yay happy times
April 21st, 2009 at 8:31 am
Thanks Andrey
April 21st, 2009 at 8:55 am
Finally! I was one of those folk who wouldn’t JB…
Congratulations, looks great Andrey!
April 21st, 2009 at 9:30 am
Great Great Great !!!
April 21st, 2009 at 9:30 am
Good work !
Too badwe can’t do much with the 15 UW points lol
April 21st, 2009 at 10:03 am
Thanq guys finally
April 21st, 2009 at 10:07 am
Can’t see the drug labs i mean any of them And it’s a little bugged but wtf xD it’s OUT XD
April 21st, 2009 at 10:08 am
Daedalus, try buying from other people you see on the map. I think there might be some bug involved. Gonna check that.
April 21st, 2009 at 10:11 am
I didnt get labs or junkies until I bought off a real person had to haggle abit and use my points but seems ok
April 21st, 2009 at 10:12 am
sorry thanks! been hanging out long time to return
April 21st, 2009 at 10:29 am
You haggled well stashman…lol
April 21st, 2009 at 10:49 am
Just buy from me guys.. All the druglabs will return afterwards lol..
Awesome job on the graphic guys.. But i still miss the drugs!!!
April 21st, 2009 at 11:11 am
As one of the people who complained about Apple and there way of things, I don’t ever want to appear ungrateful. Thanks to the folks at Apple Corp for finally allowing the approval of this game.
Most importantly, thanks to to Andrey and A-steroids for seeing this through. As much as we hated the waiting, they surely must have hated it worse. Got the game up and running around 11:30 P.M. EST and all is a it should be- save for the names:D
Thanks for doing a really stellar job on this game! I have no doubt that it will become a very popular and widely played game.
I Like to Cop-O-Meter!
Peace Out
April 21st, 2009 at 11:43 am
75 UW points to redistribute upgrades? Wouldn’t it be a good service towards the beta-users to give them a discount so they can afford that for the initial 15 points?
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mean to be ungrateful, but isn’t being a beta-tester about trying out the upgrades?
April 21st, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Sounds like a good idea..:)
April 21st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Any one do a theme to get the drugs back yet
April 21st, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Andrey I still have UW DL on my phone if I switch Png files with SD through SSH will the game work like the old 1 with the drugs theme?
April 21st, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Finaly!!!! Thanks a lot, altought the drug theme was better.
April 21st, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Just thought I’d point out that in the Underworld menu, ‘Exchanging’ is missing a C.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Congratz guys!
April 21st, 2009 at 1:07 pm
hells yeah. Cant wait to get to work and start theming this bitch back to drugs. Already noticed there are 8 “commodities” in SweetDeal, maybe some photoshop pro can create a few new drugs for us, I’m thinking OCs and Heroin
April 21st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
SDotOne, thanks, fixed!
April 21st, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Awesome… Thank you guys!
Someone got a 6 hour head start on me, darn…I was checking like every hour last night before bed.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:40 pm
nvm my last comment… looks like 8 old drugs=8 new “commodities”.. haha this is like xmas morning for me!
April 21st, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Great job again guys! I agree with the 75 points to redistruibute. That’s the only thing that costs points that ever interested me, and I was really looking forward to having the free points to redistribute.
I’m surprised a lot of the buying lag is still there. This game is fun once you get it down, but it does have a learning curve. I worried about the mass appeal due to that learning curve. Hope things work out, cause I’m afraid you guys are going to get hammered in the ratings once people start downloading.
Anyway, someone at apple has a sense of humor by approving it on 4/20 :P. I’m just glad to have it back. Hope you guys get a quick start guide up for new people so this game can grow.
@Andrey I did have one question. I never ran into a lot a people on the same map before. This is my big concern with the MMO aspect of this game. If two people on the same map are trying to sell doughnuts, does the junkie buy from both, or does the junkie only buy from the lowest bidder?
If they buy from the lowest bidder, that is more realistic, but it also makes me want less people playing. I don’t want to have to keep having an undercutting fest. I like my setup.
