Hello everyone, while looking through the files for all versions of SuperTuxKart, I found several voice lines for Tux in the SuperTuxKart 0.7 files that were never used, I think, and which were later removed in version 0.9. Here are the files I mentioned:

• crash.ogg
  
• explode.ogg
  
• goo.ogg
  
• horn.ogg
  
• pass.ogg
  
• uh-oh.ogg
  
• win.ogg
  
• yeah.ogg
  
• zipper.ogg
  

• Who is the voice actor for Tux?
  
• Which of these voice lines were used?
  
• Why were they removed in version 0.9?
  

I made a track where I animate the Old Car from the library - it drives along a road. I would like it to bump into players but the oldCar library node has interaction set to ghost and you can't change it when you link it into your own track, as far as I know. So I thought I'd put an invisible physics-only crash box around it. But I don't know how to make the crash box move together with the old car. In Blender, I can make the crash box a child of the old car proxy and it moves along with it in Blender but not in STK. I can also give it a location and rotation constraintand set it to the old car proxy but again, it only works in Blender, not in STK.
I guess I could copy all the animation keyframes from the old car object to the crash box object but it's a little clumsy in case I want to change the animation later, etc.

What's the best way to do this? Thank you for your answers!

P.S: I use Blender 2.79b so that I can mess with the standard tracks

I uploaded the route “The Savannah of Africa” at the end of February 2026. Someone gave the route 2 stars. If there are still things about the route that bother you, please let me know. I can usually change them. The large trees are my first trees and are not the best at the moment.
Best regards

Hello Everyone,
I want to make a suggestion that it would be great if there was a speedometer indicating the speed on corners & straight in the race for each car so that it would help users to know where they are slow & improve based on speed.

If there is a addon then it's great but it would be nice if it come as a default feature. 



Thank You!!

Hello everyone, a few days ago I was browsing the SuperTuxKart asset repositories and unexpectedly stumbled upon an beta version of Demon Hill that was never used in the game. It had a different pitch on some notes, and even though it might seem insignificant to some, I wondered what the song we all heard in the game would sound like with that pitch, and that's how this remix was born and I know, several months ago I created a remix of the same thing, but since I added effects like reverb, echo, and things like that, I decided to redo it, but this time only raising the pitch and not touching anything else, since the point of the remix is practically "but in the pitch of the Beta Version" haha.

You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmuOz8IjWQQ

The music is quite boring on most tracks. Will version 2.0 bring any changes to the music?

Hey, I made an update for Rock Stadium that I'll publish this weekend, let me know if some changes are needed.

Also does anyone know why the red zipper on drive effect isn't working? I want to show one particle that increases its size with time for almost 2 seconds but nothing shows up.

I was converting some standard tracks (fort magma, etc) to Blender 3.x, but when I try to export, I get a error "Maindrivelive not found", but I have assigned the driveline as it, so why this is happening?

Assumes the changes in PR #5642 of the main repository, which targets the BalanceSTK2 branch.
Go into the game's source code folder, let's assume it's called ``stk-code".

This is the (recommended by me, but also seems to be the originally intended) set of guidelines and procedures to add new Kart Characteristics to the code, that must be accordingly declared in the ``data/kart_characteristics.xml" file. It is quite terse and a product of the time it was designed, so no one is going to be opposing complete overhauls, but it is still infinitely better than implementing the parser changes manually every time.


The parser for these is automatically generated by a set of two python scripts, allowing kart classes and handicap levels to override only the needed parameters from the base parameters, or modify them with mathematical operations. Quite convenient.

Inside the ``tools/" folder, there are two relevant Python scripts.

• ``tools/create_kart_properties": Edit the "characteristics" global variable at the start of this file to add new characteristic categories and/or parameters for these categories. The format is described at the end of the post
  
• ``tools/update_characteristics.py": Run it with ``stk-code" as your working directory, with the command ``python3 tools/update_characteristics.py".
   It will automatically edit these files inside ``src/karts": abstract_characteristic.cpp, abstract_characteristic.hpp, kart_properties.cpp, kart_properties.hpp, xml_characteristic.cppThe edits will be made to match the new contents of ``tools/create_kart_properties.py".
  

• float (don't annotate the parameter, e.g. ``param")
  
• list of floats (annotate the parameter like so ``param(std::vector<float>/floatVector)")
  
• bool (annotate the parameter like so ``param(bool)")
  
• InterpolationArray (annotate the parameter like so ``param(InterpolationArray)")
  
• STK Tyre Mod Edition (not regular STK 2.X) also has string, annotated like so:
  
  Code:

  param(std::string/string)

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. On February 6, 2026, I uploaded the “Wildlife Jungle Ruins” track for the add-ons. What is the next step, and when can I expect it to be approved? Best regards, TuxRacer
