I'm stucked in "A Christmas Catastrophe: Let It Snow".
- 2 months ago
The last two characters of the string are the same "<ERROR:57><ERROR:57>"?
What sort of strings do we know about that end with the same character repeated two times? (where that character is not configured with any value currently in the broken code (I'm assuming you have a list of the characters that aren't working, as well as the lengths from the ERROR values?)) ;-)
Thanks for your answer.
The point are this:
The snow map has 17 characters with the same assignation: ''
The decrypted message added to errors related with this faulty assignation is not comprehensive.
what I don't see is how to correct this errors:
Assign bad assigned characters to the missing ones: ie 'a': ' ' * 21, and so...
Or is there any movement in the whole map?
in any case the result doesn't take me anyway (I wrote the number of characters of the faulty):
<ERROR:16>GF<ERROR:48><ERROR:11>Hkg<ERROR:16>G<ERROR:38>s<ERROR:65>WRheX<ERROR:67>gZn<ERROR:25>vb<ERROR:16>B<ERROR:25>bW1l<ERROR:11>nNpd<ERROR:18><ERROR:90>gTGFi<ERROR:11><ERROR:79>4g<ERROR:16>GF<ERROR:30>Z<ERROR:16>Bh<ERROR:44>HRv<ERROR:65><ERROR:30>Vu<ERROR:44>GY<ERROR:30>NDg0Yg<ERROR:57><ERROR:58>
Hmm, that's interesting... when I do something similar, like:
I end up with the following output:
... if you look closely towards the end of that, something jumped out at me that doesn't for your string... are you sure your number of characters are correct?
Which gave me a definite starting point (in terms of what value to substitute), as well as a way of checking whether what I was doing was making sense or not. Then, as my notes say, "Just start swapping things until it makes more sense! ;-p"
