texts: Terminal script for Minecraft server autosave

texts:
I've been looking into Minecraft servers recently, and since I use a Mac, I know that the terminal application is an effective way to run a server with additional ram (you know, with the java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nametag).

Basically, I run a server by using a .command file with the following script:

ls
cd desktop
ls
cd MinecraftServer
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar

I've chmod 'd the file so that with one click, I can boot up the server with 1024 megabytes of ram. Without using plugins, is there a way I can run my server so that terminal copies my server map with periodic intervals, and stores them in an easily accessible directory? For example, while the server is running, a script counts every hour and stores a backup of my map.

EDIT: I did some research and also read some of your advice. This is what I came up with:

cd /Users/userme/Desktop/Minecraft
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar & bash -c 'while [ 0 ]; do cp -r /Users/userme/Desktop/Minecraft/world /Users/userme/Desktop/A ;sleep 1800;done'

I know most of you guys will understand how this works, but it basically starts up the server.jar with one gigabyte of ram, and in the background, simultaneously triggers a loop where a copy of my world is made and saved in directory A as a file, not the clumsy level.dat files. The loop will wait 30 minutes before making another copy. In short, this script makes it easy to start up a server and have it make a backup of the map every 30 minutes.

texts: So my character in DC Universe is a sorcerer and she has great abilities, or at least she did until now. I finally figured out how to queue up for missions and did Area 51. I chose to be a Damager role. However, when I did I realized that she lost a lot of her better punch and kick combos. Now for whatever reason she's constantly either in healer mode or damager mode. I know by pressing up I can go to a menu that allows me to switch between them but I miss having cool combos. How can I get those back??


texts: Is it possible to unlock all intimidate options and the special renegade mission in Mass Effect 1 while keeping most story related people alive?

texts:
To clarify my question, there are points in the game where i can choose to kill people or spare/neutralise them. I'd prefer to keep them alive but that costs me a large amount of renegade points than if had killed them. Reason being is that I know that the individuals or groups i keep alive will help me later down the line.

So if i kept all the special characters alive that appear in later games, will there be enough renegade points to allow for all intimidation dialogue options to be available and to unlock the special renegade mission?

Note: I'd prefer to avoid any glitching/cheating to achieve the above result

texts: How do the Attack and Defense stats work in Pokémon GO?

texts:
Every pokémon has 3 base stats: stamina, attack, defense. Stamina determines a pokémon's HP. However, I still don't understand what attack and defense do. If pokémon use moves that deal a fixed amount of damage (e.g. Vine Whip does 7 damage), why do attack/defense stats matter?

For example, Venusaur has a higher attack stat than Bulbasaur (198 vs. 126). Both of them can use Vine Whip. Wouldn't they both deal the same amount of damage? So why does it matter that Venusaur has a higher attack stat than Bulbasaur?

I feel like there should be some kind of equation that uses the attack stat of the attacker, and the defense stat of the defender in order to modify the damage in some way. Otherwise, these two stats seem irrelevant.

Note that I am not talking about Type Effectiveness or STAB. I know how those modify the damage. I'm asking about how the attack and defense stats that pokémon have modify the damage they do.

  "V0001_POKEMON_BULBASAUR"
  ...
      Stats {
        BaseStamina: 90
        BaseAttack: 126
        BaseDefense: 126
  }
  "V0003_POKEMON_VENUSAUR"
  ...
      Stats {
        BaseStamina: 160
        BaseAttack: 198
        BaseDefense: 200
      }

texts: Where to find rotten flesh in 7 Days to Die Alpha 18?

texts:
Ever since Alpha 18, gardening hoes have been removed and farming now requires the building of farm plots. One requirement to craft them is rotten flesh.

Now it should not be too hard to find rotten flesh in a game where the vast majority of enemies are rotting people, but I can't find a way to gain rotten flesh from dead zombies.

How can I reliably find rotten flesh?


texts: How can Terran survive against a 1-base Roach attack if Terran goes with a Hellion rush?

texts:
Let's imagine Terran is going for a Hellion rush (1-2 build, by which I mean build 1 Rax + 2 Factories, Rax builds Reactor, then 1 Factory is switched with the Rax and builds 2 Hellions while Rax is building a Tech Lab that will be switched off to the 2nd Factory to get a quick "Infernal Pre-Igniter" upgrade).

Sometimes, doing such a build, I detect the Zerg player building a Roach Warren. For Terran that means you need to get either Tanks or Marauders quickly. But here is a problem: your 2nd Factory is still in progress, or you have the 2nd Factory but your first Tank is still building. A good Zerg will have 4-6 Roaches under your wall by that time. Because of the add-on buildings, you also won't able to build enough Marines/Marauders to put into bunkers.

What are your suggestions for dealing with such a situation?


texts: Is there any way to see kill/death ratio per weapon, map, or kit?

texts: Is there a penalty for escorting light ships with galleys/heavies?

texts: Light ships have speed = 10, heavies = 5, and galleys = 8. So theoretically a fleet of light ships would cover less trade area in a given month if they were escorted.  I seem to recall an earlier version of EU IV (at least a couple of years ago...) showed a penalty to escorting light ships (lower trade income) but last I checked, it appeared to have no effect. Since I just keep my heavies and galleys in port (in peacetime), it would make sense to escort as long as there's no penalty to income.  Anybody understand how this game mechanic is handled?


texts: What are the differences between GC and PS2 port of Viewtiful Joe?

