texts: Change/Add to the list of names for crewmembers in FTL?

texts:
I've been playing FTL for a while now, and I am seeing the same names crop up again and again in my crew members. Whilst I realise they are used for recording stats, I don't really care about them, and really just want a bit more variety in the names presented to me.

Is there a way to access the list of names used by FTL and either add to it, or at the very least change them?


texts:
When some enemy is attacking alliance, they can cast on him the Doom Flame spell which reads:

  Death from above. Depending on Spell Charge 5%-20% of all stationary enemy troops in a 3x3 tile area will be killed outright. A maximum of 50000 to 200000 troops can be killed in total. Spell point: 600

It's mentioned that enemy troops (I assume that includes troops in the castle and their reinforcement) will be killed outright, however when spell is casted, there is a countdown of 2h. What does it mean? Does it mean the troops were killed instantly, or not?

If not, or only partial were killed, should Doom Flame spell be used along with the Teleport Freeze to maximalize its effect?

texts: How to fix PS3 controllers that press buttons randomly even after resetting and cleaning?

texts:
I know this is a somewhat generic question around the web, but looking from search results--my situation is unique?
I gave two of my PS3 controllers to my little sister cause she was playing tomb raider on her PC; she said the first one I gave her was buggy, and she returned the second one when her PC crashed; when I got both of my controllers back, I plugged them into my PS3: the buttons would just keep pressing themselves even after multiple resets and using the cable. The controllers worked perfectly fine before I handed them over to her; I honestly don't know how to fix it now. She was using SCP Toolkit to connect it to her PC.
My assumption is that SCP Toolkit messed up something logically. Before i gave two of my controllers to her, she complained a bit about how her controller was randomly pressing buttons--I've used and maintained the controller she has in the past: and, it always worked great. So, I do believe it's a logical issue related to SCP Toolkit.
After cleaning them, and resetting again: they still don't work. I'm out of ideas on how to solve this issue--hope the community here can help me.

(Their prices tend to turn their market box slots into a trophy case.)


texts: Is Tristana immune to crowd control whe she starts her rocket jump?

texts:
I noticed Tristana will jump regardless if you stun, snare, hook or whatever her at the moment she is about to take off. I got knocked in a wall once by Vayne's condemn but still managed to actually jump. I was briefly stunned when i landed but nowhere near the full stun duration.

This happens with other stuns as well, such as taric's dazzle. If you cast Tristana's rocket jump just before you get hit by the stun you will still jump. Unlike Caitlyn which will still shoot her net when stunned but won't actually get pushed away.

I know some ultimates like ezreal's barrage and lux' laser cannot be interrupted but Tristana's jump isn't an ultimate. And Gnars wallop cannot be interrupted either but the tooltip does actually mention this.


texts: Problems with playing Battlefield 2 where "My Documents" are not in the default location

texts:
I am having a problem with Battlefield 2 in where I receive a error popup on game start (after the intro menus):

  LOCERROR_Unable to open current
  profile.

I think this is down to the fact my documents area is stored on my home server, instead of the C:\Users\%username%\Battlefield 2 expected location. If I start the game on a local (i.e no network documents) account I can start and play the game fine, creating a local account. I can then copy the "Battlefield 2" folder created in that accounts documents and place it in My Documents which removes the error show above, but when I try to start a mulitplayer or singleplayer game the game crashes with a black screen back to the desktop.

It seems to be a fairly common problem and I have found many references in EA and other forums, although no definitive answer (and the appearance of the evil "I found what the problem was but I'm not going to post it here").

Is there a way, using symlinks or junction points in Windows 7 to get this to work? I've thought about manually creating a "My Documents" Folder on the C:\ drive but am unsure if this will work.

Game Info: Battlefield 2, Updated to 1.50. No Mods, although Sandbox had the same problem. The computer is more than capable of running the game.

I've checked the registry settings and while there is a "InstallDir" entry which points to the correct place there are no settings that detail a user profile. As an interesting note, it's possible to copy your Battlefield 2 folder to a USB/Portable Hard disk and run it from that (although it's slow to start up initially).

Using a network share or drive mappings makes no difference (eg \filesvr\tom$\My Docs or N:\My Docs). Even changing it to a different partition on the same computers disk gives grief.

There is a folder created in the Battlefield 2 root directory with the name of my file server and some profile settings created in that.

