I have trouble finding a great squad composition.

Shotguns are great for reaction shots early game. Heavy weapons are able to take out or suppress almost anything, assuming they can shoot at all. Snipers are also awesome when they level up. Riflemen are good all around. Shields seem to be decent for scouting and stunning.

I'm also unsure on whether to send out two squads or one big squad. A big squad greatly lowers the risk, but small ones allow sweeping the area faster.

Background

I like to restart a lot when I play minecraft; and I rarely play online. I am the kind of player who will start a game, get established, explore, and then get bored and start again. However, I like the idea of starting all my new games in the same world.

I found that if I replace the 'region' folder in one save folder with a symbolic link (or a 'shortcut' in windows) to the region folder of another save, then they both save to the same location, and changes in one game are reflected in the other; but world generation anomalies tend to occur, due to multiple different seeds being used depending on which game is used.

Further, I found that if I linked two games with the same seed (e.g. one that was re-created from the other), then each would act like its own game, as above, but without the problem of world generation bugs. The only downsides seem to be that I have to start and respawn in the same location each time (the global spawn for that seed), and that it is tedious to set up each time I restart.

Additional notes: the 'linked' games allow for individual games to occur as if they are different users on the same server; they have different coordinates, inventories, and ender chest contents, but the world is the same.

To the Question

I would like to be able to start new games in (ideally a new location in) a  pre-existing world, while having the old game still usable. If there is some kind of mod or third-party package which I can install to automate this for me, that would be really cool. If not, if anyone else has tried and succeeded at this, I'd like to hear your solutions.

I want to make it so you place a dispenser at the nearest player's location (if the nearest player is not available, than I could just use me).

texts: Starcraft II Patches not Downloading Correctly

texts:
Ever since I first installed the Free Version(Then later on upgraded to full version) the patches always stopped installing at random percentages and it will stay there. The way I fixed it and finally downloaded it was to continuously opening and closing it quite literally 100+ times. Every time it would download a little further and then stop. It did this again whenever any patches are out and need to updated before I can play.

Is there a solution on this? There are tons of articles on the internet about this but none give a solution that works!


texts: How do I raise the Terran reputation after the main plot?

A similar question was asked about how to minimize the damage before starting the main plot line quests, but the answers aren't detailed on how to mend a negative reputation with the Terran factions.

After finishing the main plot (& HQ plot) my Terran rep was -3 (Insurgent & Known AGI Sympathiser). Reading some forums I found out Segaris is a good place to farm by killing invading Xenon. However, it's been several hours and there ware 0 invasions of Xenon in that sector. I even tried annoying them in the hopes of Xenon following me (from the adjacent sector to Segaris), leading fighters (and a capital Xenon K) around the gate trying to make them accidentally jump through and more waiting, all to no avail.

texts: How do I practice Pyro rocket reflect with non-standard rocket launchers?

texts: There are training maps out there that can be used to practice rocket reflect timing.  However, training maps spawn soldier bots using the default loadout.  The standard rocket launcher is probably the easiest to reflect, but I almost never deflect the Direct Hit and Liberty Launcher successfully because I am not used to the timing and have no way to practice except when I run across soldiers using them in a public server.  Is there any way to practice single-player against those weapons with bots?


texts:
While watching videos regarding the uses of overloading I have heard mentions of 'Nanite Repair Paste', which according to the market is this stuff;

  A thick, heavy liquid, typically stored in tanks or container systems intended for liquids. It is composed of billions of nanites that can be programmed to repair damaged ship modules on the fly. The paste is simply applied to the damaged area, and the nanites meld into an exact copy of the damaged area, thus effecting repairs upon the module. This is a one-time process, as the nanites use themselves up along with the trace elements mixed into their carrier fluid.

My question is, how do I use this stuff to repair damage to my systems? Are there any skills that I need to train to allow me to use it and/or to improve its effectiveness?


texts: "Offline, segment required", where do I get those segments?

texts:
I haven't played Warframe for a long time. Lots of changes have been made as expected in the user interface.

Now I am in my own ship (Liset) with many components/options disabled (I can access to my Arsenal after playing one game, but for example I still can't access my mods section). They all say "offline segment required" or something similar.

The game doesn't show me any kind of quest or guidance to find all the segments for my ship, yet the Warframe wikia says:

  The Mods segment located to the starboard side of the ship by the lower deck allows a player to see any mods they have collected. They can also sell, transmute, and fuse mods in this segment. Activating the Mods segment also unlocks the ability to upgrade and customize a player's Warframe and weapons' mod loadout on the Arsenal segment. The Mods segment can be picked up by rescuing Darvo on Mariana, Earth.

But the sector of the planet doesn't pop-up as a rescue mission: it's a sabotage mission. I've played it and everything but nothing changed. What should I do?

texts: Corruption Versus Crimson - Hardmode question

texts:
I have been playing this game for awhile now. I have done worlds with Corruption, and worlds with Crimson. I understand the differences between the shadow orbs and crimson hearts. I have destroyed Crimson hearts in one world, fought the associated boss..and then farmed him.

