It just occured to me that it might be a fun idea if there was a random event in uplink that if you had over a $100,000 in your account there is a chance a hacker will break in and steal all your money.  You could then either live with it or try and track down your stolen funds. anyone have an ...

there are a couple of ways 1) attempt hack into a secure server like a bank. When  they start tracing you disconnect.  then use log modifer to change a one of your connection logs to that persons IP address. 2) the easy way: i hack into Global Crimnal Database. ii search for the person iii...

A couple of people where asking for more Uplink Fiction, I've work on one off and on for the week and here is part 1. http://technogoth-r.tripod.com/zodiac_part_i.htm Its more cyberpunk then uplink but I hope you all enjoy it.  I invited active critisism and comments if I get feed back I'll continue...

I doubt any of you have heard of it by my personal favorite language is Prolog.  defently a fun language to use.

not sure, I think it might be both but I know it stops when you hit a certain rank.  It might be more the confident  because I can get confid in under about 10 minutes

hmm, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same mission in the Demo.  You can get an email form ARC asking you to change a SIN in the social insurence database.  it has nothing to do with wether or not you tryed to hack into ARC.

the email system would have to change radically to cause corruption of data and crashes.  Because all you'd need to have emails do things. Is a parser and a series of tigger based events such as: a message appearing the new forum reading "Looking for a new virus, willing to by $10,000 for ...

the demo is pretty limiting since it ends when you hit confident level. which is really easy it takes about 6 mission i think....  but you can do a special mission in the Demo that unavailable in the full version.  Have you found it yet?

I finaly got around to testing this, and you can in fact use revelations to destroy your gateway instead of a nuke. saving your self $20,000 the only down side is that it dops your ranking

Java is good starting language to learn since it has lot of free code available and its easy to work with.  Espically if you've done C++ since the langues are similar in many ways altough I find C++ more powerful.

It wouldn't cause crashes or corruptions. Since unless since unless the game was expecting that email it would just ignore it.

umm... maybe I'm missing something but what your discribing sounds Identical to the current "trace hacker" missions. Clues could be used to make interesting missions the problem is how?  I could see maybe if there was something like "We've come to a suspect that a hacker named [i...

actuley I find the site forum good places to decied wether not to get a game. Epscailly if lot people say they hate it or like. My advice try the demo.   The full game is better then the demo since there is more to do and more challenges, and the first time you hack into a back is always fun. &...

the trick to stealing money from a bank to is to erase all evidence of the transfer not just the bounce logs

everthing in game is only done through game time, so if you log off and then log back on the game picks up exactly where you left.  Traces will continue as if you had never logged off.
