Couldn't figure it out its incomplete..

Sorry but I gotta throw in the proverbial towel. It's 3:30am and I gotta get up soon. Good luck everyone! I'm really really glad I was actually able to help.

The barcode reads "findawayshowthetruth". It reads top to bottom so I took one vertical row and rotated it 90 degrees counter clockwise and stretched it and adjusted contrast to make it more readable. Similar to the newsletter.

3 hours in and you guys have already worked out a majority of it! Impressive stuff!
So we still need to work out the Arrows on the left hand side, and the large square of squares? Maybe the arrows are for degrees ranging from 0-360? Also, would people like me to compile a collage of everything you guys have worked out thus far? |
Attached a "so far" image. Seems all that's left are the arrows. I wonder if we're missing something big from before? All the decodings seem to be catch phrases as opposed to new URLs or files.

By the time I uploaded a video telling folks about the ARG, you guys already solve most of it.
I tip my hat to you good sirs and madams |

Tweeted the info to Oddworld Inhabitants on Twitter. They liked my tweets. Looks like we're on the right track!
|
I'm glad I managed to work out the morse code one alone before coming to this forum, also not sure if someone already mentioned this already, it's a small detail but the Dump Dots below all the social media stuff on the bottom right says "Spread our message" nothing too big but still.

"Know your codes" scares me. I hope someone has all this stuff written down somewhere.

I measured the angles of the arrows and found:

Edit: http://i.imgur.com/8sHUxNV.png 310 320 210 330 310 320 I also attempted to do the 'possible horizontal barcode' but didn't get any results. Then again, I haven't tried the known barcode, so it could be my method that is wrong. Edit: I tried the known barcode and didn't get any results either - my method is bad. |
Great idea Vince, I don't think any of us had thought to check their angles

http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Soulstorm_ARG Still need to update the latest findings tho. |
Well shit. The one day I'm super busy this week it kicks off.. :D won't be able to get involved really until Saturday earliest, good luck guys. I have a window now to catch up so I'll read through :P my first thought was the pigpen might be upside down Xav, because of that picture in the last phase that had it flipped, glad to see you got it :P keep going everyone
|
Found this online, think the arrows refer to how far we need to shift

I now wonder if I was onto something last time, remember I found BETH hidden in the text? Never thought it could translate to B THE |

This stuff is worse than my biology homework.

Ha, Vince you beat me too it! :p Except my measurements are a little different?:
290 220 270 280 160 110 180 310 140 310 ------ 310 320 210 330 310 320 This is assuming conventional azimuth measurements. In the image I've included what the results would be if based on the layout of a circle protractor (assuming 0 is up), just in case! If this is heading in the right direction, what do we do with these numbers? |
Hexadecimals, like on the film the martian, where he uses the arc of the camera on pathfinder to talk to earth. Could these arrows be fed into a system like that?

I tried Using Octal, ¸pHÈ`ÈÈЈØÈÐ

I hope its ok to share this (ill edit this post from now on with updates)
This is what I was getting at earlier https://pbs-0.twimg.com/media/C3sJVH2UMAMoIqR.jpg I took the degrees the arrows could be pointing from the other users and try to decrypt using it I got, () notes a either letter EJFE(F)N(O)RMCPC EBKBEB Quippup says it Means Alterpiece Or Checklists Other Stuff Barcode Image for people to use https://pbs-0.twimg.com/media/C3sQFPdVUAEyX9f.jpg Arrow Image https://pbs-0.twimg.com/media/C3sLteoUcAIVlJK.jpg |

There seems to be a faint line next to the arrows. Perhaps in a hint on how to orient them?
edit: Here is the horizontal barcode cleaned and isolated. But a regular barcode scanner doesn't seem to make much sense of it. Perhaps parts are missing or we only need to look at an isolated segment. I tried inverting the code as well but no luck so far. http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1486073161 |
The PIGPEN have to be rotate of 180 ° to see the message.
PS i solved It Just a few ago |
It looks like it's all about angles this time. I guess I cannot help now but when I can I'll shout.

:
The best thing to note though is that we both found them to be EXACTLY (almost up to the decimal) on quantities of 10. I will update my initial post as well. |
Isolated barcode after rotating cube 90 deg CCW. Scanner does not detect a barcode however I believe this is because there are horizontal and vertical slices "taken out" or shifted. Thus the challenge is discerning intentional gaps from shifted gaps, then (in theory) it should scan.

Couple of questions:
Has anyone else noticed that two of the initial "binary" symbols are now missing? And what are people using to decipher the barcode? |
After messing with the barcode for hours, I found out that barcodes always start and end the same, this one was missing the first bar that makes up the Start Code.
So I've ended up with a link. http://www.1029.io/repository/asset98/ But it's an empty page... |
So, barcode translate into numbers... and they said about "read the numbers,.know.the truth"
https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...7zmOoCbq7d95Dw Maybe we need to invert the colors |
:
The only translated barcode we've had produced a mash of random letters: "Ivzw gsv mfnyvih pmld gsv gifgs" Which is translated into: "Read the numbers know the truth" Never a URL. Please don't make stuff up... Edit: Expect the fact that he didn't make stuff up! He went and worked the whole thing out! |