Now, I am ready to enter hard mode. After doing some research I find out that Corruption and Crimson cannot exist in the same world. WIth that being said, you are required to destroy "The Eater of Worlds" in order to enter hard mode, and he only spawns via Corruption shadow orbs.

Since I am stuck in a world with only Crimson, I can destroy crimson hearts all day, but not shadow orbs.

Does this mean that I am never able to turn this world into hardmode? Are worlds only able to be turned into Hardmode when they have Corruption and Shadow orbs?

Thanks!

texts: How to stop a double Arbiter/Forge rush 3v3

texts:
I have been playing halo wars since the game came out(forever ago). Only recently, the last few months, has this strategy emerged. Me and my friends have lost around 50 games to this rush. We have found no way to stop it when the rush is preformed perfectly. When the rush is preformed perfectly it looks something like this:

Both Arbiters make their Temples first, after it is complete they lock their base
Both Arbiters start making Suicide Grunts immediately after Temple finishes
Arbiters make their way to the enemy base
By the time the Arbiters arrive they have around 4 suicide grunts each, which is enough to kill the base with extras left over
They blow up the first base and move on to the next
(see below) They regroup and attack the second base, followed soon after by the third base.

(6) if the person who got attacked first has turret(s) up, they can usually weaken or kill a couple of grunts before they hit the base, requiring more grunts to hit the base before it gets blown up. This usually causes the Arbiters to destroy the base and then retreat. By  this time they have eliminated one of your teammates. By the time you and your teammate get back up and running, you are being overrun by the enemies tanks.

Things we have tried to stop/prevent the rush:

Build warthogs to try to ram and kill the grunts before they hit the base - fails every time because the Arbiter kills the warthogs instantly with the Rage ability.
Run over to the Arbiter's base before they let the grunts out and wait. Once the base opens Mac Blast the grunts(kills them instantly). - this fails because now the other Arbiter has a full army of grunts and blows up your base. Your teammates don't have enough time to get you another one and by the time your teammates recover, you are yet again overrun by tanks.
Rush the Forge player with full out Warthogs and Hunters - this fails because the 2 Arbiters have enough time to individually blow up all your bases while you are trying to fight forge, if the Arbiters fail destroying your bases and you defeat Forge, you win but his is extremely rare.
D-Bomb both of the Arbiter's pads when they show up at your base - this fails because the Arbiters retreat and just wait for the D-Bomb to go away which is super frustrating.

We thing we have come up with to win every time is to make it a Mirror Match (both sides have the exact same characters). To us this really isn't in the sport of the game, why play halo wars if your going to play boring rush games every time? Here is how we usually setup the teams:

---------------------
Covenant - Prophet(2)
UNSC - Cutter(1)
UNSC - Anders(3)
---------------------
Covenant - Chieftain(1)
UNSC - Forge(2)
UNSC - Anders(3)
---------------------
Covenant - Chieftain(3)
Covenant - Prophet(2)
UNSC - Cutter(1)
---------------------

The numbers are the order of our skills (1 is the best). We usually have the best player play as Cutter because he is essential in stopping a rush (a well placed Mac ruins an Arbiter's day).

Does anyone know of a counter-rush for this? Which characters do you need to be? Does it work on all of the 3v3 maps? All relevant answers are appreciated. Thanks for reading!

The only crops that you can grow outside of the greenhouse in winter are winter forage items (as far as I know). Specifically, if you combine the following winter forage items:

Crocus
Crystal Fruit
Snow Yam
Winter Root

You get seeds that you can plant in winter to grow these.

Do you still need to water these seeds for them to grow in winter? Seems kind of silly that you would have to, since the water would just freeze into ice during the winter, but oh well.

Running around the edges of the map trying to find some piece of wall to hit to trigger it

I am at a point in the game where I want to construct a moonbase to begin harvesting unobtanium. However, I need 40k oil, where my max is only 20k right now. For other resources the max is increased by warehouses, harbors (and tradeships) and barns. For oil, it seems like Oil Wells are the only way to increase the oil cap. It feels unnatural, because I have more then enough oil to keep my magneto's and calciners running.

Is it true that the only way increase the oil cap is by building more oil wells, and will there be later (in-game later, not begin developed) another way the cap, for example by a workshop upgrade?

texts: What is the best way to get each type of probe?

texts:
So I know there are 7 types of probes: Mining, Research, Battle, Storage, Booster, Duplicator.

What I've found so far is that Mining probes are best gotten from quests (primarily, these seem to be my rewards) and salavging Mech field items, and that you can unlock Battle probes by doing a quest at or around chapter 9 completion (via a sidequest in the hangar). Occasionally I'll also get a Research probe from salavging Mech field items as well.

