texts: Is there any way to fail Delvin's "special item" quests?

texts:
Anytime I find something cool, I get a quest to bring the item to Delvin.

Any way to purposely fail these quests? Would using commands or a mod to kill Delvin work?


texts: Can you receive ultra balls from Pokestops?

texts:
After getting level 20 I was rewarded with 20 ultra balls (among other stuff). I assume this would have been like with the great balls, which unlocked them and allowed you to collect them from pokestops.

However after getting about 30-50 pokestops after hitting level 20, I have yet to get a single ultra ball, am I just incredibly unlucky?

Is it possible to get ultra balls from pokestops or is it going to be a pay to get item like lures and lucky eggs?


texts:
I was playing around with the idea of make pistonless automatic street lights in Minecraft. My idea was to use a BUD switch to see if a grass block had grown or died.

I know that if grass is underwater during night it dies, but I dont know if it grows back during the day if it's still underwater.

I would also appreciate it if you had any suggestions for non piston BUD switches, the ones I have been trying to use are not ideal because they send out pulses.

So I've been playing this game and I've had some good fun with the references (Harry, the cat who lived, triforce, gotta collect them all...) and even some I didn't know I found online... This one however...

I first thought it was tal'darim, then looked it up, and I don't think it is, even the shape isn't close to it...

So what is it? A real reference or have I been trolled by the devs?

texts: Test to see if chest minecart has specific item

texts:
I'm building a minecart system for multiple players and stations.
When a player drives a minecart, a writable book sets the destination. If the car runs over a detector rail, a command block checks which text is contained in the book and sets the switch to the left or right depending on the content of the book. This only works if a player is sitting in the minecart.

Now we also want to use chest minecarts for transportation. So we have to test whether a book with text is in the minecart. how does it work? I have researched and come to no result.

The command to test with the player is execute if entity @a [nbt = {SelectedItem: {id:" minecraft: writable_book ", tag: {pages: [" town "]}}}]


texts:
Im messing around with armor drop chances for a map im creating and I have yet to find out any information on the web explaining this: Does the minecraft binary recognize a value for armordropchances below 0.1f? I have enemies that are dropping armour and it is dropping way too often considering the drop chances are 0.001f (I know its about 1/1000) but it feels like every fifth enemy is dropping the item. Maybe I just have insane luck, but something isn't working here. (I don't think it matters what items are dropping just that the items are dropping seemingly too fast) heres the section of my command if you wanted to know the drop rates.

  ArmorDropChances:[0.004F,0.2F,0.001F,0.2F]

EDIT: I think I know what's going on, the items that I have like a 20% drop rate on what is supposed to be a common drop. But after changing the drop rate of what is supposedly the helmet to 0.004 I found the common drop never dropped anymore and the armour was dropping just as much

texts: Best way to get a worldwide giftable copy of the game?

texts:
I am infrequently participating in Random Acts of Gaming, a subreddit for giving away games. I wanted to buy and give away a copy of the game I love. However, both the game publisher site and the Steam page indicate that I can only buy a region-locked copy suitable for my country (Russia). It may or may not work elsewhere. Since the recipient of the giveaway may come from anywhere, I'm looking to get a worldwide-giftable copy.

Steam gifts require me and the recipient of the giveaway to be friends on Steam for at least three days. This is an option, but I'd prefer to avoid jumping through these hoops.

I've contacted the publisher support. They cannot lift the region-lock, so they advised me to buy Steam wallet credit. However, unless I misread Steam help pages, I can again gift Steam wallet credit to Steam friends only.

I am open to options including or excluding Steam or any other reputable distribution platforms.


texts: Is there any move that cures the enemy pokemon's status problems?

texts:
I am currently engaged in a desperate struggle to capture the roaming legendary beasts. I have my sights set on Entei at the moment, having brought it down to 1 HP and paralyzed it. Sadly, it is still infuriatingly difficult to catch.

This was all done before I realized that applying the "sleep" condition is preferable than applying the "paralysis" condition for the purpose of capturing pokemon.

Seeing how you cannot afflict a pokemon with two status ailments, I would like to cure the Entei's paralysis so that I could make it sleep instead. Is there any move that will allow me to do this?

texts:
I'm playing Pokemon FireRed, and I want to get a Nidoran from an egg. This little Nidoran will be level 5. (This can be applied to all low level Pokémon)

When you put a Pokémon in first position and then you change it in combat, this Pokémon will get half the earned experience. If its level is much lower, it will get a lot of experience and level up fast (fast method).

Alternatively, I can use the low level Pokémon and fight against Pokémon of a similar level (slow method).

