texts: PC - Sleeping Dogs: (Definitive Edition) Radio Fix

texts:
Hey guys I recently bought Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition on PC through Steam as it was on sale. I've played the normal edition when it was released and one of the good parts of the game was the car radio.

Right now I am having problems with the car radio volume. For some odd reason the car radio volume always resets back to 0 when I change it to 10. It's really boring to drive in the game without my favorite radio station playing. Is there a fix for the problem I am having?

texts: Can I play any Quake 1 mods without original game?

texts:
I've found quite a lot "mods" on http://quaddicted.com, and I've tried some open-source Quake engines (QuakeSpasm, DirectQ), but they all seem to complain in this way or other, that I haven't got the original game contents.

Is it possible to play any quality, free content with some of the free Quake 1 engines, without the original game?

EDIT:
Trying to clarify: initially, I was left with an impression that some of the mods are actually "total conversions" (e.g. from Quoth description: "The intention is to provide quality custom content for Q1 mappers and players in a single pak file."), but now from the partial answers below, I'm starting to believe that it's not so, and they all (?) still expect some of the original Quake contents present?

That said, my overall intent in the question remains the same, but I'll try to reformulate it in other words, then. So:

Is there any:

free, quality (although that's subjective, so can be skipped), full replacement ("total conversion"?) of contents for Quake 1 engine, fully independent from original paks/wads;
plus a free engine for running it, that won't try to detect & complain that I don't have "a registered version of Quake 1"?

As a runner-up question, could I somehow (and if yes, then how?) detect the full list of missing assets for some given mod, and maybe try to then build some substitutes by myself, to complete the picture?

Thanks!


texts:
I know Feltrite is used to upgrade your weapons and skills. However, with the ease that it can be acquired with it is not difficult to fully upgrade those skill trees and still have thousands of Feltrite Crystals left over.

Other than personal upgrades, can Feltrite Crystals be traded or consumed for any other purpose? They're used for healing, but as far as I can tell there isn't any use for the currency once you've upgraded your character.

texts: Have RCT3 retail on my PC, bought RCT3: Platinum from Steam. How should I set up?

texts:
I've had a retail copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 since it first came out, which was several years ago. It's a great game. I don't play it as regularly as other games, but I still love it.

The other day there was a Steam Daily Deal on RCT3: Platinum (RCT3 + Soaked! + Wild!). I went ahead and grabbed a copy because I don't have the expansions, there was no way to purchase each individual expansion via Steam, and 10 bucks seemed a good deal in my book anyway. Also, I like the Steam platform.

My save games and other data are probably going to be compatible two expansions up, so I'm not worried about those, but what do I do with my existing RCT3 installation itself? Do I need to get rid of that first before having Steam install RCT3: Platinum?

texts: Why didn't the Countermeasure nullify the Hammer of Dawn Satellite Array?

texts:
This question actually stems from Gears 4 onwards...

When Adam Fenix fired the Countermeasure to end the Locust War, it completely destroyed the Lambent, as well as putting the Locust into a state of deep sleep (almost like hibernation).

IIRC, the Hammer of Dawn is an Imulsion based laser weapon, with Imulsion used as the primary source for it's offensive capabilities.

Building on this, since the Countermeasure destroyed all Imulsion on Sera, why didn't it nullify the Hammer of Dawn Network by destroying the Imulsion held in the Satellite's reserves?

texts: How to predict what will damage or heal an opponent?

texts:
On several occasions our actions healed our enemies, where there was no apparent clue that this would happen. Surely there is such a clue, and we just don't see it. I'm here to ask if anyone can enlighten us.

How can you tell if your action will heal instead of hurt the opponent?

Here's an example situation that highly confused me. We got into a fight with a Goblin named Kadraskaz, and all of the following seemed to heal him:

Pyrokenetics spells such as Burning Blaze (Fire);
Geomancy spells such as Boulder Bash (Earth) and Magical Poison Arrow (Poison);
Aerotheurgy spells such as Headvice (Air);
Hitting him with a staff that does Water damage;
The Earth-damage from a Piercing weapon (the piercing damage was normal);

This was the enemy's status at the time:

The fact that I started my question saying we had "no clue" that the enemy would be healed was because I figured that "Resistance" would worst-case reduce damage to zero; but perhaps  "Resistance" from a certain point (100?) onward should be interpreted as "Will actually heal the guy"? In my example above that would mean only physical damage was useful, right?

texts:
I'm at a point in the game where I'm stuck. I keep getting killed by a spike trap.