I've seen that people suggest doing quests to get probes, however every time I check the quest board I don't think I've ever seen a probe as a reward. Kirsty and story quests are the only reliable source of probes that I've found so far, but by and large those appear to be Mining probes.

Is there a "best" way to get each type of probe, and if so, what is it?


texts: How to make Minecraft send LAN advertise packets over Ethernet?

texts:
I have two computers, both of them have Minecraft on them.
Both computers are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, with 192.168.0.* IPs which deliver communications over the airwaves.
Both computers are on a different floor from the router, but in physical proximity to each other. There are over twelve devices on this wireless network, and the router is not especially powerful; additionally, the computers' Wi-Fi adapters are reasonably dated.
So, I have connected the computers together via Ethernet and APIA, giving both computers 169.254.*.* IPs which deliver communications over the Ethernet cable.
However, when a server is opened to LAN and does its broadcasting, it is broadcasting the 192.168.0.* address, rather than the 169.254.*.* one. Thus when the menu item is clicked, the connection is done over the (comparatively) slow, unstable wireless link rather than the reliable, low-latency Ethernet link.
So, my question is this:
How can I make Minecraft broadcast the LAN server advertise packets over APIPA Ethernet in addition to (or even instead of) DHCP Wi-Fi?
I can manually look up and type in the Ethernet link-local IP and Minecraft's port, (this works,) but the port has to be changed every time Minecraft is restarted, and the IP has to be changed every time the computer is restarted: making this an unfeasible long-term solution (I'm trying to set it up for small children to use unsupervised.)
I have discovered that, to announce a LAN server, Minecraft simply sends a UDP broadcast packet containing [MOTD]MinecraftWorldName[/MOTD][AD]25565[/AD] to 224.0.2.60, port 4445; but how can I make Minecraft send these out the Ethernet port instead of, or in addition to, the Wi-Fi adapter?


texts: Soloing Dungeons or How To Stop Those Pesky NPCs From Tagging Along

texts:
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to stop NPCs from tagging along when I am doing their quests in Skyrim?

I have been playing as a stealth character and am finding that the NPCs that want to accompany me on these missions (in particular, the Companions) keep getting in the way, pulling mobs before I'm ready, or bumping me when I am taking a shot causing a miss. They're more a hindrance than a help, so I'm looking for a way to prevent them from coming along?

I understand there is a method to stop followers, but I'm not sure this is the same thing. I'm playing vanilla Skyrim with no addons.

Is there any way to do this?

Edit: I don't believe this is a duplicate. The indicated previous question was about getting a quest follower to stop following on an abandoned or postponed quest. This question is about preventing an NPC or NPCs accompanying the player in a dungeon/quest.

Note the quests I've had the most trouble with NPCs on is the Companions quests, but I'd prefer to not be accompanied on any.

I noticed that at level 25 you get one support candy upon the 25th upgrade, but the tip suggested to me that you might get them at random or through some other mechanism; and further, the large numbers needed for various things suggest to me that there must be a better way than just getting a small number when winning certain league matches or the relatively rare upgrading a candy/training to 25 (which is very expensive).  I've played up through level 20 Magikarp (trainer level 10) and have only seen three support candies total.

I'm looking for a better way to get support candies, or a sense for how many you'll ever get.  So:

What is the list of ways to get support candies?

texts: Pokemon: Gotta catch 'em all, but how to get started?

texts:
I have not had much Pokemon interest in the past, but I have an extended trip coming up and am looking to give it a try.  I've spent my life learning enough about other magical universes, but just never got on the Pokemon train.  My concern now is that I am obviously coming into the phenom quite late, so most things related to the Pokemon universe are foreign to me.  I like to know all the lore (if that exists in this universe), and not miss important things in the series.

Am I gimping myself and my understanding of the series if I start with a certain title?

When playing as a Muslim or Pagan, I would like to inflict significant damage on the Christian world, and conquering Rome somehow doesn't grab me as that significant (not to mention that once I saw an adventurer declare war for Latium, conquer it, and then become a Prince-Bishop of Latium and vassal of the Pope: I suppose it was a bug/glitch, but nonetheless kind of disappointing).

So if I conquer Rome/Latium in general, what are my options? Should I just stay there and force the Pope to take off his funny hat and stay in the middle of nowhere, in some bishopric somewhere?

So I've been building this thing, to see how it works and if I can increase the efficiency some:

Now, I tried to increase the number of floors, but it's hard to determine the effects of it. Some times it seems as though the whole thing is broke as well.

I have one pouch of villagers on either side, dont't know if that affects anything though.

So my questions to this design is:

Is this thing considered as one, larger village? Or two separate ones?
How far away (vertically) does the next layer need to be for it to be recognized as two separate villages?

