SuperTuxKart Server Setup Guide

Available in: ESPAÑOL

This guide covers how to set up your SuperTuxKart dedicated server on Legion Hosting, configure game modes, and connect players. SuperTuxKart is a free, open-source kart racing game featuring multiple game modes, tracks, and characters. For admin commands, server management, and advanced configuration, see SuperTuxKart Admin and Commands Guide.

What is SuperTuxKart? SuperTuxKart is a free, open-source 3D kart racing game. It features multiple characters, tracks, game modes (racing, time trial, battle, soccer, follow the leader, capture the flag), and supports online multiplayer with up to 24 players.

1. First Start

  1. Log in to GPanel and select your SuperTuxKart server.
  2. Go to the Startup tab and configure the variables (see the table in Section 2).
  3. Set SERVER_NAME to your desired server name.
  4. Choose a MODE and DIFFICULTY for your server.
  5. Return to the Console tab and click Start.
  6. Wait for the console to display Available command: indicating the server is ready.
First start generates config.xml. The config.xml configuration file is created on first launch with default settings. You can customize it after the first start for advanced options.

2. GPanel Startup Variables

The following variables are available in the GPanel Startup tab.

Variable Default Description
SERVER_NAME Pterodactyl_Server Server name shown in the server browser (max 50 characters).
CONFIG_NAME config.xml Name of the server configuration XML file.
MODE 0 Game mode (see table below).
DIFFICULTY 0 AI difficulty and kart speed (see table below).
MAX_PLAYERS 8 Maximum number of players (1-24).
MOTD (empty) Message of the Day displayed in the server (max 100 characters).

3. Game Modes

Set the MODE startup variable to one of the following values:

Value Mode Description
0 Normal Race Standard racing with items and powerups.
1 Time Trial Race for the best lap time without items.
2 Battle Arena combat using items. Last kart standing wins.
3 Soccer Drive karts to push a ball into the opponent's goal.
4 Follow the Leader Follow the designated leader kart. Last place is eliminated each round.
5 Capture the Flag Team-based CTF where karts capture the enemy flag.

4. Difficulty Levels

Set the DIFFICULTY startup variable to one of the following values:

Value Difficulty Description
0 Beginner Slowest kart speed, easiest AI opponents.
1 Intermediate Moderate kart speed and AI difficulty.
2 Expert Fast karts with challenging AI.
3 SuperTux Maximum speed and toughest AI opponents.

5. How Players Connect

  1. Launch SuperTuxKart.
  2. From the main menu, select Online and then Global Networking.
  3. Browse the server list to find your server by name.
  4. Alternatively, use the Enter server address option and enter the IP and port from GPanel's Network tab.
  5. Select your kart and join the game.
Ports are randomly assigned unless you have a private IP. Check the Network tab in GPanel for your server's actual IP and port. See How to Find Your Server IP and Port for details.

6. Server Configuration (config.xml)

The main configuration file is:

config.xml

This XML file contains advanced server settings beyond what the startup variables control. Edit it through the GPanel Files tab or via SFTP.

Always stop the server before editing config.xml. The server reads this file on startup. Changes made while running will not take effect until the next restart.
