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.
- 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.