Here is the other one, which I have extended the length of:

And my questions to this design is:

Does increasing the space, doors and villagers increase the chance of iron golems spawning? Or does it just increase the cap?

texts: Is "animalese", or the language that Animal Crossing villagers use when talking, based on a real language?

texts:
I'm trying to understand Animalese, the language that the villagers audibly speak in. No, I'm not talking about their written dialogue, but the voice during said dialogue. Is it English? Is it Japanese?

For instance, when talking to Blathers in the museum and he says "Jolly Good", you can almost hear him actually say "Jolly Good" in Animalese. Of course, this doesn't apply to all conversations, where sometimes what sound comes out doesn't exactly seem to match up with what they're saying.

The keyboard you use when filling in passport forms and chatting also seems to assign audible syllables to each letter, although there are cases where they just don't match up.

In any case, what language is Animalese based on? And why does it sound so close to some languages moreso than others?


texts: How to prevent Civ 5 crash when clicking Load?

texts:
The Problem

I click Single Player > Load Game and immediately see this dialog:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: ...apps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Civilization.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

This problem affects many people. It's discussed widely in forums, but the proposed solutions don't work for me (or for many other people). Does anyone know of a solution?

I can load games with Steam is in Offline mode, but I want to save to the cloud, and also to stay online for other games.

The Setup

I've played Civ 5 for years on 3 other computers without this problem. I'm running under Steam on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. The is a newly installed & brawny laptop.

The Non-Solutions

Drivers, etc.

Use DX 9/10/11.
Update display driver.
Clean uninstall/reinstall of display driver.
Update DirectX.
Update Visual C++.

Video card

Reduce graphics settings.
Disable Crossfire/SLI.

Cache and save games

Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
Copy saved games from a different (working) computer.
Create a new game, save it, then try to load.
Delete the Saves and Cache folders in My Games \ Civ 5.

Steam and Civ 5 Options

Avoid building build lots of cities.
Try loading from the Mods menu instead of the main menu.
Run without mods installed.
Play in full screen or windowed mode.
Disable "Steam Community In-Game".
Run Steam as Administrator.

Get out of the car then get back in

Use a clean Windows installation.
Uninstall and reinstall Civilization 5.
Uninstall and reinstall Steam. [Given the time cost of reinstalling all games, don't want to do this unless it's a known fix.]

PROBLEM RESOLVED: NOTES

I resolved my crash by uninstalling Civilization 5, then uninstalling Steam, then reinstalling. I'm surprised this worked since the crash started happening initially on  a fresh Steam and Civ installation on a new computer.

It's possible the reinstall alone didn't fix the problem, but fixed it in combination with some of the above attempts (I suspect the video driver was involved). But even so, the problem persisted after each of the above attempted fixes and was only resolved after I removed and reinstalled both Civ and Steam.

This was a last resort since it also involved uninstalling other Steam games. Following StarPilot's answer below you might be able to save your other games by:

Uninstalling Civ
Backing up your SteamApps folder
Uninstalling Steam
Reinstalling Steam
Restoring your SteamApps folder
Reinstalling Civ

But I didn't use those steps exactly, so I can't say whether that resolves the problem and/or preserves your other Steam games.

texts:
On my Xbox Live account a while back I had Foxtel. I got over it / didn't have time for it after a couple months of paying for this service and I removed it from my account.

I haven't been charged for it since, so I'm considering it closed / null / void.

Last night out of pure being too tired to think properly I selected Foxtel from the main menu, which has recently been updated interface wise.

I didn't realize until about 20 minutes later but I was able to view quite a number of channels even though I didn't have a Foxtel subscription.

I'm now concerned that this has automatically resubscribed me to my old plan and will begin charging me.

Is this the case, or are there just a few channels that are free? (Seems weird if so). I thought it might deduct Microsoft Points or similar per hour but that doesn't seem to have been the case.

texts: Is it safe to download the "Java free" version of Minecraft?

texts:
On my old launcher, there is a message in red text saying:

  You are running on an old version of Java. Please consider using the new Minecraft installer which doesn't require Java, as it may make your game faster

I updated Java to the newest version (just to see if the message would go away). After updating java I opened up my launcher and it still said I'm using an older version of Java. When I try to install an updated java now it says tells me I already have the newest version. So I gave in and downloaded the new installer.

I tried using the new launcher after some debate to play on a minecraft server and not getting the message to go away. When I entered the server on the (Java free) launcher, the window kept freezing (Not responding) And when I tried to type for other players to know I wasn't able to move the text bar kept highlighting and deleting random letters and words from what I was typing.

I would type something like:

  "I can't type, and I can't move my window isn't responding"

and it would highlight random letters in blue and words in green then send as

  "an' pe iwin'spo"

The whole text thing was very quick and I cannot screen cap it. If I type slow the text gets deleted almost instantly. Like minecraft is the worlds worst auto-correct and I couldn't turn it off. It also took up more of my cpu than using the old launcher. But with less quality, it was definitely worse.

