I just installed the game and I wanted to play my favourite GP with my favourite kart, but I can't.

When choosing my kart, it says: "Locked: solve active challenges to gain access to more!" What challenges? I know all the tracks well and I don't want to play all of them right now. Why should I? I play this game for years, I already solved all the challenges million times before and I just want to play my game.

When choosing a difficulty, I want the highest, because it's the only options for me that makes me lose at least sometimes. You know what? I CAN'T, BECAUSE IT'S LOCKED! No explanation WHY.

So when I choose the lower difficulty, half the tracks are LOCKED - "solve active challenges to gain access to more". Thank you VERY MUCH for not allowing me to play half of the tracks just because... WHY?

I wanted to play my favourite GP. But I can't because ALL GPs ARE LOCKED WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION.

PLEASE REMOVE ALL THE LOCKS FROM THE GAME! I know you spent lot of time developing the STORY MODE, but what you do with the locks is just pissing off the people who really like your game.

You can edit a configuration file to say everything's been unlocked. It's been asked before and even duckduckgo.com knows the answer!
On Linux, edit /home/USERNAME/.config/supertuxkart/challenges.xml and change ALL the "false" values into "true".
The file is somewhere else on Windows but it won't be far either.

I think some of the tracks and GPs should still be locked since new players will be encouraged to actually complete the game and experienced players can just edit a configuration file to unlock all of the tracks.

Though STK's story mode sucks and I wouldn't mind it being removed in 2.0.

I like the story mode (minus the long-winded animations). It makes you try some hard stuff and learn new skills. For me, some of the nitro collection challenges were really difficult and I really had to learn to drive better to beat them.

Sure, STK could go the easy way and put in an official cheat menu. That would be more accessible of course. But what if just for one kid that has to mess around in the config files, discovering not only how to play the game, but what's actually part of the game mechanics... might that make a computer expert one day?

Maybe we will see a rebirth of old-school cheat codes again.

Same problem here.

There's no such file under Linux.

Here's what I have:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

$ cd ~/.config/supertuxkart/
$ find .
.
./config-0.10
./config-0.10/server_config.xml
./config-0.10/1.png
./config-0.10/input.xml
./config-0.10/config.xml
./config-0.10/highscore.xml
./config-0.10/players.xml
./config-0.10/stdout.log
$


Any ideas? There's a

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

<unlock_everything value="0" />

line in config.xml.

Thanks,

Maybe it's a different version of SuperTuxKart. But anyway, try changing that 0 to 1, that is, make that line

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

<unlock_everything value="1" />

Hope it works!
