Parks

A park mod is a layout of Build Kit objects (ramps, rails, pads) for one of the game’s maps. It needs no ReSkate Studio and no build stamp: it is a JSON file per map, in the mod’s parks folder.

Making one in the Park Editor

The Park Editor saves your layout as a park mod.

Build the park.
Press + NEW PARK MOD, fill in Name, Author, Version and Description, and press CREATE AND SAVE LAYOUT.
Later, SAVE LAYOUT HERE (or Ctrl+S) saves your changes into it, and SAVE DETAILS its name and description.

The details go into the mod’s manifest.json. The name is required, at most 64 characters; the author at most 64, the version 32 and the description 512. The mod’s folder is named after it. A park saved before park mods existed can be turned into one with Convert; the old file stays where it was.

Loading a park

The PARK MODS tab of the build tabs lists every enabled park mod with a park for the map you are on. LOAD puts it in place of your layout, and Undo brings your layout back. Edit opens it in the Park Editor. In multiplayer, only the host can load park mods.

The file

parks/<map>.park.json holds one map’s park. <map> is the map’s key: bam (San Vansterdam), grom (Isle of Grom), mpr (Super Ultra Mega Resort), stadium_1, stadium_2 or ftue. A mod has at most one park per map, and 16 maps.

{
    "format": "reskate-park",
    "schema_version": 1,
    "revision": 0,
    "maps": {
        "bam": [
            {"id": 86, "item": "own_bkpads_generic_padlow_00001",
             "position": [-583.0, 1948.35, 1651.0], "rotation": [0.0, 0.3827, 0.0, 0.9239]}
        ]
    },
    "object_scales": {"bam": {"86": 1.5}}
}

Field	Rule
`format`	`"reskate-park"`.
`schema_version`	`1`.
`revision`	A whole number, 0 or more.
`maps`	Exactly one map, named by the same key as the file.
`maps.<map>[]`	At most 1024 objects. Each has exactly `id`, `item`, `position` and `rotation`.
`id`	A number other than 0, not used twice.
`item`	A Build Kit object’s key: starts with `own_bk`, at most 255 bytes.
`position`	Three numbers, each between -100000 and 100000.
`rotation`	A quaternion `[x, y, z, w]`, of length 1 (0.98 to 1.02).
`object_scales`	Optional. An object’s size by its `id`, 0.01 to 100, only for sizes other than 1.

The file can be 2 MB. A file that breaks a rule is refused with what is wrong, such as Expected a ReSkate park containing exactly one base map. or Invalid or duplicate placed object.

Parks on dedicated servers

A dedicated server spawns park mods for everyone, for a time, from the mods in its own Mods folder. Its settings name each park:

"maps": {
    "park_mods": [
        {"name": "street", "folder": "Popular Street Park", "map": "San Vansterdam", "key": "bam"}
    ],
    "park_limits": {"parks": 3, "objects": 512}
}

name: what admins and votes call it, 1 to 16 lowercase letters, digits, - and _.
folder: the mod’s folder in the server’s Mods.
map: the map it is for.
key: which of the mod’s parks, or empty when it has just one.
park_limits: how many parks can be out at once (1 to 16) and how many objects they hold together (1 to 1024).

Admins spawn and remove them with park-mod add <name> [minutes] and park-mod remove <name>. The server’s parks are its own: they count toward nobody’s object limit, and go when the map changes. Objects players’ games cannot show are skipped. See the server’s README for every command, and server plugins for spawning parks from a plugin. Plugins read any mod’s parks folder with reskate.mods.content.
