texts: Does this Bedrock gold farm design also work in Java Edition?

texts:
This is the farm:

It uses the block update system of the lava to trigger the portal on and off making zombie piglins to occasionally spawn and be washed down into a killing chamber. There could be two main issues that stop the farm from working in java which are observers observing different blocks, and zombie pigman spawning inside the portal and not on one side. The second problem is easy to fix by adding a couple of turtle eggs to lure them out but the Observing might not work and won't keep the portal up.
I haven't seen this kind of gold farm in java mode. Please help me with this problem.

texts: Is there any reason to hoard skill points in Diablo 2?

texts: Is there any reason to hoard skill points, whether from leveling up or in the form of the occasional quest reward?   Can any benefit be gained by saving the skill points for later, or are they best used immediately?


texts:
I played a Shaman today and he had a Radiant Elemental on the board which reduces spell cost by one, and he had Unstable Evolution which is repeatable and only costs one mana.

So he just played the Unstable Evolution over and over again on a 1-1 minion until it turned into Malygos, then stopped.

Can a player just do this until their time runs out?

What is the limit to card cost? 10? So you get to 10 and then just keep getting different 10 cost minions over and over?

texts: Plane gets damaged while flying, what am I doing wrong?

texts:
I've successfully stolen a small plane from the LS-airport and managed to take off with it.
But after just a few miles, the engines start to degrade, black smoke appeared and I eventually lost height and crashed.

The plane was of course shot at while still on the runway, but only slightly damaged. I don't think a police helicopter could have followed the jet plane for long and I didn't hear further gunshots while flying.

What did I do wrong? Am I not supposed to fly early in the game? Do I need to manually retract the landing gears? Do police helicopters have a really long (and silent) weapons range?

texts: What are the specific rules impacting how much war weariness is applied to each city?

texts:
The Civopedia doesn't provide much information on how "war weariness" relates to location except to say that it is applied to every city you own, and that it is greater when fighting occurs in foreign territory.

There seems to be something more to it though. I've been defending successive invasions from a couple of other civs, and 4 of my cities have 0 war weariness, and one has -6 war weariness. The city around which most fighting occurred has 0 war weariness, the next closest city has -6 war weariness, the two others on the same continent have 0, and a city on another continent has 0.

While I say I've been "defending," much of the fighting happened within range of a nearby city owned by the opposing civ (the cities are only a few spaces apart), so some of this could be considered foreign fighting.

This looks more like a fluke than a game mechanic because there's nothing special about the city with -6, but I could be wrong.

texts: Can I still use the new Battle.net mobile authenticator if my phone does not have internet?

texts:

If my phone does not have internet connectivity when a code is requested, can I still manually enter a code generated by the app that doesn't require internet?


texts: Can I disable or remove Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode?

texts:
I am thoroughly tired of playing Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM). I know this is supposed to be the most challenging mode of all. However, playing it feels like a chore and without anyone to play with I'm forced to adapt to the only survivable playstyle. This is not fun.

I would like to play TVHM, but my character keeps leveling (currently 53). Is it possible to somehow disable or uninstall just the UVHM upgrade pack DLC, reverting my level cap to 50? Also, would that reduce my character's level back to 50 and if not, can I do it in another way?

The game was purchased on Steam and I wish to keep it that way. I already disabled the DLC through Steam, but my character can still be played in UVHM and its level is unchanged.

texts: How am I supposed to kill the frost troll?

texts:
So I've run into two frost trolls so far.

The first one I took advantage of bad pathing which I feel bad about because it ruined the game immersion.

The second one I used a full unrelenting shout and got a bunch of free shots in while it was unconscious, but then had to back off since it really didn't go down more than 1/4 of its life.  I finally took advantage of bad pathing to run past it to the end of the dungeon.

This feels really odd because I have taken down a handful of dragons, including once being attacked by two at the same time.

Is there any good strategy to kill a frost troll which won't make me feel like I'm glitching the game?