The game game me some information earlier on how to block it, but the information doesn't come again. I might have read it wrong. If I remember correctly, we're supposed to wait for the color to change, then hit the button corresponding to the color.

The spike trap flashes yellow, so I believe I'm supposed to press the right mouse button (shield action).

I tried waiting for the color to change to yellow and then hitting the button. I still got killed.

I tried spamming the right mouse button the moment the spike trap starts moving (before it turns yellow) right until it hits me. I still got killed.

I tried pressing and holding the right mouse button. I still got killed.

How do I overcome this spike trap? I died 30 times to it already, so I find it hard to believe its just bad timing on my part.

texts: What's the most efficient way to acquire Dark Oak Saplings?

texts:
I need several stacks of dark oak saplings.

By efficient, I'm interested in minimizing game time.  I have tons of resources, so throw any resources you can think of at the answer if it will help...

I have a dark oak farm, but I get about 5 saplings / tree.  Since you need 4 to grow a tree, that doesn't help much.  I have not found any AFK or semi-automated harvesting mechanisms, but those are on the table.  Aside from going into roofed forests, and clearing it out, is there any other way to acquire this at a faster rate?
Fortune enchantments appear to be unhelpful.

Obvious ways to speed things up are:

Efficiency V tools
Potions of Swiftness / Beacons of haste

But those only help a bit.  Preferred solutions are AFK.  But anything that I can use to reduce my time at the keyboard would be good...

Thoughts?

texts: Is there a limit to the number of XBox 360's you can connect using system link?

Last time I did this we had 4 x boxes connected ups with 12 players (One screen was too small to play with 4 players on it) I know that Halo only lets you play with 16 players locally, I was wondering if that was due to a 4 XBox Limitation.

texts: How do I know which fairy food I've collected?

texts:
According to some discussions online, as well as my own observations, fairy food needs to be "unlocked" in certain Adventure Mode missions where fairy food is listed as a collectable treasure. After being found and collected at least once, that type of food has a chance to drop from any defeated opponent.

However, unlike everything else that you can collect in Adventure Mode, the checkmark on fairy food disappears after a while. I assume this is because unlike most collectables, it can be found in the same spot over and over again. The problem is that this also makes it look like it hasn't been collected at all.

Is there any way to tell if a food item in a certain mission has been collected before, or if it's something new that has yet to be unlocked?

texts: What will I miss out on if I play Diablo 3 without Reaper of Souls?

texts:
I own the base game of Diablo 3.  I didn't really like the "post-Inferno" content of the game, so I stopped playing shortly after I curb-stomped the final boss for the n-th time.

I understand now that a lot of things have changed in the base game.  There's also an expansion.  I don't plan to purchase the expansion, but some of these changes sound like they could make the game more fun for me.

I can guess that probably the new character and act are expansion-only content.  I know I'm probably "doing it wrong", but if I go back and play now, what else will I be missing out on if I don't have the expansion?

Okay, I finally got my first 3.5 Million Euro in the game after starting as bankrupt assasin.
Now I want to invest them wisely.

Mosquito Rocket Factory 603.000€
3x Complex Parts 780.000€
Renting a TL Peanuts
Total: 2.538.000€

So far so good, can buy a trader afterwards and still have some money left.
I planned on building it in "Line of Energy" (hopefully I translated it correctly), so I can add a E-Cell Factory later since it is 2.6 Million for that one alone.

Can anyone recommend that approach?

How far/close from/to each other do I have to build the factories in order to make them a complex?

