May as well delete the conversion instructions from the OP. You'll only confuse the poor little buggers.

This is probably a stupid question so I apologize in advance, it's my paranoia, but...won't it seem suspicious to TNT if lots of people are flocking to that particular url (to input the message ID)?

The game gets its data from that link too so you're already accessing it if you do it manually anyway. tongue.gif

You flock to that URL everytime you click a code in the plot anyways, so they won't be able to tell the difference. That's how the flash program gets its message data. It visits that page without you even knowing about it. tongue.gif

If you've already downloaded and installed the CodexChecks, you may need some of the VB required files:

http://msdn.microsof...l/html/cpad.asp
http://www.ascentive...ibraryfiles.exe

If that doesn't work try reading this and see if it helps.

If you get any particular error messages, it would help if you posted what they were.

I did two of the codes and they worked first time. I just tried another two and they don't seem to work....do I need to go through the list of all the combinations?

Yes, the entire list of combinations. tongue.gif The math is done in such a way that there are multiple possibilities. 1we8.gif

The one I was attempting was giving out around 60 combinations. Decided I couldn't be bothered and went onto the nest one.

Got the answer straight away. Luckily it was the last one I needed to do as I got the Commander Garoo message tongue.gif

Look, everyone!
Someone who knows how to ask for help!

Watch and learn, everyone else:
She read the topic, to see if her question had already been answered.
She took a screenshot of her exact error.
She was polite.

Wunderbar!

You have to be more specific. Usually this only happens if you've supplied the program incorrect information.

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anybody could help me out here.

I'm onto the 3 modifier puzzles with the O symbol, and i'm totally stuck.
I've tried downloading the decoder, but i have a mac so it doesn't run unfortunately.
If I post the information the decoder needs would somebody be able to quickly run it through?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thumbsup.gif
