I really loved Uplink, when I played, wanted to write my own, but realised the task was a bit mammoth and I normally do Video/Audio style programming (Mainly at Doom9.org...If you've used XviD at any time, you may well have seen my code before
)
Anyway, I don't know how much time I can devote, but i'll just keep this thread up to date with changes. As I make them.
"They" haven't replied to my request me to have access into the development forum...But I'm assuming we can release "diffs" (i.e. our changes to the code, but not the code file its self). So if I do disappear, someone can pick up where I left off....
My main aims (to begin with) is to emulate some of the ideas of SimplyUplink and fix somethings I've always wanted (i.e. Cursor flashing on text entry boxes, doesn't flash like it should...I've fixed that already
).
Then I'm going to aim for a complete story/script rewrite...Story rewrite will be easy, populating it with new tools to make it interesting a bit more tricky...But it will be a nice pet project.
Anyway, back to the code...
Cheers,
-Nic
ps
Current changes (only just getting used to the code):
Made it so the Log Deleter doesn't go flying off to the log everytime it deletes a log (as well as lose mouse focus)
Made it so the cursor blinks correctly (the way it was intended...it just never worked)
EDIT/Update: Just added ability to delete a user from the main screen.
EDIT/Update: Just added ability to click on the password of password only screens to get thru them (i.e. InterNIC)
(Just copying bits from other mods as you can see so far...but things are progressing quickly)
pps
I'm not expecting replies...using this thread more for announcements and "blogging"