I immediately went back to the old launcher but I'm wondering if the new launcher isn't working yet (Still has lots of bugs) or if it is dangerous in some way since I haven't seen much evidence or updates from minecraft on my launcher page other than the red text.

Oh, also with the new launcher, when I open it up my computer wallpaper flickers, then all my icons temporarily become blank white page icons. They all return to normal pretty quickly but the 1 second everything seems to blank out is making me very afraid that this was a dangerous launcher for my computer. I won't open it again because I don't like my computer acting like it's going to blue screen.

I have Windows 7, 64 bit, on a Toshiba laptop with 4gb of ram.

texts: Renaming things with resource packs in minecraft (specifically potions)?

texts:
I've been making a resource pack and renaming many of the items in vanilla Minecraft. To me, it seems that the variables to change potion names are not working. I tested this with 1.8.8 and the most recent snapshot. The names of other items that I have changed are working.

I am modifying the en_US.lang file.

Here are some variables that I changed but don't seem to do anything:

item.emptyPotion.name=Basic Pill
entity.ThrownPotion.name=Syringe
potion.prefix.grenade=Syringe
item.potion.name=Dose
potion.moveSpeed.postfix=Dose of Swiftness
potion.potency.0=Level 1
potion.effects.whenDrank=When taken:
potion.empty=This capsule contains no drugs.
item.emptyPotion.name=Basic Pill

For some reason, potion.potency.1=Level 2 works, whereas potion.potency.0=Level 1 doesn't.

I realize that some of these variables probably wouldn't affect item names in game. However, I have change all the variables in this file that contain the words I am trying to replace (i.e. 'splash potion,' 'potion,' and 'water bottle.') and the corresponding items in game remain unchanged.

I am hoping this isn't a glitch and there is something I am missing. Thanks in advance for your replies.

(And yes before anyone asks I am making a drug themed resource pack for a specific purpose)


texts:
I just started with this quite old game. I have a rather good working city and wanted to export garbage to the neighbouring city. This worked fine. Then I wanted to import Electricity from the neighbouring city. This didn't work at all.

Here's what I did:
Build a road to the edge. Build a power line to the edge. Go to the other city, built three power plants and give them full money and build garbage places, connect everything with streets and lines. Go back to the main city. I can export garbage. Fine. But I can not import Power. Not fine.

My city went to ruin because I had no money left and I destroyed the power plants because I thought that importing only works when I have no power plants.

Can someone please give me a detailed explanation on how to trade electricity between cities?


texts: Do you acquire/unlock any items through story-line, rather than buying or renting them from the shop?

texts:
I started playing A Link Between Worlds on release and so far I love almost everything about the game. I'm about 8 hours in and have done a lot of side-quests so just reached the Lorule.

The mechanic for items in the game differs a lot from the Zelda series in it's way that you can rent (for around 50-120 rupees) and buy item (for 800-1200 rupees). It's a cool function that makes a lot of side-quests accessible much sooner then what we (Zelda game lovers) are used to.

Link to all items

But my question is this:
Do you get items from story-line? (So that you don't spend like 1200 rupees on a item that you will get 2 hours later).

Bosses seems to be immune to taunting, in fact they seemed to attack those that deals more damage resulting in my character being mostly ignored by bosses.
Potion recharge by killing, my character lacks damage and therefore unable to charge back potions needed.
Evasion tanking is not reliable at all, regardless which base character I attempt it ends up focusing on armour/energy shield instead.

I have searched around for suggested Tank builds but those builds focus on being able to survive while hitting the boss and not what I have in mind.

Is there any way to build a tanker that can effectively draw attacks(especially from bosses) to let the damage dealers of the party focus more on doing damage?


texts: PS4 drastic connection speed drop recently

texts:
Before I start, YES, I know that there are 101 pages of similar problems and similar error, but no clear steps are given, nor explanations. So:

We have had our PS4 for 6 months, and in that time i have occasionally checked internet speeds. Our modems average, via Ookla Speed Test, is ~14Mb/s down and ~750Kb/s up. The PS4 network test (Again I will save myself pain: I know it is unreliable, I simply compare it to itself) usually comes up with ~10Mb/s down and ~650Kb/s up.

Now, that was until recently. A few weeks back, a local server went down (Telstra is our ISP, an Australian one for anyone who doesn't know), and we had no internet for 24 hours. Since sometime between then and now, the PS4 speed has dropped to ~2.5Mb/s down although ~700Kb/s up - yes, that has apparently increased. We now get irritatingly persistent lag issues, and while still playable we are constantly reminded by Battlefront of our 'weak connection' in the top right of the screen. However it is important to note that the Ookla Speed Test still gives the same results, so it is our PS4.

