Now the karts are being cushioned from impact so there should be less issues with the chassis hitting the road, and karts adhere better to the road. Physics has been improved again, specifically in landing after jumps. Some performance improvements have been made for example we discovered a certain OpenAL call were slowing things down so we have minimized its usage and also moved sound to its own thread. The main configuration files now have their own sub-folder, so this means that in the future you can have several STK versions running simultaneously without getting issues where one version of the game overwrites another's configuration. In miscellaneous changes, there's been way too many to list them all, but I'll mention a few very quickly. Our artist samuncle has been hard at work indeed check out the improved versions of Adiumy, Sara and Xue, in the tracks Cocoa Temple and Gran Paradiso Island. You can watch the video at and download the "kart" here. The following video is an engine demo made by our resident artist samuncle. There have been many improvements to the new 3D engine we're using (less and less based on Irrlicht, and more and more custom), and while an image speaks a thousand words, a thousand images in the form of a video ought to be a whole essay. We still have about 100 open issues to either solve or postpone, so there's (more than) enough to do for everybody, and if you would like to try your hand at helping us we welcome you, especially if you have some programming or 3D modelling experience. So you should have something to download in December whether the final release will happen then or January is still left to circumstance (bugs, first and foremost). 0.9 is still quite far off, so we decided to try making a 0.8.2 release as soon as possible, hopefully a beta/release candidate within the year. To begin with it's probably best to answer the question of when the next release is coming. Bad excuse, and I will try to get back to a more regular schedule, so this post will try to catch up to what's happened the last couple months. *snort* *huff* oh, there you are! Sorry for the long hibernation in blog posts, but I became a bit too used to having GSoC students writing all of them. I've added a tiny example (which is way more fun when you actually play it), for everyone to get a taste of what scripting will bring! Feel free to pull the ScriptEngine branch at for even more fun examples! You can find the scripts under stk-code/data/scripts. I'm still hoping to do quite a bit of work post-GSoC on things like the weather, object behaviors and perhaps some unit testing as well. The API is pretty comprehensive at this point (You can find the API documentation at ), and I intend to broaden it further to allow more fun stuff to happen during races. In addition some miscellaneous classes have also been bound ( For example 3-D vectors ), to make life easier for anyone writing scripts. I've also added several different ways of triggering scripts, from action-triggers (Think bubbles that pop and run a script when you enter it) to collisions (between karts, items and track-objects). Right now, most of the different track elements you see like animations, static objects have had various properties exposed to the API. Most of my work went into refactoring existing code so as to expose that functionality to the API. With this in mind, I chose AngelScript as the language, due to a variety of reasons, chief among them the fact that it had good synergy with our existing code. The track follows other recent joint projects the award-winning megastar has worked on, including Post Malone’s “One Right Now”, Swedish House Mafia’s “Moth To A Flame” and Rosalía’s “La Fama”.The first part of my project was to come up with a good language and an intuitive and user-friendly scripting API. Meanwhile, The Weeknd has also shared another new collaboration this week, this time teaming up with FKA Twigs on “Tears In The Club”. I wanted her adoring fans to get a special gift before the holidays and felt it was the perfect time to release a never-before-heard offering.”Įarlier this year, Aaliyah’s back catalog was released on streaming services for the first time as part of a new partnership with the label EMPIRE. ![]() In a press release, Barry Hankerson, founder of Blackground Records, said: “I’m so excited to share this new song by Aaliyah and the very talented The Weeknd. The Weeknd responds with his thoughts on the chorus, singing: “ You’re so cold, I can see your breath, I swear/They told me not to fall in love/Wondering where it all went wrong/You were my poison all along.” ![]()