After a clean install of Windows 7 onto a spare machine over the weekend and using the excellent Everything search tool I have found that profile details have also been saved in:

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\[fileserver]\userstore$\[username]

...so I'll try poking around with these files and symlinking/robocopying them to where they should be. Hopefully the end is in sight.


texts:
TL;DR Is weapon windup "averaged", or randomized?

The answer to this question, as well as older versions of the official Stellaris wiki, and the game files, all reference a (semi-)mysterious "windup" for weapons. (Note: I will interchangably use the terms "windup" and "warmup" throughout my question.) Now explanations for how this manifests in game are simple - before firing, weapons must go through a period of warmup (where supposedly they are trained on target and prepared to fire). Practically, this is (probably) only relevant during the first volley, and afterwards it can be lumped into the weapon's cooldown period. Indeed, the modern wiki does exactly that.

However, the precise way in which warmup is handled still seems a little mysterious. In game files it is defined with two values, min_windup and max_windup. This seems to indicate that there is a "range" of values which windup might take, probably randomized in the same manner as damage. This seems intuitive enough. Trouble arises in the wiki however, as only an "averaged" warmup time is listed lumped with the game-files "cooldown" time into a single value, rather than a range of values as might be expected from a randomized windup. This is further compounded by my own anecdotal observations of all (identical) weapons in a fleet firing their first volley simultaneously. With the laser warmup time of 0.2-2.0 days, I would anticipate there to be a roughly 50% chance that any given weapon would go off one day later - which should be noticeable in early-game battles between identically-equipped corvettes.

So, my question: Is the windup time listed in game files actually used as intuitively expected, as a range of values which (in function) randomizes weapon cooldown? Or is it treated as a static "averaged" value in actual game function?

texts: Do AI empires get a "cheat" boost in a (defensive) war in the MegaCorp DLC?

texts:
Prior to the MegaCorp DLC in Stellaris, I would often declare war on an enemy AI empire and conquer systems I had laid claim to using the "Conquer" option, and I would notice the enemy's war exhaustion rising rapidly... far more rapidly than mine, as I would be occupying their systems by force, defeating their fleets and stations. I did this countless times in dozens of games all with more or less the same experience.

Fast forward to the MegaCorp DLC, and the exact opposite is happening: this empire, whose economy was 'Equivalent' and fleet power 'Inferior', somehow managed to not only constantly out-produce me militarily, but also enjoy a near 100% warp-out rate during every battle, even when the dialogue window during combat would show me destroying ships. These battles I won were also giving me about twice as much war exhaustion than the enemy AI received... which seems completely broken; before MegaCorp, I would receive almost no war exhaustion for battles I won or systems I claimed without losing any of my ships.

Is this some new Starcraft II-esque defensive cheat mechanism that was added to the game to make it more challenging, or a glitch, or what? This is a remarkably different experience from the dozens of other games I've played where I've gone to war. I can appreciate a tweaked AI for a more challenging and engaging experience, but this was... not that.

This opponent civ was a Constitutional Dictatorship & Harmonious Collective, with Fanatic Authoritarian and Xenophile traits, and I was playing on the difficulty above Ensign (what should not be that challenging of a difficulty), for what it's worth.

texts: How can I practice my marksmanship for multiplayer?

texts:
I have a lot of trouble hitting things in Battlefront.

I think this is mostly due to how much time I've spent playing Call of Duty, which using line trace mechanics to determine whether you've hit something. In other words, there's no bullet drop and you don't have to lead targets.

It's also impacted by how much more accurate hip-fire seems to be than aimed fire at anything other than extreme distances, and my instinct to look down the sight whenever I'm shooting.

Additionally, the hip-fire reticles vary per gun, and none of them are crosshairs.

I'd like to practice shooting in a singleplayer mode where the enemies have the same health as they do in multiplayer. Is this possible? I tried playing a battle, but everything was going down in one or two hits.

texts: How can I determine the center of a village?

texts:
Since an Iron Golem’s spawning zone is a 16×16×6 area at the center point of a village, I want to build a structure around this area. Sometimes I want to build a grinder there, other times I want to build something that looks like a  golem forge to make it look realistic instead of them just randomly appearing out of thin air. To do this, I need to determine the center of the village.

