Hi there!

Like I guess many people I'm also exited for SuperTuxKart to recieve a big improvement with the work on SuperTuxKart Evolution.

Recently, I wanted to test some of the new things out, to get a view of the current development. So I build the development version according to the instructions as mentioned in this post. 

Looking at some of the new tracks and game ideas was interesting. I have already started to like the new Fort Magma map. But I also noticed some issues. Some are to be expected in a development version, like some parts of the map not being fully done. But there are other issues I think could be worth mentioning. For example, on the bridge section relatively at the start of that map, it is possible to get stuck at the skeleton and then having issues progressing, as resets also tend to place you in difficult spots to continue.

Now, I do understand that this is all work in progress and still missing several iterations of improvements. 

What prompted me to write this post was however when I noticed the asset repository had it's last update three months ago. Which seems a bit odd, considering that I doubt development just stopped for that long.

So, I wanted to ask the question:
If I wanted to have the most up-to-date state of development, is the GitHub repository for the assets still the right place to look? Or have the Evolution assets since moved to the SVN repository (or another place for that matter). 
Also, suppose I play around in a development build and find an issue with the tracks, like the one mentioned above with Fort Magma's skeleton, where should they be discussed? Or should I maybe just let you work on it for now until some official alpha?

In 2017, I left SuperTuxKart on the highest note imaginable - a standing ovation at the Blender Conference in Amsterdam as we launched the mobile version. I believed then, and still do, that it's better to end with a firework than fade slowly to irrelevance. I thought that chapter was closed. But sometimes, a project you love calls you back - not because your story wasn't complete, but because there's a new story to write.

Why is the game titled all together "supertuxkart" instead of separating it? for ex: super tuxkart.

Hi everyone,

my name is bitflip, I'm from Sweden, and a big fan of SuperTuxKart! I've been playing a lot and recently set up my own dedicated STK server to host races with family and friends. It's running smoothly otherwise, great ping from Europe!

The Issue:
In the online server browser, my server displays the Iranian flag instead of the correct German one.

The server is physically hosted in Nürnberg, Germany (Hetzner).
If I check it with some IP tools, it shows the correct location. Only in STK it shows the wrong one.

• Server Name: Bitflips STK Server DE|SE|CH (private)
  
• Public IP: 91.98.127.215
  
• Server Version: 1.5
  

It's about the oldCar again

The library object has interaction set to ghost. If I use it, I can't edit its SuperTuxKart properties, because it's a library object. But it looks like there are custom properties that mirror the STK ones. But setting the interaction and shape custom properties to static and box respectively does nothing - the oldCar is still a ghost. What am I doing wrong?

I wanted to add the vehicles/oldCar library model to the Ravenbridge Mansion track and animate it
so that it slowly drives along a section of the road. But somehow, the model never appears in the game.

I suspect it has to do with the fact that it's a library object, because when I animated one of the graves
that were not library objects but simple models unique to the Ravenbridge Mansion track, it worked.

I then thought I'd append the oldCar from the library instead of linking it but it links it even whem I do
File > Append (which I googled that it may have to do with the oldCar.blend linking some other stuff).

So, is there a way to take the oldCar and make it drive on the road of the Ravenbridge Mansion?

I use Blender 2.79.

I appreciate all helpful advice!

EDIT: I looked at the Las Dunas Arena .blend file and it animates the blimp from the library!
I don't see what they are doing different than me. Any ideas?

Hello my dear Tuxers,

Me and a friend of mine would like to suggest new skidding-mechanics to maybe enhance the fun:

- Three skidding stages (maybe yellow, red, purple)
- Being able to jump straight by pressing the skid button without steering
- Being able to jump over gum and small patches of off-road
- No delay when skidding into the opposite direction than before, even after getting a skid-bonus
- Higher steering angles award the skid bonus sooner

These are just a few ideas! Some of them may be more diffecult to implement than others.
What do you guys think in terms of the added fun / difficulty of implementing?

With speedy greetings,
DRS

I tried to edit a standard track in Blender but I don't see any textures.  Switching viewport shading mode to material preview or render preview doesn't help. I tried several standard tracks but it looks the same - everything is gray.
It's the same with library objects (the tvVan, etc.)- they're gray regardless of the shading mode.
I did install the Stk Blender scripts.
What am I missing?

EDIT: Everything stayed gray even after exporting the track and playing it in STK.

Well, as you must know, some players plays well in PC and Mobile (me, FabianF, GeorgeCabillur, etc), even Fabian played ij ranked with two ranked accounts in 2020/21 (I guess): FabianF and MobileFabianF, but both accounts are given points punishments, cuz a hidden(?) rule: "It's forbidden of play ranked with more than a account".
I guess this rule is very stupid in case of "multicontroller" players, because the level of hability of playing in Mobils is higher (without speedometer, hard controls, etc, etc), so I guess this rule can be removed in case of the player uses a account that suggests that this guy is in Mobile (like MobileCream (MOBILE) and CreamBR (PC)).

Hello.

I'm having trouble finding information about the server setup.  I did follow the guide on Github and was able to get it installed on Debian 13.

This is running in a VM I gave it 4 cores @ 2.6Ghz and 4G of ram.  

Install seems to work fine.  Local play is solid. WAN is not.  I forwarded TCP/UDP to 2757 - 2759.  

When I try to from outside the LAN (Hotspot) I can see the attempt on the server but it times out.  

I have double checked that iptables and UFW are not installed PFSense is the only firewall 

I've been back and forth through the config and even forced the port to 2759.  I show it used that at launch.  

It shows up in the server list 

Stuck.  Please help
