texts: Does StatTrak™ track any stats other than kills?

texts:
I've acquired a weapon in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive whose description includes the following:

  This weapon features StatTrak™ technology, which tracks certain statistics when held by its owner.

And indeed, when I have the weapon equipped or look at its description in my inventory, the number of "Confirmed Kills" I've achieved with it is displayed.

However, the description doesn't just say it tracks kill, it says it tracks "certain statistics", plural.

Do StatTrak™ actually track any statistics other than kills, or is the description misleading? If it does, where can these statistics be viewed?

texts: How can I kill assasination targets quickly and quietly?

texts:
There are some optional missions where you have to kill some targets (yellow targets) without been discovered.

Theses missions are ridiculously harder for me than others of the same levels, but I've achieved it spending a lot of time hiding from guards (red targets) and after using the hidden blade to kill the target.

The problem is that in block 5, these missions have maximum time and I don't know how to kill the yellow targets faster without been discovered.

Any idea?


texts: In Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, I missed a few cutscenes for various reasons and feel like I've missed a few key plot points.

texts: Do Reflections/Gauntlets of Strength contribute to Dragonrot, and can I increase my stats when I fight them?

texts:
In the free update, they added "Reflections of Strength" for boss fights, which gives the advice that it "does not affect reality" in terms of items, etc. To me, this seems like Sekiro is meditating upon previous battles.
I have gained my first Reflection against Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa, and my first impression is that he is much stronger then my previous encounter with him.
So my question is two-fold: does defeat (and the use of resurrection) lead to Dragonrot, and can I increase my stats/abilities to contribute to this fight?

texts: Why did all my cool power armors turn into rusty T-45's?

texts:
I had 5 sets of power armor in Sanctuary, and before I saved and stopped playing, I took out all the cores. However, when I started playing again there were pieces missing and paint jobs had been reset back to default state.

My Sanctuary is well guarded, with a 198 defense, and good happiness levels. I deleted my character, and started a new one, but the same thing happened again.

Why does this happen? How do I fix this?


texts: Do covenant or items affect White Sign Soapstone match-making?

-3 tiers downward / +1 tier upward

Does being part of the Heirs of the Sun convenant (or any covenant) affect the tier ranges for using White Sign Soapstones? Do any items such as the Guardian's Seal affect it?


texts:
I just had a nice encounter with Medusa. Unfortunately I didn't survive it.

This fight seems quite a bit nastier than the other legendary creatures I already killed. The beam she casts seems quite deadly, and while I didn't test it I assume it'll turn me to stone if I stay out of cover long enough. But the most dangerous part was the other attack, three circles on the ground that don't need line of sight. They did hit me rather well while I was hiding behind a pillar, and I didn't manage to avoid them often enough.

The thing that killed me in the end was that I ran out of adrenaline, and couldn't refill it to heal.

How can I defeat Medusa? Any particular tricks, or any tips on how to avoid her attacks?

texts: Client #2 in Sega Rally 2 locks up at race start in multiplayer

texts:
We have an european Sega Rally 2 arcade machine with dual consoles (two racing seats, not the complete car version, named "twin"). Both consoles work as they should in single player, and they both show the racing action from the other client. However, when launching a multiplayer game, client #2 (of 2) locks up at the start (during the countdown) or right after the countdown has finished.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what can be the error? Is it possible the link cable is borked, or that the master/slave setup should be switched around? (it's currently the slave that locks up).


texts: Is modding Xbox 360 games difficult or dangerous to the game/system/saved files?

texts:
I'm a huge fan of visual mods but I often only see mods done by PC gamers and not console gamers.

I've heard that in order to mod a console game all you need to do is download the mod onto a USB and stick that into your console. Is it really that easy?

I ask if it is difficult because i've never seen Xbox gamers use visual mods that make the game look cool/more interesting. I've only seen players mod or hack the game for online purposes.

Which brings me to my next question,

If modding isn't (or even if it is) difficult to do on an Xbox 360 can it be dangerous to the game or the system itself?


texts: Do vendors ever have any information to share?

texts:
For as long as I can remember whenever I'd have the option to ask 'What's new?' to a vendor in Fallout 4, they'd always say they haven't heard anything and insist we go back to talking about bartering.

Do any NPCs actually ever have information to share? If so, who does, or do I have to do something to give them something to talk about (ex: I become Minuteman General which causes vendors to then say "I've heard the Minutemen are coming back!")?

