MI6 and Janus fight for control of key military satellites. Capture and control Uplinks while preventing your opponents from doing the same!
To install, start by downloading and extracting the Uplink.zip file. Drag and drop the contents of "gesource" into your GoldenEye: Source folder (usually located at Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\gesource). Override any file conflicts if prompted. Once installed, you can select Uplink from the "Create Server" menu or through the developer console by using the command "ge_gameplay Uplink".
Once the round begins, a number of Uplinks appear around the map. Uplinks are marked by circles on the radar and colored glowing rings and flags. When a player enters an Uplink, a capture initiates. The more friendly players on the Uplink, the faster it captures. Enemy players can block the capture by entering the Uplink. Once the capture completes, the Uplink changes to the capturing team's control and generates a point for the team every few seconds. In free-for-all mode, capturing an Uplink provides the player points, a small amount of health or armor and causes the Uplink to shift to a new location.
Team Scoring:
Points are generated over time for each Uplink Point owned by the team.
Player Scoring:
1 Point per kill
2 Points for completing an Uplink
Tweakable Game Options:
up_warmup (default 20) is the warm up time in seconds (Use 0 to disable warmup)
up_points_override (default 0) sets the number of Uplinks to spawn to a maximum of 15. Set to 0 to use default amount. Takes effect on round end.
Game Events for Plugins:
up_startwarmup emits when warmup begins
up_capture_team emits with the team that captures any Uplink Point
up_capture_neutral emits with the player that captures a neutral Uplink Point
up_capture_steal emits with the player that captures an enemy Uplink Point
up_capture_solo emits with the player that captures an Uplink Point in free-for-all mode

Update June 29, 2013
Updated code to 4.2.3 styling
Changed the way the numbers at the top of the screen are displayed to make them look more centered

As of 4.2.3, the size of an Uplink Point the game recognizes you in is much smaller than it should be. This seems to be a game glitch and not a code one, so will need a fix.
