Hello.

As you know STK 0.8 Alpha 1 has just been released. With 0.8 comes new track abilities or requirements. So now a new Track Maker's Guide on supertuxkart.sourceforge.net must be created.

This is not urgent. However there are probably multiple part time track makers who want to make for the new version. I am already getting to work on some updates to the track maker's guide so that a 0.8 version can be included but we may not want to have a direct link to the new guide until it is partly finished.

This might not be my job but I think it best to get a head start. Sorry if I should not do this.

New track requirements? Seems like there's a memo I missed...

Reverse mode compatibility etc.. But you're right I may have used the wrong word(s).

Hero making a good track guide is not so easy. In this case the better solution is just to update our wiki with the new requirements.

I also would like to write some articles about the process of creating a track but for the moment it's not a priority.

Updating the wiki could cause some confusion for those using 0.7.x. We still have the one for 7.2-/2.5- .

Also as we all know Blender 2.64 has been released.

We already need a slightly different export script do we not?

You will need a recent exporter for blender 2.64 yes, but the wiki page always links to the latest one I believe

Will the new exporter export 0.7.3 compatible stuff?

Hero {l Wrote}:Will the new exporter export 0.7.3 compatible stuff?

compatibility with 0.7 is not guaranteed at this point.

My point exactly.

We have no intention to maintain old scripts for old STK versions (and documentations for old scripts).

Cheers,
Joerg