Thanks for any input.

  edit:

I did it how I wrote it here, thanks for all help.
As reference for other people that seek help:
The complex ran fine with 2 Commercial Agents from the Bonus Package. That is Trade Command Software Mk2. I was continuing Missions and earning from that factory. As soon as I could, I added a Solar Power Plant. From that date on, the complex ran fine with 1 Commercial Agent, while the AI brought me crystals and ore +. Turning 1 off is recommended, since it costs you less then.
After that, I added even more and my complex consists now of the following:

4x Ranch M
1x Cahoona Press M
1x Cahoona Press L
1x Solar Power Plant
3x Mosquito Factory
2x Shied Factory 1MJ

Works quite well :).

I suspect that it is caused by the server I usually play on because this only happens when I am playing on that server.

Why is this happening? What does these lines mean? Is there any way that I can do to fix it?

texts:
I thought of a situation that I'm not clear of for the mastery pages in League of Legends.

I have multiple mastery pages, for different types of champs (one for tanks, one for mages, one for support, etc. etc.).

But what I've noticed is depending on which champion I use of a certain type (one mage vs. another, etc) I may use different summoner spells, which means I occasionally might want to swap 1 mastery point in favor of a mastery supporting my summoner skill(s).  It doesn't seem worth having a whole separate page based on each setup of summoner skills, especially since I then have to remember which one is "Mastery Page 4", for instance.

You can edit your mastery pages once you're at the champion select screen, however.  But in most cases I don't want to make permanent changes and save them, because I prefer the original page.  Is there a way to change your mastery page for the CURRENT MATCH, such that it resets to the original on subsequent matches?


texts: What is the optimal approach to hacking?

texts:
Success at the hacking minigame in EVE is mostly a stat check - if you've brought enough virus strength and coherence for the particular difficulty level, you get the loot 90% of the time, a bit less and you lose it half the time, farther and you'll rarely open anything.

There is a bit of strategy, which seems be limited to near - absolute rules learned very early on: prime examples being "kill buffing nodes immediately", "open edge nodes first", "don't use data caches unless you're out of options". I've been exploring in sovnull for a while, and I think I'm seeing some patterns to how nodes spawn relative to each other or the terrain - for example the system core is almost always in an edge node. However, I'm doubtful that most of those patterns really exist, and I've struggled to develop any strategy beyond the obvious things I've discovered in my first attempts. Is there any  harder-to-see algorithm to approach the minigame with, or is it simply something that's easy to master and without any hidden complexity to it?

With the 12xp boost i leveled up a Operative with the idea to make this a pvp character.

I have played quite a few AC already but never Ops or scoundrel, i'm not entirely sure what the key abilities are and in what order they are best executed.

So in key essence i am looking for the simple rotation.

Attack x
Stun with attack Y
Attack Z on proc

texts: Can Pokémon Home be used to transfer the Mew into a new game of Let's Go?

texts:
When Pokémon Let's Go! Pikachu/Eevee was released, a special edition included the Pokéball controller. This controller contained a Mew, which could be transferred to the game.

Once the Mew was transferred to a game, it was no longer in the controller and starting a new game meant losing the Mew.

Now that Pokémon Home has been released, does that still hold true? Or would it be possible to start a new game and keep the Mew by doing the below?

Transfer the Mew from Let's Go! to Home
Start a new game on Let's Go!
Transfer the Mew back into the new game of Let's Go!

texts: How to pull out Pikachu's D-tilt into jab lock consistently?

texts:
I've been reading and watching how to jab lock with pikachu. I'm especially interested with the D-tilt into jab lock but I'm not able to pull it out consistently.

The problem I have is that after the D-tilt, and the enemy failing the tech, I need to run to get in jab range. When I stop running the stopping animation prevents me from using my jab in time so I end up using the dash atack mostly.

Here's a thread specifically talking about pikachu's jab lock options but they are obviating the point I'm struggling with (the same happens with all tutorials about it, which makes me think I'm just messing up the timing or some basic stuff I overlooked).

Is there any way to avoid stopping animation? Which is the right input sequence to pull out this jab lock consistently (from the D-tilt to the jab)?

texts: Are there additional rewards for finishing missions with 3 gold stars?

texts:
In Mission Control: Nanomech it appears that as long as you finish a mission without yourself or Titan falling then you are able to continue to the next mission, and so far every completed mission has awarded me 6 tech points to upgrade myself plus a static bonus to me or my robots, no matter how good or bad my performance was in the mission.

texts:
I ran into an interesting problem while trying to figure out the average time a hero would spend stunned if they were attacked continuously with a bash item or ability.

