Can I use your image to update the Expedition Alphabet site and use it to justify where the characters come from?

Yes. Help yourself!

Ah yes, that makes sense I think. You are thinking it has replaced those few numbers? Although what about the 5 then? Never seen yet? Can’t be done the same, or it would equal 4. Hmmm

Well, it is not unusual for me to familiarise myself with source :roll_eyes:

Sure, feel free to use it. It is in the source files, called SQUARETEXT.DDS. I just converted it to .png and added a black background to be able to upload here and properly see.

I have a pic for that but am not at my PC. There is a 5 square symbol on the new alloy walls. It has no line under it though

I tried using the alphabet
https://nmscd.github.io/expedition-alphabet/#/alphabet

to interactively decipher

but ran into difficulties because:

  1. The alphabet doesn’t have a blank character representing a space.
  2. I have a 24" monitor. 2/3 of it is for my browser and 1/3 is for other. The alphabet doesn’t completely fit into the 1/3 space.

Finally just printed the character set and worked it by hand.

That is a good point, you can add a space using the space bar in the text bar under the letter pad, but you can ping @KhaozTopsy about it, or drop an issue on the github (Issues · NMSCD/Expedition-Alphabet · GitHub) or hit him up on the discord…however it might be a while before he fixes it, due to some IRL stuff going on right now, he has been away from his computer, and might not get back to if for a few more weeks

Both of those question marks are from the Call 0## poster so they are both numbers, where did we get all of the numbers, as far as I can tell the only ones we should have confirmed are 0, 1, 2, and 3

Edit: We also know 6 from the C.16 on the tarps

Edit 2: Have we considered the numbers system in the expeditions alphabet isn’t base 10?

Apart from some odd ones out, which were not included in the game’s source file, All letters, numbers and some punctuation characters have been found.

Spoiler here

Some mistakes may have been made by the creators, we are not sure.
