IMPORTANT: LOAD YOUR MAP FIRST — 🔴 ReSkate 2.1.2 WARNING

ReSkate 2.1.2 has a bug in the Throwdowns menus. A fix has been prepared and is expected in the next ReSkate version.

Load Skate 3 Improved or San Vansterdam first, depending on the Domination park you want to play. Then open Throwdowns and select Domination.

Changing or reloading the map after opening Throwdowns can crash the game. If this happens, restart the game and load your intended map before opening that menu. Restart before switching maps after using Throwdowns.

You can change parks on the same loaded map in Domination without triggering this map-change bug.

Domination Multiplayer Skate3 & San Van

Currently supported only on Skate 3 Improved and San Vansterdam. Other maps are not supported yet.

START HERE: THROWDOWNS > DOMINATION (SKATE. 3)

Load the map you want to play first. With the mod enabled, open the game's pause menu, choose Throwdowns, then Domination (skate. 3). Choose a park and your round options, then press START. The in-game card still reads Domination (skate. 3). F10 and Back/View + Y are not entry shortcuts.

skate. 3's Domination for ReSkate. Own the most spots in a park when the clock runs out. The best single trick landed on a spot owns it, and a higher one steals it. Play it alone, against practice bots, or with everyone in your session. Make your own parks in the game and share them.

What you need

• The official ReSkate 2.1.2 or later (the first release with plugins). Older ReSkate does not run plugins.
• For the Skate 3 Improved parks (Red-bowl park and four more): the map mod 333-Skate_3_Improved, switched on. The six San Vansterdam parks use the base map.
• In multiplayer, everyone in the round needs this mod, at the same version. Use the same S3I map version too. The host must allow teleports for the starting lineup. Update every player to 0.10.4 so the layouts and overlap scoring match. Do not mix versions.

0.10.4 — Updated park layouts. Eleven parks use the latest browser-editor designs, including separate Bonski Park Lower and Bonsai Park Upper levels. Curved boundaries, terrain height ranges and starting directions are carried into the game. A trick in overlapping zones awards its full score to every containing enabled zone; height ranges keep stacked floors separate. Everyone in a multiplayer round needs this version. These updated layouts are awaiting local gameplay testing. The existing Throwdowns map-change limitation still applies.

Installing

This renamed package replaces Domination_Skate3. Disable the old package before enabling this one; Thunderstore treats the new name as a separate listing. Existing installations will not automatically update to this name. A new installed folder has separate settings and saved parks.

Install the supplied 0.10.4 ZIP through MY MODS > Install .zip in the ReSkate launcher. Enable only one Domination plugin; disable the older store or local copy before enabling this one.

To install by hand, choose Open Mods folder in the launcher and extract the ZIP into IVI3SI-Domination_Multiplayer_Skate3_and_San_Van/ there. That folder should contain manifest.json, reskate-plugin.json, plugin/ and domination/, with no extra folder between them. The active Mods folder may be Mods/ or ModData/Default/Mods/ under your game folder; the launcher's button opens the right one. This package contains no ReSkate DLL or launcher: use the official release.

The plugin uses the existing 15 permissions listed in reskate-plugin.json for rounds, trick events, teleports, displays, controls, map access, local saves and session networking. It requests no web access or other players' positions.

Playing

Open Domination from the game menu: choose Throwdowns > Domination (skate. 3). The card opens the Domination setup screen; there is no flag to place.

The Domination screen contains the map, park, round length, teams, practice bots (offline; in a session, PLAYERS says everyone with the mod plays), OUTLINES, SPOT LABELS, MINI-MAP and the round's RULES. Choose a park on the loaded map, then START. Although the screen contains travel controls, avoid changing or reloading maps after opening Throwdowns on official 2.1.2 (see Known limitations). Every player starts at one of the park's own starting points, in a random order; a 3-2-1, then the clock runs. The park is shown from above with its spots: SPOTS lets you turn spots off for your rounds, kept per park (on the picture, or in the list of the park's spots beside it; LB / RB and the mouse wheel go down the list; X (R) turns them all on again; one spot always stays on), and GO THERE AND SKATE takes you to the park without a round. The screen remembers the last park and its settings. In a session the round reaches everyone with the mod. The optional console command dom3 menu opens the same screen. Reopen Throwdowns > Domination (skate. 3) for Leave/Stop controls during a round.

From the console (~):

dom3 menu                  the same Domination screen as the Throwdowns card
dom3 parks                 every park, its map and its spots
dom3 set park <id>         the park for the next round (or: dom3 set map next)
dom3 set length 300        the round's length in seconds (60 to 600)
dom3 set teams on          red against blue (needs other players)
dom3 start                 a round: with everyone in a session, or alone offline
dom3 start solo 120        a round just for you, here
dom3 stop                  starter or host: stop the round for everyone
dom3 leave                 leave another player's round; ends yours if you started it
dom3 overlay off           hide your ground outlines, rings and direction arrows
dom3 overlay labels off    hide floating spot labels for the round (host controls this online)
dom3 overlay map off       hide your mini-map (on brings each display option back)

Display controls: OUTLINES and MINI-MAP affect only your screen. SPOT LABELS controls floating labels for everyone: the lobby host chooses it; on a dedicated server, the round's starter does. Guests see its current setting with “(HOST)” and cannot change it. Turning outlines or labels off keeps the right-side live spot owner/score list and standings.

