Information

Frankfurt servers use modified 1.1 version of STK (source code can be found here but the running version may differ a bit because of ongoing feature test). In particular, this means one can use server commands. Frankfurt servers use commands widely to introduce new functionality.

Commands

To use commands, you need to upgrade to STK 1.1 using the link or installing STK from github. If you want to tell someone about the command, you can insert a space before it, so it doesn't get interpreted (like "_/command").

Standard commands

These are available on any 1.1 server.

• /music volume - change the music volume, volume can be between 0 and 10.
• /kick username - kick a player. Requires you to be server host (marked with a crown 👑 in the server lobby, there can be no host). You can do this with user interface, though.
• /installaddon addon_id - installs an add-on addon_id from STK official site. Note that addon_id is not add-on's name.
• /installaddon http(s)://any_link.zip - installs add-ons available on the Web in some zip archive. Be careful with those as they are not official, and archives can contain literally anything.
• /uninstalladdon addon_id - uninstalls add-on by id.
• /liststkaddon [option] string /listlocaladdon [option] string /listserveraddon [option] string - search add-ons in STK official site, locally or on a current server by a string that is a prefix of its id (which is still not name). Option can be either empty or -track, -arena, or -kart which means searching among certain add-ons category.
• /playerhasaddon addon_id username - check whether a player has a certain add-on.
• /serverhasaddon addon_id - check whether this server has a certain add-on.
• /playeraddonscore username - print the percentage of server add-ons that are installed for a certain player, by category. This can, for example, help determining who has no add-ons.

• /commands - display all usable commands on this server.
• /to username_1 username_2 ... username_n - sends all your subsequent messages on this server only to specified users. This setting keeps even if you re-enter the server later.
• /teamchat - only usable in team based gamemodes, sends all your subsequent messages on this server only to all other players of your team. This setting keeps even if you re-enter the server later.
• /public - resets all /to modifiers, now everyone present receive your messages.
• /gnu [kart_name] - starts Gnu Elimination
• /nognu - cancels the current Gnu Elimination.
• /standings - displays Gnu Elimination or Grand Prix standings.
• /record track_id (normal|time-trial) (normal|reverse) laps - display the Frankfurt servers' record for a specified track, mode, direction and number of laps. Refer to Records section for details.

Records

All racing servers together store the records of the tracks that are dependent on track, mode, direction, and number of laps. If a player beats the record, he gets notified.

Also you can see the current track records using the /record command or visiting https://stk.kimden.online/records.

Technical details

You can connect to servers via entering server addresses. This means you don't need a STK online account to play, though in this case you won't be shown in the list of players inside the STK app in server choosing menu.

Server addresses for the respective servers are currently:

• 1.kimden.online for Frankfurt One;
• 2.kimden.online for Frankfurt Two;
• soccer.kimden.online for Frankfurt Soccer.

All other servers are not always opened, so this may differ.
