texts: What is the benefit to monster knowledge?

texts:
If you go into the Character menu and look under Attributes, then Knowledge, there's entries for all the different monsters you've learned about.

I know you can learn these entries via Books (level 3/3 knowledge right away) or by killing enough monsters (gradually increases to 3/3).

What I don't know is the value or benefit to this knowledge. Increased damage to those enemies?  Increased drops from those enemies (and if so, is that required for certain special craft components) ?  Is it just the advice to the player (like don't try to poison Endregas) ?

texts:
If I were to try to trade one city for another to an AI, what would the tradeoff be?

I'm wondering if I could coax an AI away from an area by offering him a more appealing city elsewhere for exchange.

I am also wondering if I could trade a city of mine for a locked team AI's city on another island that I cannot yet reach (deep sea).


texts: How in-sync is the Elite: Dangerous calendar, compared to real time?

texts:
The Elite: Dangerous game universe operates in real-time, at a 1:1 ratio, with a time offset of "UTC +1286 years".

This means, in general, that if the real-world UTC date is 2016-09-22 (as it is for the initial version of this post) then the in-game date is 3302-09-22.

At first, this seems all well and good from a logical standpoint. Just add enough full years to real-time, and you can make translations between the current date and in-game events fairly simple.

However, I'm worried it might break down when things like leap years come into play. (Assuming the game runs long enough.)

As we're most accustomed to experiencing them, leap years are fairly easy to follow - just expect a 29th day in February every four years. If it were this simple, then there would be practically no problem with syncing a game's future setting with our current calendar. You'd just pick a year that's at the same point in that four-year cycle as the real world is, and be done.

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple. The Gregorian calendar skips leap years every hundred years, unless the year is divisible by 400. See the below psuedocode from Wikipedia, for another way of understanding this schedule:

  if (year is not divisible by 4) then (it is a common year)
  else if (year is not divisible by 100) then (it is a leap year)
  else if (year is not divisible by 400) then (it is a common year)
  else (it is a leap year)

If that hurts your brain like it does mine, maybe CGP Grey can help.

In any case, this would appear to set us up for years that will end up being leap years in the real world which shouldn't be leap years in-game (or vice versa) unless the time offset of the game universe was specifically planned to account for this. Sure, this could take a few centuries. But it still seems fairly possible.

So, I guess my question can be summed up as this:

Will the in-game calendar ever fall out of sync with the real-world calendar due to leap year differences? If so, when?

P.S.: We're not even gonna get started on leap seconds - for the purpose of this question, let's just pretend they don't exist.

So when, where and what for, should I use inquisitors?

texts: Can I load my xbox games from a prior console onto a brand new console?

texts:
Clueless Dad question...   I bought an XBox One S for my daughter about 2 years ago.  It came preloaded w/ Minecraft bundle, and I also bought Lego Superheroes and Just Dance, which she had loaded on to it.  Recently, the XBox has stopped working, and Microsoft shrewdly charges just enough ($140) to repair it to make me consider buying a brand new console ($240).  The choice as to whether to repair or purchase new will depend on whether I am able to transfer those games to the new XBox One.  I'm not sure where the disc for Just Dance is (it might be inside the damaged XBox), and I seem to recall that the Lego Superheroes didn't come with a disc, just an install voucher??  Minecraft was preloaded so I don't think I have a disc for that either.

Will she be able to continue to play the games I've previously purchased if I buy a new console, without repurchasing them??

texts: How to deal with Planetary Fortress with Turrets as Zerg

texts:
I'm a platinum player Zerg and I have one huge problem with ZvT.
If a terran manages to sneak expand somewhere on the map and build a planetary fortress and surround it with turrets, it's very hard to react. Even more so if the expansion is in another main with a ramp/choke.

A PF with repairing SCV:s can withstand a ridiculous amounts zerglings/rouaches and same against mutas if turret repairing is done right.

Then the terran can just rest  with his tank army and as soon as you try to take the PF down by brute force, he kills your main/natural.

The only ways I can deal with this is to go Broodlords or out expand my opponent, but it feels like there must be a better reaction to this.

Anyone has any clever ideas to deal with such situations?

texts: Do difficulty or local difficulty affect spawn rates?

texts:
Somewhere in gnembon's Simple Hostile Mob Farms, Minecraft 1.12 (Fun Farms Ep. 15) video he mentions difficulty and local difficulty but I cannot remember where in the video.

