The developers plan to get a Release Candidate out 'very soon', which you can test as if it was the final release, since it will be pretty close to that. We hope you will find them fun, and all constructive feedback is welcome. The Grands Prix and challenges have been reworked in order to comply better with STK's current state.

You are welcome to test and give feedback in the relevant thread. This is because the current SVN version is incompatible with alpha3 exporters.Īsciimonster has made a new browser for track-wide properties and materials, which will probably be the best way to keep track (no pun intended) of all the different properties you can apply. Same goes for kart makers, if you replace 'track exporter' with 'kart exporter'.

Track makers should be aware that you are currently strongly recommended to use the latest SVN versions of the tracks, b3d exporter and track exporter scripts when making changes or a new track. This will ensure that 0.7 won't raise the hardware requirements over 0.6 (it will be enabled by default though).īut the big news is the new 'Scotland' track made by Canis Lupus. Steep slopes are now impossible to drive on due to a new 'height-aware' threshold on friction.Īlso, the speed values for difficulties have been tweaked slightly, so overall the gameplay should feel a bit faster now.įurthermore, it's now possible to disable animated karts, and/or animated effects and scenery. changes, such as updated textures, new music, lots and lots of bugfixes, minor features for track and karts exporters, small track improvements, etc. I will not say anything if you do other things with it though, but you will need to build SuperTuxKart in debug mode to get this feature. Remember, this is 'strictly' (sure, sure Auria) for debugging purposes only, and as such it will not be possible in release mode.

It's been over a month already since last blog post? How time flies! And you can too! Proof: So if you haven't already, grab it, test and leave your feedback. įeedback as always is welcome - be it here, or bugs in our tracker If you want to help out with translations have a look at our wiki page: we are basically using launchpad, details are at. The one thing missing are translations - since we added strings even in the last week, the translations are not up-to-date yet. should all work now (though there is still a debug icon in the menu, which will be removed before the final release :oops: ).

The changes compared to 0.6.2a are too numerous to list, main points would be: Keep in mind that they need as many details as possible, so please include in your report system info, where it happened, if it´s reproducible, and backtrace if you have one.Īs many of the most avid STK followers already know by now, SuperTuxKart RC1 has just been released:Īfter a burst of changes and fixes in the last few days we have finally released a first release candidate for 0.7: This way, our dear developers will ensure that it gets prioritized and hopefully fixed before 0.7. Please report your findings in STK´s bug tracker, and mark them as high priority if it´s a crash or similar show-stoppers. We encourage all translators to complete their translations, as the strings are now frozen.Ĭheers, Joerg and AuriaWell you know what to do: test it and comment on it like if it was the real deal - 0.7 is coming really soon now, possibly within the next week or so! And we need your help to find the odd little bits here and there that needs to be fixed. We also updated the translations, but not all translations are complete yet.

Some tracks were improved to disable unintentional shortcuts and incorrect rescues.
