texts: I'm new to X and Y and I'm a bit confused about how EV works. Let's say I have two Gyarados, one at level 20 and the other at level 70. If I EV train them the same way so that they have the same EV spreads and suppose they have the same nature and IVs, will they have the same stats at level 100? Now suppose that the one at level 70 was previously EV trained and I just changed his spread to match the one at level 20. Would this change the answer?


texts: How can I upgrade my units with the Ikanda

texts:
I didn't get at all how to use the Ikanda by the in game pedia. In this page, it says
"[units] have access to the special upgrade path when built in a city with an Ikanda". Is it the only way to receive the Ikanda's bonuses, by creating military units within the city with the Ikanda? It also says, "if you manage to acquire all three promotions of the chain, you will get a very nice army!". How do I "manage to acquire" the promotions?
Thanks.

texts:
Okay, I did everything for her to live: I met her 3 times, warned her about Kai Leng, (which happens automatically when you meet up with her via video conference in the Spectre Office), and also I gave her the Alliance resources.

I didn't romance her in 2 or 3 because my Shepard is female and, I'm sure we're friends. In my ME2 save, she was loyal and survived the Suicide mission.

I chose the paragon option when I met Henry Lawson. He let Oriana go but Miranda still dies. I also tried the exact same thing but with choosing the Renegade option at the end, to no avail.

So I went far back to my save where FemShep just finish the mission about the Catalyst and Kai Leng stole that Prothean Tech. I thought how quickly you do the Sanctuary mission affected the outcome of Miranda's life - either she dies or lives, but that didn't do anything.

So here, I searched up all the possible ways and the topics on Miranda surviving. I even went to Youtube for that and even searched for cheats but really, nothing came up. Is there something I'm missing?

texts: How do I change one of the enchantment levels of an item to a scoreboard value

texts:
I am trying to set up a system on a server I run for my friends where they can trade certain items for points, which can then be traded in for another score representing a certain enchantment and its level which can then be added onto an item of choice. The score system I had no trouble setting up, but I can't seem to get adding the enchantments onto the item from the scoreboard correct
Keeping in mind that I don't want this to be limited to Minecraft's max enchantment values and be unlimited like when giving enchantment nbt to something in a give command. How do I do this? Is there a better way of doing the system that achieves the same thing but in an easier way?
To be clear I do not want a hard-coded solution, I need something dynamic that works with every possible short.
It doesn't need to be edited in the inventory, just edited and returned to the player in some way, even if it means putting it in a chest for them to grab or something along those lines

edit: To clarify, I'm asking about after I agree to "stop settling cities near [them]". What I want to know is where I am permitted to settle a city without breaking the agreement.


texts: What are the rules for the "fresh" (?) score on Splatoon2

texts:
There's a score on Splatoon2 which only appears before you play Turf Wars,

The rules seem to be roughly:

If you win a lot of games, it goes up slowly
If you lose games, it goes down very quickly

For example, I won 10-15 games of Turf and it got up to about 20. However I then lost one game, and it decreased all the way to 12.

I think (but I'm not certain) your individual play seems to affect it as well as win/loss.  (I don't know what affects it - kills? coverage?)
I think (but I'm not certain) if you have a DC on your team it does not go down when you lose (same as in Ranked)

Finally I do not know the proper name of this score.

Does anyone know the actual rules of this score?

texts:
I recently got Battlefield 4, and started playing through the campaign. There's a feature that lets you tell your squad when to "engage" the enemy. The tutorial at the beginning describes this in a way that implies that this will result in my allies helping me kill the enemies.

I see my allies shooting, but there doesn't appear to be any effect. This also seems to be the case when not "engaging". I don't know how many times I've shot someone a couple times, saw that my allies were right behind me, and moved up, expecting them to finish him. I turn around, and there are three guys shooting him, and nothing is happening. Not only does he not die, he ignores them and turns and continues to shoot at me.

Do my allies actually do anything?

So, any suggestion how to quickly raise my staff count? Currently my method is free roaming with Quiet and have her stuns all soldiers with Cover Me/Guilty Butterfly combination.

texts:
I'm not sure, but it seems like the requirements for valid housing have changed in Terraria 1.2.

I usually build a big central chamber like in the image below, but since the 1.2 patch this setup doesn't work. The query tool give the "This is not valid housing" message.

The room is enclosed by bricks and platforms. It has a door, chair, table, background walls and light sources. This was usually enough for valid housing.

Have the requirements for valid housing changed in Terraria 1.2? If so, what are the new requirements? Or am I just doing it wrong?