Thanks!
April 21st, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Damn, one day late for happy 4/20, but hell, I’m happy!!!!
April 21st, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Stefan51278 has a great point. 1 hour of police protection isn’t worth it very much, unless you are driving all over creation for 1 hour. Otherwise you are going to get 4-5 deals tops before your time runs out.
Seems the servers only update every 13-19 minutes. Used to vary quite a bit.
April 21st, 2009 at 3:20 pm
xxzone, the junkie will buy from the lowers bidder. At least it’s how they do operate right now.
April 21st, 2009 at 3:40 pm
All Im waiting for is that drug skin. Its hard to take candy seriously. But the graphics are sweet! Nice job with the design fellas even though candy is gay, theres no way apple would of approved drugs so you had to turn to something. Lets all be thankful it wasnt UW:Vegetable Wars!!!!:)
April 21st, 2009 at 3:59 pm
got the old drug PNG files installed, who knows how to edit the text names?
April 21st, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I know most of the game is easy enough to work out, but any news on a guide that explains ‘everything’?
I never played the cydia version, so unsure if i’m doing things right or if i could be doing things better.
April 21st, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Hey everybody. Here is a help document from the previous version of the game. It still references drugs as commodities and doesn’t describe some of new features, but the basics are the same.
New version is going to be published right into the game as soon as possible.
April 21st, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Almost got a winterbord theme ready. includes proper localized strings.
April 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pm
@Albe NICE! I can’t wait!
April 21st, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I like that the junkies buy from the lowest bidder, because it keeps things realistic!
Just as in real life, they’re not going to buy from you, if they can buy across the street for less!
I think this will really help, in the long term, toward making the economy flow as it would in real life.
Bravo. I too, was amused for it to be approved on 4/20.
April 21st, 2009 at 5:29 pm
anyone ever deal much with string localization in winterboard? I am missing something and cant seem to get it.
April 21st, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Oh, and by the way…

I’ve finished most of the drug theme go to the message board and look in general and i’ll should have it up for download soon
April 21st, 2009 at 6:19 pm
The unofficial forum is locked. I can’t join.
April 21st, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Ok I have the Theme ready for Winterboards.
It makes it look and feel like Undererworld: DL
All strings have also been changed to reflect DL version.
What is the best place to load a Winterboard theme.
April 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pm
@TheConfuzed1 it shouldn’t be locked, send an email to the admin see if they can help ericlewis777(at)gmail.com
April 21st, 2009 at 6:38 pm
i want to know as soon as the drug skin is available someone please post further information on where to get it?
April 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
@Escobar(BostnGrge)
I have it ready, buy just need to find a host.
This is a winterboard theme. localized strings also edited.
I am looking to find one now.
April 21st, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Just submitted the theme to BigBoss repo. Should be available in cydia under the BigBoss repo in 24 hours or less.
Enjoy and let me know if you have problems
April 21st, 2009 at 7:12 pm
how do i search for the bigboss repo? how do i go about finding it?
April 21st, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Well Done!!!
April 21st, 2009 at 7:38 pm
why does buying points put another icon on the screen? Can I just delete it?
April 21st, 2009 at 7:55 pm
@Escobar(BostnGrge)
First off. It is still pending at BigBoss, but as soon as it uploaded by them you can download it from their repo.
To add their repo go into cydia and touch on “Manage”
then touch on “Sources” from there you can see all the repos installed. If BigBoss is not installed touch “Edit” then “Add” and enter this “http://apt.bigboss.us.com/repotiles/cydia/”
then touch “Add Source”
This will allow you to see their repo.
Now just wait until they post it up.
April 21st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
thanks man i appreciate the help. Im assuming i search in cydia store packages or app addons? Whats the name of your skin in the search engines?
April 21st, 2009 at 8:03 pm
@Albe Did you figure out a way to edit the name of the product also? If so, can you twitter me @ xxzone to let me know what file it was, or post here, or in the chat?
