I'm confused on how exactly is gavelkind succession supposed to work. All I've read (e.g. Crusader Kings 2 Succession Laws – Explained says that the highest titles I have will be split between my heirs. But that's not what I'm seeing.

Currently, I'm the king of Bohemia, Germany, Bavaria, Italy, Sicily, Norway and Lithuania and all of them are Agnatic-Cognatic Gavelkind. I'm also vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor and I have two sons (both are young and neither of them is a bishop). If I make Germany my primary title, the game warns me that I will lose one Duchy and one County (both de facto belong to the Kingdom of Germany) to my second son on succession. If I change my primary title to Italy, the warning goes away.

Because of this, it seems to me the explanations I've read are wrong: According to them, I (as the first son) should keep the primary title (say, King of Germany) and my second son should get at least some of my other kingdoms.

Did I misunderstand the articles I've read? Are they wrong? Or is my game bugged?

texts: Can I use 2 different armor stand positions?

texts:
I've been working on a small "mod" with command blocks in bedrock edition like world edit.

I've set on a method to shorten the /fill command with a tool. When you equip the tool, it places an armor stand, and you place two in the area you want to fill with air. But here's where I'm stuck.

From a command block, I've tried to execute at the location of all armor stands by doing /execute @e[type=armor_stand] ~ ~ ~ fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ in hopes to use both of their locations. I get the error Failed to execute 'fill' as Armor Stand, Armor Stand.

If you have any ideas, go for it!

Thank you!

texts: What determines a Pokemon's Hidden Power type in Pokemon Go?

texts:
Are there any characteristics that determine a Pokemon's Hidden Power type in Pokemon Go, and if so, what are they?

In the mainstream Pokemon games, it was determined by the IVs. However, I suspect that either this is no longer the case, or other factors are in play. A Solosis I had caught had Hidden Power Poison on capture, but it learnt Hidden Power Dark when it evolved into Reuniclus. The IVs were 15 Atk / 12 Def / 12 Sta in both forms, and I did not trade it to reset the IVs.

texts:
I am a wizard in Minetown, and I usually don't make it much farther than this. The one other time that I encountered winter wolf cubs, they swiftly kicked my ass. This time, I teleported using a scroll as soon as I saw them, and ended up in a shop. The shopkeeper is standing in the doorway blocking the wolves, thank you sir!

I don't have any offensive wands, I am not cold resistant, and my power is low. Since I have time, I am preparing for this fight as best as I can: I quaffed a potion of increase level to bring me to level 7, enchanted my dagger to +3 using scrolls, and I will rest. Now I am scheming about clever tricks I can to turn this in my favor.

Will throwing a potion of hallucination at a winter wolf cub make it likely to start attacking the rest of it's pack? If it does attack it's pack, could it's pack turn to fight it, giving me opportunities to attack?

update The shopkeeper walked away from the door! He doesn't even know I'm in here, when I teleported in, I got a message "This shop appears to be abandoned"!

texts: Is it possible to give effects to falling blocks?

texts:
I want to build a "rocket" out of concrete powder. I have a command block that gives a levitation effect to entities within 5 blocks of the command block. This is how I have the rocket set up:
Top layer: 2x2 square of concrete powder.
Layer 0: 2x2 piston door that is sideways.
On the press of a button, the piston door opens, causing the concrete powder to become an entity and fall. The command block activates, giving all entities within 5 blocks of it Levitation 255 for 1 second. However, I only get levitated, and the blocks just fall and plop onto the ground. The concrete powder is in range of the command block, but it won't fly up into the air. Is it possible to add status effects to falling block entities (i.e. sand, gravel, concrete powder, and/or primed TNT)?

texts: Using Apple EarPods (MFI) with Xbox One Headset Adapter

texts:
So I have some Apple EarPods, as well as some other nice MFI (Made For iPhone) headsets that I'd like to use with my Xbox One's headset adapter. Right now, I can get audio just fine, game and voice. But the microphone doesn't work.

From what I've gathered, there's a difference in the connections between different kinds of headsets. There's CTIA, OMTP, and I believe apple uses CTIA (or at least a kind of it). Microsofts support page (http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/connect-compatible-headset) says that they support CTIA, and from the diagrams I've read, it seems that apple uses CTIA...

So what gives? I keep on hearing people say "just buy a new headset," but that doesn't answer the question (and I'd like to keep my headphones). I guess I'm looking for an adapter, but I'm not sure what kind.

texts:
In heroes 7 (I think it was actually introduced in 6... not sure, been a while) you have 1 stat called arcane knowledge.

Its use is pretty straight forward: to learn spells lvl 2 you need 2 arcane, for 3 you need 5 and for 4 you need 8 arcane knowledge.

My question is... after you reached 8 is there any use to lvl it up more? So far I found none but especially on campaign is pretty easy to hit 8 on magic classes (even in multiplayer is rather easy) so maybe I'm missing something.

texts: How am I supposed to combat the increased difficulty of incidents late-game in Fallout Shelter?

texts:
Okay, so this is getting irritating.

