FBI MOD FOR MAC

Postby kaktus9 » Sun Jan 29, 2012 8:58 pm

hello, i'm a fairl new Uplink user [i've got it in Humble Bundle 2011 pack and i like it VERY MUCH] recently i have completed Aroumor missions upranked to Activist Veteran and started looking for more
then i found that mac version supports addon installation and i have found the FBI MOD
http://neott.uplinkcorp.com/fbi/fbi.html

i know the mac version also supports addons, andthe FBI mod is complete but is an ugly Windows only exe, so there is really even no option to try and tamper with files yourself
i've boon googleing around much but haven't found definite answer, so my question is:
will FBI mod be coming to Uplink for mac too?

You bought the bundle, you have the source. You're in as good a position as anyone else to ask the author for a pack of the modifications made, apply them on the source you have and try to compile it for the mac. Maybe it's already in subversion, I haven't looked. Given the age of ... everything, a little experience with XCode may help.

A long ago I also retried to get the source of the FBI mod. I contacted the author and he told me the source has been lost (hard drive crash if I remember correctly).

OUCH -you know when to make backup when it's too late-now only option is to open the EXE, so...
then big question is: how to breach open exe on a mac?
and no, simple "open" with Stuffit Expander does NOT work and yes i've googled before asking
ideas?

The mod itself will only run on Windows. Boot Camp or a virtual machine with it are your only options, then. Or that Crossover Office thing for games (can't remember its name).
