texts:
I've found a bug, I think. I've been playing kittens after setting priceRatio on all buildings and structures (religious, ziggurat and "normal") and I've realised after a while that although I have 500 Ivory Towers and 500 Sky Palaces and 500 Ivory Citadels I'm not getting any events related to them. No Ivory Meteors, no Unicor Rifts, no Alicorns. This happens because I also had 500 observatories. 500 observatories give me "chance" (in onNewDay() function) equal to 10025. This means that there is an astronomical event everyday. In code after check for chance being greater than random number some stuff with handlers and timeouts follows, and then it comes:

        //---------------- SETI hack-------------------
        if (this.game.workshop.get("seti").researched){
            this.observeHandler();
            return;
        }

Note "return". This means that if there is an astronomical event, there is no chance for meteors giving minerals, alicorns, unicorn rifts and so on. This also means that if someone were able to build enough observatories in IronWill mode, s/he could build a hut (and exit Iron Will mode) and no zebra hunter will leave. Yeah, I know, 500 observatories in Iron Will.

Anyway, I think that this is a bug.

texts: How to build a 1 deep, tile-able, "chest has items" indicator system?

texts:
In a Mumbo Jumbo video (

            )  he shows a very nice "chest has items" indicator system that's tile-able, and extends 2 blocks below the chest.  Here's a screen shot of the specific design I'm interested in "improving."

In my build, I really need it to only extend 1 block beneath the chest.  That is, the redstone can't be two levels beneath the chest, it can only be one.  I do have a design that is non-tileable:

The issue is the spot of redstone dust on the side.  That's not going to tile.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

texts:
I have 2 Ubisoft games on Steam, Assassin's Creed III and Valiant Hearts. I've bought them a while ago, and they seemed to work, I've played them a lot.

But now, when I try to run them, the mouse icon loads for a few seconds and nothing. Nothing happens. I checked my computer processes and there is no "Valiant Hearts" or "Assassin's Creed III" process running.

I can't launch the game from the shortcut, nor steam, nor the Uplay launcher.

What I have tried:

Reinstalling Uplay: This seemed to work in the first place (before I did that, the uplay launcher wouldn't launch as well). After reinstalling, the uplay launcher started to launch, and I was able to play the games once, and then the problem returned. Now, I can open the uplay launcher, but can't launch any games.
Going Offline: I've read in some internet forums that going offline could help me. I tried. Nothing.
Update: Tried running all as administrator, didn't work.

I don't have anymore ideas. I don't think that this is an installation problem because I was able to play the games, the problem appeared out of nowhere.

Here are my device's specifications:

Windows 10
AMD FX Quad-Core Processor
NVIDIA GForce GT680
8GB of RAM.

UPDATE

I don't know what happened. I didn't did anything, but today i just tried to start the games and they worked. It seems that uplay is pretty unstable. However, i'll leave the question (and bounty) open, if someone appears with a permanent solution (i don't know how long my games will be working).

texts: How can I make a "cascading light" effect in Minecraft?

texts:
I'm not sure what exactly the term for what I'm trying to do is, but I will refer to what I am trying to do as a "cascading light" effect (a light that looks like it's going "downwards" at a consistent speed).
Basically, I am trying to light up certain redstone lamps on a 2D panel of lamps at different times, with each light being lit up the exact same amount of time.
To be a bit more specific, I am dealing with a panel of lights that's comprised of mainly a 11x3 rectangle of redstone lamps, with 7 lamps sticking out around the bottom of the shape (see below image for more details. Also, sorry if the drawings aren't too high quality, they're only here as simple visuals)

The lights will appear to sort of "cascade" towards the bottom of the structure, by lighting up the redstone lamp directly below the already-lit lamp after an interval of time. There will be no delay after some of the lamps are lit; rather, the next set of lamps will light up directly after the initial set.
There are a total of 11 sets of lamps to be lit up, with the first set being only one lamp, the second to ninth sets being comprised of 3 lamps each, set #10 is 5 lamps, and the last set (#11) is 7 lamps. (image below detailing this)

I've found a "minecraft animation" that seems to have just what I'm looking for (but the problem is, this is an animation, and you can't see how the redstone contraption functions due to how it's 2D)

Video: (timestamp: 4:49)

I am playing on vanilla Minecraft, Java Edition, on 1.14.4, and I'd prefer if the redstone circuit did not stretch past the panel of lights, but I can take any design as long as it works. Also, you can change the shape of the panel too, as long as the cascading pattern is still present. Thanks!


texts:
I would like to revisit and re-do certain one-off events in this game such as Eventide Island. There's probably a save file where I haven't done Eventide yet - what will happen if I load that?