I'm not asking for answers to these specific examples, but rather a general way to identify the "Magic" weapons.

texts: Effective methods for fighting mining-related lag?

texts:
I love me some 5x3 embark areas; but as soon as I really cut into the bedrock; I quickly drop from 100/50 FPS to 25/15 FPS (exaggeration alert!). In fact, the most common cause of fortress abandonment for me isn't Goblin Sieges, it isn't lava-related Fun, it's not tantrum spirals, it's terrible lag, even when running a population cap of 20.

From what I hear; it's more or less accepted that in the current version, the main culprit is mining and loose stone; and even turning all of the stone into constructions doesn't seem to help much.

Then again; building a playable fortress while staying squarely inside the three or four levels of soil on a "very deep soil" embark seems very undwarvely…

So how can I undertake massive digging projects and avoid terribletastic lag?


texts: How do I quit being a russian Tsarina and turn swedish?

texts:
So I joined the Muscovite Tsardom, overthrew that rubbish Dmitry guy through the main quests, and became Tsarina! Huzzah! I've been leading our armies to victory over those incessantly war-hungry Swedes.

Unfortunately, I have more than a few vassals who are too.. quarrelsome. Anything I seem to do, they get upset, and despite my brilliant leadership, I'm now banned from half the russian fortresses in the land!

I'm starting to tire of being Russia's tsarina, with all the annoyed lords and the vomit-green colour we adopted for our signs. Though my bloodline claims to russian royalty are obviously legitimate and unquestionable, I'm thinking of being the rightful heir to the Swedish throne, or maybe starting my own, rebellious queendom.

Unfortunately, I can't find any way to abdicate the position as head of state for Russia! I can't seem to offer my vassalship to Swede King Carl Gustaf, who I have great relations with; I can't fight for a claimant because they think I'm too loyal to myself; And nobody I talk to in Russia wants to discuss my abdication, despite all the hate.

Jacques Cleménte always says he's too busy to talk, too, I thought we could reminisce about the old times, but even he's beginning to dislike me, clearly.

Is there any way to free myself from these political shackles, or am I cemented in the peoples' minds as a russo-primadonna? I'm willing to consider reality-bending cheats, if they're the only option.

texts: G-con45 gun wont work with LCD TV PS1 Time Crisis Project Titan

I've just raked out my old PS1 Mini console as I bought The G-Con45 Gun Controller to play Time Crisis Project Titan, alas the controller is picked up but wont shoot at the screen when calibrating I was wondering if it was something to do with the LCD screen? does the gun not fire at LCD TVs or am i not setting it up correctly?

My set up:

Scart lead connected to back of TV and PS 1 with the gun Video Cable connected to the Input on the scart wire (maybe a few inches down from the connector for the PS1), the gun in controller port one and my TV is in gaming mode. I've tried all resolutions of the screen and no luck what gives?


texts: What is the pinout of the GameShark Pro’s SharkLink cable?

texts:
I got a used GameShark Pro (for Nintendo 64) but it did not have the manual, code book, or SharkLink serial cable. It currently says there is 15% free space on the cartridge, so I’d like to connect it to my computer and transfer some more codes to it. I’ve looked around and found a copy of the SharkLink software, but I need a cable to connect it to my PC. I have found two differing discussions about the cable.

In one, the SharkLink cable has a female 9-pin connector on one end to connect to the serial port of a PC, and a male 25-pin connector on the other end to connect to the port on the back of the GameShark. The problem is that this requires an adapter, but there is no one, standard way to adapt 9-to-25 (especially for proprietary systems). I searched for pinouts, but could not find any.

In the other discussion, it is indeed a 25-to-25 pin cable that connects to the parallel port.

Does anyone know which it is? Does anyone know what the pinout for the SharkLink cable is? Does anyone have one that they can check to find out? I doubt that it is printed in the manual, but it is simple to find out with a digital multimeter.


texts: What's the "best" Fleet composition for powering through sorties?

texts:
I've hit a wall with my sorties and am unable to go past 2-4, both because my fleet never actually moves to the boss node, or when we get there, we are usually too weakened to stand a chance.

Currently my fleet consists of Haruna-FBB(flag), Akagi-CV, Aoba-CA, Yuubari-CL, Jintsuu-CL, and Shimakaze-DD all leveled in the high teens.

My question is what should I even be going for in a fleet composition to clear sortie 2-4? Am I just underleveled? Also, in general what is a good all-around fleet.


texts: What exactly is required for a town building?

texts:
I prefer the so-called 3x3 grid; and I notice that the center square often does not build. I have added to several towns an extra road piece (one of the side squares) to give road access to that center square; yet it still does not build, even after all other squares in the same block have built and blocks more distant from town center are well built, too.