In comparison conquering a planet of fungi and adding them in the same way, would there be any problems due to their separation in species.


texts: Where can I find the Vault-Tec lab coat?

Edit: I also checked Vault 111 again and you cannot loot the skeletons or overseer—they just have an "Activate" function and your character says that everyone is dead. I didn't see the lab coat anywhere else there.


texts: What is the use of the floodlight and the scoreboard?

texts:
In the Facebook game,  Top Eleven - Be a Football Manager, there are a lot of buildings which are really useful and which have a description that says things like "Your players have less risk of getting injured while playing on that field", for example.

But the scoreboard, for example, just goes with "It's a key factor for exciting soccer mood", for the floodlight: "It's important for late night games and big events". I can't figure out if I really need to build those things. It seems that I have to build them if I want to upgrade other buildings but I still don't know if I can take any advantage of those things.

texts:
I noticed that I have a junk bag on the lower right hand side of my inventory screen:

I assumed it was to hold worthless material that can just be sold off whenever I find a merchant. However, when I click on it, it doesn't seem to do anything. As you can see in the picture, I currently have some junk in my inventory. Bones, the highlighted item, says in the description that it has "no real value". Shouldn't that item be living in this so-called junk bag?

So how does this junk bag work? I tried to drag things to it and that didn't work and clicking it doesn't do anything either. What am I missing?

texts:
Since the Mann Up mode alters the item drop rate somehow, I'd like to know how the "regular" Mann versus Machine's drop system works.

From my personal experience, so far I dropped two random items at a rate that seems pretty much normal to me.

texts:
Last night I was playing some Go and I found a gym nearby that I could easily take.
Both times I tried fighting it though, the battle timed out because I could not reduce the gym's final mon to 0 HP - it was stubbornly stuck on 1 HP. After speaking to some of my friends, this seems to be a common bug, but it's pretty disheartening for an aspiring gym leader.

While we wait for Niantic to take care of this, are there any workarounds trainers can use to defeat gym leaders?

texts: Why do we want to kill Lord Gwyn at the end of the game?

texts:
I played through Dark Souls and sort of managed to follow the story most of the way, but ended up getting lost towards the end. By the end, I really had no idea why I was fighting Lord Gwyn or what significance rekindling the fire vs letting it die out played.

Can someone explain to me, story-wise, why our character wants to kill Lord Gwyn? If you want to let the fire he kindled die, it makes sense you have to kill him, but I don't understand why you have to kill him if you want the fire to keep burning. Right now the only motivation I understand is "because that's how you end the game".

I am considering buying an Xbox One to play Fallout 4, as my PC currently could not play it as well as a console, so I am going to buy one while I wait for my gaming PC.

texts: What's the fastest/most efficient way to farm Black Marks of Venice?

texts:
I'm looking to upgrade to more epic gear, and PVP gear is a nice parallel means of doing so while sitting on Nightmare lockouts. However, PVP gear is throttled by a limited acquisition currency: Black Marks of Venice. I know that I can get these by capturing a facility in Fusang every half hour, or by winning in El Dorado or Stonehenge.

What I don't know is which of these three gives me the most black marks per unit of time. For the sake of determining what's most efficient for me, (since I understand mileage may vary based on a variety of factors), you can assume that I'm bad at pvp and uninterested in improving much, and that I am playing on a faction/server where I can reliably count on 'my team' to win most PVP matches thanks to population imbalance in our favor. Thus, solutions that maximize the reward for group success as opposed to individual contribution to that success are ideal.

texts: What are some tips to making sharp turns in NFS Carbon?

texts:
Installed NFS Carbon yesterday. And while playing the Canyon Duel, a familiar thought popped up in my head, the same thought that appeared a decade ago when I first played this game. I don't know the correct technique to making sharp turns with a speeding vehicle. I haven't completed many racing games, only NFS Most Wanted (2005), NFS Carbon and some portion of Test Drive Unlimited. So I am pretty much a noob when it comes to racing games.

