      How do we install add-on gateways and skins?

      I have a skin/several gateways that I would very much like to install.

      Also, is Onlink going to get to the mac, or no?

      I have a registered copy of Uplink. I tried to install the gateways.

      This is my attempt: I put these files in what i thought would be appropriate directories:

      /Applications/Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/graphics/gateway/NanosTECH2_t.tif
      /Applications/Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/graphics/gateway/NanosTECH2.tif

      /Applications/Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/data/gateways/NanosTECH2.txt

      I created the graphics and data folders in the Resources directory.

      But alas, i have yet to see the custom gateways appear in the uplink internal services server's hardware section. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, please let me know!

      EDIT : Well I've heard for a few sources that the code needs to be looked at before we can find out how it is possible to put addons on. So for as far as I know... no addons can be put on the latest version. ; _ ;

      Kent is working on an update before he leaves that should address the gateways/add-ons loading. Uplink will pick them up in ~/Library/Application Support/Uplink/mods. You should avoid modifying anything in the Resources folder since Uplink is code signed and will break under certain 10.5 account modes and under future major OS revisions.

      Do you know when he is leaving?

      Based on Rudy's statement, that depends on how long the update takes.

      He's gone, I have taken over all his projects. Bubble Trouble X and Apeiron X shipped yesterday. I have one reported bug to fix against Uplink which i'm currently looking at now.

      Rudy, do you know roughly when you'll finish the Update for Uplink? Like, will it be a few weeks, or a few months? A general idea of how soon you finish it would be fine.

      I am going to bet that, as usual, the answer is "when it is done." Stop nagging, and have a little patience.

      Miah and I sorted out the last remaining bug slated for 1.6.1. I'm building a new fc at this point, so depending on QA's workload sometime next week.