Can anyone give me a complete account of what has been changed in the PS2 port from the original? For example, I know that the graphics have been affected somewhat. In what way? I know there's a new difficulty added, which one is it? And is the original difficulty level still preserved? How does the control mapping to a PS2 pad work?

texts: Champions available in League of Legends

texts: I am completely new to League of Legends, but as far as I understand, the only ways you can play a champion are by buying it, renting it with the crafting system, or playing it when it is part of the free rotation. However, as you can see in the picture below, when I select my champion at the beginning of a game, only one of the free rotation champions is available, and several other champions that I have not purchased or rented are available. Why is this?


texts: Can we manually reduce the file size of Minecraft SMP server by just deleting .mcr files?

texts:
We had an "accident" with WorldEdit and despite having BoarderGuard installed it sent a tunnel thousands of chunks away. Regardless now the map looks ridiculous. Of course the servercraft.co server crashed during this process and we were robbed of doing a simple /undo!

The worst part is, we did not notice the problem until a few days later and the several dozen players on our server would be a tad irked if we had to roll back the server a week.

I have read that deleting chunks etc is totally possible with MCedit. But since we chose to go with Servercraft, dowloading, editing offline, and then trying to reinsert the file back to servercraft is almost a nightmare scenerio. We have Bukkit running, and we are using a mod called BorderGuard so I know exactly what regions we are using. I was just curious if anyone understands what happens when you just delete .mcr files from the /world/region folder?  Do they go away permanently?

I do see that if we were ever to expand the BorderGuard those regions/chunks would come back the same since the seed is the same.

Anyone manually lop off part of their world and survived?

texts: Fourth Button in Elven Warrior's Tomb, Lower Level 2

texts:
I'm playing through Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession (1994) and I'm currently in the Elven Warrior's Tomb, Lower Level 2. There is a sequence of seven doors that are opened by seven buttons scattered across the level.

Does anyone know where the fourth button is?


texts: With an AMD card, can I force V-Sync only for Rage?

texts:
So, Rage recently got unlocked for EU territories, and the first thing I noticed once I started playing is an awful lot of screen tearing.

I heard that forcing V-Sync (since sadly there's no option within Rage to turn it on) solves the issue, and it certainly did the trick for me.

However, I couldn't find a way to have forced V-Syncing turned on just for Rage. I am currently using an AMD card, but I seem to recall that when I was using an Nvidia card there were options for performing tweaks on a per-application basis by creating some sorts of application profiles. Sadly, I couldn't find anything similar in the Catalyst Control Center.

So, is there such an option buried somewhere inside the Catalyst Control Center? Is there some sort of trustworthy third party tool that could help me with this? Maybe there is some secret configuration file for Rage where I can turn on V-Sync instead?

texts: How can I replay more destruction in Red Faction Guerilla?

texts:
I enjoyed playing through the story in Red Faction Guerilla back when it came out but now I'm mostly interested in going back and just laying waste to buildings with explosives and the nanorifle. The game sort of prevents you from doing this in a couple ways: after the story is finished, you can go back and play missions you already completed but buildings don't respawn unless they're specifically part of a mission. If I simply start a new game, I'm left with weapon restrictions and (sigh) no jetpack.

How can I go back and have fun destroying buildings again in this game? It doesn't seem like there are any cheats that would let me run around and destroy things - no storyline attached - which is exactly what I want to do. I've got the 360 version and the onlive version, so a solution on either platform will work for me.


texts: How can I increase Skyrim's performance on a PC when using graphics enhancement mods?

texts:
I recently installed the Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics Vision ENB mod which slowed down things way too much. I'd like to increase Skyrim's performance while still being able to continue using this mod and maintain my graphics levels as they are.

My computer currently has an nVidia graphics card and 6 GB of RAM.

Is there a way to boost Skyrim's performance without sacrificing the graphical fidelity the Sharpshooters mods provides, either through changing settings or the use of alternative mods that provide the same thing, only more efficiently?

UPDATE: ok, so i removed skyrim for now (because i have a whole passle of work to do, and killing the brothers of faeldon isn't one of them) but i also stumbled across the skyrim hialgo performance mod, which might be cool too?

Another one I've seen is "Wanderer," which was given to someone with only a few points, but all of which were in the Adventure genre.

texts: Why can I still see my tmodloader files even though I deleted them with check integrity

texts:
I tried fixing a problem with my Terraria mods by checking integrity of game files and now my mod files are "ghost files".

My original problem was when trying to log on after loading the vanilla stuff and went to loading mods (the first loading thing that appears of like 10) it didn't fill up one bit. I clicked verify integrity of files, and now I have all the tmodloader stuff but the game went back to vanilla Terraria and just simply wont use them.