Meanwhile, a town constantly adding population will, on occasion, build on a square that has not got road access; the new building may be a square away. This can happen if towns are not allowed to build their own roads and player doesn't build them, either.

So road access, while it seems to contribute, is neither necessary nor sufficient for a new building.

It's certainly clear that a well-serviced town grows quickly while an unserviced town hardly grows at all. So station service to the town is vital. But should a square fall within some serviced station's catchment area to build? Again, I've seen growth outside of any catchment area so this is not necessary; but perhaps it's a particular incentive.

Does terrain affect building? That is, is building on a square encouraged or discouraged by rough terrain, trees, slopes (building on slopes enabled), rocks, or freshly cleared bare land?

What other factors affect the likelihood that a given square will build?

Game mechanics is silent on this topic. Browsing forums turns up a scattering of information, much conflicting and some almost certainly wrong. What's the truth?

2012-02-12: Experiment suggests a square may be more likely to build if two or more road tiles are adjacent -- meaning any of the surrounding 8 squares. A single adjacent road tile provides little or no incentive; two may be barely sufficient; three or more encourages. So corners of a block, which are adjacent to 5 road tiles, often build first. Note that a single straight road provides 3 adjacent road tiles. So I've been running an extra road in newly developed town (I never allow town to build roads), cutting the block down to a 2x3. When the center square builds, I remove the extra road. This works... sometimes.

2012-02-14: Some forum posts suggest that towns want to build "evenly"; that is, they will avoid building on squares more distant from town center until squares are build nearer. This is a stronger statement than merely to say it's more likely that a near square will build than a far square: near construction gates far construction.

Example: I'm now seeing two towns, roughly alike, both bounded by water, each composed of 4 blocks. In one, town center is equidistant from the sea on all sides; in the other, town center is a corner almost sticking out over the water. The former grew, the latter does not, despite all encouragement for 30 years. There is one big buildings in that one off-center-center corner; all the rest is small houses and vacant land.

I'd like to see this confirmed in source. Towns will build far before near is absolutely solidly built; what's the function?


texts: Lagging behind in levels, how do I catch up?

texts:
I have been playing Torchlight 2 on "normal" difficulty using LAN multiplayer with a friend.  This is the first time we play and I'm not experienced with this type of games.

At the entrance of each quest there's an indication of what character level is recommended.  Until now this always matched my character level (more or less).

Somewhere in Act II we find ourselves with level 27 characters and only level 31 quests available.  It's proving too hard.  How can we level up our characters before tackling this quest?  All other side quests are finished, and I cannot find more monsters to kill.

texts: Redeeming a 3DS game code without installing the game?

texts:
A while ago I bought a Friends of Nintendo Humble Bundle, which came with quite a few codes. I still have the codes, as I couldn't find a way through the 3DS to redeem the games without installing them immediately. This is troublesome, as the first one I downloaded was Street Fighter IV, which took up quite a lot of my available blocks, and I am keen to play it for now! Although I could just redeem the code, install the game and then uninstall it, this takes up some time and can be a bit of a nuisance.

I was wondering if there was a way to redeem these codes and not install them, so I can just go to my download software page and install them whenever I want at a later date, similar to how Steam handles the game library.

Informations you may need:

Mod for dragons: Ice and Fire
Mod for graves: erebus
Grave id: erebus:block_of_bones
Server software: Magma

Thanks in advance,

texts:
I understand that repairing an item requires two items of the same type, and that putting them together in a crafting area will create a new item with more durability than the ones being repaired, but I'm wondering about the numbers behind the action.

Is the act of repairing items merely a convienience or is it actually beneficial to get the most out of said items.

Example: Two diamond shovels. If they have 10 uses left each, and I put them into a crafting area to repair them, do I get an item with 20 uses left, or does it actually give me MORE uses in the new item than the sum of the uses left in each damaged item?

texts: What are all the different categories of weapons and what upgrades are available for them?

texts:
In Mass Effect 2, weapons fell into six categories:

Assault Rifles
Shotguns
Sniper Rifles
Submachine Guns
Heavy Pistols
Heavy Weapons

Are these types the same in Mass Effect 3? Are there new weapon types?

Also, upgrades in Mass Effect 2 are not weapon-specific modifications. Instead, the player obtains upgrades through research which apply across an entire weapon type. For example, an Assault Rifle Damage upgrade will boost the damage output of all assault rifles that the player owns, not just a specific model.

