Title: Beginners Guide to Knossos Settings, Lighting Pre-sets and Global Flags
Post by: Iain Baker on October 14, 2020, 02:37:31 pm

Hi all!

I have created a beginners guide to knossos which may help newcomers, but I will need help to finish it as there are some aspects of Knossos I haven't used myself and so I'm not sure what to say about them. Could you take a look at the attached please and let me know what you think? If anything needs changing please let me know ASAP.

Anywhere you see red and yellow XXXXXXXXXXs I need info. If someone one could give a brief description of these it would be appreciated. Once done I'll add it to the getting started thread on here, reddit, FB etc.

Cheers :-)

Nice! Do you have this as a Google Doc or Microsoft Online doc that someone like myself could go in and directly suggest changes? It would make it a lot easier to help with changes that way  :)

Hi wookieejedi, just saw the updated doc. Thank you for doing that :-)

The question now is what to do with it? Should we copy n' paste it into the wiki, or paste the google docs link, which would be quicker. How would the forum threads handle the images? Would it put them in the right place? Any advice greatly appreciated  :)

Happy to help. I just checked the wiki and the Getting Started Wiki page simply just has a link to the Knossos Forum site. So adding the Knossos Getting Started Guide to the wiki near that link seems like the most logical and easiest thing to do.