I looked all over and couldn’t find it, but i am a newb that knows just enough to break things
April 21st, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Zone i think he changed the whole thing to the original or close to it but it hasnt been approved yet thats why you cant find it.
April 21st, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Yeah, I was able to reskin it last night, but I couldn’t figure out how to change the names of the product.
I know we have to wait up to 24 hours for the bigboss repo to add it. Wish we could get a link in the mean time, so I could test it out :).
April 21st, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Albe, wow, that was really quick
April 21st, 2009 at 9:37 pm
? why can’t I post anymore?
April 21st, 2009 at 9:40 pm
@xxzone
check the Message Board site for my post and screenshots. (Link at top of page)
If you guys know how to add a winterboard theme to your theme folder via ssh or ifunbox ect..
You can download the file from there.
But don’t ask how to install, if your not sure wait until BigBoss releases it.
April 21st, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Just got word from BigBoss.
They are packing it up tonight.
April 21st, 2009 at 10:25 pm
nice work Albe, looks great!!!
April 21st, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Just installed the DL theme by Albe and it looks great!!!
April 21st, 2009 at 11:41 pm
to andrey would it be possible to move the candy names from were ever they are hiding into a new .plist file for the beta testers and you need a couple updates its running slower like it has a memory leak plz consider that thanks
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:30 am
When will the points b jailbroken so we can get thm for free
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:44 am
@john LOL idiot
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:59 am
Yes!!!
Finally got UW back!!!
I only had it like three days before the beta was taken offline lol.
I love it. Thanks Andrey! and thanks for skinning it Albe!!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 2:23 am
why cant i find this freakn skin?? where is everyone getting it?
April 22nd, 2009 at 2:54 am
Click on the unofficial message board at the top of these comments. It’s in the general forum.
Or it will be up on cydia later via bigboss repo.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:47 am
I can’t find albe’s theme in cydia :/
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:03 am
It’s up in cydia now. Just need the bigboss repo. Thanks again albe
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:52 am
Yo guys.. It’s awesome you’ve changed it back to DL.. But it still need a few changes with the names.. Kinda weird with a pic of LSD, and then it’s still called Donuts lol.. But guess it’s only a matter of time before you change that
April 22nd, 2009 at 5:46 am
Cheers Albe for your Skin Mate
Works Like a Charm, Top Notch!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:06 am
I mean thanks for putting Audreys Skin up…lol
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:52 am
Thanks Andre and Albe!!!!!!!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 am
Change Names = Perfect!
Who can change it ???
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Thanks Albe!
Could you change the names into the theme? =))
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:54 pm
You kept all the upgrades the same! Now an ice cream truck doesn’t exactly make sense for decreasing attention. (and why it’s more expensive than a rounds schedule I know not)
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:02 pm
@Manuca, @Luis, @Schimmel.
What names are you in reference to changing. The drugs. They are changed on my device and my friends device.
What phone do you have and what Firmware do you have?
Thanks to everyone else who has liked it.
@illmisstheold, I agree to localizing the other string so they can be changed. lets hope andrey can do this for us.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I got an iphone 3g with 2.2.1 firmware.. Jailbroken.. Dunno why i still have the candy names, but drug pictures..
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
the only thing that is wrong with my skin is on the map the names are SD still everything else is great thanks Albe
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
i got iphone 2g 2.2.1, too picz are changed but no text, nowhere
great work so far, i love the drugs theme plz go on
great game,too
or let me say best on iphone
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
we need 2 more things to trade
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
@vapermokey, The names in the map are (from what I can find out) created on the server side. They are not localy stored on our phone, so for now they can’t be changed.
@Schimmel, & @z3r0tw0, Try and download the theme from cydia. You may have grabed the other persons theme they made. (What was the size of the file you downloaded?) Should be 341kb for mine. Check the forms again mine us labeled “Underworld SD back to DL (Winterboard Theme)”
Hope that helps!
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:11 pm
@Albe.. I downloaded my theme from cydia.. Just like u.. So maybe i should just let it go… Doesn’t mætter that much to me..