To put things into perspective, I would like to share my technique:

I mostly use the normal brakes rather than the handbrakes. When a turn is coming up, I leave the accelerator, turn the vehicle in the desired direction and then press the brakes (normal ones). I allow the speed to reduce to an extent such that the car makes the turn without bumping into the wall, leave the brakes and then jam the accelerator. But this method does not seem to be very efficient as my competitor usually makes a better turn and over takes my car. I did try the same logic with handbrakes some times. Felt that my car turned a little faster but I couldn't get a hang of it. Also, most of the times my car lost a lot of speed meaning I wasn't using it correctly.

So, how can I make sharp turns in NFS Carbon without losing much speed? (without using the speed braker)

PS: I use a XBOX 360 controller with my PC to play racing games. My cars usually have grip types rather than drift ones.


texts:
The survival trial had an update with 4.0 and introduced new scrolls to go along with survival trial. I figured out how to use the difficulty switching scroll, but not the other 2.

Refresh scroll just sits in my inventory and doesn't do anything when I click it. It's supposed to allow me to refresh the trial but nothing happens.

The growth scroll is the most common and it's supposed to grant you 10 points to your total score, but I can't seem to use it. I click on the points and the scroll itself in my inventory and nothing seems to happen.

Is there somewhere where I have to activate these scrolls...? How do I use them?

texts: Minecraft Server: Everyone spawns in the ground

texts:
In the MC server I'm in, every player experiences a spawn issue; players spawn in the ground and start to suffocate. After a second or so you then spawn where you would normally spawn.The length of time in the ground depends on the connectivity to the server (the laggier the server, the longer you suffocate).

When you're low HP and you teleport home, suffocation can kill you and I noticed that, after spawning back to the correct location, some of the items lost during death are lying around and some are gone completely. Because of this I believe that the players spawn directly below the spawn point by a few blocks, but I'm not sure...

I've also mined the area I suffocated in, hoping that if I ever spawned there again I would just be in an empty square, but the blocks always respawn.

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

texts:
The only method I have found to satisfy the "luxuries" need for inmates is via a shop.

Does the new ending spoil anything I shouldn't know starting into Automata or is it really just to bridge some questions or create new references/callbacks in the second game?
I know possible answers might be subjective, so please try to consider an as objective standpoint as possible. I don't mind vague answers, if they avoid spoilers.

texts: Why didn't the arcade machines keep on "scaling" as the years went by?

texts:
Growing up in the early to mid 1990s, visiting various arcades was truly fascinating. At home, the SNES already felt amazingly futuristic, and its games endlessly fascinated and impressed me. Yet, stepping into an arcade was like walking into a time machine ten years into the future. (From my perception and understanding of the world at the time.)

Daytona USA, Sega Rally and Cruis'n USA made my jaws drop to the floor and my eyes to become as big as saucers. As far as my mind could tell, these games were almost or basically at photo realism. The thought of ever playing such games at home felt like a joke; it was basically never going to happen.

Even the older arcade machines seemed ancient in comparison to the "big three" new ones I mentioned above. I mean the ones which used "sprite tricks" to build up a fake 3D world rather than actual polygons. Yet even those older ones were far beyond what consumer consoles up until the latter half of the 1990s could achieve at home.

I remember how jealous I was of this kid who had the lousy Virtua Racing port on his Mega Drive.

By the time I got my Sega Saturn and got to play Daytona USA and a demo of Sega Rally at home, in far inferior but still impressive versions (considering the cheap hardware it was ported to), words could not possibly describe how excited I was for the future.

But then, as the 1990s went on, the arcade games stopped impressing. Sega Rally and Daytona USA did get new games in their series, but they were nothing like the originals. By the time the Dreamcast came out, the gap was basically nonexistent. Instead of continuing to release amazingly beefy arcade machines, they started using the lame consumer console hardware! That took away most of the point of the arcade machines to me, the other of course being that you got to sit in a car-like seat with a wheel and pedals.