I assume it does, would be pretty awful if it somehow automatically overwrote manual saves - but I wanna check to be sure.


texts: Fastest item dispensing solution in the game?

texts:
My mob farm produces a lot of items that I need dispensed (double chests and double chests full) and I want to be able to automatically dispense them by flicking a lever. Right now I have four dispensers running on comparator clocks, but that is way too slow, since dispensers only dispense one at a time. Is there a faster way to dispense items other than adding more dispensers? (on the server I'm on, hoppers transfer items a stack at a time, not one at a time, so I can't figure out how to make a good item sorter).

This is what I have right now:

Is there a faster dispensing solution, or even better, an item sorting solution where hoppers transfer entire stacks at a time?

I'm wondering if there could be a path that is considered the 'best', in terms of speed of completion and overall understanding of the 'multiverse' area, like ciphers and its layout.

Basically what I'm asking is, would I be missing a lot if I don't know the codes when I first encounter them, or would it be better to have the experience of having to find them?


texts: Is the Burst Laser I superior to the Dual Lasers?

texts:
In my haste a bought a Burst Laser I before fully examining the stats, only to realize afterwards that it was inferior to the Dual Lasers I already own. The part I find unusual is that the Burst Laser 1 is worth more than the Dual Lasers even thought the Dual Lasers is superior to the Burst Laser 1. I find this very unusual, so I thought maybe there was something about the Burst Laser I that wasn't listed on the stats, but after doing some testing and crawling through the internet I can't find anything that would suggest the Burst Laser is superior than the Dual Lasers.

The stats for the weapons can be found on the wiki.

Is there some hidden stat that makes the Burst Laser I superior to the Dual Lasers, or is the odd price difference between the Burst Laser I and the Dual Lasers just that, odd?

Me and my friend want to build a basic 101 mob farm, but we can't decide where to put it. He says it has got to be over an ocean, I say it can just be 128 blocks above ground and it will be just fine.

What is the absolute ideal place for a mob spawner?

If we dig a 128x128 square straight to bedrock will that make a perfect environment?

texts: Do points revert faster if defenders stand on them?

texts:
If a team starts capturing a point but fails to get it converted, it starts reverting back to the team that owns it, making the attacking team lose their progress. If you stand on your point while it's reverting, it will say that that's what it's doing too. Does standing on them while it's reverting speed it up though?

I've gotten conflicting answers about this, and TF2 doesn't really give any indication if it matters.

Does it matter how many people stand on it? Does it work the same way in both Standard Control Point and Attack/Defend Control Point maps?


texts:
My question is about playing support in competitive environments.  It's extremely common (indeed, standard) to see a support start with a Faerie Charm and some Sight Wards so that they can later build to Philosopher's Stone.  It's also not uncommon to see Heart of Gold.  Recently, I've even been getting Kage's Lucky Pick.  One can even imagine a situation where Avarice Blade would be viable on a support like Blitzcrank (if you're intending to go more AD support than a full on aura items build).

How many gp10 items is "too many"?  What I mean by this is: at what point does it become counter productive to keep getting items for the gp10?  At what point are you getting worse returns than if you just went ahead and got that Aegis of the Legion or Zeke's Herald or whatever?

EDIT:  By competitive play, I mean someone who is doing ranked games seriously in order to improve their Elo and hit 1900+, rather than someone who is just messing around in a Normal building AP Sona.  This is someone who is genuinely serious about understanding the meta game in depth and wants to improve his skill at the game.

texts:
I've just started building planes and am confused about the way air intake works. For instance, the J-90 "Goliath" Turbofan Engine is specified to consume a whopping 132.272 Air/sec while supplying Intake Air: 3.4 (presumably this is per second as well?).

How would I supply such an engine, let alone two?

The largest supplier of air that I can find seems to be the Engine Nacelle with Intake Air: 5.0 (similarly the Engine Pre-Cooler that takes in the same amount but is more expensive and lighter). That means, if I want to supply one Goliath, I'd need about 26 Nacelles, or 65 Radial Air Intakes (which claim to provide`Intake Air: 2.0). Presumably this is the maximum intake ASL, which supposedly drops higher in atmo (and probably depends on speed). So this doesn't sound like the correct way to determine air requirements.

So: How do I translate the Intake Air figure I see in the Item description to the usable amount of air/sec that I have available for my engines?

There was no code card in the box other than the Square Enix product registration code.

texts:
I want to build a large, horizontal underground tunnel that spans my world, for quick travel. Unfortunately, if I tunnel under a desert all the sand falls down and I just make a giant hole wherever my tunnel is. I could put a layer of stone above the tunnel to support the sand, but I can't find a way to make space to put the stone without the sand falling.

One solution I have thought of is to dig out the entire desert, build my tunnel, and then put all the sand back, but that doesn't sound like fun at all.

