  What's the easiest way to pull a flying dragon?

While walking around, I sometimes see a dragon flying overhead, but no matter what I try, they don't appear to see me and won't initiate combat. I like to tell myself it's because they're scared of me, however there's probably more to it than that. There are other times, there appears to be no problem getting them to fight me.

I've tried hitting them with arrows, but leading them can be quite difficult. Is there another way to get a dragon to fight me consistently?

texts: How do I predict when a car will blow up?

texts:
Using an explosive to blow up a car next to an enemy is a great way to get some extra damage in. This is especially useful with grenades. Sometimes I can get two enemies in the radius, but the third one is outside it. The car the third one is standing next to, however, is inside the radius. So, if I can reliably get the car to explode before the enemy moves, I can still damage all three with the one action. Or, sometimes, a large enemy will be next to a car. I can blow them up with an explosive, and then get more damage from the car going off.

However, I'm not always able to predict when the car is going to explode before damaging it, meaning that the enemy may move before it blows, meaning I wasted my explosive when I could have just shot them.

Sometimes, it explodes immediately after the explosive hits it, sometimes it blows up at the start of the next turn, and sometimes it takes all the way until the start of the turn after next.

How do I know how quickly the car will explode? Does it depend upon the explosive used, the positioning, or maybe the type of car?

The focus here is on being able to predict when it's going to blow up prior to doing any damage, in order to aid tactical decision making.

texts:
Ever since 1.04 came out, I've managed to desync the game twice.  I'm not 100% sure what I did to cause it in the first place, but when it happens, it looks like this:

Symptoms include:

Unable to die.  The damage I take is fairly significant, but my life never hits 0.  I don't die.
Unable to move.  This is like the previous de-sync issue, where you'd rubberband once you got a certain distance away from the de-sync point, and then you'd be fine.  But now, the distance is point blank, and moving away doesn't resolve the issue.  So it looks like massive stutter when I move.
Can't be seen.  I'm entirely invisible.  Anything that affects me shows the various effects where I'm supposed to be, but I can't see myself at all.  I still take damage normally, though.
Can't attack.  Shift-clicking does nothing, attacking anything that's close enough to hit does no damage.
Can't use special abilities.  It's like it doesn't register that I'm using special abilities.
Can't use Town Portal.  Same as special abilities; it's like it doesn't register at all.
Buffs continue to countdown.  I can't refresh them (see special abilities above), but they continue to count down as usual.

My usual fix for desyncing is to move far enough away from the point to allow the server to resync me.  But, I can't move at all; the rubberbanding just dumps me right back, without resyncing properly.  In those cases, I use Dashing Strike to fix the issue.  But special abilities are out entirely, too.

The only way I know of to fix this is to leave my game.  This is not really fun, as I'll lose my valor stacks when I do so.

If anyone has a technique or way to resolve this that doesn't involve leaving the game, please let me know.

I've tried using Shock Jockey to stun him, but it wears off before I can get behind him reliably.  Birds have no effect on him and he's far too heavy to lift with Bucking Bronco.  Possession wears off as quickly as Shock Jockey.

texts: Battle Nations buildings and units are all invisible

texts:
There's an item on the Z2 website which says:

  With the new 3.0 update, a new 50 MB client was introduced.  Upon
  booting it up, you may notice that several units and buildings are
  invisible.  This is normal as the game downloads the remaining
  graphics in the background.  Once the client is done playing catch up,
  everything should look fine.

However, everything is not fine.  Since yesterday, all buildings (and units in battles) are invisible.  I'm using MacOS.  I've had the game running for an hour or two and not one building has appeared.   My outpost looks like a barren wasteland (albeit with some floating produce icons--the only way I can find my farms now!).

Edit: five days later, there's no solution in sight.  Z2 support said this is a known issue on iOS but not Mac OS X, and suggested reinstalling the game "several times."  It still doesn't work, and I haven't the slightest idea why.

Oh, and what's my question?  Has anyone else seen this problem or similar and/or has an idea how to fix it?

texts: Is the Karazhan mythic access account wide?

texts:
I've seen some posts about this on battle.net and some people say yes and others say no. I haven't found a blue post about this to confirm either of those opinions.

Since the Suramar mythic dungeons were not initially account-wide when opened you had to quest through Suramar with every character in order to get in, which Blizzard patched later to require this step only once.
Does this now apply for Karazhan as well or do you have to quest again with every single toon you want to get into the dungeon with (and Blizzard making it account-wide later again)?

texts:
I am currently using the Bukkit Server and a couple mods/plugins such as LocalShops, Craftbook, Iconomy, and so on.

However, far more interesting mods (in my opinion) are out there, and I have NO CLUE how to implement them.