How can I determine the center of a village regardless of whether it is one built from scratch or a generated one that is naturally spawned? Also, for generated villages, is the center determined before or after the village is built? That is, is the center point chosen then structures built around it, or are the structures generated first then the center calculated from them afterwards?

(I don’t think it matters, but I’m using version 1.7.2.)


texts: Can I kidnap Lenny while dressed as a Hitman WITHOUT starting an orgy of violence?

texts:
I've arrived in Hope, South Dakota, and murdered the first three Cougars.  Afterward, while I was exploring the garage to see if there was anything interesting or useful, I accidentally opened the door to the next part of the game.

So, as a great man once said, now I'm in a completely different place, and I'm surrounded on all sides by angry men with guns who want me dead.  So far I haven't been able to subdue anyone and take their clothes as a disguise, because there are no lone wanderers at the beginning of the level - apparently everyone listened to the lectures about the Buddy System.

Up until now I've avoided killing anyone but my targets, but it seems I've painted myself into a corner with this one.  Is there a way to complete the 'Kidnap Lenny' level without non-target casualties if I entered the level wearing my Hitman suit?

texts: How to convert Bedrock texture pack to Java Edition Minecraft

texts:
I'm trying to use a texture pack designed for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, on Java Edition. I looked at the texture names for a Java Edition texture pack and compared those to the names of the Bedrock Edition texture names, and they aren't the same. A lot of the texture names are flipped, such as:

Jungle Log (Java = jungle_log.png) (Bedrock = log_jungle.png)

Most of the texture names are flipped, like the Jungle Log (and all of the other log types) and there are some .json files that are different and/or not there.

Trying to open the Bedrock texture pack would result in some animated blocks not being animated, other blocks play the wrong sound (or no sound) when broken, if OptiFine is in the mix, the skybox could be missing, which I am pretty sure would result in an always black sky, along with no sun and moon textures.

Any help in finding a program or site that can do this would be helpful, because I tried doing it manually, but almost every texture is different.

Any help is appreciated!

texts:
(on iPhone 4, iOS4)

Cut the rope is really a great game. I installed both the full version and the Xmas version.

However there are two things pretty annoying

Opening the levels page shows first a cutter animation taking 3~5 seconds. It really seems to be on purpose (not an animation during a load operation from another thread for instance). I know there is nothing we can do about it... just in case the game writers read these forums :-)
Beating the previous score of a given level shows an improved image. And one may know, this way, that the score was beaten. However there doesn't seem to be any way to see the current score / time for a given level. Any suggestion?

(My question is 2. Thanks)

texts: Is it possible to remove animals from a Minecraft map?

texts:
I recently opened a map which I thought was broken, because I could not load it anymore. I increased the memory for the Java VM to 8GB and now I can open it but it is impossible to play on this map, because there are thousands of cows! I think this is why the map could not be opened with 768 MB of memory for Java.

So my question is, if there is any tool with which I can remove those cows. I've heard of several tools to manipulate the landscape, your spawn point, etc. But I don't know if there are tools that let you remove and place animals without having the map opened. When I open the world I have like one frame every 5 seconds...

Can you recommend a tool with which I can remove animals or other entities from a Minecraft world?

texts: How can I achieve 3 biohazards with the 'Black Death' scenario in Plague Inc

texts:
I've had a reasonable amount of success with Plague Inc, and can reliably beat the 'normal' diseases on mega-brutal.

However I remain flummoxed by the Black Death scenario. I've tried several times now, and still haven't managed to get that magic triple-biohazard victory. Even with wiping out the population of the planet in under a year, I still find I don't quite manage it.

Can anyone suggest a modestly reliable strategy for doing this? (A degree of luck required is fine, I've already tried about 50 times).


texts: Is there a workaround for LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 freezing during year 6 on the Wii?

texts:

texts: How can I assign the Fn key as a keybind for Valve games?

texts:
I recently have been stuck with having to play Steam games on my Mac, and while I have not minded different keys being where I'm used to them on Windows, the real problem I have is that I can't assign 'DUCK' (in Valve games) to Fn, and on my Windows computer that's where Control was.

For other games that I used to use Control for stuff (like LoL) it was very easy to change the keybinding but for Valve games it seems I can't so easily. Any solutions?


texts: How to make the most of having an Abathur on your team?

texts:
There is a question on how to play Abathur correctly, which is surely warranted given his unique mechanics. However, my question is more about how to be a good team mate for an Abathur player.