I put "ghost files" because the files of tmodloader were there with nothing deleted and yet it was still vanilla Terraria. I think I might have overloaded my PC with mods (my PC hates mods and lags more with them and tmodloader isn't the best at loading mods but can do it) but I couldn't even get to the main menu and I wasn't thinking about the old uninstall and reinstall I clicked check integrity of game files but now my files are ghost files new edit also I don't know if this maters but my tmodloader is on my games>Terraria> then you see it.

texts:
I read today a Dev Watercooler article in Blizzard's site, regarding the plans they had back then for Mists of Pandaria:

  In Mists of Pandaria, Valor will be used to power a new feature that
  allows you to increase the item level of your existing epic items.
  This means that each week, you can become a little more powerful,
  hopefully allowing you to kill that boss that has eluded you thus far.
  There will be a bit of a game in trying to decide when to upgrade your
  gear versus hoping for a new piece to drop from a raid boss, but our
  plan is that even heroic gear can be upgraded slightly in this way.

(3rd paragraph, section "The Future of Valor")

Now that Mists of Pandaria is live, I haven't seen any NPC or anything like that that serves that purpose. Was this implemented? Scraped? To be released content?

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?


texts:
I've seen a thread or two about the lag problems in Skyrim on the PS3.  However, I've seen few (if any) about Skyrim actually crashing the system.  Perhaps my case is actually a lag, and I'm just not waiting long enough.  The lag cases seem to be related to Autosaves, and I will admit that some of my crashes seem to be around the point an Autosave might occur.  However, sometimes it's also during a load operation.  Sometimes, it appears rather random.

Usually, a reboot will leave me in the clear for a couple hours or so.  I've had the system crash on me twice in just tonight's session of a few hours.

Once, it appeared that it was just the game that had crashed - I was able to access the PS3's menu by holding the PS button.  However, after selecting to quit the game, my system instead gave an error beep and rebooted.  Every other time though, the whole system would just be hung - I couldn't even access the shutdown menu, a couple minutes after the start of the hang.

Is this a known common issue with the game?  Or, is this just my PS3 telling me I'm playing too much Skyrim and it needs a break?  Could it be an actual problem with my system?

One bit of information that would be helpful in diagnosing this is, from those who are more intimately familiar with the "lag and chopping" I'm reading about, how long does the system typically hang during Autosave lag?

P.S.:  I'm aware that a proposed workaround for the "lag" issue is to disable Autosave, but I've had that feature save my tail enough times I'd rather not.

P.P.S:  In response to a comment - I've now been playing Need For Speed: The Run for probably much longer than any single shot I had at Skyrim before a crash.

texts: For PC gaming on external storage, should I use Flash or HDD (hard disk drive)?

texts:
I will be playing PC games on external memory via a USB 3.0 connection. Ignoring price and memory capacity differences, which of these options is better for gameplay purposes?:

a Flash USB (generally better at transferring many small files), or
an External Hard Disk Drive (HDD) (generally better at transferring large files)

I've been told that the main downside to gaming externally is slower load times. In general, is loading, mainly heaps of small files or a couple of large files?

If it matters, the type of game I will be playing is Fallout 4, a large open world game.

I'm using a MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012. Running Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp. I have SSD internal storage, but only about 35GB left on the partition for Windows.

Which memory type should I use if I'm gaming externally? Flash or external HDD?


texts: Are Automated Refineries/Extractors as fast as three workers?

texts:
In both the Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm campaigns there are research options for automated refineries/extractors, which allow vespene gas to be harvested without a worker.  This has obvious benefits, such as freeing more supply for combat units and allowing long-distance vespene gas harvesting, but I'm curious how fast the gas actually collects.

Assuming the command center/hatchery is as close as possible to the vespene geyser, will three workers harvest gas quicker than, slower than, or just as quickly as the automated building?

texts: What are the differences between the normal, hard and 'True West' difficulty modes?

texts:
I initially played the game in normal difficulty. After the first level, the game recommended that I play in 'hard' difficulty, instead. I would like to know how difficulty changes between the difficulty levels.

Specifically:

Do enemy numbers increase, or will their numbers stay the same?
Or do enemies just have more hit points or deal more damage? Know by how much they are increased?

Any enemy AI behavior differences? Do they become 'smarter'?
Any other differences between the difficulty levels?
Any difficulty differences when you're playing a New Game Plus (separate from the difficulty level you chose to play the New Game+ in)?

In 'True West' mode, most of the HUD gets removed. Aside from that, are there other difficulty differences between hard and 'True West' difficulty?


texts: Can anyone tell me what are the uses of a Redstone Comparator?

texts: I am not good with Comparators, I would like the above to be answered so I can fully understand them.


texts:
When having your ranger selected and you move your cursor on the enemy tile you can choose which direction to attack from. Once the direction is locked in you would still have to select a weapon (i.e. sword) and confirm to attack. This used to work fine for me until now.

However, now selecting the weapon after locking in the direction will deselect the target and pick a random new target. Changing the target at this point means not getting to select a direction of attack again, but getting a preselected random one.

