DOlson Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 They re-released this game in North America this year, and you can find it on the shelves of your local game retailer (hopefully). I wrote this install tutorial since the game doesn't come with an installer: http://icculus.org/~dolson/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/...s/uplinkinstall Happy hacking!

liquidzoo Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Oh yeah, I had to go to 3 stores to find this, and I got the last copy at the third; but I do know you can either order the game from the companies website: http://www.introversion.co.uk/uplink/ or if you really want to, you can get it from http://www.walmart.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezroller Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 This game is sweet. I've only played the demo, but since the game has been re-released on this side of the pond, I'm gonna go and pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I have played and continue to play this game. I love it. I have it installed on both Windows and Linux partitions (dual boot on both of my machines). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I tried to download teh demo..but when I run the executable ./uplink, nothing happens.... I don't like to buy it on the internet, but if it comes in the stores here..I'll surely consider it..have never palyed a game like this...Luckily, they placed the linux and windows-version on the cd... Now, why isn't this demo running?.No erros, warnings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 i stupid question, but you didn't try to run the "./uplink" from inside the zip did you? also, did you make it executable? chmod a+x ./uplink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Luckily, they placed the linux and windows-version on the cd... And the linux version is super easy to install. DOlson made a great tutorial (as always) for installing it in Linux. Check the first post in this thread for a link to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I've done everythinh mentionned..even placed the files in /usr/bin...no luck When I type it..the next line of the commandlinbe appears again, ready to accept the next command...When I double click it in the graphical userinterface it sys it can't find the executable, but in shellmode...not erros or warnings..nothing.

liquidzoo Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 hmmm.... That is puzzling. I will have to do some checking for you when I get home on a possible cause. I'm at work right now and don't have my laptop with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted May 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 I've used my install instructions more than once, with no problems. The most common problem people have with my tutorials is they don't actually follow them to the letter, but they skip certain parts or ignore other parts. Are you *sure* you followed my tutorial? /usr/local/bin is where the executable script should go... not /usr/bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 I haven't looked at it even:)..I just followed the instructions from teh companies website..Btw..I run all my programs from /usr/bin. I've deleted /usr/local, because I don't use it. Maybe in the future.....Anyway, why should it run from /usr/local/bin and not from /usr/bin/...???? I don't think this can eb a problem, can it?
