Wheel Shapes HD
High-detail wheel shapes from real wheels: classic, conical, full conical, radial, radial slim and asymmetric, plus wave, offroad, longboard and the game's own. Preview each beside the menu, then apply. A ReSkate plugin.Wheel Shapes HD
Pick the shape of your wheels in the PLUGINS menu, on the Wheel Shapes HD page. Tap a shape to see it beside the menu, as a picture and as its side profile (the wheel seen front-on, over the game's wheel, with how wide its riding surface is), then press APPLY to put it in.
| Shape | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Conical (default) | a wide riding surface with a straight cut down each edge |
| Classic | the everyday street shape: a narrow riding surface and big round edges |
| Full conical | a wider riding surface and a shorter cut at each edge |
| Radial | a full riding surface with round edges, the urethane cut away around the core |
| Radial slim | a thinner radial |
| Asymmetric | a straight edge on the truck side to lock in, a cut on the outside |
| Wave (extreme) | the riding surface snakes side to side around the wheel |
| Offroad (extreme) | rounded and knobbly, 16 knobs around; pair it with big wheels |
| Longboard (extreme) | an offset core: the urethane reaches past the hub and its face dishes in, so the axle nut sits inside; pair it with big wheels |
| Game's own | the game's wheel as it comes |
The everyday shapes are drawn from a wheel maker's chart of real wheels cut through the axle: each one's width, riding surface and edge, with flat faces and the bearings sitting in them.
- High detail. Every shape, the game's own included, is a smooth new model: 64 segments around instead of the game's 24.
- All four wheels change. The game has one wheel model for every wheel, so a shape is the whole model made again.
- Your wheel colors and graphics stay. They're laid onto every shape the way the game lays them onto its own wheel.
- Only the look changes. The game's physics rolls on its own round wheel whatever the shape.
- APPLY reloads the level with the shape, in about half a minute. The next launch starts with it.
- In multiplayer you see your shape on every board, other players' too, and they see theirs (or the game's wheel without the mod). It's only how your game draws wheels.
Works with
- Truck Tightness and Wheel Size: sizes and widths scale whatever shape is in. Longboard looks best at 80 to 100 mm, Offroad at 80 mm and up.
- WideDeck13: changes the deck, trucks and wheel spacing, not the wheel model, so both work together. Turn WideDeck13 on before you launch the game: switched on mid-session, its wheels can stay at the game's spacing until the next launch.
- Another mod with its own wheel model (Spitfire F4 Wheels): only one wheel model can be drawn. The mod higher in the mod list wins; the Wheel Shapes HD page says so while one is on.