Early on in Fallout Shelter, I had the occasional incident from rushing, or just at random - and nine times out of ten I'd handle it without much of a problem. At that point in the game, I had probably half of my dwellers equipped with weapons, and most of them were somewhere just shy of level twenty.

NOW, with a vault at 200 dwellers, everyone equipped with a gun ( almost entirely sawed-off shotguns or better ), and a large number of level fifty dwellers - the incidents are becoming downright absurd.

I just watched five of six dwellers die, with a Mr. Handy assisting them, to an infestation of five roaches.

Now - this is all fine and dandy if you're constantly watching your vault and hitting people with stimpacks as they dwindle, but letting the game run at work and glancing down at my phone every few minutes, this can become a serious problem. One, single-room infestation, turns into five rooms with 90 roaches swarming everything that moves - all because I didn't catch it in time, and my armed, 5-stat, level 50 dwellers couldn't hang...

I'm getting a little frustrated having to revive tens of dwellers twice a day because I looked away too long. What's the deal Bethesda!? Shouldn't I have a LITTLE better chance than that!?

I mean, Deathclaws don't even inflict any casualties anymore, and they don't even clear my first floor - but roaches? A fire? Best break out the stimpacks! Molerats!? Don't get me started! Fifteen shots with the shotgun...

texts: I've run out of stone in Don't starve. What do I do?

texts:
I've tried surviving on the map for as long as I could, I researched a lot of things and I've explored 2 conjoined islands (Very big in size). Both islands did not initially have a rock biome, just a few scattered boulders which I mined really fast, leaving me with about 12 stone, which isn't enough.

Now that I look at the map, there are no other boulders on both islands, even if there are boulders in the unexplored space (A lot of swamps there) it would take me a long time to get there and back to my base.

What do I do in the case where there are no more boulders in my reach? Boulders are an essential material, and they are not farmable. I really don't want to resort to a new world, as I've already spent a long time in this one.

This question has been already asked regarding Season 3, but if I recall correclty,  Riot stated something in the lines of "You can drop tiers in Season 4". So I want to know if this is the case, now that Season 4 has started..?

edit: Since some people obviously don't know that there is a difference between Season 3 (before December 2013) and Season 4 (from Mid January 2014), I want to state this clearly again: I am asking about dropping tiers in Season 4. This is not a duplicate to the same question here, since it was asked by the time of Season 3, which means through patches the system can be (and has) changed. So either the other question question (as well as the answers) has to be updated, or this question is just plain and simple not a duplicate.

texts: Xbox 360 is backwards compatible for Yu-Gi-Oh: Dawn of Destiny, but the game won't start

texts:
Whilst doing some research about backwards compatiblity on the Xbox 360, I found one of my favorite games from the original Xbox, Yu-Gi-Oh The Dawn of Destiny, was backwards compatible. I found a small game shop in town that had this game so I proceeded to buy it.

I inspected the disc before purchasing, there are no noticeable scratches, scuffs, or anything else that would indicate a problem - the disc is very clean, great!

I inserted the game into my Xbox 360 and went to play it but no such luck. Here is the exact error I am getting:

My console is completely up to date
I have plenty of space on my memory cards and hard drive for any save files.

Is there some hardware requirement for backwards compatibility to work correctly? Or is it only certain models of Xbox/hard drives that provide backwards compatibility? I'm about to go all "office space" on my Xbox if I can't figure this out.

I have two cities in a region. One is out of power and all my services have shutdown, and the other city has a coal power plant with a ton of extra power.

I purchased buy from city A to city B, but nothing is happening. When I go to the region view and look at the stats for buying the power. It says Using 0 MW/154.3 MW for $0.

I thought maybe it was a server issue, but it's been like this now for two days.

See image below.

EDIT:

I'm confused. Most of my city is red without power, but the power stats say Needed 42 MW, 106 Capacity. With 64.5 excess

What is going on? My solar power plant says it's shut down because of a lack of workers, but I need power to get workers.

EDIT:

I shutdown both power plants, and now it says -40 deficit but it's still not buying power from the other city.

EDIT:

Great. Now my power plants won't power back up and the entire city is dead. This game sucks.

I have plenty of gold to where I could hit up the blacksmith or the AH.


texts:
I've noticed a stat called Protection in the "Stats changed if equipped" tooltip that comes up when you hover over a piece of gear you aren't wearing

I know it's not just based on Armor value, since I've seen this value higher on pieces of armor that contain lower armor values, and see it on non-armor pieces such as rings and amulets too

I've also seen armor pieces that actually raise my armor when I equip them, but that have a negative Protection value compared to my current equipment.

So what does Protection take into account, and how is it calculated?


texts:
As far as I can tell when you simulate a fight you only earn the reward drops at the end of the fight that you would usually get. This means that the heroes in your current team won't earn xp and so won't continue to level up.