But why did this happen? Simply stating that "hardware got powerful enough to make affordable consumer devices" doesn't explain anything, because the whole point was that arcade machines could (and always did) cost a lot more than the consumer hardware, for obvious reasons. And that was their appeal; that they could contain expensive and specialized hardware configurations for each game, and deliver mind-blowing experiences.

In the mid-1990s, I was convinced that by year 2000, it would be possible to pay a buck in an arcade to play true photo-realistic simulations. That never happened. Now it's year 2020 and arcades don't at all exist in the form I think of them. The ones that still exist have nothing to do with either the classic 1980s "golden era" games/atmosphere, nor the 1990s "cutting edge hardware" era. It's just a bunch of lame, cheap PCs racked up with ugly chassis around them.

And before you say so, no, I don't consider anything that can be done at home to be "good enough" by any means. Games/simulations have gone backwards since the early 2000s as far as I'm concerned, less and less trying to look and behave like reality. However, this really is besides the point, because my question is why they didn't just keep using the same (obvious) philosophy for the arcades: beef them up with the most powerful hardware that money currently can buy, clustering it up if necessary, to deliver absolutely mind-blowingly realistic and complex 3D worlds which just cannot be done at home.

I don't understand why they seem to have said at some point in the late 1990s or early 2000: "I think we're done now. Let's stop caring." and everyone seemingly went along with it, even though there were endless opportunities to keep making fantastic and ever more realistic simulations.

texts: What sort of hardware was used to transfer Mew at Pokemon Red & Blue worldwide events?

texts:
Many years ago when Pokemon Red / Blue was immensely popular, I attended a Pokemon tour in Melbourne. For attending you got a showbag with a Pikachu trading card (with a gold logo stamped in the top right corner), a book with Episode 1 of the TV show in a comic-book format, some stickers / temporary tattoos and if you brought your game cart along, you could get Mew using some specialised hardware they had.

From recollection (this was 15+ years ago now. Yikes!) the hardware ran a modified version of Pokemon red or blue (not sure which). You'd make a slot (first or last, can't remember) empty in your party, pop your cart in the top of the machine and they'd whack a button on the control pad (a SNES controller, I think?). Mew would transfer over, before the game would "lock up" and revert back to the initial "Press a button to transfer" screen. I don't remember if the revert was automatic or if the attendant had to press a reset button, but it was a rather quick and easy  procedure.

I suspect this hardware maybe used two Super Gameboy 2's (which had a Game Link port, where the original SGB didn't) with a modified GB cart in one, and the other SGB2 modified so you could hot-swap carts so you didn't need to get people to head to Pokemon centers, hook up, start trading etc.

Does anyone have any more information about this hardware? I've got a keen interest in modified Nintendo Hardware (devkits, demo units etc.) and would love to know more.

texts: What is the Freeciv setting to automatically raze or not when capturing a city?

texts:
I've been looking for a freeciv setting that would allow me to choose between razing a city when capturing it and keeping the city. Couldn't find it in the options dialog. I'm asking here to make sure I didn't overlook it.

For now, if I want a city destroyed, I'm using a wave of "Poison city" spy attacks which reduces the population to 1. Then the city gets destroyed when I capture it.

Another way to decrease the population to 1 is using nukes, but this is expensive and has a very negative impact on the ecology, so it doesn't suit me.

texts: How do I tell Legend of Zelda NES versions apart?

texts:
I've recently become interested in collecting old NES games. I'm trying to find an original NES Legend of Zelda game CIB. However, I'm having trouble distinguishing different versions of the game. All of the Legend of Zelda games have a box, owner's manual, cartridge, sleeve, styrofoam, and a map with secrets. However, when I search on eBay for Legend of Zelda games (CIB), I get several variations. Namely, different games vary on extras in the box (i.e. a Nintendo Power poster, an invitation to subscribe to Nintendo, an invitation to join the Nintendo fun club, etc.) According to Wikipedia, the original NES version had the invitation to join the Nintendo fun club, but I really have no idea if that's correct. When I see different Legend of Zelda game boxes, some say Rev 1, others say Rev A. I would like to get as early a release as I can find.