Edit/Answer:

For those that don't find any answer in the "duplicate" question: Rooms have a max size. The exact maximum is elusive since there are a lot of variables. This forum post has a nice guide about house size.


texts: My SNES keeps erasing my DK-Country 3 saves

texts:
So, SNES Donkey Kong Country 3 keeps deleting my saves. First we noticed that the game has erased one of the earlier saves (game is my cousins, I'm just borrowing it) and one night when we were about to try again the second to last stage the game had erased our save. Well, we started again and got as far as before with no problems in saving. My friend finally got through it and I was so happy that I accidentally ripped my controller off SNES. Of course SNES didn't response and we had no option but to restart. And again the save had been deleted. This has happened few times before, when the controller comes off, the save erases itself also.. The weird thing is that there is one of my cousins saves that have survived through all this so I think it can't be about the batteries... I have a PAL version. I don't know if it matters.

Does anyone have the same problem and/or know how to fix it? Or at least where's the problem? My SNES doesn't do this with any other game, just this one.

Or is there possibly some weird difference to cater for the PC audience, or perhaps some bad porting issues?

I'm certainly expecting this to be a no, but I just can't find any info on it.

For bonus points, would anybody recommend getting FIFA 12 PC for learning FIFA 13 Xbox? I'm not expecting to be a masterclass, my main goal is to learn the control schemes, but obviously the closest it can be to the Fifa 13 Xbox the better.

THanks!

texts: Compare crafted item with offhand in Diablo 3 on consoles?

texts:
When crafting new weapons for my Monk, which is currently dual-wielding (still levelling up), I can only compare the crafted item with my mainhand weapon.

Is there a way for me to switch and compare with the offhand weapon as well? Right now I have to exit the crafting system and enter the inventory to compare, and then go back into the crafting system.

I think I remember that I could hold Alt on PC to show the offhand item as well (or the second ring if I'm doing rings), but is this possible on the console version?

This is the Xbox One version, if that matters.

So, is there a way to directly search for the +Damage stat on a ring?

texts: How can I change my character's Dragon Age: Origins backstory in Dragon Age 2 without having to replay lots of the game?

texts:
I'm at the last chapter of Dragon Age 2 when I read somewhere online that my last choice for the Witch Hunt DLC didn't carry over to DA 2 if I wasn't patched. So I tried recreating my save and starting a new game, but halfway through the first chapter I realized that going through ALL those repetitive dungeons for 3 chapters again might not be worth it.

I have a gut feeling that the backstory for my DA 2 character and its influences from DA:O is just stored in the character file. Is there a way for me to change one particular event from my DA:O backstory (particularly, the part where I leave with Morrigan through the mirror) so that I won't have to go through the whole game again?


texts: Who should I appoint regents and partners?

texts:
In Massive Chalice, you can appoint a regent and a partner to a keep. However, there is no explanation of what to look for in a suitable couple, other than to remember that they will be retired from combat.

In the default list, they are sorted by experience ... but I don't know if it's actually important.

As far as I can tell, their only purpose is to breed new heroes. Therefore, I tend to pick people with good traits and fertility, and ignore their attributes alltogether. I pick the "best" one as the regent, and the second best one as their mate.

However, I've read other places that the regent is the "dominant" one, but I don't know to what degree. Does it influence their class? Does the partner have any influence at all?

What considerations should I keep in mind, when appointing regents and partners?

texts: Does Accel World vs. Sword Art Online follow the established gameverse timeline, and how intertwined are the storylines?

texts:
As far as I know, the main Sword Art Online games that were released over the past couple of years all follow an alternate timeline in which the players of SAO were kept in Aincrad after Kirito defeated Heathcliff and had to finish the remaining 25 levels. I would like to know if the new crossover game Accel World vs. Sword Art Online follows that timeline and which parts of the storypool of both series it is based on. To break this question down a bit:

Is AW vs. SAO set in the same timeline of the rest of the gamerverse? If so, can the story stand on it's own or will I miss out if I play AW vs. SAO without having played any of the previous games?
What parts of the story pool of Sword Art Online and Accel World does the game relate to? Is it rather a standalone that borrows characters and locations from both series? Or does it have a definite standing in the main timelines of either series and/or belong to a story arc of one of them?
I have watched both seasons of SAO and the one season of Accel World as well as some of the spinoffs and OVAs. I haven't seen Accel World Infinite Burst or SAO Ordinal Scale. I have read the SAO aincrad & fairy dance mangas as well as parts of the Accel World manga and it's spinoff Accel World / dural. Is that a sufficient basis (story-wise) for playing AW vs. SAO, or does the game's story line heavily depend on any specific spinoff or lightnovel that I should read/watch before playing it?

