ArmA 3: new ARG - Things we know so far.

[ArmA 3: new ARG - Things we know so far.]

This is also part of JQuery Terminal - source code is on GitHub.

Again, BIS did not write that, so its functionality probably isn't relevant to the ARG. All we need to do is figure out the login details.

I know, I know... just thought that if we would look at the code we would might see something we missed.

EDIT:

look at the FTP. Some is trying to be funny?

       // functions change prompt of command line to login to password
       // and call user login function with callback that set token
       // if user call it with value that is true
       function login() {
           var user = null;
           command_line.prompt('login: ');

This is the login function. I bet some of you noticed it, but let's check it again.

Ahhh.. also try CTRL+R. for a sec it activated a reverse search or something like that...

[ArmA 3: new ARG - Things we know so far.]

This is most likely a built-in feature of the JQuery library they're using.

No. They have coded it. check the Dev Console. You can see a function called History (I think it's a class... not so sure).

I'm scanning the code.

EDIT:

try CTR+R... let's try to understand what that feature does.

[ArmA 3: new ARG - Things we know so far.]

I suppose it's nothing, but if you press CTL+P/Up Arrow, you will get the history of what you have written in the username (not sure about PW).

[ArmA 3: new ARG - Things we know so far.]

The FTP server is up again... nothing changed.

(EDIT: If anyone knows what we should do there... maybe communicate with the one behind this ;) ? )

[New ArmA 3 ARG started?]

Wonder who took down the FTP server they used to upload the Alpha testers.

[New ArmA 3 ARG started?]

this ARG will probably lead us to either the alpha or the ArmA 3 release date

Didn't they say they will publish more news about the release date in February when they published Limnos Island name changing?
