How-to download all addons

[supernestor]

Hi,

Thank your for this excellent game !
I'd like to extend it via the addons but downloading theme one by one is annoying...
So, where could I find all the addons (karts, arenas, tracks) available in one click (or wget) ? Where should I put them in my Ubuntu repertories ?

Thanks for your help !

Hey mate, though I'd suggest pitching this post to the STK forums? We don't have many Karts in supertux

Hey, we are NOT SuperTuxKart.
Maybe you wanted to post it there: viewforum.php?f=16

Hi,

at this time I'm afraid there is no way of downloading all addons. In any case, this is probably not a good idea as installing too many addons may make the game slow (especially kart addons, tracks much less so).

Hi Hume and Dugglez,
Sorry for the mistake ! Well, Supertux could be fun with a kart, especially for speedrun ;-D

Hi Auria,
Thank you for your answer. Why would the game be so slower ?
Could you tell me where are located addons on my computer, so I can copy/paste on another computer and keep the same addons ?

No problem, I'd also like to apologise for Hume's somewhat aggressive behaviour. Karts in supertux? That would be strange, and as for in a speedrun, I'm sure MCMic would make some regulations about the use of karts.

Because it has to load a lot more resources. You don't have to worry if your computer is usually fast.

Could you tell me where are located addons on my computer, so I can copy/paste on another computer and keep the same addons ?

Sure
Copy the following "Addons" folder, from following location to the same location on your second computer.

On Windows: It is in %APPDATA%/supertuxkart/ (you can enter that in the Explorer and it will take you there)
On Linux: Either in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/supertuxkart/ (first choice), ~/.config/supertuxkart/ (second choice) or in ~/.supertuxkart/ (third choice).
On Mac OS X: It is in ~/Library/Application Support/supertuxkart/. Note that this directory may be hidden.

Hi XGhost,

Thank you a lot for your response.

I looked in ~/.config/supertuxkart/ ; then I opened stdout.log where I read :

Addons files will be stored in '/home/etn/.local/share/supertuxkart/addons/'.

So, here it is in Ubuntu 16.04 (which is the OS i'm currently using).

Regards,
