Information

Frankfurt servers use a modified version of STK. The running version may differ a bit from the public source code because of ongoing feature tests. In particular, this means one can use server commands. Frankfurt servers use commands widely to introduce new functionality.

Commands

Standard commands

See Commands.

Frankfurt-only commands

  • /help - display server help.
  • /commands - display all usable commands on this server. Can be outdated.
  • /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.

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.

You can see the current track records using the /record command or visiting the records page.

Technical details

You can connect to servers via entering server addresses. This means you don't need an 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.
