On the Subject of Easier-to-understand Tech Support

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

• When this needy activates, one of the modules on the bomb will break down, indicated by a yellow status light. You cannot interact with this module.
• Note down the error code, the line and column of the error, and the source file in which the exception occurred.
• Use that information to determine the correct software version, patch file, and patcher launch parameter.
• Use button 0 as confirm, 1 as up, 2 as down.
• A strike is given when incorrect information is given or the needy timer runs out. If the needy timer runs out then the broken module will be rebooted.

Selecting the Software Version

Use the exception’s error code and source file to determine the correct software version, using the table below.

Selecting the Correct Patch File

Follow instructions listed below to determine the correct patch file.

• If the error’s source file is either satcle.bb or equely.ctl, select exed.asc.
• Otherwise, if the source file’s number of vowels is equal to or greater than the number of consonants, or the column index is higher than the line index, select faee.sup.
• Otherwise, if the source file’s first letter is in the last third of the alphabet, select prle.cba.
• Otherwise, if the less than 99 seconds is still available and the column is higher than 75, select linion.dart.
• Otherwise, if the error’s line and column are both even, select razcle.pxi.
• Otherwise, if any of the error code’s letters are contained in the crashed source file’s name, select wane.drf.
• Otherwise, if this is the fourth or later crash and the cumulative line number of all previous errors is over 450, select gilick.pxd.
• Otherwise, select faee.sup.

Selecting the Correct Launch Parameters

• Split the error code (the 6 characters after 0x) into 2 groups of 3. Convert letters into their alphabetic position.
• Add every numbers in the groups together. Refer to these sums as A and B.
• Multiply A with the line of the error, multiply B with the column of the error. Take the difference between those numbers, drop the negative sign. Call this number C.
• Convert C and the product of A and B to binary. Append 0s at the beginning of the shorter number. If they’re equally long, do nothing.
• Perform an XOR operation on the aforementioned binary values to get a new binary number. Convert this to decimal, modulo 8, add 1, and use the corresponding parameter.

See table in the next page.

Parameter index (calculated number)	Parameters
1	-n -k -g
2	-d -h
3	-b -q -k
4	-x -m
5	-w -t
6	-o -v -l
7	-t -z
8	-f -m -i

Example:

Error code 0x10C62B at line 132, column 87

• Splitting error code into 10C, 62B, convert letters to numbers 103, 622
• Add the numbers together yields A=4, B=10. Their product is 40, which is 101000
• Multiply A by the line number gets us 528, multiply B by the column number gets 870. The difference is 342, which is 101010110.
• Performing XOR operation:

First num.	0	0	0	1	0	1	0	0	0
Second num.	1	0	1	0	1	0	1	1	0
Result	1	0	1	1	1	1	1	1	0

• 101111110 is 382 in decimal, modulo 8 plus 1 is 7, which corresponds to parameters -t -z.
