hold_score's own publish of the "down" value goes through the UI model write hook too, and the field
was already taken, so the hook kept our value as what the game meant. Given back, the corner then
restored "down". HudWidgetActive is written again often enough that the ring and trick list came
back, but ExtraInfoStyle rarely is, so the LINE label stayed hidden for the session (Hall of Meat's
card, or any plugin hiding the corner). The hook now leaves what the game meant alone while
hold_score publishes. Not checked in the game.

Plugins register modes (card, replaces, order, flag, players) and publish documents through
reskate.throwdowns.ui: the setup page, the waiting card, HUD slots themed on the game's HUD_<theme>_*
widgets, the match panel, flags and match restrictions. SmokeyDawg58's native plumbing
(throwdown_menu.cpp and its .inl files) renders them and posts throwdown_ui events back. kit::flag
is the one native flag registration. General services added for it: reskate.files, reskate.ui.dialog,
reskate.skater push/hold/bone_cam, reskate.camera.pad_flight, reskate.physics competition,
reskate.session.world, reskate.tricks feed/gesture, and world entities.
His ten modes are now Lua in his plugin: the rules, referee and wire (td/rules, referee, wire), and
every page and HUD document (td/ui*.lua). Extension/Modes and reskate.modes are gone, along with
every race and 1-UP branch in the SDK. The plugin test drives each mode through kit events.
A native setup page is never written to while it closes into flag placement: its rows are not
republished, the stock page is put back once the exit is over, and the stock Players slider is left
alone while a plugin flag is out. This fixes the crashes on the Deathrace button and on 1-UP's
Confirm.
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.
