yet checked against real tricks in game.
- skater.read: reskate.skater.get() (position, heading, speed, vertical speed, airborne, air
time) and position, heading, speed and on_ground on their own; nil without a skater. From the
trainer's telemetry. The heading is radians, -pi to pi: 0 faces +Z, pi/2 faces +X, and a higher
heading is turned to the skater's left (checked in game).
- skater.teleport: reskate.skater.teleport(at, heading?) through teleport_local_skater_heading;
false and why when the host has turned teleporting off (as the console's tp), there is no
skater, or it is asked more than twice a second. Positions must be finite and within 100 km.
- world.raycast: reskate.world.raycast(from, to) is where the line first meets the world's
collision (local_surface_hit), or nil; 64 a tick, 1000 m at most.
- The host passes the game to plugins through Environment, so the tests fake a skater and flat
ground. reskate-test has a skater module (skipped without a skater; the harness counts skips)
and ptest tp; reskate-hostile has teleport-spam and raycast-flood.
Checked in game: teleporting, the two-a-second cap and the raycast cap. ptest skater's heading
check failed there (0 to 2 pi from the trainer) and is fixed, not yet rerun in game.
A mod with a reskate-plugin.json is a plugin: Luau scripts that run in their own VM, with only
the reskate API ReSkate registers for them. Luau 0.741 is vendored in External/luau (the VM and
compiler only: no native code generation, no loadstring, io or C modules).
- Limits: 64 MB of memory, 50 ms a call, 2 ms a tick on average (over it for 3 s stops it),
more than 5 errors in 10 s stops it, 50 log lines a second. A plugin over a limit cannot catch
it in a pcall and carry on.
- API: reskate.log, on (load, unload, tick, level_loaded, level_unloading), timers, the level,
its own package's files and JSON, require inside the package; console.command and print
("console"); storage get, set, add and keys ("storage"), 1 MB in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ReSkate\Plugins\<mod>\storage.json.
- Found every 2 s among the mods mods.json leaves on: switching a mod, or changing a plugin's
files, loads, unloads or reloads it without a restart. A package holding a program is refused.
- plugin list, commands, reload, off and on in the console. A plugin cannot take a name of
ReSkate's own commands.
- Tests: DINGOSDK_BUILD_PLUGIN_TESTS, including plugins written to break the sandbox.
