Hi! I recently downloaded SuperTuxKart 0.7.1b onto my new computer (Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard).
But as soon as I started on the challenges, I noticed something really queer - the textures/images on Oliver's Math Class are all gone. Completely.

Aand so are some of the trees on Amazonian Journey:


What is causing this loss?

Hi,

this is weird. Could you run STK from terminal? (if you've never done this before: right-click on STK, select "Show Package Contents", open Contents, open MacOS, double-click on the executable there) and please post back anything it says

Certainly.
This is the result -

Uh.. I tried to open "lava.png in the location stated and Finder gives me " you do not have permission to open this file, contact your system administrator for more info.".
My account has full administrator acess to my computer. What's going on?

In addition, any item I use (except for Nitro, Zipper and the Switcher) on Oliver's Math Class disappears a few seconds after deployment, never to be seen again.
The look backwards action does not work either, as it just puts the camera closer to the back of the kart.

EDIT: I cannot open "palmtree.png" in the textures folder either. That must be the cause of the missing tree texture, but I do not get why "lava.png" prevents a whole ton of other textures from malfuctioning...

Wow I can't believe you're the first to point this out. There are indeed permission issues in the package I think this is because by default the first account of all computers has the same user ID so I guess most people work from their first account, which has the same UID as me, so few people had this issue.

For now, just select STK, open the "Get Info" dialog, and in the bottom section where permissions are (See http://www.jaanuskase.com/en/osx_permissions.png ), set "Read and write" to everyone (you may need to unlock the little lock first), then click on the "tool" button at the bottom and apply the change recursively. Then you should be able to see everything

Sorry for this silly mistake, I'll make sure that this does not find its way into the next release

Ah! Awesome.
If anything still is amiss when I change permissions I'll let you know, but it of course should be fine.
Glad to be of help here