For example...
The Pistons Mod
and
The Planes Mod

Everyone seems to have explanations for how to install these mods in SSP or Singleplayer, and I have been completely unsuccessful in attempting to figure it out myself.

I understand Planes Mod currently does not support Bukkit.  And I am willing to kill the Bukkit server and start a different one so long as similar mods to Localshops and Craftbook can be found for said new server.


texts: I Broke Solitude in Skyrim and Need Help

texts:
I've been playing Skyrim PC recently, and was working through the Civil War questline with the Stormcloaks. I had a bounty of 1,059 gold when I completed the Fort Greenwall quest. I returned to Galmar Stone-Fist and started the Battle for Solitude quest.
On my way to Solitude, I was stopped by a guard and paid off my bounty, resulting in it loading with me outside Castle Dour. Due to that, the quest progressed to where I needed to kill General Tulius inside.
A while later, when attempting to return to Solitude, it didn't show up on my map, so I walked and when I attempted to enter the city, it spawned Ulfric and several Stormcloaks. Ulfric gave a battle speech to pep the troops on to attack the city.
I assumed that I would just have to go through the quest again, and went up to the city, but when I attempted to open the door, I received this message onscreen: "You must help the soldiers defend the city before you can enter."
I waited to see if I could bypass this. I researched online to see if I could complete the quest using commands, but that also came up bust.
I save over my previous save games to conserve space, and so I can't go back to a previous save to retry this. Please help me figure out how to fix this, or uncover my autosaves to go back and redo this.

texts:
I used to be able to turn my Xbox on with the wireless controller without fail but recently it will work for a while and then just suddenly stop turning on the Xbox. I hold the center X button and it flashes and the Xbox doesn't turn on. The only way I've found to (temporarily) fix this is to completely unplug the Xbox power, plug it back in and then the controller will turn on the Xbox again when the center X button is pressed.

Of course, this only works for a while and then it eventually goes back to not working and I need to unplug the Xbox again. Any idea why this is happening and how I can permanently fix it?

Thing is, I'd already broken the bank at Atomic Wrangler. I didn't know whether or not it was necessary for the achievement, but since it had such a low limit (and a personal goal was to get banned from gambling at every casino), I took it down in between Gomorrah and Ultra-Luxe.

texts: Are Playstation 2 saved games (esp. Gran Turismo 3) portable across regions?

texts:
I've been playing the Japanese release of Gran Turismo 3 on my PS2.  What happens if I take my PS2 memory card, and use it with the American release of GT3?

The GT games use an arbitrary "Credits" as money, but they are clearly intended to mimic the local currency, e.g., a car that costs 20,000 credits in the American version costs 2,000,000 credits in the Japanese version, matching the dollar/yen exchange rate.

There are two parts to this, I guess:

Are PS2 memory cards region-locked when they're initialized, like the games, or will any card data work anywhere?
Do PS2 save-games use the same format for all regions (and then the particular game simply displays your money adjusted for the PS2's region's currency), or is "Japanese GT3" considered a different game than "American GT3" for the purposes of save-game files?

(I'm interested in the answer to this question for Okami, too, since the Japanese version of the game apparently doesn't have the "jukebox" feature for playing the soundtrack, and buying the official soundtrack -- if you can find one -- costs 10 times what the game does!  So being able to use a Japanese Okami save-game with an American Okami would let me record the soundtrack for my iPod a lot more cheaply and easily.)


texts:
A family member has their Steam account under the same Windows account as me, which means their installed games show up in my library and vice versa (for reasons I cannot fathom). It appears there is no setting to turn this off.

I can get around this by going to Library > My Games, which only shows my personal games. However, this makes my categories disappear! In a large library, this makes browsing my own games difficult (especially as I'm not done retagging since Steam recently deleted all my categories o_o).

So my question is this:

  How do I display my library without others' libraries showing up and with the categories intact?

Making a second Windows account is technically probably a solution, but would be rather inconvenient and should be unnecessary.

Others have recommended third party tools for organizing libraries (e.g. here); perhaps it can be done there but this seems like a trivial feature to have built-in. Another potential option I suppose is to move the install location of all their games (e.g. like this)? But this seems failure prone and manual labor heavy.


texts: Generate an almost flat world in Minecraft

texts:
I had started a "builds" world (default world settings) in 1.12.2 some time ago and am adding new builds weekly, hence I decided to make the map like a big city, divided in areas by architectural style.
The Problem
The problem is terrain. I've tried to flatten it with WorldEdit (I have chosen my base level to be 63), but it leaves awful walls at the edges:
And WorldEdit's //smooth does a terrible job covering them (as seen bellow).

