Smoke Session

NEW IN 1.4.0: REAL SMOKE + 187! A glowing ember on the joint, a thick white cloud when you exhale, and a brand-new 187 hand sign on Beckon. Works on mod maps - for the joint (instead of the phone) on mod maps, move Smoke Session to the top of your mod list (see "Mod maps").

by N O B L E

Does not work with other phone mods. This mod replaces the in-game phone model with the joint. Disable any other mod that changes the phone (e.g. phone skins/replacements) before using Smoke Session.

Animation pack for skate. that turns five gestures into custom animations: two smoke sessions with real ember and smoke effects, a full-body twerk, gang signs and the 187 hand sign.

What's inside

Which animation works when?

Take A Break (Sit) is off-board only, same as in the vanilla game.

Mod maps

• Animations and effects: all gestures work on every custom map automatically, including maps released later. Nothing to set up.

• Joint: to see the joint instead of the phone on mod maps, Smoke Session has to load above the map:

  1. ReSkate launcher > MODS
  2. Smoke Session > Move to top
  3. Start the game. Maps you install later end up below Smoke Session automatically.
  4. After installing or updating Smoke Session, move it to the top again - the launcher puts reinstalled mods at the bottom.

  If Smoke Session is lower in the list, the animations still play on mod maps, but with the phone in the hand.

• Joint support is included for these maps: 116th Street, Algonquin, Andys Room DESA, Berlin by Gyom, Bikini Bottom, BO2 TranZit, Canuk Plaza, De_Dust2 CS 1.6, Full Simpsons Hit N Run Map, Full Skate 3 Map, LosSantos Big (LS-X1 North, LS-X2 South), Liberty City Bohan, Maloof Money Cup 2010 NYC, New San Vanelona (Skate 2 Map), Overpass (CS2), Schoolyard, Session Parking Garage, Skate 3 Improved, South Florida, Southbank, SunJay UnderBelly, TWEAKS YARD. On other maps the animations work with the phone; more maps will be added in updates.

The animations

Take A Break - Smoke Session (15 s)

Your skater sits down cross-legged, holds a joint between two fingers, takes one slow drag, exhales a thick white cloud, picks his nose, inspects the result with disgust and flicks it away before the loop starts over. The ember glows the whole time and flares up on every drag.

Stoked - Smoke on the go (30 s)

Joint in the left hand, held at the hip. After 8 seconds one slow drag and a long exhale. At 20 seconds four quick hits in a row, then a look at the joint, arm down, exhale, and the loop starts over. Works standing, with the board in hand and while riding. Ember glow all the time and flaring up on every drag; white exhale smoke after the drags (standing and with the board in hand). While riding the body stays calm - no more bouncing.

Pumping Iron - Twerk (23 s)

A full 23-second twerk routine timed to a real dance reference (95 BPM): hip circles, pops on the beat, deep squats, standing up, hip sways and arms up. Hips lead, knees bounce, spine, head and arms follow. With the board in hand the skater puts the board down on the floor, dances with both hands free and picks it up again at the end.

Sea Wave - Gang Signs (8.75 s)

Eight hand signs, each one landing on the beat: WW, claw, W, finger up, Y, L-crown, crossed fingers and fist into palm, with smooth transitions and a light bounce. With the board in hand the signs are done with the left hand only.

Beckon - 187 hand sign (~5 s)

Right hand shows the "18" (index finger up, two finger loops for the 8), left hand the "7" - read 1-8-7 from the front. Smooth intro with the fingers forming one after another, then a lively loop on the beat: push forward, tilt, nod and bounce. With the board in hand the free hand switches between 18 and 7.

Smoke and ember effects

• Glowing ember at the tip of the joint, always on while the joint is in the hand, flaring up on every drag, with a thin smoke trail.
• White exhale cloud after the drags in Take A Break and Stoked.
• Effects are only shown on your own screen. ReSkate multiplayer sends the skater's pose, not effects - other players see your animation, but not the smoke.

How to use

1. Install the mod from the ReSkate launcher (MODS > BROWSE) and make sure it is enabled.
2. Recommended: move Smoke Session to the top of your mod list (for the joint on mod maps).
3. Open the gesture wheel and pick Take A Break, Stoked, Pumping Iron, Sea Wave or Beckon.

Good to know

• Goofy stance: the animations are mirrored correctly, but the joint sits slightly offset in the hand.
• Replaces five gestures. While the mod is enabled, Take A Break, Stoked, Pumping Iron, Sea Wave and Beckon play the animations above instead of the vanilla ones.
• Effect side note: the smoke and ember reuse particle effects that also belong to the Demon Suit fire breath and the Grim Reaper finger flame. If you own those gestures, they show the joint smoke / small ember instead of their original fire while Smoke Session is enabled.
• Replaces the phone model. The joint uses the game's hand-prop (the phone) slot. Anywhere the game shows a phone in a hand (for example the Selfie gesture or pedestrians on their phones) you will see a joint instead.
• Not compatible with other mods that replace the phone model (characters/props/phone/basicsmartphone) or the Take A Break (sit), Stoked (yay), Pumping Iron (flex), Sea Wave or Beckon animations, or mods that change the gesture effect table. Disable those first.
• Built for the current supported skate. build. After a game update the mod may show as OUTDATED until it is rebuilt.
