texts: After some long exploration, how do I find a system with populated stations to dock?

texts:
One week ago, I have decided to go for a trip to find black holes after getting a fuel scoop. Right now, I am very very far away from the starting systems (may be >5000 to 10000 light years).

I want to find a station to dock, buy some new equipment and stuff. However, I have been searching for days and I still cannot find any. All systems around me only contain one to two big planets, nothing else. I am starting to feel frustrated.

Other than detonating myself in the cold space and start again, is there anything I can do to find a station other than randomly fly to systems and check?

texts: What is with the decrepit body in the French Chateau?

texts:
At one point during the French Chateau chapter, Nate & Sully come across a body of one of Talbot's men that is heavily decayed. Sully questions how it was possible for the body to be so decayed as Talbot and his men "just got there".

While I was hoping this would be explained as the game went on, no references were ever made back to it.

To unlock the Knight Time Strike AR challenge, I have to "perform 2 Perfect shots in a row in a drone tank battle". To unlock the Untouchable AR challenge, I have to "perform 3 Critical shots in one drone tank battle".

texts:
I have followed the instructions by fileplanet:

  Instllation:
  1. Download: ZBot - CS Bots

  Before You start installing Zbot it might be a good idea to backup
  your current settings just in case. Either backup your entire cstrike
  folder or just the file "liblist.gam" (this is where the changes are
  made).

  Unzip

  Unzip the entire content of the zip to your Counter-Strike folder.
  Should look something like this:

But I'm confused about the below line -  what does it mean?

  Kod:
  /SteamApps/mail@mail.com/Counter-Strike/

I press "H" to add bots in game, but the console says

unknown command bot_add_ct

I also checked this question:

  In the Steam Game --> right click on Counter-Strike -> Properties -> Launch Options and add -dll "dlls\zbotcz"

But I cannot understand how to do that.

So for some reason, be it game or console related, my game has me stuck with my checkpoint set at the First Lady Aerodome. No matter how far I advance, if I try to quit or press "restart last checkpoint" in the menu, it'll keep sending me back to to where I was hours ago.

This last time I noticed that if I tried to return to the Main Menu, a warning popped up telling me my last save was in November of 2005. Clearly this is not correct. Has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix it?

texts: Exterminate the Death Claws in Original Fallout

texts:
I've killed the death claw mother in the quest to help the Gun Runners in Boneyard. They promised they would move out and leave behind a huge stockpile of ammunition as a reward. They have done no such thing. Is this a glitch?
Upon talking to Gabriel and saying I've killed all the deathclaws and asking for the weapons, all of the Gun runners start aimlessly walking about the place, but that's it.
Where is the stockpile of weapons located? Could someone mark on this image?

It's not every clear in the game at all.
It's not made clear in this article?
Maybe I should do the 'get weapons for the blades' quest to open up the dialogue options with Gabriel again?
Also, when I talk to Gabriel I can still say 'I think I've killed all the Deathclaws', to which he responds 'Wait a few days, we've killed 20 over the past 2 years'. I wait a few days. No death claws come back because I've killed the mother and when I talk to Gabriel all I can say is 'I think I've killed all the Deathclaws' and so on ad infinitum.
That's what makes me think it's a glitch.

I've tried helping people out for the Gargoyles boss at levels 11, 12, 13 and all the way up to 20 and it seems like it's just SUPER rare to get someone who needs help (as opposed to invading...)

At level 11 or 20, the 10% level difference is only 1-2 levels which cuts you out from helping others of VERY similar level.

What's a good level for that boss and some other common bosses that people have trouble with, like 4 kings?


texts: Is there a way to disable the use of certain blocks on a minecraft server?

texts:
I have a bukkit server I run that is based on the latest version.

I have loaded a few mods mainly buildcraft, IC2, forestry and the BC-IC2 crossover.

Everything seems to be working fine but there is one thing that is bugging me. Forestry adds an electrial engine so you power it with IC2. Well so does the crossover mod (4 actually). What I want to do is "disable" the use of the electrical engine from forestry as in I don't want it show up or be spawnable even through commands.

How could I do this? Just give it no block id? or is there more to it?

texts: Purchasing PSVITA game / and its digital counterpart

texts:
I purchased Uncharted and Rayman as my first two games for the Vita.
Already I find it annoying to have to keep going back to my bag to get the game I want to play, whereas if I just installed it or digitally downloaded it to the memory card, I could just launch it. (Lazy, I know. lol)

My question is, if I buy a physical game, can I download it free from the PSN store, or is there a way to install it on the system itself from the PSV cartridge?
I wouldn't mind trying it myself, but I don't want to make a mistake and buy it a second time.

texts: Error 0x800704c6 on updating/reinstalling Gears Tactics (Win10, Xbox Game Pass)

texts:
I've been playing Gears Tactics on Windows 10 via Xbox Game Pass for the last few days. Everything was working fine until it tried to install an update yesterday. The download hung at 246MB out of 2.8GB, with an error code 0x800704c6, message "couldn't connect to the service". I cancelled it, which uninstalled the entire game. When I tried to reinstall, it hung again, at the same place (but now out of a 28GB download).