Notes:

During the PlayStation network test, it occasionally says we have NAT type 3, rather than 2 (only rarely)
It claims that our router doesn't support IP fragmentation, which it never used to say.
We use wireless rather than cable, ethernet isn't available (only one port in the whole house).
We're in Australia if you couldn't tell, which is why 14 is actually a great speed for us - Australia has shocking speeds.

Attempted Fixes:

Changed DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4, didn't change anything
Changed PS4 MTU size to 1470, incredibly fractional increase in DL speed
Changed router MTU to 1500 and 1450, neither helped.
Something perhaps important: our 2.4/5Ghz networks were both set to half their maximum bandwidth, but increasing them to full did nothing
For the IT Crowd fans, yes I tried turning it off and on again, both the PS4 and router.

What I would like is a succinct answer, with (preferably) every possible unmentioned fix in order of likely effectiveness, and why it is done - mostly because every other page seems to be a reddit page which requires an hour of reading with no benefit, and I feel like there should be a good list of options out there for everyone. Thank you in advance.

AND

if this is the wrong site for this question please just tell me rather than reporting it, I wasn't sure which to use.


texts: How do you save the level-ups to Skylanders Giants figurines?

texts: Started playing Skylanders Giants last night and leveled up to Level 3 on Tree Rex.  However, when we switched to 1 player on the same story line instead of 2, and went back to the first world/level to get items we had missed, it dropped back to Level 1 instead of Level 3.  Could have been because we switched out characters as well.  Is there a way to hard save to the figurine what you have done with it? Haven't been able to find the controls to do so.  It's a Wii Portal, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

texts: How does multiplying damage work in Skyrim?

texts:
I am having trouble calculating how much damage my character can do in one attack.
I get multipliers from various sources:

100 one-handed skill(because 100 skill lvl = 1.4x to the base damage. See the formula for some information)
5 perks for Armsman(double damage).
no weapon bonus damage enchantment items.
sneak attack (x15 with daggers).
shrouded gloves from dark brotherhood (makes the sneak attack 30x.)
dualwielding legendary daedric daggers(thats base damage of about 21 each).
power attacking(double damage with 50% bonus from dual wielding perk (also does standing power attack get thrown in while sneaking?).
getting a critical hit(double damage if I'm not mistaken).
and if I'm not forgetting anything using the Berzerker orc power(doubles damage).

My question is, what kind of damage multiplier am I looking at here?

According to the UESP page on weapons in Skyrim, the damage formula is:

displayed damage = (base damage + smithing upgrade)
                 * (1 + 0.4 * skill/100)
                 * (1 + perk % damage boosts)
                 * (1 + % damage from items)

texts: Why is my new server not letting me connect?

texts:
I followed the Minecraft wiki on how to set up a new server (extract zip, add name to admin file and run). However, when I connect through the local client to the server using 127.0.0.1 as my IP (localhost) the local client freezes, and the server reports Kicking /127.0.0.1: You need to log in!.

But since I was using the local client, I had logged in and I have in fact bought the game. Whats going on? How do I fix this? I am also running the latest version of Java.

texts: Power Play: Are the rating bonuses cumulative?

texts:
As asked in the title: Are Power Play rating bonuses cumulative?

For instance, rating 1 gives a weekly bonus of 1000 credits, rating 2 gives a weekly bonus of 50000 credits, so do I get 51000 credits bonus when I have rating 2? The same goes for preparation nominations and Power commodity allocations.

Another example: Rating 3 for Aisling Duval provides access to Prismatic Shield Generators, but this bonus is not mentioned anymore in the description for rating 4 and 5. So does this mean that I can still buy Prismatic Shield Generators when I move from rating 3 to rating 4 (cumulative) or do I lose that bonus (which would be extremely weird, IMO, but would be along the lines of non-cumulative bonuses).

texts: Why aren't my campaign and settings saving?

texts:
I have just purchased the game on PC. I started it up, did the display-calibration and played the intro (where you die all the time) and played the first campaign mission. After that, I shut the game down, took a break, and wanted to continue later. However, when I started the game I had to do the display-calibration again and also play the whole intro again. My campaign was also not saved.

So basically everytime I shut the game down and restart it, I am at the complete beginning.

Does anybody have the same problem and is there maybe a fix already?

texts: Why does the "evolve" button sometimes show only a silhouette?

texts:
After a recent update, I've noticed that the "evolve" button sometimes shows a miniature image of the next evolution of the Pokémon instead of just a silhouette. I'd assumed this was based on whether I'd caught the next evolution of the Pokémon. However, that appears to be wrong, as several Pokémon that I already have still show up as only a silhouette on the "evolve" button.

When/why do some Pokémon show up in full color vs. a silhouette on the "evolve" button?

For example, in the screenshots below, I've caught/evolved multiple Ivysaur, but see the silhouette, while I've only caught one Bayleef, but it shows up in color.

texts: Completing the Lost Patrol [BoS side] quest...?

texts:
I seem to be having a problem completing the Brotherhood of Steel sidequest Lost Patrol, and I'm wondering if I've hit a bug/if anyone knows how to workaround it/has experienced the same problem/etc.