EDIT: The solution I decided to go with is just dig below the desert. I am making my "subway" at a depth of "level" (0), so hopefully I won't have much trouble with sand. Thanks for the suggestions!

/fill ~-8 ~-8 ~-8 ~8 ~8 ~8 minecraft:wet_sponge replace minecraft:barrel{CustomName:"\"a\""}

texts: Why are we getting no save files in multiplayer games?

texts:
I've played Civilization 5 in a co-op multiplayer session two nights in a row, and both times there were no saves. My friend hosted the game and had it set to save every turn, but still there were no saved games made. Since the game crashes or drops one of us at least once every night we play having saves is rather vital.

This has worked before for us, so I wonder if it isn't the result of one of the latest patches. We are using Steam, so the game is up-to-date with the latest version. A Google search only turned up reports of the multiplayer save issues from when the game was released, but nothing more recent.

What is the culprit?


texts: In Portal games, do you always exit a portal at a right angle to its surface?

texts:
Please help settle a debate between a group of friends.  In Portal games, is exit velocity always normal to the portal surface being exited?

More importantly: please offer some kind of undeniable proof that will allow the debate among friends to end.  I am nowhere near a machine with Portal installed for several days, but my memory of the series is that yes, exit velocity always is normal to the portal surface.  Put more simply: if the exit portal is on the ground, no matter how you enter the entrance portal, you will come out of the exit portal moving vertically up.  (Granted, you may be able to move out of that vertical column a split second later because of video game physics that allow forward motion to be initiated in midair, but if you do not press any movement controls after exit, you will rise/fall in a perfectly vertical column and end up re-entering the floor portal you just exited).


texts: Path reservation is not working when crossing a path signal from back side

texts:
I'm trying to build a two-way railroad with 3 tracks. 2 tracks for both directions and a shared track in between which can be used in both directions for passing slower traffic on "main tracks".
I wanted to use one-way path signals on side tracks to ensure a single direction on them. On the middle track, I use regular path signals to allow any direction on it.

On the screenshot, I stopped Train11 and others got stuck behind it (I expected them to use a middle track to pass the obstacle). As I understand from the path signal descriptions, it should allow traffic from its back side. But in my example, the sign that is pointed by the red arrow prevents other trains to reserve a section on the middle track. Sometimes they pass the stopped train successfully, but most of the time they get stuck. If I remove the marked sign, trains #3, #10 and #4 will pass the stopped train successfully.
What am I missing about the path signs? Or is it some sort of a bug? Because from my understanding, this design should work just fine.
P.S. The reason I decided to place signs on the middle lane like that is to allow a train from the main track to reserve a section on a middle track only if it is not already reserved by another train going in another direction.

texts:
As my time in Amalur wound down last night, I decided to do the only logical thing and murder everyone I came across.  I managed to make mincemeat of most of a village of Fae, but then I encountered someone who had a quest indicator over their head.  I couldn't do damage to them, and talking to them seemed to indicate that they were still regarding me as a "friend" and that they still wanted my help with a quest.

(This was despite the fact that I was repeatedly bludgeoning him over the head with a magical staff of burning things with fire that was soaked with the blood of their compatriots, but I digress.)

It seemed I was able to take out most of the "non-essential" NPCs in an entire town this way, and I wasn't once stopped by a guard or other law enforcement individual.  Further, there was no reaction from the citizens spared on account of their relative immunity to my attacks.

What are the limits to my murderous rampages?  Can I kill shopkeepers?  Does it matter if they're "generic" villagers or they have unique names?  Are there any side quest NPCs that I can murder?

Further, what are the consequences?  Will I be caught and sentenced to 2 minutes in prison at some point?  Is there some "faction standing" that I tanked during this?


texts:
I have made a bad mistake and I think Im stuck.

I did not notice that i need floater corpses for the interceptor upgrades.
I sold all corpses on grey market and then only heavy floaters starter appearing.

Funny thing is that the game requires floater corpses and not heavy floater corpses (i mean what...). Am i stuck or what?

With best regards,

texts: How does one tell what gender a Fallen is?

texts:
In a lot of the Destiny lore, there are a number of wiki pages that talk about each prominent Fallen member's gender, like if they are male or female.

Mithraxx is a male, Eramis is a female, etc. But what isn't clearly explained is how we know these prominent members are male or female.  With Eramis, it makes sense because we have heard her voice in-game as feminine.  But I don't recall ever hearing Mithraxx's voice, or some other voices like Atraks-1.  Yet the wiki has a clearly defined way to identify each Fallen member's gender, so I'm asking, how does one tell what gender a Fallen is?


texts:
I've been trying to piece together the backstory of FEZ - this is where I'm up to...

