Hall of Meat

skate. 3's Hall of Meat for skate.: when you bail, the bones you hurt show through your skater, yellow where a hit bruised one and red where one broke it, with the bail's Meat card in the bottom left corner. It ships no game data: the skeleton (the Dem Bones costume's mesh), the card's icons, the THRASHER wordmark and the brush strokes are read from the installed game.

What it does

• The skeleton. From the first hurt bone until you are back on your feet, then it fades out. A fall that hurts nothing shows nothing. A fresh hit flashes the bone it hit.
• The card. It takes the place of skate.'s own HUD in that corner (the d-pad and the score HUD come back after). Time, hits (head hits count double, hits from vehicles half again), broken bones, road rash, airtime, fall, top speed and rotations, each with its points, then the Meat. Small stats join the card once they are worth showing. Each map keeps its best Meat (NEW BEST / BEST 12,345).
• A break. The screen's edges pulse red and, in single player only, the game slows down for a moment. The slow motion never runs in a multiplayer session. It is the same at every break, but never faster than the trainer's game speed (PRACTICE), which it gives back after.

Off until you switch it on: skate.'s menu, Mod Options > Player > Hall of Meat, or the console (~) with hallofmeat 0|1. The choice and each map's best are saved with the profile.

With No Bail on, a wipeout No Bail stops is not a bail, so nothing shows.

How it works

Part	Files
Start, client tick, the switch and each map's best	hall_of_meat.h, hall_of_meat.cpp
Each physics step of the local skater, handed on by No Bail's skeleton response hook (Extension/Skater/no_bail.h) while the feature is on: what every ragdoll body hit and how hard, and whether it is a ragdoll	hall_of_meat_skater.*
The bail's phases (riding, bailing, down, getting up) and its Meat, on the game's clock; no game access	hall_of_meat_model.*
The card's rows	hall_of_meat_card.*
skate.'s skeleton mesh, read from the game's data and posed with the renderer's skinning matrices	hall_of_meat_skeleton.*, hall_of_meat_render.*
Hiding skate.'s bottom left HUD while the card shows	hall_of_meat_hud.*
The slow motion: SimulationTime's rate, frame cap and time scale as a session override, only where slower than the speed it found and writing that back after, the local skater's step along with them	hall_of_meat_slow_motion.*
Drawing, on the overlay's background draw list	hall_of_meat_overlay.*
The hallofmeat console switch	hall_of_meat_commands.cpp

Every address, offset and fingerprint is in Engine/Game/Build/20260929/ (skater_body.h, skater_state.h, skater_render.h, skater_skeleton.h, hud_corner.h, ui_model.h, ui_textures.h), and each is checked before use. Without a matching game build the feature stays unavailable and the menu's switch is greyed out.

Switched off, it costs the game nothing while it plays: the renderer's two hooks and the UI model's write hook are prepared at startup but only switched on with the feature (and off again once the HUD corner and the game's speed are given back), and No Bail hands no physics step on. The skeleton mesh is read the first time it is switched on. Only the images are read at startup, in the background: the overlay builds its atlas once, when its graphics start.

A finished bail logs what it scored at --log-level=debug.

Tests

cmake --preset vs2022-x64 -DDINGOSDK_BUILD_HALL_OF_MEAT_TESTS=ON -DDINGOSDK_TEST_GAME_ROOT=<Skate folder>
cmake --build --preset release --parallel 4
ctest --test-dir build/vs2022-x64 -C Release -R hall_of_meat

hall_of_meat covers the bail's phases, the Meat and the card. hall_of_meat_skeleton reads and poses the skeleton mesh from a real Skate folder.

The skater's render hooks, its skeleton and its body maps were first found by gBGYo's ReSkate fork.
