I don't use Windows - so I only know where they'd go under Linux...and
that won't help you.

Same problem.


Does anyone else know the answer?

These are very cute (although they look like they are a lot of polygons).

The version of TuxKart that is in CVS (not the standard released
version) allows you to load your own kart models.

In the 'data' directory, you'll see a file called 'players.dat'
which contains the filenames of the four carts.  You can change
any of those to be whatever you like.

You can also change the models on a level-by-level basis.
In the ".loc" file for each level, you can add:

   PLAYERS "filename"

...and that file will be used instead of 'players.dat' for that
level only.  This would allow you (for example) to have them
ride snowmobiles in an ice/snow level.

Right now, there is no way to replace the icons used at the bottom
of the screen though - I havn't had time to work on that...
which is why this feature isn't in the main release of TuxKart yet.
