ralkeon: Are we sure there is really space? Check the image. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...ram-twitter-posts.557207/page-60#post-8773878

you mean the space after the "Y." right? I'm not sure too...

Ignore me. I saw some draft version of your post where was space between "E67-:" and "FS63". Now everything is correct

Yes, sorry I realized I was copy/pasting wrong things XD I correct them

but I'm still not sure if there's a space after that Y.

 

[StuBaDub]

Thanks for the feedback. Fixes have been applied. I've left the space after the "Y".

The odd transcription error shouldn't matter in a cipher as decryption will still produce a mostly recognizable string.

yep you're right StuBaDub!
Btw my only concerns are the "WEST" part and the 42.1LY : The west part is translated in the other languages, so probably is not a full encoded string . What do you think guys?

 

[pnellesen]

I think it's all just random gibberish made to LOOK like some kind of supersekrit encryption, lol.

There's been mention that FDev have "corrected" the difference in the French version. But I haven't actually heard from anyone who has E in French that this is true.

 

[Vetinari]

a lot have moved over to this thread, all the screenshots are on there and iirc someone has posted the revised French version with WEST

Edit: This thread even

"The Stones"

See, when she mentions the cage I'd be willing to bet that she's talking about something like a Faraday Cage. E: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage Didn't the logs mention about it breaking out of the cage though?

Could it be that we have to remove characters from the message to get the right meaning ? Applying a mask to it could reveal a set of characters and the actual message.
Parts of the message being clear points in that direction.
Could the high lighted 1's and 0's in the binary message pointing to coalsack be used ?
I didn't check the size of the all the two but if we organise the LP message in the same way as the binary table, the highlighted spots will give a selection within the message.

Anybody already checked that ?

 

[Vetinari]

yeah theres a difference in the number of characters apparently so doesnt transpose over the top.

theres no obvious word to remove

We get a lot of names in the log, havent done much with them yet

 

[CMDR XxHybridFreakxX]

Has anyone layed the binary image over the LP code? Maybe the highlighted binary portions cover the portion of the LP code we need?

Different number of characters for that to fully mask anything.

 

[Seingalt]

The different number of chars isn't crucial. If the mask is too small, the end can either be 0's or 1's. So not much of a complication
If the mask is too long, it covers the full lenght of the message so...

Having "long" as characters separated by 7 spaces seems interesting and could go well with the series of 8 bits...

If it were the same length there would not be much chanlenge, would there ?
There also could be a common matrix size that would fit.

I am no expert but these hightlights are only one of the few pieces of the puzzle we haven't exploited and the LP message is one of the only messages that we don'y actually get yet.

 

[StuBaDub]

Yeah, I've tried applying the binary as a mask quite a few different ways already. I've also tried using the binary as a variety of key types for the code and vice versa.

I have uncovered a number of techniques to successfully transform the code from gibberish to gobbledygook.

 

[M_Biscotti]

While not having the slightest idea about a possible code.
Did you also notice that

• there are 33 ascii codes, and so 32 + space so 5 bits codable chars + space
• the code can be "squared" in a 31x6 table

So we're making progress!!!!

I can probably get it from nonsense to plain text so if we can just find the missing links between gobbledygook and nonsense we are there me thinks. How hard can it be?

We need to get Deep Thought working on it...