My question is: How can I tell which versions of Legend of Zelda NES are early and which ones aren't? Moreover, is it possible to identify a "first edition" Legend of Zelda game, or anything similar?

I've tried extensive Googling but to no avail. I have found a few different online databases but nothing with the information I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it safe to delete that folder directly? Is there another folder I could delete to recover more space? Is there a way to do it from Steam (this would be preferred)?

texts: How can I get this setup to work properly?

texts:
I have a setup in a space-station with which I want an airlock with two doors: door X & door Y.

I've remade this setup in the Overworld in a smaller fashion to show you how I've got it set up which you can see here:

Before clicking the button (which is located on the back of the gold block behind the pistons), door X is open and door Y is closed, just making sure you don't confuse them :P)

This is supposed to close door X before opening door Y, after which it closes door Y before opening door X.

Although now it's closing door X, a few ticks later it opens door Y, but then it switches them around just about simultaneously again.

I've tried using a T-flip flop instead of this configuration, but that proves to be a bit too laggy on a multiplayer server (the doors bugged out by opening & closing repeatedly even though I only had a single pulse as input)

How can I get this to work as intended without using up TOO much space?

Update: I just thought of another possibility, which is making the button work like a lever (in my case by using pistons) and having 2 seperate outputs which are being toggled with different timings on each output, which works perfectly.

Now another question arises, if this is the way to do this, how do i get it to repeat itself once (so it works exactly the way I want it) without having to press the button again?

texts: How can I properly aim frontal cone attacks?

texts:
Frontal AoE attacks (generally known as "cone" to ranged and "cleave" to melee) such as Cone of Cold and Dragon's Breath are extremely useful in PvP... When they don't miss. However, when they do miss, not only have I wasted a GCD, but I have also opened myself up to attack since I have to be in melee range to make use of them.

When I see other players in PvP (eg. on YouTube), they rarely seem to miss even though the effect of their AoE's don't always visually contact their target.

How can I ensure that I don't miss front AoE attacks?

I bought a 500GB PS4 and 500GB just isn't enough so I was planning upgrade my internal storage with a 2TB DRIVE. A lot of my games are digital and after doing a lot of research, I found out that backing up that digital data and restoring it on another drive, might be a problem and I might have to redownload all my games again which I really wish not to do. Is there a way I could say back up all my data onto a drive and then swap the 500 GB drive with the 2TB and then restore my data onto the 2TB now in the console?
I am asking ahead just to know because if it's not possible, I'd just use the bigger drive as an external extended storage or something. But if it's possible, that'd be great.

One of the many hailed accomplishments of the game was that you could go through however you liked, as a murderous savage ninja, or a sneaky rat never getting caught. I've completed it with almost no kills (a couple of accidents I couldn't be bothered to restart for, plus this) and I want to now run through murdering like a boss.

How? It seems like the only way is to select each level individually. Is this how it was intended or is there some other "mode" I'm missing to play through again.

It feels a little like cheating to play through the early levels with all the gear gained from final levels. But I don't really want to delete saves, I'd prefer to play with the existing data intact.

Not platform dependant question, but I'm on PC

I'm playing the Definitive Edition of Divinity: Original Sin II on the Switch.  According to the internet, in the elf cave south of Fort Joy, there is a Forgotten Cell here containing an undead knight named Lord Withermoore.  It can be found by playing hide-and-seek with Moby, but I must have selected the wrong option the first time I talked to him (I don't even remember what it was!), because talking to him now gives me no options other than ending the conversation.  It is apparently still possible to find the dirt mound covering the hatch leading to the Forgotten Cell on my own, but I can't find it.