Does this research oriented system exist in ME3 or are they only weapon specific?


texts:
Note: this question is partially related to the Tribunal

Recently I went to try and review cases in the Tribunal (I recently turned lv. 20), but it wouldn't let me no matter what I did.

My honor hasn't been reset (because if you get a punishment from them it should be reset), and I can't really tell if I am facing/receiving a punishment or not. Is there anyway to tell if I'm facing/receiving a punishment? I'm very confused.

texts:
Is there a quick way to directly jump to the loadout menu in Team Fortress?  Right now it seems you have to Press , to load the change class menu, then click EDIT LOADOUT, then select the class, and finally make my loadout selections.

This similar question has no satisfactory answers, and is not asking the same thing.  I don't want to switch sets of weapons, I simply want to get directly to the loadout menu with less clicking.

texts: Do Citizens Gather Resources Based On Needs?

texts: I was playing Banished and just started a new town.  All was doing well until I saw that I had very little stone and iron and needed to build around 4 more houses.  I already had a section of the map selected for my citizens to gather resources so I decided to wait.  Then I noticed that instead of going to the nearest part of the selected area to cut down trees they went and gathered stone and iron that was much further.  This leads me to my question.  Do citizens gather resources based mainly on need?


texts: Does Wii MotionPlus enhance the accuracy of games created prior to its existence?

texts:
Regarding the Wii Remote + MotionPlus / Wii Remote Plus, I know the added gyroscope allows better accuracy with games which specify compatibility.

Does using the MotionPlus on a regular controller enhance the accuracy received by other games?

For example, should I be using it when I play Boom Blox or Boom Blox Block Party?

If it only enhances some earlier games, is there a master list?


texts: Civ 5 - told I lack iron but have an iron mine?

texts: Is there an optimum way to level up characters?

texts:
Characters have growth stats, which determine how much raw stats each character gets when leveling up. It appears to me that the size of growth depends on how many stars the character currently sits at. So, the main question I have is: What is the optimal way to level up characters so that their stats and power is maximized?

Here are some related questions that have occurred to me on the question of optimization (the validity of these questions will depend on what the optimal path is):

Would it be optimal to max out a character's stars first, then level it up?
Or does leveling up a character and then later promoting it to a higher number of stars recoup the stats you missed out on the levels you've earned?
Does equipment come into play when determine the stats gained when a character levels up?
If there is an optimal leveling path, is there any way to correct a character's stats that was leveled up sub-optimally?

texts: Why would my new GTX 460 not outperform my old 8800 GT?

texts:
I just purchased an Asus ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5 to replace my Asus EN8800GT TOP/G/HTDP/512M.

For reference, here is a comparison chart of the approximate cards on Tom's Hardware.

I ran the Crysis GPU benchmark with results of:

8800GT = approximately 32FPS
GTX460 = approximately 32FPS - no increase in performance.

The Crysis settings for both tests were exactly the same for each test. And the test were run 3 times on each card.

Any ideas why the results would be nearly identical? Would this be a case where my older system is limiting any further FPS increase regardless of the video card I use?

My current system specs:

Motherboard: Asus A8N SLI Premium
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+
Memory: 4 gigs Corsair DDR-400 (XMS-3200C2)
HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache
OS: Win XP x86
All drivers are up to date. System is kept extremely clean and updated.

Thanks for any input/insight you can provide.


texts: Any reason *not* to trade Fallen Legion Artifacts to Vulgrim?

texts:
I've been playing Darksiders. In the course of beating the souls out of dumpsters, traffic cones, and sign posts, I discovered a Fallen Legion Artifact.

The game helpfully popped up "Ooh, take this to Vulgrim and be rewarded!" So I did, and on Vulgrim's interface there was a new "press R to trade artifacts". I did so... and nothing seemed to happen.

The button disappeared, so I think I did trade something, I'm just not sure what I did. What does trading artifacts to Vulgrim do, and is there any reason not to?


texts: How do I counter a Man-at-Arms as an Archer in melee?

texts:
Sometimes I find myself facing a Man-at-Arms 1v1 in melee as a Bow Archer. Against other classes I can usually put up a decent fight; however, due to the very short range of Archer secondary weapons, the high mobility of the Man-at-Arms class and their special dodge ability, I always find it very difficult to land a single strike or kick on a MAA before getting overwhelmed, and likewise, trying to run away from them is well nigh impossible.