Things I've tried:

Reboot the machine
Repair/reset/uninstall/reinstall the Xbox Beta app
Run the Windows Store troubleshooter
Run wsreset as admin
Run sfc /scannow as admin
Reboot with a clean start (no services/startup apps loaded)
Install from the Windows Store
Install from the Xbox Beta app

Is there anything else I can do, short of nuking and reinstalling the OS entirely?

I can install other XGP games (just tried and succeeded with Moving Out), so the problem looks to be specific to this game.


texts: Can't Travel From Siwa To Alexandria - Install In Progress (Stuck at 28%)

texts:
I recently bought a pre-owned disc of Assassin's Creed: Origins for the PS4. The game downloaded and installed fine; the console said everything had downloaded (nothing of concern in Downloads).

I played through the beginning of the game with no trouble, took time on side quests and whatever else, really liking the game. Once I got to the point where you confirm you wish to move on from Siwa to Alexandria with Hepzefa, I found myself stuck on the Animus loading screen (the one with the tips, etc.) with a note saying 'Install In Progress, 28% Completed' in the top right corner.

Checked for any download issues and/or console updates once waiting for a good while, and everything was up to par. Googled it, only found the same issue from a few years back (2017, etc. This is 2020), and thought it may be patched by now. Currently reinstalling the entire game, but if that doesn't work, I'm unsure of what else to do other than replace the disc and hope for the best. Any help is appreciated :))

Small Edit: Disc is completely clear of smudges and scratches, thankfully. After deleting and reinstalling, the note now says it is at 24% rather than 28%. Just seems to be going south at this point :')


texts: Effectively training multiple formations

texts:
The answer to this question suggests that it's difficult to run two formations where all players are in a comfortable role/position. However, my assistant manager keeps insisting that we train two or more different formations.

What is the best solution here? To run two different formations, try and get a good average comfort rating, and accept that some players will not be playing to the best of their ability? Run two otherwise identical formations with different instructions (e.g. control/counter, high/low tempo)? Or just ignore my assistant manager, and dedicate all efforts to a single formation/tactic?

texts: How do the "Level range" fields work in the AH?

texts:
I have an iLvl 63 one hand mace that deals 600 DPS and has some other goodies, most notably the required level is reduced by 8. This means this particular item can be used by level 52 chars.

I checked if there were any such weapons available and found none. As my weapon surpasses every similar item I set the buyout price to 1m.

I checked the AH some hours later how my item competes, but did not find it.

My query was like this:

1-handed
Mace
Level range nothing - 52

As the weapons are sorted by DPS by default (I even selected it to be sure) my weapon should be at the top. But the first weapon listed has like 280 DPS.

I am very confused. Do the Level range fields actually address the item level instead of level required?

This would be stupid as no one would EVER find my weapon. Who looks for "Level range" max 63 and reduced level requirements 8 to find a item with requirements for level 52?

So what do the level range fields actually do, especially in the level 60 upto 63 range?


texts: Create a new Netstorm player with access to the whole tech tree

texts:
I'm in India and I have some friends in the US. We met a few players from different countries online (Malaysia ... etc) and we want to setup an online game. The problem is how to find a good TIME to schedule our games.

For example I'm usually free from around 6pm - 10pm (and sometimes from 7am - 8:30am) in my local time zone. The others would have their own preferred times. Is there any service or tool we could use to find the best or most optimal time slot that everyone could use?

The current idea we're experimenting is converting our timezones to GMT - but does anyone have a better or EASIER way?

(EDIT: I'm the admin and the server runs on my computer. I've changed none of the server files when this happened.  Literally all I did was log off for about 5 minutes, then get back on, and my inventory and crafting recipes reset an' I'm back at world spawn like I'm a new player to the world.)

texts: How do you counter multi-tank teams in Dominion?

In Dominion, characters that can just stick around towers and toss ranged attacks but still have a fair bit of defense (Kayle, Galio) seem to be able to indefinitely buy time against 2 or even 3 attackers until backup arrives, which is never far away due to free speed buffs in the center.  The extreme mobility also allows the defense-y classes to rush between CPs.

texts:
I'm running a Minecraft server on a computer with 16GB of RAM and a 64 bit Java, which is fully updated. My friend and I are the only people who are ever on the server. Yesterday, while exploring (negative 4-5K blocks away from spawn), the server starts lagging (my friend's screen showed that I wasn't moving when I actually was), then crashes. I assumed this meant the server had run out of memory and my friend and I disconnected & rejoined, then went back to 0,0. I didn't find it worth it to give the server more memory than the 1024MB it had at that point, so I let it be and everything went fine.

Today, on the beginning of an exploring mission (about 500 blocks from spawn [in the opposite direction as last time]), our (me and my friend's) boat started jittering and we were unable to move. Then the server crashed. If you'd like the crash report, please ask. I won't put it here because it's pretty long, but the crash report said “Watching Server java.lang.Error”.
I assumed the server simply has run out of memory, so I allotted 2048MB to the server and restarted it. The server ran well - until I joined, at which point it crashed, with the following error:

I researched the error messages from both crash reports and have allotted 3G RAM to Minecraft and 4G to Java, and have tried running the server with 1024MB, 1G, 2G, and the default server size (bypassing batch file) and have received the same crash report each time, so I'm fairly sure the problem isn't with the RAM. When I try to join the server, the minecraft loading screen gets all the way to "loading terrain", then the server crashes at the time where I would normally join the game. Minecraft says either "server closed" or "java.lang.StackoverflowError". I researched this for about an hour and haven't gotten any answers, so I posted here. Thank you!