There are 4 races in FEZ:

Visitors - these appear as floating heads with 3 eyes and 3 tentacles.
Long-heads - these have long heads and one eye, they're only seen in pictures.
Big-heads - you can talk to these but they have a different language.
Gomez's species - only seen in the starting village.

Firstly, according to a blackboard in a classroom in Gomez's village:

It looks like the long-heads and big-heads are ancestors of Gomez's people.

I think that the long-heads were primitive ancestors that lived purely in 2D:

Their village is flat and the rooms there cannot be rotated.
They hunted animals (shown by one wall) and worshipped owls (shown by another), possible because the owls could see in 3D already.

The big-heads are harder to figure out, and I think visiting them might involve some time travel. There are two big-head villages:

Under construction village - this is populated and covered with scaffolding. It has the working stargate in it.
Ruined village - this is empty and overgrown, but almost identical.

I think that these are the same village before and after a catastrophe:

The populated village has a working stargate and a mural room that shows the visitors giving the stargate to the big-heads.

The classroom in that village shows a visitor holding the number 3, implying that visitors showed the big-heads about the third dimension too.
The ruined village has a mural that shows the stargate being built and then in its destroyed state.
The ruined village's stargate is destroyed by the space-holes, perhaps implying that's how they've come into the world?

I think the visitors and the owls are related somehow, but I'm not sure how?

Were the visitors destroyed by the same catastrophe?

If I'm right about the time travel then Gomez is going back in time to complete the game, and it's possible that in doing so he causes the disaster that destroys the big-head village.

If I'm wrong then what is going on?

texts: When does the Final Fantasy Bow's stats surpass those of Phantom Lv. 9?

texts:
Since the Final Fantasy bow auto-upgrades based on your current level, at what point does it surpass the attributes of Phantom (Lv. 9)?

The stats for Phantom Lv. 9 are:

Strength +9
Agility +8
Power Shot +3
Fatal Blow +4
Multi-Arrow +3

I'm trying to decide if I should invest in Phantom Lv. 9 or just wait it out and get the Final Fantasy instead.


texts: Tekkit factory line, avoiding item surplus?

texts:
I am trying to create a fully automated HV solar panel factory in tekkit, but I have a problem.

The parts I need for various other parts and machines are all produced at different speeds, and some of them do not have an EMC, meaning that I cannot just chuck all the surplus items into an energy condenser to get rid of them.

How can I deal with this problem? For instance, one of the machines require 2 electric circuits, some redstone, and other parts. The redstone slots are at 64 all the time, while the circuit slots in the automatic crafting table are at 1-2, meaning I over-produce redstone for this particular part of the factory.

Redstone is easy to deal with, but I also have this problem with other parts.

I notice that the energy condensers that produce the raw materials (through energy collectors) just fill up and stay full, is there a way to set up retrievers or what not to pull in what is needed instead of pumping them out continously from the energy condensers?

Meaning, when the crafting table is ready to accept redstone, it will ask for it?

Is this possible?


texts: If you play Roblox you know there is a game mechanic called tripping. It is not anything fancy; you fall on the floor, your character flops around for a bit, and then gets back up.

Is it possible to disable tripping?


texts: Netherrack, paranormal events, and C418-11: prank, mod, expected?

texts:
I was playing Minecraft on a server and a weird thing happened when I started placing netherrack on the roof of my house.  I heard ominous sounds I hadn't heard before so I decided to run inside for safety.  When I got to the door it started opening and shutting repeatedly.  When I got inside the house a stone block appeared in the room and slowly broke down to nothing and the music stopped.  I went back outside and found a burnt looking music disk on the ground, C418-11.  I played it and confirmed it was the sounds I was hearing.

So, I'm wondering is this a normal way to get C418-11, is there a spooky mod that is doing this, or did someone with special privileges go invisible, play the music, and then prank me?

I've tried placing more netherrack around with no effect.

Is there a list of which role each Pokémon fills, or a way to identify what their preferred role is from their IVs?

texts: How can I backup my games saves in Windows XP, Vista/7?

texts:
As the question stated, just how can I backup my game saves?

I play lots of games; some of them, like Skyrim, are using the following directory in Vista/7:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mygames\

However, where can I locate the rest of the games?

I don't mean all of them, just the most common locations of game saves that most games use in Windows XP and Windows Vista/7 so I can back them up.

Edit:

What I mean is the locations that games most commonly use, not just one location.
For example, I have Skyrim, Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City, Binary Domain, Rage, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Dead Space, and Amnesia in the directory I provided. I only found Reckoning and Skyrim, plus Reckoning doesn't look like game saves at all because it only contains *.ini files, which I believe are settings files.


texts: Is there a way to remove the region lock on a 3DS and still connect to the nintendo store

texts:
I have an old DS Lite, and I want to get the Etrian Odyssey series, but the 4th one only came out on 3DS, so I'm going to get a 3DS.