In my 1.12 survival world I ran my build of his farm for an hour, getting about 4600 items/hr on Normal and about 6500 items/hr on Hard (regional difficulty 3.19, which is much lower than the max of 6.75). I ran the Normal test before the Hard test so the local difficulty may have changed slightly. Some of this effect might be due to pack spawning or just higher spawn rates.

The answers from Advantages of hard mode in minecraft are outdated.

I am looking for evidence based answers (tests, looking through game code), not hearsay or what the wiki says if it is unsourced.

I was travelling with several hops in order to reach the final destination and in each system I stopped in during my travel I scanned the system in order to collect data (for the first time I was using my scanner).

The stations were targeted, I was not in supercruise, I was located 1000-200 metres away from the stations respectively and my weapons have been retracted, but in the "Contacts" tab nothing was listed, so I was not able to request landing.

Somewhere I've read I'd have to enable my radar, but I don't know how to do that. Was is my radar? Or better: How can one turn on/off the radar? I didn't find anything like that in the command options.

texts: CK3 levies/taxes from vassals of vassals

texts:
unfortunately I wasn't been able to find an answer to this question, so I'm just gonna ask here.
When levies (or taxes) which I get from a vassal are calculated, I only get a percentage depending on the government type. So if I have a Feudal vassal, this means I can get 25% levies - if that vassal has 100 levies, I can raise 25 levies from him.
But how is that number determined if that vassal has levies from his own vassal?
Simple example would be:
Duke X has 100 levies.
His liege Count Y gets 25%, so he has 25 levies.
The King Z (liege of Count Y) gets 25% from his Vassal Count Y.
Since Duke X is not a direct vassal to him, he only gets levies from Count Y - but that would mean that the king gets ~8 levies.
So how is this calculated exactly?
Also if Count Y has 25 levies, are the ones he has to give to his king (~8) also considered when calculating his number of levies? (Since he effectively can only get ~16 levies)?

texts: Flowchart(s) for indirect identification

texts:
There are a lot of different ways of identifying items (as expounded here), and often it seems that several steps are required. I know there are lots of tables of this information on the NetHack wiki and elsewhere, but I am looking for one or more flowcharts that cover everything to make ID-ing as painless as possible.

To clarify what I'm looking for, an example: Wands.  The first step would be to write Elbereth in the dust, then engrave Elbereth over it with the wand. This would lead to several identification messages. If the result is that the engraving vanishes, the next steps would be to zap a potion or scroll, to see if it's teleport, invisible, or cancellation. Etc.

The more complete, the better. For example, including price identification info for items that don't have messages on use.

texts: what is the official/correct term for step down triggers on a controller?

texts:
I am trying to buy a gaming controller and I have always referred to step down buttons as the L2/R2 triggers(the lower triggers) that are positioned down and back then the standard controller would have them. These have always been more comfortable for me as controllers and I have always refereed to them this way but I can't seem to find one online now that I am trying to buy them. I'm looking for something not to pricey but is a decent controller like $20-60 dollars that has these step down triggers. But apparently with out the right terminology I cant seem to find them online anywhere. I wanna say the last one I ever used was a Pelican controller on the PS2 but if I buy one of those is it PC compatible?
-Edit-

texts: Minecraft: How can we repopulate a VANILLA world with MODDED ores?

texts:
I'm currently stuck in the process of trying to finalize a modded world in Minecraft. I need to repopulate ALREADY CREATED chunks with ores from mods.

For more context:

We're trying to use a 1.7.10 Earth map. We found a couple, all of which look fine and okay.
We're also trying to use a 1.7.10 modpack
that is personalized to fit our Minecraft experience. It includes
simpler mods like ArchimedesShips and Flans as well as
worldgen-spawning stuff like Thermal Foundation, IC2, Tinker's
Construct, and Pam's HarvestCraft

Particularly, the combination of the above premises is something I can't do, but are exactly what I need to do. I'm fairly familiar with MCEdit, MultiMC, COFHCore, WorldEdit, etc., so any combination of such to produce the modded ores would be the appreciated. The closest I've gotten to such a world was using COFHCore to regen ores which kinda did it. Through some config file tampering I got Thermal Foundation ores to generate in the Vanilla Earth map. However, two problems arose: ONLY thermal foundation ores were regen-ing into the vanilla map, and it simply took too long and by the time I checked in (2 hours into regening) on how much has regened, only a part of India got all the cool new ores.

