SuperTuxKart 0.7 released

[Kevrox]

ok here is an interesting one
I can run the same controller on Natty in my T101mt Netbook.
The controller works but the main rig I have is running on Lucid 10.04. This is the version I am having the trouble with.
Extremetuxracer works with the same controller.
oh well....

So, does it work on another computer with SuperTuxKart?
Try running 'supertuxkart --gamepad-visualisation' on the troublesome computer, use some buttons/pads and post the output here (if any).

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! on the GameCube was better than this. And that game was released 2003, on a hardware platform from late 2001. Honestly, why would someone want to play Super Tux Kart? Because it's free?

Ok net book tester is running Natty and it works
Main PC running Lucid is the one having trouble. Please clarify the Supertuxkart --gamepad-virtualisation option, is this a third party install or within the game itself?

If you have 0.7.1, the --gamepad-visualisation flag is included by default.

Great! Downloaded the i386 binary and it runs fine. Good to be back at STK. Is it just me or is the new track "Zen Garden" pretty hard?

[Arthur_D]

It's a bit tricky yeah - lots of bananas, and the bridge is narrow with a nasty jump, but practice makes perfect, as always.