This image apparently shows the location of the dirt mound, but the only thing there in my game is a hole in the wall, which when interacted with (as Lohse, Sebille, Fane, and the Red Prince) just gives the message "This hole is too small for you to squeeze into."

This Fandom.com page implies that the dirt mound can be found with sufficient Wits.  All of my characters' Wits are currently at 10.  What is the minimum Wits needed to see the dirt mound?  If I have enough Wits, does the dirt mound show up automatically or do I need to do something to trigger a search of the area?

  a silverwood sapling [is] a prize beyond measure.

So I assume it's not as easy as cutting down silverwood trees. Doing that yields nothing at all, aside from the wood.

Is there something special I have to do to get these saplings, or is it even possible at all? I know the saplings exist as items, but that could just be for server ops to spawn in.

texts: Does a battle drummer outweight a dps unit in a full balanced team?

texts:
I've been playing Endless Frontier for some time now, and I always used a battle drummer in my team since I read his skill and improvement for the team.

I'm currently using a balanced team, with a battle drummer, a frost demon for the front lane and some ranged damage dealers (some with healing or control) equally discarded between magic/physical damage and between each faction.

Given that a battle drummer gives pretty nice boosts to every other team member, I was wondering :

Does a battle drummer really outweigh a damage dealer in a team of 12?

Your answer should be supported with real arguments, like a dps calculation.
If you go for some kinds of calculation using unit stats, you can use any unit you want as it shouldn't matter too much.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II uses a 'pick-10' system for online multiplayer.  Meaning of all the guns, attachments, perks, grenades, and wildcards that you have unlocked, you can pick a combination of only 10 to use at one time.

Although I like this idea, it keeps the playing field more level, I would like to be able pick more than 10, to get some more attachments on my secondary, or use all my wildcard slots, etc.

In offline-multiplayer, every gun and attachment is unlocked for you.  Me and my buddies have played split-screen with a 'pick-17' system, where we were able to fully custom classes using every weapon in a combination of 17 items at once.

Can you increase the max items allowed in online multiplayer?  Do you get an extra one each time you prestige?

If it was a regular (not a pope) vassal, I could try to play with inheritance: ensure my heir has a claim on a dutchy and kill the pope and other successors, but... I believe because the duchy government type is a 'Theocracy' I can't inherit it and the pope is going to be elected...

Are there any options to return duchy for me other than brute force?

Thanks!


texts: Why won't it let me augment my soldiers into MEC Troopers in XCOM?

texts:
So, I just got a few of my soldiers in Enemy Within up to Colonel Rank, and another soldier up to Captain so I decided I was going to make them into MEC Troopers to balance out with my Psionics. However, it won't let me. When I go to select them for the augmenting process their names are grayed out. But I can modify their genes if I want to, though I haven't yet on either of them.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.


texts: What is this metal launcher that appears in airship levels of both Sonic and Kirby games?

texts:
I've seen the following metal object in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic & Knuckles, and Kirby Super Star.

When the player character steps over it, they become attached to the object, the object shoots to the right, then releases the character at high speed before slowly retracting to its original position.

What is this object? Is it based on something in real life, or some common fictional reference?

I notice it's often associated with airship levels: Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic 2, Flying Battery Zone in Sonic & Knuckles (pictured), and the various Battleship Halberd stages in Kirby Super Star. However, it appears in other locations in the latter two games, such as Death Egg Zone in S&K.

Is there something special to do with the armor you get at the end of the Gree(Republic)/Revanites(Empire) quest line?

For a quest level 17, it gives you an orange armor with 25-30 armor. Those who play Swtor know that for that level, it's pretty much sucky as hell.

So does this armor have some special ability I should be aware of, of some utility? Or is it just a massive troll from the Swtor team?

texts:
I am playing Hollow Knight entirely blind, and I seem to have gotten myself stuck in Crystal Peak. Here's the map as I can see it:

There are five things on the map which might be exits. Unfortunately, all of them are inaccessible or extremely difficult.