Selecting the weapon first doesn't allow one to pick the direction of attack.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

(note: it now spans multiple missions / reboots, so it doesn't seem to be going away by itself... my rangers just became basically unusable in melee)

I have done WvW for a while now so I know exactly how much karma each WvW event gives. When i used the Karma Boost, I did not see an increase in the karma from each event. Is the Karma boost actually working?


texts: Is it possible to measure the liquid amount in Quantum Tanks?

texts:
I started using Quantum Tanks to store my liquids (FTB Ultimate pack).  I use liquiducts to pipe the liquids from the Quantum Tanks to their target locations.

Is there a way to measure/display/meter the liquid level in Quantum Tanks?  I know I can walk up to it and right-click it to see the interface, but I am more interested in sending a signal when the amount of liquid gets below/above a set point.  I'm guessing it is not possible, but I thought I would ask in case someone had a solution.


texts:
I downloaded and installed version 0.29.2 of pokemon go on my Android phone, running lollipop. The app works fine most of the time, however, when I open the app without a WiFi connection (with mobile data on and working), it gets stuck on around 20% on the loading screen and doesn't budge.

The app works when I open it with a Wi-Fi connection and then leave Wi-Fi range or turn off Wi-Fi after it has passed the loading screen. However, the app will not pass the loading screen without WiFi. (Edit: Hotspots don't work either)

I've tried all the usual solutions - restarting, clearing cache, reinstalling, turning off and on mobile data. None of them work.

Any idea how I can start the app when I'm not in WiFi range?

texts: Using PC controllers with XInput on a 360?

texts: I own 2 pc controllers, 1 redgear pro wireless and 1 redgear pro wired. I was wondering if there was a way to connect them to my ol' xbox 360? I read that controllers that use XInput work in  this  thread and I know that these use XInput. However when I connect them directly to the 360 they don't work at all. Is there any workaround or way for me to connect them to a 360? Any help is appreciated!

texts: How can I connect my wireless Xbox 360 controller to my Galaxy Tab 3 8.4?

texts:
I tried to follow this solution, but the problem is that my device is a Galaxy Tab 3, not a Galaxy S6.

I am connecting the receiver to the tablet using an OTG cable (which works, because I tried a mouse with it). The XBOX 360 wireless controller is just not pairing up with the receiver, the lights keeps flashing.

The problem with the solution I tried is that I cannot run the command:

cp Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl

Because the file Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl does not exist. There are files with similar names but I don't know which one I have to copy and probably even it needs a different renaming... I don't know. Does anyone know which file I need to use?

Or is there an easier solution?

Am I missing something? Will she contact me later to offer a payout when her research has concluded? I anticipated a reward for defeating all of the Cyberpsychos but nothing seems to have happened.


texts:
How do you put a delay in the middle of command?
I'm making a TNT run (without TNT) and my issue is, when you start TNT run and you start jumping, sometimes a command block will register the block under you and delete it, and sometimes it will happen even before you will jump again, so you will fall to another layer/void instantly without making a mistake.
Here is the command that I'm using:
/execute as @a[distance=..100] at @a[distance=..100] if block ~ ~-0.5 ~ cyan_terracotta run setblock ~ ~-0.5 ~ air

(command block  is "unconditional" and mode is "repeat (purple)")
All I want is just a delay; for example, half a second between "command block realised there is cyan_terracotta under player" and "setting block air under player" to let the player jump before falling down the layer.

After everything is done (every area unlocked, every building upgraded to max) is there any benefit to be getting more villages for Norende?

texts: Counterstrike Global Offensive Danger Zone: How many bullets to kill a drone?

texts:
Recently Counterstrike Global Offensive came out with a game mode called Danger Zone which is their spin on battle royale.

There is an interesting mechanic where you can buy items and a drone delivers a package to you. This drone gets spawned randomly on the map on the outside and flies to you meaning other players can shoot it to take your loot or you can follow the drone to find the player.

Perhaps I'm just bad but I can't really confirm how many bullets it takes to shoot down a drone. It seems to teeter and fall a little but then goes and continues to fly again.

Does anybody know? Or any other methods to shoot down the drones?


texts:
I'm running the latest verison of Minecraft (1.11.2) based on this video. The way it's supposed to work (at least in theory) is the mobs spawn in a dark area, wander into water flow, and then drop down and die. Then you harvest their loot and that's it. Problem is that with my farm it spawns the mobs but they don't seem to go into the water and drop down and die.

What is the issue? Do I need to make them see me to get them moving somehow or what do I have to do to fix it?

Video of my farm:

NOTE: The area is dark but due to my shader being bugged and having night vision on it lets in light butt that should not prevent the mob farm from not working.


texts: Unable to complete Thieves Guild quests/achievement when selling the armor given to you?

texts:
Basically the same question as this:
Where can I get Thieves' Guild armour?

However, I know damn well where I sold my armor - the fence that now wants it!  I can't get it back, help!

I've tried:

Pickpocketing her (she doesn't have it)
Adding via console.  I got the item id's here:
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Armor

I get 'Item X Added', yet it doesn't actually show up in my inventory.  I'm running:

player.additem 00036584 1

I also found this:
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Thieves_Guild_(faction)#Fences

Notes:

  (IMPORTANT!) When you obtain the Thieves Guild Armor DO NOT SELL IT!
  Otherwise Tonilia will not be able to upgrade it.
  She will continuely ask to upgrade it and no other dialogue options will be available.
  Not only will you lose her as a fence, but you will not receive the Achievement/Trophy (One with the Shadows) of Restoring the Thieves Guild. This is because Tonilia is the last objective.