For example, if I was playing Slardar, and had a 25% chance bash for 1 second, and could attack twice a second, then what percentage of time can I expect my opponent to be bashed for? I want to know what the increments are, so that I can figure out when it's worth it to level that skill.

I came up with the following state diagram to help me through it. The states represent a half-second period after each attack.

Note that new stuns will refresh old ones (not stack). For example:

  ACTIVE... MISS
=ACTIVE... HIT
=STUNNED (for this round and next)... HIT
=STUNNED (for this round and next)... MISS
=RECOVERING (for this round)... HIT
=STUNNED (for this round and next)... MISS
=RECOVERING (for this round)... MISS
=ACTIVE...

Is there a formula which would fit any number of seconds, and any percent chance of stunning?

texts: Does targeting the bridge and engines of capital ships do anything?

texts:
In the space missions, some of the targetable points on the capital ships (destroyers and frigates) seem to include the bridge and other points on the hull that are shielded (blue when hit by blasters).  Likewise, on the bottom of the space-station there is also a targetable point.

Is there any point to shooting these?  Does it disable the ship any more than by just killing turrets?  Some of them (the bridge and bottom of the station at least) seem nearly indestructible, as I can throw perhaps a dozen missiles (not enough?) at them and nothing happens.

Addition: As there seem to be hidden bonus missions, what are they and what do you need to destroy?  Do all of these "high-value" targets give their own bonus?  Just one per mission?

texts:
been playing around with redstone again until i discovered this strange beviour:

I used to droppers on top of each other and a chest on top of that to transport some items from the bottom dropper to the chest on top. The bottom dropper has a comparator attached to it doing all the logic for the elevator. The Redstone looks like this:

[D][C][R]
[R][E][E]
[R][R][R]

D = Dropper
C = Comparator
R = Redstone
E = Repeater

It is the most simple possible item elevator. The Redstone shown above powers BOTH droppers which are on top of each other and thus makes it possible to transport all items vertically since you can stack this thing endlessly.

Now to my question:
When the Comparators are on the North side of the Droppstower it doesn't fully work, when they are attached to the South side it does work as intented.

What do i mean by saying "It doesn't fully work"? Once all items are done being transported and the redstone mechanism stopped because no items are left in the bottom Dropper, there is one item left in the top dropper while N-1 items are in the chest. - On the other side when puting the comparator on the South side, all items are transported to the top - not one getting stuck at the end of the top dropper.

Is this a bug? Why does this happen?

Thanks a lot! :-)

texts: Which support conversations are missable?

texts:
In my first playthrough of Fire Emblem Three Houses, I learned that not only support conversations can be prevented due to the story not progressing far enough, but can also be locked out for progressing the story too far. Presumably, this is due to support conversations no longer making sense after certain story events take place, and are met with a "you've missed your opportunity to deepen this bond" message in the support menu.

With subsequent playthroughs in mind, that leads me to a couple of questions...

Is there a list of characters & supports that are missable due to story progression (with spoilers in mind, it'd be preferable for listing the chapter number, not the story event, where the support gets locked out)?
Does the house/story path you chose matter in determining if/when a support becomes missable? Are there supports that are missable only for a specific house?


texts: Fallout: NV stutters even though FPS is high

texts:
I'm playing Fallout: New Vegas on a decent machine. The game normally runs with 70-90 FPS on highest settings when not using vsync. But I hate playing without vsync because the video tearing is unbearable, so I enabled it. Afterwards, the FPS stabilized at 60, but the game stutters. This is especially noticeable when moving sideways. The only solution I found so far is setting the following option in fallout.ini:

iFPSClamp=60

With this setting the game is absolutely smooth as long as the FPS does not drop below 60. But as soon as it drops to a FPS like 50 the game runs in slow motion, which is also not acceptable. Another problem is that this also happens on the lowest video settings. Some regions in the game are producing significant FPS drops which seem to be unrelated to the video settings.