What's the most effective tactic to counter a Man-at-Arms in such a situation?

texts:
I always seem to get dominated by zombies as I am either not strong enough yet, or I have made poor choices spending my leadership points [on troops that are not good to fight against specific zombies].

I normally spend the majority of my points on the sword warriors.  If I can get a good line of those to stay alive, I purchase bowmen, and save for a priest.

Also, I tend to run behind enemy lines to take out their archers.  I manly use the Lethargy and divine ability.

I am looking for methods that do NOT involve spending money IRL.

Alternatively, is there a way to recover one of the past save files so I don't have to start from scratch?

Something wrong with my hamachi? Or a nation wide problem?

texts: Which one is more profitable to farm? Higher priced items or more farmability items?

texts:
Say there are 2 items. Let's ignore gem. Also let's ignore time spent on planting because that's miniscule.
For example, wooden platform vs grass. Wooden platform seed worths 65/WL. Grass worth 200/WL.
However, grass grow easily. The seed ratio per refarm is 1.8. For wooden platform, the seed ratio per refarm is 1.2. That is, 200 seeds planted get all the blocks, and destroy all the blocks and I get 240 seeds. With grass, I got 1.8*200, I got 1.6 360 seeds.
Which one I should farm to max out WL per hour?
Okay so we have 2 items. We have farmability ratio f, price p. Which one is more profitable per hour for the same number of blocks destroyed?
Well. Assume seed shows up in blocks 25% of the time. Always. For all goods. I am not sure if the math is correct here. Also presume that difference of farmability depends only on differences of number of blocks produced.
To produce 200 seeds of grass, I will need to destroy 800 grass blocks. However, I want to keep my original grass of seeds. Now the math gets fussy. So there are extra blocks that I should destroy just to keep the original seeds intact. The number will be less for grass and for wooden platform.
I would say the number will be f/f-1 * 800 grass blocks. So for grass, I need to destroy 1.8/.8 times 800 grass blocks.
For wooden platform I need to destroy 1.2/.2 * 800 wooden platform blocks.
For some things to be profitable the number of platform blocks to be destroyed must be more than the price ratio.
So item 1 should be more profitable than item 2 if and only if
(f1/f1-1)/p1 is less than (f2/f2-1)/p2
Is this correct?

texts: What are the different ways to get ascended gear?

texts:
I came back to Guild Wars 2 after a long period, and at that time exotic was the highest tier for armor and weapons, but now ascended gear exists in those slots.

I found out that the normal way to get ascended gear is to level armorsmith and weaponsmith to 500 and craft them, creating account bounded gear.

As crafting isn't really my thing, I would like to avoid it as much as possible, so is there any other way to get ascended gear ?

Some of my items has a yellow border instead of a white one.

It seems to me that this coincides with items where I have gotten all the upgrade slots. Specifically I see that an item where I have opened up all the upgrade slots, but not yet used them, is still white.

Can someone verify that this is what it means, yellow = fully upgraded, or if it means something else, what it means then?


texts: Power golden rails from minecart(placing rails in large scale)

texts:
Is there any way how to power golden rails from within minecart? What I mean is placing rails on the go and also some way of powering them immediately.

To place them on the go is easy, I just put a minecart with a furnace behind me and hold "use" button for placing them, but if I place the golden ones, they're deactivated, so they slow me down.

The only thing I can think of are detectors, but those are pretty much useless here, because:

the time the golden rails stay active is the same as if I'd use a button
switching between items even with numbers on keyboard is slow

When I played minecraft PE, there it was directly placing powered rails(redstone didn't work). Isn't in PC version something similar? Or maybe some way for placing two items at the same time?


texts: Why did Caesar's Legion become hostile to me?

I have been neutral to Caesar's Legion, and have not done anything to make them aggressive towards me. I went to see the enslaved Powder Gangers, but I didn't set them free. The Legion was nice to me.

I didn't see any Legion members until I reached New Vegas and was offered an audience with Caesar himself. I received a coin and was told to go meet him. I fast-traveled back to the location with the slaves and the Legion had turned hostile to me.

After killing them, I continued onwards and met more Legion that weren't hostile, started talking to me about the quest, and who then became hostile.

Anyone have an idea what happened?

texts: Is there any useful strategy for when to take defender bonus?

texts:
When one places one or more Pokémon in Gyms, a "Defender Bonus" becomes available via a shield in the upper right corner in the shop screen. The couple of times that I've put Pokémon into gyms, I have later on clicked on the shield and received some items (quantities of stardust and gold, if I recall correctly), and the shield then shows a countdown timer until the next bonus is available (I believe - haven't actually had any Pokémons in Gyms long enough to find out). The bonus doesn't just automatically happen, one needs to trigger it by clicking on the shield.