In this recent Heroes of the Dorm match the casters allude frequently to the fact that the other four players on an Abathur team should change their play style, but I'm unsure how I should be doing that, not in the least because low rank pubs are different from more professional matches.

Specifically, I'm wondering:

Should Abathur typically be left ot solo a lane, or does he require some kind of support?
What are the things to watch for on your own character given that Abathur can use abilities to enhance others?
How do you need to compensate / account for an Abathur on your team for map objectives such as treasure chests and skulls?
Is it necessary to check on Abathur's build and adjust your play style accordingly?

But, in short: how can you be a good team mate for Abathur in public matches?


texts:
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf's Dream Suite, Luna keeps telling me that I can't dream because of an unstable internet connection. I am connected to the Internet on my 3DSXL and can use other networked games and apps just fine. I can download items from the post office just fine as well. I don't have anyone on my friend list whom I can pay a visit to over the internet, so I can't test that. My network data is also up to date as well.

texts: Is there any way to get credits outside of stash boxes?

texts:
Opening stash boxes randomly generates four items in the form of various cosmetic icons and skins for characters and weapons (and even the bottoms of their footwear). Sometimes, you can also receive some credits instead of a skin. You also receive credits if you open a box and get a duplicate of something you already have. Collecting enough of these credits allows you to simply purchase the skin you want rather than waiting to receive it from a loot box by chance.

So far, I've only received credits from receiving duplicate skins or just getting credits from a stash box, but are there any other ways to get credits outside of these two ways?

texts: How do I solve Chapter 3 Level 13 in See No Evil?

texts:
I am trying to solve Level 13 from Chapter 3 in See No Evil, but I seem to be unable to solve it. The goal of the level seems to be to open the gates to the right (a laughing block + a screaming block).

This is what I know how to accomplish:

  By pushing the block to 6, then activating the switch south of 3 I have enough time to block the soundwave from the enemy above, then push the block over the "laughing blocks" at 7.
I can lure the enemy at 1 to 2 by opening the "screaming blocks" and shouting upward from 3.
I can shout towards 5 by standing on top of the grey blocks and shouting right.

I seem however not able to trigger the enemy west of 4 without triggering the enemy at 5 afterwards. Since I am not able to keep the "shouting stones" open for more than a few seconds, and am not able to find a pattern to repeatedly open them, I can't seem to finish this level.

An answer outlining a mechanic I am missing is preferred over an answer outlining all steps I need to take.

texts: What does "Gem Powered" mean for powerups? And how do they carry over?

texts:
When selecting a powerup (not ability) in Temple Run 2 you have the option of making it "Gem powered". For example, here is the Coin Bonus one:

It's easy enough to infer that this gives you 50 gems normally, and 100 when you spend a gem on it.

However, what happens when you add one, two, three, or more gems?

Here's what I tried. This is what the screen looks like when you add one gem and this is what happens when you add two. Adding more simply fills the bar without text changes. After powering with two gems, here is what happens before and after using the powerup in-game: even if I spent two gems, I only got 100 coins. This spent both gems.

What is the point, if any, of upgrading past one gem? Is this specific to the Coin Bonus powerup? Or is this just a glitch and it should be adding 50/100 coins per gem?

texts: Does chances of specific training scale the same way that food does?

texts:
I noticed that the food that occurs most frequently is the food that gives the lowest JP, regardless of where the food is located on the list. I know this to be true because I leveled up my Oran Berry to have more JP than my Sitrus Berry and then suddenly the Sitrus Berries occurred more frequently than the Oran Berries.

My question is: does training do the same thing?

By the time I realized this about the food I had been focusing on leveling the training session that was the farthest down on the list (like Pokeball Smash). I know that a training session like Pokeball Smash already felt rare to me, but would I be harming myself in leveling just one training session? Would that training session scale so that every other session is more frequent? Would I be better off leveling training evenly?

texts: In M.U.G.E.N, how do I resize the background in the select screen page?

texts:
Hopefully you guys know what M.U.G.E.N is, but I'm going to explain to the people that don't. It's basically a two-dimensional fighting game where you put your own fighters, stages, music, backgrounds and so on.

Anyway, recently I got the Black Rock Shooter Screenpack. Everything was fine, but the Selection menu had the background too zoomed in. This caused the picture in the background to appear bigger, and also causing the characters to not appear.