The first part of this long cavern is crossable with a super dash, but unfortunately the last part of the cavern has a long vertical drop following by a long width of crystal-covered floor too wide to cross with a dash. You can charge a super dash on top of the adjacent platform, but the resulting way across is blocked by another wall.
This is how I first got into the cavern, but it's now at the bottom of a long wide well with overhangs to prevent wall-jumping.
A dark passage, blocked. I can see the silhouette of what looks like a toll tower, but I can't interact with it.
Only accessible with a high jump that I don't seem to have.
A dark passage with a crystal floor. This is the most frustrating, because it seems to be crossable in theory, but it's dark and there's a crystal hunter flying around making it exceedingly difficult to get across.

I may have done things in an unusual order, because I don't have a light source or a double-jump, either of which would make some of these passages accessible.

Abilities I do have: wall jump, dash, super dash, as well as sharpened nail, blade whirl, vengeful soul (ranged magic attack), and downward magic strike (breaks floor). Sorry that I don't recall the precise names of any of them.

(Please make answers as spoiler-free as possible).

texts:
When it comes to RPGs, I am a hoarder. Specifically, I want to be able to pick up all items, identify them, sell all the useless stuff, and keep everything that might be useful.

NetHack makes this difficult because:

It is very easy to become overburdened, especially lugging around weapons and armor. Being overburdened and using stairs means you'll probably fall down them.
In many cases, there are many more items than there are means to identify them. Things that could be sold must be held instead, on the off chance that they'll ID into something awesome.
There is no player-owned bank or stash.
It may take many dungeon levels to find a shop that buys what you want to sell.
Lots of trips hauling stuff back and forth deplete food, a precious resource.

In light of these restrictions, what strategies can I use that allow me to hang on to as many (ID'd) useful items as possible and maximize my profits from selling non-useful items? Right now, I haul whatever I can carry without being overburdened, but I'm forced to leave many items behind.

Will my old Nintendo ID prevent me from redownloading titles on my new ID?

texts: Speed run of Black Temple: Which bosses to kill?

texts:
In preperation for Cataclysm, our guild is attempting to start work on obtaining legendaries from Classic and The Burning Crusade. This means, in part, doing a run at Illidian as often as we can pull one off.

Having never raided in The Burning Crusade, I'm a bit unclear as to what bosses we have to kill to get to Illidian. From a brief glance at the map on Wowhead, it looks like we can skip most of the instance, going directly from the entrance, to Supremus, then to the Den of Mortal Delights, killing Mother Shahraz and the Illidari Council, then heading to the Temple Summit to kill Illidian.

Is this right? Or is there a portal / door somewhere that doesn't open until we've killed all the additional bosses as well? For example, in ICC, it is impossible to kill the LK without killing the end-wing bosses. (And it was similarly true in Naxx before that.)

Any advice on this front is welcome.


texts: Giving a minecart momentum with a piston

texts:
I am trying to setup a situation where I press a button and a minecart is pushed onto some powered track where it is then boosted up and giving a good speed.

This is what I tried (cross-section):

[P]M____

 ^ piston
   ^ minecart
    ^^^^ powered track

When I give power to the piston, the minecart gets shoved onto the powered track fine, however it just rests there. In order to get it boosted by the powered track, I have to manually touch it.

Is there a way to get the cart boosted automatically when it gets pushed onto the track?

Note: I would like to not use fire as an indicator, as someone could light the block on fire (unless fire from lightning has a data tag that I can use to distinguish it from flint and steel).


texts: How to get "normal" spawning behavior after installing Spigot?

texts:
My brother in law is running a small server for a few of us to play on. He recently installed Spigot so that we could have a Dynamic Map. However, after he did that, I noticed that spawning behavior (among other things) has changed. I have two questions:

Why does Spigot default to changing spawning behavior? Why not leave it vanilla and have the option to change?
What are the best settings in the bukkit.yml file that will most closely mimic vanilla spawning? He and I have worked on it, and we've gotten hostile spawns close to normal - they're still a bit high, but better than before when they were maxing out at about 30. Passive mobs, however, are spawning in huge numbers compared to normal - I feel like I'm playing Beta where you can spawn passives just by lighting up grass at night!

