About this mod Author’s original text
THP8 City 1.0.0
The city from Tony Hawk's Project 8 as a skate map for Skate with ReSkate. All twelve areas are in one open map: Downtown and the Capitol, the Suburbs, the School and its grounds, the Slums, the Factory, the Shops, City Park, the Concrete Park, the Parking Garage, the Fun Park and Toon Wood.
What's in it
- The original textures at full size, with their bump maps, see-through edges and water.
- Props, trees and machinery placed where Project 8 puts them.
- Eleven fast-travel points on the pause map, at Project 8's own restart spots.
- Weeds, grass tufts and flowers you can ride through. Hedges and trees stay solid.
- Smoothed feet on wooden kickers and plywood ramps, so the board rolls up instead of catching a plank edge.
- Project 8's "own the spot" rings and OWNED tags are removed.
Notes
- skate. lights the map with its own sun. Project 8's baked lighting and vertex shading don't carry over, so some areas look brighter and flatter than the original.
- Water is a flat colour with ripples. Project 8's reflective water shader has no equivalent here.
- Air height depends on ReSkate's speed setting. Project 8's bowls are big, so a higher speed multiplier gets you closer to its heights.
- Invisible walls keep you inside the playable area.

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.