Here is shows how the screenpack is supposed to look like.

I used my older winmugen to add the missing stuff to the screenpack, like chars., stages, the application itself, etc..

I have been told that I needed to resize everything, but what do I really resize? I know about the select and system file in the data folder, but I don't know what to really look for.

I'd appreciate any help.

Question is — if I drop a sword, or painting, or egg, or something else valuable somewhere in the maze, could Thief steal it while I'm not in that room? In other words, does Thief move on it's own, or it does not exist unless stars align?

texts: Stop Wolves From Becoming Angry Through Walls

texts:
In a custom Minecraft map I'm making, I have a pet shop where you can spend points you've earned on the main map levels to "adopt" pets. This includes horses, cats, and dogs. That's all fine. However, in another room nearby, but not adjacent to, the pet shop, I have a NoAI skeleton as decoration/signage for a minigame involving skeletons. Annoyingly, the untamed wolf in the pet shop (the one that you will tame when you adopt it) is becoming aggressive towards this NoAI skeleton, even through several walls and over 25 blocks away. I tried setting its Angry tag to 0b every tick, but that just makes him flash between hostile and passive on and off each tick.

How can I stop him from noticing the skeleton if he can see through walls? Or at least, can I stop him from becoming angry at this particular skeleton?

Nvidia RTX2070 GPU
Windows 10 Pro 1803
HTC Vive

Things I've tried:

Remove all mods
Complete uninstall/reinstall

Get new GPU (upgraded from old 1070)
Uninstall and reinstall all new drivers for Intel and Nvidia graphics
Totally nerf all graphics settings
Optimizer mods, reduced clutter mods, etc.
Disable godrays entirely as per this similar issue

Nothing has made this better at all. No improvement whatsoever.

texts: How to "cheat" at stealing in Final Fantasy IX?

texts:
I'm in CD2, fighting Tantarian. My characters are fairly high leveled for the place and can withstand the boss reasonably well, so survival tips are not needed. But stealing the Demon's Mail is difficult, of course (it's one of the 3 Really Really Difficult steals in the game). I'm using ePSXe emulator instead of playing on a console, so save states are available. Nonetheless, I've spent several hours already without luck.

I've scoured teh interwebs and the only strategy I found is to attempt stealing at different points in game-time, since it appears that the random number generator that determines the steal's success is based on game time and people suggest that it changes once per second. It also seems that the success/fail is determined at the moment Zidane executes the action. Finally, I know with certainty that the chance to get the item is 1/256.

However I've just tried stealing at 256 consecutive seconds in game-time, and still no luck.

The way did it was to select "Steal" on Zidane and then select Tantarian (which freezes everyone's ATB), but then wait until a specific second rolls around using the countdown timer present at that point in game.

Is there anything I've missed? Are there other options?


texts: How can I stop forgetting spells in ADOM?

texts:
I am playing a gnomish Elementalist, currently at level 19. I have managed to reach quite nice levels on some of my offensive spells (most notably, Burning Hands is P:+24, E:15d3+43), but I keep forgetting them all the time. The first number, the one the help says reflects "how well you memorized that spell" is quite low for most of them and they keep disappearing. They come back after I level up and select a Literacy increase, but the number remains low, they are quickly lost again and I'm almost maxed out on Literacy anyway (97 now).

Are there any other attributes I should increase? My Learning is currently at 15, but I'm not sure if it influences this issue.

Please help, this is incredibly frustrating for a spellcaster.


texts:
Related: What's the health formula in Fallout 4?

A friend asked me if there were any relatively easy ways to permanently boost your SPECIAL stats or other character attributes. I replied that there are some things like bobble-heads and magazines, but those are relatively rare. So, the most reliable source of permanent stat boosts is by choosing a SPECIAL stat or perk on level-up.

However, answers to the related question linked above seem to indicate that there is some passive effect on stats based on your level alone. This still means most of your stat boosts are going to be XP-based, but it also means that the stats aren't only tied to player choice or skill points.

So, I'm looking for more specifics here. How does each character level affect your character's attributes? The most obvious stats, which I'd like to see answered for as a minimum, are listed below. If there's others known to be affected, please do include them.