I have a 3ds game that is fine on the front. It's old though, I have had it for a few years it's called "puppy word 3D" or somthing like that.

I think it's broken because there is green stuff on the gold thingies on the back (I have no idea/ forgot what they were called) I have no idea what the green stuff is so I haven't touched just in case

I might have an idea on what happened - I think I spilt some water on the card by accident years ago and water got in the golden metal things and I am not sure but I think it was near some salt that was from a salt rock lamp think

I can't show a picture of it sorry

texts:
How much armor do you get from Strength? My level 60 barb is on inferno. With all armor removed and no passives that give additional armor I have 187 strength and 215 armor. If I add items that have just strength on them and no armor (like amulets/rings) my armor goes up by more than the strength on the item.
For example I add an amulet with 99 strength and now I have 286 strength and 328 armor. The strength has given me 113 armor?
It seems like strength is giving about 1.14 points of armor per point...


texts: How do I chain together kills and why should I care?

At first I thought it was determined by the amount of time I take in between each kill, but this doesn't seem to actually matter. It doesn't seem to be based on whether or not I take damage, either. How do I increase my kill chain? Are there even any rewards for increasing it or is this mechanic just for aesthetics?

texts: Skyrim undead characters not moving at all

texts:
I recently got Skyrim with all of its addons on Steam and started a new game.

Everything works perfectly except for undead characters such as Draugrs and Skeletons which are frozen in place and not moving at all until I kill them.

I've found posts of people having the same problem but they seem to be using animation mods such as FNIS ( http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811 ), which I don't. The only mods I use are for the UI (SkyUI and the necessary SKSE), textures (Skyrim HD, Enhanced Blood) and for the map (Quality World Map), and I don't have any meshes/actor folder.

I tried disabling each addon separately but it didn't fix the problem.

Anyone knows what could cause this?

texts: Does a banished Daedra take the loot with it?

texts: I've been avoiding using any weapons that banish "Summoned Daedra up to level XX" back to Oblivion, because I want the fire / frost / void salts they drop.  I have been assuming that when they are banished, they just disappear - is this correct, or do they leave behind the same pile of ashes (with loot) that you get when killing them the regular way?


texts: Victoria 2 Presidential Dictatorship to Monarchy

texts: I'm playing as the USA right now, and I've already been taken over by reactionary rebels and currently have a presidential dictatorship.

texts: In what chronological order do the end-game cutscenes occur?

texts:
Spoilers below, obviously.

There are a couple of cutscenes that play after the final battle in FFXV.  The first occurs in between the first and second sets of credits, and shows:

   Noctis and his companions sitting around a campfire in the dark, wearing their 'regal' outfits, and chatting.  Noctis gets all emotional and tells his friends how great he thinks they all are.

Where is this meant to fit in the chronology of the story?  Specifically, is it showing what occurred on the way to the final fight, or something that happened afterwards?  And if the canonical explanation is that it happened afterwards, then:

   Is there any explanation for Noct not being dead anymore?

And along similar lines, there's a second cutscene that occurs after the second batch of credits, showing:

   Dawn breaks across the land, the darkness finally banished.  We see an empty throneroom, with the photo that you selected before starting the final battle resting on the throne.  Noctis and Lunafreya both appear and embrace, and the air gets all sparkly.

This one obviously occurs chronologically after the final battle is concluded.  However it's not really clear if:

   Noct and Luna are being depicted as being reunited in spirit (the story seems to include some concept of a 'land of the dead' type existence) or in the real-world?  If it's meant to be the latter, is there any explanation for Noct and Luna both not being dead anymore?

And speaking of people being dead:

   Were those corpses Ardyn had in chains when Noct first enters the throne-room meant to be real, or just an illusory dig at Noct?  I assume it was the latter given the way they suddenly vanish into nothing.


texts: Steam family share resets itself randomly

texts: So my younger brother family shares with me, and sometimes his library stops showing up. Usually I can just click play on his game, and a 'request access' menu pops up, and upon clicking that I instantly get verified. Today however, the same thing happened, except no window shows up to verify. The game just straight up does not open. If I go to the actual game executable for any of the games, it launches just fine (normally this would also trigger the 'request access' message box). It doesn't show me in game on steam through this method, and the steam overlay doesn't work.

Why can't I trade it?


texts:
I can't seem to find any information anywhere about the speed of the GregTech advanced pump.  Considering that it is constructed from 4 BuildCraft Pumps and consumes quite a bit more energy, it seems like it should be an improvement in some way.  The only information I have been able to find is about secondary improvements:

  The biggest advantage over the regular Pump is that it removes both
  source blocks and flowing liquid, making the pumping less laggy. It
  also covers a much larger distance and depth.

