Racer Idea

Hello all.

I am a denizen of the Red Eclipse forum. Recently, I was fooling around with the RE player model and constructed a motorbike out of two of them. It was suggested to me that I submit this as a possible vehicle for SuperTux Kart. Would any of you be interested in piloting such a contraption?

Hahah, this looks awesome!

I don't know whether this will fit the theme of STK (probably not), but it would easily make the most spectacular add on kart out there :D

Bumping as it was I that suggested that John_III post his contraption here.

So, what do SuperTuxKart developers think about this? This is the player character from Red Eclipse, not a mascot, but I think it's close enough. :)

Also greetz from the Red Eclipse community. :)

I admit I can't see this racer become part of STK main distribution tbh, it just doesn't fit our style. But certainly feel free to submit it to our addons web page.

Generally bikes don't work too well with the current physics, but if we get more bikes in we might start to work on that (e.g. lean bikes in curves).

Cheers,
