The source strings for the game's translation have been updated on Transifex. Languages that were previously 100% translated are now 88,87% translated.

Changes include:
- Translation for the STK server messages used during log in
- Translation for the names of STK's default skins
- Translation for the server answers to server commands in the server lobby (and much improved base messages in english)
- Contextual translation for several words that needed it (most notably "Medium" which could be a kart class, a font size, a graphics setting...)
- Removal of raw URLs from translatable strings
- Some other new strings and various small string fixes

Information about how to help translating STK is available here. 

We had some cases previously of low-quality translations that ended up wasting our time, so please only contribute if you have a solid grasp of English and your chosen language. 

If you notice issues in the source strings that need to be translated, please let me know!

Well, the Hacienda track is only an almost empty desert with some low-quality cactus, an old Hacienda(?) and some boxes (idk why) near the canyon.
So my ideas are: improve and/or grow the hacienda part, like putting some animals and hay; an oasis in the center of the track,; put more desert plants and vegetation, etc.
I've make some cactus models to this track, so I can send here (not now, I'm not with my PC now...)
For now, it's this.

Here's my icon for Gavroche in the Suzanne style, it's a work in progress was made in Krita

Sorry to ruin the plans, but I have to remind you why Mr Iceblock should not come back; he is not a mascot. I also have to remind you that the characters are from other open-source projects.

Well, in this year, I'll finish my school (finally :), so in the next year, I will only work and maybe made some courses, so I will have more time to contribute, and how I'm bad in programming and I'm learning Blender, I want to help in some things, like Tracks and Karts revamps, and I (and 90% of the players) repaired the lack of good animations in the kart models, and with the new version (STK Évolution) adding more animations, I think I can help on add more animations  and maybe new karts, as my new Katie project (I know: Mish was made this also, but was based in a old version of the actual Konqi), that is here: https://github.com/CreamBR-STK/stk-sandb...katie-kart (I was having problems with baking my texture, so someone can help me to make texture like how is generally made for the game, pls?)

This first blog post exploring the gameplay novelties and improvements we are working on for SuperTuxKart Evolution looks at collisions between karts, the collection of track items, jumps, and several others topics.

Pictures, charts and even a video help illustrate the various gameplay changes that the text talks about, around a common theme of making the gameplay more consistent, intuitive and fun.

Find out more in the full blog post.

Between 2015 and 2018, I remember that the overworld would turn dark when it was nighttime at my house when I played SuperTuxKart 0.8 (specifically that version). This year I tried to test that trick again, but it never worked. If I remember correctly, I downloaded SuperTuxKart 0.8 from Softonic instead of the official website, so it's very likely that the version I had was modified by Softonic. When I went to the Softonic website, I realized that version 0.8 was no longer available for download, only version 1.4, and I was never able to activate the overworld night trick when it was nighttime at my house/wherever I was.

   
The screenshot is recreated, but this is what the overworld looks like when you play SuperTuxKart 0.8 around 9 PM.

And I just wanted to ask if this has happened to anyone else.

Extra tidbit: I also remember that when I explored the overworld at night, the game would crash after 5 minutes

In an effort to improve the documentation and help guide new contributors, I've written a new page on the website to outline the major steps to contribute to the official SuperTuxKart code. It focuses mainly on the game code, but a lot of the advice is relevant for contribution to other repositories like the blender scripts and STK addons.

The page can be found here: https://supertuxkart.net/How_to_contribute_code

Its sections cover things such as building from source, advice on how to pick something to work on and on how to communicate with the team, general reminders about writing quality code, and explanations about the pull request process to get the code merged in the official codebase.

Discussion space related to the STK addon in Blender.

I have gained experience and a good command of Blender (dev script python) and I am currently working on a node editor for launching tests of different 3D artist projects from blender.
An advanced version already exists on my personal repository https://github.com/LLS-lopos/stk-blender/tree/master and I am currently rewriting it properly in https://github.com/LLS-lopos/stk-blender...stk-origin for the main version of the addon.
All constructive remarks are welcome with great pleasure (even negative criticism). 
If anything seems interesting to add/modify, please report it.
I am also willing to perform other tasks related to the existing code (improvements and other things).
