Music cipher text in bold
« on: August 25, 2020, 04:46:11 pm »
In latest playthough I noticed parts of the octave key text is now in bold, whereas before there were actual asterisks in the text. If you copy-paste the test, it still shows the asterisks however. It looks like the asterisks are being processed in game now and converting the text to bold? I only bring this up because without the asterisks it makes the puzzle much harder to solve for those brave enough to solve the puzzle by sheer intellect alone

Mickey's keys:


Copy-pasted output

::Mickey

Interval key: minor seventh, perfect unison, perfect fifth.

Octave keys:

Key 1: 6304****74*474737446*4
Key *: 6303****47*7714444774*44
Key *: 6307****771*777647
Key *: 6307****47*743734446*776::

I'm glad you mentioned this.

I got a similar thing: the screen did NOT show the asterisks, but copying with Ctrl-C did show them.

Perhaps this is some kind of markdown bug where the asterisks are denoting boldness. Anyway, I got something similar and I was just dragging my feet on writing it up.

Really need to see those asterisks on the screen! I think it would have been impossible for me to solve the puzzle using the text without asterisks.

This. Replaced * with ?, and all is good now. The glitched out console in Hephaestus also had a similar problem, so I fixed that one as well. If you find more, do let us know.