Sorry for the convoluted question, feel free to answer in whatever format you find appropriate. Short answers are also welcome if they answer the core of the question. Thanks!

I've completed the game, and I'm wondering/hoping if I missed something important connected with this fascinating creature of the developers' imagination.

   We know that Songbird was protector of Elizabeth and her only so called friend.
 It was summoned by flute music. Songbird was nearly unstoppable - killing him by drowning in Rapture depths shows that. His death also reveals that it had violet blood. Songbird's eye colour depends from its mood there was green - peaceful, yellow - alarmed and red - aggressive.

How was it created? Does it eat anything? Was it originally human?

Am I too curious and I should accept that this is only a game and some questions aren't going to be answered?

I've never played Bioshock 1 or 2 so I don't know anything about the Big Daddies.

So I was wondering, do item frames and the items they contain act like "ablative armour" and absorb the shock of the explosion or was it just weird luck that my house wasn't destroyed (the walls and floor are all wood and glass).

In Hanamura there's a "ledge" above the right-hand side of Point B. Some characters can get up there themselves whether they're on attack or defense. If you have time between waves, Mei can use a wall to get defenders up there.

Genji (wall climb)
Pharrah
Reaper (teleport)
Hanzo (wall climb)
Junkrat (landmine)
Mei (build a wall under myself next to it)
Widowmaker (grapple)
D.Va
Winston
Mercy (leaping to ally)

(I wasn't able to get up there with Lucio wall ride, but I suspect it's possible).

I just made a "Hunter's Vest", but the game didn't ask me to automatically equip it. When I went to my stash to try to equip manually, I got this message.

I want to be able to testfor the collective amount of people with the a scoreboard that adds up to a certain amount. Example: On singleplayer, the one person playing will have 10 points, but on multiplayer, 2 people will have 5 points making a collective score of 10 Points. Is it possible to testfor this?

texts: Does Shen carry targeted/delayed attacks when he ults?

texts:
This is a question of how Shen ult works

If fizz shoots his shark at shen when he ults a weak ally does, the shark go with him and knockup him and his protected ally or does it just fizzle?

If Lee sin lands sonic wave on him and uses resonating strike, and Shen disappears while he is flying, does lee sin follow him or stop where he sonic striked?

Does Zilean bombs carry through the ultimate teleport?

I know that for most hit scan spells, do fly to target even if they leave range, i.e. Janna's Zephyr, I assume its same for Shen?


texts: What is the maximum server View-Distance?

texts:
I read on some threads (older), that the maximum server view-distance is at 15 (rings of chunks around you).

I tried 32 and it worked. My client won't render further than 32. Is it still possible to surpass this value, if you increase the server view-distance? On the server side it shouldn't make much of a difference because mobs will despawn after they are 128 blocks away from you. The additional traffic will be caused by sending additional "static" chunks, that won't create much lag as I suppose.

On the client side: Why is there a max of 32? Does that make any sense? In the end, it's the user's fault if he wants more but doesn't have the hardware to do it.

texts:
I have not opened up my Minecraft launcher for nearly a year. However, when I updated to Minecraft 1.6.2 and the new launcher recently, every server I attempt to connect to seems to have some kind of problem, leaving me with this every time I try to connect to any server:

I have checked and double checked every server and they are definitely up to date and my internet connection is working. I also guarantee you that my launcher is the official Minecraft launcher and I am playing online with a premium account.

texts: Does Akarat's Champion death-preventing effect actually work or is it bugged?

texts:
I am trying to find out if I can rely on the death-preventing effect of Akarat's Champion. I have read in several places online that it is possibly bugged, and it seemed to have been confirmed. However, I am thinking that perhaps it worked for them, but it wore off right when they died and made it seem like it didn't work.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a bug or not?

texts: What's the highest possible Sign intensity?

texts:
First of all I like to point out that I want to get the highest value without any conditions for it to trigger, so no "Focus" ability because it depends on adrenaline points. Also no temporary boosts like potions and decoctions.