But since the 3DS is region locked I was thinking of getting all the games from the same region so that I can play them all of the 3DS.

However the copies of Etrian Odyssey 2 and 3 I've found on Ebay are in the US, so I am wondering, Is there any way I can remove the region locking on a 3DS while still having the other features of the 3DS, such as the Nintendo Store?

NOTE: the 3DS is an Australian brought one so it should be Australian


texts: Can no longer use same account on a LAN game

texts:
I've been playing Minecraft with my son for a couple of years now, while using the same account on a LAN without any problem, until the past couple of weeks. I have a Mac and a Windows 10 machine, both running the latest stable releases. I used a common 'hack' to allow the same account to connect to each other by editing the launcher_profile.json file on the Mac, and changing the username and DisplayName variables to something else (in this case, 'Dad').

This hack is no longer working, and I can't find anything recent that confirms any changes to hack.

How can I get LAN gaming working again without purchasing another Minecraft account?
(I'm not interested in using it for online multiplayer).

texts: How do I prevent players from riding a donkey, but still be able to access its inventory?

texts:
I am trying to make a data pack in Minecraft 1.16 where you can equip gear without taking up space in the player's inventory.  I have it set up that when a player holds a specific item, a donkey is teleported in front of them.  So then the player can access its inventory, but I don't want the players riding the donkey.  How do I make the donkey unrideable, but players can still access its inventory.  I tried putting an armor stand on the donkey that works to prevent me from riding the donkey, but I can't access the donkey's inventory.  I can't use a chest in a minecart because I can't make that invisible without removing the minecart texture (which I don't want to do).  If mules work but donkeys don't that's fine.
Any Ideas?


texts: How far away do portals need to be so that they don't go to the same place?

texts:
I'm playing on a SMP server and am trying to use the Nether to link up all my disparate bases around the world. Note in the below, A is Overworld, B is Nether.

I started with one portal (A1, thus spawning B1 in the Nether), and then created another portal a ways away in the Nether (B2), hoping it would be near the main area all the other players congregate. It (A2) was pretty close to where I wanted it, but not exactly. I then created another portal a short distance away (A3), which was where I was hoping A2 would land. I then went somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 squares away from where I initially built A1 (in the opposite direction of A2/A3) and created another portal, A4.

One would think A3 and A4 would create B3 and B4 on the Nether side, respectively. However, A4 linked to B1, and A3 linked to B2. The weird part is, A1 is further from A4 than A1 is from A3.

I hope that made any sense. My question is:

How far away do portals on the Overworld map need to be from each other in order to spawn separate portals in the Nether? Or, what are some ways to ensure a new portal won't link to an existing one?

texts: Do Villagers count towards the passive mob total with respect to animal spawning?

texts:
With regard to mob spawning, a 17 chunk by 17 chunk area centered around the player will have a passive mob cap of 11, meaning that if there are 11 or more passive mobs (i.e. animals) in that area, no new passive mobs will spawn. Villagers do appear under the passive mob list, but they have very different spawning behavior than animals do (i.e. they will not randomly spawn, and can only be created either at world generation, through villager breeding, or by curing zombie villagers).

So, for the purpose of animal spawning, are Villagers counted towards the passive mob total? In other words, if I had nothing except 11 Villagers in an area, would no animals spawn at all there?

So, do I have to also visit the biomes' variations in order to get Adventuring Time?


texts: How do extremely low accuracy levels work?

texts:
With Gaige's Anarchy skill it's entirely possible to gain a -100% or greater accuracy penalty. Borderlands' accuracy was always sort of funny so 0% accuracy (which I think was possible with Sledge's Shotgun) didn't quite mean "your bullets can literally go anywhere".

So in Borderlands 2 what happens with extremely low accuracy values, below 0%? Does it bottom out at 0%? What exactly does 0% accuracy mean in this case?


texts:
I've been playing a bit of Atom Zombie Smasher lately. I'm pretty sure that I'm losing, as the zeds have amassed enough points for mega zeds to start appearing (and I'm not exactly keeping up).

That aside, I was wondering how many kills are registered for a unit when it kills a mega zed, as I am pondering ways to get the "Destroy 50 Zed in one XXX explosion", where XXX is one of the available types of explosives.

If mega zeds register as several kills, they would provide a lucrative venue to getting said achievements.

texts: Are there disadvantages to wearing armor as a mage casting spells?

texts:
There are mage robes in the game that give bonuses that are very useful to mages, like magicka regeneration. But currently I'm running around in armor, as a robe doesn't really protect me much if a bunch of undead are hitting me.

I'm thinking of developing my character into some kind of battlemage, so I'm wondering if it makes sense to stay with armor while casting spells.