(Source: http://ftbwiki.org/Advanced_Pump)

What about the actual speed of pumping, y'know, the whole point of a pump?  When I test it on a server, I can see it pumping about 1-2 buckets per second with a dedicated MFE.  This makes no sense.  Is the much cheaper BuildCraft Pump (which can pump up to 1/t, or 20/second) actually the better pump?


texts: Which items from the Gun Mettle Cosmetic Case can be Unusual?

texts:
Earlier this week, the Gun Mettle Cosmetic Case had been released, which contains a selection of new cosmetics. There's also a chance that the item you get from it may be either Strange, Unusual or even both.

Earlier today, I managed to unbox an Unusual hat, and that was the Rotation Sensation.

But what other items can be Unusual? Can all the items from the crate be Unusual, or only specific items from it?


texts: Just picked up CK2 and trying to figure out how to survive.  I started with the Stamford Bridge scenario as William.  I've won the war and taken England, but of course my English vassals hate me.  I want to start giving away Duchies to my loyal Norman buddies, but can't figure out how.  I've revoked a number of Dukes holdings, but can't give those holdings away.  I managed to give one away via the personal diplomacy tab, but now it won't give me that option anymore.  It says I have no holdings to give away, but yet opinions scores say I am still taking a penalty for having too many duchies.  Ideas?

I've tried Compatibility Mode, running as an admin, and literally everything I've been able to find online.
I don't really want to use a virtual machine or have to buy it on GoG or Uplay. Or does anyone know of any patches that will help it run on windows 10

texts:
I already played many hours of Pokemon Go, but since yesterday I am unable to login with my Gmail account. After I sign up I see this screen:

This screen wont change, not even after a of couple hours. I reinstalled the game twice and restart my phone but this did not fix the problem.

I am not in a country where it's released. I downloaded my game from apkmirror for Android. I tried making a Trainer Club account and switching back to Gmail, but this this does not solve the problem. The trainer account works but my Gmail account still crashes at the screen with the loading Pokeball

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

texts: Will using Slow negatively affect my score?

texts:
While playing Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, I noticed in the summary statistics of a play that the game keeps track of your overall Slow percentage. I've found that using Slow definitely helps me with fine tuning my movement when fighting bosses, so I'm trying to force myself to use it more often to help me get through tough battles (my tendency to forget to use my bombs is another matter entirely).

However, is this detrimental to how the game calculates my score? Is using Slow a bad habit to form?


texts: For Pokemon Go, is it possible to find out the "perfection" percentage without doing a "power up" or "evolve"?

texts:
I have seen video that says we can use an IV calculator such as:

https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator

to first find out the possible perfection %, and then keep on "power up" or "evolve", and use the Refine button and you can narrow down the real number for this Pokemon.

For example, it could be 67.8%, 82.2%, 94.8% (just an example), and after some power up and/or evolve, you can narrow down it to 82.2%

But I also have seen a video that says you can go to some website and type in your gmail log in, and it will tell you the perfection % of every single Pokemon that you have.  So I presume that will mean you don't have to waste stardust and candies to do the narrow down.

Is it really possible to know the perfection % without using stardust and candies to do the narrow down?

texts: Why isn't this laser at the Bunker showing up?

texts:
So I have completed all the puzzles inside I think, including the elevator. I've activated the panel at the topmost part:

The laser mechanism is pointing at the summit of the mountain, yet no laser actually shows up. I've restarted my game several times and each time loading in it's been this exact same way.

I can't tell if I'm missing something further that I need to do in order to get it working, or if it's bugged?  There's only one power source wired to the laser which is activated already, so I can't seem to find out why it's not showing up.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening?


texts: Black screen when alt-tabbing borderless games in Windows 10

texts:
When I attempt to alt-tab out of a game, or click on something on my second monitor, my primary monitor turns off for a couple seconds before turning back on (full black instead of backlit black). I play all my games in borderless or windowed borderless. Is there a way to prevent the screen from flickering and instead allow for a seamless transition out of the game when alt-tabbing?

The displays are extended. I have the latest versions of Windows and the latest game-oriented Nvidia driver for my 2080 super. I have two Freesync monitors - Nixeus Edg 34 ultrawide (2k 144hz, primary) and Nixeus Edg 27 (2k 144hz, second).

What I have tried so far:

1) Turned the Scaling mode in the Nvidia Control Panel to 'No Scaling' for both monitors.

2) Set the refresh rate and resolutions to the proper native settings for both monitors in the Nvidia Control Panel - however the Edg 27 appears to only have an option for 120hz instead of 144hz.

3) Set the games to 'Windowed' which appeared to correct the issue, however I would much rather play in 'Borderless' so I can seamlessly click out of the current game.

I recently built this PC and I did not encounter this issue with my previous build. I am using the same monitors and cables I used with the old PC:

New PC Specs:
Ryzen 3800x, Asus X570-E Strix motherboard, EVGA 2080 Super FTW3 Hybrid, 32 GB Gskill Neo 3600mhz ram (factory overclock), Corsair RM750x Power Supply, 2 Corsair LL140 fans, 3 LL120 fans, Corsair 240mm Pro XT RGB cpu aio, 4 corsair RGB strips (came with the LL120 fans), 1 Commander Pro, 1 Node Pro and 1 RGB Hub.