Are there any downsides to the slower method? Will the resulting stats be similar?

texts: When do raiders start attacking your vault?

texts:
I'm pretty sure I've never been attacked by raiders until I have a dozen or so vault dwellers, although I haven't tested this properly yet (I normally grow my vaults quite quickly). I'm aware Deathclaws are 'unlocked' at a certain population (60 for regular and 35 for survival vaults) - is there a similar, lower threshold for raider attacks, or are they timed, or does it depend on vault caps, or a certain room, or something else?

Or have I just been lucky? I suppose it's possible, but I assume there's something preventing attacks in e.g. the first 60 seconds of play...


texts: Playstation 3 Backwards Compatibility and Upgradability

texts:
My PS2 has finally died, and I am looking to hunt down a PS3 60GB for the hardware backwards compatibility. I've located a few for ~250$. Since I've never really used a PS3, I have a few questions. First, the one I am looking at the most says it comes with the 2.7 firmware. If I upgrade the firmware, will that completely remove hardware backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games? According to Wikipedia all firmwares can play PS1 games, but emulation for PS2 games seems to be a bit less clear.

Second, can I replace the internal hard disk with a custom one (something like a 1tb hitachi travelstar)? I've found reports that the hard disks are user upgradable on wikipedia.

I'm just trying to figure out the current "state of the union."

texts: Minecraft Vanilla Warp Tools For Servers

texts:
I'm making a server that has Warp Tools. Warp Tools are written books with a content inside saying "Throw book to warp to ..." These books can be bought from my server shop. At first I made it so there's click event in the contents of the books so when a player click a text, it will teleport them to a location but found out it can't be done since certain players needs OP to do this.

My new idea is a player buys the books and a player can drop a book, then they get teleported to the location, plus getting rid of the book thrown on the ground and giving it back to the player so the player can use it unlimitedly.

My problem is, I don't know how to do this. Each book have different names and page contents. I have only tried testfor to test if a book with a specific name is dropped then say "Found Book!" and that's about it. I've thought about on how I'm going to this: testfor detects book on ground, gets player that dropped the book (gets player near the book), clear that specific book thrown on the ground, teleport player to a location, gives player back the book. I just do not know how to get the nearest player to the book that was thrown and clear the specific book that was thrown. I need to that part because multiple players could do this at the same time and can cause problems.

The default is for your powerups to line up, and when you press X you use the powerup in the first slot. Is there a way to cycle between slots, so I can have my pick of items?


texts: How do I remove Elder Scroll: Dragon from my inventory?

I have all 3 DLC add-ons, and I'm assuming that either it's a bug, or it's part of either Dawnguard or a side quest in Dragonborn (I've already killed Miraak).

Because of this, I was thinking of just setting up a string of 1000 hoppers in a row, to move the material from one place to another.

My question:  What will happen at the loaded/unloaded chunks with such a setup?

texts: Switch between two different commands when block is activated?

texts:
Basically, I'm trying to make a piston door that is activated by a lever (and an elevator), and what I want is to be able to switch on a lever, which will set a red stone block behind the pistons, then when it's switched off, to summon air behind them.

However the best I could get was a repeat one with the red stone command attached to a chain with the air one and it created some spooky demonic piston doors (the red stone block was flashing while being reset so fast)

So like is there a way that I can set the pistons to activate (or the redstone block to be set) when the lever is turned on, and to replace it with air when it is switched off? I have been having trouble trying to find anything that is remotely close to what I'm trying to do for info. Hopefully I can get some help here, thanks!

texts: Is it possible to rescue everyone on the Kobayashi Maru?

texts:
In the first mission (Prologue: Shakedown), you're asked to take one final simulated test before you graduate from Starfleet Academy. During the simulation, you arrive in a sector and are hailed by a ship called the Kobayashi Maru. The shift is adrift with life support failing and asks you to rescue the 381 people on board. The ship is in the Klingon Neutral Zone, and you'll have to enter the neutral zone to rescue the ship. You're told that entering the neutral zone will be seen an act of aggression by the Klingons and likely result in them attacking you.

Game Spoilers:

   During the mission, this turns out to be true. If you voilate the neutral zone, endless waves of Klingon vessels attack both you and the Kobayashi Maru. The scenario ends when one of three things happens: (1) you abandon the Kobayashi Maru and the leave the sector, (2) your ship is destroyed, or (3) the Kobayashi Maru is destroyed.

Game/Star Trek Universe Spoilers:

   In the Star Trek universe, the Kobayashi Maru scenario is known as a No-Win scenario. Recruits are sent through it to test how they handle a situation where, no matter what choice they make, they can't win. However, some cadets found ways to beat the scenario through cheating. The idea of cheating to win the No-Win Scenario has made its way into other Star Trek games as well.

