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.
Something like that could be done for vanilla STK servers, yes (as mentioned above some servers using custom code already have similar requirements, although usually it's in number of addons and not about specific addons).
It's reasonable to want some servers to offer players the possibility to play addons without some random new user coming in having no addon installed and making that option go away.
On the other hand, if a server require 200 addons for people to join, it probably shouldn't show up at the top of the list or be where users using the quick play option are directed to.

I am also interested in such feature. I have found some information regarding the installation of Add-Ons via the network at the end of this Website. https://supertuxkart.net/Installing_Add-Ons
Yet I was unable to understand how exactly it works. I am also unsure if I might misinterpret what it means.
On the website it states 'Additionally, /installaddon and /uninstalladdon can be used in networking lobby to install or uninstall Add-ons.'. On my linux installation (~/.local/share/supertuxkart/) those folders don't exist. I am unsure where to create them and if they are supposed to install Add-ons on other clients aswell. I tried setting them up in the addons folder and copying some of my installed Add-ons in that folder. Yet nothing has been installed on the other ends of my friends.
Am I missing something? Is it not well enough explained? Or does the feature not work?
Would greatly appreciate some help or a clue where I could find more information as I'm new to SuperTuxKart.
/installaddon and /uninstalladdon are not folders, they are server commands meant to be typed in the chat of a server lobby.
