Title: Freespace 2 Open Source Project great new addition
Post by: Wipeout on January 12, 2018, 02:38:32 AM
So there is a great new addition to the Freespace 2 open source project.
Knossos

https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=94068.0

It does everything for you to get any of the mods/conversions/ect installed for you.  It lets you explore to see what is available.  It is almost like having a GoG.com type store and GoG Galaxy type system for all things Freespace Open Source project.

I started to play Freespace again, probably the 15th time since the game released, and using this new software is fantastic.

Is that project still going on? I haven't checked in on it for years.

Yup still going on, and strong.  Using the Knossos client is excellent because it exposes so much content that has been mAde over the years, I had no idea it was that much.

They are up to version 3.8 for the SCP, which released like a few months ago.