Through in-game mechanics, is it possible to rescue all 381 people on the Kobayashi Maru and escape the Klingon Neutral Zone? Or is this meant to be a true No-Win Scenario with no way to rescue everyone and escape alive using in-game mechanics?


texts: mcctoolchest pe copied overworld area to nether instead of the nether area

texts: My computer shut down in the middle of playing on my main bedrock world. When I reopened the world a strip of chunks was reset to the original overworld, nether, and end without any of our builds. I was able to use mcctoolchest to copy the overworld area from an older file version, but when I tried to paste in an area selection copied from the nether in the old world into the same space in the current version, it pasted the overworld, rather than the nether. It's kind of trippy to see the overworld in the nether. Is this a bug with mcctoolchest or am I doing something wrong?

texts:
I feel that Scout against Pyro is perhaps the most difficult confrontation between classes. Scout has the lowest amount of health in the game (alongside Engineer, Sniper and Spy) and Pyro's flamethrower can kill him nearly instantly. Close encounters must be avoided, making shotguns far less useful. I can only see some items such as Shortstop and Mad Milk changing the situation. Jumping around with related items (Winger, Atomizer) equipped may be viable, but experienced Pyro players should be able to take the Scout down as the flamethrower doesn't demand accurate aim.

Is it recommended to avoid direct confrontations with Pyro entirely?

UPDATE: This question was written before a major update:

  Flamethrowers were able to do full damage regardless of the spread of
  their flames, rewarding maximizing flame spread over focusing on a
  target. We've made changes geared toward preserving the current damage
  range of flamethrowers, but requiring better aim to do so.

  Flame damage per second now ramps up based on density of flame encountered, up to 200%
  Initial flame damage per second reduced by 50%, resulting in the max damage being unchanged


texts: I'm sucking in the early game -- what missions should I undertake?

So is there any meaning in the word Horizon, in the title Horizon: Zero Dawn?

My question is: There is no more "risk" involved in studying anomalies, right? Just how much time will be consumed based on the difference level of Anomaly vs Scientist level.

Now I know that things like placing a shield or a heal on someone else that hit the champion will result in an assist, but does the vision granted by his ultimate or any other vision given by an ability such as Ashe's Hawkshot give an assist?


texts:
Right now, the Resistance holds >66M mind units.

Those must be from some fairly large fields in fairly densely populated areas.

But how can I find them? The Intel map isn't particularly useful for that, because it's too slow when loading fields and doesn't indicate when it's finished.

texts: What if a king is also a duke in a different kingdom?

texts:
I play as the King of Ireland (and Castille), and I've betrothed my male heir to the heir of a duchy and some stray counties in England. As I understand it, my daughter-in-law will rule as a duchess on her own, but their heir will rule both my kingdoms and the English lands (as they are of my dynasty).

However, the English lands are of course subjects of England. So what happens then? Will the duchy and counties be separated from England and become part of Ireland? Or will I become a vassal of England – and if so, to what extent?

texts:
Are any crew skills profitable on their own without the GTN in SW:TOR?

I am speaking of both crafting and missions. Are any of the crew skills (in any combination) generally profitable (making more credits than the missions cost) at the highest tier, without selling rewarded/crafted goods on the GTN to other players? How much of a margin can be made this way if your skills are at 400?

(Note: I realize that more credits can be made by crafting in-demand items and selling them with a huge markup, but this question is about avoiding the GTN and selling the results to ordinary vendors.)

  Peace Loving
  +1 Happiness for every 5 followers of this religion in non-enemy foreign cities

What are the precise benefits here, and under what conditions should I choose what? And is Peace Loving also applies for city-states, so I can rely on those as well?


texts:
I just bought Impossible Creatures from gog, and after launching it, I noticed the mouse cursor wouldn't move. It remains visible at the center of the screen, but simply won't move, no matter what I do with my mouse.

Interestingly, it seems that it is only the cursor that won't move. The buttons still highlight when the mouse hovers over them. In other words, I can still click around, but I can't tell where my mouse is, until it hovers above a button.

Basically, the game is almost unplayable, since I have no idea where I'm clicking. At best, I can tell if my mouse is hovering above an enemy unit by looking at how the cursor changes, but I can't tell which unit I'll be attacking if I click.

How do I fix or work around this issue? I'd be happy enough, if I could just prevent the game from hiding my regular mouse cursor.

I'm on Windows 10, with all updates installed including the major November update. I've tried running the game as administrator, and even in Compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7, and XP SP2 with no success.

texts: How do I get the Score Addict achievement in Angry Birds?

texts:
I recently finished getting three stars in all stages across all three worlds of Episode 1 in Angry Birds.  I have approximately 3 800 000 points.  I need 4 000 000 points to get the Episode 1 - Score Addict achievment. (Or maybe I need an intervention?)  There are 63 stages, which means I need to score an average of 3,000 more points per stage to get this achievment.

This doesn't seem possible.