Are there any penalties to casting magic when wearing light or heavy armor? If there are any, are they different for heavy and light armor?


texts:
I'm a new player to both EVE and Dust 514. I'm playing Dust with a small group of guys; we don't plan to grow to more than 8. Most of them play only Dust, but I wanted to explore the current interactions of the two games aside from orbital bombardment.

Finding relevant information has been difficult. All I can piece together so far is

the pilot must be enlisted in Faction Wars (which doesn't impact the Dust corp, just the pilot, for purposes of OB)
something called Planetary Conquest is involved, which may or may not be related to Planetary Interaction

The second item regarding PI is what's confusing me. I'd like for us to take on more lucrative deals and start fighting for districts, buts me after reading http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Planetary_Conquest it is very unclear how things like districts, jump clones, passive district battles and more actually work for a skills standpoint, if at all, for things like surface infrastructure.

What's the general path for a single pilot whose job is only to earn ISK for the corp and help acquire districts in FW? Is it correct that the PI path is the way to go here?

We don't really have a good strategy. When we stay provisionally ahead, some will use the 2nd attack on high level opponents to get more loot. And we lose the war at last.
The communication is bad. Clan messages are often missed because many members are offline.

How do your clans deal with these or similar problems? (I can't imagine we are the only ones) How do you communicate strategy or advice to folks? How is participation ensured in your clan?

Any other advice much appreciated!

Is there a way to bind a Minecraft command to a hotkey?

For example, I’d like a way to toggle between modes (survivla/creative) by pressing the Tab so that if I’m in a nasty pinch (like getting poisoned by a spider and being unable to fight back because the game suddenly lags really badly) and want to avoid losing a full inventory of valuables that I worked hard to get over the past five hours, I can quickly switch to creative mode.

I searched for a mod to do this and (surprisingly) came up empty; all I could find was the macro/keybind mod which requires LiteLoader and doesn’t seem to be able to bind arbitrary commands to keys.

The closest thing to a solution that I could find were suggestions to automate it with AutoHotkey, but that is no good because some keystrokes to get lost (probably due to the game’s CPU load), so pressing the hotkey will result in amemode 1 or /amemo 0 and such.

Is there a way to bind a command to a key so that it always works correctly?

To open my maps up to more players, I've started creating maps on Minecraft Bedrock Edition as well. But NBT is inaccessible from commands in BE, which I knew before, but didn't know how much of a problem I would have creating these complicated command chains.
One of the things that I've always been doing is giving players items with custom item names, lores, enchantments, and other properties.
But there is a problem. All this would have been done in NBT in Java Edition. In Bedrock, NBT is inaccessible from commands, meaning the commands I used in JE don't work. Are my dreams crushed?

My question is, how can I find out which asteroid belts in a system has ore left to mine without visiting every single belt in the system? Is this even possible?

texts: Is there a downside to cheating at video games?

texts:
Late in the game, you are able to buy a video game console that allows you to play video games at home. Even later, you're able to buy a book titled "Game Secrets", which makes all of the video games easier to beat.

However, the game gives you a choice to use the cheats that you learn from the book. If you do, Morgana comments on how it's understandable that you're frustrated. Furthermore, after beating a level using cheats, Morgana also says how it wasn't as exciting since you used cheats.

Is this just flavor text or am I actually being penalized in some way for using cheats?

Maybe it is not having enough power, i do not understand all the power EU, MJ, etc and converting it.

Like i said the filler is clearing the area but not filling it, maybe it does not have enough power?

texts: Can a AI-controlled companion be ordered to take an action?

texts:
In L4D2, can companions be ordered to take actions?

Me and a friend have been playing. That means 2 of our slots are human and 2 are AI-controlled. We are primarily interested in giving 2 orders:

How can we order a particular companion to follow one of us while the other follows the other one of us?
How can we order a companion to pick up an item? We've noticed that they don't like picking up any extra medkits at the start of a level which we can deal with, but what about telling them to replace their weapon / medkit / pain pills?

We've tried using what seems like a command system (Look, Let's Go, Hurry!, etc.), which causes the AI-players to make verbal responses, but doesn't seem to affect them in any way other than that. Unless we are doing it incorrectly, of course.


texts: Can I control the rotation of the abode?

texts:
Around settlements, it's usually a priority to squeeze in the abodes as tightly as possible.

When I did this the first time, I managed to get a fairly straight grid, maximizing the number of abodes under influence of the settlement.

However, when it comes to building my second settlement, I notice that all of the adobes have a slight rotation, and they're not evenly rotated, making it a great deal harder to use the settlement efficiently.