Personally I believe it is achieved with following stuff:

All legendary (NG+) mastercrafted griffin items. Unfortunately I
don't know the stats for them yet. regular mastercrafted would be 70%
Sword sockets full with Greater Veles Runestones = 15%
Armor sockets full with all Greater (any) Glyphs.
3 in chest, 2 in legs, 1 in boots, 1 in gloves. Is 7 times 10 %
divided by 5 (because single element) = 14%
"Griffin School Techniques" ability = 20%
"Synergy" ability (see mutagens)
The 5 blue abilities that grant 15% for each element respectively = 15%
Fill the other abilities with other blue abilites
4 greater blue mutagens. Each normally gives 10% but because of "Synergy" 15% and also 15% for each blue ability. because of the 2 nonblue abilites we have = 60 + 60 + 60 + 30 = 210%

So now we have 344% sign intensity without legendary stats of griffin and from leveling up.

According to https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/373bus/sign_intensity_explained/ you can get 28.1% from leveling up. Don't know if this still is acurate with the latest patch and NG+ but this would lead us to 372.1% plus some from the legendary items.

Is my setup optimal? and if someone has the stats from legendary mastercrafted griffin that would be great, I can't find it online.

texts:
Does anyone know how exactly the reputation points are awarded in Kerbal Space Program?

I have read about reputation and know that it acts as a sort of currency. I also know that a 1000 points is the (theoretical) maximum reputation, which can probably never be achieved as the points awarded decrease "exponentially".

However, it is the nature of this decreasing amount of points that I am interested in. As I gain more and more reputation, how can I know or at least estimate how many points I will be awarded for my next mission? What is the exponent in this relationship or what is the actual mathematical dependence of reputation points awarded and current reputation level?

I thought that perhaps as I progress, the reputation awards for the contracts will transparently decrease and this will be evident when accepting a mission. However, it seems that I actually do not get the points that are listed in the Mission Control Centre, but rather some reduced amount. I seem to have been stuck around 800 (or 80 %) reputation for ever ...

Getting a good idea of how my reputation will progress is difficult for several reasons:

The graphical reputation bar is difficult to gauge and moves imperceptibly at this point.
The reputation summary showing the exact reputation after a successful mission is only available after completing manned missions, so I miss on what happened in between.

The purpose of this question is to get an idea of how far it is worthy to develop the reputation level (to get more and harder missions and better rewards, as per the wiki) and when to start trading it off for funds or science.

If this cannot be answered, here is an easier subquestion:
Does this magic formula for awarding reputation apply only for reputation gains or the losses too? That is, do I always lose 1 reputation point for declining a mission, regardless of my current reputation level?

texts: Replace normal block with same block that has a special property

texts:
I want to use a command block that detects if there is a gold block in the player's inventory and replace it with a gold block that can only be placed on grass.

Now, here is what I'm doing: I started a redstone clock which connects to a command block which has this command to clear all gold blocks.

clear @p gold_block

Then I have a comparator that takes that signal and points into another command block that gives the player a gold block that can only be placed on grass.

give @p gold_block 1 0 {CanPlaceOn:[grass]}

What happens is that this special gold block also gets removed by the previous command block. I've tried to give the gold block a name with the display tag, but I don't know how to configure the command to give the block both tags (Display & Can PlaceOn).

texts:
When I'm playing a match of me + 4 medium bots against 5 medium bots, I'm occasionally the worst player on my team by a fair margin (e.g. as a carry, I died 3 times in the beginning of the match and got absolutely no kills the entire match). However, I never lose to medium bots. If all medium bots have a skill of "10" and I never lose to them, then I must have a skill of greater than "10". However, if out of my team I get the least kills, assists, gold/min, and xp/min, and the most deaths, then I'd think my skill would be less than "10".

The only two explanations I can think of for this are

I contribute to the team a very large amount in ways other than killing the enemy team (unlikely, especially when I try to play as a hard carry.
The "medium" bots on my team are better than the "medium" on the enemy team, e.g. the enemy has bots with "9" skill, but the bots on my team have "10" skill to more than balance out my mere "7" skill.

Is there another explanation?

texts: Is there any way in Minecraft to detect who deposited a diamond into a chest using command blocks?

texts:
So far, I've been able to detect when a diamond is placed into a chest's inventory but how can I detect who placed that diamond?
I'd prefer not to use the nearest player because someone else could potentially be falsely identified. (I have a command chain that trades players emeralds in exchange for experience levels and it also sometimes robs random nearby players.)
Some context: I'm making a race to be the first to deposit a diamond. I could constrain the player accessing the chest and just check who is standing on a block, but if I did that, I could also just test the player's inventory directly. But that seems boring. Adding the chest adds to the drama, I feel. Like, if someone fumbles last minute and deposits dirt on accident, someone else could easily win, which is fun.
My command chain is currently:
if block x y z chest{Items:[{id:"minecraft:diamond"}]}
say Diamond Detected

Edit: The diamonds are mined and as such, I will not necessarily be able to tag them for each player. Another user suggested I could scan the inventories of the users at every tick and tag the diamonds in their inventory with their name. I don't know how to do this, though I believe this is the direction where I will find my answer.