Are there things I can do to get higher scores besides smashing more blocks?  Multipliers?  Smashing certain items?


texts: What is the damage of end crystals to players?

texts:
I own an anarchy server, so many people use end crystals to fight. My friend got one shot by one of the crystals recently, so I'm wondering how much damage a crystal actually does. I've made recipes for protection 10 armor, and the full set (should) give 96% damage reduction (at least to my understanding, 20 armor points = 80% damage reduction, and protection 10 = 80% damage reduction, so stacking multiplicatively will give 96% damage reduction).
I will stand in a spot that lets me take 100% exposure.
How much damage will I take, and how many crystals do I need to get myself blown up?


texts:
I recently unlocked the "Scout" trait star card, and I noticed that it has 3 different levels with ever increasing effects.

  Level 1: Sprinting does not show on enemy scanner.
  Level 2: Sprinting and firing your primary weapon does not show on enemy scanner.
  Level 3: Sprinting and firing your primary weapon does not show on enemy scanner and killing an enemy resets weapon heat.

 Noticeably there doesn't appear to be a way to purchase the next level, so I assume that its a temporary leveling system.

How does one upgrade a trait star card?

The wikia entry for the Sharpshooter trait says:

  Level 1 is the predetermined level when someone appears on the
  battlefield. The player gains one charge for every 3 kills (headshot
  kills not necessary) without dying.

Is it the same for all trait cards?


texts: What is the extra crosshair detail that occsionally appears on medic guns?

texts:
In Killing Floor 2 I generally play as a medic, and while using medic guns I regularly see a blue highlight appear around my red dot sight. It lasts a short time and then disappears with no noticeable changes to the gun.

Normal crosshair on the left, extra detail surrounding the red dot on the right

This doesn't seem to correspond to wether I'm killing, the ammo capacity shown next to it or any other reported data. But it also doesn't seem to alter how the weapon functions? Maybe it's to do with the medic darts? But I can shoot them both with it visible and without.

Is it purely graphical, or does it mean something I've missed?


texts: How can I join online multiplayer races now that Nintendo WFC has been discontinued?

texts:
In 2014 Nintendo terminated the Nintendo WFC (Wi-Fi Connection) for the Wii console, which has made it impossible for players to join other players online, or use online data in-game.

At least that was what I thought, until I watched a few Mario Kart Wii videos on YouTube. I found recent videos or even live streams that showed the player racing with others online. One example can be found here.

How can I do this? Am I missing something important in the game?


texts: Do people earn health when they get a kill in the Scavenger Pop Up Cup in Fortnite?

texts:
I have noticed that I do a lot of damage to the person (e.g. I shot a player with a grey SMG 5 times for 17 damage each; the guy had no shield), but when they kill me, they have WAY more health than they should.

This only occurs in the Scavenger Pop Up Cup going on right now, and I'm getting confused because I would like to see how close I was to getting the kill.


texts: What happens if you enter an alliance with the Papacy?

texts:
So, I have the delightful pleasure to marry off my non-heir son. One of the options is a courtier in the Papacy with less-than-admirable attributes. Still, it sound like a fun thing to do. Has anyone tried this? Is it any different from any other alliance?

I imagine that the Pope would attempt to bugger me into joining any of his little disputes ... and that he'll likely not give much help in return.

(Plot twist! It's actually the legitimized bastard daughter of the Pope himself and some lowborn promiscuous lady.)


texts:
As time passes by, tanks are becoming more and more of an annoyance for me in GTAV Online.

Being a level 52, I'm still unable to reach the right guns for the job, so I was wondering:

texts: How do "stats changes if equipped" work in Diablo 3?

texts:
I am a little confused by this preview of the damage that could be done in Diablo 3

Dire Span is reporting to give me +1076 to damage.

When equipped however it in fact reduces my overall dam by nearly 1.5k.

So how is this calculated? Is it only a problem because of the % that is added on these weapons to the damage when strength is taken into account?

Whilst this question may appear similar to this: How is the weapon damage on this weapon calculated?

However this question does not give information on strength factor.


texts:
I had a solar system on Starchitect. The parent star was a F0 star, and had four planets: two Medium (Earth-sized) rocky planets and two Small (Saturn-sized) gas giants. One terrestrial planet was at 0.03 AU away from the star, while the other terrestrial was 0.1 AU away. The two gas giants orbited at 0.44 and 1.07 AU away.
At the age of 2.74 billion years, the star had its helium flash, destroying the 0.44 AU gas giant and the 0.1 AU rocky planet. All other planets survived. That was strange as the innermost planet (0.03 AU terrestrial) survived the flash, while the middle two planets were destroyed. Then, 10 minutes (10 million years) later, the innermost planet was destroyed. Finally, the outermost planet was destroyed at 2.8 billion years as the F0 star entered its red giant stage. You can view the system, nicknamed "HOT HOT HOT" (Lol, that was my first F0 system), on my Starchitect profile (IGN WarpPrime).
Why are the other planets being "roasted" first instead of my innermost planets? Is this a bug?

texts: How are experience points divided between players in Borderlands?

texts:
We're playing Borderlands among a small group of friends and I've noticed we tend to level up in a ever-so-slightly staggered fashion. It's no single character or player, I think so far everyone in our party has been the first to reach a  given level one big fight before the rest.