(thank you WE for the stairs)
What I've tried
1. World type: customised
I have tried playing around with the preset settings using this online tool (minecraft.tools) and most specifically with the "micro-relief" setting (I used low values).
This did a great job in matters of flatness, but did some huge malformations with mountains (without touching anything else than micro-relief):

These caves beneath are gigantic (600+ blocks), super common and sometimes even stacked vertically (as the ones in the upper part of the picture). Extremely steep cliffs are also not a rare sight. (On the bottom right you can see a piece of nice and flat plains).
2. World type: super flat (preset with decorations - ores, trees, etc.)
This is now way too flat. No rivers, hills, no regular mountains. It doesn't look natural.
What would be the perfect result?
Mountains and rivers (as a background/panorama) surrounding some big flat areas (plains, forests, etc.) with minimum elevation difference.
If possible, I'm looking for some advice or tips on how to generate a world that is a combination of the two images below:
Default World (as a background to the scenery)

World with low values of "micro-relief" (land to build big mansions, houses, and cities)

Last night, we had a discussion regarding promotions on the ladder.
One of the issues where whether the points have influence on promotion or not, and neither of us can find legit facts to the points on the ladder.
We couldn't find any facts regarding the points at all, besides the fact that it ranks you on the ladder.

Do the points on the ladder have any other meaning besides placing you from 1-100 on the ladder?


texts: What's the best way to beat a lag switcher?

texts:
A lag switch is a mechanism that allows inserting delays into the flow of traffic on a network. When used during a video game, it has the effect of having the character appear frozen in the game while the cheating player can continue to play locally as normal and gain advantage over his opponents.

In Black Ops, there are tons of lag switchers. You can tell when you're playing a game and there are 5 host migrations in a 10 minute round. That, and just general game play.

Now, my question is how can us fair gamers beat these cheaters? Are there any anti-lag-switch type devices? Or any particular style of game play that is lag-switch resistant?


texts: Old School RuneScape kingdom management: what's the difference between collecting resources daily and weekly?

texts:
In Old School RuneScape, I currently have 10 of my 15 Miscellanian subjects collecting herbs and the other 5 collecting maple logs.

I collect my kingdom's produced resources weekly (every seven days), topping up my favor and coffers when I do.

With the same allocation of workers (10 herb, 5 maple), how much more would my kingdom produce if I maintained it daily rather than weekly?

texts: What are the differences between Reimu's Spell Cards?

texts:
In Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, I've so far been using Reimu and her Spell Card "Fantasy Seal" with the "Homing Amulet" sub-weapon. I admit I've become a little spoiled using the Homing Amulet, because it, well, auto-homes in on the enemies, which is pretty handy.

What advantages does using the Spell Card "Evil Sealing Circle" with the "Persuasion Needle" sub-weapon have over the Homing Amulet? Does it the Persuasion Needle do more DPS than the Homing Amulet? Why would I want to choose that over a weapon that auto-homes in on the enemies?

I admit that I don't use my bombs very often, so I'm entirely unsure of the differences between the bomb effects of the two cards.

texts: Can unicorns still teleport if you are riding them?

texts: I'm thinking about taming a unicorn that resides in Sokoban (I already found a saddle). My character is a SAM w/MR + SDSM and a ring of teleport control if that matters (if it does, please alert for followup Qs)..  I know that Unis can teleport when cornered, and think this might be an interseting, if not useful, quirk to explore. I've read the wiki, but there's no mention of whether this possibly lifesaving (or possibly irritating) trait of Unis persists when ridden.  I'd like to not waste this scroll if it's a definite No.  Any facts you can share?

Does this number reset ever? I did have this Pokemon in this same Gym earlier in the day. Will this number stay the same for each Gym or for all Gyms?

It's hard to see from this image, because the buttons literally hide the number but it says:

  BATTLES WON: 1

texts:
Does anyone know what's the exact effect of security cameras in the First World Bank mission?  We played the mission with and without destroying the cameras, and we're not sure it's making a real difference.  The Payday's wiki says this:

  By the time you start heading to a room with a copier you probably
  have killed or tied up most of the bank security personnel and shoot
  some cameras to weaken future SWAT assaults on your team a bit.

But I doubt it.  The only difference we noticed is that only two elevators' doors will open if you destroy the four cameras in the security hall.  If you don't, the four gates will open.


texts: How bad is AMX 13 F3 AM with weaker radio?

texts:
I'm an artillery guy at heart, quite far with German arty (near to getting G.W.Tiger), had a taste of Russian (up to SU-8), but I decided to have a taste of French, skipping the lower tiers and simultaneously to taste the life of a fast, stealthy scout (ELC AMX), so I'm aiming to get AMX 13 F3 AM through the light tank route.

