Redshrt2 and Steam
Hey guys im running into a bit of a problem (i think)
Ok so i open up redshrt2.exe via cmd.exe , (redshrt2.exe is located in my e:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/uplink/users/ DIR, fyi)
i type in
redshrt2 -d MERLiN.usr MERLiN.hex
everything goes good (i think) and says this.
Redshrt2 command line utility
Decrypting file: MERLiN.usr....done
Now heres the problem. When i look inside my
e:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/uplink/users/ DIR i dont see a new file created with the extension .hex - it seems nothing has been created at all.
Picture of this below.
So this is where im confused at, because w/o a *.hex file being created i have nothing to load into a hex editor to change values etc... Anyone ever ran into this before? Maybe know a fix? Or see something i've done wrong?
Thanks to all the replys in advanced - MERLiN

Unless you're just trying to say that redshirt 2 didn't decrypt it.
I understand hex editors dont need files w/ a *.hex ext. And im aware i could just change the .usr ext to .hex if i wanted to.
And im not sure if im saying redshrt2 didnt decrypt it or not, thats my problem, Whenever redshrt2 decrypts a file is it supposed to create a new file named *.hex? or does it decrypt the file and doesnt change the .usr ext and thus making a need for a manual re-name of the ext? That is my question.
Could you help me out?
Perhaps the redshirt2 decryption program only likes to output files with a *.usr extension? Also, have you tried searching your computer for said *.hex file? Perhaps it outputs the file to the C drive if you don't include an address in the output parameter?
EDIT: Yeah, I misread the post at first, hence my first - irrelevant, and now deleted - reply.
EDIT 2: Does it actually take an output parameter? Have you checked that it hasn't just decrypted the original *.usr file?

Yes, I have ran a search on all my HD's for *.hex and nothing came up at all.
Is there a way to specify a output DIR param in the syntax of redshrt2? If so do you know this param?
If you want to better know what im trying to do here, there is a guide im trying to follow located here.
EDIT 1:
How would i go about checking that?

Code: Select all
How to get a 10 digit credit sum in your bank account. This is
what you need:
- A program called "redshirt2"
- A hex editor of your choice.
- Put the redshirt2.exe file to your 'users' directory
- install Hex Editor
- Now go to the DIR in CMD and run this command
redshrt2 -d (your username in the game).usr (your username in the
game).hex
- Now start Hex Editor and open your *.hex

frenchfrog has suggested that it does the decryption 'in place' - i.e. it alters the original file, rather than writing to a new one. This is essentially what I meant by that question. After you've used redshirt 2 on it, try opening the original file in your hex editor.
Sorry for drudging this topic up, but, where can you get redshrt2? I have redshirt2 which is used for darwinia. When you do a plain conversion to a .hex, you do not get anything significant, pretty much just something that says redshrt2 (random letters, numbers, and ...'s) I've tried a million and six different ways to decrypt my usr file but it hasn't worked. Any news on this subject?

This thread is one of five that come up if you search these forums for redshrt2. The second-to-last post by frenchfrog contains a redshrt2.exe, which I'm guessing will work.
Here is my signature. Make of it what you will.

Additionally, as a point of information, the phrase is "I couldn't care less." To say "I could care less," implies that you do care some amount. If the scale of caring goes from zero to ten, then when you say that you could care less, you imply that you care some amount greater than zero, up to and including ten. We don't know how much you actually care, but you do care. When you say that you couldn't care less, you care so little that your caring would be a zero on the scale, i.e. it is impossible for you to actually care any less. Learn to get it right.