Games are installed on a Samsung Evo Plus m.2 drive as well as a Samsung QVO drive

Old PC Specs:
Ryzen 3700x,
Asus X570-F Strix motherboard,
Gigabyte 2080 Windforce triple-fan,
32GB Gskill TridentZ 3200mhz ram (factory overclock),
EVGA Supernova P2 750 Power Supply

Games installed on an m.2, 2.5" SSD and a 7200rpm HDD

Edit 1: Less than an hour after I posted the initial question
I talked to a friend of mine and he suggested that the monitor may not be getting enough power to it. Like the genius I am, I had my PC and both monitors plugged into the same dinky powerstrip. I plugged my larger monitor into a different powerstrip and it works perfectly now! I can tab-out with no black screen-flickering. Sorry for the self-answer.

EDIT 2: Less than an hour after the first edit
The issue has returned. I closed Bannerlord 2 and switched to Rust and the problem seemed to return. I closed Rust and went back to Bannerlord 2 and now that game has the issue too.

EDIT 3: Added PSUs and altered formatting to make it more readable, thanks for the suggestions Kadima!


texts: Is it faster to build a worker, followed by a settler, or the other way around?

texts:
In Civilization IV, both workers and settlers prevent your city's food store from increasing for as long as they are being built. Surplus food is funneled into the production of both units, speeding their creation.

A common dilemma I have at the start of the game is deciding which one to build first. I'd like to get a settler out as quickly as possible, to start another city. But without any farms, surplus food is low, so it will take longer to complete.

Alternatively, I could build a worker first, set it farming, then build my settler. Workers are significantly cheaper to produce than settlers. Perhaps the extra lead time to produce the worker would be offset by the accelerated production of the settler. But producing both the worker and the farm(s) takes time.

In general, given that I ideally want a settler as quickly as possible, is it a better strategy to build the settler first, or the worker? Are there any other factors to consider?

texts: Is there a list of all the magazines including pictures of them?

texts:
I'm trying to figure out which magazines I'm missing. They have different covers so they are obviously able to be identified separately. I want to know if there is a list that shows a picture or description of which magazines can be found where. This way I can compare that list to what I have already.

The wiki pages only have text descriptions of the locations, not the magazines themselves. Which means I have to rely on memory or guess and check work which would take longer than I'd like.


texts: If I collect my resources, will it reduce any loss from attacks?

texts:
Currently, I am having a hard time collecting resources.

I am constantly attacked every time I'm without a shield. The losses of gold and elixir are huge: I can lose 50-80% of my resources in 2 attacks.

I always though that picking the resources would reduce my losses, but I'm no longer sure of this.

If I pick my resources, will it reduce any loss from attacks? Or there is absolutely no difference?


texts: How to see what all DLC I have in Max Payne 3?

texts:
Recently there was a deal in steam for Max Payne 3 and All its DLC. I purchased the game along with the DLC. Now whenever I try to redeem the code for DLC it always says

  Redemption code already in use

Now that could mean:
a.  There is some issue with all the redemption code I got from steam.
b.  By default steam have activated all DLC for me and I don't have to redeem any code.

If it is b then how to see/confirm if I really have all DLC or not.  ( and if it is a then what to do? )

Edit @keavon
Here is what I see in steam Max Payne 3 properties:

This says installed. That means all DLC already installed?

texts: Which attacks will nullify Khepri's special?

texts:
I use Khepri a lot, specifically in Arena, and I've noticed that some moves nullify his blessing. For example, an ally who is blessed and then gets killed by Ao Kuang's ultimate will not be revived. I assume this has something to do with the "assassination" type of ultimate that Ao Kuang has, but I haven't seen another move consistently nullify the blessing like his ultimate always does.

Are there any other powers or ultimates that nullify Khepri's special, causing an ally to not be revived?

Does anyone know a workaround, or perhaps an iPhone app that emulates the old interface such that this can be made to work?


texts:
So, with previous Tales games it was pretty easy to understand. You just had to use links from basic and altered and all that to set up your artes.

In Berseria, it's a bit different. Here's what I'm doing now. I'm putting a single element through all 4 stages on a single button. So X Stage 1-4 is water for example. Is this a valid strategy and widely used? What is truly viable as far as arte set up?

Another thing to consider is SP usage. I'm still wondering if putting the highest SP skills last or first or whatever really matters? I don't seem to be getting that much of a difference so I'm wondering if it starts to matter in the late game?

texts: In old grid-based RPGs (like Wizardry), how do you draw a map when you don't know its size?

texts:
Many older RPGs expected the player to create a real-life map on a piece of graph paper to navigate mazes. The Wizardry series is probably the most prominent, but skill is needed for several Gold Box games (e.g. Pool of Radiance), the Dark Heart of Uukrul, and many others from the era.

Without knowing the size of the floor (or where you are on it), you risk physically starting your mapping too close to the edge of the paper and running out of room. This can lead to a lot of trial-error, erasing, and re-mapping. In some cases, the map may not even fit on a piece of graph paper (such as the Dark Heart of Uukrul).