I'm currently on AMX 12 t and it's advancing slowly. I really don't like this tank. Big, poor armor, terrible angles, poor acceleration, poor aim, six weak rounds in autoloader a significant step back from the slow but mighty ELC gun, and matchmaking throwing me against Tier X opponents which can bounce my direct hit down the driver's viewport or one-shot me with splash damage.

I got it fully upgraded, except for the radio. I'm doing some 5k XP a day, and I'm quite a bit away from the needed 64,000XP needed for the AMX 13 F3 AM.

The 9000XP required for the best radio would make a significant dent in my budget, and I'm really not finding it essential (the tank not being lean enough to sneak deep behind enemy lines; current radio is perfectly sufficient for flanking, stealth-scouting at extended foreposts or leading support fire from second line (while looking for openings for flanking).

Thing is, that radio is the only thing inherited by AMX 13 F3 AM from AMX 12 t. I know the radio is the holy spirit of the artillery. Normally, 13 F3 would have inherited it from its artillery predecessors. That way it won't - unless I spend another 2 days on the light tank grinding for it.

My plan is to get to the arty ASAP, and earn my better radio there. 9k XP in a tier VI artillery is normally a breeze for me.
Except I never played a higher tier arty with poor radio. I know it will perform poorly - the question is, how poorly? If it's more than 3 days of grinding, I'm better off spending the time in AMX 12 t.

Any experiences? Insights? Ideas?

I assume that it's worth taking weapons with a matching damage type into the mission?

When you buy the game after its April release, you can play its single-player campaign, but need a separate paid subscription for online competitive play.
When you pre-order the game, you are allowed into the beta test, but need an additional paid subscription to compete with others in the beta test.

texts:
In minecraft, I built a portal to the nether but whilst I was building a safe haven around my portal in the nether, I excavated a chunk of netherrack and lava poured out and flooded around the base of my portal, killing me. The lava is shallow but it surrounds all sides of the portal.

After resurrecting and teleporting back, I can't seem to place sand in the lava whilst remaining within the portal. As soon as I step outside I die.

In the normal world, I tried constructing a couple of new portals increasingly far away, but they take me back to my lava flooded nether-side portal.

Is there any way to neutralise the lava before stepping from the portal?
How far away must my top-side portal be to create a new nether portal?

The Grox are remarkably unpleasant, and will hound you on your way to the galactic core and back, and then possibly go into a nearly-infinite war with you, being extremely hard to eradicate at 2400 planets. I would like to meet them. I also would like to not have to drop whatever I'm doing to defend a colony against a Grox attack every 5 minutes afterward.

Can I balance my relationship with the Grox so that they will never attack me, but without allying with them and making the rest of the galaxy attack me or having to travel all the way back to the center of the galaxy again and again to shine my happy ray on them? Failing that, can I reach the galactic core without them becoming aware of my existence, eliminating the problem in an unsatisfying way?

My plan is to skip all of the ones from one of the acts while collecting all of them from the others. I usually don't play the entire single-player game in one sitting and there's a possibility that I may have chosen to skip the planks from a previous act or maybe I intended to do this on the last act, but I just can't remember and I may have accidentally missed a plank somewhere anyways. I don't want to have to start over because I screwed this up again so it would be a great benefit to know how many strange planks I have collected before I do the last act. Is there a way to check how many planks I have? Maybe by inspecting the save file or through something in the interface that I missed?

I can get it to happen about 25% of the time while I'm just practicing in an open area with no enemies.  I can't seem to figure this out, so there is no way I can reliably do it in combat.

To be clear: during the other 75% of the time (when I fail to pull off the move(s)) I get a step forward and light attack or heavy attack.  So my buttons and stick are working on the controller.  This appears to be strictly a timing issue.

texts:
My son has recently started playing Minecraft and asked if we could play together.  He has an Amazon Fire, but I have a PC.
I have found Bluestacks and am running (what I believe to be) Minecraft Pocket Edition on my PC.  He has a world on his Amazon Fire that I was able to join into and build with him.  However, recently I have not been able to.
He is currently running 1.16.201 (which appears to be a new update) on his Amazon Fire, but my PC is running 1.16.40.  Whenever I try to join his game I get the message, "Could not connect: Outdated client!".  I can not seem to find a way to "Update" my version (if my version is in fact the one that is outdated.)
In addition, we would LOVE to be able to create a world on my PC that HE will be able to join, but whenever he tries to join my world he gets the error message, "Unable to connect to world"
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

texts: How does recalibration and rank promotion work in Dota 2 Season 4?

texts:
I was about 4,900 mmr in Season 3 in my support MMR but I believe I lost at least 7 games out of 10 and only ended up in 4,700 mmr for Season 4. I was told that you lose -75 for every loss and gain +75 for every win in recalibration, but this doesn't seem to be true. However, I calibrated in Ancient 5 from Divine 4.

