Ride Cloud's Buster Sword from Kingdom Hearts (PS2) as your skateboard. The sword is 1:1 with Cloud's size in KH1 (about 1.77 m), so it's much longer than a normal deck. It can clip through the ground in manuals and flip tricks, and that's expected.
How to use
- Install this mod. It needs Kingdom Hearts Boards by Krismaws, which a mod manager installs for you.
- Launch skate. through ReSkate.
- Open Board → Trucks and equip Buster Sword.
- To get a normal board back, equip Krismaws' Normal Board truck.
Requirements
- skate. (Steam), build 25414733
- ReSkate / ReSkate Launcher
- Kingdom Hearts Boards by Krismaws. It hides the stock deck and wheels so only the sword shows.
Install
Thunderstore / mod manager
Install Buster Sword Board with your Thunderstore-compatible mod manager, then launch the game through ReSkate.
Manual
- Close the game.
- Install Kingdom Hearts Boards first.
- Extract this archive to
skate./Mods/Buster_Sword_Board/solayout.tocandWin32sit directly in that folder. - Start the game with
ReSkateLauncher.exe.
Notes
- Native ReSkate mod (no BepInEx).
- Built as a truck cosmetic, so the sword is drawn as one solid piece on the deck. The board's physics stay the same as a normal board.
- Conflicts with other deck-shape mods (Cruiser Deck Shape, WideDeck), because Kingdom Hearts Boards replaces the same stock deck mesh.
- Mods are tied to the supported game build. If skate. updates, this mod may need a rebuild.
- If it doesn't show up, check
skate./logs/ReSkate.logfor the reason it was left out.
Credits
- Krismaws: Kingdom Hearts Boards. This mod follows the way that one builds a full board as a truck item and depends on it to hide the stock deck. Thanks for the method!
