Add ons

Add-ons are extensions for SuperTux which are distributed separately from the main distribution. In most cases, they are sets of levels contributed by users or groups of users. They may, however, include custom tilesets, which may give these levels a very distinct look.

Add-ons can be downloaded from within SuperTux. Simply ensure you have an internet connection, and select “Addons” from the main menu, where you can choose to install the currently available add-ons.

The addons are managed in two repositories:

• https://github.com/SuperTux/addons
• https://github.com/SuperTux/addons-src

addons contains the .zip files that are downloaded by SuperTux, while addon-src contains the levels in extracted form to make it easier to modify and debug them.

The process of updating the addons repository is documented at:

• https://github.com/SuperTux/addons/blob/master/README.md

Manual installation

If you cannot use the Add-on manager for some reason (for example if you built SuperTux without libcurl), you can download the add-ons, which are distributed as .zip files. Just copy the file(s) to your SuperTux 2 config directory (~/.supertux2/ on UNIX / Linux, %USERPROFILE%\supertux2\ on Windows).

$ wget -P ~/.supertux2 $ADDON_URL
