The only person who has said that there is no pleasing me is Orillian, and it was shown he clearly missed the point of what I post. So siding with someone who's proven clearly that he's an idiot does not garner you any points (is their points? A point? A scoring system?).

As for the FAQ or Guide answering your question, it does.

No public logins, that's either a Central Mainframe, or a LAN.

Central Mainframe, as the guide and faq state, requires you to bounce through their Internal Access Machine first. Lan requires the HUD lan viewer.

Both questions are covered.


Why would I give a shit about who's been on the forum longer?
It's not like I'm trying to become your "buddy" or gain status among the other forumers by appealing to the über forumer...?lol.

And second of all, you fail as that was not my question :twisted:

See I've (-)4Xx0r3d the Central mainframe and removed all backups and it still doesn't let me win.


And trolls, get out of my thread thank you. (To the two posts above)


Did you wait long enough till it appeared in the news?

Also you don't get to tell anyone to stop posting. Day you become a moderator or admin you do. Till then however.....

The admin would like to express the point that he sides with Rkiver. There are many ways to please Rkiver (just ask his wife), one of them being the ability to parse a well-written FAQ/Guide which covers any major question one has about the game play dynamics in Uplink.

While "more than a few" people might agree with you orillian, the rest of the community does not, especially those who count.

YBS.

Quoted directly from the guide, which Mas kindly linked to..

Destroy Database
Mission Descriptions:
Destroy corporate data of a rival company
Destroy customer records on a sales system
Destroy rival software in development

Ranking: Intermediate
Difficulty Rating: 5 - 6
Required Software: Password Breaker, Firewall Bypass/Disable v5, Proxy Bypass/Disable v5 (The level of firewall/proxy on these missions differ for each server, some of them have level 5 so it's best to stick with version 5 bypasses)

Connect to the target, and Bypass/Disable the Firewall and Proxy. Break the password using the Password Breaker. Enter the Admin section, then the console. Once you are in the console, enter the usr directory (type 'cd usr') and then type 'delete' to delete all files on the system. Disconnect and cover your logs, and then go to the Uplink News Page, and wait for news of your hack to appear. Once it does, you can reply to the mail and finish the mission.
NOTES: This mission sometimes targets LAN systems, which means you will need LAN software to be able to complete it.


As you can see it covers both LANs, and waiting for it to appear in the news, so your assumption I was incorrect was in and of itself incorrect.

But hey, we all make mistakes.

Besides stop blaming me for not reading a FAQ that isn't even on this forums site but some completely different one and that still doesn't help me.

As you see all backups and all files have been destroyed, it's in the news and it's still not working when i reply.


=/ Could you guys stop trying to bash my topic now and help me?

The guide is linked quite often and is recognised as the source of information for all missions. If you decided to not read it despite being advised to, and it even being linked in the FAQ, that's your problem, not ours. However let's just move on shall we?

Now if it's not working even after deleting the data and it appearing in the news then it is possible that you have missed something, and only deleted some, but not all the data as stipulated in the mission.

So first things first, what version of the game is it (Steam, Introversion, Stratetgy First) and what patch is it up to (if Steam it's automaticly up to date). Last but not least is it the English version of the game, or the German one?

Go from there and we'll see what else we can do.

What? Do you want me to have a rank that says I'm the admin? And flashing pips? Eh, here you go, enjoy.
