Spatial Speaker

Drop speakers anywhere in the world through the plugin menu or Quick Drop, 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.
  • Basic and Advanced Audio Settings: Quickly adjust Speaker Volume and Audio Radius from the main menu, or expand Advanced Audio to fine-tune Bass Boost, Reflective Volume (sound bouncing off nearby walls, bowls, and ear-side surfaces), Wall & Obstacle Muffling, and Reverb / Space Echo.
  • Ear-Side Wall Reflections & Vertical Filtering: Skating or grinding next to a wall reflects sound into the ear closest to the wall, while speakers placed high above or deep below you naturally filter high frequencies and add vertical reverb.
  • Dynamic Ceiling & Raycast Wall Muffling: Scales overhead acoustics smoothly between tall indoor roofs and tight low tunnels, and muffles high frequencies when a wall, ledge, or quarterpipe blocks line of sight.
  • Quick Drop & Menu Placement: Drop speakers via quick drop (Note: due to engine limitations, speaker placement preview appears as a grey box and transforms after placement) or through the plugin menu. Three model options available, including a boombox, speaker icon, or invisible.
  • Map-Linked Park Presets: Save up to 4 speaker setups per map (including a Map-Linked Preset slot with an optional Auto-Load Map Setup on Join toggle defaulting to Off, plus 3 extra Spot slots).
  • Subtle ground ring and floating track label fade out cleanly as you skate away, with an Overlay Range slider (0 = Off, 1 m to 25 m) in the menu.

Controls (Insert -> Spatial Speaker or Quick Drop)

1. Open the ReSkate menu (Insert -> Spatial Speaker) and click Drop Speaker Ahead, OR open Quick Drop (D-Pad Down) and place Boom Box, 90's (Spatial Speaker) (in Spatial Audio).
2. Start any playlist or music source from the in-game D-Pad Music Menu.
3. Adjust Speaker Volume and Audio Radius in Basic Settings, or open Advanced Audio to customize Bass Boost, Reflective Volume, Wall & Obstacle Muffling, and Reverb / Space Echo.
4. Open Saved Setups in the plugin menu to save, load, or unload speaker layouts for the current map.

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.