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
@Schimmel, that’s odd. I have the same phone and firmware as you. This is bugging me. I will have to check it out and see what I can come up with.
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:32 pm
vapermokey, like what?
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Some strings are stored on server indeed. Can’t change them locally: labs & addicts, their shouts, players’ ranks.
April 22nd, 2009 at 5:17 pm
@andrey do you think that is something that could be changed in the future? or atleast have it check locally first to see in there is a file for it and if so use it instead of the servers file?
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Albe, i think this is possible probably, we’ll think about that. But I won’t promise anything right now
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:22 pm
@ Albe–
Everything looks great, except for the on the map screen. A small oversite perhaps?
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Nevermind. I just read your comment about the map screen being generated server-side.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 pm
@albe any chance u could put the same theme for SD 15 points version of the game that’s the only 1 I have
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Not sure I don’t have that version and not sure if the file locations are different. Have you tried the winterboard theme that I put up in BigBoss repo? If that does not work do you know how to use ifunbox?
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:25 pm
What is up with the pricing? Min prices junkies will pay are lower than they have ever been.
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:34 pm
what’s the name of the theme in bigboss repo
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Underworld SD to DL
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:15 am
How do you become a lab owner?
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:32 am
Hey andrey do the junkies not buy off you if the police metre is dangerous? I’ve been holding full stock of waffles and only person with them on the board can you shed some light with regards to this as I’ve adjusted prices and they still won’t buy do I have to buy points?
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:49 am
@albe it ok mate got it sorted got the drugs back ha ha needed a fix was cold turkeying LOL cheers albe for the theme
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:14 am
Stevie, after you have downloaded and launched 15 Points version you can uninstall it from the phone and download the free version to play. Although you will lose conversation & recent deal history, ’cause it is stored locally.
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:14 am
Flea, you can’t.
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:16 am
Stashman, no, the junkies will buy even when the police alert is high. They need the stuff so bad, man Although your price is probably too high if nobody buys it. Try lowering it or go to another area to push it.
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:13 am
Andrey thanks for the quick response maybe I am being over ambitious will drop the value considerably and see if it moves
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:38 am
Super sweet deal.
April 23rd, 2009 at 11:02 am
thanks downloaded SD-DL and all changed back to the way it should be fantastic work albe
April 23rd, 2009 at 11:11 am
i know now why the words aren’t changing in the theme, i think it has something to do with localisation, when i apply the theme with winterboard the names remain the same, but i changed the Localizable.strings file in the underworld app folder manually with ssh now it works
i think winterboard doesn’t do it correct if ur iphone uses a different language than english, im from germany
April 23rd, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Oh.. That sounds like a good reason.. I’m danish, and i still have candy names.. And since i have no freaking idea of how to change strings or whatever, i guess i’ll just have to live with it.. Lol.. I’m seriously a regard with all that modification shit
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
z3r0tw0 im from Spain and i have the same problem, i think that you’re on the right track and the problem with the names is the phone language
Albe could you solve this?
Thanks!
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:23 pm
@ Into–
Check the junkies on the map screen. There may not be one buying what you’re selling.
@ Albe–
I found a possible oversight in your theme-If youclick on ‘Recent Deals,’ and then click to get the details of a deal, it says that junkies are “Sugar Addicts” still.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
@TheConfuzed1, That is correct. That info is generated on the server side and can’t be changed.
@Luis, @Schimmel, @z3r0tw0,
Ok we have found the issue thanks for the info. It’s the different languages. I will try and find out how to fix this.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
@ luis & schimmel
until albe solves the problem u can manually solve it if u have ssh
with ur ftp prog go to /private/var/mobile/applications and then u have to find the right folder. ive done it with the date: search for the date where u installed underworld und put the Localizable.strings file from the theme to the folder
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:07 pm
When you play UW. is the game always in English? or is it in your language?
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Please see forms site. “Translators needed”
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Too bad the UW points are already cracked by some mofos… i guess we will soon see some newbies lvl 20 who will unbalance the game…
April 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Furyku, how do you know that?
