Rain Better Skateboards IL2CPP

Rain’s Better Skateboards

Customize and rebalance every skateboard in Schedule I with Rain’s Better Skateboards. Fine-tune hover height, jump force, handling, and speed across all six boards using a simple configuration file.

Features

• Fully Configurable Physics — Modify top speed, hover strength, jump force, and handling.
• Applies to All Boards — CheapSkateboard, Cruiser, GoldSkateboard, LightweightSkateboard, OffroadSkateboard, and the default Skateboard.
• Automatic Config Generation — Writes BetterSkateboardConfig.json on first run.
• Safe Prefab Editing — Edits prefab values directly; no runtime instability.
• Backup System — Saves previous config as .json.bak before overwriting.

Configuration

A configuration file named BetterSkateboardConfig.json will be created automatically in your Mods folder when the game is launched for the first time. Each board’s values can be edited freely; the mod applies them at startup.

Default path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Schedule I\Mods\BetterSkateboardConfig.json

Key Parameters

Field — Description

Name — Prefab name of the board (must match exactly).

TopSpeed_Kmh / ReverseTopSpeed_Kmh — Forward and reverse speed limits.

HoverForce / HoverHeight / HoverRayLength — Hover lift power and target altitude.

JumpForce / JumpDuration_Min / JumpDuration_Max — Jump behavior tuning.

TurnForce / TurnChangeRate / TurnReturnToRestRate — Turning and stabilization response.

BrakeForce / FrictionEnabled — Braking and traction control.

AirMovementEnabled / AirMovementForce — In-air mobility and responsiveness.

All fields are optional; any omitted values retain their in-game defaults.

Installation

1. Install MelonLoader v0.6.1+ (Mono) or v0.7.0+ (IL2CPP).
2. Copy the correct version of the mod into your game’s Mods folder:

• RainsBetterSkateboards.dll for Mono
• RainsBetterSkateboardsIL2CPP.dll for IL2CPP

1. Launch the game once to generate the config file.
2. Edit the file and relaunch to apply your changes.

Troubleshooting

• “No valid config at startup”

The JSON contains an error. Check for missing commas or braces. The mod will not overwrite your config unless parsing fails.

• Backup files (.bak)

Every time the mod writes defaults, it saves your previous configuration as BetterSkateboardConfig.json.bak in the same folder.

• Changes not applying

Ensure each Name matches exactly with the board prefab name (e.g., GoldSkateboard, Cruiser, etc.).

Technical Notes

• Applies configuration once on scene load (Main).
• Uses Newtonsoft.Json for config serialization.
• Operates entirely on prefab data; no runtime patches or active update loops.
• Confirmed working on Schedule I v0.4.0f9 (Unity 2022.3.62f2).