Anyone know why I can't add this item via console?

Combine both, and you have my issue: the red bar goes above the settings button, making it impossible to reach. Tapping on top of it does nothing.

texts: Why does my Xbox 360 controller take minutes to connect?

texts:
I bought a controller with the Transforming D-Pad some time ago, and I love it. However, this controller has a growing problem, it takes minutes (around 2-3 minutes at least) to pair with the 360.

If I use the controller to turn on the 360, the system turns on as expected, but the controller still doesn't pair with the system any faster.

Today, using my Harmony Remote, I turned on the system, and hit the Xbox button on the controller as soon as the 360 was displaying video on my TV. I used the remote to sign in, and start the game (retail/disc). The game fully loaded and was waiting for me to press start. I was still waiting on the controller to pair in order for me to be able to press start.

A disc-based game loaded, got through all of it's mandatory logo screens, and I still had to wait 30 seconds to a minute at the press start screen before the controller could do anything.

It seems like the pair delay is getting longer and longer each day, but this just may be circumstantial.

The first question is: Is there a way for me to resolve this pair delay? I have tried re-associating the controller with the system and nothing seems to have changed.

The second question is: Does the pattern/timing of the lights flashing on the controller correspond to anything specific? Anything that can be used to diagnose whatever this problem is? I have noticed when the blink rate is faster, and at a constant rate.

texts:
I have already seen tutorials on Minecraft regarding dynamic lighting, but none of them seem fancy enough.

What I'm thinking of is a way to make dynamic lighting that is clean and not destructive.

I looked at this video, and some other videos do the trick mentioned as well, but as pointed out in this one here, using a block that emits light overhead has its disadvantages, mainly due to other blocks interfering with the light source.

There are also ones with the blindness/night-vision combo, but they nowadays produce pitch blackness (which is where I am not intending to go to.).

As stated in the title, I am trying to do this without the following:

Mods/Shaders
Resource Packs*

Is there any way to do this while avoiding the above and if also, something relatively small?

NOTE: As stated by @Fabian, resource packs are vanilla, but I'm trying to do this with the default pack.

texts:
On the main screen, there's options to vote for the Senate and the World Council, which the game says will globally affect players. However, it doesn't specify how often you get to vote for a new initiative or president.
The descriptions are vague, saying that "frequent" votes take place for the Senate, and new presidents are appointed on a "regular" basis.
For example, this is the current Senate vote.

As you can see, some of the bonuses are quite good, but I'm wondering how long these bonuses will last before new ones are cycled in.

texts: How to handle the swiss-cheese like caverns?

texts:
This is quite possibly a nitpicking issue, but one of the issues I currently face is that the cavern layers aren't open spaced and instead are composed of several columns of rock, resembling some sort of swiss-cheese (or labyrinthic) situation.

Those columns are more problematic than helpful. They block LOS (as such my markdwarfves efficiency is diminished), them make pathing slightly complicated and overall don't allow me to grasp the dimensions of the cavern layers (i.e. how one goes to reach a position).

My current attempts of dealing with this were to simply mine the columns. This turned out to be disastrous, as several floors collapsed on top of my miners, killing most.

I want to know if there are ways to handle this efficiently or if I'm caring too much about meaningless detail.

texts:
Before you could cancel auctions anytime, you could infer if an item had been bought.
Make a search to that shows it.
Make the same search later, if the item is no longer here, it has been sold!

For example: you search a ring that is at 2h23min remaining time. 1 hour later, you perform the same search and the ring is not here: it has been sold.

Now that you can cancel any auction anytime, you can not be so sure. The only sure way to know what people are willing to pay for an item is to watch auctions : you know a minimum amount that the item will sell for.

I am asking that to better know the market and not being fooled by overpriced items.

texts: How can I tell Mercer Frey to kindly buzz off?

texts:
At a point in the Thieve's Guild questline, Mercer Frey accompanies you to a dungeon. He has no dialogue other than one unimportant option, so you cannot ask him to stop following you. After several tries, I decided that the dungeon included in the quest is too hard to clear, so I'd like to level up before continuing. However, since Mercer won't stop following me, he continues to screw up my play style (as a sneak Illusion-type character), alerting people of my presence by opening doors that I've closed, standing in line-of-sight, etc.

He's very annoying. Without the aid of a mod, is there a console command or other way to tell him to buzz off while not breaking the quest when I chose to return to it?

texts:
In Untrusted, I got to Level 7, where I can get the phone, and create my own JS function. I saw from the demo that I can change the colour! Great! So I figured I'd write a nested if... then statement, saying if I'm one colour, switch to the next! Apparently, that does not work.

I then tried to change my colour to white (#fff), thinking the collision check would accept white as all colours, and open the locks. What can I put in this function to change me as needed?


texts: How are dispatched the weapons and pieces of stuff through the levels?

texts:
I'm pretty sure that the harder a level is, the better the stuff found inside will be.
For instance, the first 5 levels of the normal mode will only unveil weapons for level 1 to 10 (approximately), while the first 5 levels of the insane mode will unveil level 50 weapons.