So these are my current options:

Enable vsync and iFPSClamp: No screen-tearing and smooth game play but slow-motion in some areas.
Enable vsync without iFPSClamp: No screen-tearing but game stutters even when FPS is high.
Disable vsync and enable iFPSClamp: Screen-Tearing and game play is too fast (When FPS is the double of the iFPSClamp value then game play is twice as fast).
Disable vsync and disable iFPSClamp: Screen-Tearing.

So with these two settings, no option is acceptable. Are there more known configuration settings I could try out to get a smooth and fast game play?

My system: Asus P7P55D Pro, Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM, NVidia 285 GTX, Windows 7 64 bit.

I had the same problems with Fallout 3 on an older machine: Some Intel board (Can't remember the model), Quadcore CPU with 2.4 GHz, NVidia 8800 GTX, Windows XP 32 bit.

texts: Minecraft 1.12 reliably detect player-player interaction

texts:
I am making this command block mini-game which requires two players to "interact" with each other. With interacting, I mean: two players meet each other, initiate the interaction, then command blocks compare a certain score of both players. If the score of player 1 is higher than player 2, then a command is executed at player 2 and vice versa. If the scores are equal, then a command is executed at both the players.

I know how to compare scores and how to use these to initiate commands, but I get stuck on the initiation of the interaction. I need a reliable way to initiate interaction between two players.

The first thing I tried was letting player 1 slap player 2 and then detect this by keeping a score for damage dealt and damaged taken. Then I can find an interaction by checking these scores. This is not reliable though, because:

If two interactions take place at the same time, the scoreboard doesn't show which player got slapped by which player and it might compare the wrong players. I thought to fix this by checking for the closest player that got slapped, but if another player stands closer than the player that I slapped, then the game picks the wrong pair.
The scoreboard doesn't differentiate between damage types. If somebody happens to fall next to me at the moment I try to slap somebody else, the game will choose the wrong player to interact with.

I thought I could just check for two players that are close together, but I cannot check for a distance between players lower than 1, which makes this method counter-intuitive, since you might interact with somebody by accident.

Perhaps I should check if a player holds a certain item and then perform the check that I described in the previous paragraph, but it's very easy to just leave the item in your hand and then the counter-intuitivity kicks in again.

I want to avoid long distance interactions, like shooting somebody with a bow or something.
Basically I want interaction similar to trading with a villager. You click on a player and then the interaction with that specific player takes place.
Note that the method must be easy expandable and should theoretically work for an infinite amount of interactions at the same time. This mini-game is played with potentially a lot of players at once, who can all have interactions with each other.

How can I make a reliable and intuitive player-player interaction with command blocks?

EDIT:

A player might not want to have interaction and will therefore try to flee. The commands should take that into consideration. Thanks @Fabian to point this out.


texts: Can I use my Nintendo eShop balance to buy a present for a friend?

texts:
I've got a balance in my Nintendo eShop that I want to use to buy a game for a friend.  I've been searching for a way to do it when I found this Reddit post from 2015 that pointed to this Nintendo Support page.  The support page appears to no longer exist.

Is there some way to purchase Nintendo eShop games and gift them to a different user?


texts: I joined a friend's realm and spent a huge amount of time creating, mining, etc and now he tells me the world will be gone as he is updating to the new realm. I was shocked. I asked how I would keep my stuff and he said there is no way. He says it starts over from scratch and this is how he likes it. He is correct?  He said he would have to hire someone to move my stuff and he will not do that. Really?  Since I am just a player in his realm, I have no choice?  Can I somehow take my stuff and move to someone else's realm or another version?  He is on xbox and I am on PC if that matters. He says it is not java but is 1.16 version.   :(

texts:
While browsing some questions here about the max level, I started to wonder if its possible to play the 2nd DLC without owing the 1st.

The reason for my question is the level cap, which was 40 in the main game and has been increased to 45 with the first DLC. The 2nd DLC then increased it to 55. The area for the 2nd DLC is from level 45 to 55. Theoretically it is possible to kill the enemys there with only level 40.