Then I decided to play my core recalibrations and ended up winning 9 games out of the 10. Then I jumped from Ancient 5 to Divine 2 (With 15% to the next rank). I was initially around 4,700 or 4,800 but i'm now 5,250 MMR. However, I was only around 5k when I hit Divine 4 last season, i'm wondering why I am only Divine 2 this season--but I would guess it has definitely something to do with the distribution of players and their MMRs. Also I noticed that every win will give me around 20% increase on my progress to the next rank.

So my estimate is that:

Divine III - around 5,350

Divine IV - around 5,450

Divine V - around 5,550

Divine VI - around 5,650

Divine VII - around 5,750

Immortal - 5,850 and above

I have been looking at some data online, but the numbers do not seem accurate to determine what MMR you need to reach each rank, but since the progress % is always about 20% per win, then it should make sense that the MMR required to reach a certain rank should be readily easy to calculate. But since I have only me as a data point, I cannot say if this is true for all.


texts: Minecraft 1.3.1 vanilla server and access rights?

texts:
I am trying to set up a "back to basics" Minecraft server, no plugins, no flying, no nothing.

However, the server I set up seems to prevent modifications to the terrain, unless I add the user(s) to the ops.txt file.

I did the following:

Download a fresh 1.3.1 version of the server executable (for Windows) from minecraft.net
Place it into a directory
Start it
Connect to it from the 1.3.1 vanilla Minecraft client
Try to modify the first block I can find

Breaking down the snow in front of me fails.

On one seed I started in a village, and managed to walk through a house and into a fenced-in garden. After doing that I was unable to enter the house, break down the ground or break down the fence.

Is this related to the function that prevents modifications to the spawn area on the server? Can this be turned off if that is the case?

texts: Problem with Icewind Dale Gold mirrored sprites

texts:
I am currently playing Icewind Dale Gold, an outstanding D&D based dungeon crawler. It works with almost no problems on my Pentium 4 2.93GHz Prescott, 1.5GB RAM DDR2 and Radeon HD4650 1GB PciE, running Windows XP SP3 and DirectX 9.0c.

However, there is only one minor issue that I was not able to fix no matter what - it is the Mirrored Sprites option, accessible from games setup, under Graphics tab. Basically, it makes characters' sprites animation being mirrored, i.e. when character is facing right and hold his shield in his right hands, then after turning and facing left the shield is immediately swapped to his left hand, being a mirror reflection of his previous stance. In the old days it allowed to save some memory and increase game performance. Nowadays I am not able to turn this option off - it is always active.

I noticed this happens in almost every game based on Infinity engine I tried in the past years (Icewind Dale 2, Baldur's Gate Gold). I also used different hardware specs (Radeon 9550 AGP, Pentium 4 2GHz Northwood, Celeron D 3.2GHz, Athlon 2400XP+, DualCore E5200), with no results.

Do you by any chance know if it is a known bug and is there is any solution for this?

Just note I use localized, Polish versions of these games - could this problem be version-specific?

Thank you in advance.

texts: Has Gothic 3 ever become kind of playable?

texts:
I just started playing Gothic again with the intention to play through the whole series in a flow.

I really loved the first 2 (and addon) because of its atmosphere.

I bought the 3rd part 1 year after its release and even a lot additional patches made this unplayable.

The game crashed every here and there. The lovely placed pickups from the previous games looked just like some one placed them with a 20x20 map editor tool.

really: I walked through deserts without any sign of life. And then just to see mirror like symmetric placed objects like trees in a plain so that some of them just almost where completely sunk in a mountain gain, while the others where just flying in the air. I walked along paths and saw wolves dropping from a spawn above my head down onto me.

So my question:

Did they kinda make to fix this

I never really finished playing Gothic 3 since it was disgusting and there was nothing about the atmosphere like in the previous parts.

And if not so, is there some point in the game where the previous named flaws get better? Or are the changes and bug fixes that minor that one will still face such odd things pretty often?

I tried everything you could think of, and nothing worked. I tried using a pipe cleaner to clean under it and it works better, but not fully. Any ideas? I have not had the switch for a year so I could send it in.

texts: How do I specify bags in the management condition interface?

texts:
Having located the magma layer as well as a good source for sand, I'm eager to get glass production up and running, for trade and defense purposes.

In order to better automate things, I set up a glass furnace that doesn't take general orders, but has a specific order to gather sand 10 times whenever there are less than 50 sand-bearing-items available.