During the round:

• Each spot uses its owner's assigned colour consistently on every player's screen; blue no longer always means you. Open spots are white, and team rounds use red and blue. Ground outlines/rings and floating labels follow their separate display settings.
• Arrows at the screen's edge point to the nearest spots that are not yours.
• A mini-map at the bottom right shows the park from above, north up: each spot in its owner's colour (open spots white) and you as a dot pointing the way you face. A spot that changes hands flashes on it; one of yours stolen flashes red. It moves out of the way of your skater. Other players are not on it.
• The round's clock is at the top centre; in the last 10 seconds it turns red.
• The standings and a live list of spots, owners and best scores stay on the right, even with outlines and floating labels off. Who took what shows at the top left, in big banners.
• The callout says TAKEN!, STOLEN! or NEW BEST, with the menu's sounds. Domination draws the countdown, spots card and callouts itself.
• Overlap scoring: in these updated parks, a landing inside zones awards the full trick score to every enabled zone containing that position and height. If the trick lands outside all zones, attribution can fall back to the zone occupied during the trick or shortly before takeoff, using the recorded position there. Slams and wipeouts claim nothing.

At the end: the most spots wins; a tie goes to the higher total of points on them. The results show over the park for 12 seconds while you skate on: the standings, time held and steals, the best trick, the most steals, the longest held spot, and who owns each spot. While one of the game's menus is open they wait, and show when it closes. Open Throwdowns > Domination (skate. 3) to leave or stop before the clock runs out. STOP THE ROUND ends it for everyone and is available to the starter or lobby host. LEAVE ROUND takes you out of another player's round, with YOU LEFT and the current results; the others continue. A host in another player's round can choose either action. These controls also apply while the round waits for players. Use Domination's own screen for Leave/Stop; it does not add a Throwdown Panel or Quit Match route to the game's pause menu.

Practice bots: offline, dom3 bots 3 adds three bots, dom3 start plays a round with them, and dom3 bots 0 sends them home. On the Domination screen, PRACTICE BOTS sets how many play with its Start (dom3 set bots 3 from the console).

Your counts: dom3 stats lists the rounds you have played to the end, with others and won, per map and per park.

Round options

Each is off unless you turn it on: today's rules stay the default, and each game starts with them. Set them on the Domination screen's RULES row (press it to open its five rows; while they are open, the park maker's rows wait), or in the console:

• SPOT SCORE: LINE TOTAL (dom3 set line on). Tricks landed one after another on the same spot, in one line, add up; the line's total claims the spot. A trick elsewhere, a slam or the line's end starts again.
• MINIMUM SCORE: 250 to 5,000 on the screen (dom3 set min 1000, dom3 set min off). A trick under it takes nothing.
• TIE ON SPOTS: SUDDEN DEATH (dom3 set tie sudden). If two or more share the most spots when the clock runs out, the round plays on; the first take that puts one ahead wins. After a minute still tied, the higher total wins.
• HOLD BONUS: 10, 25 or 50 a second on the screen (dom3 set hold 10). Each second you own a spot gives that many points; the highest score (points on your spots plus the bonus) wins. Sudden death is off with it.
• FINAL 30 SECONDS: DOUBLE POINTS (dom3 set finale on). Tricks in the last 30 seconds count double.

The screen explains what each option changes. The starter's round options apply to everyone; all players should use the same mod version. The server decides the result. A late trick can update the board but does not reopen or end overtime.

Make your own park

On Skate 3 Improved or San Vansterdam, stop at a box, rail, bank or bowl and tag it: the mod reads the ground round you and shows the spot on the ground. Keep it, tag the next. Your park saves itself and plays like any other. MAKE A PARK HERE on the Domination screen starts a new park on the loaded map, or from the console:

dom3 make start [name]        the park maker on, a new park on this map ("My park 1" without a name)
dom3 make edit <park id>      go on with a park of yours
dom3 make status              your park, its spots and starts
dom3 make rename <park|spot|card> [name]
                              a new name (without one, the text box asks)
dom3 make share <park id> [name]
                              a park pack of it, in packs/<name>/

While the park maker is on, the D-pad is its own (F5 to F8 on the keyboard). The prompts show the D-pad with the arm to press.

