could you drop the spam and post only the fucking clues?

You know, Spam sandwiches can actually be pretty tasty. :D

Keep up the good work, fellas. I think pretty soon you'll have the answer - I'm hoping for an Arma 3 coming in 2012! :cool:

Let's go faster by memory:

what date is the important date when something about military occured after 1900?

peace conference?

founding and end of an empire or alliance or group?

beginning and end of a war?

But maybe each important date between has a gap of 3~4 years.

Maybe:

07 peace conference

11 revolution of china

14 ww1

17 revolution of russia

18 end of ww1

21 founding of community party of china

24 death of Lenin

27 founding of PLA

31 September 18th Incident

33 fonding of Hitler regime

37 Japanese invading China

39 WW2

...:confused:

1st September 1939: Germany attacks Poland and beginning of WW2.

[dale0404 5]

April 4 1972... guess what!

It had better show up in the seeker... :p

[LkFp 10]

msy you were correct:

... also "Ten Rules of War" starts here: CE 83 19 ... or "Ten" ...

but it's a bit cryptic... I'm not sure if it's easily decryptable

How did you get "Ten" to be CE 83 19?

[soul_assassin 1750]

hmm found something weird using cheat engine, found the adress entry for month and can succesfully change it to any month except OCT when u input month 10 it sets it to DEC, when i set it to SEP then it jumps straight to DEC at the end of the month, then back to NOV at the next month hmm coincidentally the only found dates so far are also in OCT?

Not a clue, just a warning.

JC: Nailing down the helicopter experience demands a lot of work in terms of adding brand new features, refining more familiar ones, and optimising the game for flying helicopters. The buzzwords circulating around our studios alone goes some way to reveal the extent of the work at hand: picture in picture, increased view- and draw-distance, interactive cockpits, sling loads. But perhaps we’ve said enough for now! In fact, another cool aspect of Take On project is that it’ll allow us to look at improving various aspects of our simulation technology that could potentially be integrated into some possible future games with a much larger scope.

...and...

JC: Take On Helicopters is full-size game and, therefore, we expect it to have price point of a normal full PC game. Plus, we are considering some nice incentives online for our dedicated troops on the ground in Arma 2 that are interested in learning something new.

If they announce - after all this - Take On Helicopter DLC... I will murder 1 kitten every hour until they say they have A3 ready for release.

The kittens will be cute.

The man is serious...

In all seriousness, this COULD turn out to be something for Take On....

Changed some bytes to see if the lettering would come out different, and got lucky. The block looked suspecious.

I follow your advice btw. running quite faster indeed. I wonder how You found that! ;)

My guess would be that it not actually counts up the date but a counter of days since some fixed start date, and that it just calculates a date out of that (there's actual functions in the C library for that). That was changing the date doesn't do anything.

I see.. I managed to find where the string for events is created (address 0x401837) and I assume prior to that at 0x401747 starts decoding of stored data. But that is way over my league. :confused:

Timing was pretty easy to find, just looked where settimer is called. ;)

EDIT: assuming you have opened disassembled uncompressed file...

good find!

You are right about those texts, 2 of them are almost the same length as we found already, ended with 0.

Length of bytes in exe is one byte longer that text we found ("Ten ...").

I think found something like index of showed text (incremented by 16) in memory it is just after minutes and seconds - one byte.

Unfortunately, changing it wont change text :)

Damn, my clock's 4 minutes slower, I was waiting on that.

Found something INTERESTING. At the front page they said they had some numbers #1821 and something about greece. Look what i found on that date..........March 25 (O.S.)/April 6 (N.S.) – Greece declares its liberation from the Ottoman Empire, beginning the Greek War of Independence........ Anyone but me who thinks this migth be a thread?

I do believe that someone mentioned that before.

This thread has quited down pretty fast.

Was just about to say that myself.. Could it be that people are getting sick and tired of this ARG ? Or do they have real life stuff to attend to? I know I do :p

Yep it was spotted. I'll add Greece to the speculation cat.

I for one blame MadDogX's screen counter program thingy. Means we don't have to sit here staring at the Seeker.exe.

[Nicholas 5]

Going through important days in history...

1915 - Armenian Genocide

1917 - Russian Revolution & U.S. Enters World War I

1919 - Treaty of Versailles Ends World War I

[jakerod 254]

Do we have any other hints that we need to find out? Why the names they chose or anything or have we concluded that those don't mean anything?

[PeterBitt 10]

wasnt the thread already at page 450?

how can it happen that pages get lost?

deleted profiles or posts?

iam quite new to this internet and forum stuff ...

[tom3kb 15]

Im tired with this hacking. BIS give us some real info.:)

What's the Z mean?

And yeah, it's getting a bit boring.