The characters aren't being played outside our multiplayer party, which means experience gain must be somehow uneven between characters. How are experience points from killing monsters divided between players? Is there a last-hit or assist bonus or something like that?


texts: How can I make my air force more effective?

texts:
I'm playing the Long War mod for XCOM: Enemy Within and I'm nearing the end of month two. It's never been easy to shoot anything down... it usually takes 3-4 interceptors just to take down a small scout. Now that the game is progressing, it's getting even harder, and even rotating through 7 different interceptors I'm running into problems where they're all out for repairs when new UFOs hit. This is even considering the fact that I let the larger ones through without engaging!

I feel like I need to focus my research on some improvements that will improve the effectiveness of my interceptors. I've seen the tech tree for Long War but honestly that thing is so huge and lacking in description that I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of what path I need to head down to become more effective as quickly as possible.

What short term and longer term plans can I make so that my air force stays effective?

texts: Can I roll non-Treasure Room items on regular pedestals on the Chest?

texts:
I just need to collect a couple of items to get Platinum God. One is a Secret Room item (Black Lotus) and one is an Angel Room item (Sacred Heart). Importantly, neither is in the Treasure Room item pool. The wiki page about Special Items says

Since the reroll chance rapidly increases to a high percentage, seeing 3-4 special items can be enough to make some special items that aren't in Treasure Room Pool (Godhead, Sacred Heart, Brimstone,..) require hundreds of D6 rolls before appearing.

However, these special items will always appear after a certain number of rerolls, even if the Treasure Room Pool was emptied and Breakfast starts to appear. In these situations, infinite D6 uses and patience are required.

Since the chests on the Chest level turn into pedestals with Treasure Room items, this makes me think that I can reroll those pedestals to the items I am looking for. However, I have been rolling in the Chest starting room for a long time and I haven't gotten any non-Treasure Room items, even non-special ones. So, can I reroll those pedestals to Secret Room or Angel Room items?

texts: Is my relationship level affected by only my actions?

texts:
In SimCity Social, you have a relationship type (good or bad) and level. I have noticed that the relationship type can be changed by the other party. For example, if I visit someone's city and remain neutral, after they visit me, it's possible for my relationship with them to become good or bad. I've also noticed that my persistent positive actions in an unfriendly city was able to change our relationship to good, visible on both of our UIs.

However, how far does this go? Does this only apply to changing the relationship type? Does it also apply to relationship levels (i.e. from Frenemies to Enemies)? What about experience points towards each level (shared between both parties rather than individual values)?

texts: What's the fastest way to take over a portal in ingress?

texts:
I built up an inventory of over 20 level 1 xmp bursters, and thought that would be enough to take over a low level portal - not even close.  However, I did finally notice that I did different amounts of damage to the resonators depending on where I stood.  I started off standing near the portal, but only did about 1% damage to each of the surrounding resonators.  But if I moved closer to the resonators, I did up to 8% damage to that one resonator, and a little bit to the others resonators in range.

Is it faster to detonate xmp bursters on the resonators or on the portals for maximum damage?

texts: When unlocking a Variant card that requires two games, do I have to play them consequtively?

texts:
In the Sentinels of the Multiverse video game, there are a number of Variant cards to unlock. Some of them require more than one game to be played. For instance, "The Eternal Haka" requires the following:

  Win a game where Haka is the only non-incapacitated hero. Then, defeat any villain in The Final Wasteland, playing each “Haka of” card at least once each. Again, Haka must be the only non-incapacitated hero.

Do I have to play the two games consecutively? In this instance, can I win a game where Haka is the only one left, then play 10 games, then win with the final criteria? Or do I have to immediately win the second game after the first (thus possibly spoiling my chance to win the card if I fail to do so)?

texts:
I've recently been replaying the Myst series of games, and realized that the D'ni were actually supposed to be in a cavern on Earth. My understanding of the lore is that the original D'ni escaped to Earth by writing a descriptive book which allowed them to link to a cavern deep beneath the surface - they then wrote additional linking books allowing them to link back to D'ni from other Ages.

So, what happened to the original descriptive book? Did they take it with them? If so, does that mean a descriptive book can describe the Age it occupies? This seems like an obvious hole in the lore to me.

/give @p minecraft:lever{CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:gold_block"]} 1

When I wanted to add a name, "Lab Key" I looked up how to add a name to a /give command, but when I added it the text went red and the command wouldn't work. I tried fitting it in a few different ways but that didn't work either.