What are some techniques for working around this problem (until you can hopefully figure out the dimensions of the floor/area)?


texts: Xbox 360 HDD or OS is not working the way its supposed to

texts:
So, I was playing Mass Effect 2 and as I was walking the screen just kind of froze, I could still hear sound playing fine so I knew the console didn't freeze. After about 2 minutes of waiting a screen came up that said the disk is scratched or dirty. Well, the problem is I was playing the Kasumi DLC so it was being read from the HDD.

I restarted the console after that and it started to do things that it shouldn't be doing. It will either say there is a profile available or not, depending on the restart. Or it will sign into my profile on XBL and even notify me of whose online. Or it will tell me whose online while saying that I'm signed out.

I've tried doing a profile recovery, but I keep getting an error that XBL sign up is unavailable.

What can I do to fix this? Is there a way to perform chkdsk on the HDD? I'm 99% sure it's just a corrupt sector that needs to be fixed.

Anyway, I hope you guys might have a solution. I don't feel like spending money on this console. I don't know what gen it is, but it's the white chassis with 4GB built in.

For example, with the "Spider Splicers", I finished the first level of research (I've filled the progress bar once). However, if I take a picture again, the progress bar restarts! So I guess there are several levels of research?

How do you know how many levels there are and at what level I am?


texts: Look at ebook or website during playing a Vita/PSOne game?

texts:
I just bought Final Fantasy VII on the PSN with my Vita and would like to play a 100% Complete game. Therefore I need to look at the FAQ every so often.

Sadly I couldn't find an ebook reader for the Vita yet and also it wants me to quit the game everytime I'm starting the internet browser?

Is there a workaround for this?

texts: How can I calculate the travel time in warp?

texts:
There are situations where it is very useful to know roughly how much time it will take to travel in warp between two points. If you have a bait ship somewhere, it is good to know how long it'll have to survive until the main fleet arrives. Or if you're in smaller ships and want to use the difference in warp speed to split an enemy gang, knowing the exact time it takes for any ship to warp a specific distance is very useful.

The maximum warp speed is easy, but in most situations the acceleration and decelaration in warp as well as the align time are the more important factors. What I'd like to know is a rough formula that would enable me to quickly estimate the time it'll take a specific ship to warp a specific distance.

texts: What are the timing and moves to get past the Mud Men in Dragon's Lair?

texts:
I've been working on completing the arcade version of Dragon's Lair in my spare time over the last few weeks and I'm stuck on the Mud Men scene. Despite reading two or three walkthroughs that I've found on the internet, I simply can't get past the second move.

The walkthroughs generally suggest hitting SWORD when the Mud Men first appear and then pressing UP after Dirk sheaths his sword. The idea is that you should start hitting periodic UPs while they chase you to the end of the screen, but only moving once Dirk has a slight pause.

I've tried this several times and I simply can't get the first UP to work. Sword works, it bounces off the men, and then Dirk sheaths his sword. Hitting UP before he puts it away, while he's putting it away, or after he's done simply fails and I get pulled into the goop. Apparently the machine I'm playing has the difficulty set to EASY.

Walkthoughs referenced:

Any help on what I'm missing here?


texts: How to sync controllers when usb doesn't work?

texts:
Ok so where do I start, years ago (about 2 or 3) I just bought the PS4, after a couple of months the USB ports (Both) stopped working where I plug my controller in. And then my controller desycned randomly so I am stuck, I can't plug my controller in to sync it, nor control the actual PS4. What do I do?

And can I use a converter in another non controller port, to turn it into a controller port. And sync it from that port.
So for example can I buy a HDMI converter to plug my controller in and control the PS4 using this?

Is there any more solutions?

texts:
This is a collection of questions like "Who gets the kill if someone does this and someone else does that?"
Includes sentry, barrels, flamethrower questions, as well as questions about various offhand items.

Do sentry kills count as kills?

Who scores the kill if...

...someone brings a sentry to the mission and someone else assembles it?
...someone brings a sentry to the mission, assembles it and then someone dismantles and assembles it again?
...someone brings a sentry to the mission, starts assembling it, but someone else finishes it?
...the sentry was brought by someone and assembled by someone else, and then rotated by another person?

If an alien dies because of the explosion of a barrel you shot, does it count as a kill?
If you shoot a barrel with weapon, and an alien dies, does that count as weapon kill?
(i.e. for achievements)

If someone sets an alien on fire, and then someone else attacks it with flamethrower again (on Easy difficulty, for example), whom does the kill count to?

Are kills with the following offhand items counted?

Hornet Barrage
MTD6 Smart Bomb
Hand Grenades
Assault Jets
v45 Electric Charged Armor
ML30 Laser Trip Mine
M478 Proximity Incendiary Mines
IAF Tesla Sentry Coil

Partial answers are also good.

texts:
I've seen many articles online claiming that there are permanent perks in Tranzit that can be unlocked through challenges. I've managed to earn permanent quick revive by reviving the  same player 15ish times. However, there are supposedly other permanent perks that you can earn such as phd flopper, stamina-up, and one that allows you to rebuild stronger barriers.

I've searched all over through Google looking for ways to get these perks. But, all I've managed to find are discussion boards talking about them with contradicting solutions for how these perks can be unlocked, or Youtube videos showing a player with the perk unlocked without any explanation of how to get it.

