Here's an Irish translation for stkaddons.

Also, "Authentification" should be "Authentication". This is part of the message that shows up if you don't login correctly.

Maybe I could start this but I need more detail. So, if you have some time to answer to these questions :
- What library do you want to use to download add-ons ? (I thought use ftp python library but include python seems to be very complicated on windows)

Certainly not ftp, we want one library which easily allows us to interact with a web server. With ftp we can only upload files (which means we have to handle concurrent uploads to make sure that we are not overwriting data). I don't have the time to look into libs right now, but I would prefer not to add to the dependencies of STK by adding python.

- It would be good if we could add add-ons in ~/.config/supertuxkart/data on linux (and in others directory for others sytem), how can I make that ?

STK (irrlicht version) already supports reading karts and tracks from different additional directories. So the new data files can be stored where the user config files are and read from there. Perhaps not an ideal situation (I'd say that the config files should be rather small directories, not potentially several 10's MB). We might also make this configurable, i.e. use the user config dir as a default, but users (and/or package maintainers) might define other directories to use (configure specifies --sharedstatedir for modifiable architecture-independent data in .../com - not that I have seen this used much ).

On linux system, stk can't be updated by a no-administrator user. So, I think it will works only on Windows and Mac OS X

As written above - that's already taken care of.

Cheers,
Joerg

I made some changes since my post yesterday, i hope you like it this time.
Remember it's just a presentation because i have no talents in php ... To see what it looks like go [url=http://]here[/url] again, the archive is downloadable here.

PS: I use Firefox on Linux i can't check if the website pass on IE, sorry windows users.

I didn't see your last post, sorry.
I like very much ! I will try to include this new design to the site. Maybe I will modify a little it before :
- include jquery to add effect for menu
- remove some add-ons type (There is no skin, music and sounds for add-ons)
- "sort by ...." unless I have time to include them in php code
- set a position for the background image because on my computer :

edit : And this theme is under GPL license ?

I use Linux too (but maybe I will test on windows) .

Thanks a lot, I am going to add this translation and fix the bug .

Thanks (but yekcim sent me some flags too ).

Certainly not ftp, we want one library which easily allows us to interact with a web server. With ftp we can only upload files (which means we have to handle concurrent uploads to make sure that we are not overwriting data).

Why ? With ftp we can easily download some file e.g. : ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/stkaddons/ you can't upload any files, only download.
I think ftp would be very good to download some add-ons. If we use another system we will have to find a server which accept this transfer.

No problem, modify it! i made it for that

And this theme is under GPL license ?

Of course, any licence you want, so GPL if you think it's the better choice.
I'm glad you like this test, if you want something else said me.


EDIT: I have just seen your sentence about interface

- remove some add-ons type (There is no skin, music and sounds for add-ons)

But any artists can make some parts of GUI (interface) and music packs no?
I mean if i want to make a duck sound for the cake explosion i can't propose it? ( In reality i'm not a music maker and i hate ducks)

You already have a web server, so we can use it for downloading (I thought I had mentioned that in my original post ... but I didn't - sorry). So not only don't we need another server, using http would (hopefully) mean that you don't have to make any changes to the site since we are just using the same as the web interface.

Using http also allows us to do other things - e.g. allow people to vote on tracks from within stk, which I think would be a really great feature (I seem to remember that you wanted to add voting to the site, right?). This would be really difficult with ftp.

One question re the version number you have for the karts/tracks: is this for the version that's used inside of stk, or a version number for the track/kart? It would be useful to have a version number for tracks/karts (perhaps call it revision to avoid using the name 'version' again), so that stk can detect when a kart/track was updated. But the internal STK version number is important, too, so that no add-ons are downloaded that won't work with the installed stk version (e.g. imagine that by stk 0.9 karts might not be compatible with 0.7 any more).

Wish I had more time to add this for 0.7 - atm my intention is to get 0.7 out asap (which will be a few weeks at least), and then add an add-on downloader to stk, in time for a potential 0.7.1 release.