April 23rd, 2009 at 5:38 pm
coz i saw them
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 pm
The good part is that a lot of the stuff is server side. they should easily be able to track down people who didn’t purchase the points and kill their accounts/ban their phone. Not a smart crack to use.
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:01 pm
That’s why i warn, hope they can avoid that.
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Furyku, mind sharing the link where you saw the cracked versions?
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I would look over your server and locate the person who has bought all of them. code named “kidmoneys” He is the one who has posted them on this site:
“h t t p : / / a p p u l o . u s / a p p d b /”
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Albe, thanks a lot!
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 pm
I’d tell you but in private, i don’t wanna share this in public and encourage people to get them for free
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:23 pm
It’s not only on the link above :/
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Thanks everyone for the assistance, we are working on this already.
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Also Monkeydoo100 did the 1500 point one also.
April 23rd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Ok, for anyone who can translate My post is ready to be translated. The faster its translated the faster I can release it.
Thanks in advance.
April 24th, 2009 at 5:14 am
Damn cracked points? I worked hard to get where I am hope this can be sorted out
April 24th, 2009 at 5:17 am
Yeah, nice, too bad Apple decided to NOT launch the game in my country… if u see some players from Brazil, be advised that they’ll be using a cracked version.
Fewer players AND no money cause of cracked versions… very well thought
Too bad… it was a great game
April 24th, 2009 at 6:23 am
The game is fun no matter what, yea, sucks cream of the crop might be fucked till they figure out how to kill their accounts, but the game is more YOU buying and selling, not trying to not get caught by police. That is chance after all…
Points are not going to make you a lvl 20 overnight, guess that would take some thought on your part to figure out though.
Great game, I really do love it too much!
April 24th, 2009 at 9:47 am
What are you talking about, with 75 point you can re-upgrade your equipment so 1 lvl gained.
April 24th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
You don’t gain a lvl.
It refunds the money you spent on upgrades to your current level, that’s all.
April 24th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Yeah even with police protection 24/7, it’s still going to take a lot of invested time, and 3 or so weeks of non stop play to get up to 15-16. The points are nice when you get sick of being busted for a while, or you know you are going to buy a lot of product soon, but they aren’t going to make anyone level that fast.
I can confirm the respec is just that, you get to redistribute your points. You don’t gain a level. It’s a sweet feature though, and well worth the 5 bucks for higher levels.
April 24th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
@ Albe
Regarding to your drugtheme on Cydia, is your authroname “almulder” and the size of that file is 324.5kb.
Just trying to make sure i’ve got the right theme, i too have the right skins, but the names are still candy.
April 24th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
thank you, xxzone.
I agree, I am getting up in the levels as well, and since beta, decided to re-spec my guy on there. One of the better $5 I spent to do that.
April 24th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
@SexxyBack, yes almulder is mine. And are using a different language than English? If so this is a known problem and i am working to resolve the issue.
April 24th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Just submitted Ver1.5 of my theme. Should be available by tomorrow. This should fix most issues with Drug Names Not Appearing when your phone is using a different language. Also Themes added for the UW Point packages.
If you have any issues please post in the forms site.
- Albe (AKA almulder)
April 24th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
@Albe
Thnx for the quick reply, i’m looking forward to see 1.5.
Indeed i’m running fw 2.2.1 on a 2G iPhone in Dutch.
Which forms site? Please post a link, if that’s allowed here.

How long can my computer keep running with an outdated browser?. I browser my computer is outdated. However my computer’s little outdated too, and doesn’t have what it would need to run the new browser. Should I start saving up for a new one, or can this problem be dealt with for a few more years yet?. . By the way, I love my computer I don’t want to start over because I love all the programs on my computer..

I truly do agree with all of the ideas you’ve offered to your publish. They’re really persuading and can certainly function. Nonetheless, the actual articles tend to be very short with regard to starters. Could a person make sure you lengthen all of them a little through subsequent period? Thanks for that publish.
