Spatial Speaker

Drop speakers anywhere in the world through the plugin menu, and listen to your music (including songs added via mods) directly in the world.

Features

• Binaural & Skatepark Acoustics:

  • Camera-Relative 3D Panning & Binaural Ear Delay (ITD): Turning your camera or skating past a speaker pans the music across your ears with subtle interaural time delay and head-shadowing.
  • Boombox Cabinet EQ & Skatepark Reflections: Rolls off sub-bass rumble, adds warm portable cabinet resonance, and blends in 4-tap concrete early reflections as you skate further from the speaker.
  • Raycast Wall Muffling: Automatically muffles high frequencies when a wall, ledge, or quarterpipe blocks line of sight between you and the speaker.
  • Smooth Multi-Speaker Blending: Place up to 8 speakers around a park and skate seamlessly from one speaker zone into another with energy-weighted crossfading.
  • Subtle ground ring and floating track label fade out cleanly as you skate away, with a Show Speaker Overlay toggle and an Overlay Range slider (1 m to 25 m) in the menu.

Controls (Insert -> Spatial Speaker)

1. Open the ReSkate menu (Insert) and select Spatial Speaker.
2. Click Drop Speaker Ahead to place a speaker on the ground in front of your skater.
3. Start any playlist or music source from the in-game D-Pad Music Menu.
4. Adjust Speaker Gain, Audio Radius, Radius Boost, Environment Acoustics, Show Speaker Overlay, and Overlay Range at any time—your settings and preferred speaker model save automatically.

Notes:

I am not a programmer, and am 100% certain there will be bugs. Should they be brought to my attention, I will see what can be done

This plugin is intended to be client sided, allowing it to work in multiplayer for everyone involved.

V1.3.0

Reworked Reverb & Spatial Audio

• Overhauled reverb and echo (requires ReSkate 2.1.4-3+) with a much smoother, longer decay tail that carries naturally across larger parks and indoor spaces.
• Fixed the harsh "one-ear" feeling when a speaker is directly to your left or right so panning across headphones feels much more balanced.
• Improved environmental occlusion and wall bounce detection, including better sound projection out of open skate bowls, around corners/pillars, and under high highway overpasses vs. low tunnels.

Cleaner Menu & Per-Map Sound Settings

• Cleaned up and reorganized the plugin menu with collapsible sections so it's less cluttered and easier to navigate.
• Sound settings (volume, radius, reverb, wall reflections, and muffling) now automatically save and load based on the map you're on.

Visual Polish

• Replaced the colored ground rings under speakers with a flat, transparent gray/white circle that slowly pulses outwards.
• Floating song titles above speakers are now gaze-aware and only fade in when you're nearby and looking toward the speaker.
