=============================================================================== VERSION 1.31 =============================================================================== - Fixed : Modems on LAN systems stopped working. They would crash the game if you moved the mouse over them on the map, or tried to connect to them. - Fixed : Shouldn't crash if can't find a sound device. =============================================================================== VERSION 1.3 =============================================================================== - Changed : Probing of LAN systems can now only be done if you have a connection to them. You cannot Probe an 'island' LAN system. - Changed : Uplink will now search for new LANs in data/lans everytime you start a new game OR load a game. Newly found LANs will be added to your existing game - there is no longer any need to start a new user to load new LAN files. - Changed : Map scrolling speed now resolution independent. - Changed : Loading/Saving data should be much faster. = Fixed : The ShinyHammer special mission told you to attack the Arunmor LAN, but checked success against the Arunmor Central Mainframe - Fixed : Problems with the Software Sales menu causes the Voice Analyser to be invisible in 640x480 - Fixed : Spelling mistakes : IEE Acreditation - Fixed : long standing Uplink bug where some Steal-File missions would occasionally ask you to steal a file that was encrypted at greater than level 7 (the maximum decrypter strength). - Fixed : Bug in the News screen which prevented you from reading the full text of a news article - Fixed : The default IRC channel was set to #uplink-test instead of #uplink - Fixed : Sample Local Area Network should not be targetted for missions - Fixed : Really nasty bug that would sometimes cause the game to crash or your userfile to become unloadable if you bounced a connection through multiple computers with the same name - eg "Arc Access Terminal" - Linux : * Fixed theming * DOS text files are now read in properly (this affected custom LANs and gateways) * Save games are now stored in ~/.uplink * Graphics backend is now OpenGL/SDL (previously used glut) * Sound backend is now a patched SDL_mixer to allow playing of UNI files. (see SDL_mixer.patch for changes) =============================================================================== VERSION 1.2 =============================================================================== - New gameplay : LAN systems. These are the hardest systems to break - much harder than the existing Central Mainframe systems. I wouldn't want to spoil this for you, but it's a big new feature. You need to be pretty advanced before you go near these. - New software : LAN View (HUD Upgrade) LAN Probe LAN Scan LAN Spoof LAN Force - New Mod stuff : New gateways can now be added without having to hack gatewaydefs.txt. All that is needed is a text file in data/gateways and a couple of images. Any number of new gateways can be added. See mods.txt for more information. - New Mod stuff : Uplink now supports Skins. New skins can be added by creating a new folder containing a text file titled "theme.txt", and all replacement graphics that are to be used. The theme.txt file can include colour information as well. Themes can be selected from a menu in the options screen. See mods.txt for more information. - New Mod stuff : New LANs can be created and added to the game. All that is needed is a text file in data/lans. See mods.txt for more information. - Added : New HUD Upgrade : IRC Client - Added : New scrollbars that work much better than the old ones - Added : Ability to zoom and scroll the main map - Added : Support for higher resolutions. The recommended size is now 800x600. - Added : Defrag software tool - Added : Patch detection and release notes when run for first time - Changed : Deleting files or logs from the console is now much more verbose. - Changed : You now have to click twice to abandon a mission. - Fixed : Uplink would lock up sometimes on a certain date, every time. Caused sometimes when ALL agents were dead or in jail. Often occured after the "Mole" secret mission. - Fixed : chris@introversion.co.uk was getting overloaded with bug reports - Fixed : world.dat is not closed properly at one point - Fixed : It was possible to delete Internic from the links screen - effectively ending the game for the player - Fixed : Your score goes very high if you have hacked banks due to the money. The maximum score available for money is now 100,000 points, available if you have 10 Million credits or more. - Fixed : Spelling mistakes : dissavow, veryify, analysys - Fixed : Uplink would crash upon launch if its install directory was longer than 64 characters long. Where the hell did I learn to code. - Fixed : On the console, if you typed 'cd blablabla' it would crash, so long as the directory name had more than 8 characters in it. - Fixed : Sometimes a "ghost" email icon would be left on the screen, which would crash the game when clicked on. The same occured (less frequently) for "ghost" missions. - Fixed : Crashes would often occur if all computers were disabled - for example during an outbreak of Revelation. - Fixed : Crashes often occured when replying to a Steal-All-Files mission. - Fixed : Crash bug that would occur when changing a log type to TransferTO or TransferFROM - Fixed : Destroy-All-Files mission would sometimes target an empty system. - Fixed : Uplink Corporation will now stop you from buying Modems if your Gateway bandwidth would make the purchase pointless. eg buying a 5gq/s modem for a gateway with a bandwidth of 2gq/s. =============================================================================== VERSION 1.01 =============================================================================== - Fixed : Uplink sometimes refuses to load a save game file, and simply crashes during the attempt. Caused by incorrectly saved log file data after using a V4 log deleter. Often occurs after gateway upgrade. Regular Forum members will know this bug as "The Log Deleter V4 bug". - Fixed : If you delete a file whilst copying it, Uplink crashes. - Fixed : If you run two file deleters on the same file, Uplink crashes. - Fixed : Minor problem with the "Mole" special mission - Fixed : Problems sometimes caused by modifying your own criminal record