The extra I used is:

{display:{Name:"Lab Key"}}

and I added it in like:

/give @p minecraft:lever{CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:gold_block"],display:{Name:"Lab Key"}}

Both commands worked on their own (although the lever turned out to not actually be named anything, but the command block accepted it) and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just the snapshot having redstone updates?

texts: Using Minecraft command blocks to automatically TP players when they join?

texts:
I am trying to make a Hunger Games map on MC 1.5.2 and I am almost finished. I have most of the command blocks set ready for the games but for some reason, everyone keeps spawning on top the glass sphere and not in the lobby I made. Even after I changed the spawnpoint and did /kill, I still spawned on top of the sphere so to counteract that, I made a TP command block which TPs all people to the lobby. Though what I want is something that can TP each person to the lobby when they join, automatically, so that they don't spawn on top the sphere without them being able to get to the lobby and having me to manually press the TP all to lobby button.

So, any suggestions on how I can make an Auto-TP when people join my server?

texts: What does the Void Crystal do and what sort of enemies is it useful against?

texts: So I just dropped 20000 gold on this Void Crystal item, which claims to drain enemies of their magical energy and also grants me access to a powerful charging attack. However, it's unclear to me what sort of enemies in the game are considered to have magical energy, and what happens to them as a result of the Void Crystal's power. If I attack an enemy who has a projectile attack, will they be temporarily unable to attack me? What sort of situations is the Void Crystal useful in?


texts: How to effectively attack enemy champions with a ranged champion?

texts:
My problem is I have a hard time winning auto-atack battles.

I don't know how to chase while attacking with my ADC. I "right-click" Draven continuously while chasing, and sometimes he stops to run and my Ashe run toward Draven until melee range, and then start to attack. I think that I am missing some right clicks.

I searched the web about advanced controlling the champion, and I learn about the "A" key and click the target, or Shift+Click to attack-move, but I don't know what the best or ideal way to do it.

Maybe I'm just nervous when in the heat of the battle, but if it is case of practice, I want to start to practice the correct way to make it.

I thank you any help!

texts:
I've been playing the campaign mode using Raptor Speedlings, and they end up crossing the map far faster than any other units at my disposal, which can lead to some problems.

In many games, selecting a large group of units and giving them a move command together slows down the faster units to the pace of the slower, allowing the army to arrive at an objective together. Is there a way to enable this (either click mechanism or a setting) in Starcraft 2?

I know that this flies in the face of using Speedlings, but I often find it useful to send about half a dozen ahead to scout, while keeping the rest with my army to defend my roaches, hydras, Kerrigan, etc. As it is I have to give commands to the rest of the units, and follow them in short jumps with the lings, which reduces my ability to manage my base as effectively during maneuvers.

texts: Which questlines should I do without a follower?

texts:
I recently started a new game and am going the route of the mage.  Before visiting High Hrothgar I decided I wanted to do the Winterhold questline to get some spells and levels under my belt.  The first part of this involved demonstrating a ward spell.  I personally found it annoying that when I put up my defense, Lydia drew her weapons while the trainer threw a spell at me.  I found this detracted from my experience so I am thinking of telling her to go cool her heels while I do this questline.

*Will I regret not bringing a companion with me on the Winterhold questline (either for inventory space or tough encounters?

*Are there other questlines in the game that having a follower really doesn't make sense?

Maybe I'm way off base here and I've never played far in my previous playthroughs, but I can imagine there are stealth missions where you probably wouldn't want/need a follower.  Then again, maybe their awkwardness is just something you've got to put up with.

texts: How are score streaks meant to be obtained?

texts:

Am I missing something completely obvious here? Is there some switch as to which score streak I want to gain points for?

texts: How close does the final boss have to be to lose?

texts:
I have made it to the flag ship 5-6 times and each time I have beaten phase 1.

However after phase 1 my hull is less than 50%.

Some times I went and attacked phase 2 anyways and other times I ran for a repair point.

Either way I have lost by hull destruction or by the flag ship reaching my base before I can get to it after I went to a repair point.

The last time I calculated how many jumps before the final boss could get to my base but I was wrong and still lost because he destroyed my base without actually being there on that node.

My question is: How close to your base does the final boss have to be to make you lose? Is it possible to repair between fights or should you just attack at 50% hull?

texts: How can you turn a rapid pulser on and off?

texts:
We have built a number of large rapid pulsers for Floor D of Fosco's server's community wiki.

D, obviously, is for disco.

Disco seen from the deejay's point of view, with two jukeboxes. I just wish there were more than two records.

The soft lightning is done by a number of extended rapid pulsers. Basically, I took the basic structure of a rapid pulser and extended it sideways with further torches and powder. It works.

Close up of the underlying structure.