Basically, I'm at the point where I'm supposed to report to Danse to complete the quest, but can't figure out how to get that dialogue option.

The longer version...

I stumbled onto the Lost Patrol quest before even doing the first BoS quest, Fire Support. I ended up retrieving Knight Astlin's holotape (second one for this quest) and clearing the National Guard Training Yard as part of some sidequest to get a settlement to join me, still without doing Fire Support.

Eventually, I got back around to BoS quests, punching through Fire Support, then Call to Arms, then the first iteration of both   Cleansing the Commonwealth and Quartermastery.  Following that, I listened to the holotapes, pushed through and completed the quest,

   even convincing Paladin Brandis to rejoin the Brotherhood.

Now I have Report to Danse as the next quest objective... but I can't.  When I talk to him, I get forced into Semper Invicta, and at every step between there and completing Tour of Duty, talking to him results in being told to go do the objective in the active quest in the BoS quest line, culminating as him being available as a companion.

And now that he's available as a companion, that seems to be the only dialogue option I get when I talk to him. I can either take him on, or tell him  not now, which ends the conversation. If I do take him on as a companion, I can't seem to trigger a way to report the quest to him, whether he's traveling with me, or is currently dismissed.

Am I missing something, or have I found a bug?  And does anyone have suggestions or similar experiences?

texts:
I've been using "hopper timers" to create long delays for some automated harvesters, using what seems to be a pretty standard method with comparators.  So far this has been working well.  But for the past few days I've been unable to build a new one.

When I start with the two mutually connected hoppers, I test them by dropping a stack of items into one of them to make sure it moves back and forth.  But now any new such pairs of hoppers I create only move one of the items back and forth over and other, leaving the rest of the stack in the original hopper.

I've checked my existing ones and they're still functioning as designed.  But any new ones seem to suffer this problem of not exchanging all of the items.  Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Edit: As requested, here's a screenshot of a hopper pair:

And here's one of the right-side hopper's contents:

In this case, there are 10 redstones placed in the right-side hopper.  That hopper keeps toggling between 9 and 10, and the left-side hopper keeps toggling between empty and 1.


texts: Do the new command blocks still cause lag by sending a bunch of packets?

texts:
So basically in 1.8 the was a 63 block update limit (as explained here)

My question is when the command blocks changed, does the server still send packets every tick telling the client that the command block were powered? If so is there anything I can do to remove that so I can have a large amount of command blocks near the person and not lag them out? Or in general should I not have my command blocks near the person?

And on a side note, can you also tell me what the block update limit (per chunk) was increased to?

texts: While on a routine clean-up mission on the ramparts of Drangleic Castle, I came across a ladder by a door leading to an Alonne knight captain. Having settled a disagreement with the captain I wanted to check out the open area, and was promptly attacked by a belfry gargoyle. At one point it was doing a swooping attack and simply continued off the platform and behind some other ramparts. Since my full armour parkour skills are sub-par I decided to wait; the miscreant was sure to return. But no such luck. And, being a beast with means of flight, no souls were forthcoming. Is there some way to come to a satisfactory solution for this conundrum?

texts: Origin of game trope where you travel between similar realities to progress?

texts:
In the recent years, many games seem to use a trope where you travel between slightly different realities to progress, either as a core mechanic or in a single level. The examples I can think of are Guacamelee (World of the Living/Dead), Titanfall 2 (past and present time) and most recently in Sayonara Wild Hearts (Parallel Worlds), which made me write this question. Is there a game that could be traced as the origin of this mechanic?

Note: I am not looking for a game where you simply travel between different realities/times as the game progresses, I specifically mean games where you quickly switch between slightly different realities to overcome an obstacle. This can be player-triggered by button press, object interaction or strictly scripted.

I recently purchased Conkers Bad Fur Day for Nintendo 64 and it came today. I plugged it into my Nintendo 64 and I got nothing but a black screen. I cleaned the contacts on the board with isopropyl and Q-tips but still refused to boot.

I then tested some of my other games to make sure it wasn't the ram that had gone, or that the pins inside were dirty. All my other games work fine.

I then opened it up completely to have a look at the internals and one of the screw holes for the motherboard had been snapped off (Check images for look-see). Upon research it was only used for grounding the motherboard so it didn't matter that much as the other hole was fine

I have no other ideas as to why the game will not work/boot on my console.

P.S If there is anything anyone wants to see on the board, feel free to ask if it helps me finally get to play this amazing game!!!!