• Up (F5), Tag. Stand on a feature or next to it (within 6 m) and stand still. The spot glows amber on the ground and the NEW SPOT card opens. A (Enter) keeps it, B (Backspace) lets it go. X (Tab) shows the next guess: a line along you, a circle round you. Up and down (the arrows) make it bigger or smaller; left and right turn a line. A check that fails says why, and A waits until it passes. Tag on a spot you kept opens its card, and B removes it. Just after a teleport the ground takes a moment to load: the tag waits for it.
• On the card, Y (R): Name it. ReSkate's text box asks for the spot's name. On a kept spot's card it renames it. Ids never change, so players can still play together.
• Down (F6), Start here. A start where you stand, facing where you face. Not on a spot, and 2 m from the others.
• Left (F7), Undo. The last spot or start goes.
• Right (F8), Done. The park maker is off and your park is picked: dom3 start plays it, alone or with the practice bots. A park begun from the Domination screen brings the screen back, with it picked.

A park holds up to 64 spots and 64 starts. The browser editor used to author the bundled layouts is a separate development tool and is not included in this download. Parks on other maps remain unsupported for now.

In the pause menu, or with the console or the Domination screen up, the game has its buttons back. With a PlayStation pad, use F5 to F8: its D-pad reaches the game too.

On the Domination screen, a park of yours (PARK: ... (YOURS), or your own pack) has EDIT THIS PARK (on its map), RENAME THIS PARK and SHARE AS A PACK; the last two use ReSkate's text box.

Your parks are files in Mods/.reskate_plugin_data/<installed-mod-folder>/parks/; dom3 parks lists them "from your parks". Only your game has them, so in a session START refuses one: share it as a pack first. See Saved files below for the installed-folder names.

Share it. SHARE AS A PACK on the Domination screen, or dom3 make share, writes packs/<name>/ to the data folder and opens it.

• Copy that folder into the active Mods folder (Open Mods folder in the launcher), and give it to your friends. For Thunderstore, zip what is inside the folder, so that manifest.json is at the top of the zip. On official 2.1.2, players use Install .zip for these park packs too.
• A pack's name has letters, digits and _, and cannot be the name of a mod already in your Mods folder.
• The next share goes to the same pack, also after a rename. Its version goes up when the park changed: everyone in a round needs the same one.
• With your own pack installed, rounds play the pack's copy, the one your friends have. The park maker still edits your own file: share again and copy the pack over to play your changes.

Parks

Eleven parks with 169 spots use the latest saved designs. Names below match the park selector.

More parks come as park packs: mods with a domination/ folder of park files and no code. Switch a pack on and its parks are on the Domination screen and in dom3 parks. A pack's park replaces the built-in park of the same id. Disable older packs if they are hiding the updated layouts. To make parks and packs, see above and MAKING-PARKS.md.

Multiplayer

In a session, the round runs on the session's server (the lobby's host, or a dedicated server): your tricks go to it, and everyone sees the same board. A player who arrives during a round is in at once. A player who leaves keeps the spots they own.

Only the lobby's host changes maps. On official 2.1.2, have everyone reach the desired map before opening Throwdowns; restart before choosing another map after using that page. The round can wait until everyone's game is on its map (a minute at most): the overlay says whom it waits for, then the 3-2-1, everyone at a start of their own. A player whose game gets there later is put at a start then; until then they see only the round's clock. Open Throwdowns > Domination (skate. 3) to stop or leave a waiting round as described above. If everyone's game leaves the park's map, the round ends with its results. The round is played on the spots the starter left on, on every player's screen.

In a session anyone can start a round while none is on; while a round is on, only the player who started it or the host can stop it, and the others see its settings and spots as they are.

Known limitations

• ReSkate 2.1.2 map changes: follow the warning at the top. This plugin does not include the native ReSkate fix. Closing Throwdowns alone is not a verified workaround.
• Skate 3 Improved loading: load it through the game's map menu before opening Throwdowns. Direct custom-map loading from Domination is disabled by default on official 2.1.2.
• Playtest status: the 0.10.4 layouts pass offline package, geometry and runtime checks. Gameplay testing of the updated layouts, live two-PC multiplayer and physical pause behavior during rounds remain unverified.

Saved files and park tools

• The mod keeps its files in Mods/.reskate_plugin_data/<installed-mod-folder>/ in the game's folder: stats.json (your play counts), settings.json (the screen's last park, length, teams, practice bots, outlines and spot-label preference; the round options and the mini-map are not kept), spots.json (the spots you turned off), parks/ (the parks you made) and packs/ (the packs you shared).
• <installed-mod-folder> is the actual folder holding this mod: normally IVI3SI-Domination_Multiplayer_Skate3_and_San_Van for the Thunderstore copy. An earlier local copy may use a different folder. The folder determines which saves are read; the display name does not. Different folders have separate data locations, and this update does not migrate files between them.
• MAKING-PARKS.md explains the in-game park maker and sharing. Its advanced authoring sections need the separate development source checkout. Python tools, park specs, tests and DEVELOPING.md are kept there and are not included in this player download.