However, in order to avoid running completely out of bags I also want to add a conditional not to start the job if there are less than 20 empty bags available, and this is where I run into trouble.

You can specify 'empty items' as a trait, and 'boxes and bags' as a category, but that category includes wooden chests and rock or metal coffers, neither of which are suitable. On the other hand, material doesn't have categories like 'all leather' or 'all yarn' but only specific 'aardvark leather' or 'sheep yarn' or 'ramie cloth'.

This makes the latter test essentially useless since I have a different work order to make sure I always have at least 20 rock coffers available for when I need to create a new bunch of rooms.

Any suggestions?


texts: Are the shrine names supposed to mean something?

texts:
While watching a speedrun, I've come across something weird between versions of Breath of the Wild. Between languages, it seems the shrine names change. Not completely, but to me it is a weird change.

On the left is the GameGrumps playthrough, in English. The first shrine in the game is named 'Oman Au'.

On the right, is a speedrun, using the French version. The first shrine in the game is named 'Ma'Ohno'.

It would be a weird thing to change in localisation, letting me think that Shrine names might mean more than just names.

So is it just a localisation thing, or is there more meaning to the shrine names I'm not seeing?

texts: Can I leave all endless missions, while in a party, just by leaving the squad, and still get all extraction perks, like loot, bonus affinity?

texts:
I saw this answer here which states:

  If you're stuck because you're in a squad where no one wants to extract, you can leave the squad to be put in your own instance, and then leave using the extraction at any time.

Now, this is in response to a question about Plains of Eidolon, but is the above also true for other endless missions?

For instance, when doing defense missions, everybody get to make their own choice every 5 waves, but for instance for survival, at least half the squad have to go to the extraction point to trigger the extraction timer, and this will also pull everybody out of the mission whether they want to leave or not.

But with the above answer, does this mean I can click on my portrait, pick "leave squad", wait for it to reload me into my own instance, and then leave at my own leisure?

I understand I might be an eas(y|ier) prey to all the mobs on the map without my 3 squadmates.

Here's my question in a more direct and clear manner:

If I leave the squad, one one of these endless missions, and then extract, do I get to keep everything I picked up and get all the extraction perks and bonuses, without severely negatively impacting the squadmates?

in other words, If I leave the squad, on one of these endless missions, does it allow me to:

Leave on my own accord, providing extraction is possible at this point (or even just finish the rest of the mission at my own pace)
Leave without bothering the rest of the squad, they can continue to play waves after this
Leave with all loot I've picked up during the mission
Get the bonus XP for finishing the mission?

The reason I'm asking is that for these endless missions I was under the impression that leaving the squad was tantamount to abandoning the mission. Arguably, I can't remember if I've actually tried this.


texts: Is there any way to have a shopkeeper or their friends forgive me?

texts:
I've managed to anger the shopkeeper or his friends in many ways in Spelunky by blowing them up unintentionally or destroying their shop with a boulder.  I've had shopkeepers show up in other levels if I managed to get away, and kill me there as well, so they don't seem to forget. The other shopkeepers also seem to know if you've killed another shopkeeper, and they go after you as well.

Is there any way to get a shopkeeper to forgive you after they call you a terrorist, or are you pretty much out of luck in using the shops after you've killed one?

texts:
I'm not very familiar with 4X gameplay in general, but some aspects of the battles remain quite unclear to me.  The following questions are about manual battles.  Quoting the user's guide:

Battlefield and positioning

  An important element [...] is that they take place directly on the Adventure Map, not on an abstract battlefield.  When you decide to attack an enemy army, you should choose the location of the battle carefully to take advantage of terrain opportunities: Altitude may grant you a bonus, and cliffs can prevent enemy units from reaching you.

How do you choose that location, exactly ?  Should I attack opponents from the side of their tile that will push me on the most valuable direction/area (for instance, west cliffs for my archers) ?  Is it possible to get a preview of what the battle area will be when engaging before actually engaging an enemy ?

Also, it can happen that more than 2 armies get engaged in a battle.  I think it's simply because when the effective battlefield spreads out, more than one army stands on it.  Once again: is it possible to get a preview of this area before engaging ?  Are those extra armies the "reinforcements" mentioned in the guide ?

  Some units (greyed out) are placed in reserve and will enter the battle as reinforcements.

Turns

I was expecting a turn based combat system.  Turns out that it doesn't exactly work that way: once the resolution phase has started, each unit act for more than one turn and will eventually stop after 2 or 3 turns.  Is it normal ?  All the guide says about it is:

  Depending on the game settings, the battle can span several Order and Resolution phases.  Once these phases have completed, the battle ends.

Should I change something somewhere in order to have "normal" one-by-one turn gameplay ?

