Inner Space is our next-generation cross between [[WinEQ 2]] and [http://www.macroquest2.com 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 [[ISSession:Bind (Command)|Bind]] and [[ISSession:GlobalBind (Command)|GlobalBind]] commands.

Introduction

Inner Space is a platform for development inside games. Inner Space uses LavishScript, a simple command-based scripting system inspired by Linux shells, and LavishGUI, a system that provides fully customizable user interfaces. Inner Space consists of the Uplink (main program), and individual sessions which are attached to each game.

Installation

It's so easy!
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!

Basic Usage

  • Launch Inner Space using the icon on your desktop. The Uplink becomes an icon in your system tray (next to the system clock).
  • Launch games by right clicking the system tray icon, finding the name of a game in the menu, and selecting a profile from the submenu.
  • Open the in-game console by using the ` key. This key is a Bind and can be changed to any key or combination of keys you choose. A lot of non-US keyboards must change the bind of this command in the Configuration.
  • The in-game console accepts many commands. All consoles have all of the LavishScript commands as well as Inner Space Commands. Extensions can add their own commands too!
  • Inner Space displays a framerate and memory indicator in the upper left corner by default. You can toggle them by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F and Ctrl+Alt+M respectively.
  • When playing multiple sessions you can use Ctrl+Alt+Z and Ctrl+Alt+X to rotate backwards or forwards through sessions, bringing another session to foreground. Using Ctrl+Alt+1 through Ctrl+Alt+9 quickly brings specific sessions to the foreground.
  • To add a new game right click the system tray icon and click "Add Game". Enter the name of the game, then click the "..." button to navigate to the game's executable. Most games do not need anything extra after doing so, but if you have trouble with a game, please post on our forums to receive help.
