King of the Spot on Spades Spot servers: a zone on the map to hold, the best of each section wears the crown. Join a Spades Spot server with ReSkate 2.1.2 or newer; there is nothing to sign up for.

ReSkate 2.1.3 and newer ask once whether to turn the plugin on: choose Turn on.

How it works

  • At any time one zone is up on the map (a spot, a circle of about 12 m and about 8 m up and down - a roof over it does not count; on the HUD a see-through wall shows it). It changes every section (10 minutes). When a skate park is put up on the server, King of the Spot may move into the park while it stands.
  • Be alone in the zone and you get a point every second - up to 10, then land a trick in the zone to keep scoring (standing still is not holding). If someone else is in it too it is contested: no points for time, only for tricks.
  • Land tricks in the zone for more: every 100 trick points are one point (at most 3 a second).
  • When the section ends, whoever has the most points (at least 30) is the King: it is said in chat (and on a card for players without the mod; the HUD shows a banner).
  • Playing a race, hide and seek or a throwdown does not stop it - you just sit out until you are done.

/koth tells you the rules and where the spot is, /koth tp (or F3 > King of the Spot > Teleport to the spot) takes you there (once a minute, not in a race, hide and seek or a throwdown). Within 150 m the HUD shows the zone, a marker pointing at it, HOLDING, CONTESTED (only tricks count while others are in it too) while you are in it, your points, the leader and the time left. Its size is set with SpadesSpot: ReSkate menu (Insert) > PLUGINS > Spades Spot > HUD size.

Without this mod

You still play on Spades Spot: the zone is announced in chat, the crown on a card, and /koth tells you where the spot is. Your tricks only count with the mod, which reports them to the server.

Zones

Staff (rank 50 and up) edit the zones: F3 > King of the Spot > Zone editor. The HUD shows every zone with its number and its rings (ground and top), the selected one in pink, and the keys:

Key
1 / 2 a new zone where you stand / move the selected zone here
3 / 4 radius -2 / +2 m (4-40 m)
5 / 6 height -2 / +2 m (2-40 m up and down; below 2: no height limit)
7 / 8 previous / next zone
9 teleport to the selected zone
0 hide / show it (out of / back into the rotation)
Ctrl+D twice delete it (only zones made in the editor; spots and the map's zones are hidden instead)
Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+S / X undo / save / cancel

The same in chat: /koth zones, /koth zone [radius] [name], /koth move <n>, /koth radius <n> <m>, /koth height <n> <m> (0: no limit), /koth name [n] <text> (without n: the selected zone), /koth hide <n>, /koth unhide <n>, /koth delete <n>, /koth tp <n>, /koth save, /koth cancel.

For server owners

The server copy runs the sections on a dedicated server (koth status, koth caps, koth test on the console; settings in config.json). It needs ReSkate 2.1.2. The zones come from the data mod spades-data (data/koth/<level key>.json, {"zones": [{"id", "name", "c": [x, y, z], "r", "h"}]}, h half the height, 0 no limit, missing zone_h); without a file for the level nothing runs. Park zones: data/koth/parks.json ({"parks": {"<park mod>": {"name", "c", "r", "h"}}}); when a park mod is put up (reskate.server.parks, not a race or night park), it is rolled once (park_chance) and on a hit the sections run in its zone (park:<name>) while it stands. What the editor saves is kept in the plugin's storage and written to the log as [koth] zones <level key> <json>. Sections are logged as [koth] round, [koth] result and [koth] king lines; [koth] level <level key> says which level the plugin is on (once when it is ready, then on every level change). The level key is the loaded level's name with every character except letters, digits, ., _ and - replaced by _.

Install SpadesKingOfTheSpot

You need ReSkate and your own copy of skate. on Steam.

  1. Open ReSkateLauncher.exe and go to MODS.
  2. Search for SpadesKingOfTheSpot and click install. The launcher also installs anything it depends on.
  3. Press PLAY. In game, the MODS tab of the ReSkate menu (Insert) turns it on and off.

Or install it by hand: download the .zip and drop it on the launcher window, or unzip it into its own folder in Mods\ beside Skate.exe.

Maps show up in the ReSkate menu's level list. To join a server running a custom map, you need the same map installed. If the game won't load after installing, see known issues.

skatemods doesn't host or review this mod. The download comes straight from Thunderstore. Only install mods you trust, because scripts can run code.