Ranged attacks

Where can I find the range of my ranged weapons ?  Is it possible to preview it during deployment or order phase ?

texts: So I want to build a map where the blocks in spawn can't be broken but if you place a block you can break that block but you still can't break the default blocks kind of like BedWars on Hypixel. I thought this was a duplicate of the existing ones but it seems like those would make it so that you either cant break blocks you build or even build them in the first place.


texts: Is there any way to make a unit, with a multiple turn move queued, move immediately?

texts:
Is there any way to get a unit to move now, that has been given a multiple-turn move command (i.e. move way over to there)?  (... as opposed to during the end-of-turn processing)

In More Detail:  Sometimes I have a unit that is on some particular hex right now, and will move off it at the end of the turn because it has been instructed to go somewhere, that takes multiple turns... and I want to move another unit onto that tile now.

I do not want to re-issue the move instruction, (a) because that is annoying, and (b) because it is sometimes not apparent where this particular unit is supposed to be going.

texts: Why can't Mephisto drop super rare unique items?

texts:
I want to find very rare unique items like "Griffon's Eye", "Death Fathom", "Crown Of Ages", "Immortal King's Soul Cage", etc.
As far as I understand the drop algorithm in Diablo 2, it basically just depends on the Monster Level that allows the item to have the same item level to match the highest quality level of any unique item (Quality Level 87) and the treasure class.

Since Mephisto is level 87 he should be able to drop anything in the game (especially because he is an Act Boss). But he never drops items like Dimensional Shard → Deaths Fathom, Unearthed Wand → Deaths Web, Diadem → Griffons Eye, etc. Even though he is, as I said, level 87 and could theoretically drop a Sacred Armor [qlvl 85], Diadem [qlvl 85] or an Unearthed Wand [qlvl 86]. So that must mean that those mentioned base items are not in his Treasure Class, and he can't drop those base items.

Is it true Mephisto cannot drop those items?
If so, is there something else at play here besides TCs and Monster Level vs Quality Level?

(I took the mentioned quality levels from this Diablo Wikis page.)

texts: n52te: program a long mouse button press

texts:
I have a Belkin n52te. I'm using the Razor programming software to program it. What I'd like to do is program it to hold down the right mouse button for 5s and then let go. I've tried recording that but it didn't work. I've tried putting a 5000 ms delay between the Button Down and the Button Release event but that also didn't work.

Anyone know how to do this? Anyone know of any good forums to search for this?

Edit: this is for Minecraft. I'd like to make a macro that presses the left mouse button for x number of seconds. Let's say 3. So my macro is:

Left Button Press

3000 ms

Left Button Release

That's exactly what I see on the screen. But that's not what I get when I run the program. I get a single left button press.

The behavior isn't restricted to Minecraft. The same thing happens in Notepad++.

I have been playing FTB for a while now and for some reason I am getting random lightning strikes occurring. There is no storm and the affect does not change when I disable the weather.

I have read up on it and apparently it is due to Thaumcraft and having too much flux in one area (I haven't started on thaumcraft as of yet). I noticed that it said the flux could be reduced by planting silver wood trees. I did this (planted at least 7) and they all grew but unfortunately the lightning is still occurring.

Is this a bug because it is becoming really destructive and laggy with multiple chunks loaded at the same time in the nether and due to quarries. How can I fix this? I have turned off fire spread but I just want to know how to stop the lightning.

Also now that I have planted all these silvewood trees, creepy voices are being played (hopefully through the game). Is this normal?

texts: How to make my trains go through stations

texts:
I have a problematic train line that I had built originally for one to two trains, but now must support five, and I can't take it down and rebuild it for all five because of space constraints.
Originally I had a part of the main path contain a stop for my plastic factory. With trains stopping there for 60+ seconds created lots of clogged-up points. I added a small path around it so that trains could go around it when the station was full. This seemed to work at first, but then I realized that they would pile up at the split between the path with the train stop and the one without as unless the train was set to go to that stop, they would never go down the path with the stop.
Is there any way to make it so that the trains will see the path with the train stop as a viable path instead of just going around and ignoring it?

texts: I have recently acquired the grappling hook in Terraria for iOS. With the touch interface, I cannot seem to figure out how to disengage the hook once I have grappled onto something. What am I missing?


texts: What does a spirit primary type advantage do?

texts:
When introduced to spirits, the game shows the chart below and explains a rock, paper, scissors relationship between non-neutral primary spirit types.

Clearly if I'm challenging a Shield spirit, I should use a Grab spirit, or at least avoid using an Attack spirit, but why?