SPECIAL Stats

Strength
Perception
Endurance
Charisma
Intelligence
Agility
Luck

Derived Stats

Action Points
Carry Weight
Damage Resistance
Energy Resistance
Radiation Resistance
Maximum Hit Points
Melee Damage
XP Modifier

Are there any of these (or any others I haven't thought of) that get a boost just by gaining a character level, even if a skill point isn't spent on a related SPECIAL stat or Perk? If so, how much per level?

texts: Should I need to play Pokemon SuMo before Pokemon Ultra SuMo?

texts:
I was speaking to a friend who recommended I do so. But I was looking for some extra opinions.

My experiences with the 1st 3 generations of pokemon gave me the opinion that pokemon wasn't really a plot heavy game (though lore/trivia can be surprisingly deep). The games are generally formulaic (gotta catch 'em all, 8 badges, a rival who usually takes a starter super effective against yours, a criminal organisation to wreck, an elite 4 and a champion to beat) Only big surprise I can recall with nostalgia googles in full effect is gen 2's double region. From what I vaguely recall reading SuMo was surprisingly plot heavy apparently.

My original plan was to just play Ultra SuMo as a remaster. Some of what I've read said I won't lose out on much by just playing Ultra, besides neatly seeing subversions of what happens in SuMo/the rest of the series? (One that I'm not sure might have been is rival picking a starter weak to mine).

texts:
When I want to invite my friends over the internet into my LAN world in Minecraft, I need to set my router to forward the port specified by Minecraft. As Mincraft picks a different port each time I open my world over LAN, I have to edit my router settings every time I want to start a multiplayer LAN session over the internet. Instead, I would like to set the router to the range of port numbers that Minecraft picks from.

What is the range of ports that Minecraft uses for LAN worlds?

So far, after four sessions, I have had ports between 49525 and 50852. I play the Java edition, if that makes any difference.

Alternatively:

The port range must be coded into the Minecraft code. What file(s) would I look at to find it?

texts: Is there a way to specify the amount of an item I want to sell without having to hold the mouse button down?

texts:
When I have a lot of plutonium, I like to sell my excess.  I typically like to keep about 1,000 on hand, and sell the rest.  However, its annoying to have to wait while I hold the mouse button down so that I can sell the proper amount.

For example, if I have 4,000 plutonium, I would sell 3,000 of it.  I have to hold the mouse button down until the amount I hit is 3,000.  I would like to instead just type in 3,000 and sell it, but I haven't noticed a way to do this.  Is this functionality in the game and if it is, how do I do it?


texts: What is the full list of "usable" Minecraft items capable of right-click detection using Brigadier?

texts:
Before Brigadier (the command system that 1.13+ uses) was introduced, you could detect a right-click with anything that had the stat.useItem criteria. However, since scoreboard criteria (among many other things) were changed with the 1.13 update, stat.useItem was changed to minecraft.used, and gives the entire item selection rather than just a few.
The Wiki section on scoreboard criteria doesn't list criteria types with minecraft as the start of their IDs at all, which means the following criteria are all left out: minecraft.broken, minecraft.crafted, minecraft.custom, minecraft.dropped, minecraft.killed, minecraft.killed_by, minecraft.mined, minecraft.picked_up, and last but not least minecraft.used.
Due to all of these being left out, there's no publicly available list of all the possible "usable" items to allow for simple right-click detection (think the usability of the original right-click detection, the Carrot on a Stick).
What's the full list of actual "usable" items and/or tools that is trackable via the minecraft.used criteria?


texts:
I've reported this as a bug already, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips.

I use a Sigil of Luck when trying to farm around.  When the going gets tough, I'd like to switch to a Sigil of Corruption.  Unfortunately, it seems like once I already have a counter for Luck and switch weapons to the Sigil of Corruption..... I continue to gain Luck counters.  If I main-hand the Sigil of Luck weapon and off-hand the Corruption weapon - I gain only corruption counters.

The only way I know to fix this is to get knocked down or to fast travel - neither one is ideal.

Also, if any engineers are reading this, be aware that Kit/Turrent/Golem kills do not count toward sigils unless you get the last hit with the sigil weapon. :\

Is there is limit to the firing rate or the firepower of a portal, or will it always ZAP you for any attack/hack?

I'm looking for a strong gavel to play the HotA build with my season barb but I'm only finding mediocre ones. If I wanted to dedicate time specifically towards creating/finding a strong gavel, what would be the most efficient route?

