Waldlaubsaengernest
Waldlaubsaengernest is a German STK player who likes to play both normal racing and soccer. Apart from that he is also a software developer (C++ and Java) and ornithologist (with a special preference for leaf warblers / Laubsänger).
Career
Waldlaubsaengernest discovered SuperTuxKart in 2011, when he missed its predecessor SuperTux, which was installed by default on Linux Suse. At that time the 0.7 was the latest version. In 2015 he created the first online account, which he still plays today. In 2019 Waldlaubsaengernest was added, which has since become the main account at a friend's desire. It is considered likely that there is a third account too, which has been kept secret until now.
For normal races Waldlaubsaengernest prefers the tracks "Old Mine", "Snow peaks" and "Minigolf" as well as the karts "Gavroche", "Pidgin" and "Tux". For the addons the preferred tracks are "Tux Tollway", "Rhomboor", "China", "myOLDtrack" and "Xtreme-Track", the preferred karts are "Mr. Iceblock", "Ubuntu" and "VLC".
For soccer, Waldlaubsaengernest prefers the fields "Icy Soccer Field", "Forest" and "Vivid Vacuum" as well as the karts "Wilber", "Tux" and "Mr. Iceblock". He enjoys playing the role of defender or goalkeeper in soccer.
Development / Organization
Together with TheRocker, Waldlaubsaengernest adapted kimden's STK code for the organization of TheRocker's customized tournaments. Here a list of some new features:
- /setfield [soccer_field_id] Setting up the next played soccer field. Players who doesn't have it installed become spectators.
- /settrack [[track_name_id] Setting up the next played track. Players who doesn't have it installed become spectators.
- /mode {time, normal, soccer-time, soccer-goal} Changing the server mode. Sounds trivial, but for owner-less servers there is no built-in way to change the mode.
- Live-join with addon karts This feature was disabled by STK for no reason.
Waldlaubsaengernest took over the organization for the two July 2020 tournaments for the last remaining games.
