Today, after more than one year of continuous hard work, we are ready to share with you the last big update before going on Steam, SuperTuxKart 0.9.3-rc1 dubbed the "Halloween Update".

Main features:
1. For the first time android version of STK
2. Reduced RAM and VRAM usage
3. New mesh format optimized for space and hardware skinning
4. 4 new karts (Wilber + Kiki + Hexley + Konqi (updated model to KDE 5 design)) and 3 new tracks (Candela City + Las Dunas Arena + Cornfield Crossing)
5. Kart GFX improvements (exhaust and headlight)
6. In-game video recorder

For the gift package for donators, we will have 1 track (updated halloween-themed Ravenbridge Mansion) and 2 arenas (Pumpkin's park and Alien Signal)

The release candidate can be downloaded here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/supertuxkart/files/SuperTuxKart/0.9.3-rc1/

Please don't hesitate to give us feedback / any issues found.

It's very good job for this release candidate. I love all improvements..... or almost, i prefer my old Konqi (it's my favorite kart ^^) than this new konqi.


For the moment, i have see, just one problem on the track : "Ravenbridge Mansion"; When i fallen, the kart don't rescue




It's very very good Job, Thanks you so much for this release candidate

PS : For the futur, improve they karts : Beasties & Puffy
I wait the upload of old kart on addons (Wilber, Konqi, Hexley & Elephant ^^)^^

congrats all the team supertuxkart for the well done job, definitely much better than the 0.9.2 version, but i have a little problem with mapping the controller xbox 360, when i tried to mapping the buttons instead of mapping the especific buttos its end mapping another.

I've just tested it, it is definitely superb! Everything works like a charm. Congratulations for the great work!

Great thanks for this wonderfull game!
One Question: Since Ubuntu updated via ppa to 0.9.3-RC there no longer are visuals for the drift and the use of Nitro. The sound is still there but not the grafic effect.
Is this on purpose or a bug?

Check your graphical options in the options menu, maybe particles are disabled?

Thank you, this solved it.
Some Grafic options in my custom Settings were changed by the update.
Now everything is very fine

I found an issue: If you create an random grand Prix, you are not able to save the grand Prix or finish the grand Prix later.
Would be nice if this could be fixed.

Thank you for the game and now also for the android release.

I can see that the android release requires android 4.4 (or above). Unfortunately, I have a device running android 4.3 without option to upgrade. I believe it is powerful enough to run SuperTuxCart. It is HP SlateBook 10 x2 PC, with Processor NVIDIA T40S 1.8-GHz processor (4-plus-1, quad), Chipset NVIDIA Tegra 4, ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore, 2 GB RAM, FullHD 10" display, detachable physical keyboard. We are primarily running the game on Windows PC. We would be happy if we can take it with us on our tablet pc.

Would it be please possible to install and run it on this 4.3 device? I would not complain if anything appears to be problematic.

I can't wait to try!

However, I must admit that Wilber looks weird...

Are you able to compile it yourself? Current version compiles fine for Android 4.3. You only need to change these lines in make.sh:

export NDK_PLATFORM_ARMV7=android-19
export SDK_VERSION_ARMV7=19

to

export NDK_PLATFORM_ARMV7=android-18
export SDK_VERSION_ARMV7=18

Or I can provide unofficial builds for android >= 4.0 after final release, because I need it for my phone anyway. Actually the modifications are available here if someone needs it: https://github.com/deveee/stk-code/tree/android-4.2

I would try but it would need some study and testing as I have no experience with this at all. So I would rather take your unofficial build when you compile it. Thank you. I suppose you mean final 0.9.3 (not final 1.0, that would push me to try to compile it myself).
I already briefly tested the android release on low-end phone (lg k8) and it was running pretty well with graphics details at level 2. Level 3 is unsable on this device. I am curious if I would be able to control it by the physical keyboard on the android tablet.

Very good work. The gameplay and graphical improvements are enormous. I am impressed . One note for the vegetation shader: The idea to move the vertices at random is really cool for most plants and trees, but with flags and some smaller plants it looks very strange.



If this is easy to do, it would be cool to have two options for exporting: random (the new vegetation shader) or linear (the old vegetation shader).
Greetings.

i had to disabling the pipeline in the options graphics, it's to heavy for my graphic card to do the job including in the lowest resolution, it's lower a lot the fps, without the pipeline, the fps stay stays stable in 60 fps and more in 1080p.

Ready It's good

Good job on this version . I kinda stopped looking at the project because my previous computer was crap and I wasn't able to run the latest versions of the game.

I'm glad people are still working hard on it. I may contribute again in the future.

Welcome back, Totoplus62!
The game runs easily, but is there a recording mode? Where's this? I can't see one.

Use CTL+PRNTSCR.

Please see https://supertuxkart.net/Artist_Debug_Mode#In-game_Screen-recorder. There are other details you may be interested in.

Thanxs, but I think this doesn't apply to my OSs (Windows 8 and Android Jelly Bean).

Actually on Windows everything should work except H.264 encoding. Sorry for the confusion, but the wiki has to cover all the platforms.
