Minor Update 0.0.4

Happy Monday SXL fans! We just released minor update 0.0.4. Here's a rundown of new features and bug fixes that are included

For a walkthrough, check out Nightspeeds' video here, with further description below:

In Air Rotation: In previous builds, when you popped a trick the skater would rotate to be upright in every situation. Now the skater will rotate to the angle of the surface you’ll land on. This is massively helpful when skating quarter pipes or park like environments with lots of banks and ramps, which includes many of the modded maps.

Old Transfer Rotation:


New Transfer Rotation:



Goofy Board Control Direction (when doing flip tricks): Last update we fixed the board control direction when you are moving the board left or right during ollies only. Now it's fixed for flip tricks as well and the board should move correctly at all times, in all stances.

Goofy Low Ollie Knee Pop: Issues with the knee in the low goofy ollie animation have been fixed.

New Goofy Low Ollie:


Wheels: They roll now. 😃

Disclaimer for modded wheel textures: The old wheel texture contained shadows and looked strange when rolling as the shadow would roll with the wheel. With this update we have removed the shadow and custom modded wheel textures should use the new wheel texture as a base going forward.

Max Grind Angle: The max vertical angle you can tweak your board in a grind has been increased a small amount to help with locking into tricks like blunt slides.

Courthouse: Ed has been working his way towards completing the Courthouse map. In this update you'll see improvements to grass and dirt patches.

Old Grass:



New Grass:



Falling While Setup: Previously, there was a bug where if you were falling while setting up for a trick and simultaneously turning, the skater would turn but the board would fall as an unresponsive physics object.

Old Fall When Turning From Setup:



New Fall When Turning From Setup:



Goofy Push Foot Placement: Fixed position of foot when pushing in goofy stance.


Crash Fix: Removed a plugin that was causing crashes for many users.

Mod Disclaimer: As many of you have experienced, downloading game updates will override your custom mesh and texture mods. To re-install these changes you'll need to open the Unity Asset Bundle Extractor and replace your textures and other graphical mods. To re-activate scripted mods like the level importer you simply need to open the Unity Mod Manager and click “Install” once before running the game post update.

Known Issues: With this update, there was introduced a small audio bug when landing which sometimes results in a few extra sounds on impact. This will be fixed in the next update.

Thank you for your continued support. We'll catch you on the next update!
