I thought the order of the prefix mattered towards what category of each mod used, ie first letter = main, 2nd letter = backup, 3rd = specialty. Is that not actually the case?

That's not the case. But we got all of the mods we can read, at this point.

OK. I was under the impression that was how it worked, which led me to be every frustrated after I did all of the combinations for the PCV taht I thought were allowed. Thankfully we've got them all now, my help or not.

Dun think so. Then we'd just be at it again and again and again.

Unless, of course, we did a poor job of sabatoging.

edit: sabotaging*

I think it's just the PMs way of letting us know that it's working

The question is: is it working or has it worked already?

In other words, do we need to continue to get people to sabotage (those that haven't already)?

I haven't yet done any "sabotage" - just logged in to get access to the messages and things - mainly because I have absolutely no idea where to go from here. [laughs] But if anyone who's already successfully sabotaged something thinks of a solution for one of the (few) remaining ones, feel free to PM or e-mail me and I'll get in and try it.

Ok, here is one to try. I have a script that generates all the possible combinations given specific inputs, so here is the next one.

Given this report entry:
Quote:
XXXXXXDE //::….:VELOPED QU//::...SI-BOTS QU//::...SI-BOTS BBY:
ONE ///XXDROP AN::...D RAD//IOA
ONE NE BL:::….UENE //BLUENE B

we know that the Connects are BLUE and the Supply is RADI. My script did the rest. 96 possible combinations. I'll attach the file. I suggest printing it out and crossing them off as you attempt them.

I hope thats the last of them, because the only thing left in the reports are two very generic ones: Agility/Supply/Motor and Motor/Processor/Agility. Each generates 216 possible combinations. Ouch. If anyone wants the list to attempt them let me know.

lists

Have the lists changed in the pb848 modification records? I no longer see the generic ones. Could someone verify this?

None of the configurations in your list worked for me Sad . I guess I could have done something wrong, but they were all rejected.

Just verified tapjeep's attempt from "C-BLUE S-RADI V-HNV" to "P-CLA S-RADI C-BLUE" on Stormalong's list (working backwards, on the assumption that tapjeep worked forwards and any mistakes would be made at the end, from tiredness). None of those work. Will come back and try the rest later, if nobody else gets there first.

Damn, I must have interpreted the report wrong. Sorry guys.

Frankly I was a little worried about it, as it says "ONE" a couple times, and "MOD" doesn't seem to show up like in all the other reports. Anyone have a guess about what it might be saying?

Ok, well, here are the two generic ones from report 4.A.

Quote:
DEVELOPED QUASI-BOTS BY:
MXD TO AGXXXTY,:::….// SUP//XLY AND MXX//:::...OR

XXXPED QUIAXXXBOTS BY:DEVELOPED QUASI///:::..-BOTS XX:
MO/// D T //O M///OTOR, P:::...ROC:::...ESSOR, A:::…XXLITY

Even corrupted, I think these two are pretty clear.
MOD TO AGILITY, SUPPLY AND MOTOR
MOD TO MOTOR, PROCESSOR, AGILITY

I'll attach the combinations for both of them, in case anyone wants to attempt them.

I really hope these work, or I'm going to feel like a real jerk.