But does anyone know how random the stuff is dispatched through the levels ?  Is it possible that a specific level 50 weapon can be found in different levels ?  Or is it carried FOR SURE by one of the monsters of a specific level (and in this case, if you really want that weapon, you'll have to re-play the level until you get lucky and drop the weapon) ?

The reason why I'm asking that is that I've almost finished the game but there are still plenty of holes in my invertory because I've never found some of the equipment pieces and weapons.

texts:
I'm of the impression that they have the same spawn rules as the rest of the hostile mobs. IE: the place has to be sufficiently dark... and that's about it. (they obvoiusly would have to 'fit' where the game places them as well)

The reason behind the question is I almost always (say 80% of the time) have spiders spawning along the outside of the east wall of my house, and there seems to be no reason or rhyme to it beyond that. Its ALWAYS spiders, the house is equally lit along all sides on the outside and in. I am unable to provide screenshots unfortunately, but to help give you an idea of the terrain, my house is surrounded by a 2 block deep and 2 block wide trench, with a one block wide 'balcony' directly outside my wall. the trench is surrounded by a fence. I'm stumped. The east exterior is exactly the same as the west exterior. there should be no reason for this.

I'm aware that supposedly spiders could spawn outside my territory and 'hop' over the fence and get in, but why always the east side? I have no problems anywhere else. And why is it only spiders? If it was somehow a lighting issue I should be getting mobs of all kinds shouldn't I?

texts: Can't reset PS3 Super Slim (won't beep more than once)

texts:
It's been a few months since I played for the the last time. Yesterday I decided to play and realized video stopped working (don't know why, haven't changed cables or anything).

Then I tried changing ports and HDMI cables, but with no success. I read some tutorials to hard reset the console, but every time I try, I can't succeed because it won't beep more than once.

This is what should happen:

This is what's happening:

In other words, when I hold down power button while turning the console on it makes a first beep (okay), and after 5 seconds I should listen to a second beep and then to a third after a few more seconds. I can only hear the first beep. It won't work even if I hold the button longer. That means I can't reset.

Can anyone help me with that, please?

texts: Activate clock only when command block output is true

I'm using a comparator to test if it is true, then a repeater to extend to 16 redstone then with that 16 redstone I use it to activate a comparator clock but when I'm not looking south the very 1st comparator doesn't turn off.

texts: The Save Replay button is gone in Warcraft III: TFT

texts:
After each game, the "victory" screen is displayed, which contains statistics about how many units you have killed etc. At the bottom of this screen, there is supposed to be a "Save Replay" button. Since I have downloaded the latest patch, however, I am unable to save replays. The "Automatically save replays" options also does not save replays (i.e. after a game, there is no replay with the name LastReplay).

I have just reinstalled the game. I noticed that before I downloaded the update, the "Save Replay" button was available, but after downloading the update it no longer shows up.

Does anybody else have this issue? Is there some way to fix this?

texts: Is it even worth picking up weapons in the campaign?

texts:
I've been through the first couple of chapters of the campaign, while constantly picking up and trying out any weapon dropped by enemies. So far, I haven't found a single weapon that was noticeably better than the ones I started with. In fact, most were distinctly worse.

So I ask to the members who have already finished the campaign: were there moments in the game were you picked up a weapon that was undoubtedly better than your original one? Was there a pickup, at any point, that made you glad you were picking up everything? Or should I just give up trying out every new weapon I find?


texts:
So Kane pretty much drives the tiberian universe and is an enigmatic leader who keeps comming back no matter what. When Tiberian Twillight was announced they said they would resolve Kane's story and finally explain who and what he really was. By the end of the game you still have no answers and actually have a few more questions.

As far as I can tell, Kane seems to be an alien but different from the Scrin. He has lived for hundreds of years and is alluded to having started the whole Kane and Able story in the Bible, so potentially there was another alien with Kane when he ended up on earth.

What we know (tiberian universe related, Red Alert is probably not canon for tiberian Kane):

Kane was helping humanity develop (and tries to develop them into cyborgs on occasion).
Kane knew about Tiberium before it landed, and knew how to chemically work with it before anyone else giving him a massive share in the world economy
The Tacitus warns of the Scrin, meaning this is another alien race. Kane is likely an alien of this race, possibly exiled or stranded.
Kane is unnatrually resiliant, much more than the Scrin. The Canon version of the first game is that Kane gets almost directly hit by the Ion canon and somehow survives. He also gets stabbed through and shot.
Kane from after Tiberian Firestorm might actually be Cabal who is seen changing its voice and appearance on screen to Kane's while a Kane in a vat (clone or the surviving real one) is in the foreground. Alternative is that Kane uploaded himself prior to getting hit by the Ion canon and used Cabal's form. Or as is assumed by the wiki Cabal is just an AI and managed to save Kane.