I just tried to play Quake3 (QuakeLive) on a new laptop with an i3 core integrated GPU, running Ubuntu 10.10. Strangely, the performance was terrible. I'm running on intel driver, which seems to load correctly. I know it's not a high-end system, but I got used to Q3 being fairly playable on 3 year old built-in i850GM with single core CPU, which was obviously much worse.

After switching to i3, I get barely 5fps, even if I use very low resolutions (640x480 and similar).

What could affect the performance that much? What should I look for? There doesn't seem to be anything obvious in the Xorg logs, or my xsessionerrors.

I've just been informed that a settlement of mine — Sunshine Tidings Co-op — needed defending, so I went there and witnessed my turrets make short work of 3 of my settlers; it turns out they were synths.

With the synths dead and the problem solved, I decided it was time for me to move on. Only, after fast-travelling, I received a notice that I had failed to defend the settlement. And now, according to my Pip-Boy, Sunshine Tidings Co-op only has 3 settlers instead of the 14 I had left it with.

So I decided to load a previous save game and wait for the actual attack to happen. I kept waiting one hour at a time for about 24 hours, and the attack never came. So far, whenever I came to defend a settlement, I either ended up right in the middle of the assault, or the attackers appeared after a few seconds following my arrival.

I don't believe I can actually defend the settlement this time. But why not? Am I supposed to discover another synth in hiding? Should I build even more turrets there? Is there anything I can do to avoid losing almost all of my settlers?

texts: What clues can be used to find where the Blue Dragon is hidden?

texts:
Final Fantasy 6 is really amazing all around, but there are a few gameplay elements that seem a bit strange or unfair. Some of these I can chalk up to "Oh wow, I was not prepared for that, I should come back later when I've built up my stats." And I certainly respect including truly difficult challenges for players who want them.

There was one design choice that (at least to me) seemed over the top ridiculous. This is finding the Blue Dragon. I am not sure how to account for this one.

(This should not be much of a spoiler to the Arqade crowd at this point in time. Even if it was, it is discussed plainly on other sites.)

  To find the Blue Dragon, you much first go to the Ancient Castle (also hidden). Go into the throne room, stand next to the throne on the right, take five steps down, and press the action button (there is nothing on the floor to suggest the character can interact with something). A sound is heard, but nothing visibly changes. Exploring the next room, you will find a staircase has been revealed (previously, there was nothing there to indicate that something might be hidden there).

Are there any in-game clues about this location? Anything at all to hint that something might be hidden in this castle? This just seems horribly unfair in this context. Is there no way to find the Blue Dragon except by tedious floor-humping through the entire World of Ruin?

texts: Revoking bishoprics without opinion penalty

texts:
If I wanted to revoke a feudal title, I would usually go via: have spymaster discover a plot / have the vassal rebel -> imprison the guy -> revoke his feudal title (e.g. county). This way I don't get any opinion penalty from my other vassals.
This does not seem to work with religious (at least Catholic) titles. When I uncover plot by some bishop, imprison him and try to revoke his bishopric - this sill incurs opinion penalty.

texts: How to watch Replays with double click after copying the install folder to new computer?

I copied my Starcraft 2 install directory to a new computer, so I don't have to download all the patches again. Everything works fine, except when I double click on a Replay it does not open Starcraft 2.

I tried messing with the registry exporting some of entries from my main computer, but it does not work.

This problem has nothing to do with this question: playing sc2 replays with double click as it is solved, but it does not work for me.

I copied a recent replay from my replays folder into C:\Temp. I closed Starcraft 2. I doubleclicked the replay and got stuck in the Starcraft 2 main screen after logging in (where you select the game mode). This works on my main computer though and the replay starts as expected.

I even tried to open the replay in my console with the following command but it does not work either.

But I have played Skyrim, another Bethesda game, and in that game there were a ton of sounds that at first seemed to be meaningless that I later realised had a connection, like Nirnroots having their own eerie song.

Does the train horn sound mean anything or is it just random?


texts: Unofficial Skyrim Patch: Wearing a hooded robe and a dragon priest mask at the same time

texts:
When I do not have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch installed, I can wear the Archmage's Robes and Morokei at the same time (which is not a bug/glitch, it's intentional).