Does anyone know of some especially good strategy for when to claim the rewards? Is it better to wait until many Pokémons are assigned to different gyms? Does taking the bonus after placing your first one keep you from accruing bonuses for subsequent Pokémons placed in gyms until the original timer runs out? Does the amount of bonus vary depending on when you claim it, or is it fixed for the number of Pokémon one currently has in Gyms? (Or somewhat random, but not influenced by timing?) Is there any association to calendar days, or is it strictly a countdown timer? (i.e. If the time is currently close to midnight, is there any particular reason to hurry to accept the bonus before, or to delay until after, midnight?). Thanks!

texts:
I find the early and mid-game great fun: there's excitement and challenge as I explore the world, found cities, and challenge the other players. But then the end-game almost always turns into mind-numbing slog.

For example, right now I'm playing 8-player vs. AI. I've reached the point I always seem to reach: it's basically inevitable that I'll win now, but I still have to give repetitive orders to tens of cities for a hundred or more turns to wrap it up. I go in hoping for an interesting victory condition, but I usually fall back on Conquest since that ends the monotony a little quicker.

A friend of mine has the same experience. Are we doing something wrong, or do we just lack the needed patience? Are Civ end-games usually longer and less challenging than the openings?


texts:
How do I create a random team chooser for Minecraft?
answers helped me out a lot with my KitPVP Teams map but I have one more thing I need to do. I have to make the teams spawn in different areas. In more detail, I need command blocks to tp you to your team's spawn point when you join the team. I've tried having two command blocks set to impulse unconditional AlwaysActive that have the command:

/tp @a[team=(team name)] (xyz)

This isn't working and I can't think of anything else that would work. Changing it to repeat would make you frozen in the spawn point. Can anyone help with this?

texts: Why does the AI always attack Player 2 (my brother)?

texts:
I play a lot of Age of Mythology with my brother, and 9 out of 10 games he gets attacked early by the AI, and often these attacks might last the entire game, relentlessly.
I'm always the host, the setup usually looks like this:

Player 1: Me (Team 1)
Player 2: My brother (Team 1)
Player 3: AI (Team 2. Mode: Standard. Difficulty: Hard)
Player 4: AI (Team 2. Mode: Standard. Difficulty: Hard)

I'm usually able to build a stronger economy early on, and I'm often leading the score. I wonder if that might cause the AI to attack him because he's weaker?
Is there some way that I can increase the aggro of the AI on me, so that it attacks me more often as well?

texts: Will monsters spawn in a Minecraft dungeon if you flood the floor?

texts:
If you place water to completely flood the floor area around a monster spawner, will it prevent monsters from spawning? Or can monsters still spawn in water? The wiki says:

  It tries 4 times to place the mob at a random position in an 9 x 9 x 9 area, and gives up on placing that mob if it cannot find a valid position after the 4 attempts.

So is a block with water flowing over it valid? I'm asking both from the perspective of neutralizing a dungeon (making it safe) and from designing a dungeon trap (a floor with water flowing over it would direct mobs to the trap, but would it also prevent them from spawning in the first place).

Problem

I want to create a new Minecraft Server using Bukkit.
I have an old world that I want to be part of the new world. So I edited the old one with MCEdit, i.e. surrounding it with Bedrock and creating new chunks far from that old world and moving the spawn point there.

Questions

Copy existing "world" to new Server: Is it correct to copy a "world"-folder and only deleting the "players"-folder in it? Or do I have to adapt more than that to have a properly functioning world afterwards?
Random Seed: In the resulting world, I do not want to have any limitations of world generation because I flicked something together there. In MCEdit I can change the RandomSeed number. Is it of any importance that this number is the same like the one in the "server.properties"-file of the new Server will be? (In MCEdit I create the "start" of the new world, far away of the old. This will only be one to a few chunks.) When leaving RandomSeed in server.properties blank, it will use different Seeds every time, right? Than it would be no problem I guess.
World generation: Because I take the old world, generated with an older Minecraft version, as a starting point, will this limit the world generation in newer Mincraft versions? Does the world folder somehow contain generation parameters apart from the RandomSeed so even with a newer Minecraft version the world is still generated like it would be in the old version?

texts: Why does my money disappear in the GTA V stock exchange?

