Covert Tracer Install

SPOILER

After you have agreed to work for Arunmor, they get you to d/l a tracer program to combat Revelation. You are told to upload it to the ARC Internal Systems Server - this is the part I can't figure out. I have tried drag&drop; with the file_copier and nothing happens! Any suggestions?

You will need to delete some of the other files on the server to make room for the tracer. 🙂

Ahh... it never occured to me that the server was 'full'. Thanks.

One last mission related question. I believe the I have finished the mission, yet when I reply to the mission briefing, NOTHING happens. I hit reply -> send and it just sits there.

Is there a time-delay, or are we waiting for something to happen?

You will need to go to the console and run it. 🙂

I did run it. And if I hadn't would they not have sent back a not-completed email?

To tell truth, the last two jobs I finished, when I replied to them, the did not come back at all. Nothing. Both this mission and the 'plant Revelation on Arunmor to get the ARC CEO arrested... Anyway, why won't this missions finish?

Ah, I see by nothing you meant nothing. 😉

This is a bit of a puzzlement, it is a well known bug but there seems to be no real reason. The only trick it to let the reply email sit for a few seconds before sending it off. 🙂

I need help here please.

I'm also doing the RevelationTracer (tracer) Mission. I copied it into the server, ran it in the console

cd usr
run revelationtracer

then, a sort of messages appears. the last one is something like "hearing revelation in port 666" (something like that). So I guess I completed it (or at least that's what IcePicks guide says). I send an email to Arumnor telling them I finished the mission and they say that they can't hear the ping back from the revelationtracer (so mission not completed or failed). Before I logged out of the server, this is just for the record, I checked again the file server of ARC, and the tracer was not there anymore (as it says in the guide, after you run the command it automaticly goes invisible).

I've done this two times with the same result, so, in other words, im stucked >_<

------------------

Help would be greatly appreciated ^_^

Did you remember to delete the logs on the ARC server? It keeps a record of what software you uploaded so you have to delete the logs to ensure that ARC doesn't know what you installed.

------------------

I've tried these alternatives (yes, tried completing the mission more times):

1. Followed exactly the steps, went to Arumnor's server to get the tracer (even tho I had it already), copied it, then I went directly to ARC and finished what they asked. Didn't work.
2. Went to ARC, deleted all the files in USR, copied RevelationTracer, ran it, didn't work.
3. Went to ARC, copied RevelationTracer, ran it, did a cd log - > delete, didn't work.

😢

------------------

I've got a problem where I've sent Revelation 1.0 to Arumnor, thus joining their side o the mission, but after they give me the 15000, I never hear from them again.

I'm registered, and I can't seem to continue on the plot.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Yes: wait. Keep waiting. Then wait more. After about two weeks game time (IIRC) they'll email you back, assuming you completed Backfire first (i.e. you got the "mission sucessful" email from Arumnor).
