LevelMod is a global modification for the game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. The original mod was in development in between 2011 and 2013. Its main goal was to provide the hardcore THPS3 community at chapter-3.net with new levels from other games to play on and it was the first mod to feature a properly playable ports.

The new iteration of the mod is a hobby project for die hard fans of THPS3. It aims to accumulate all the fixes the community has created for the game over the years or even only wished for in a single mod. It also aims to be fully customizable, allowing to maintain the feel of the original game by being able to toggle most of the introduced changes.

LevelMod features:

• playable levels from various Tony Hawk's games
• multiple crash & bug fixes
• some optimizations to game engine
• mod settings menu with multiple features to toggle
• trick system overhaul to add features from later games (extra tricks, wallplant/wallieplant, etc).
• integrated patches like 251x or 32 tag counter limit.
• graphics enhancement(extra blendmodes, shaders, mipmaps, AA, etc)

Q files Q script files are compiled using ThpsQScriptEd tool, you can get it here: https://github.com/DCxDemo/LegacyThps

DLL code changes Additional code used to be loaded in LevelMod.flt by integrated MSS plugin system, but this method is deprecated now. Now you only need d3d8.dll, hence you must remove all instances of legacy levelmod.flt, including copies/backups. If the game finds flt file in same folder as skate3.exe or data/MILES, it will try to load it and since it's already loaded inside d3d8.dll it will crash the game. This also means you don't need a custom game executable anymore, since all the patches were moved to d3d8.dll.

DLL Compilation notes

1. Include Extension.h and add the d3d8.lib to your project.
2. If you use VS you need to set USE MULTI BYTE CHARSET.
3. Set Export target to .flt instead of .dll and add your flt file to data/MILES folder.
4. Remember to add the scripts and the latest built d3d8.dll to not make your game crash.