More info: http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Kane

So what is he? Where does he come from? Whats his real story?

texts: Transferring data from Xbox 360 to Xbox One WITHOUT XBOX LIVE

texts:
When I signed up for Xbox Live as requested by my son, I purchased it stupidly via my Microsoft account. I assumed that the Live benefits would apply to all the accounts on the Xbox. They don't. My son got an Xbox One and wants to transfer his game data from the Xbox 360, but since his account isn't linked to the Xbox Live account, he can't upload his data to the cloud (in order to then download it onto the Xbox One from the cloud).

I want to know if there's a way to transfer the Xbox Live membership to his account.

He suggested getting a one-month Xbox Live membership just on his account so that then he could do this transfer, but I'd like to find out if there's another way (there has to be another way) first.

Also, I've described the situation to the best of my understanding. If something doesn't make sense, I've gotten this information from an excited 12-year-old boy, so please ask me questions so that I can clarify them.

texts: When talking to the townspeople, do I have to finish the conversation to earn full friendship points?

texts:
In Stardew Valley, one of the main objectives is to make friends with as many of the villagers as possible. One way to do this is by talking to them every day. As per the wiki, speaking with other villagers earns you 20 friendship points per person per day.

Usually, once you've talked to a villager for the day, you will be unable to talk to them again for the rest of the day (the speech bubble icon will not appear when mousing over them). However, some villagers will occasionally have multi-part dialogs, where you can talk to them a few times in a row as they elaborate on things they just said (for example, Penny explaining how it's difficult to keep her house clean without help from her drunken mother, a conversation which consists of 4 distinct dialogs, each of which you have to re-click on Penny for). My question is, do you get the full 20 points immediately after the first dialog, or do you have to finish the full conversation to get the points?


texts: How long will a trapped animal stay or live in a trap?

texts:
I like to use a lot of traps for rabbits, but also for frogs and spiders occasionally.

Often I'll setup a lot in areas near my base camp with rabbit holes, because the traps provide a steady stream of crock-pot ready meat.  Eventually, however, I find myself managing a large number of traps, that I sometimes don't need immediately.

This leads me to wonder how long I can leave something in a trap and what happens to the trapped creature when that time runs out?

texts: Is there a way of moving unwanted villagers out faster?

texts:
Is there any way to speed up this process or indirectly 'force a villager to move out'?

I know they move out if it's time for a new one to move in, and I know you can't actually 'force' them persay.

I have a villager who has caused nearly all my other villagers to wear his.. rather hideous 'kiddie shirt'. ((the character's default shirt)) Aside from that his home blocks the perfect spot, very close to my river, for building a convenient bridge...

I've taken to pushing him, hitting him with a net, and I've been trying to find a Toy Hammer...
He wanted to leave once and I told him to go, but then he said he wouldn't leave until I, "made an effort to get to know him" or some BS..

Are there any other ways I can get an unwanted, 'pesty', villager to leave town?


texts: Why do my friends' and my pets keep despawning?

texts: So, I spawn some zombie Piglins and/or Slimes because they're cute.

They chill in my base for a couple days and then randomly disappear but it's like only 1 or 2 that disappear of the multiple zombie Piglins or Slimes (I don't have more than 5 of them in the base at once, so I know that it isn't entity cramming). So, why does this happen? My graveyard is getting too full too quick and My friends yell at me when they come online and their pets are gone because it happens for them too. (This is in realms btw)


texts: Why don't vanilla Minecraft "Exp Shops" work when Single Player Commands is installed?

texts:
An Exp Shop is a button that, when pressed, will give you items in exchange for a set amount of exp. You build one by placing a button on a wall, and putting two repeaters and command blocks behind it. Here is a diagram:

 b  = button
[ ] = wall
 r  = repeater
[c] = command block

 b [ ] r [c] r [c]

In the first command block, you give the player the item if they have enough xp: give @p[lm={XP}] {ITEM ID} {QUANTITY}.  In the second command block, you take xp from them: xp -{XP}L @p[lm={XP}]

The problem is that when single player commands are installed, it will take xp from the player but it won't give them the item. If single player commands are not installed, it works perfectly.

Is there a way to make it work both with and without single player commands?

texts: What's the effective difference between a Steam Wallet Code and a Steam Gift Card

texts:
I read the Steam description of the difference in their knowledge base, but it didn't actually clarify anything for me. In both cases you end up with a code that one can use to add money to one's Steam wallet, correct?

I have a slight preference for a wallet code instead of a gift card because I noticed that the sites that are selling wallet codes online seem to have a $30 denomination, which is what I prefer. Gift cards only come in $20 and $50. I've noticed that the sites selling wallet codes seem to all be overseas for some reason, which makes me a little bit leery as to their legitimacy.

texts: Most efficient way to move Goblinite down many z-levels?

texts:
I have several magma smelters and forges, located right on top of a pool of naturally occurring magma (i.e., quite deep). It's a long haul to go from the surface where most of these items reside, to the magma work-area, and I have a large number of items to move. What's the most efficient way to get these items melted down? Things I've considered:

Dig a new 1x1 shaft all the way down from the surface, with a hatch cover; then designate a dump zone next to the shaft and mark all the goblinite for dumping. I haven't done this yet, as I am afraid that the dropped items will explode/shatter when they hit bottom, injuring my magma-smithy workforce, or become damaged to the point of being unmeltable (can that happen?)
Setup a minecart route of some kind. I am in progress on this, it is an unpowered route
Setup a multi-minecart chute system I just came up with this, not sure on viability. How durable are minecarts if you drop them from a great height?
Setup a pair of stockpiles, one on the surface that accepts all the things I want to melt, and one in the forge area that only takes from the surface pile, and assign wheelbarrows/bins appropriately. This seems surefire to work, but possibly very slow

texts: Freshly installed RIFT only shows a throne room

texts:
I wanted to play RIFT, but I can't get it to work. After installing it, the only thing I see is a throne room with a nice music. There's a cursor, but nothing else. No key seems to work, either.