If anyone can provide a solid testable answer listing which permanent perks can be unlocked, and explanation of how to get them it would be greatly appreciated.

Hurray! I'm stuck again in chapter 6, after the announcement from Cave. There is a bridge to enter the next section but I'd need to be a TF2 scout to cross it.

There obviously must be a solution with portals; indeed, parallel to the bridge, there's portal-enabled sections on the ground and on the wall opposite; this screams of flinging. However, I can't quite pull this fling out.

What I'm trying to do is:

Place a portal in the blue area on the wall, top left corner
Enter slowly, walk over metal structure, take the left corner, stop on wooden plank.
Drop off towards the white blocks below, fling through with a second portal
Hurl through the portals, smash nose against the Aperture Science logo, or land right above it.
Quickload. (GOTO 10)

How am I supposed to set up this jump?


texts: How to fix white bodies on non-caucasian npc in fallout new vegas

texts:
I recently started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas and decided to add a custom NPC. So I started up the G.E.C.K. and added a new NPC. I decided to make the NPC an AfricanAmerican. After doing some basic setup I placed the NPC somewere in Goodspring and test out what I had created so far (some basic dialog). However, the NPC turned up with a white body.

Since I ran a heavely modded game, including body replacers, I figured it might be a problem with Archive Invalidation, or one of the mods acting up.
So I removed all mods, tried again, but that didn't fix it.
I made sure I invalidated the archives (tried using FOMM, NMM, ArchiveInvalidatorValidated, manualy changing the INI's, etc.), but that did not work.
I then decided to do a complete clean reinstall of the game (making sure the to remove the game folder so all mods where deleted as well), but that didn't help either.

Note that I do not refer to the pale faces glitch which is fixed by a INI setting. Note also that I did all INI fixes in all three INI files.

So I'm unsure how to continue on fixing the game and would welcome any advice!

texts: What determines the amount of condition damage from conditions applied by sigils and traits?

texts:
Some sigils can inflict conditions. One example is the sigil of earth. It has a certain percent chance of inflicting bleeding when you critically strike.

Trait benefits can also inflict conditions. One example of this is the Guardian's Shatter Aegis trait. It inflicts burning around the Guardian if aegis is popped.

Unlike the weapon and slot skills which explicitly states the amount of total damage the conditions deal of the stated time, the description for the sigil and trait conditions do not say how much total damage is dealt.

How is this damage determined? I assume condition damage also increase the damage of these conditions?

texts: Why don't spawn chunks work properly with OptiFine?

texts:
(This is a follow-on to an earlier question whose answer taught me about spawn chunks.)

I've built an iron golem farm in Minecraft, and I've noticed that golems don't spawn when I'm far away from it if I'm using OptiFine, even though the farm is located within the "spawn chunk" area that should always be loaded.  If I switch to vanilla Minecraft without OptiFine, the farm works properly even when I'm far away.  It also works under OptiFine when I'm near the farm.

I'm running Minecraft 1.8.4 with the official Mojang launcher, and OptiFine 1.8.4 HD D4 Ultra.  No other mods.  The farm is basically right next to the world spawn point; the whole thing is within about 40 blocks of it.  I'm traveling to a distance of about 600 blocks for testing "far away".  I'm staying entirely in the overworld, so the Nether isn't involved.

With vanilla, my farm produced about 40 iron in about half an hour while I stood at a distance of roughly 600 blocks.  With OptiFine loaded, it produced zero iron in an entire hour of idling at the same distance.  Items dropped on the ground did disappear, though, so it seems that the farm's chunks are still loaded at least to some extent under OptiFine.

Is there a way I can fix this?  I want to use OptiFine for its connected textures and anisotropic filtering, but I also want my iron farm to work.  As a guess, I tried turning off OptiFine's "lazy chunk loading" setting, since the tooltip says that turning it off gives you "default server chunk loading", but it didn't make a difference.

texts: What are good abilities and weapons against metal slimes?

texts:
Just like in the whole Dragon Quest series, in Dragon Quest of the Stars the best way to gain experience is to defeat metal slimes in different forms. However, they are notoriously hard to defeat because a lot of attacks and spells do not do any damage. A lot of my helpers have a Metal Slime Sword/Spear/Bow, are they any good in defeating them? What abilities are good against it?

I do have a weapon with Metal Blow, and that works quite well (it also states that in the description). Once I saw a helper with the ability Metallurgy, but not against metal slimes. I could not find the description of this ability, because I do not have it yet.

So I am looking a bit for best strategies to defeat metal slimes, but to narrow it down I would like to know which weapons and abilities are performing well on metal slimes.

SNS-MW-USA-1

Text Label: Shorter.
Back: SNS-USA/CAN.
Instructions/Warnings:: Has only two in each of English and Spanish.
Has 27 stamped in black next to "Important"
Has an additional patent listed.

N64 Cartridge - Super Mario 64
One is labelled NUS-NSME-USA while the other is labelled NUS-NSME-USA-1. They have identical backs.
NUS-NSME-USA

No 'seal' on the label

NUS-NSME-USA-1

Has a "Players Choice Million Seller" seal on the label.

