Hi all! Here's another track.
Beam Runner
(SuperTuxKart 3000 unofficial release)
One of the most wonderful parts of SuperTuxKart is the open-source community which has created it. I think it is beautiful how people are willing to release their creations into the public with little or no restrictions.
With this in mind, I decided to look through BlendSwap to see if anyone had created an entire game map I could port to SuperTuxKart. I eventually found "Beam Runner City" by turnpike101 (aka. EqualOpposite). This city already has a track running through it! For the past couple of days, I have copied, modified and/or recreated parts of this city to make it into a SuperTuxKart add-on.
Essentially, Patrick designed a cool SuperTuxKart track in 2012 and he doesn't even know it yet. Nice work, Patrick
A video is worth a thousand pictures, so here is a three lap race on the track. My apologies for the video compression.

Here is the download link: https://files.catbox.moe/qg6dhl.zip although it can now be found (with source) in the add-ons list.
There are a couple of small changes that need to be made before adding this to the add-on site (such as adding STK advertisements onto buildings, adding other decorations and stopping the grey grates from catching the kart) however overall I am happy with how it has turned out. Feedback is welcome.
Once again, thank you to turnpike101 for releasing this track under a CC license.
DISCLAIMER: I do not know what the Japanese signs say.
--------
Current version: 1
Improvements for next version:
- Make karts reset if they fall off the edge of the track (it's possible)
- Add STK organizations' ads onto buildings to add more cyberpunk color, as seen in the original (Is this a good idea? Y/N?)