No matter how I try, I can't figure out how to deal with this. I've tried dragging them around, against each other and against walls, and I've tried moving the terrain around to "encourage" them to straigthen up. Neither can I find a way to manually rotate then, with some kind of keyboard command.

Here's an image we're I've done my best to show the problem.

texts: Does FIFA 15 contain the momentum feature?

texts:
The so called "momentum" (or scripting/handicap) feature changes the abilities of the players on the pitch from game to game in a seemingly random manner, usually giving one of the teams a major advantage, while the other has an increased chance of failed passes or hitting the post.

It was heavily featured in FIFA 13 and FIFA 14, which lead to a lot of discussion and is dreaded by many players, but EA apparently wants to keep it in to make matches more unique and give weaker players a better chance for winning once in a while against stronger opponents.

Obviously this is a bad idea for online play, especially competitive play in leagues etc.

Is there any official information if momentum is included in FIFA 15 for online modes like Seasons?

The problem with simply checking it by playing is that you usually have to play a lot of matches to be able to tell that momentum exists (and you are not simply having a bit of bad luck).

Well, later I want to place my HDD again, so I have access to all my saves and such. Will the console accept back the HDD again? Or will she try to format it?


texts: Prismatic Afterglow Xbox Controller Calibration Failure

texts:
I have run into an issue I cannot find an answer to on Google. I purchased a PDP 048-121-NA Afterglow Wired Controller for Xbox One on Amazon about three months ago, and about two weeks ago was when I realized there was controller drift. In attempt to solve this problem, I simply googled what I'd normally google to solve the problem: "how to recalibrate Afterglow controller."
The solution seemed to work immediately, and I was very happy (but I will note that my controller did NOT vibrate uncontrollably during the time when I held down the D-pad and plugged in the larger side of the USB cable.) But only after about a couple hours did I notice that controller drift in the opposite direction had developed.
I attempted to repeat exactly what I did before, but now the controller does not register any input (or does it?) Here is what happens:

I follow exactly the same calibration scheme as prescribed: hold down on D-pad, plug in larger USB end, let go of D-pad, press A, both analog stick 360 clockwise rotation, press LT, press RT, press down D-pad again.
Controller successfully lights up, white light above Xbox home button lights up, but the "color-wheel" light located below the right analog stick does not light up.
There is no longer any registered controller input.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and the device itself, both automatically and manually. I have also tried using a different microUSB -> USB cable, and the same thing happens. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's anything else I can do to troubleshoot this device, and think it must be broken. I'm hesitant to call it broken, though, because (1) the initial calibration process seems to be "working," (2) the controller's LED are fine afterwords, and (3) Xbox home lights up afterwards too, but color-wheel light does not light up, and that also means that I cannot change the LED color either, and no game registers any input from the controller.
So, question: Are there any other ways that I can use to troubleshoot this controller or should I proclaim it dead?


texts: I want to mob-proof the main island in the End and I'd like to use carpets for it, as they are cheap (for me, I have a massive sheep farm) and also look nicer in my eyes than most slabs. Can Endermen spawn on carpets?


texts: So there I am, with nothing but my dagger and 4 enduring invisibility potions, all I need to do is sneak in, and out of the Thalmor Embassy. Easy, right? Or so I think. After I cause a distraction and grab my dagger and potions from the chest, I open the first door after having gulped a invisibility potion, and Charge past them real quick, and BOOM firebolts and lightning bolts fly at me, and I get smacked into a wall, my butt thouroughly kicked. What happened?! Does an invisibility potion NOT make you invisible? They turned on me faster than a hound on a bunny the moment I opened the door....


texts: Is it possible to stab an enemy before the hand goes into the ready position?

texts:
As stated in the title is it possible to stab an enemy before the hand goes into the ready position?

For those who don't know already:

This is the "ready" position that the hand goes into before you stab someone.

This is the "idle" position that the hand is in by default.


texts:
I have yet to obtain a single virus from my usual farming, which is mainly L7/8 portal popups of my faction. Apart from the generally low probability of getting one, are the chances skewed depending on the portal faction & level etc.? If there are any variations, I'd like to try maximizing my chance to get these items.

Do green portals have higher chance of giving Jarvis virus among the 2 types (& vice versa)?
Does the chance of a virus drop decrease when farming opposite faction portals (similar to resos or XMP), stay same (like keys) or perhaps increase?

texts: There appear to be some unlockable game modes and some locked content (most namely noted by "Dadlockable content" and [LOCKED] in the main menu). What is it and how do you unlock it?


texts: In Skyrim, why aren't all pickpocketed items marked as stolen?

texts:
I've noticed that some items that I've pickpocketed are not marked as stolen and I can freely sell them to any merchant that buys that item type.

It's not all items of a specific type. For example, some stolen necklaces are not marked as stolen and some are.