After installing the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, this combination is no longer possible. If I equip the one and then the other, the first gets unequipped like they are not compatible.

I can only guess the authors of the mod introduced this change as a reaction to this Skyrim bug:

  [PC] [360] While wearing the robes, Dragon Priest masks (such as Morokei and the Wooden Mask) might make the player's head invisible, to solve this, drop the robes and pick them up, or unequip the mask.

How can I make this combination possible without having to give up on the fixes introduced by the Unofficial Skyrim Patch?

texts: Selectively using * on scoreboard player commands

texts:
So I have a scoreboard objective called Timers. I want every element that has a score (not null) on that scoreboard to increase their value by one each tick.

What I mean by this is, I want the command below to run every tick, so that I don't have to increment scores individually.

scoreboard players add *[scores={Timers=..0..}] timers 1

But selector tags don't work with *. If I use * on its own, I will get extra scores that I don't want, for all players (fake or real) and all entities.

Basically, I want to set any score x to 0. When I do, it will start to increment by 1 each tick. But when I reset that score to null, I want that to stop.

I'm on Realms on 1.15.2.


texts: What could make a pet Titan just vanish?

texts:
My player is on L27 (the first level below the Valley) and I know that my pet titan (L24 192h p AC-15) was with me when I entered. Aside from a MMF at the far side of the maze, there were no monsters that posed a threat as far as I could tell through blindfolded ESP.  The level is mapped, and I hadn't moved very far at all before killing a barrow wight.  I used my magic whistle to see if the titan wanted the sword dropped by the wight. My other pets appeared, but the titan did not. I put on my blindfold and found no trace.  Even though titans can levitate and are highly magic-resistant, I did the due diligence of checking the Valley (one level up) and the four levels below by mapping, magic whistling, and blind ESP.  No sign. I returned to the level of the disappearance to search for a death drop, or some other clue (digging walls out, detecting objects, searching, and casting light in the half of the maze that we were in. Aside from a fire trap and a few pits, I couldn't find anything to cause his vanishing, nor any of his armor/weapons I knew he was carrying.

Am I overlooking something?  Is there some other reason for the disappearance?  If it matters, the next levels down were Asmodeus, a maze, juiblex, and another maze.

texts: Counterspell and Spellbender together: which one is triggered first?

texts:
A quick question regarding the Mage deck: suppose that I'm playing a deck based on Secrets. In a certain turn of the game, I have both Counterspell and Spellbender activated on my side.

Is there a rule to determine which one is triggered at first? My though is that the first that you played is the first which is going to be revealed, but I'm not sure about that.

As a pratical example, suppose that I'm playing against a Paladin, and I predict - due to the state of the game -, that (s)he's gonna buff a minion of his/her with a Blessing of Kings (+4/+4 at a minion). Can I foretaste a 5/8 on my side? Or the blessing will "just" vanish?

Thank you.

After several gang fights, where I had to run to a shop in order to reset my reputation, I was wondering if it is possible in any way to actually win the fight.
It seems that once the fight has started, it will last forever (or until you die)...

I've seen it only once and it was during a "wave" event. Once everybody from the last wave is dead, it's over.

texts: Understanding Halo 5's legendary ending?

texts:
I don't understand Halo 5's legendary ending:

   In the legendary ending, we see a Halo, which seems to be next to some planet other than Earth, starts glowing alongside the back.

What does it mean, exactly?  Does this mean Cortana has gained control over that installation, and that it's under her control, or is it just another Halo that has reactivated?

   In the regular, we learn that Exuberant Witness forces Cortana and her Guardian out of Genesis, but we learned that Cortana and her Guardian have already found where the Infinity's location is and has started to wreak havoc among the planet where the Infinity is. Since that planet is nowhere near the planet depicted in the legendary ending, how is it that Cortana can gain control of that ring as well?

texts: I'm looking for an RPG game from the early 1990's

texts:
I have been wracking my brains trying to remember the name of a CRPG from what must be either the late 80's or early 90's. I don't have a screenshot or anything but maybe my description will jog someones mind.

The game was normally played in a pretty much 2d eagles eye view except for combat sequences which would have the characters seen sort of sideways. The player had a party of 4-6 characters of which I think 4 were player made and 2 could be hired from different guilds. While not in combat a single character was visible whereas in combat all characters could be moved.

The game was graphically slightly similar to castle of the winds using tiles to visualize everything and was turn based both in combat and out if I remember correctly. The dungeons were preset but either most encounters or at least most loot was randomly generated.