You can set your team fighting and use auto play so the AI plays for you but this probably takes longer than playing yourself and it means the fight is not a guaranteed win like a sim fight.

Is there a way to sim the fight and level the heroes in your team?

iZ3D doesn't seem to support Quake 3, though it says it does... or does it?
Can you spectate on a Quake 3 match using ioquake3?

Is "spectator mode" possible in any way in FIFA 2010?

It's okay if you don't know the answers to all of these questions. Tell me whatever you know. Thanks


texts: Transfer digital game from one account to another on PS4

texts:
I have a PS4 with two accounts, Account 1 and Account 2.
Account 1 had a PS+ subscription of which games were downloaded for free and from both accounts be able to play.
The subscription already ended and the games are locked.
I tried to renew the subscription from account 1 but couldn't due to that account have a different country to the visa card... So I purchased a new subscription from account 2 that does have the same country as the visa card. I can access PS+ and download games and account 1 can play them, but I can't access to the old games that were downloaded from account 1 with the old subscription, they are locked. I already tried changing primary account, renewing licenses and still locked.
The solution seems to be to buy a subscription from account 1 due to the games were purchased from that account and the licenses belong to it, but like I said I can't.

Is there some way to transfer games or licenses from one account to another? The games were free games that PS+ gives monthly.

texts: Foreigner son-in-law went on a killing spree, then formed a militia just to stand around for awhile... did I miss something?

texts:
I'm working through my first, long-term play-through after dozens (or, if I'm being honest, hundreds) of short attempts to figure out the mechanics. I'm finally getting into where some weird stuff is happening and I feel like I missed out on something.

I'm playing as a West African count in Oualata. I married one of my daughters matrilinearly to some young chap out of the Canary Islands and he came down and lived pretty quietly in my court for several years. Then there was an epic 12 month period where he seemed to go berserk.

My wife, the spymaster with an intrigue of 23 scheming at home, was murdered on his orders. No event said so, there was never any warning about it, nothing. Just that sad, red little skull saying she was murdered by him. I tried to lock him up but didn't have a righteous imprisonment (which doesn't really make sense, but whatever) and based on my state intrigue, there was only a 25% chance of getting him. There are plenty of other women in the area and I could use some more prestige boosts from marrying them, and I really didn't want that guy to get away and plot against me from somewhere else, so I married up another spymaster (20 intrigue) in another court, appointed her and set her off scheming.

1 month later, she was dead. Murdered by this same guy. Not so amusing, but hey, more prestige from marriage. No biggie.

Well, I ended up clearing out every spymaster in West Africa. In 6 months, he killed 5 spymasters, all with 20 or greater intrigue. The amusement came back at this point because now nobody in the kingdom had a spymaster with intrigue better than 8, but somehow this dude killed off the best spies in the kingdom. In 6 months!

He laid low for 2-3 months and then I got an event. This guy, his name was Mula, was going to form a militia or something called Mula's Host and he was going to take over the Canary Islands. The only choice was something like "Yeah, okay, you go do that...", which was quite fitting because we're literally in the middle of nowhere and there's absolutely no boats anywhere in the kingdom. So his band of 2000 big, tough baddies stood in Oualata as their numbers dwindled due to supply problems I guess, for 5 years until they were all dead. In the mean time, when I moused over my heirs, it would say "Heir to Mula's Host" rather than Oualata.

So clearly, this dude was up to something all along and didn't want my spymasters to uncover whatever his plot was. It was a pretty busy year for him. This is what he looked like:

What plot event was he working on? Why did he go crazy and kill everybody, just to form a band of angry men who declared war on an island when they didn't have boats and they just stood around until the died in the desert? Why did my heirs show that the title they would get was called Mula's Host rather than Oualata?

As with almost everything that comes up in this game, I feel like I missed out on something here.

Maybe there are also players, who played CoC from the beginning, how has it been there?

texts: Is there a way to tell a citizen where to live?

texts:
One occasionally irritating problem in Tropico 4 (and 3, looking back on it) is that there seems to be no way to control who goes to live in which home; more often than not it's first-come-first serve -- and no matter that the apartment building I just put up right next to the garage by the fisheries is a much nicer place to live, three of the fishermen will stay in the tenement five miles down the road near the city center.

Is there any way to change that short of forcible evictions (causes unhappiness) or dynamiting the tenements?

EDIT Bit late, but came up with a workable method that causes a lot less unhappiness than evictions: Drastically increase the rent in the building you want cleared. Even the people who can afford it will likely abandon it for someplace nicer if they can, and when it's empty, it can be safely dynamited and replaced with a better residential building.

texts: How do I complete the Crispy Critters achievement?

texts:
The Crispy Critters Act III challenge achievement says to "Use a Demon Forge to kill 3 Tormented Stingers at once".

I am assuming that the fire-breathing heads on the sides of the path in the last parts of Act III are Demon Forges.