The nice thing about this is that it can run indefinitely without any external input (originally, we were fiddling with carts). The bad thing about this is that it does even when unneeded, which causes light updates to lag elsewhere.

A solution would be to put a sensor at the deejay's spot. When the deejay (or an heavy object) is in place, it's disco time. Otherwise, the pulsers should stop.

(A nicer solution could be had if jukeboxes emitted power while they played songs. Alas...)

How can we stop the pulsers?

texts: How do I add a bottom texture to pumpkins?

texts:
I'm currently working on my own texture pack, and I want to add a pumpkin_bottom texture. I figured out that I should add it to the block model, but since pumpkins are defined as cube_column blocks, I tried changing them to cube_bottom_top blocks. However, this resulted in the textures breaking and being replaced with the purple-black-chequered texture.

How do I add a bottom texture to Minecraft pumpkins? Do I need to define them as another type of block from default? Is this a conflict related to Jack o' Lantern blocks?

The texture names (all .png) are:

pumpkin_bottom
pumpkin_side
pumpkin_top

The code within the original block model file (pumpkin.json) is:

{
  "parent": "block/cube_column",
  "display": {
    "firstperson_righthand": {
      "rotation": [ 0, 135, 0 ],
      "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
      "scale": [ 0.40, 0.40, 0.40 ]
    }
  },
  "textures": {
    "end": "block/pumpkin_top",
    "side": "block/pumpkin_side"
  }
}

These are my changes to the pumpkin.json file:

{
  "parent": "block/cube_bottom_top",
  "display": {
    "firstperson_righthand": {
      "rotation": [ 0, 135, 0 ],
      "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
      "scale": [ 0.40, 0.40, 0.40 ]
    }
  },
  "textures": {
    "side": "block/pumpkin_side"
    "bottom": "block/pumpkin_bottom",
    "top": "block/pumpkin_top"
  }

texts: Does your dagger have to be in your main hand for the extra Ambush damage?

texts:
I just started a new rogue and I was glancing at the tool tip for Ambush and the way the tool tip is worded it makes it sound like you can have the dagger as either the off hand or the main hand to receive the extra amount of damage. After doing some tests in game I can't really see if having it as your main hand or off hand really alters your damage bonus.

My question is, does having your dagger in the main hand or off hand make the damage bonus apply? If it does actually matter is there any chart or stats someone could provide that would show me actual proof? Thank you.

I have four favourites that are bound to hotkeys:

Long bow (3)
Iron sword (2)
Flame
Sparks

While I have a sword in my right hand and Flame in my left I can switch to the bow just fine by pressing 1, but when I switch away from the bow and back to the sword and Flame by pressing 2 my character apparently decides that bows suck and the hotkey unbinds.

I know that this is highly likely to be a bug. Why I ask is in case I am missing something obvious (or not-so-obvious) that's causing this that isn't a bug. Considering my opinion of the Skyrim menu interface so far, it's also likely that it's just me and Skyrim having a disagreement about how it's supposed to work.

Even if it's a bug, confirming the bug would also be helpful. Even better would be the exact configuration that triggers the bug and figuring out a workaround. I want my bow on a hotkey!

texts: From what conditions can captains come back and ambush you?

texts:
My good buddy Thrak the Brave just finished up a good graug hunt today, and was proving to be a capable captain, so I made him my bodyguard. Minutes later, while I'm watching two other captains fight, he comes up behind me:

So I killed him. The game told me the battle ended with Thrak "killed". Later on in my play session however, he comes back:

So I killed him again. This time, the game told me the battle ended with Thrak "cleaved" (I chopped him in half this time).

Will I ever see Thrak again? Obviously captains can return from battle endings of "recruited", "killed", and likely "burned", "poisoned", "cursed", but what about endings like "decapitated", "headshot", or "cleaved"? How can I know that a captain is really dead, and won't ever return to try to kill me again?

When I start the game, the PC switches to a 4:3 aspect ratio – but the game has visual-novel style cut scenes which are formatted for a fixed 16:9 aspect ratio; The image gets cut off at the sides.

Ironically, the image displayed on the iPad is still 16:9, having black borders both on the top and on the sides unless I zoom in.

texts: Does the quality of the disassembled item affect how Infusion works?

texts:
Related: How does Infusing work?

When performing Infusion, does it matter what the quality is of the item being disassembled for Infusion?

Per answers to the earlier question, it seems the primary thing affected by Infusion is the target item's Attack/Defense value. Other stats on the item aren't significantly changed, except to scale with the Attack/Defense.

The same answers also state that the boost given in Infusion is approximately 80% of the difference (some rounding done) between the Attack/Defense values of the two items involved. However, I'm fairly certain I've had at least a couple cases where Infusion has granted the full difference - even when the 20% I should be missing would be >1 (i.e.: any amount of expected rounding wouldn't account for this).