If you make an add-ons, I will add music, skin or sounds but I can't let blank a category !

You are right, http would be better (I am stupid, I didn't think for the voting system ).
But I am not going to add a voting system soon, I haven't enough time .

One question re the version number you have for the karts/tracks: is this for the version that's used inside of stk, or a version number for the track/kart?

Yes, I am going to add a better revision system, there is already a version number but user can't change it .

Irish translation added

Update !
New flags :

Do you like them ?

hiker : What do you think about curl ? http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ It is cross platform.

[Auria]

the flags seem good to me.

libcurl is an obvious choice (and probably a very good one) for network communication. Unfortunately, it does introduce a new dependency. But I guess that if we want these features we will have no choice but add a dep of some kind

Ok, so maybe I will start to add package management to supertuxkart (but I am not very good at c++) .

Update !
- some documentation (in the code) and cleaning code
- new author property :
Property not empty :

rudy85, can you re-upload your screenshots (for new tracks) ?

[Auria]

great job with this, thanks

[rudy85]

I will send them in a few minutes

[asciimonster]

Nice of you to add an option "Submiter".

Unfortunately it's not "Submiter" but "Submitter"

P.S. When opening the single help item I get: "Fatal error: Class 'coreHelp' not found in /data/web/dd/05/2a/stkaddons.tuxfamily.org/htdocs/addon.php on line 58"

[rudy85]

The attachment Capture-SuperTuxKart Add-ons - Mozilla Firefox.png is no longer available

I've added the files I 've wanted to post
Named battlespace

[xapantu]

Unfortunately it's not "Submiter" but "Submitter"

I am going to fix that

Mmmm, I made some changes in the code and apparently there are some problems .

But I am going to remove help, and add a help category on the supertuxkart wiki , it will be easier.

[Dakal]

if someone is interrested by .xcf of the presentation i post them below. All parts are modified version of "bg.xcf".

if someone is interrested by .xcf of the presentation i post them below. All parts are modified version of "bg.xcf".

Thanks, I am going to add that to svn.

In-game menu !


I started to add an in-game menu :

If a developer of stk has time to answer to my questions :

How can I reduce grid's child ?
My pkg.stkgui :

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

<stkgui>
    <div x="5%" y="0" width="90%" height="98%" layout="vertical-row" >
        <header width="100%"
            I18N="Package screen"
            text="Package Screen"
            align="center" text_align="center" />

        <box proportion="2" height="10%" width="25%" layout="vertical-row">
            <ribbon_grid id="addons" proportion="1" square_items="true" width="100%" align="center"
                label_location="bottom" child_width="80" child_height="80"/>
            <button id="back" width="250" height="35" align="left"
                I18N="In the help menu, to return to the previous screen" text="Back"/>
        </box>
    </div>
</stkgui>

Is it correct ?

I use libcurl.
I added two new option in user config :

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

    <!-- Http for pkg management -->
    <http value="http://stkaddons.tuxfamily.org/xml/addonsXml.php" />

    <!-- Dir for package management -->
    <pkgsave value="/home/xapantu/data-stk" />

To get addons list I use curl to download this file : http://stkaddons.tuxfamily.org/xml/addonsXml.php (and icons) and irrXML to read it.

What do you think about that ?

[Auria]

Hey seems great!
To reduce children size, you should theorically be able to simply edit the child_width="80" child_height="80" attributes ( however it is not impossible that you discover bugs in the GUI system, this is rather young code )

I tried but when I edit this properties, children remain the same size

[Auria]

Ok, I think I may know why.
Can you open guiengine/widgets/DynamicRibbon.h (I suppose you have the source code of STK since you're adding a screen) and locate this line :

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

        DynamicRibbonWidget(const bool combo=false, const int max_rows=4);


the max_rows bit may be the culprit (it's there since I never envisionned a screen like you want to do); can you try increasing the maximum number of rows?