Simply rifting and waiting for one to drop seems inefficient. What about cube-rerolling an existing gavel vs. upgrading 2h mighty weapons, how do they compare? Could someone create a numerical breakdown of the possible options?

This question could use a "Theorycrafting" tag, but I couldn't create it.

TL;DR: Looking for the most cost and time efficient way to roll loads of gavels in a manageable timeframe, would like numerical breakdown of options.

texts:
I've just maxed the Refire and Deploy skills of the Soldier / Roland to maximize the reduction of the cooldown of the Scorpio Turret skill. I am now thinking of increasing the damage of the Scorpio Turret.

It seems that I have three skills (from the Infantry and Support skill trees) to choose from if I want to increase the damage of the Scorpio Turret: Sentry (increases Scorpio Turret damage), Guided Missile (Scorpio Turret launches guided missiles in addition to using its regular gun) and Barrage (increases the number of shots the Scorpio Turret fires in each burst).

In what order should I put the next skill points that I get to maximize the damage that the Scorpio Turret inflicts?

Also, what if I have an Artifact that adds elemental damage to the Scorpio Turret? I currently have an Explosive-bolt Artifact equipped.

texts: What does the player role 'Captain' in FIFA 14 do?

texts:
When you go into team management, you can select player roles. Most of them make sense, like who is taking the corners, free kicks and penalties. But what exactly does the captain do in FIFA 14? Does the selection of captain influence the gameplay, or is this just who is going to wear the armband and get mentioned by the commentators when scoring a goal?

According to Wikipedia, the captains only two responsibilities that I believe could be in the game are just graphical things: to hoist up cup if you win a tournament and to participate in the coin toss at the beginning of the match. Both do not hold any significance for gameplay of course.

In what locations is the use of a pharros stone tied to a welcome result?
Getting to know the game, I don't assume to be able to use all slots in one playthrough...

By "welcome result" I aim for results like exposing items, leading to hidden paths or decreasing the difficulty of the game (like in the Wharf).

texts: I'm a liege without an heir. My wife is barren. What do I do?

texts:
I'm a 28yo king of Eire with an old wife who can no longer bear children. (Don't ask me how I got here, things happen in Crusader Kings 2.)

I've tried to get rid of my wife, but the Pope won't give me a divorce. Neither can I find backers to kill her (I suppose the fact that she is a duchess somewhere in central France adds to that).

One option is just to let her die of natural causes (she's 20 years older than me), since I could remarry after and have a new young wife bear children. This will likely incur some period of regency, but oh well.

The other one is to get some lovers, sire bastard sons, and legitimize them. Worse than natural heirs, but not a game over. In this case, how do I increase likelihood of getting lovers?

When I die, the game is over and I don't want that to happen. Hence, my question is, how do I get an heir from here? Which of above options should I follow and is there a better way?

texts: Artifact weapons in Legion, how important is the initial choice?

texts:
I apologize because this question is based on a quote that I read somewhere which I am now unable to find.

The quote basically said something along the lines of "you cannot expect your offspec artifact weapon(s) to be as good as your mainspec artifact weapon".

Now, there's several ways I can see this be true so let me first state my question and then pose several possible ways this can be answered.

The question is this: Is this depending on the initial choice of weapon, when you first get to choose on level 100, or not?

Note: I know I will get all the weapons through quests that unlock on level 102. This is not a question of whether I will only have one weapon.

The way I see it, there could be several ways this quote is true:

Your initial choice means you have now chosen your mainspec weapon. There's some kind of limit in effect on what the offspec weapons can become in terms of power.
Your initial choice means nothing other than which weapon you will have available for level 100-102 until you complete the quests on 102.

Instead your choice of weapon to put artifact weapon into will be the
one determining which weapon is the most powerful at that time.
Over time all your artifact weapons can become the maximum they can
be.

I think this is the right answer but I want to know for sure.
Putting artifact power into one weapon will make it more costly for all the weapons, meaning that the weapons you didn't put power into are now more expensive to "level up", meaning again that this is implied by your choice of which weapon to put artifact power into more than the initial choice.

The reason I ask is that since I read the above mentioned quote, I took no chances and picked Holy as the weapon when I was given the choice since my mainspec will be healing. This means that for level 100-102 I can either quest as holy, with the weapon, or as shadow/discipline, with my Draenor crafted staff.