After hours of gameplay, I'm finally starting to get a grasp of the battle system. Rather than wailing away, I'm trying to take my time and actually react to enemy movements. I'm bad at it, but I'm learning.

However, one thing I can't figure out is how to heal in battle without using items or taking control of Mikleo to cast the healing spell (he doesn't seem to like using it on his own).

Is there some built-in way for characters to heal? I know that light blue health can be healed by Armatizing, which comes in handy, but has a few issues. First, I don't actually know what specific actions generate light blue health, and second, it seems only Sorey can actually make use of this. How would I, for example, prevent Alisha from dying if she gets low? I can take control of her and run away and cower, but that doesn't actually restore health.

What actions restore health in combat?

I made the map inside a house I built somewhere...but since it's not showing where I built the house and I've respawned in different places after making this map it seems useless.

Why isn't it not showing where I am? Does it have to do with spawning at different places? (I used multiple beds because I move around alot).

texts:
I've been playing Quake 4 since it's release day, and I've noticed there's either a v-syncing or caching issue where the framerate seems to jump for a split second every second or so,  I've been calling it a heart-beat all these years.

I first noticed it on my ATI X800 Pro many years ago, assumed it was some weird gpu thing and didn't think much of it.  Later I got a GTX 460, while it was much smoother, this weird ticking still occurred.  Now I'm using one of the fastest GTX 580s ever made, and seemingly no matter what I do to the settings, I can smooth it out a little, but that micro-stutter is still there every second or so.

Did anyone ever figure out what this was?  I've seen this on Intel Cpus, AMDs...Laptops...Desktops...Xeons...Opterons...With SMP, without SMP....I'm not sure what could be causing it outside of just plain bad code that never got addressed.

There is also the default key "tilde (~)" that will allow to target only champions.

The main problem is that when kiting an enemy champions and if there is an enemy minions closer to me than the enemy champions, I would start attacking the minion rather than the champions (when using "attack move click")

So is there any key binding to allow for attacking move click to kite while only targeting champs? If not, is there any "trick" that would allow for such move?

NB: I found some kind of answer on reddit but I don't understand it, and I'm not sure it is actually a correct answer.


texts: How to play Diablo III in a Virtual Machine?

texts:
I saw a lot of people asking the same question in other forums (yes, i've googled it a little bit), and some people answered that of course is possible to play it in a Virtual Machine but only using VMWare, some other people said that isn't possible even in VMWare, and the people who said that it's possible and also who said they have virtualized Diablo III doesn't gave proofs.

I know that VirtualBox application does not offer GPU support, the Video Card is completelly virtualized and only has 256 MB, so is not possible to run/play Diablo III (i've tried it), now I'm trying to play in VMWare Workstation 'cause it have physical access to the host graphics and GPU acceleration and I've read that Diablo III can be played with VMWare, well, I've installed VMWare guest tools pack, and I've installed and updated Diablo III from the Battle.Net app, but when I try to run the game it seems to load but it only shows a black screen after the loading screen (but I can hear the music foreground game and I can see the Diablo III custom cursor on the black screen)

My host OS is Windows 8.1 x64, guest OS is Windows 7 x86, with 4 GB of virtual memory, I have an nVidia GTX 650 video card, and I've tried to run Diablo III Reaper of souls.

I've installed the last DirectX and the .NET Framework 4.5 on the guest OS, I've also tried to specify different compatibility checks on the game executable, but nothing changed, I still can't see/play the game.

So... if someone is really able to play Diablo III on a VirtualMachine please illustrate me with the steps to reproduce it with all the details such as the OS, the OS arquitecture, the given virtual memory, libraries/software installed, diablo3 or diablo3-Reaper of souls etc... ...everything.

Thankyou for read.
