Signal Effect (Spoilers)

First of all, please DO NOT tell me the full answer.
So I've been trying to crack signal effect, and I know that the transmissions are encoded.
One was in Binary but it translated to this:

Quote:

)!=*l(#s, !(# y=# @$a) $e? @+=se% @o% )i( $a*$ @(d #$*e# !*$#ts. !)ro#= @+$ pi&@ pi&@ !* f^+@@ $* _!=d@!

One was in Hexadecimal, it translated to this:

Quote:

)!ho$(#, c(# _o# h$!) $#? C+=*(% @+r )^x $!y$ @(! #$*%� !*�#)#. !c!(^u)"V2�2�d�F��e�B��҅�R�V2�2�e �e�b��R��7��$R�2F��2�R�bR ��R�B�R�Ң��D

One was in Base 64, it came out to this:

Quote:

)c=*$(r#, !a# _=u @$!r $#? @+a*(% @+% s^( $!*s @n! #$v%# !*$h)#. ')!(s3�@+e %^t@ !f $^+e. @o$*!*-f^() !&*#ts ^&a@! w@_% I !a@#^, *@N * !l%)l`(+ $@ i* t($ ^ou!* +~ d*!t$! (%e@ $y _!r$s!

but the last one I can't figure out what type of code it is...

Also, the codes I HAVE decoded seem to come out to gibberish. Did I make a mistake or are the messages double encrypted?
I would like some help working through this, please.

This tool is useful: http://home.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/

But I am stuck too

So anyone found this yet?

It looks like they are double encrypted, and some of the letter groupings look like they form a sentence...particularly with the existence of a period followed by a capital letter.

However, for the life of me I can't figure out the key to the cipher. I have found a decoding tool, though, so I'm giving that a go to see if it decodes one of them.

Just curious what you get when you don't convert the binary code into half-bytes. Instead of 00101001 converting into 29 for the ACSII character ')', what if it were converted into a literal 41 for an ASCII character 'A'?

I'm not on the quest so have no desire to check the rest of the message but try the first couple and see if that might get a more reasonable message.

You know, you come across as a right ass with that post.

And while I'm also being an ass, your post in the other thread was great at giving the answers, not so much at providing how you got there, which would have been a FAR more useful piece of information for those trying to solve it.

@Filiecs: Something looks off...check the hexadecimal one. And the Binary. I think you're missing part of the code.