I know this might seem impossible, but I got close to what I was hoping for, so I know it's possible. I'm hoping that someone out there might know the answer or at least another step to finding it. This is a really cool idea and I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

NOTE All help is appreciated, but please don't ask me to delete chunks in MCEdit. I understand that I can delete chunks to get new chunks with modded stuff, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Some of the traps are obvious (bear traps, trip-wires), but others seem impenetrable without hitting them once and learning via dying.  Sure, death is cheap in the game, but it makes question if I'm just not looking hard enough.

Fighting the three dart-shooters makes me question this the most.

I'm interested in getting Battlefield Premium, but I already have the base game which included the Back To Karkand DLC (limited edition).

texts:
In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, there is a piece of art found during the Grandmother side quest that sheds a bit of information on the past history of Termina.

Clearly this depicts the Festival of Time, the wondrous carnival held every year in celebration of the harvest. Several interesting bits are hidden within, such as numerous Giant-inspired masks, Tingle, and a puppy.
More interesting to me, however, is the piece of paper found on the tower with some cryptic lettering on it, as well as a strangely-out-of-place Odolwa's Mask, the mask of the boss of Woodfall Temple. The lettering seems to closely resemble some Ancient Hylian fonts, though there are some strange differences. I was unable to translate it.

My twofold question (or perhaps twinmold?): What might the significance of Odolwa's mask just hanging out here be? And, more pertinently, is the Terminian text translatable, and if so, what does it say?

Attacking with a Commander slows down chain depletion before the stagger, does it also increase the stagger time? How is the length of the stagger bonus determined and is there anything I can to to increase it?

Currently I'm trying to create a system that only allows certain command block events to trigger once to each person. Rather than setting up a system at the spawn to set the starting value for the points objective for each new player to 0 I want to create a series of command blocks to check if the player's points value is less than a certain number (to prevent them from triggering it multiple times). I hope that it could also apply to undefined starting values, that way new players could still trigger it the first time as well.

I've come up with an unsuccessful solution

/testfor @a[score_points_min!=1]

and would appreciate any assistance with this predicament.

texts:
I have a large amount of plump helmets to make alcohol. Some have been placed in barrels, and others placed directly on the food stockpile.

The Still is in the same room as the food stockpile where all the plants are. Whenever I get new plants, I always begin making alcohol with the Still by queuing up the brew from plant option.

The brewer begins brewing, but after a minute or two, I suddenly get spammed with messages that say:

<dwarf_name> cancels Brew drink from plant: Needs unrotten DRINK_MAT-producing plants

Then the option to brew from plant becomes red. Yet, my food stockpile still has a large amount of plump helmets.

There is a thread on bay12forums that has the same problem, and the proposed checklist on page 2 does not apply to me because:

(a) My stockpile is not linked to my Still. Anyone can access it.

(b) My plants are not being hauled. They are already on the ground in the stockpile or in standing barrels.

(c) My stockpile and Still are not in a burrow.

I'm using Mayday tileset, although I don't think this should matter?

What could be wrong?


texts: Is a gaming laptop noticable louder than desktop computer?

texts:
It seems to me that normal PCs without water cooling and without specifically modded gfx-card-fans are the vacuum cleaners among the home electronics, especially when playing a gfx heavy game. (Which it appears is pretty much every game that's released today :-)

I have been thinking that a gaming laptop could provide some value on the noise front at a higher price, but without the hassle I'd have to go through screwing a "silent" machine together myself. (obviously plus the added mobility + space-saving bonus)

texts: Do any other Overwatch heroes know Soldier:76's and Reaper's real identities?

texts:
Soldier: 76 is Jack Morrison, former commander of Overwatch, and Reaper is Gabriel Reyes, former head of the Blackwatch arm of Overwatch.

After the explosion on Overwatch HQ in which both are presumed dead, it's unclear to me who knows who Soldier: 76 actually is and who Reaper actually is.  As an example, Mercy clearly knows that S:76 is Jack and Reaper is Gabriel -- so does Ana.  But Pharah's voice line with S:76 indicates that perhaps she isn't aware of who he really is, as indicated by:

  S76: Your mother would've been proud of you, y'know...

  Pharah: I guess you didn't know my mother very well...

