ReSkate 20261115
A new look for the launcher and a roomier Mod Manager
Launcher
- A new home screen. PLAY and MOD MANAGER sit down the right side, under your name and the settings cog. PLAY says what it will start: the map and how many mods.
- One tile tells you where things stand. It shows what the newest release changed. While ReSkate is busy (checking, updating, downloading the game, getting mods ready) it shows what it is doing and how far along it is. If something needs you or went wrong, it says what and what to do, with a way to open the logs or copy the details.
- Announcements are a single line. Click it to read the whole thing. An important one opens by itself once.
- Changelogs list every recent release. Pick a release on the left to read its notes; the one you have installed is marked. Handy if you skipped a few updates.
- Settings are easier to scan. The launcher's settings and Skate's each have their own tile, with their pages as tabs. Every setting is a row with a line explaining it, and the search finds settings on any page.
- Pick your start map from the home screen. It is still in Settings > GAME as well.
- Sign-in is clearer. The QR code comes first with the steps beside it, then signing in with your account name and password. The agreement shows each document with the date it last changed.
Mod Manager
- Pages along the top. MY MODS, GET MODS and PROFILES are tabs across the top, leaving the whole width for the list.
- Click a mod to see it beside the list. A panel shows what it is, its size, its items and what you can do with it. Double-click a mod for its README.
- Choosing items has its own page. Larger pictures, the kinds of item as tabs, and buttons to tick or untick everything shown. Items carry the names their maker gave them.
- See how much video memory a mod can take. Each row shows a figure worked out from the mod's own files. Cosmetic items only load while a skater wears them, so they are listed in the tooltip and not counted in the figure.
- Filter with one click. Chips above the list show All, Maps, Game data, Plugins, On, Off, Updates, Problems and Conflicts, each with a count. The category menu has a search and can hide categories you never want to see.
- Adding mods is in one place. Install .zip, Install folder and Open Mods folder are under ADD MOD.
- Readable names. Mods show spaces where Thunderstore has underscores, and the search matches them that way.
- Removing mods no longer freezes the launcher. It runs in the background with a progress bar, PLAY waits for it, and removing many at once is about a third faster.
- Loading a profile asks first, and lets you choose what happens to your other mods.
- Deck graphics are listed under Decks. They were filed with trousers under Bottoms.
- Fixed the mod panel shaking between two widths when its scrollbar appeared.
Mods
- Disabled mods are left out completely at launch. Nothing of a mod that is switched off is loaded.
Plugins
- One card for all new plugins. When several plugins are waiting for your answer, they are asked about one after another on a single card, each with the full list of what it may do. You can go back and change an answer.
- A plugin a server gave you only runs on that kind of server. A plugin you got because a dedicated server required it stays off everywhere else. The Plugin Manager shows which plugins those are and lets you make one your own.
Controllers
- DualSense: the skater no longer returns to the session marker while a menu is open. With some DualSense controllers (reported on the DualSense Edge), opening the ReSkate menu or the chat box kept sending the skater back to the marker and sometimes crashed the game.