Tormented Stingers are hard to come by in the last sections of Act III. Their non-achievement worthy cousins, the Stygian crawlers are quite prevalent. I only seem to spot Tormented stingers when they spawn surrounding a Hell Bringer Trap in groups of 6 or rarely from cocoons, 1 at a time.

Kiting these hard-to-find little pests is quite the pain as they pretty much die in one hit and often get too close when I'm stuck in the middle of a swarm of other mobs as I try to get them to what I assume are Demon Forges or get taken out by my follower before I can dismiss. Even when I get them there, they tend to circle around me which is no good as the assumed Demon Forges fire in a straight line with rather narrow spread, meaning that either some of them won't get hit or they won't all die at once.

I've been trying this as a Monk, but I'm considering the Demon Hunter's caltrops, assuming they don't kill the little crawlies. What is an effective strategy to getting this achievement? Are the things I assume to be Demon Forges, actually Demon Forges? Is there a more consistent location where I can get Tormented Stingers to spawn for this achievement? Is there a particular class/skill needed to do this successfully?

texts: I hacked a bunch of peoples' bank accounts, what can I spend the money on?

texts:
So I walked around doing a bunch of side quests for awhile to unlock different perks. While doing so I noticed a bunch of people had bank account info stored on their phones, so being the good opportunist I am, I hacked their phones and stole it and retrieved the money after making a stop at an atm. Now I have several hundred thousand dollars and don't know what to do with the money. I have already collected most of the weapons available, and I mainly only use my silenced pistol anyways, crafting parts don't really cost much and I am constantly refilling them anyways, and who needs to buy a car when everyone just leaves cars all around the city for you to use. Is there anything I can dump this money on such as upgrading stuff, other things to buy, or hiring people to do stuff for me?

TLDR: What can I spend all this money I stole on?

texts: What should I do if a city-state requests my support?

texts:
I'm in a game where Catherine's empire has grown to enormous proportions and started to attack city-states. When she attacked Dublin, which I was befriended with and which I depended on for food at the time, Dublin "requested my assistance." This was a good opportunity to declare war, which I was already preparing for. So I wiped out Catherine's units in and around Dublin. I have not received any thanks for it though, on the contrary, I was accused of trespassing in Dublin and the friendship ended rather soon.

I also remember supporting a city-state with unit gifts in a different game, which had zero effect as well.

What should I do to aid city-states in a war against other civilizations? Do I have to wipe out the entire opposing empire before my help is acknowledged?


texts:
I'm having issues when setting up a "closed (infinite) loop gas pipe" in Oxygen Not Included. Does anyone have a set of reliable instructions for building such a system within the game? (to be used for cooling).

Start with a long a long pipe with a pump at the input and a gas vent at the output.  Pump a bunch of gas through it, then connect the output pipe to the input pipe and disconnect the pump and the vent.  And voila, you have gas which circles infinitely through the pipe without needing to spend any energy pumping it.

Except... not quite.  Sometimes you wind up with each gas "packet" getting briefly stuck somewhere, such that every packet is only moving every other tick instead of every tick.  Sometimes some of your gas packets decide to stop and turn around - in general, the gas is still flowing in a circle, but there are back ups which slow the whole thing to a crawl.

There are lots of tutorials on how to set up the infinite toilet/water seive loop, but none that I could find on this kind of gas loop.  But I've seen it, so I'm pretty sure it can be made to work.

Anyone know how to do this consistently?  Or, can anyone confirm that there's a mechanic (e.g. friction inside pipes) that would prevent this perpetual motion machine from working long term?

texts: How to testfor a player positively even if the player is dead

texts:
I'm working on a map that has four teams red, Blue, Yellow, and Green.
I have this command in a repeating command block /testfor @e[team=Yellow]
I have one of each of these for each team. When a player dies they're still on the team, but when they die the command block comes out negative as if there were no players on that team until they respawn.

To simply say it. When a player dies the command block output is negative until they respawn, but I need it to be positive until they are off the team. And I can't have any other entities on the team or else it screws up my map. I don't believe there is any way to fix it unless I have an entity join the team when they die, and leave when they respawn. But there's no way I know of to do that.

I'm using MC 1.9-pre2

Often after a bout of Skol!-ing, the artifact I receive from tithing lutefisk to the Lutefisk God is a little underwhelming.  I'm wondering what I can do (if anything) to influence the "quality" of the item (as measured in stars, if not actual usefulness).

In particular I'd like to know if the following have any affect on the outcome:

Dungeon level that the statue resides on (probably makes sense, for balance reasons)
Character level
Amount of lutefisk tithed
Anything else (e.g. existing artifacts carried - unlikely I suspect)

texts: Can jungle biomes occur with small custom biome size?

texts:
I wanted a survival world with diverse resources nearby, so I created a custom world with biome size 2. (1 just seems too small.) However, despite trying about a dozen seeds and flying around in custom mode, they seem to be strongly predisposed to taiga, plains, and mountains, with other biomes more rarely, and not a jungle to be found.

