sudo cp otp /usr/bin/otp
sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/otp
rehash
Now you can just type 'otp'.

That's why you explicitly have to say that otp is in the current directory (by using "./command").

Oh! This is useful. Being able to set a "path" would help a lot. (Now that I'm on a Mac I am out of the habit of arranging my directories for this sort of thing <g> ).
Thanks.

Ha! Ain't that the truth.

Yes, but it doesn't matter ... it's not like there's anything particularly secretive there. (Unless I missed something?)
Anyway, thanks for the clue, that got me in.

Thank you. Got it now. It astonishes me sometimes how easy it can be to miss the obvious, even when dredging around in the obscure.
I'm still not having much luck putting the pieces together. Too many darn pieces and none of them seem to connect! Rats.

yeah.. i got otp to work with one file, then no more.. the spacing of the bytes just wont work out, and now whenever i try to do anything (even with those two files, rimg12 and pages 22-23) all i get out is a file that has FFFFFFFFFF in it. weird. one thing is that you have to get rid of one more byte from the encoded filed past the ONETIMEREDSHIRT chunk, delete it and the byte after it in all the encoded files.

I'd been fiddling with removing the space after ONETIMEREDSHIRT but have yet to successfully achieve anything but a decrypt file with zero bytes. If I ran otp with the wrong password, I'd expect to get gibberish, not blankness. It makes me wonder if I'm setting up the otp.dat file incorrectly.
Re one file ... when using otp for security, the idea is to use each otp password only once, and then move onto the next generated one. Perhaps you are supposed to somehow use the first one to generate the next ones?
I haven't played around with the "list generating" parts of otp yet.
Which one file were you able to do?
The only file I feel I've managed something even vaguely successful was the music file, and I get the feeling I'm only part-way there with that. Anyway, that was REDSHIRT, not otp.

If you look in the uplink extras, in the directory "book2" there is a file book2.html. That codish looking text comes from there, right after
Quote
from book2.html:
**
BOOK II, Gamebible continued.
Book II is located on this CD in the book2 directory. You'll also find a readme.txt file, detailing how to find Book III.
You didn't think it was going to be easy did you?
**
As far as I can tell, Book1 of the gamebible is only available from introversion, if you buy a hard copy of the game. In this thread, we've been working out how to get to book2 and book3. So far, I haven't had much luck. All the other files in the book2 directory are encrypted.
I have managed to decode both the world.dat file and my usr file. Some interesting results there, but nothing earth shattering. I'm still working on it.
If you're interested, the first thing to do is to open files from the game, and the extras using Notepad, or some other text editor. If you see plain text at the very beginning of the file ... Hmmmm.

I forgot to come back and thank you for this, it worked perfectly.
I also tried to lookup those commands, to see if I could figure out what exactly I was telling the computer to do, another entertaining task <grin>.

Haha. Ok, Here we go:
sudo cp otp /usr/bin/otp -- sudo (use root privs) cp (copy) otp (the file) /usr/bin/otp (to here as otp) (all files in /usr/bin/ are executable by just typing their name)
sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/otp -- sudo (use root privs) chmod (change privileges) 777 (full access / lets you execute it) /usr/bin/otp (the file we are chmodding)
rehash -- makes new files in /usr/bin/ active for execution

Ah ha! I got only about half of that on my own, and the chmod info I found didn't cover 777. Besides which I couldn't fine any /usr/bin directory on my Mac. (Is it Hidden??)
Anyway, the otp program now appears to work so I ought to be able to work out the encryptions in the game bible. Slowly. But only on weekends (or else I stay up too late and am very groggy the next day <grin>.
Thanks again.

It's hidden from the finder, but not from the command line. You can get to it by typing "cd /usr/bin".
------------------
It's been far too long since I fiddled with this. Has anyone here managed to decode book2?
I hereby confess that I did shell out the extra bucks (yes I am a fanatic, thankyouverymuch) and bought the Introversion disc so I could get book1. And it took me awhile to undo that, because the stinkers changed the password. But I finally got it.
