Hello Guys,
been playing Ja1 again extensively and been able - for the first time - to decipher the code partially. And this topic beeing mentioned in other posts I decided to share things I recently found out. Well, I guess, it's an old topic, but well, maybe some people are interested.
The code works that way that one character is replaced by another. For example X really stands for T and so on. Question is how to know what character is replaced by the other.
There two possibilities I figuered out so far.
First, there's a minefield in sector 41. There is a sign that says "attention" (or beware, danger etc. I don't know exactly because I play the german version and so do not know what is the exact term in english) But the sign is written in the code. So you can at least translate "attention minefield" in the code and so figure out which character is replaced by which.
Second, you find a note mentioning the code, meaning which character replaces which in sector 53. Though it is dirty and only partly usefull, and I haven't found out yet, wheather there is some way to read it completly.
Well, there is a third note, which's use I cannot figure out yet. It's the only one with words divided by / "backslashes". I suppose it is also linked to the code. Found it somewhere at the center of the map/sector of Metavira.

P.S.: Ja1 still Rocks.

What are the information in those Encrypted Notes?
A: (a) Code: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Real: C F V H N W P B X L - K M E I - S - A Z D R - T O Y
( "-" is not important )
Dave adds these: P -> J, W -> U.
(b) All Personnel,
Stay clear S4 on D31
Stork is a Boobytrap
L.S.
(c) All Personnel,
Scientific Journal
is not to fall into
enemy hands, first
sign of enemy
presence near my lab-
Journal is to be
destroyed immediately
L.S.
(d) It's a note from "Hervos". He said Mr. Lucas is making a baby
Fallow Tree. ( This is not an encrypted codes. All you need is
a native to read this note. )
(e) Thanks/????????????????????? ( Somebody help me here! )
(f) Two notes to solve the mystery of stork in S18 ( from Dave ):
S. Franz
Await Replacement S18
ETA D16 L.S.
W. Pravdo
Relieve S.F. AM
Day before ship L.S.
Note: Now this is clear. S.Franz is expecting a replacement
from Santino. That person will arrive one day before the
stork. So, the replacement will be D16, and the stork
will be D17!

So after all those years nobody found out the meaning of the paper with backslashes ...

With a bit of trial and error, I managed to figure out another of Santino's codes:
SL - ALPHA
RDVU - QUAD C5
STORK - A.M. - 26
CO - ALPHA
I originally thought of a shipment on day 26 in Sector 5 but it's not Sector 5, it's Quadrant C5.
You've got to think of the map as if it were the map of JA2, but in reverse, letters on the top row, numbers on the left column:
_ABCDEFGHIJ
1
2
3
4
5
6
Meaning Quadrant C5 is Sector 43. If you raid this sector at dawn on day 26, you will find nine crates containing:
3x Mustard Gas,
5x Stun Grenade,
6x Grenade,
2x Detonator,
2x Explosives,
1x Plastic Explosive,
1x M16 Rifle,
5x M16 Ammo
Useful equipment for once. Like all shipments in the game, most veterans conquering two to three sectors a day will already have conquered this sector for a long time now, but someone going at a slower pace due to a no saving challenge or a Let's Play might find it interesting.

I also tried to decipher this coded message during my on-going play through and after a hour of head-scratching I hadn't got anywhere. It'd be nice to know the method to decipher this one.
