I have a question: Will the karts stay (mainly) the same for STK Evolution?

Will some get an upgrade or removed/replaced?

Would be very interesting to know.

My personaly wish would be to bring Beastie back

Hi there!
Are there any plans to let Online-Servers require players to have certain add-ons installed, and/or ask them to download them when they try to join the server? Xonotic does a similar thing - if you try to join a server where a custom map is running, you have to allow the game to download it to join. For STK, this clearly wouldn't work out - as it would delay the start of the game heavily - but forcing the download when a player tries to join should work out.

So, to be clear about what I have in mind. Assume I have a server running where the map "Museum" and "Lost Chasm" are installed, and I activate the option "Require players to install Add-Ons". Upon joining, the player who doesn't have these maps gets a message like
"This server requires you to have following Add-Ons installed:
-Museum
-Lost Chasm

Download | Cancel"

Any chance for such a feature? =) It would greatly improve the support for custom maps - as things are now, you can be sure that in a game with 6 players or more somebody has no add-ons installed.

Hi there.
I think some of you might already noticed it - a few friends and me are playing SuperTuxKart nearly every Monday (we had a pause this week) at roughly 20:30 o'clock (GMT+0). The game name is always "Mumbos Hut".

The skill level of us is rather moderate, but our games usually attract newbies and what I assume are top-notch drivers alike.

There is a semi-public Mumble-Server available at monkeytemple.hopto.org - the port is 64738. Using it requires prior registration and approval, you can either follow the routine described in the welcome message there or contact me here.

Edit: Oh, maybe important - I'm hosting from Germany; everyone is welcome, but people from oversea might have high pings .

Upon registration, the SuperTuxKart Forum sends an email containing an activation link. After the link has been opened, you will be able to fully use your forum account and write replies.

This activation ensures that you control the email address you used to register, so that the forum's mail server doesn't send messages that could be perceived as spam, and so that you can use that address in case you need to reset your password or want to receive email notifications from the forum.

However, while many email providers (including, for example, Gmail and ProtonMail) let our forum's emails reach the inbox, some email providers overzealously block them. Check first the spam folder, and if the registration email is there, mark it as legitimate.

If after a few minutes, the email is neither in your main inbox nor in your spam folder, it is possible that your provider is completely blocking our forum's emails.

The STK team has the possibility to manually activate accounts, however we still want to ensure that you control the email address used for registration:

• You can try using a different email provider for registration, and after having activated your new account, send a private message to an administrator with the information of the account that failed activation. We can then remove the account that failed activation and rename your working account to use the username you wanted to use in the first place. You will receive forum emails at the address that worked.
  
• You can also use the email address you used for registration to send us an email at hello@supertuxkart-evolution.com explaining your account needs activation. In this case we can manually activate it, but be aware you likely won't be able to reset your password or receive notifications.
  

• Vous pouvez essayer d'utiliser un fournisseur courriel différent pour l'inscription, et après avoir activé votre nouveau compte, envoyez un message privé à un administrateur avec les informations du compte que vous n'avez pas pu activer. Nous pouvons alors le supprimer, et changer le nom d'utilisateur de votre compte qui fonctionne en celui que vous vouliez initialement utiliser. Vous recevrez les courriels du forum à l'adresse ayant fonctionné.
  
• Vous pouvez aussi utiliser l'adresse courriel utilisée pour l'inscription pour nous envoyer un courriel à hello@supertuxkart-evolution.com en expliquant que votre compte a besoin d'être activé. Dans ce cas, nous pouvons l'activer manuellement, mais soyez conscient que vous ne pourrez probablement pas réinitialiser votre mot de passe ou recevoir des notifications.
  

New graphics will come at a cost of performance im guessing, will the game still be playable on a t500.

Hi,

I started playing STK1.4 a few months ago on Debian using its packages. In races chats I heard about Godette, but for me this kart is missing.

According to https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code...ANGELOG.md and https://blog.supertuxkart.net/2022/09/ it should be a new standard kart in STK1.4

It is neither listed in https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code..._karts.xml nor included in http://svn.code.sf.net/p/supertuxkart/co...ets/karts/

As there are no references and no assets for Godette it cannot be included I guess, but why was it announced for 1.4 and even improved for 1.5? What's going on?

As some of you know, there's the monaco track in Formula 1.

Sadly, i'm pretty bad at making tracks and don't have enough time.
Would anyone of you like to create the Monaco Circuit as Addon?

Let me know what you think!

Is there already a list of tracks which are planned to be in the new major release? Or some tracks that are confirmed/safe to remove/update?

If I could choose, I would definitely want to stay Fort Magma and Minigolf, because these are unique tracks. Minigolf is the only one where you really can drive/are fastest with a light kart (which personally is for me like Monaco in F1) and Fort Magma, not only because of its secret room, there are also lots of other places outofmap. It would be hard to lose one of those tracks.

On the other hand, there's Volcano Island, which has much potential, but right now it feels a bit boring, because a big part of the track you just drive in circles and the atmosphere itself is a bit boring, because everything around pretty stays the same (would be nice to add e. g. some palms, bars). But if this track gets an update, it could get really nice.

However, it's not my workto choose tracks, and if you want to remove or change/update them, I have no problem with it

What do you think?

It would be great if there were some soccer tournaments. I could imagine if it would be like every month (or 2nd month, idk what is the best option)

There hasn't been a soccer tournament for a long time, which i wouldn't want to stay

What do you think?

I always enjoyed egg hunt mode and like that mode really much. But there has always been a problem: It isn't possible to play it with more than one player, not even local. It would be great if there would be an egg mode for multiplayer, then you can e. g. try to find eggs together, which is in my opinion also really fun.

Plus, it would be great if more tracks included Egg Hunt mode.

Let me know what you think about that.
