Knossos.NET (KNet) Announcement

Hi everyone, we wanted to share an important announcement regarding the current state of FSO launchers! As many of you might have heard, the most modern, stable, and cross-platform launcher that we recommend to use is now officially Knossos.NET (KNet for short). Massive thanks to ShivanSPS for building KNet from the ground up, and many thanks to the other collaborators including taylor, Cyborg, Lafiel, and more.

We highly recommend folks switch to using KNet. Upgrading to KNet from classic Knossos has innumerable benefits and robust stability. KNet is a highly improved launcher that fixes the bugs and issues of classic Knossos. This includes orders of magnitude faster loading, better joystick setting, easier option handling, smaller file size, mod compression and many more updates 🙂

KNet also uses the same library folder structure, so no need to redownload your currently installed mods!  You don’t even need to point KNet at your old library, it’s automatic!

I don't see quite the amount of options and flags to enable as compared to Knossos Classic.  The HUD and Gameplay sections seem to have been deleted.  Is that all on the game_settings.tbl now?

wookieejedi:
All the flag options are still there, though slightly more organized. To see all settings, just hover over a given mod, click `settings`, then click `configure. As you alluded to though, many modern mods also use many of these settings in the game_settings table now, too. :)

Pobaxi:
Congratulations on a successful 1.0 release

Ah.  I expected that these would be available in the master list of options OUTSIDE of each individual mod, as they are in Knossos-classic.
