NuKnossos a complete rewrite of the old Knossos mod manager. Nebula also lives here since it's easier to manage both projects in a single monorepo. If you're looking for the old code, go to https://github.com/ngld/old-knossos.
The following idea has been proposed after a long discussion in the #knossos channel:
We could maintain a database of mod assets (i.e. ships, weapons, ...) that can be reused across mods and campaigns. Knossos could then download assets from that database and add them to a mod that the user is developing. Knossos would track which assets were added which allows us to a) show a list of used assets on the mod page and b) notify the modder about updates to these assets.
Depending on the way this turns out, Knossos might end up handling (at least part of) the asset update.
In addition to the update notifications, it'd be great if Knossos could warn about known issues like the old particle script which can cause significant performance issues. If possible, it would be great to show these warnings even for existing mods that never used the asset store.