Thus, are there any Overwatch heroes who are simply unaware who these two heroes are, canonically?   Is everyone on the team fully aware that S:76 is Jack, and Reaper is Gabe, or are some still clueless as to who they are?

texts: Both the fiance and I have had trouble storing the Attrazione car in our garages in Saints Row the Third. We've been able to find them, drive them, and take them into our garages; but once they're in there, even if we press "Y" (Xbox 360, standard control setup) to store it, it doesn't store--it will remain in the same location in which it was parked rather than disappearing, and no message displays saying that it has been stored. When looking at the stored car list, its name does not show. Additionally, after looking at the stored car list, the Attrazione disappears (and is still not stored in the garage). We have had this problem on each of our profiles, and we play on the same Xbox 360 console. This has occurred on different days after various turnings-on and -off of the console. Does anyone know why we are unable to store the Attrazione in our garages?

texts: Can an stasised oponent be executed by a Mutons execute ability?

texts:
Todays challange just looks awesome, you have a squad of psi operatives and templas supported by a squad of heavy advent infatry.

The Muton has the Execute ability, which I luckily never encoutnered in the battlefield before. It kills an adjacent stunned unit instantly (Not mentioning of dealing damage). So stasis makes the target imune of receiving damage, but not literaly saying giving immunity to die.

And as that ability is the only one I can see in the current squad, that could give any means of stun, at all. But as I only can do the challange once, I don't jsut want to try it out and fail if it doesn't work,

So would a Muton be able to execute an stasised opponent?

texts: Which parts of the Story mode, will successfully doing a 'stealth kill' with a silenced weapon affect gameplay?

texts:
I've observed that when you kill the first group of enemies you meet in Chapter 5, with the default silenced pistol and without any enemy being able to fire a shot, enemies won't be alerted to your location and Max Payne will comment on the stealth kill. (I'm not sure if not doing a stealth kill will change how this part plays out, though [like enemies being alerted and immediately attacking at that part if a non-silenced weapon was fired]).

However, it seems that this doesn't seem to be the case with the next group and the rest of the enemies you will encounter in that chapter. It doesn't seem to matter if it is a stealth kill with a silenced weapon or if you use non-silenced weapons - all the enemies in the level will seem to be alerted to your presence if you engage in a gunfight with any enemy. This leads me to believe that the 'silencer' of a weapon does not really matter that much in most parts of the game.

Hence, my question: Which parts of the game's Story mode, will successfully doing a 'stealth kill' with a silenced weapon affect gameplay? (i.e. Max Payne commenting on the stealth kill, enemies not being alerted to your location or other gameplay changes)


texts: Are enemy Dragon's Shouts tied to magicka?

texts:
My dragon slaying strategy right now is using dragonrend to get the dragon to land and then hitting it with dual spark spells. The spark spells deal magicka damage as well as health damage. I have been noticing something interesting part way into these battles. If I'm able to keep a spark spell on the dragon for long enough, it eventually stops using it's breath attacks and settles for trying to bite my head off, typically for the rest of the battle, save a short burst or two occasionally. I don't remember getting this behavior during the mundane dragon battles (using pointy objects). This leads me to believe that in the dragons, the devs might have decided to limit the breath attacks by using magicka rather than a recharge timer like the player gets for the thu'ums.

So, are the dragon's thu'ums linked to their magicka, or is just some odd behavior?


texts: How much xp/prestige do you gain at a gym by training?

texts:
I have tested this a little bit and I'm not quite sure I understand the exact numbers or what impacts them.

I took a gym, put in a 25cp Magikarp, and trained against it.

521cp Vaporeon: 10xp and 100 prestige

10cp Magnemite: 100xp and 1000 prestige

I didn't record other numbers, but I know I would only get around 800ish prestige with pokemon around the 25cp-35cp range.

Purpose to this (feel no need to answer these): What if there were 2+ low cp defenders? Would I gain 100xp per defeat as long as my cp is equal to or lower than theirs? Could I gain more xp if the defender was 500cp and I won with a 200cp? Is this a strat to take down more prestige at an opposing gym (low cp, type advantage)?

For all I know, getting less than 100xp per defeat is based on HP difference, attack power difference, or even how many attacks it took to win.

Does anyone know the math for how much xp you gain or prestige you gain when training, and how much they lose at opposing gyms?

Thanks!

texts:
I’m looking for a way to execute a command if an entity is within a certain area of another one. More specifically, I want to know when a player is anywhere along an armour stands y axis to create a command run barrier around a watery area, I can’t use barrier blocks because it takes longer, and creates an annoying air pocket where there shouldn’t be one.
One way I found to do this was
/execute positioned ~ ~20 ~ run execute if entity @e[distance=..1]

But this would create a 1x1x1 sphere you need to be in to make the condition true, and I want it to be a 1x256x1 sphere.
So once more, I am asking is there a way to have an execute if entity command along one coordinate, in my case the Y coordinate?
Here is a command that would work for what I need, the problem is that I would have to run a separate command for every 2 blocks.
/execute if entity @e[x=20, z=30, distance=..2] run say You’re on my y axis!

