The Return of Dr Sloth (split 4)

[Pickles]

Zorgipoo, that is a great find

You deserve many hugs

I just wish it worked for the later ones. {still hasn't managed to crack second "7-symbol" code}

Hello folks! I have lurked a lot for awhile now, but I thought I would mention that I am taking screenshots of each of the messages I figure out. I can upload them to photobucket and give you all the links when I get them all done. I am pretty close, just still working on the 3 modifier messages.

Most interesting message so far:

Carv--don't leave the shop, just hide in back if you can. Sloth's minions have invaded the station, and they've taken over the main concourse. I have to go, they're comi--

[Ange]

Thanks! That's a good idea.

EDIT: Got a second 3-mod. Definitely use that chart...makes a HUGE difference.

[Pickles]

FINALLY! Thought I'd NEVER break that one!
Another Military Comms one:

My Lord, The main docking bay and civilian concourse are secure. We are proceeding into other areas. Soon the station will be ours. -Commander Garoo

Edit: if anyone happens to find a chart of the 3-mod ones WITH the 7th variable, I'd be extremely grateful to know where I can find it!

[Tachi]

I honestly don't see how you guys are using that chart. It's got every combination on there, sure, but.. I'm not seeing how you match it up with yer codes. >>;

[Ange]

I use the last symbol.

Match the last symbol from your key with the section on the chart that corresponds to it (leftmost column).

Then, look at your target symbol. Scroll through the chart, looking at the RIGHTMOST column, until you see the symbol you need. See the three symbols in the middle? Those are the ones needed in the modifiers to make that result.

Start pluggin 'em in, and it's trial and error from there.

Sorry, but that's the best I can explain it.

The chart seems to be missing a symbol...my poor brain is hurting.

The chart seems to be missing a symbol...my poor brain is hurting.

There's two different sets of 3-mod codes.
One has 6 symbols (which is what the chart is for), the other has 7 (currently no chart).
The chart will NOT work for the 7 symbols ones (the 7th symbol looks like a bullseye with ears).

Edit: there appear to be 5 of each type of code:
5 - 1 mods - Space Weather Reports
5 - 2 mods - Civilian Traffic
5 - 3 mods (with 6 variables) - Maintenance Reports
5 - 3 mods (with 7 variables) - Military Comms

Hope that clears things up a bit.

I'm going to finish the last of the 6-variable ones, and leave the other 3 7 variable ones I have left until tomorrow. It's getting late.

[Daze]

I have my first 3 done, many thanks to the petpage listed.

[Rubywinged]

man i cant seem to get the hang of doing the 3 missing. maybe I should wait till tomorrow...... this is just horrid.

[Pink]

I can't even get past the 2-mod ones...

[Ange]

I think I just broke it!

Anyone else having problems loading?

[bettywales]

One more 6-variable to go, then on to the 7-variable messages. That's for tomorrow though. I'm going to bed! Thanks for the chart for the 6-variables. It really helped!

Yup, bedtime for me. only 2 1/2 of the 7-variables left (I went ahead and tried the combos that I already had written down from the last two).
I'm hoping by tomorrow some kind person will have come up with a chart for the 7-variable ones! If mine wasn't chicken-scratch on paper, I'd post it - but it's not complete. Ah, well.

Good luck to all and good night!

Edit: what the hey?! I just left the codes and went back...and got this:

Gorix: We've got it! They're putting all the civilians onto transport shuttles.
Cylara: That must be where my family is! We've got to go rescue them!
Resistance Leader:The Cybunny scout is there, too. She's the priority. Now get going, before it's too late!

TO BE CONTINUED...

I hadn't even finished the last three puzzles...I guess the other 3 are irrelevant?
Ah well.

[Ange]

Oh really? Lucky! When you aren't going to bed, maybe you could post all the messages you decoded in a spoiler?

I'm kicking myself for starting this one, because I said I'd go to bed after it...figures, it's taking me the longest to solve.