For example, if I'm challenging a lvl 10k Shield spirit and I've got both a lvl 10k Shield spirit and a lvl 8k Grab spirit, which one is the better choice?


texts: What do you do about running out of ammo in Borderlands?

texts:
While playing Borderlands I have noticed that whenever there is a boss mission you generally have to go through an entire Sahara desert to reach him in his hideout. Along the way you have to kill everyone present. This is insane. The problem:

1) There is no option to buy more ammo once you are near the boss, so either you have to switch to a different gun or come back to start all the way to buy the ammo. Using a different gun isn't an efficient method because I'll be wasting the proficiency gain which I could use on my preferred weapon.

2) When I tried coming back all the way to the beginning, the game respawns all the monsters, so I had to kill them ALL while coming back. The reward chests, however, do not respawn.

3) I purchased ammo and started running towards the boss again but to my surprise the stupid monsters had respawned yet again.

4) This time I kept rushing forward but just near the boss I was surrounded and died. I went back to the starting point again.

I'm finding this extremely frustrating. How do I proceed in this area without resorting to cheats? The mission is Sledge: Battle For Badlands.

Thanks a load in advance.


texts: If I get banned on the PC will I get banned on the Xbox One as well, GTA V

texts: So I'm thinking about buying GTA 5 on the PC and transferring my Xbox One character. However I hear Rockstar bans people on the PC all the time for no reason and if I get banned on the PC I still want to be able to play the character I've invested hundreds of hours in on the Xbox One. So if I somehow get banned on the PC, will my transferred character be banned on the Xbox One as well?


texts: If I go into battle with a character at Max level does their experience get distributed to the rest of the party?

texts: If I have 5 people in my party and gain 5000 experience every character gets 1000 experience. If one of those character is max level do the 4 remaining characters get 1250 experience or do they still only get 1000 experience each and I lose out on the 1000 the maxed character would have gotten?


texts: What are the max amount of items that can be placed in Mario Maker?

texts: What is the maximum amount of enemies, doors, and teleport pipes that you can place in Mario Maker? I have ran into the issue before where I cannot place any more enemies. I have a great idea for a level but I do not want to have to stop short since this will require a lot of time to create. The floor blocks do not seem to have a limit....if there is, please correct me. Take in to consideration the extra screen once you unlock the ability.


texts: I joined a compromised server and now my account is messed up

texts: Okay, so I was playing a game and this guy used cheats. I hate playing a game with cheats so I left but now my name is no longer white: it is now yellow. When I go to the leaderboards during the game, it is huge. Also, when I go to my classes of guns, instead of it showing my primary guns, it shows this weird-looking grenade that looks like it was hand-drawn, and my secondary gun is a pistol. I am really annoyed by this; can anyone tell me how this might be fixed?


texts: In GTA 5 (PC), my framerate will remain at 60 fps with V-Sync, then will dip to about 20-30 fps with no explanation. My GeForce GTX 970, Intel i7-3820, 16 GB of RAM, and a 7200 RPM harddrive can handle the game just fine.

texts: How do I perfom Noob Saibot's finishing move in Mortal Kombat Trilogy?

texts:
I have the Mortal Kombat Trilogy for both PS1 and PC and I have problems doing the finishing moves. According to http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/games/umk3/noobsaibot/, Noob Saibot's second fatality is:

(Close) Hold Block, Down, Down, Up, Run

So I hold down 5 (block) and press (not hold) down, down, up and 2 (run). He only weirdly crouches/holds block and nothing happens. Is there a trick to do it or something? Because from what I've seen in videos, the character doesn't move at all while performing the special.

texts: Why won't my Skyrim load from the main menu?

texts:
I am having problems with not even getting to play the game. I got the game for Christmas and I played it for a while and then stopped. The next time I tried it, I press play and choose my storage device, then two seconds later it freezes completely. But if I play as a guest without saving I can start a new game. My sister is in a different place in the game and the same thing happens to her. My dad hasn't even started and it happens with him if you press load. We all play on different storage devices and I have cleared the cache multiple times. I deleted all older saves and it still does the same thing.

I was really enjoying the game, so what do I do? I play on Xbox 360 with a disk and DLC  with Hearthfire, Dragonborn and Dawnguard

texts: What in the world happened with my cauliflower?

texts:
I woke up one morning expecting some of my cauliflower to be ready to be harvested. I was alarmed when I woke up and saw this:

A giant cauliflower has eaten up the spaces around it.  What happened? I can't seem to harvest it by normal means or by using a scythe.  The Wiki doesn't say anything about this phenomenon on the cauliflower page.  I planted it on soil that was tilled with basic fertilizer if that helps.

I have two Pidgeys. One is CP 303 and costs 2500 stardust to power up, and the other is CP 336 and costs 2200 stardust.

Why does the one with higher CP cost less?