Could be pretty lame if you only have to run and get killed to clear an area a process to the next room.

texts: How can I best position Olaf for Effective Jungling Axe Throws?

texts:
I've just started learning to jungle, and I've found that there is one key to jungling as Olaf, in my experience: positioning Olaf and effectively striking the maximum number of monsters while throwing the axe the shortest distance, to reduce its cooldown instantly without having to run around to retrieve it.

I'm having issues finding the right spots for all the creep camps.  Blue doesn't make too much difference, because with a leash they're moving anyway so they can be aligned however you like.  Wolves I've been hit or miss on, but they're also not too much of an issue because they're all melee, so after the first axe, they're easy to hit.

It is the wraiths and red buff camp that I am in the dark on.  I find myself running around a lot to hit the wraiths with my axes, and the red camp, since 2 of them don't move, I wind up only hitting 2/3 at a time, and that's causing my jungle time to be significantly slowed.

I've watched TheOddOne's videos on YouTube, but I can't seem to get the same position that he has in the video where he hits all 3 of the red buff camp, nor at the wraith camp.  Are there any good quality images of where I should be standing, and where my cursor should be, to utilize my axe throw to the greatest potential in the jungle as Olaf, specifically on red buff and wraith camps?  I'm also concerned with the top/bottom mirroring--I seem to be better at certain camps on top vs bottom, and the reverse for others.

texts: Setting up a MC server on Ubuntu Server 19.04

texts:
I'm trying to setup a Minecraft server of my own. I've successfully done so before on Windows, but since the new server will be always on and headless (remote access only, no screen or other peripherals attatched), I decided to use Ubuntu instead. Figured it couldn't be too different, but I was wrong.

Google isn't much of a help: every tutorial starts with a list of dependencies to install, and every tutorial has a different list.

On Windows, it was as simple as installing a JRE and downloading and running the server.jar. I don't see why I need a JDK, and why I specifically need a headless JDK. I also don't understand why I would need the Screen package on a displayless server.

Of course, none of the tutorials actually explain WHY I need those dependencies, or what they do. I'm no security expert, but I refuse to install a random list of programs just because a site tells me it will work. Therefore, I'd like to ask what dependencies I NEED to install, and why?

Any other help or tips are also appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

texts: Skyrim crashes to desktop in populated areas

texts:
I've been playing Skyrim for a few months without issue -- character is level 38.

Suddenly, today, I'm getting very frequent crashes to desktop -- usually when I'm in major cities. Often just after fast travelling, but can also happen while I'm running/sprinting through town. It may not be related by my sprint function (ALT) has gotten a little sticky-glitchy today, too.

I've tried lowering various setting (shadows, anti-aliasing, etc). Seemed to help a little but not much -- or that may have been coincidence. Screen resolution is at the lowest setting. I read on other fora that sometimes the size of individual game files could be problematic, if they're near 18MB -- mine are all under 10MB (though I tried the sleep-for-7-days fix that was recommended to help that, just in case). I've read that some mods can be problematic, but I'm only running one small mod -- the one that make veils of ore glow, so you can spot them easily -- and the problem never happens when I'm out in the wilderness near ore veils, so I think it's unrelated.

Anyone? Anything? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. Ideally couched in human-speak, rather than computer-speak ... I'm only semi-computer literate.

texts: At which player level are new gun levels unlocked?

texts:
I currently have a crafted level III version of the deluxe edition gun and I could craft level IV, but since there is a bug preventing you from deconstructing DLC weapons (ie you lose the augments used during crafting), I'd prefer to skip level IV if level V unlocks soon.

Level V was not unlocked with player level 25 (which I had initially assumed since 1 gun level per 5 player levels would fit well) so I'm curious when it will unlock.

texts: How do I play my Zoo Warlock against a Shaman with Lightning Storm?

texts:
I'm currently playing Reynad's modern Zoo deck (decklist), and one matchup where I'm not sure how to play is against a Shaman that likely has Lightning Storm.

The Warlock Zoo deck tends to flood the board with cheap minions, and many of the minions are in the range where Lightning Storm can kill them. Having a nearly full deck killed usually makes me lose the game, but keeping minions in hand tends to neutralize the Zoo deck's strength.

How do I play the deck effectively against Shamans? When should I try to play around Lightning Storm, and when should I flood the board? Anything else I should do to minimize the impact of that particular AoE spell?