I'm also almost certain it was shareware. Any chance anyone can put a name to this description? I realize this doesn't meet the game identification tag standard, but given that if I could find a screenshot I would almost certainly be also able to find the game I figured I'd give the question a shot.

I've spent roughly an hour Googling for the game before posting and I managed to find this screenshot:

texts: Is there a formula for Golems' state growth?

texts:
Golems are a huge part of EA, but after using one for so long, I find its stats are so much higher than the ones I haven't used, it would be silly to switch. Especially when you haven't even synth'd the golem yet.

What I want to know is if anyone has a guide or formula for determining stat growth  for golems (due to level up) or if it is just random?

This would help me determine if leveling up a new golem would be worth it, if it has a greater stat growth and similar role (defensive, offensive, etc.) then I could swap it in knowing long term there would be an advantage.

I looked at this guide: Golem Guide from Gamefaqs, but it doesn't mention any of this, just has base stats.


texts: Unable to save progress on N64 cartridge

texts:
I have an old Super Smash Bros. cartridge for the N64 (that I purchased recently). I am unable to save any progress for the game.

I have done some research and all of the online information says that the battery needs to be replaced. I have done so (more than once) by soldering the battery in. There is a brand new battery that has been checked with a voltmeter and is outputting (slightly over) 3 volts.

I have also found information indicating that the battery might be getting shorted out by the metal casing surrounding the board. I have insulated the inside of the casing with electrical tape, placed the board with a new battery face down in the casing and verified that the battery is not being shorted by the casing.

Despite all of this, the cartridge is still unable to save progress (I have been testing it by doing the Bonus 1 Practice for Mario, completing it, checking that the fastest time is displayed, turning the console off and back on and then trying to verify that the time is still there). A friend of mine has suggested that it might be an issue with the SRAM but I can't find any information online ever mentioning this as a potential problem, much less finding anything else that might help me fix whatever is causing this issue.

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

texts: What's the logic behind the final puzzle in The Pandora Directive?

texts:
The very final puzzle of The Pandora Directive, where you have to find the right sequence of

  symbols on the control panel of the alien spaceship,

is one I've only ever solved myself via the game's interactive hint system. You're given an initial segment of the sequence but I can't identify either a pattern to it or any relevance to the symbols/directions/colours. How am I supposed to determine the rest of the sequence from there?

The sources I've found seem to imply that there IS no way of working it out and you just have to do it by trial and error, but that would strike me as very strange if true.

I know what the sequence is (because of the hint system, and walkthroughs on the web) but I'd really like to know if there were any in-game clues that I missed which were supposed to help me figure it out.

For example, if I asked the same thing about

  the puzzle in the dagger room of the Mayan temple, an acceptable answer would be "on the wall paintings, the same designs as are on the daggers appear in a certain order from top to bottom; you have to put the daggers found scattered around the temple in the slots on the altar in the same order".

There is a clear in-game motivation for the solution to the puzzle. I'd like to know if the same exists for this last puzzle as well.

When you first arrive, there's a stone missing, but I've found the missing stone, put it in place, and played around with activating the other stones that light up to create the lines of fire. There's obviously some sort of puzzle to solve here, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do.

Can someone give me a gentle, non-spoilery hint as to what I need to do to solve this puzzle? Alternately, is there an in-game object that I need to get that will point me in the right direction?

texts: Can I use vermin in my egg production farm?

texts:
I recently acquired a tame blue jay in a cage that I bought from the Elven trading caravan.

I have a reasonable egg production farm up and running with domestic egg laying creatures, like ducks and turkeys, and I was wondering if I would be able to add to this with my recent acquisition.

I noticed in the raws that blue jays (and a number of other vermin creatures) have the [LAYS_EGGS] configuration value, but because it is technically considered vermin and there is no mention of this type of creature on the df wiki page for egg laying animals, I am unsure whether it will actually lay eggs.

If I provide a nest box for a tame, egg-laying vermin, will it lay eggs that I can cook into food for my dwarves?


texts: Does Breath of the Wild for Wii U require a TV?

texts:
I've decided that I can't live without Zelda: Breath of the Wild any longer, but I don't have any of the recent Nintendo consoles. Given that the game performance and graphics seem comparable on Wii U vs. Switch, I'm thinking of getting a Wii U and playing BOTW there, skipping the Switch altogether. However I live a very minimalist lifestyle and don't have a TV, so I want to ensure that I can play BOTW on Wii U without ever needing to connect to a TV.