I still wonder if there is any change to the software itself. For example, I have seen walk-throughs and such that list tricks you can do using glitches, which I suspect may not be possible with a newer one.
Logic says that the ones with the -1 suffix are newer revisions of the game with bug-fixes or whatever, but I don't know for sure. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and which is the better one to keep?

These past two weeks, I played both games all the way through (to 100% completion) on the cartridges with the -1 suffixes, so I hope I made the right choice (and don't have to beat myself up for losing the save-games).

I couldn't find anything in this map. What am I supposed to do here, and what is there to find?


texts: Dealing with Protoss and Terran players that turtle up

texts:
At the moment I'm having problems (as Zerg) against Protoss and Terran players who turtle up inside their base (either inside their starting position or inside their first expansion).  I know that when I see this (typically I scout with my 13th drone) my reaction should be to take the investment in static defenses as a sign that they are not going to attack immediately and use the opportunity to get an economic advantage over my opponent, so I place a couple of zergs outside their defenses as an early warning and take a second (or possibly third) expansion.

The problem comes when I try and take advantage of my economic lead.  I've tried a few different things to break through their turtle but nothing works that consistently

Avoiding their defenses and harassing with mutalisks works some of the time, however its easily countered by opponents who know its coming and build air defenses
Attacking the wall directly with higher level units (hydralisks or even just roaches) sometimes works, however I generally take fairly heavy losses if it does
I've tried attacking with banelings however again I find this is fairly inefficient

As a result I now tend to just contain them inside their walls, harass when I can and prevent them from expanding.  Against Terran players I tend to do OK (especially against those who fail to invest in air defense), although it feels like I'm taking a long time to kill off my opponent.  If I wait long enough then Protoss players tend to go for Void Rays which gets me every time.

What should I be doing in this situation?


texts: Combating Fallout 4 radiation illness in survival

texts:
Before I start, let me make it clear that I'm not talking about radiation sickness, but rather about contracting illnesses from being irradiated in survival mode.

To be succinct, is it normal to contract illnesses from standing in
radiation (and not a cause of one of my mods)?
If so, can this be negated with the Ghoulish perk or a hazmat suit/rad-x?
If there's no way to negate it, can anyone point me to a mod that does? Its' pretty immersion-breaking to get random illnesses (namely parasites, infections, and weakness) from a few seconds of gamma radiation, especially if even being "ghoulish" doesn't solve the problem.


texts: When should I consider using the Auction House?

texts:
I understand the basics of the world-of-warcraft auction house and it would seem logical to draw some parallels between that AH and this AH. There are two differences between them however that makes it seem like the AH is something to be picked up later in the game, hence my question.

The AH in WoW was generally used from level 1 for me as I could supply gathered crafting materials and low level green items to supply people training their crafting skill. This leads to both of the differences in that crafting skill levels are now account wide and you do not actually need to practice the skills to raise them, you just need gold (and eventually specific items).

With the salvaged materials selling (very often) for less than what you could sell a magic item to the merchant it seems a waste to enter into the AH in the early game. At what point in the game (Act or Level) does it make sense to start selling items on the Auction House instead of to a merchant?


texts: How can I test for there being 0 entities? As in, do something when there are no iron golems in a certain radius?

texts:
I am hoping to make a command that will do something when the /testfor command brings up 0 of a specified entity. For example:

/testfor @e[x,y,z,r,type=Zombie,count=0]


texts: How does map difficulty work in Dungeon Defenders?

texts: Does it works like in Mass Effect 3 MP, where no matter how many players are in the party and their levels; or it works by changing enemies level according to the party number and party levels, like in Dead Island?


texts: Where can I find documentation for ComputerCraftEdu?

texts:
Summary of Answer
Written documentation is available in an archived copy of the mod’s wiki. It’s currently accessible here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20161126140402/http://services.minecraftedu.com/wiki/ComputerCraftEdu (accessed 2019-10-12)
The link above was provided by Fabian Röeling. His full answer is available herein.

I'm a teacher and Minecraft noob, and I been playing around with the education edition of ComputerCraft, i.e., ComputerCraftEdu. It uses programmable turtles, but with a more accessible GUI. However, I cannot locate any printed documentation; the URL for the mod's wiki seems to be broken:

Broken link: http://services.minecraftedu.com/wiki/ComputerCraftEdu

This web address is referenced on at least two authoritative sites, e.g., computercraftedu.com and the developer's site.
I presume this issue may have something to do with the change of the "MinecraftEdu" product to "Minecraft: Education Edition." Presumably, this name change also affected the domain name of the related website, i.e., http://minecraftedu.com currently redirects to https://education.minecraft.net/.
That said, I tried modifying the problematic URL to point to the newer domain, but I came up short. I also tried contacting the distributor of the mod and the mod's developer, but I was unsuccessful.
Does the wiki exist on a new site? Or is there a new path on the new site? Does written documentation exist anywhere else?


texts: What do the symbols next to car stats mean?

texts:
As far as I can tell, these symbols are never explained in the help menu. They seem to be indicators of quality (listed from best to worse, based on my experience):

Concentric circles
Circle
Triangle
X

Are these all of the possible symbols? Do they have precise meanings, or are they only vaguely representative of the attribute's quality?