Yet I am not sure if the game allows it. So is it possible to play the 2nd DLC without owning the 1st?


texts: Does Speed-Gro fertilizer affect the growth of repeating crops?

texts:
Speed-Gro fertilizer increases the growth rate of crops by 10%, while the Deluxe version increases growth rate by 25%.

My question is, does the fertilizer also increase the rate at which repeating crops grow (i.e. the crops that grow after the 1st set is harvested)?

By repeating crops, I mean crops like corn, blueberries, cranberries, etc.

So, for example, blueberries normally take 13 days to fully mature, but after 13 days, they continue to grow new berries every 4 days. Will Deluxe Speed-Gro fertilizer reduce the repeat growth rate to 3 days (75% of 4)?

texts: Correlation between Rushing and Time Remaining on a Task?

texts:
I realize that this might not be an easy question to answer, but I am curious if anyone else has thought about the relationship between time remaining on a task and obtaining a "successful" result from rushing.

Programing-wise, it makes the most sense to me that the probability of an incident rate (e.g., 30%) would be factored into the amount of time remaining somehow (so rushing a task that has 10 seconds left on it should be less likely to fail than rushing a task that has 10 minutes remaining). For example, it might be that each second has a 30% chance of failure, and the game does X tests to see if it fails (where X might be the number of seconds remaining).  This would mean that more seconds remaining would lead to more tests, which would mean that more time remaining would be associated with more failures.  This is kind of implied by the "fast-forwarding" animation in the game.

However, it also might be the case that when you click "rush", it simply determines the success/fail of the rush based upon the success rate percentage in terms of one evaluation at that percent - so it doesn't matter how much time is remaining when you rush.  If you rush at 10 seconds or 10 minutes, in both cases it is simply the 30/100 chance of failing.

As mentioned below, there are factors we know affect success: SPECIAL levels, especially Luck, and previous attempts at rushing (with both successes and failures increasing the likelihood of failure).

So, my underlying question is: does amount of time remaining on a task affect the probability of successfully rushing?


texts: How can Voldo safely get into his mantis stance with his katars towards the enemy?

texts:
In previous games, there was a distinction between 2B+K and 3B+K. They would both go into the mantis stance, but the first variant would have katars away from the enemy, and the second would have katars towards the enemy. Now, it seems the only way to get into the mantis stance with the katars towards the enemy is to roll around on the ground like a lunatic or to start in blind stance.

Since the mantis stance is quite a bit more useful with katars towards the enemy, how can I reliably get into this position?


texts: How can I identify all players within a given radius of a player?

texts:
Version 1.13

I'm creating a spell book, and have two self heal spells that are working fine, but I'm hitting a wall trying to make a group heal.

The working spell Heal 1 is a stack of six command blocks, always active, first on repeat, all others on chain. I have a scoreboard trigger for spellHeal1, and a spell book that activates the trigger when a player clicks the spell name. This is all working currently.

Command blocks:

1: execute as @a[level=1..,scores={spellHeal1=1}] run scoreboard players set @s spellHeal1 2
2: scoreboard players set @a[scores={spellHeal1=1}] spellHeal1 0
3: xp add @a[scores={spellHeal1=2}] -7 points
4: effect give @a[scores={spellHeal1=2}] minecraft:instant_health
5: scoreboard players set @a[scores={spellHeal1=2}] spellHeal1 0
6: scoreboard players enable @a spellHeal1

For the group heal, blocks 1-3 will still work for identifying the player casting the spell, resetting it for anyone that didn't have enough XP, and subtracting XP for successful casters. Blocks 5 and 6 will work for resetting the spell trigger for everyone every cycle.

I need to replace block 4 with something that will give the effect to all players within a 10 block radius of the players with spellHeal1=2 (i.e. the casters). I'm thinking it'll be something along the lines of creating an invisible entity at player location, or maybe a falling_block, and then giving the effect within a radius of that, but I'm hitting a mental block here. I've never used either of those things, just played with them a bit following tutorials. I haven't fully wrapped my head around properly implementing them.

