I've recently recieved my DevCD, and begun work on something that I feel Uplink is sorely lacking: the ability to add functionality/data without needing to overwrite the .exe. Why is this a problem? Mainly because it means that you can only have one Mod installed at a time - it overwrites the previo...

Eh? I'm not looking for someone's password, I'm looking for one of the mods to authorise me for the Dev forum. If Chris is the only one who can do that... guess I'm in for a bit of a wait.

While you *could*, *in theory*, write VB bindings for Uplink, nobody would ever want to do that, as (...

I know nothing about how Uplink is *actually* coded, but based on how I'd do it... When a new profile is created, the entire game world - all the 'virtual machines' - are generated (their names, IPs, positions, types, contents, and so on) and stored in the profile.

Uplink: F5'd Uplink: Cached Copy (perhaps for a bonus disk or something) Uplink: Paranoia Uplink MX (although you might get sued for that one) Uplink: Postincrement (random, but technical-sounding) Latency: the sequel to Uplink (or Uplink: Latency) Uplink: Trace in Progress (because that phrase sums...

Coming back under a different username: IP Ban him?
