[GATEWAY] Hexatron Ultima Thread - Uplink OS mod for Uplink - Trust is a Weakness

Hello Community,

I used my limited time and resources to make a gateway for UplinkOS. It's simple, but super ppowerful. Since no graphics seem to be usable at the moment (or I'm simply too stupid to make the game load them) and my paint skills are **** anyway, there is only a layout file. The gateway has been tested with v102 BETA on the Steam version @ 1920x1080.

Holy $#17! It's HUUUUUUGE! Haha! O_O
Nice job! Great to see it's not that hard to add new gateways ^_^ (hopefully).

What happened with the graphics or what problems did you run into? The thumbnail?

Cheers!

PS: Changed the title.

Hmm, I was able to add a thumbnail just now. Okay, then I'll go make a proper one. But there seems no way of adding the actual "View Gateway" background image to the game.

Well, the first step was finding out how the UI in UplinkOS works. Some testing revealed that all measurements are multiplied by 3. Next step: Find the largest possible size for a gateway, that doesn't spill out of the screen or overlap with the gateway's name/description. Step 3: See how big the verious parts (and the text below them) are and look where the x=0, y=0 coordinates are exactly. Then I used paint to make an accurate sketch, where all parts were simple black rectangles. I took their top-left corner coordinates, divided that by 3 and there you have everything for the data file.

PS: Actually added a download link (Kinda forgot that ). If you want to test it, either go hack a bank or set its price to -10000000 credits, whatever floats your boat.

Aaaah yes, forgot to add that bit about the multiplication of the measurements to the guide ^_-'

Really nice job all around! ^_^