texts: I recently watched a video showing me that if I ignored all of Lester's assassination missions until after the big score, I could make a ton more money. The first step after the big score was to invest all of the money you had into Debonaire Cigarettes, which should give you a huge return after you complete Lester's next assassination mission. I put all 41 million dollars I had into Debonaire, and it all disappeared. It said my portfolio was empty, and I only had $68 left. Luckily I turned auto save off, but can someone explain this to me? The only thing I can think of is that this is rockstars way of telling people not to exploit the stock market. ( Playing on Xbox One)

texts: Is there a way to 'back up' in the campaign in Borderlands 2?

texts:
I must have played with a friend who was further than I in the campaign at some point because I just recently reached a point in the game where I was asked this question;

  Do you wish to skip over the missions you've completed in other play sessions or continue as normal?

I chose to continue, as I can't remember anything I've done with anyone else, its been too long. No problems, except about 5 minutes later I accidentally moved ahead too far, too fast, and skipped some dialogue I actually wanted to hear.

To solve this issue, my plan of action was to end-task to skip the auto-save process, and redo the mission and listen to the dialogue. Upon starting the game up, instead of starting at the beginning of the mission, I started at what I think is the end of all the missions it originally asked if I wanted to skip.

Is there any way to fix this? I'm playing on PC.


texts: Am I using the stamina skills wrong in Elder Scrolls Blades?

texts:
There are many times when I go to use a stamina skill (and my stamina bar is 100% full) that it just doesn't work. I'll press on the little diamond icon and nothing happens.

I've even made sure the palm of my hand isn't on the screen either. I've noticed this will prevent the skill from being used sometimes.

I've even made sure the skill "fill bar" or “timer” is all the way 100% unlike this shot below:

I know some skills are based on timing, but I've been able to use them even outside of the timing (granted they don't do anything effective).

This also happens on regular enemies, such as rats and spiders during 1 Star dungeons. So, it can’t be a max stamina thing.

So, the question is, is there a way to get your skills to work every time, or is this just a bug in the game right now?

texts: Does Yasuo wind wall block one direction or both?

texts:
Yasuo's wind wall reads "Creates a moving wall that blocks enemy projectiles."
I noticed the other day watching a game, that a Yasuo player threw up a wind wall but threw it on the wrong side of themselves (the enemy was the other direction).  They then ran to the other side of the wall, making me wonder if it blocks both ways or just one way (and they were just panic running).

It seems to be curved very slightly on the ends, but that could just be a graphics choice.

The guide video only shows Ashe shooting from a single side.

texts:
These are the newest Unique boots introduced in 3.10, Delirium League:

I'm wondering if the mod "Damage inflicts Poison while affected by Glorious Madness" will allow for the Chaos DoT that Caustic Arrow creates to also inflict poison. As far as I know, Caustic Arrow does not poison on hit, nor does its Chaos DoT innately poison on hit. According to the DoT Gamepedia page, both the modifiers of "Damage" and "Damage Over Time" will apply to Damage over Time scaling.   Now I know some modifiers have specifically designated applications, such as "Damage with Hits" and "Damage with Ailments", both of which do not refer to Caustic Arrow's caustic pools.  But the wording here specifies "Damage" specifically without any other modifier.

Can DoT inflict poison with the boots Beacon of Madness?

texts:
When running Dishonored in windowed mode it does not use the full selected resolution - e.g. when I select 1920x1200 (which is also my native resolution) the window does not span the full width of my screen. Since I usually use GameCompanion to convert full-size windows to fake fullscreen (like in WoW etc.) this is annoying as it doesn't work - most likely due to the fact that the window is too small.

So I wonder if there's a way (such as an INI tweak) to make the game window use the full resolution I selected in the options.


texts:
I'm not exactly sure how to title this question, but the situation will make sense after this explanation.

I was playing No Man's Sky yesterday, and noticed that randomly the cursor would start to move to the left. The current controller I use is not more than a few months old, so I thought maybe it was the game. I couldn't seem to accurately reproduce it either, so I kept working at it. Finally, I found a way to 100% reproduce the issue each time;

If I move the left stick directly to the right, the stick will leave a ghost input to the left. However, the catch here is, the L2 button will accelerate this issue. Holding down L2 will indeed move the cursor to the left. I tested this in Overwatch as well. As soon as I press the left stick to the right, I hold down L2, and my character moves to the left.

I've never experienced something like this. I've been very gentle with the controller, haven't dropped it or thrown it around or anything. My research on Google only found information on PS3 controllers with unrelated button issues.

TL;DR - If I press the left stick to the right, release the left stick, then press and hold L2, the controller sends a strong "move left" signal, in addition to any other function assigned to L2.