My daughter says that it's because the jungle trees are too big for the smaller biome, and that either they are impossible or just very, very rare. Is she right, or have the seeds just been unlucky?

If so, what is the minimum for jungles to occur?

texts:
I have both a Sixaxis DS4, first revision (one that came with the original PS4) and a DS4 V2 (the new one, with a light bar in the Trackpad), which I recently bought due to it being less expensive on Amazon.

The fact is, everywhere online I read that the new gamepad features "USB connection for data" which means that you can play with the cable plugged in the console and not only charge the controller, but also reduce input latency by sending controls via USB directly.

To me, this is confusing though: I could already use the V1 controller with my Raspberry Pi 2 (no Bluetooth radio) using a cable just fine, same goes for my PC with a driver (Bluetooth being turned off) and my phone (by USB OTG adaptor).

Which leads me to the question: what has actually changed for as far as USB is concerned in the new "V2" controller?

texts: How do I get an older Windows 95/98 game to run in Windows 7 64-bit without some colors looking off?

texts:
Recently EA released the first few Command and Conquer games for free on their website. I've downloaded and installed the first one for 64-bit (the download for 64-bit versions of Windows can be found on the installation instructions page). Anyway when I play it it looks horrible.

For some reason I'm getting graphical output errors, mainly just with the FMVs, but there's also some minor ones during actual gameplay. I was wondering how to set it up to look better. I know I've done it in XP before, but I can't remember what I did. It would also be great to be able to do this with any other old games I have (like Battleground Gettysburg).

I have tried:
- Checking the "Run in 256 colors mode" option. It didn't change anything. I think this is because Windows was automatically doing that anyway.
- Running it in XP Compatibility Mode but couldn't get it to run.

I know it would probably help if I had screenshots, but every time I try to make one it only captures the colors that are off, with the rest of the in game screen being black. Thus they don't really help out of context for what the screen looks like.


texts: Can I safely sell everything marked as “Treasure” in Resident Evil Village?

texts:
I’ve collected a few pieces of treasure from my time in RE8. Some of it, like crystal skulls, can obviously be sold to the Duke because it drops from common enemies.
On one corpse I found an item called “Ingrid’s Necklace” which seems it could be used in a puzzle later on. I’ve found other treasures that seem like they could be more than just trinkets, but I haven’t found a clear use for them in there same way that Key Items can be used.
That raises the question? Can I sell these intriguing treasures for Lei and not a risk failing a puzzle? Or should I hold on to them because the Village is a dangerous place and I never know what supplies I’ll need?

texts: Is your ranked MMR separate from your unranked MMR?

texts:
I've googled this question, and there are lots of answers; unfortunately the answers are all conflicting.  Some say:

You only have one MMR, used by both ranked and unranked, but only ranked affects it.
You only have one MMR, used by both ranked and unranked, and both affect it, but you won't lose ladder points with unranked.
Your ranked and unranked MMRs are entirely separate, though if one of your MMRs is not established, the system will use the other MMR to start, but after playing a while they will differ.

Does anyone have an answer, with some sort of proof to back it up, like an official note from Blizzard?

I want the answer to be 3, because I would like to offrace as Protoss.  However, I'm only about silver at protoss, and after facing (and losing to) ten consecutive platinum opponents, it doesn't look like my unranked MMR is going down at all.

texts: Is it possible for Great People to become automated? If so, how do you turn it off?

texts:
My girlfriend was playing Civ V today, and quite enjoying the experience. I mentioned I preferred IV in some ways, and she decided to try it out. She was quite enjoying things at first, but she ended up having an issue where her Great People started disappearing for seemingly no reason.

After a little while, she figured out they weren't disappearing, as such, so much as being automatically consumed - and in different ways, as well. Usually they were added as specialists, but they were also consumed for Golden Ages.

This suggests that the Great People were being automated in some fashion, for some unknown reason. I've never seen this happen in my own games - I never even realized it was possible. How could this happen? Is this a glitch, or some obscure feature or consequence of a feature that hasn't been documented widely? The frustration killed the game for her, so I'd like to figure this out so we could give it another shot.

texts: Is it possible to replicate spawn conditions for wither skeletons?

texts:
As most probably know, in terraria, it is possible to replicate certain spawn conditions artificially in controlled conditions. One example is the meteorite in which having x amount of meteorite ore, meteor heads will spawn. Similarly in minecraft, Iron Golems can be farmed for iron if one were to artifically create a village large enough for them to spawn.

That said, in minecraft, it is stated in the wiki that wither skeletons spawn in nether fortresses. Is it possible to replicate the condition for wither skeletons to spawn just like one would do in terraria or perhaps like the Village Iron Golem farm?


texts: Xbox360's power light turns red and won't display anything

texts:
First when I would go to turn the Xbox on the light was just a single red dot. I couldn't connect the controller, the tray wouldn't open, and nothing was being displayed on the screen. I unplugged everything and in the process noticed the power adapter light wasn't on so I switched out the cord that connects to the outlet with a new one and the adapter was working again, I turned the Xbox on again and this time the light went on green and I could open the disc tray, but the controller and display were still not working properly. The light would then switch back to red after a minute or so. I also tried using another HDMI and monitor to no avail.

