Follow-ups to the trainer (PR 37), and one multiplayer change.
Off until asked for (Extension/Trainer)
- The jump read-out and the LB+RB controller shortcuts start off. Jumps
are logged only while the read-out or telemetry recording is on, and
trick launches only when the trainer scaled them. A saved trainer.json
keeps what the player chose.
Memory search on demand (trainer.cpp, trainer_classes.cpp)
- The search for the game's tuning classes reads all writable memory.
It ran for every player after a level loaded, and up to seven times
when it found nothing. It now runs only when a class value or the flip
speed is not the game's own (the player's, or a host's they skate
with) or the EVERYTHING list is open, and at most three times a level.
- For those players it runs again on each level, which brings fresh
copies; a search from an earlier level used to count as done.
Guests under enforced physics
- A guest is locked by the session's enforce setting, from the moment
of joining (Engine/Game/Multiplayer/session_physics.h), not by whether
the enforcement status text was set yet.
- A guest's class values no longer come back after a map change.
The host's whole setup reaches its guests (protocol 39)
- Only Gameplay/SkatePhysicsTuning travelled, so a host could push,
sprint or jump further than the guests it held to the game's own.
- New packet physics_extras (30): the host's class values, trick
multipliers and auto push (trainer_session.h), sent when they change
and to players who join later, taken from the host only. A dedicated
server's are the game's own and it ignores the packet.
- Under enforcement a guest's own trick multipliers stand down for the
host's, whatever the boosts switch says. With enforcement off nothing
changes.
- A guest refuses bytes that are not an encoding, holds values to the
trainer's own ranges, and leaves out class values written for another
game build's table.
- protocol_version 38 -> 39: released versions disconnect from a peer
that sends a packet they cannot decode.
Out-of-view players are posed every frame again (Session/session.cpp)
- Players outside the camera's view and past 8 m were sampled at 20 Hz
(b763631). The game's replays record each skater as it stood every
frame and their camera looks anywhere, so those players moved at
20 Hz in replays. Removed; the distance rule (20 Hz past 200 m, 10 Hz
past 350 m) stays. This gives back the client-tick time it saved on
busy servers.
ReSkate dedicated server
========================
A headless ReSkate lobby that runs on its own, without the game. Players find it
in the in-game server browser (Multiplayer > Servers), or join with its code.
Start it
--------
Run ReSkateServer.exe. The first run writes ReSkateServer.json next to it; edit
that file (at least "name" and "admins") and start the server again. Leave this
folder together: steam_api64.dll, steamclient64.dll, tier0_s64.dll and
vstdlib_s64.dll are how the server talks to Steam, and world-layers.json lets it
set world layers (time of day and so on) for everyone.
Custom maps
-----------
Copy a custom map's mod folder from the game's Mods folder into a Mods folder
next to the server (only its reskate-levels.json is read). The map can then be
chosen by name. Players need the same map mod installed to join.
Players connect through Steam's relay network, so no ports need opening. If you
do forward UDP 27015-27016 (port, query_port), the browser also shows the
server's ping and players can join a little faster.
The server signs in to Steam anonymously and gets a new Steam ID, and so a new
join code, every time it starts. The browser always finds it by name.
Players and the server need the same ReSkate version.
Updates
-------
The server keeps itself on the latest ReSkate release. It checks when it starts
and every half hour after that. A new version found while players are on is
installed as soon as the server is empty: it restarts on its own, keeping
ReSkateServer.json, Mods and its logs. Type "update" to check and install
straight away (players are told to rejoin). Turn this off with
"auto_update": false, or start the server with --no-update.
ReSkateServer.json
------------------
name Shown in the browser (1-64 characters).
map The map everyone skates, named like the game's load command:
"San Vansterdam", "Isle of Grom", "Super Ultra Mega Resort",
"Stadium 1", or a custom map such as "bbcity" (see Custom maps).
max_players 1-249.
password Empty for anyone; otherwise players type it to join.
welcome A chat line sent to each player as they join.
listed false hides the server; players then need the code.
auto_update Install new ReSkate releases when nobody is on (default true).
votes Player votes, each off until turned on:
"map": {"enabled": true, "percent": 60} /vote map <map>
"kick": {"enabled": true, "percent": 60} /vote kick <player>
"time_of_day": {"enabled": true, "percent": 50} /vote tod <time>
(needs world_layer_sync)
"percent" is the share of connected players whose yes passes
it. "seconds" (default 30) is how long a vote runs and
"cooldown_seconds" (default 60) how long a player waits before
starting another. Players vote with /yes and /no in chat;
admins cannot be vote-kicked.
announce_throwdowns Tell everyone in chat when a throwdown drop is placed
(default true).
parties Let players form parties (default true): invite each other
from the game's Social menu, a player card, the ReSkate
Multiplayer menu or chat (/party invite <player>). Party
members join each other's coop challenges, see each other on
the map and talk with /p <message>.
party_size Most players in one party, 2-8 (default 8).
speed_check Catch players whose game runs faster than normal (Cheat
Engine's speedhack and the like), measured from the timing
of what their game sends: "warn" (default) takes them out of
throwdowns and coop challenges until their speed is normal
again and tells the admins, "kick" removes them from the
server, "off" does not check.
score_check Catch players whose mods change how many points tricks
score (per-trick points, the scoring multipliers, the
throwdown scoring logic) or how the skater handles (core
physics, wipeouts, trick gestures). Each player's ReSkate checks its
mods at launch and reports the result when joining:
"warn" (default) takes them out of throwdowns and coop
challenges (the server stops passing their throwdown
messages on) and everyone is told in chat, "kick" removes
them, "off" does not check. A player has to restart Skate
without the mod to take part again.
score_allow Scoring fingerprints accepted like the game's own, for a
server that runs on a scoring mod everyone installs
(16 hex digits each; score-check lists each player's).
activity_log Log what players do (default true): throwdown drops placed,
joins, starts, turns and results; objects placed or removed;
how long players take to load.
port, query_port Steam game server ports (default 27015, 27016).
tps Network updates per second: 20, 30, 60 or 120.
voice_chat Allow voice chat.
voice_range How far proximity voice reaches, 50-1000 m.
distances When far-away players update less often (metres).
object_placement everyone, admins (only admins can build), or nobody.
noclip, no_bail, Let players use noclip (and tp) / No Bail / the forward and up
boosts boosts (default true; admins always can).
enforce_tuning Players skate with the game's own Gameplay/SkatePhysicsTuning,
not copies they edited (default true). Edited tuning (truck
positions and the rest) otherwise shows on their skater for
everyone.
parks Layout for each park lot, e.g. "skatepark_01", or "empty".
world_layer_sync Force the "layers" below on every player.
layers World layer key -> "on" / "off".
admins SteamID64s (as strings) who may change settings in-game.
bans Players who can never join. Managed with ban / unban.
Every change made from the console or by an admin is saved back to this file.
Console and admin commands
--------------------------
Type these in the server window. Admins run the same commands in the game with
the console command "mp server <command>". Their replies arrive in chat.
Admins can also type any of them in chat with a / in front (/kick, /map, /votes).
Admins can also change the server's map by picking a level in Levels or Travel,
and change voice, distances, placement and kicks from the Multiplayer menu.
status Name, map, players, code.
players Connected players and their SteamID64s.
say <text> Chat as the server (console only).
kick <player> Until the server restarts. Name start or SteamID64.
