so, how are going about this?

[Goober5000]

It's hilarious that whilst everyone tried my ICQ, nobody thought of trying my MSN .  I just decided to start reinstalling the SCP and found this thread!

Sorry to actually be no help, but I can't actually 'remember' the password.  It was password protected because the thing was being sent to testers.

I'll have a sit down and work on it (damn, its been years since I even thought about this )

Awesome!  Welcome back, dude!  (I joined after your time, but it's always great to get a blast from the past.)

I don't think your MSN was on your profile (it wasn't when I checked just now).

The ZIP archive has a bunch of stuff that looks interesting.  A story outline, for one.  You can view the contents even if you can't actually extract them.

Inferno has a Perseus 2.  Is this what Dark made, or is it a different take on the same concept?

[Titan]

is that INF SCP? it looks awesome.

[Mobius]

That's an upgrade of the original Perseus ADv but the shape is pretty much the same

[Bob-san]

Well, the music was nice, the Perseus 2 was sorta cool (although Dark may have released that a while back when the team fell apart) and the demo mission sorta worked, but this was made about 7-8 years ago whilst I was crashing and burning during my A-levels.

I'm actually worried about what i'll find if I managed to open the zip file

edit:  Ok, i've tried cracking it ARCHPR but that couldn't guess it and i'm drawing a blank on the password - it's just too long ago.

Call it a long shot, but Dark (if he's still around) might have the Perseus model file.

Hey--welcome back. Any chance you can give us a lead on what it could be? I mean more like what characters you used to use on it, how long the password is (or a small range), or better yet a piece of plaintext. If you get into contact with your old testers you may also be able to figure the password out. Anything you have, we likely can use.

[phreak]

or maybe he just has the files elsewhere so we don't need to unencrypt the zip anymore.

[Bob-san]

That's an even better scenario, but I doubt it.

Inferno's version has extra gunpods at the bottom, which is a stupid idea IMO.

Dark's version IIRC had 8 guns, the normal 4 plus 4 more on the extra dorsal missile thing.

Hi sorry guys, just got back from final test. So Im now a Policeman 

If/When the file is cracked I think Goober or another suitable candidate should keep a copy of the password cracked files.

Worst case scenario we have some nice music for the community to use.


Griffon, I remeber the readme etc vaguely, it was a few plot outlines, and a few big gaps. I know you had the "grand plan" in your head.....is it still there per chance?


Thank you all very much for your help and support with this!!

Police officer!

[Droid803]

Well, if Star-Epock is male, the term Policeman actually applies.
Police officer is used to talk about the profession in general, because it includes both policemen and policewomen.

That's how it is, right? 

[Snail]

Me was quoting Hot Fuzz. There's quite a few vocab jokes in the movie:

Policeman/Policewoman/Policeman Officer = Police Officer
Police Force = Police Service
Car Accident = Traffic Collision (because accident implies there's no one to blame)


Anyhow, what other things by Dark are in Temporal Mechanics, or only the Perseus 2?

You've tried using some default text from the .FS2 mission files?  Try these if you haven't

Plaintext refers to unencrypted files inside the archive. Complete files are what is necessary--then Passware Zip Key can basically instantly retrieve the password.

How about using sexp for a password?

[haloboy100]

[blowfish]

[Griffon-UK]

That looks just like Darks original model with fancy bits.  Possibly worth contacting the person who made the alterations to see if they have the reference model to hand and bingo!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

...or maybe some weapon names?