Is there still something wrong with the adapter or is my Xbox toast?

texts: How to counter enemy blood mage "deathcloud" ability?

texts:
I'm being seriously frustrated with fighting enemy blood mages in Dragon Age 2 (currently Huon as part of On the Loose quest):

They're casting some kind of death cloud spell, that appear as a red fog circles on the ground and stuns my party members in the area and does a lot of damage - my main char (mage) and Anders and Isabela die almost instantly from it (and die certainly in a few seconds thanks to the stun).

I already had the same problem with another fight and I somehow managed to fight through it by lowering difficulty.

So the question is: how do I avoid this ability / mitigate the damage / counter it?

I'm playing on Hard difficulty.

texts: How can I install mods on the Mac release of Planescape Torment?

texts:
So, GOG has gone to the trouble of releasing Planescape: Torment for OS X thanks to the wonders of WINE. Hooray!

Unfortunately, said release does not include the core mods that are widely regarded as essential for playing the game today.

I happen to agree that at a minimum the widescreen and UI patch, and WeiDU Fixpack mods are essential these days, and am super fond of Unfinished Business and the Tweaks tool as well. Unfortunately, the method for installing all of these requires an executable windows application. Which, of course, means that I can't easily install them under OS X.

Is there any way to manually load/install these modifications, or are there mac versions of the core mods available somewhere?

texts: What's the respawn speed of Lost and Found treasure caches?

texts:
I'm currently looking to yoink a Blade of the Poisoned Mind from one of the several caches for the Lost and Found Achievement. However, I'm shooting in the dark in my camping as I don't know when it'll show up.

The comments on Wowhead are of very little help, with some merely saying that it might have something to do with server restarts, and others discounting that possibility.

What is the actual respawn window for Lost and Found treasures? A couple of hours? Days? Something else?

texts: Skyrim: I can't get Wujeeta to activate the skooma dealer quest

texts: So I wanted to be the thane of Riften because it's my favourite city. So I went to Wujeeta to give her a health potion and to activate the quest so I can become thane. But after I gave her the potion the quest would not show up, I tried waiting an hour (not in Game time) and I checked back no option again. I looked up this issue and some people said in a different forum. Apparently if you clear Cragslaine cavern before you do the quest it can and will bug the quest and it was advised to wait 3 in game days for them to respawn and I did that and they still didn't spawn and they said if you clear out the cavern 3 times then it will be fixed. I have cleared it twice and I am still stuck, I also have tried setstage freeformriften 12 10 and it was still the same it wasn't resolved. I also have 24 mods installed and running on my Skyrim game. Does this mean that I can not buy Honeyside and become the thane of Riften? What can I do, please help.

texts: Car stops in Modern Combat 3 on Android, level 5 after the helo

texts:
In the shoot from the truck level 5, the car stops, and I don't know what to do.

Just after the grenade launcher pops into my hand, blow up the car, and drive over a river.  The driver says something about a helo. Then the car stops.

There is no one I can see to kill, and I don't know how to get out of the car, or get it moving again.

Is it a crashed game?  Am I missing something? What do I do? Or is there a cheat to get to level 6 as I don't like the moving vehicle levels anyway?

texts: Magnet not working in Zero's mission "New Model Army" in GTA: San Andreas

texts: I am playing GTA: San Andreas on Windows 10 environment and have reached the mission "New Model Army". However, I can't complete the mission because the Magnet attached to the Bandit that I control doesn't happen to work.

texts: Is it impossible to have a Skyrim Treasure room?

texts: On Xbox One with Skyrim Special Edition Digital download with no mods ever used. I have played for around 1,500 hours on 2 playthroughs. I have a dream of a glinting gleaming treasure room. My recent attemt to fill my trophy room with gemstones and gold ingots crashed my game. I had about 200 gems and 100 gold ingots. After dropping the diamonds first and then the gold on the other side of the room, turning around and seeing the diamonds freezes the game. Upon testing this myself i was now freezing the game when opening the door to my trophy room. These 300 treasure items are nothing close to the thousands i will be putting in the room so i can swim around like scrooge mcduck. The items i dropped were barely even clutter in the huge room. So im wondering why the game would be treaure oriented but the game crashes when i drop my treasures to look at them and admire them? Im hoping there is something i have overlooked

texts: Is there a difference between Adventure play after pass 2 In Plants vs. Zombies?

texts:
In Plants vs. Zombies, after you pass all levels of Adventure Mode the first time, and start playing them a second time, there are 2 big differences:

The game (crazy dave?) pre-selects 3 plants for you in advance for each level, that you can't change.
There's a Yeti Zombie on a later level (4-10) which nets you a new Achievement when killed.

