Feet Only

Feet Only for skate. (ReSkate): a costume that hides the skater except the shoes, so you ride as a pair of shoes on a board, fingerboard style. Unequip the costume and your skater comes back.

How to use

Install the mod with the ReSkate launcher, or copy the mynewmod folder into Skate\Mods\.
Make sure FeetOnly is enabled in the launcher's mod manager (or in the MODS tab of the in-game ReSkate menu), then start the game.
Open Apparel -> Costumes and equip Feet Only Costume. Whatever shoes you have equipped stay visible; everything else disappears.

How it works

The costume is a copy of the game's Ghost Skater costume with its ghost effect and foley removed, carrying its own hiding rule: head and body meshes hidden, every clothing slot hidden except shoes. The costume's own mesh is kept (a costume without one makes the game's appearance build fail and crash later) but is never drawn: the mod edits that stock mesh's geometry so every section draws zero triangles. While this mod is enabled the stock Ghost Skater costume is therefore invisible too.

Compatibility

Built for Skate build 25414733 (the build ReSkate supports).
Adds one costume and its slot-hiding rule, and edits the Ghost Skater mesh geometry's draw counts. Adds no code. ReSkate merges the item list it edits with other cosmetic mods.

Known limitations

The wardrobe tile reuses an existing shoe's thumbnail.
Socks are hidden with the rest of the outfit. Only the shoes slot stays visible.
The stock Ghost Skater costume is invisible while this mod is enabled.
Multiplayer has not been tested.

Building from source

The mod is generated from the game's own data by tools/build_feetonly.py in the mod's source repository (the tools are not part of the release zip):

python tools/build_feetonly.py --game "<folder with Skate.exe>" --out .
python tools/make_release.py --mod . --out ../FeetOnly-release

The tools folder is a Python port of ReSkate's Frostbite format code and is licensed under the GPL-3.0 (see tools/LICENSE in the repository).
