pulling all the levers down and having the forger self destruct?
Aha... well since you asked if you should try further... it was a hasty assumption that you hadn't tried that one yet.

No, I just meant should I try the 64 combos with ammo, ranged weapons and armor?

By the way, Isaac. Nice Pink Floyd reference.

(Now I know how Steve Wozniak must have felt when Steve Gibson complimented him on the internal design of the Apple II Floppy controller ~with details.)
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one to see that. I can't make out the rest of the runes. Too small to read.

I have finally finished this mod and would like to congratulate the designers on a job well done.
Isaac. Are you recovered from being totally stunned? If so, do you have a larger copy of the CircleText_diff.dds file I can look at to see if I can read the smaller Tengwar runes? And is that Egyptian hieroglyphs on the one side? I happen to be a lover of runes and try to decipher them whenever possible.

Sure!

Hints about the glyphs if you want them: (*In increasing order.)
Each is 1:1 simple substitution cypher; English.
I found one word misspelled ~and left it that way.
There are capitals and lower case throughout.

I realized that when I translated Circle 1.

Yes, I found that in Circle 3. In fact, there are 2.

Also, noticed that in Circle 1.
What I have right now:
Circle 1
Font: Angerthas from Lord of the Rings
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs. Got to keep the loonies on the path.
Circle 2
Font: Tengwar from Lord of the Rings
Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Circle 3
Font: Daedra from The Elder Scrolls, Morrowind (not sure if I got where it starts and ends correct)
This portal: Pierce the relam (realm) etherial (ethereal, I would have gotten that wrong myself) and make way to the shadow tomb into the hall of the undead Vidamesse Godith Ortessa bound by tincture of ectoplasm
Circle 4
I can't find the exact font used and since your writing is in the 1 rune per letter format, I am unable to translate it.
Circle 5
I have never seen anything like this.
The only way I might be able to get circles 4 and 5 is through character substitution, one letter at a time.

I have deciphered Circle 4, Issac.
The lunatic is in my head. The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade. You make the change You re-arrange me til I'm sane. You lock the door and throw away the key There's someone in my head but its not me.

It seems that the letters in line 5 are vertically stretched a bit.
They would normally look like this:

A useful hint for line 5 is that:
Every word is capitalized.