Are there any differences between the "second pass" playing Adventure mode, and a "third pass" (e.g. playing the levels a 3rd time after you pass them second time around), or any sub-sequent passes?

If it matters, it's a PC version.

texts: How do I ensure all dlc is downloaded for my Xbox 360 game?

texts:
I decided to give Fable 2 another playthrough after years away from it.  I have all of the dlc, including the little stuff.   I installed the game to a memory unit I have plugged into the console because I would rather have it on flash memory than the aging HDD and the DVD drive is now old enough that it makes a lot of noise during play.    I also want to put all of the dlc on the flash disk.   I intend to do the same with Fable 3.

Do I need to trigger individual downloads for each dlc item, and then transfer them to the flash, or will the Microsoft Live servers detect my licenses and download these automatically when I install or play the game?  If they do, will I need to move the downloaded content manually to the flash once this completes?

Update: I chatted with a Microsoft rep via support chat.  The rep indicated that all of the DLC should be available once the game installs.  They also had trouble understanding the difference between loading a game and installing a game and used the terms interchangeably in explanations.  Can anyone with experience clarify whether or not I need to install the DLC components manually?

texts: Do the names of banned RuneScape accounts ever become available for reuse?

texts:
My RuneScape account was banned in September, 2010. A bit over four years later, it still has the same display name. I rather like the display name (it wouldn't be valuable on a secondary market, but it has sentimental value), so I'd like to use it as the name of one of my other accounts, if possible.

According to RuneScape Wiki, you can't change the name of a banned account. Does Jagex ever release the display names of permanently banned accounts, so that they become available for reuse?

I would have thought the name would have been released in the 2014 Character Name Clean-Up, but it wasn't.

To be clear, the name itself was not banned (occasionally, Jagex adds display names, such as those suspected of having been sold for real-world money, to a blacklist).

texts: Best Buildings to Destroy when Rushing Terran?

texts:
When you're rushing a zerg player it's best to take out their Spawning Pool. It takes a long time to rebuild (plus its pretty costly), there's not normally multiples of them, and it's vital to much of the zerg tech tree (coupling this with destroying the Lair or Hive is particularly effective).

When you're rushing a protoss player, it's best to take out pylons powering the production buildings. They're relatively weak and can knock out unit production for a minute, plus it throws off the protoss player's supply. After that the Cybernetic Core is good to knock out the tech-tree.

But what about terran players? Nothing seems particularly vital to a terran player. All of the buildings are redundant, cheap, and easy to replace. Their main tech tree (Barracks -> Factory -> Starport) is all buildings that they tend to make many of - there's no equivalent to the Spawning Pool or the Cybernetic Core where taking out a single building throws off the entire tech tree. You could destroy the Supply Depots to have a bit of an impact on unit production, but they don't give as much supply as Pylons, and there's no other benefit like knocking out a power grid as when hitting a Pylon. Add-ons are quickly and cheaply replaced.

So, what's the best building to hit when you're attacking a terran player (I'm specifically wondering early game, but later game information is good to know, too. Also, if anyone has better buildings to hit when you're hitting a zerg or protoss base than what I suggest in this question, do share.)

texts: How to tank (get threat) as a low level paladin in Neverwinter?

texts:
I'm running the level 12 dungeon as a level 19 paladin in Neverwinter. From the wiki entry on threat in Neverwinter I understand there is such a notion. When I queue for the dungeon it even specifically asks for a tank, a healer, and 3 dps.

However, none of my abilities say anything about threat, it seems. I have a hard time keeping mobs on me in the dungeon. I feel like I'm missing something: a stance of some sort, abilities, items... anything.

Google only leads to high/max level tanking guides, nothing aimed at beginners with low level characters.

Here's my current character sheet:

And the way I've laid out the abilities:

Is there anything I can do to generate more threat as a paladin "tank", especially in dungeons? Or do I have to wait until much higher level, and do the roles not mean much at early levels?


texts: Is there a time limit for the "Create your coterie" quest?

texts:
In the *Vampire the Masquerade: Coteries of New York" one of the first, very broad quests is to create your own coterie (a group of vampires working together). This in practice gives you a task to befriend 4 other vampires, each of them having their own tasks.
But each night, if you are lucky, you can at best do two visits. And on top of that, there are other activities that you are forced to pursue, so while I am on the 10th night, I haven't even spoken with two of the would-be "allies" and I have other side quest showing up (get rid of the reporter, investigate the cathedral etc).
So is there a time limit on this "create your coterie" quest?


texts: How to get player with highest, second highest, etc. score?

I tried at first to teleport the player somewhere if they had completed 20 tasks, somewhere else for 15 and 10. But there may be 3 players that have done 10, 11 and 12 tasks, in that case they would all go into the third room, but I need them to get teleported to different places.

texts: What are the differences in targets, and when should I switch to one?

texts:
So I get the 4 options for target selection are:

Attackers
Badges
Randoms
K.O.s

What I don't understand is the pros/cons for selecting each one, and what situations would make each one useful.  Things like Badges and K.O. makes no sense to start off with because nobody starts off with badges, and nobody is going to start off near death unless they are purposely trying to lose (by hard dropping int he same position). I've tried the strategy then of just sticking with Attackers, but then I all of sudden get wave after wave of garbage late into the game.