If I want to play BOTW on Wii U, will I need to use Wii U's "TV mode" at any point -- either to play the game itself (ie. docked), or to set up my newly opened Wii U in the first place?

texts: Kerbal stuck in seat, refuses to get out

texts:
So I created a rover with an EAS-1 control seat and sent it to the Mun. Everything went well, but now the Kerbal is kind of in the seat and kind of not. It looks like he's trying to walk when I drive. There's no "leave seat" option. He can EVA and take a surface sample though. He'll even grab on to a ladder if I drive him to it, but no matter what he's still stuck in the seat.

Has anyone encountered this and know a way around it?
If not, since this is a pure bug and not a game feature, is there a way to modify the game files to relocate the kerbal out of the seat manually? Thank you!


texts: How do I keep my loftwing from stalling?

texts:
While flying around with my loftwing, I frequently get into the situation where my loftwing starts stalling. I start moving slower and slower until it stops gliding and just flaps its wings as it begins to fall. This especially happens if I'm trying to go up; if I try to go down, the loftwing usually starts gliding again.

The only way out of this that I've seen is to press the A button to make it charge, but that is over quickly and I get right back to stalling. The help screen that appears when you press the 2 button doesn't say anything about what to do in this situation. Sometimes if I wildly wave around the Wii Remote, my loftwing gets going again, but I can't figure out what to do with that.

So how can I prevent my loftwing from stalling?

texts: Changing gamerule from server console has no effect

texts:
I implemented a datapack, that changes certain gamerules like mobGriefing or doInsomnia based on the preferences of the players that are currently playing on the server. The datapack works in a test world realiable, but when I put it on the server the gamerule changes have no effect.
If I check the current state of the gamerule with the server console, the gamerules change if I change my preferences ingame. But if check the same thing with the server chat and an OP-Account, nothing changes. And the output from the chat seems to be the correct one.
Tests
I tested this with mobGriefing. I am the only player online, so if I change my preferences with the datapack they instantly take effect.

I started with no preference set. So mobGriefing was set to the default, which is true, both in console and in the chat.
If I now set my preference to false, the gamerule should switch to false.
But it did that only on the console. (Ignore the server restart, it didn't change anything)

And it had no effect ingame. I tested it with a creeper.

The server runs on spigot in Java 1.16.4. I have not much experience with spigot, but I know commands and functions pretty well.
Do you have any idea, what causes this or how it could be fixed?

texts:
Two weeks ago I borrowed an Oculus Rift for the weekend and installed some mods for it, following this guide. Now I'm trying to run it again without the Oculus, and it instantly crashes to desktop.

Behavior

I click on Skyrim in my Steam library, and then click Play from the launcher. A console window pops up for half a second, closes, and the game doesn't run. Sometimes I see a black screen flicker up and then close.

What I've tried

Running Skyrim from SKSE. In this case, I see the SKSE console window flicker up, then another console window, and the game doesn't start.
Uninstalling all mods.
Deleting my Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini files.
Reinstalling Skyrim in Steam by clicking Delete Local Content, followed by Install.
Running Skyrim in a Window.
Praising Talos.
Changing Audio settings to DVD quality.
Restarting my computer.

System specifications

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40 GHz
Drive: Samsung 840 SSD
Graphics Card:: AMD Radeon HD 7900
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H ATX LGA1150
Monitor: BenQ XL2420T

Solution

Per SevenSidedDie's recommendation, I deleted d3d9.dll, hijackdll.dll, and libfreespace.dll from my Steamapps\common\Skyrim\ folder. It's alive!

Generalized Solution

Uninstalling and reinstalling via steam does not remove the Skyrim folder. If you manually added any DLLs during the modding process, you may have to remove them manually as well. Alternatively, if you don't know which DLLs to remove, uninstall the game, delete the Skyrim folder, and then reinstall. You will not lose your saved games, since they are stored in Users\USER\Documents\my games\skyrim, rather than in steamapp.


texts: Can multiple command blocks feed into a chain?

texts:
I have 3 command blocks that are activated individually, and occasionally two or all three of them are activated in the same tick. What I need is for the 3 command blocks to execute some command, then execute a chain of commands only once. The chain has to execute after the 3 impulse blocks execute their commands. If two command blocks are activated at the same time, then the chain should still only execute once.

What I'm wondering is if the design in the screenshot below does what I need, or if I should look for another method.

The two chain command blocks on the left are empty, while the chain command block in the middle above the impulse block contains the first command.
