SuperTuxKart 0.7.2 RC1 has been released

[Crendgrim]

And which version is the one you used? Or did you modify it?

curl-7.21.6.tar.gz (curl.haxx.se)

and

curl (7.21.0-1ubuntu1)

No, I didn't modify it.

Thanks hollidrio, we'll see what we can do about this. Unforutnately there seems to be a bug in ubuntu's curl

I remember that Arthur had a similar problem, and that it was caused by using the gnutls version of libcurl(?) Arthur, can you supply the missing details?

But it would certainly be worth trying to use a different libcurl library.

Cheers,
Joerg

On my brother's computer with Ubuntu 10.10, switching from/to gnutls/openssl version of libcurl didn't help, even with clean builds. But if my memory doesn't deceive me, it did help on my own computer in 11.04. I can check that, if you wish.

Yes, that's very kind of you

Hi,

for all the people with problems using the addons manager: could you check if the directory ~/.local/share/supertuxkart exists, and if not, create this directory? I am fixing this (and also add proper error handling) now.

Thanks!
Joerg

[code-breaker]

The directory did not exist. But when I created it, all the seg faults went away.

[hollidrio]

Same here. No more segfaults with stk-news enabled after creating ~/.local/share/supertuxkart/

[hiker]

Thanks for the feedback. The bug is already fixed in trunk. But I am also going to avoid this crash and handle the error properly - gee, two bad things at the same time

Cheers,
Joerg

Hiker, are you contemplating an RC2 version?

[STKRudy85]

I don't know where I can talk about this problem, so I write few words here :

When you play with a friend screen is splited but view too, it isn't easy to anticipate trajectory because of the lack of visibility

Can view be resized ?

[Auria]

asciimonster: definitely, we will most likely make a RC2 soon

How would you want it resized?? We can't use more space than is available on screen

[Funto]

Maybe Rudy meant increasing the viewing angle?

[Monstertux]

Alright folks... sorry. We found a bug in the add-ons. The add-ons menu will not work the first time you open STK, and you may get a crash on exit. Normally you will get the add-ons mmenu correctly on the second launch though

So THAT was it. I thought it was a problem with my Azul skin! >^>

I suspect that this is an irrlicht bug.

Can you try to manually unzip the file:

Manually unzip works

[STKRudy85]

it's right this is what I want to mean

[Auria]

Increasing the view angle might result in weird-looking results, because as you increase the view angle the objects are more and more distorted, so I'm not convinced

Xeno, I think you want to post that on the tracker, not on the forum; best to keep it all in one place

Joerg, could you add the following libs to the windows package?

libssl32.dll
libeay32.dll
libcurl.dll

curl-7.21.6-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip Win32 2000/XP

but I would be happy if someone with a windows 2000 system could supply a version of libcurl that works.

Cheers,
Joerg

It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joerg, thank you so much

You need following package from curl.haxx.se:

curl-7.21.6-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip Win32 2000/XP

Copy following libraries in the folder SuperTuxKart:

libssl32.dll
libeay32.dll
libcurl.dll

Screenshot STK 0.7.2 rc1 on Windows 2000 SP4:

Hi,

Joerg, could you add the following libs to the windows package?

libssl32.dll
libeay32.dll
libcurl.dll

curl-7.21.6-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip Win32 2000/XP

that was already my plan, and I tried today, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried:

• Just replacing the libs (--> failed to initialise properly) - not surprising since the libs you linked were 7.21.6, while stk was compiled with 7.21.0
• I tried using the 7.21.0 package, but with the same results (again not entirely surprising since the compile options are likely different)
• I could not find a development package (i.e. one that includes the .h files, the .lib, and the dll files) for 7.21* - they only contained the .dll files, which I then can't link (I copied the include files from the 7.21.6 source package).

Did you just replace the dll on Windows 2000? And do those libs work on xp/vista as well for you?

Cheers,
Joerg

Yes, I did replace the dlls on Windows 2000 I don't know if those libs work on XP/Vista.

What do you think about a separate Win2000 package?

Thanks a lot,

New version not listed under playdeb. Do you STK folks have a contact with them, or should I try myself? I find it easier to get most of my games from there. Also, for some reason after downloading the STK 0.7.1b in Kubuntu there is no kart-engine noise. You can hear the bumps and sharp turn, but no engine noise.

this is a RC, not a stable release, so it's expected not to be found widely. The stable release, to come in a few weeks, should be more widely available

[xeno74]

A Win2000 setup package is available:

SuperTuxKart-0.7.2-rc1-Win2000-Setup.exe.zip

It works on my Win 2000 and XP computer

This package is for Win 2000 SP4, XP without SP, and XP SP1 systems.

Hi, I have problem running STK with my snes-controller because when I bind the turning to the d-pad it keeps turning even if I let go of the d-pad, it works fine if I bind it to the L and R buttons to turn, it seems that STK interprets the d-pad as an analog d-pad.

My system is Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 and found this in supertuxkart-0.7.2-rc1-linux-glibc2.12-x86-64.

STK is fun to play nevertheless
