-Uprising was published in 1997 by [[Ubisoft]]. It is a mixture of real time strategy and first/third person shooter. In this game you control a new secret weapon developed by the "Empire", stolen by rebels: the Warcat. Equipped with the latest weapon technologies and the ability to instantly teleport allied troops into battle, the Warcat is a powerful war machine.

 ===== Uprising =====
-Uprising does not have any CD-Key or other restrictions (except the CD-Check), so you can buy the game anywhere where it is still offered, i.e. Ebay, Amazon, private sellers and other commercial dealers. As long as the CD is OK, everything is fine. On [[https://www.gog.com/game/uprising_join_or_die|GOG]] it is distributed as an edited version, but only in English and only with two of the original four HUDs available. (E. g. the HUD that can be seen in the [[#Screenshots]] is not available.)

 ===== Installation =====
 The game can only be installed from the CD under NT systems with the compatibility mode Windows 95. However, the game //can// be played under 2000, XP and higher. The crack version is even more unstable than the original version. With crack and without CD you don't have the music from the CD.

 Under Win 7 x64 the original game seems to have its problems with the display. Even with compatibility mode for Win 98 and started as administrator you can see only a gear wheel in the lower right corner of the screen. The actual menu is still there, because if you move the mouse, you can still hear the usual sounds.
-The GOG version also runs under Windows 10. It used to run without any problems, but lately (2021-07-20) running certain programs kept the game from starting. Actually the GOG version notifies you an the end of the installation process, that stopping most applications may improve upon that. The following programs were encountered as problematic when it comes to starting Uprising:

 However, the GOG version is only available in English. Since the German translation is not very good, this is not a real loss (at least for players who speak English).
+===== Cheats =====
+When pressing key ''m'' on the keyboard, chat massages can be entered. In [[en:gaming_theory:single-player]] this can be used to enter the following cheat codes:
+^  Code  ^  Effect  ^
+| ''tuff'' | Toggles super weapons. When active, //tuff ass!// is displayed on the bottom of the screen |
+| 1. time ''chump'' | Displays //chump!// on the bottom of the screen and makes the warcat invincible. |
+| 2. time ''chump'' | Displays //chump!// on the bottom of the screen and makes the warcat very fast on top of the already invincibility. |
+| 3. time ''chump'' | Turns off both, invincibility and super speed. |
+| ''dangerous'' | Toggles whether weapons require ammunition. When active, //dangerous!// is displayed on the bottom of the screen. |
+| ''slick'' | Same as entering ''tuff'', ''chump'' and ''dangerous'' one after another. |
+| ''mo money'' | Adds 100 energy to the players possession and for a moment displays //cheap foo!// on the lower right section of the screen (message board). |
+| ''way mo money'' | Adds 5000 energy to the players possession and for a moment displays //hella cheap foo!// on the lower right section of the screen (message board). |
+| ''nolasersound'' | Toggles the laser sound of the warcat. |
 ===== Maps =====
-There are several maps available for this game. Especially the [[single-player]] [[campaign]] provides for 20 missions with unique maps. The interesting part is, that two campaigns are not the same, as the missions are (mostly) shuffled in their order or missions. They are grouped into seven systems with three to four planets and therefore missions. There are five stages consisting of 1 or 2 systems. The first three missions are always part of the first system. The system's name, however changes. The very last mission is also always the same and also part of the same system. The distribution of planets in systems and the names of systems is otherwise random. Only the staging structure remains like this:

 ===== Network =====
-The game is playable over [[IPX]] and [[TCP]]. TCP game play is facilitated via [[DirectX#DirectPlay|DirectPlay]]. That means, in principle the following ports are needed for internet play on the server side: TCP 47624, TCP 2300-2400 and [[UDP]] 2300-2400. In reality after doing a Wireshark monitoring, the Ports TCP 47624, TCP 2300 and UDP 2350. So you may try it with those three alone, but if that fails, maybe you will have to forward the entire range from 2300-2400.

 The game can be played over LAN without any problems, as long as everyone is playing the same version. The one who opens the server can only be found by the others if they know the hosts's IP. (No automatic game search on all PCs on the LAN.) The IP is actually prompted for in a text box as soon as you click on "Join game". But the text field is not always visible. Often the list box of the potentially open servers is displayed, but behind it the Windows text field is invisible. With a little luck you will still see the cursor blinking.
