Introduction

Inner Space is currently in Beta release, and is subscriber-only.

Inner Space is our next-generation cross between WinEQ 2 and MacroQuest 2, though it does not contain anything directly related to a specific game -- you are breaking no more rules by using Inner Space "out of the box" than by using WinEQ 2. Inner Space is a platform for development inside games. It uses LavishScript, a simple command-based scripting system inspired by Linux shells, to provide an in-game console window. WinEQ's feature set is implemented as individual commands, such as a command to resize the window to the full size of your screen, and assigned default hotkeys via the Bind and GlobalBind commands. Some WinEQ features, such as FPS indicator and memory indicator are implemented via HUD elements.

Inner Space consists of the main program, known as the Uplink, and sessions, which are attached to your game.

Features

It's so easy!
Inner Space has a wide range of features. Here's just a few
  • Can be trained through the "Add Game" menu item or Games Window to support most Direct3D or OpenGL games
  • All of the great features of WinEQ 2 are included!
  • Uses the LavishScript system to supply an in-game console, a heads-up display and more
  • Adds a bindable input system, allowing you to map key combinations directly to commands
  • Provides a method for all Inner Space sessions on the same computer to talk to each other (soon to be extended to allow other computers as well!), via the Relay command
  • Implements a native Navigation system, which stores connected waypoints and provides an easy way to get the shortest path between any two connected points!
  • The Inner Space Extension Developers Kit allows for creating custom features! See the ISMods Website for examples of existing mods (ISMods downloads and message boards are limited to GamingTools Subscribers, however you may read reviews or see the list of the available downloads)

  1. America's Army
  2. Battlefield 1942
  3. Counter-strike: Source
  4. Dark Age of Camelot
  5. Doom 3 - (Inner Space breaks in Doom 3 when switching between Full Screen and Windowed modes. Restarting Doom 3 in the desired mode works great. This is a known issue with Inner Space for this game.)

  8. Half-Life 2
  9. EverQuest
  10. EverQuest II

Installation

Installation is super-easy, and basically idiot-proof. Inner Space is available only to Lavish Software subscribers. The download will not function without a valid subscription.
  1. Download the installer from the Inner Space download page
  2. Run the installer
  3. An Inner Space shortcut is placed on your desktop, use it to launch the Inner Space Uplink. You may move the shortcut onto your start menu, or wherever you prefer.
  4. Because the installer only contains a couple necessary files, Inner Space will patch itself to the latest version when launched
  5. The Inner Space icon should appear in the system tray (next to your system clock)
  6. That's it! Launch your games by right clicking the system tray icon. Make sure to come back here for help!
