Find your deer's true name! (or: How Pictograms work)

September 2, 2010 - 1:40am — Unplugged

Just crossposting this from AlisonRobin's awesome post about Pictographs because I don't know how many actually bother to read through comments.

While trying to find out the system behind Pictograms some months ago I learned some interesting stuff about them.

http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/pictogram.php?username=Soer
This is my picto. This way most people link their Pictograms.

Now when I went to look at the source code of that page it led me to following page:
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/symbol.swf?word=LXsv
It shows the pictogram the same way, but the link is different. Instead of going on the .php site which contains the .swf file from the picto, I went directly to the .swf file.

The interesting thing is the ?word=LXsv. It defines the picto.
See what happens if we change a letter of this word:
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/symbol.swf?word=LXev
?word=LXsv to ?word=LXev
One of the glyphs changes, and now we got ArrowDoe's picto!

Let's take this one step further. I'll be borrowing Verycrazygirl's picto.
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/pictogram.php?username=Verycrazygirl
Check the source code and we get this:
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/symbol.swf?word=FXlt
?word=FXlt is the "name" of VCG's picto. Even though it looks similar to Arrow's and my Picto, it only shares one part, the X as second letter.

Through this we can find out that every Pictogram is made of 4 different glyphs.

I also went further and noted that each of those four "spots" can have 1 of 15 different glyphs:
first letter: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO
second letter: PQRSTUVWXYZabcd
third letter: efghijklmnopqrs
fourth letter: tuvwxyz01234567

These are not case sensitive, so if you put "e" instead of "E" as first letter you will still get the same result, but if you put a "P" (or "p") there, the pictogram will "move".

There are only small differences when looking at a Gen2 Pictogram.
Let's take my picto Coordinate.
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/pictogram.php?username=Coordinate
If we take a look at its source code, we'll get following:
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/symbol2.swf?word=1Jan0
We can see that it's not called "symbol.swf" anymore, but "symbol2.swf".
Also we have ?word=1Jan0, which seems to have a fifth glyph added, but it doesn't. You got an extra "1" at the beginning. ((I don't know exactly what it does because if you change it nothing happens, but removing it makes the picto move))
Changing the word to "1Jan1" will give us this, so the glyphs and their spots work the same way as Gen1 Pictos.

Now go forth and find your deer's true identity!

I've found an easier way to find your deer's true name:

-Open TEF.
-Log in.
-Click something else in the menu.
-Go back to Network.
-Where it should say "Welcome!" It should say your deer's true name.

My sister's picto code:

My sister's picto code: 1FRm5
So I guess...Ifram? My sister just looked at it, and she doesn't like it. She'll be sticking with 'Artemis'.

My deer's picto code: 1GXk3
So...Igex? Igex...That's actually kind of cool. A whole lot more unique and interesting than 'Corvi.'

Had to go the roundabout way

Had to go the roundabout way to reconstruct this, but does anyone know if this picto is taken? I found it once while searching through pictograms with the generator, but I didn't grab it and now I'm regretting it. So I'd just like to know if it's taken and if I should quit looking for it in the generator.

OMG I found a new way to find out your name! If you go in the game, login (If you haven't already) and go to network and look under your password. It will have your symbol off to the side and across from that is your name! (I guess) But learning how to decode pictograms is a brilliant idea and I'm glad someone has figured a way to understand them...well at least for this game XD ^^