I've tried the following:

Nuke & reinstall (multiple times, with re-download of 10+ Gib of "patch").
Restarting the computer.
Searching the RIFT forums, support and google in general. There's a mention of someone having similar problems, but that is a red herring.
Changing server, windowed mode.
Downloading (apparently) different versions of the bootstrap client (RIFT-Install-0-98lu20.exe and RIFT-Install.exe).
Accessing as a guest and as a registered user.
Made sure I have a working OS with enough horsepower

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX
Gaming graphics 4095 MB Total available graphics memory
Primary hard disk 131GB Free (349GB Total)
Windows 8 Pro

I would assume there's a way of actually playing this game. Has anyone experienced this and found a way of fixing it?

Update 11-aug:

Sometimes now I get flashing colored rectangles on the screen (a movie which plays in a broken way?). Pressing Esc sends me to the throne room.

I've found a "Loading Screen Freeze" article on the NVidia support site, but it isn't very helpful and the suggested fix does not work at all.

I've upgraded my NVidia drivers to the latest version. The drivers include a utility which automatically configures games to a supported standard. In my case it did discover RIFT and configured it. No change in behaviour.

texts: How do I consistently shove and tackle people in Assassin's Creed on the PC?

texts:
I just recently started playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on the PC. When I started Sequence 2, there is a mission where I have to tackle a guy who stole my money. I keep chasing him, but I can't find a reliable way to tackle him.

The "Shift" key contextually changes from "Shove" to "Tackle" but I can never manage to consistently execute the tackle. In general, I leave it up to chance and somehow I get it to trigger. I also can't figure out how to shove people either. Usually I just end up falling into them and tripping.

I had this same problem in Assassin's Creed 2, but I managed to get through the whole game without really needing to perform either of these moves.

texts: NPCs in Dragon Quest XI S say that Drasilian coins are the only item I don’t need to hold onto, I can sell them all. Is this correct or do I need them for a quest or crafting later?


texts: Is trading a cost-effective way to get diamond tools?

texts:
I finally decided to play around with Minecraft's trading system, and wanted to get some diamond tools. So I made a bunch of written books, and went to find a Librarian to trade with. He wouldn't take them. The only offer he had was for regular books (or maybe paper, I forget). Back to the crafting table. Eventually, he changed up his offers to the point where he would trade me written books for emeralds - I had my first emerald!

That went on half a dozen or so time, until apparently he'd had his fill of books, and no new offer types appeared.

Which got me to wondering, is trading worth it? For non-enchanted items like diamond tools, would it be faster just to mine for diamonds, than trying to get all the little things needed to trade, hoping you can trade them, and the person doesn't get tired of them...


texts: What buildings can I leave unprotected without problem?

texts:
Are there buildings that I can leave outside my walls, unprotected, without having to worry about them?

Basically, what buildings have the smallest impact when they are destroyed in an attack?


texts: I just got the Melon-pult which costs 300 sun. However since pults fire at a 1/2 rate, it has the same effect as a reapeater ( reapeater has 40  dps while melon pult has 80 dps but fires half as fast ) but with splash damage. A reapeater costs 200 sun so is the extra 100 sun used for splash really worth it?


texts:
As mentioned in my previous question, I have not played quite some leagues.

Noiw, I am trying to explore some of the content that has been added to the main game, but the Delve content is not exactly clear to me.

In a situation like the following:

Where should I look for a fractured wall? I have tried to look all around the hidden location, but the minimap marker never came up.

I am exploring dark passages using flares and try to approach the hidden location from various directions.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to determine where the fractured wall will/should be?


texts: I used to have my phone in spanish, but then I got the new update and changed my phone to english, and ever since then SAM won't progress. It always stays at day 1 and because of that I can get SAM every single run I do. It's great being able to get the extra 500 coins every game, but how do i make it move on to the next day rewards?

texts: Why did I get insurance payout without dying?

texts:
I just played a solo round of Phasmophobia on Professional difficulty, correctly identified the ghost and left within a few minutes, all without ever getting any ghost activity higher than Lv 2. Despite this, when finishing the mission, I got $10 insurance payout. Why?

From my understanding, insurance gives you 50% of the money of lost equipment on Amateur difficulty and 25% money back on intermediate difficulty upon death. Professional is supposed to pay out nothing.

Edit: I played three more solo games, two on Amateur difficulty, one on Intermediate, and all three rewarded $10 insurance payout despite me not dying.
