Uplink OS is a total graphical modification to 2001's indie cult hit Uplink: Trust is a Weakness by Introversion Software. It aims to bring a fresh look to the game's cyberpunk visuals and a much needed upgrade to its interface and usability.

Hey! Not to be a complete bother, I know it's in the FAQ and I'm sure you've been asked this before, but is there any possibility of future Onlink support? I have no idea how the game is modified, so I'm sure that it's not a simple matter of putting your OS on top of that engine, but I was just curious as to if there are any plans in that direction :)

Unfortunately, no. It would require too much effort. Uplink doesn't support actual modding, like, for example Skyrim, where you can just add mods as "blocks". What it does is it gives you access to its actual source code and every mod you do, creates a different executable - basically a different game.

That means that merging two mods means you need to actually merge their code bases. Which is not a lot of fun to do since it will most likely require re-writes and what not.

:/

I think the devs of Onlink said that it contains very little code left over from Uplink, so that'd be a guaranteed re-write.