Could it be that using Exotics for infusion grants a bigger boost (or a chance of getting a bigger boost) than Legendary or Rare items? Is there some small difference between Legendary and Rare as well?

texts: What are the requirements for unlocking Epona?

texts:
According to multiple sources online (including video evidence), you can get Epona in Breath of the Wild by using the Link Amiibo from Super Smash Bros.

Before knowing this, I had already used that Amiibo and it just gave me a few random resources. When I found out about Epona later, I assumed it probably didn't work for me because I did it too early (it was at the very beginning of the game, maybe even before getting to the first tower - the game probably wouldn't want me to have a horse at that point).

However, when I tried it again the next day (having made quite a bit of progress and owning three horses), the same thing happened again. Just random stuff, no Epona.

Are there any specific requirements for this to work, or did I somehow break my save file by using the Link Amiibo too early?

I'm playing the Wii U version if that makes any difference.

Observed Problems
I have noticed that certain rooms get buggy when there is more than one of them. In particular, the following rooms have some issues.

Holding Cell: complains that a 5x7 room doesn't meet the 5x5 minimum size requirement.
Security: Some objects (e.g. Office Desk) get dropped off in a box (though it looks like an Office Desk--the sprite is a desk rather than a box), but doesn't install it, for a while.
Reception areas also seem to never be big enough if there are more than one. (Not sure why you'd want more than one, but the point stands.)

I've had some other issues when building Parole rooms and Common Rooms, but they've usually gone away after a while.
I realize that the game is still in alpha, but since there are so many bugs (most of which are minor or easily avoided), it's hard for me to know what's a bug and what's a poorly-understood feature.

I usually play with weak heroes like Sniper, Drow Ranger or Nature Prophet. I really hate BloodSeeker's ultimate, He can use it and I die so easily even if I am not moving.

Thus I find it really difficult to play against BloodSeeker. How should I counter him?

So with the Steam Summer Sale in full swing, I've finally taken notice of the Steam Mascots.

Judging by the latest background, the black one, at least, has a name: Cyl.

Do the other two have names as well? Are there only these three?

What's their story?

The fun thing about The Secret World is that you can use any weapon you want. As my beginning weapon I have chosen the pistols.

Now I've been placing all my ability points in pistols. Just focussing on that afterwards I'm going to place my points in blood magic (the assassin deck for Dragons).

The question is, is placing the points in one tree good? You need more ability points to go futher, and that means waiting a few (quest/levels) to get the ability, or alternatively you can also go directly for some first blood abilities.

I got Tiny Tower for Android thinking I'd be able to continue my tower I started in iOS. But I don't see any option and I don't think I have an online account linked to my tower.

Is there any way to play my tower cross-platform or can I not do that?


texts:
My key bindings tell me that F5 is "Quick Save". However, I press it after defeating a tough enemy in combat and nothing happens. No UI element tells me it saved.

I experimented and tried a F9 quick load, and it took me back to my last auto save. When can I quick save?


texts: Part of my problem with combat in The Witcher 2 currently is that I'm unsure how to react when I run out of Vigor, as I'm not sure what's required to regain it. Can I simply run away from my opponent and hide in a corner to recover it, or must I attack to regain vigor?


texts:
On many, many occasions in Skyrim, I fight an enemy and get them to low health. At this point, by far the most common thing they say is:

  No more! I yield! I yield!

I have, of course, learned better. But originally I figured "eh, what the hell, I've already pickpocketed him for everything, I'll let him live". As soon as he'd recovered enough to stand, he attacked me again (so I cut his head off).

Point is, are there any enemies that will actually yield when defeated (excluding Brawls), or is there really no honour among bandits?


texts:
Now that Kerbals can learn and develop skills I wonder what is increasing the skill level? Is it the number of flights? distance traveled? Time in space? biomes visited?

Also, what does leveling my Kerbals do? Do they get better at certain tasks? If so, what is unlocked at each level?


texts: What the heck do I do at the N7: Fuel Reactor mission

texts:
I've just landed on the planet & met Capt'n Riley. What the heck do I do after meeting her?

I can't venture out, I get killed by radiation.

I see this display for crane operation, I'm not sure how that works after fiddling with it..


texts: How rare is the blue card (in monkey knowledge pack)?

texts: I've gotten this card twice in my whole lifetime of playing Bloons Monkey City, and I was wondering about the chances of getting this bounty card.


texts:
On some games, like tribal survival management. When you tell a person, to collect "fishes" for example and then ratio is 1 fish/minute and you turn your computer for 2 hours. When you will log in after these 2 hours, you will get 120 fishes.

Does this rule apply to Spore? For example, if ratio is 2,0 spice/hour. Over exactly 5 hours, I will get 10 spice?


texts: What does primordial essence do? I have this bar in the center of my screen but I don't know how it fills up, what happens when it's full and what its purpose is.