EDIT: May have found the problem. Two points on the board were cold solder points and also had lifted pads. Going to try re-solder them and see what happens

texts: How can I convert a save file for a retail game into a save file for the digital version of the same game?

texts:
I bought Persona 4 Arena for the PS3 back in August and logged dozens of hours in the game in order to to unlock all the single player content. Two weeks ago, I decided to buy the digital version because I still play it to this day and wanted the convenience of having it on my hard drive. Unfortunately, after buying and playing it, the original save file wouldn’t work as the files are named differently (one is Persona 4 ARENA, the other is Persona 4 ARENA [DL]) and Sony wouldn’t give me a refund.

I got a tip on how to convert my original save file into the new one and I even found a video showing this process. However, there are some differences that are impeding me to do so. My save folder includes the following files:

ICON0.PNG
PARAM.PFD
PARAM.SFO
PIC1.PNG
SYSTEM.DAT

I assumed the SYSTEM.DAT file was the equivalent of the STATE file from the video, so I followed the same steps but got an error while trying to load the file. Is there any way to fix this? Are there any tools that will allow me to play the digital version with my old retail file?

texts: How to test weapons in Battlefield 3 without affecting accuracy score?

texts: Do you know of any time when the game is [not] counting the bullets you fire or registering any hits or misses? Would the time when there is this "Waiting for players" message be suitable? The reason I ask these questions is that, as mentioned in the main question in the title, I want to be able to just change weapons, test them out with different setups, suicide the kit character, switch to a different kit or weapon, test again, and rinse and repeat. My best guess is the "Waiting for players" screen, but I'm not 100% sure that firing bullets in the air during that time really doesn't count; I hope so. Can anyone confirm this or give me a different tip to test weapons? Many thanks for anyone taking the time to offer tips or information.

texts: What is the difference between the Chantry Garden and the Herb Garden upgrade in Skyhold?

texts:
I want to upgrade the garden in Skyhold, but the descriptions are a bit too vague for me. The chantry garden upgrade is described to bring "a potential resource gain from the inspired, including gold from tithes" and the herb garden "allows more herbs to be harvested".

I'd like to know how exactly the two options differ in the end.

If I choose the chantry garden:
- Can I still grow herbs, and if so, how many?
- What exactly is the "potential resource gain" and how frequent and useful is it (Do you get rare upgrade material or just commong things like iron)?
- How frequently and in what amount do you get the money from tithes?

If I choose the herb garden:
- How many herbs can I grow there?
- Do they grow faster, or is there any other herb growing advantage compared to the chantry garden?
- Does it offer any other advantages?


texts: What's the objective in Adventure Mode (inside Maxwell's Door)?

texts: I've played for several hours now, eventually I found Maxwell's Door, I know that at the end of the five levels mentioned you unlock Maxwell, the thing is, I've no idea what to do inside these levels, I failed to go through the first one since I have no clue on what to do and 'cause I've little or no resources I eventually die.


texts: Does Skyrim implement different endings?

texts: Not much to add here — I would like to know if Skyrim implements multiple endings.


texts: Any perks to getting 100% on Assassins Creed 4?

texts: I was just wondering if there is anything like a special item or upgrade you get for 100% the game, haven't finished the game fully yet so no spoilers please!


texts: Who should I focus fire (discord) with Zen?

texts:
Which group of heroes should be my target, ordered from most to least important ?
I personally tend to discord Reinhardt (tanks) as soon as he drops his shield to fire strike, and if a flanker attacks me or goes behind us in general, I'd prioritise them, so they'd die quicker and I'd have an idea where they're hiding. In a big team fight I'd juggle between tanks and support. Am i doing it right or is there some room for improvement?


texts: What are these red triangle-shaped things?

texts: I found this red triangle formation while exploring and I am unsure what it is.  I don't want to touch it until I know; what is it?


texts:
Can you use the testforblock command on a beacon's beam?

So, if there is a beam above the beacon, the testforblock command will turn on, for it found a beacon's beam. Can this work?


texts: My game froze and I lost my Pokemon! What can I do?

texts:
While playing Pokémon Go, I was catching a Pokémon when suddenly the game stopped responding (the ball stopped moving, and I couldn't do anything about it).

I restarted the game, but I lost the Pokémon (he did not appear on the map, nor was he in my Pokémon collection). Is there anything I can do to avoid losing Pokémon like this?


texts:
I made a map that will come out very soon but I have a problem: When the player crafted a crafting table, it cannot be placed!

And also when he/she crafted it, I would like to replace the crafted block with a crafting table with CanPlaceOn.

I think this is used by other maps like The Useless Button.


texts: How do I see bad guys on Battlefield 3 multiplayer map?

texts:
I started playing the beta for Battlefield 3 and was expecting the gameplay to be like Call of Duty, but it is markedly different.  I felt like I needed to creep around a lot more and it wasn't obvious to me how I got killed when I got killed (no enemy camera replay).

How do you see where the bad guys are at in BF3 on the map? I could see my own players but couldn't figure out how to see when the other team was firing.


texts: Can I rename an item without enchanting it?