So it begs the question -- what are the differences in target choices, and how can I use that to my advantage to become a Tetris 99 champion?


texts: Do review copies of Star Wars Battlefront II receive special crates with better items?

texts:
In their review of the 2017 Star Wars: Battlefront II, Ars Technica noted that their review copy came with special crates with remarkably good items.

  A few days later, I was greeted with this surprise collection of unlocks, as my review copy apparently came with a bunch of loot boxes [crates]. And these loot boxes were waaaay better than any I'd bought with credits.

This seems a bit suspicious to me, and I’m wondering if maybe EA is giving reviewers more powerful stuff in the hopes they will write a more positive review. Do review copies of Star Wars Battlefront II receive special crates with better items that normal copies of the game don’t receive? Or do all copies of the game receive these improved crates after playing for some time?


texts: Placing two different maps on item frames next to each other causes both of them to show the same map

texts:
I am having an issue with maps in item frames in the xbox one version, but I cannot seem to find anyone with the same issue posted online.

If I put up an item frame, then put in a map, all is good. But if I put up a second frame beside it, and put a different map into it, both maps change to look like the new one. If I delete one, the other returns to normal. The same happens if I put up 4 different maps, they all become the most recent one until they are removed.

In Hyrule Warriors, 2-player mode was unavailable in Story Mode, but it was available in all Adventure Mode maps. All I had to do was push + on the second player's controller during the battle info screen. In Fire Emblem Warriors, however this doesn't seem to be the case.

Once I got to Chapter 3, an icon popped up in the top-right part of the screen that said "P2 Can Join" which was refreshing to see in the main mode.  However, pressing + or pushing in the left stick on the second controller didn't change anything. None of the buttons on P2 activated co-op!

texts:
I'm in a single-player world on my laptop. Here are the settings of the world:

Game Mode (Survival)
Difficulty Level (Normal)
Cheats (Off)

So, it's nighttime and I go out to kill mobs, but I notice that there's this one Zombie that doesn't attack me. I kill all the mobs around it, and this lone Zombie stands there just staring at me. I'm thinking, "Oh, maybe it didn't notice me or something," so I prance over to him and smack him with my fist. The Zombie bounces back hurt, but does not move or make any motion to attack me. I repeat this action again and again, until the poor Zombie falls over red and I get a few orbs of XP.

  Is this just a glitchy mob? Or is there something wrong with my game?

I would appreciate a complete and truthful answer. Thank you for taking your time to read my post.

I have heard rumors online that there are other factors to happiness. one of the most believable ones was that the more decorations you have the happier people are. some of the others were a little bit off, like some how if you have a lot of TVs happiness will glitch and start decreasing. I head one person saying that if a synth infiltrates your settlement they can start to decrease your happiness. Do these things actually affect your settlement happiness? If so how big is the impact? What are the other factors that will affect it?


texts: What are the differences between the AK47 and the M4A1?

texts: What's the maximum height mobs can fall from without dying?

texts:
The question stands for itself. I'm especially interested in skeletons, but I like to keep the topic general.

I something to get skeletons from a monster spawner go up and fall, but they still need a few hits to die, so I would like to know how high I need to let them fall so that they would only need one more hit.

texts: Can I smoke and drink myself to perfect health?

texts: Cigarettes give me salt at the expense of health. Booze gives me health at the expense of salt. Do these effects balance out, or is there a net positive effect? In other words, can I sustain myself on cigarettes and alcohol and (apart from the last debuff) maintain maximum health and salt?


texts: How long after accepting tribute can I attack an enemy civ?

texts:
I entered diplomatic relations with the English and demanded they provide tribute. It was easy, I have a pretty tight grip on the world, I just happened to be a number of turns away from being near their home to take it over.

But now I want to attack them and it says my reputation would be damaged if I attack them so soon. Not that I'm too worried about my reputation, but I might as well keep it if I can.

How long do I have to wait after accepting tribute until I can attack these fools who dared to settle in my world without sacrificing my spotless reputation?


texts: What's the best strategy for defeating Geth?

texts:
It's come to my attention that Quarian Infiltrators kind of own Geth thanks to Sabotage. However I can't always play as a Quarian Infiltrator.

What's the best way to approach encounters with Geth in general? How can I make effective use of different class skills against Geth?


texts:
There's this rare tank in the game, T95/FV4201 Chieftain, which I often hear of as a "overpowered reward tank". However, many people including me don't really know how this tank (and other similar reward tanks) are earned.

The little information that I know so far is that it's a reward for playing Clan wars, and is awarded only to the most exceptional players. So even though I probably won't be picking it up, lots of players don't know what they have to do to get this tank, as it isn't mentioned on the Wargaming wiki or forums.
