Okay, so before I rip my hair out, am I understanding that the program is not working on the 3 mods as of right now?

Correct, here's my method though while you're waiting.

I'll explain how to do the maths in case somebody else wants to make a program to do it while they're waiting. tongue.gif

First, you translate your keys into numbers:

So ABCD would become 1234 and GDBCAFD would be 7423164 etc

Then you add each corresponding character to each other in the keys.

So if we have the keys:

DBCD
BBDC
BCDA
CBDB

They would be:

4234
2243
2341
3242

And added vertically:

4+2+2+3 = 11
2+2+3+2 = 9
3+4+4+4 = 15
4+3+1+2 = 10

Now we see how many different characters we have in our modifier keys:

In the case above it's 4 (A,B,C,D).

So we work out what the remainder is when the numbers above are divided by 4.

4*2 = 8. 11-8 = 3
4*2 = 8. 9-8 = 1
4*3 = 12. 15-12 = 3
4*2 = 8. 10-8 = 2

So 3,1,3,2 would become

CACB which would be the final result of the encoding. So you just need to do this for every combination and see which one comes out as the right result.

lmao, Laser, you're such a tit sometimes.
The inbuilt converter you made converts the references the wrong way xD
You have an output of 4 -> 7, instead of 7 -> 4.
4 should convert to 17

Laser, why do you fail at being on MSN?
I could have told you way easier

Blame Kitsune, she told me to convert it in the first place.

Bah, no blaming me Not my fault you fail at reading right to left

You failed at writing from left to right!

What kind of an excuse is that

Do you thing Joe

[Waser Lave]

Yep, new part of the plot. You have to move around a board and try to get to a door without them catching you first.

Basic instructions/links are up.

Curse my randomly-stricken-with-horrfying-slowness internet connection xD

[tastyphoxette]

ALSO:
For those of you who haven't finished the Decoding:

While you can, you really should read the little information blips they give you. You can get some pretty tasty nuggets of nostalgia.

Like this one:

"Station Security Update: Ignore previous alert. There is nothing to worry about. All mysterious ships in the docking bay are hereby considered authorized and may come and go as they please. Everything's fine, we're all fine, here, now, thank you."


All it needed was a "How're you?"

Lol Star Wars <3

[Sweeney]

Whee!
Level three was a bit of a bitch

[dotnetex]

my advice ...knock em all out, its too much trouble to try to by pass all of em,

So... How long is this piece of shit plot going to go on? I want to be able to view the forums and post in peace. >

Damn you Gayser Wave.

Well we're past the hard bit now so it should improve over the next 24-48 hours as more and more people solve their puzzles.

We get popular again

[Hawk]

We get popular again

The problem with getting popular is they don't post unless its to bitch about how it isn't working or to say thank you. Thats it. No more. Basically, we've got 80+ people mooching off of here that we will never see again, using up bandwidth for no reason. They are choking off those of us who are normally here for their own benefit. In other words, they are selfish bastards. And I'm no better than them because I'm bitching because I can't view the site how I normally would.

Sorry Hawk. It will get better, this will probably only last a day or two and that's it, lol.

You have to speculate to accumalate as the saying goes

Finished the 3rd part of the plot. It was actually quite enjoyable...not like the code crap

[Trix]

This new part is a bitch, the moving goes too slow if you ask me, but its not... hard. Eh, I'm glad its not insanely complicated like the last part.

[Rikku]

The last step is so much easier then the codes from yestarday. Room #4 is the trickiest one, #5 is pretty easy, only died 3 times in it. And it took me half an hour to post this thanks to all of the lag and the continuous error messege popping up.... *snipes leachers*

[Tailwind]

I managed to get through the newest step fairly easily. Squashing the soldiers was amusing to say the least.

Bum rushing towards the door works well too. XD

[Jenna]

update on the plot. - least some new comic
