SuperTuxKart 0.8 Alpha Release

[Hero]

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3578 for more about skidding ideas.

This is a free game. And it's not a free clone of MK either.

Hello,

I have build the last revision (changeset 12010) and I've tried the new smoothened Old Mine track.
I found myself bounced up to the ceiling when passing on the connection between the road and the bridge crossing over the track at high speed (see the screenshots).
Is it normal or should it be labelled as a bug?

- Bug: translation (French): "9 point" -> "9 points" (for the number of points which was displayed after we win a trophy in history mode)

Would it be possible to implement something that would take the S off the end of the 1 laps? It's a major grammar problem and I don't really like seeing it. Remember it goes 0 tracks, 1 track, 3 tracks.

Maybe in future releases gettext's plural definitions could be used for this kind of string?

And a minor cosmetic issue: Uppercase accented letters revert to lowercase with one of the fonts.

You press V and it jumps

We have taken jumping out, since it allows (at least at this stage) to end up in many places where karts are not supposed to drive

If you drift to the left or right and keep holding the left or right arrow, the drift will gain power faster
If you drift to the left or right and no key is holding, your drift just gain power medium speed
If you drift to the left or right and press the oposite key, like drifting to the right, i hold left arrow, the drift power will gain slow

At this stage you can change the steering this way, but I am not sure if this adds a lot to the game. Mostly you will use less turning (no key or opposite key) on very wide turns, which are long anyway. Main issue is that we are too close to a release to change this now, even if I would be sure that it's a good idea

Cheers,
Joerg

I also noticed that in the intro cutscene, there is a mesh overlap when the "mouth" of the ship closes.

Also, when GNU drops the flute, it disappears through the ground.

The "jump" in mines is certainly not intended, but we are not fully done yet smoothing tracks, this should hopefully disappear by itself

GunChleoc: yeah there are minor issues in the intro scene. I'm not sure we will fix them for this release but there is certainly room for improvement in the next releases

maybe not exactly the pourpose of this thread, but here are the island and jungle tracks fixed for bug #779 ( just a note: I added transparence.png to island to reset the karts when they cheated. I also updated to license file.)

[Auria]

Thanks ctdabomb, commited!

HI all I re-exported some of the tracks for bug #776. here is the list:
Done:
farm
jungle
mathclass
mines
sandtrack
star
subsea2 - you might want to check this one....

Can't/didn't do:
islandtrack - too small
zengarden - too small
snowtuxpeak2 - too small
green-valley - I think that this is too small
lighthouse - my .blend is weird. it has no driveline, and svn up skips it.
hacienda - images don't show up in .blend . I decided not to do it because of that......
xr591 - same reason as hacienda
mansion - .blend crashes. I think that this is too small anyway.
scotland - .blend crashes
snowmountain - exporter crashes though this track can have 3 karts at start.

already done:
city
fortmagma
minigolf

[Auria]

Thanks, I committed them

[ctdabomb]

here is a fix for bug #814

[Auria]

Committed in SVN, thanks a lot!

[ctdabomb]

Scotland and Mansion have been re-exported to have 3 karts

lighthouse, hacienda, xr591, snowmountain are the tracks ones left.

[Auria]

I think you uploaded the wrong file, you uploaded math class!

[ctdabomb]

Wow. Sorry, that makes me feel stupid. Here is a correct version.

[Auria]

thanks, applied!
