Steam version and mods?

Postby Andersong » Thu Aug 24, 2006 12:17 pm

Hello, I just recently discovered Introversion through the mention of Defcon on Penny Arcade. I've immeadetly tried both the Uplink and Darwinia demos, and loved them both.

Now, I've come to understand that there's alot of modding going on for Uplink, and I just wanted to make sure one could partake in these mods if you buy the Steam version.

If I remember correctly, old Half Life mods didn't work on Steam when it first arrived, but had to be adapted. That's why I'm bothering you with this question :)

Anyways, hope this question hasn't been asked elsewhere. I searched around a bit, but didn't find a fitting topic.

<edit>

Never mind, answered my own question...

(for lack of a better thing to do and to please Hacker101)

I was going to ask what steam was I have never heard of it before, then I figured what the hell and did the smart thing and visited the website and answered my own question, hence the editing.

This question has been asked before, but I haven't heard of anyone downloading it specifically from Steam.

What is the title of your version of Uplink? Is it something like "Uplink: Hacker Elite"? If that be the case, mods; and patches from this website won't work on it. Else, if you have the "Uplink: Trust is a Weakness" title, mods and patches will work perfectly for you. :)

Also, the best place to get Modifications for Uplink is through http://www.modlink.net

yeah but then I lose the one measly little post count and if I were to delete it now you would look like an idiot...... hmmm maybe I should :)

Or I could just be like babylon5 and answer every single post that's new with a dumb one sentence answer... but I like to look intelligent.

To answer the question more precisely, mod that replace Uplink.exe won't work. But like already said, theme, gateway and LAN should work.

Ha ha ha, I won't even think about you till I have more posts than you.....

But no we don't I've always had the hots for Iris sorry. :D

I just find it hilarious and also kinda annoying whenever I visit the forums and see that almost every single topic in every single section had babylon5 in the most recent post spot. And then I go to read the topic and see a question and the latest post has nothing to do with the topic (generally) is no more than six words and most often makes absolutely no sense...

But it's all good.

Ahh! What have I done!?

I knew I should have thought twice before critizising a Veteran.
and Haha @ you wanting to make me look like an idiot. :P

But BTW, making a post with only "<edit>" and your explanation of why you edited it, isn't really worth 1 more post and doesn't make you look very intelligent... I hate to tell you. :)

Damn straight, she'll never guess who her secret admirer is, but she'd probably call it a stalker.....

There is no such thing as "Uplink: Trust is a Weakness". The game is called "Uplink" and had the tagline "Trust is a Weakness". However, SF changed the name of the version they were supplying to "Uplink: Hacker Elite".

The tagline is NOT the name, if that was the case then "Alien" would be known as "Alien: No One In Space Can Hear You Scream".

Except you can't delete a post if someone posts after the one you want to delete.
Uplink help: Check out the Guide or FAQ.
Latest Uplink patch is v1.55.