I have already ordered a new controller, but I don't think I need to scrap this one entirely. What could I do to try and salvage this controller?

Forgive me if this question has an obvious answer that I clearly am not aware of.

So I have a game and others that are from the Windows 95 era, and when I click "Install" I get this message:

  The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher. <

I have Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium. I'm well aware that the 64-bit version is apparently the way to go to play old games.

I've tried going to the Compatibility Mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2) and "Run with 256 colors" but there are too many files on the CD-ROM that I'm not sure how many could be switched compatibility, not like that would help.

I've gotten another Windows 95 game to work (although it let me install the game in the first place which was awesome) by using the d3drm.dll to fix the crashing that happened when running the game.

So my basic question is...are Windows 7 32-bit users doomed to never be able to play old games like that? I don't want to go buy Windows 64-bit or Premium...ain't nobody got time for that.

Is there any way at all to get a patch or anything that would let me play old games without getting Windows 64-bit?

Thanks

However, I'm almost done the second chapter of the game, and so far, my anti-air towers have always been 'greyed out' in the build menu.  How can I access them?


texts: How do you compare 2 players in different leagues in SC2?

texts:
Using sc2ranks.com we can see the points accumulated by each player.

Are the points of a player comparable to players in other leagues?

If not, why not and what happens to a players points upon demotion/promotion?

Is there a better way to compare players ( other than just playing each other )?


texts: Are Strongholds more common in Swamp Biomes?

texts: In my experience with generating new worlds and finding the stronghold is close, they've almost always been in a swamp biome. Is this intentional, a bug, or just a coincidence?


texts: In the Twilight Forest mod, how does one find the Hydra?

texts: I'm looking for the Hydra in the Twilight Forest mod and have failed to find it for the past several hours. Is there any strategy to finding this Hydra?


texts: Why is my input device changing rapidly?

texts: Whenever I am in the options menu trying to adjust my options (I haven't gone in-game yet), my input device changes rapidly from my keyboard/mouse to my controller and the cursor goes up/left randomly (making it hard to adjust my options). I have pulled out the battery pack on my controller, nothing changes, same goes for my wireless adapter when I unplug it. A different wireless 360 changed nothing too. Restarting also didn't do anything. The issue also happens with Mortal Kombat X,What should I do?


texts: How do I increase my village's income in Ninja Village?

texts:
This seems like a simple question, but I'm lost on how to actually significantly increase output; even as I gain more villagers I don't seem to gain much more money per month.

I've built multiple workshops and lumber/ore depots.  I've got plenty of supplies but my stores are always being sold out (even though I only have one of each).  Is there something I'm missing to from this equation?


texts: Is tile spawning under fast movement bugged?

texts:
I am aware of 2048's spawning rules:
 spawn 2 in random empty spot 90% of the time
 spawn 4 in random empty spot 10% of the time

I have noticed it's possible to avoid such a situation by pressing up and then down in quick succession causing both tiles to spawn above the rest. Is this intended behavior?

As this question is implementation specific, I'm playing this version in my computer and this version on my iPhone. This occurs in both versions.

Clarification (underscore "_" denotes an empty tile):

What I expect:

2 4 2 _
4 2 _ _
8 _ _ _
2 _ _ _

Press right (4 spawned)

_ 2 4 2
_ _ 4 2
_ _ _ 8
4 _ _ 2

Press left (2 spawned)

2 4 2 _
4 2 _ _
8 _ _ 2
4 2 _ _

What I observed if keys are pressed fast enough:

2 4 2 _
4 2 _ _
8 _ _ _
2 _ _ _

Press right (nothing spawns)

_ 2 4 2
_ _ 4 2
_ _ _ 8
_ _ _ 2

Press left fast enough (two tiles spawn)

2 4 2 _
4 2 _ _
8 _ _ 4
2 _ _ 2


texts: Is it possible to play against a friend (by random selection) in Ranked Mode?

texts:
The shortest question I ever asked:

Is it possible that a friend from my friends list is selected by random as an opponent in ranked mode? Or are friends avoided in the selection? Does it make a difference, whether the friend or me is invisible or not?


texts: What are the mechanics for bullying city states?

texts:
Two things are required to bully a city state: high military power relative to the other main civs, and nearby military power. This begs two questions:

How high do you need to be in military power? top 50 percent of civs? within 25 percent of leading civ? I assume its based on the soldiers demographic.

How close does a unit have to be in order to influence a civ toward giving tribute?
