Post subject:  Modified Version Of Onlink?
Is There Anyway I Can Get A Version Of Onlink So It'll Work With My Copy Of Uplink? I Currently Can't Run Onlink Because My Uplink I Bought At Trygames.com So I Don't have A Disk.

Don't capitalise the first letter of every word, just proper nouns and the first word of sentences.

And if it's legit I'm sure we can work something out.

*/

Unfortanately It Doesn't Work -.-
Somehow Trygames.com

So Until A Copy Is Made That I Could Use I'll Just Have To Wait Unless Someone Knows Where I Can Get A Free Copy Of The Game Disk
Seriously you need to quit using capital letters to start every word.

Too my knowledge Uplink doesn't require the disk to run. The disk is only needed in order to install the program. However what is required when playing the game is the Code Card, which comes in the disk case, for registering new agents.

If you don't have the Code Card don't bother asking for it as you'll only be accused of being a "Warez Monkey", especially if your excuse for not having it is that a family member moved it so it's now lost.

It's highly unlikely you'll get a free copy due to copyright laws and the fact that in general the people who post in these forums are loyal fans and would rather pay so the creators can continue to write great games.

Okay guys, I send out a special request to Chris to ask if I may allow it. This might end up being "no" so don't get too eager just yet :?

If you can't even get Uplink to work with the patch it's pretty obvious that there's no chance of Onlink working

Wrong. I have a working copy. But I got a message today from Mark, the Managing Director of Introversion.
Quote:
Unfortunately Trygames are not an authorized supplier of Uplink. They have acquired it through the grey market and we don't see a penny for the copies that they sell. Personally I would prefer it if you didn't support their version - I'd like to discourage people buying it from them. That said, I can't stop you and I'll understand if you think that it is the right thing to do for Onlink.
This means that I can also release it, but I'm having a VERY HARD TIME about the thought of screwing Introversion over.

So I emailed him back with a thought of resolution. I'll keep you posted.

o.O *Didn't Know This About Trygames* Well If You Decide NOT To Do It I Understand And I'll Eventually Order A Copy Of It From Introversion Themselves When I Get The Money

Well, I'll be making a TryGames patch anyway... however, they'll all be lagged by several weeks. :/

Besides, with the non-TryGames version, you can also try out every other Dev mod. Rather nice, really.
