Custom Lans?

Postby hc2995 » Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:34 pm

I recently got into modding uplink, i updated to the 1.54 patch and was poking around modlink for some custom lans. I added the folders Data, data, and lans to C:/Program files/uplink (so the structure looks like C:/Program Files/uplink/Data/data/lans) and i added the custom lan (animus2.4.txt) to the folder. I started the game, and started a new profile, i then purchased the IP lookup and tried to find the lan (to see if it is there) i entered the lans ip (as given to me in the lans .txt file) but i get "IP not found" Did i add the custom lan right, or is it the file thats wrong?

Try C:/Program Files/uplink/data/lans?

That worked, thanks. I had tried that directory before with a different LAN, but it caused uplink to crash. The LAN im using now works though :D

Also, i was looking in the change log, if i upload a new LAN, do i need to make a new character? Or will uplink automatically recognize it?

Honestly I don't remember, but I do think you have to start a new agent to get the LANs. New gateways, on the other hand, don't need a new agent in latest patches.