Any ideas?


texts:
How exactly does a clan get XP? From what I've read it is only awarded through participation in war. I don't understand the comment "The stronger target is, the more XP the Clan will receive" so does it mean if a player attacks a much weaker base they will get 0 stars or 1 stars or what? In such a case would it matter if they win with 1 star or 3? Does this mean, you get more XP for attacking a much stronger base and getting at least 1 star? I ask because this would be a good strategy provided that the war isn't close.

I'm thinking of strategies to make best use of of the 3x XP event that's coming up and want to make sure I understand how the XP system works. So far all I can think of is just make wars larger. (btw my clan sucks at war and almost always looses, due to individual player's poor attack strategy).

texts:
I found this reddit thread recently after wondering what was happening with the third empty sub-class slot in the Character menu.

The gist of it is that there are three "Elements" - Solar, Void, and Arc. Each class has a combination of 2/3:

Titan: Arc/Void
Hunter: Solar/Arc
Warlock: Void/Solar

The idea behind this is so that you will be inclined to use at least two of the three classes, to gain access to all the elements. However, there is also a third, empty sub-class slot; leading me to believe something's coming...

The link I provided above suggests this will be a mix 'n' match style subclass, where you can select abilities from either sub-class to create your own custom one.

Does anyone know what this third slot is actually for?

texts: Is the German (DE) version of Dishonored low-violence / censored?

texts:
I just got a copy of Dishonored (DE) on Steam.  The German (DE) version of Dishonored can be unlocked from any country; however, is it any different from the version bought in other countries?

For other games, such as Saints Row 2, Counter-Strike Source, and even Team Fortress 2, the German version has ridiculous censorship.  However, according to a number of posts online (1, 2, 3, 4), the German version of Dishonored isn't censored at all.  Most of these posts, though, were from before the game was actually released, and they're all anecdotal or second-hand.

So, are there any confirmed sources that state whether the German version is or isn't censored?

For instance, it seems like an iron mine can only support maybe one or two smelters, but one coal mine can support multiple.

Is there some way to tell how many base resource buildings you need per manufacturing plant?

texts: Functions - Prevent specific item from being put in chests

texts:
My idea is to not let a specific item be put in any chest of the world, if possible using /setblock or /fill (relative to each player's position.) with an oldBlockHandling of destroy. I'm avoiding using anything that isn't functions, and it doesn't matter if the solution is complex or long.

I tried with this:

scoreboard objectives add chesthasitem dummy
stats entity @a set AffectedBlocks @a chesthasitem
execute @a ~ ~ ~ testforblock ~1 ~ ~ chest -1 {Items:[{id:"minecraft:writable_book",tag:{display:{Name:""}}}]}
execute @a[score_chesthasitem_min=1] ~ ~ ~ setblock ~1 ~ ~ air 0
destroy

The clean tags and selectors are unimportant, do not worry about it.
I got this to work for one chest, but when I repeated the same command with one different scoreboard and different coords, the chest was detected but not destroyed.

I wanted to know precisely how land demolition works in ArcheAge (EU/NA version, published by Trion), in particular for the unfinished construction yard.

I read the sign on the contruction yard itself that tells "protected until...", what does it mean?

In League of Legends, your character is in fact a CHAMPION who has been SUMMONED to do battle in the arena of the League by a powerfull magic user dubbed a SUMMONER (who is supposed to be you as a person). The minions of the arena we know, are mindless soulless constructs.
The champions however, are real living breathing people in the games lore.

I have a living room computer running XBMCbuntu, which is essentially a streamlined version of Ubuntu geared towards running XBMC (and so it boots directly into XBMC).

The machine it's installed on is pretty weak from a gaming standpoint, but I have a few indie titles that it should be able to run and I am very curious to see if it would be able to handle in-home streaming of games.

Since, to my best understanding, XBMCbuntu has some Ubuntu bits missing to keep it lightweight, I was wondering if it is at all possible to install the Steam client on it. A simple Google search did not yield anything reliable/conclusive, and so I turn to the expertise of you fine gentle-persons.