However, if it is more a "over time" thing then if I for instance keep questing and leveling as Shadow, and put artifact power into the Shadow weapon, then I can later on start working on the holy weapon.

Basically my question is: Did the initial choice lock anything in stone?

texts: Does the soothe bell really work when raising happiness?

texts:
I hatched a Riolu in Heart Gold and then traded to Platinum. Gave Riolu my soothe bell and started biking up and down until I hit 40,000 steps. It is my understanding that every 256 steps raises the pokemon happiness 1 level. In my example, 40,000 steps would actually be 156.25 points of happiness. With the soothe bell doing 2x the amount, that would be 312.50 points of happiness. Am I correct in the statement of the soothe bell doing 2x the amount? If so, how come my Riolu still does not have the maximum amount of happiness to evolve?

EDIT: Now over 45,000 steps and still not enough.

texts:
I have set up a player owned structure with a pair of advanced mobile laboratories, these mobile laboratories are currently performing material efficiency research on some reasonably expensive blueprints for battleships so that I can later start producing these ships with the intention of selling them.

Currently the research process has more time remaining than the expected time remaining for the fuel left in the control tower. Obviously I'm about to put more fuel in, but I was wondering - what happens to any in-progress processes, be that researching or refining or construction or whatever - when the control tower for a player owned structure runs out of power and goes offline?

Do the processes fail? Are the materials lost? Or are the current in-progress processes preserved at their current state, waiting for the control tower to come back online?


texts: If I encounter a travelling pokémon, is it gone forever?

However, that is a very lengthy process, ad I need this command to run faster.

For example, I know that Mean Look prevents Teleport, but it doesn't stop the switching moves or Roar.

So, does anyone know what will and wont work against Fairy Lock?


texts: What is this "magic circle" in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow?

texts:
While I was farming for Alamaric Sniper and Ghost Dancer souls, I had something happen where it looked like a Sniper was going to give me a soul, but I didn't actually get one. Instead, this red magic circle-looking thing was left behind in the air for a few seconds, along with a pair of wings. Eventually, the wings disappeared, and the circle expanded and faded away.

I only had 7 Sniper souls at the time, so it wasn't that I was maxed out. I've tried researching it myself, but searches about "magic circle" tend to lead to Magic Seals, and searches about souls not dropping tend to lead to complaints about drop rates, so I haven't had any luck. If it matters, I'm playing on DeSmuME 0.9.7.

Is this an actual part of the game, or just a glitch of some sort?

In response to the Arc Demon suggestion: I've found a Dawn of Sorrow Arc Demon sprite sheet on this site. While they also use red magic circles, the designs aren't very similar, so I'm afraid that can't be it. Among other things, this circle has a star in the center, while the Arc Demon one does not.

So I tried each one, but the water world excited me very much. So, I got an idea to play it on a server in survival mode.

But I noticed that here are no trees. Survival mode without trees ? Nope.

I tried to make the map height limit bigger (no idea how), to make the sea level lowest (but the big towers remains at y = 256) and few more changes. Second one spawned very few trees, but how I said, big towers remains at y = 256 :( .

Is there any way to make height cap bigger ? Or to make smaller both sea level and the towers ?

Is it anything else should I worry about playing this type of world in survival mode (eg animal spawning, strongholds, dungeons, etc.) ?

I noticed that End and Nether are normal.

Thank you very much.


texts: Why is Steam connecting to a network when it shouldn't to?

texts:
Earlier today I was trying to reboot my computer to make sure I wouldn't receive some malware from the internet, and during reboot I made sure that my computer was not connected to the internet to be really safe. After dealing with this potential threat, while my computer wasn't connected to the internet there was a pop-up message from my (Win8) taskbar saying that Steam was trying and  failing to connect to a network.

Steam was not actively running. The app wasn't open.
I don't like the fact that Steam was trying to connect to a network without my permission.

I very much don't like Steam connecting to something for an unknown reason. This could potentially be a large security breach. The only game I have on Steam is Terraria.
Knowing this could be a big security problem, I uninstalled Steam to avoid trouble until I could find a solution to this problem.

Does anybody have any idea why Steam needs to connect to the internet and do background tasks while it isn't supposed to run; and does anyone know how to make sure it never runs unless I manually launch the system?
I really need an answer soon because I would like to play Terraria, but I don't dare use Steam until I can make sure it isn't doing these strange and potentially dangerous tasks.
