Profiles and scripts
Wanna quickly set-up multiple netgames in one go? LiquidLauncher supports live-swappable profiles so you'll never have to remember your settings again. All settings are also saved in an easy-to-edit TOML format for easy adjustment and sharing.
Wanna share your configs with non-LiquidLauncher players? Wanna host your LiquidLauncher config on a dedicated server? Simply export your settings as a launch script for both Windows and *nix shell formats, available for both client and server setups.
Built-in Netgame browser
Although based on LauncherBlast2-reBoot, we completely overhauled ournetgame browser to provide a comfortable netgaming experience. Join activenetgames directly from LiquidLauncher, manage bookmarks of any netgames youlike, and because we're Liquid of course, we've also made sure you can do so for any master server you can find, including native support for LiquidMS.
Built-in Mod browser
Mod downloads disabled? Just use the integrated mod browser to download mods from all across the SRB2 community and have them added to your profile in one click.
(DISCLAIMER: Due to potential quality control concerns on behalf of the official SRB2 Message Board, only the official forum is enabled by default. Player discretion is advised.)
Fully featured RSS/Atom newsreader
Keep up with the latest news from Liquid, SRB2, the wider Sonic community or literally any RSS feed you can find. Seriously, just add your own feed in the settings and you can browse news from all across the internet, right from within LiquidLauncher.