Some examples are Calcemo's Ring, shields, imperial bows, and lots of random jewelry. Basically, anyone unfortunate enough to walk past me gets their pocket picked.

Is this a bug? Could it be a side effect of a mod? Or is it some game mechanic that I don't quite understand yet?

I play on PC with Hearthfire and Dragonborn DLCs.

Note that I've never given any of these items to a follower or put them in a container of any kind. I've also never used the fence items option of the Amazing Follower Tweaks mod.

Thank you.

Update

I've tried starting a fresh game with no mods installed and it still happens. So, it doesn't look like this is caused by a mod. I guess it'll just be a mystery. It's a beneficial effect, anyway.


texts: Do rate-of-fire modifiers affect the Blasphemy sword in Enter the Gungeon?

texts: I was playing Enter the Gungeon using the Blasphemy sword, and I picked up the Lichy Trigger Finger passive, which increases the rate of fire for all weapons. However, it seemed like the rate at which I could swing the sword hadn't increased at all. So, is Blasphemy an exception, or am I just imagining it?

texts: What online retailers sell vintage games or box art?

texts:
I've been looking for an original Archon I for C64 for ages now, but all the offers on ebay are crazy expensive. So I thought I'd ask if anybody knows an online retailer that does trading of very old vintage video games?

I'm not interested in ROMs, as in fact I want the game just for the beautiful packaging it came with.


texts: Does carrying valuable cargo increase odds of being attacked?

texts:
Yesterday while playing No Man's Sky, I found an oceanic planet that contained a multitude of Sac Venom. Whenever I scanned for resources nearby, these popped up everywhere as far as my scanners would go.

A Sac Venom's average value on the market goes for ~26k per item, so it was only natural to stock up on as many as I can. Afterwards, I was carrying about 500K worth of inventory and I made my way to my ship to travel to the closest space station.

Moments after I left orbit, my scanners picked up hostiles nearby and turned off my pulse engines. Typically I would shoot them down and continue, but about 12 ships warped into my area and took me out like I was nothing.

When carrying an abundance of valuable resource, do you have greater odds of being attacked or was this merely bad luck?


texts:
In CoH2 there are victory capture points represented on the mini map by star icons.  Normally there are 3 of these and in standard matches teams start with 500/500 victory points.

How does the victory point system deduct points from your victory point score?

Side Note:

I just played a game where I held the 3 victory points until I still had 500/500 vp and my opponent had 44/500 vp.  My opponent made a force I couldn't counter and captured 2 of the 3 vp's.  I was content to play defensively until i realized i only had 100/500 vp and he still had 44/500 vp over 15 minutes later.  I am very confused on how that is supposed to work, how come he wasnt losing half the amount of vp's when I held one vp capture point?  and yes I lost the game


texts: Why don't my nodes in Fez have pictures on them?

texts: I play Fez on PC. When I get the ability to check the world map, all the nodes are blank, like no pictures. You can still make them gold, they just don't have any pictures. I don't know if this is a bug or not, because I can't find any articles about this.

texts:
Since the alpha 13 and the global upgrading materials system, I was wondering, which is more rewarding regarding the time spent looting/crafting between doing your base with wood then upgrade it to iron or using clay in forge to craft wall or using cobblestone frame with cobble inside.

This 3 types of defense for the first two hordes are pretty great and enough to survive easily but which one is the better regarding the time spent gathering the resources and crafting what is needed?

I'm talking only about the main structure of the base, not about the spike or trap/mine that can be put around to help you defend your position.


texts: Is there a Geiger counter sound in Fallout Tactics?

texts:
Just curious as I've been re-playing this old classic Fallout Game.  I noticed that levels with "green radiation" don't seem to show a geiger counter, or any sort of notification of 'being radiated'.

I only see "Radiated" after the fact of a character receiving a high dose. Maybe I'm just recalling Fallout 3's system.


texts:
I don't have a New 3DS or the NFC Reader thing, so I don't have any Amiibo, and I have no plans to get any. I know that Paper Jam can use Amiibo to create Character Cards that you can use in battle.

Is the fact that I don't have and don't plan to get any Amiibo for this game (or any other) going to limit my ability to progress in this game? Or is everything possible without the Amiibo, just more difficult without them?


texts: What are the exact levels when each tier of spell books becomes available?

When googling this question, I only found forum arguments about this as well as approximate guesses.

So I'm now looking for more accurate answer: At which level of each magic skill do spell books of each tier become available at their respective merchants?


texts: Is there any way i can keep my tiny tower progress?

texts: I've read several other questions and answers like this, and most of them say it's connected to your facebook account or something like that.. but my device is not connected to the internet and never has been. So is there anyway when i can transfer my tiny tower progress on to my new device? (which won't be connected to the internet either?) thank you
