About this mod Author’s original text
Feet Only
Feet Only for skate. (ReSkate): a costume that hides the skater except the
shoes and socks, so you ride as a pair of shoes on a board, fingerboard style.
Unequip the costume and your skater comes back.
How to use
- Install the mod with the ReSkate launcher, or copy the mynewmod folder into
Skate\Mods\.
- Make sure FeetOnly is enabled in the launcher's mod manager (or in the
MODS tab of the in-game ReSkate menu), then start the game.
- Open Apparel -> Costumes and equip Feet Only Costume. Whatever shoes
and socks you have equipped stay visible; everything else disappears.
How it works
The costume is a copy of the game's Ghost Skater costume with its ghost effect
and foley removed, carrying its own hiding rule: head and body meshes hidden,
every clothing slot hidden except shoes and socks. The ghost's mesh is kept (a costume
without a mesh makes the game's appearance build fail and crash later) but
never drawn: the mod edits that stock mesh's geometry so every section draws
zero triangles. The stock Ghost Skater costume shares that mesh, so while this
mod is enabled it is invisible too, and the mod removes its blue ghost trails
as well so they do not float around an empty body.
Compatibility
- Built for Skate build 25414733 (the build ReSkate supports).
- Adds one costume and its slot-hiding rule, edits the Ghost Skater mesh
geometry's draw counts and removes the stock Ghost Skater costume's effects.
Adds no code. ReSkate merges the item list it edits with other cosmetic mods.
Known limitations
- The wardrobe tile reuses an existing shoe's thumbnail.
- The stock Ghost Skater costume is invisible and effect-free while this mod is
enabled.
- Shoe meshes are open on the inside, so looking into a shoe from above shows
the floor.
- Multiplayer has not been tested.
Building from source
The mod is generated from the game's own data by tools/build_feetonly.py in
the mod's source repository (the tools are not part of the release zip):
python tools/build_feetonly.py --game "" --out.
python tools/make_release.py --mod. --out../FeetOnly-release
The tools folder is a Python port of ReSkate's Frostbite format code and is
licensed under the GPL-3.0 (see tools/LICENSE in the repository).
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