Have any of you had any experience with installing Steam on a plain XBMCbuntu machine? If so I would love to know how to get started. To be clear, the machine is more or less at the state one would get to by following the installation instructions on fresh machine.


texts: What is the order of any type of "resurrection" in League of Legends

texts:
I know that there are several types of resurrection skills in LoL. What do I mean by the "resurrection" term?

Following skills and items can be categorized under the term "resurrection":

Champion Passive - Aatrox Passive
Item - Guardian Angel
Champion Skill - Yorick - Ulti
Champion Skill -Zilean - Ulti

To combine all of this, all of the other skills and items should be used on Aatrox. I'm just curious about what order these skills will take effect?
Assuming;

Skills used just before first death
There is continuous damage that is applied on the champion Aatrox (say 3k true damage per second)

With above assumption what will happen? Has anybody ever tried this?

Note: If I forgot to mention any skill, passive or item that resurrects the applied champion please indicate them, too.

texts: How to add more ROMs to MAME on X-Arcade

texts:
We take the off-hours entertainment seriously here at Stack Exchange, so we got one of the X-Arcade cabinets installed at the office.

Trouble is - we can't seem to be able to add more ROMs to it.

The whole thing's backed by a PC running Windows 8. We know where the ROMs are supposed to be located. If we drop additional zipped ROMs into C:\MAX2.10\MAME\roms and then run mame64.exe, they are recognized just fine. However, the frontend runner that the cabinet comes with doesn't seem to be able to pick up the new games we dropped in.

Hitting F5 doesn't seem to make it refresh. It looks like the frontend software is capturing all keyboard input and interpreting it in its own way.

How can we make this work so that we don't have to keep bringing up the task manager, killing the frontend, and running MAME directly? In a pinch, it'll probably do, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get a full list of available games from MAME itself, so having them show up in the cabinet's frontend emulator would be best.

So, I went on my computer today, and my Minecraft pc world was corrupted, and wouldn't show up in Minecraft. After searching, I decided that I should try to find the seed of the world, so I downloaded NBT Explorer, but when I opened level.dat, it says "One or more selected files failed to open." I have no idea what to do, and I really want my world back. Also, here's a link to a zipped copy of the corrupted world: http://www.mediafire.com/file/tr8jvnaqy6a8jl2/No_cheating.zip

I have also tried repairing it in MC Edit, but the option is grey and won't work. Edit and View just come back with an error.

I attempted doing what @sh4dow said twice. Once, it brought back the world, but nothing that I'd built was there. The second time, it did nothing, but when I viewed the world it was in with MC Edit, there were chunks missing, like a chessboard.

My Minecraft launcher isn't opening and every time I try to open the launcher the loading sign pops up next to my mouse for half of a second then goes away leaving nothing.

I have tried everything I know, I have uninstalled then reinstalled multiple times, I have gone into the .minecraft files and tried everything I know.

Can anyone tell me how to fix my launcher? If you could I would really appreciate it!

Thank you to anyone that helped or at least tried to help me with this!!!


texts: How do I know when to help my teammates?

texts:
Context: Yesterday I was playing soloqueue and I passed by one of my teammates fighting two enemies.  I jumped in to help and because I didn't have any abilities on cooldown I happened to kill them both. He complained about me killstealing. Looking back on it he was probably right but that was not my intention, I was only trying to help. This leads to my question.

How can I tell when I should help a teammate in a fight and when I should just let them deal with it themselves?


texts: How can I prevent players from having a specific item in their inventory?

texts:
My brother has a problem with hooking people with fishing rods instead of focusing on survival. I know about the /clear command, but command blocks are only active when the chunk they're in is loaded, and I'm afraid that he'll go past that to get a fishing rod and start it up again. Since Minecraft is basically infinite, I can't keep placing command blocks whenever he moves away from one.
Is there a mod, command, etc. that can outright prohibit certain items from players' inventories no matter where they are in Minecraft?


texts: Do stronger Conjuration spells make weaker bodies stronger?

texts: I've noticed you can summon weak creatures like elk and wolves with any level of Conjuration Reanimation spell, and was thinking to myself "Surely, if it cost that much magika to cast revenant than that revenant wolf must be beast compared to a raised zombie one". Is this assumption correct?
