Gruntz - Encrypted Text Files

Post by Friedslick6 »

Hey all. I'm trying to figure out some undiscovered cheat codes from a PC game called Gruntz.
Gruntz was made in 1998 by Monolith Productions, and is now considered abandonware.
The game's main archive (GRUNTZ.REZ) contains 3 text files: ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT, CREDITZ.TXT AND CHEATZ.TXT.
CREDITZ.TXT is a plaintext file, readable and editable in Notepad. But the ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT and CHEATZ.TXT files seem to be encrypted.

Here is a list of currently known cheat codes for search material:

Code: Select all

mpletsblowstuffup, mpusetheforce, mpgolfandgamez, mpmakemesomepie, mpyouresomoney, mplemonbuttercremez, mpriorio, mpcheatcheatcheat, mpihatethisgame, mpilovethisgame, mplambert, mpwawawawawawa, mpindianajonez, mpelephantpork, mpfaoschwartz, mpback2life, mptacobell, mpchillout, mpclostrophobia, mplightzout, mpseizure, mppicasso, mpmeepmeep, mpcreatine, mpplusfivemagicalplate, mphighlander, mpohmygodtheykilledkenny, mpbillgatez, mpbluebrick, mpredbrick, mpgoldbrick, mpblackbrick, mptimer, mpbombage, mplametoy, mpmousey, mpmagicpaper, mpboingee, mpgetinshape, mpultimatecheeseburger, mpmalibugrandprix, mpwheeliez, mptheball, mpgerber, mpfearofflying, mpvasflam, mpcopperfield, mpquackage, mpplastiquez, mparrrrrrr, mpxfilez, mpkinetic, mpfuninthebarn, mptrojan, mprockon, mpfirepower, mphardhatmack, mphitopz, mprealmendontusestrawz, mppunchout, mpbrassknucklez, mpungabunga, mphomeimprovement, mpremotecontrol, mpkamikaze, mpcloakingdevice, mpstepitup, mpstepitdown, mpmonolith, mpfps, mppos, mptraitor, mpgoble
Could someone please take a look into these files (or at least CHEATZ.TXT) for me?
Thanks.

Could anyone please suggest another forum, or a tutorial on decryption, to help me with this request?

the ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT file is encrypted by blowfish with the key "1212"

use this script to decrypt:

Code: Select all

encryption blowfish "1212"
get NAME filename
get SIZE asize
string NAME += ".dec"
log NAME 0 SIZE

No, I reversed the game and found the key.