Is it safe to store my loot in the Goodsprings schoolhouse? Will it stay, or will it eventually disappear after x amount of in-game time or x number of save/load cycles?

Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion begins with Uldren Sov escaping from the Prison of Elders, but I thought his whereabouts were unknown following the events of The Taken King. Is there writing somewhere that explains what he was doing between The Taken King and Forsaken?

edit: I think I was mistaken about Uldren Sov escaping from the Prison of Elders. He traveled there to break the Barons out of the prison, but I don't think he was imprisoned there himself.

texts: Do amplified worlds have any flat areas?

texts:
My friends and I would like to use a world on 'amplified' world type, which increases something or other by doing this and that... I really dont understand how it works, but I would like to know if amplified worlds actually have flat areas that are common/ large enough to build on, because when I looked at them in a snapshot a while back (I forget which), the mountains were so ridiculously huge and crowded together that I could not find a suitable place to build for my life.

Are areas where y values change by less than 5 in a radius of 8 blocks in every direction (I say this only to lay down a definition for "build able") possible in amplified type worlds, and are they common enough that I could find one in less than 10 minutes of searching? (we generally spend about this long finding an area anyways)

My question is: How many bee hives spawn per jungle and does it matter on the size of the world if it is multiple like the floating islands? I have checked the wiki and it says nothing about it.

texts: How to make a block disappear after a certain period of time

texts:
So I am making a 'magic trail', which is essentially wherever you walk and jump, a block will be placed below you. Unfortunately, the trail will always stick around and never go away. After a while this means that there will be a giant trail of blocks through the sky that looks pretty ugly. What I want to do is make a block disappear after a certain period of time, say, 7 seconds. Here are the commands and the setup for this project:

Command block #1: /setblock ~ ~ ~-1 redstone_block 0 destroy
Command block #2: /execute @a ~ ~ ~ /fill ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ wool 0 replace  air
Redstone block: []

            #2
Setup:   #1 []

Note: Please don't try a method using a FallingSandEntity and Age because I want to have the player be able to actually walk on the blocks. If you use a FallingSandEntity the player will fall right through the block. Anyways, all help is appreciated, thanks! Also, if you want to try doing this with the fill command, I would want a 7x7x7 hollow cube surrounding the player so that the trail can't go outside the blocks. I just don't know how to do this.

texts: Which elements and ailments have the most vulnerabilities / resistances?

texts:
In the Monster Hunter Field Guide, each monster has a vulnerability rating for each element and ailment, from 0 (high resistance) to 3 stars (high vulnerability).

The picture above shows that the Diablos is very vulnerable to Ice and Paralysis (3-star), but very resistant to Fire (0-star / X).

It's best to have multiple weapons of different types so you can attack each monster most efficiently, so I'm not asking which element is "the best". But, if you wanted to focus on / prioritize certain weapons more than others, because of material limitations or tree structure, which element / ailment types are large monsters most commonly vulnerable / resistant to?

Before I could pick up the blocks I was lagged out, and now I can't connect. When I try my client give me a grey screen.  I stopped the server immediately to prevent more block from piling up, but I still can't connect.

How can I save my map? Is there a way to remove all broken floating blocks?

It seems like the second island has far fewer wild animals... Again, maybe that's just the weapons I'm using.

  How to quickly create a safe shelter

I just got the game yesterday, and while I'm dying and restarting a ton of times while attempting to learn the ropes, I'm having a really good time with it.

I've learned that the first thing I need is very clearly some shelter. I've figured out about pickaxes and doors by reading the beginners guide, but I'm not sure I'm approaching this correctly. Generally, to avoid a quick death on the first night out, I dig a cave and put a door on it. That has worked out okay so far, except for the one time I found a natural pocket filled with water and flooded my cave. Or when that same pocket started spawning skeletons.

This go around I have found a nice area to mine and built it in to a cave, but I just noticed sheep have spawned in the middle of the main corridor (I thought it odd that grass was starting to grow inside), so this has me paranoid that whatever horrors lurk in the night are going to start spawning in my house.

I also noticed I can't place my bed, so this is (in my mind) confirming my thoughts that this doesn't count as some place that is "safe".

So, I have very minimal supplies right now (or at the beginning of any game), how can I make something that qualifies as a house and won't get me killed?

I have an iPhone 6+ running the newest 10.0.2 update. I am logging in with the PTC and not with google. I have been playing the game since Mid-July with absolutely no issues. Starting after the newest iPhone update the game would randomly crash on me during game play a lot. Battling a gym, catching a pokemon, at pokestops it didn't matter just crash and I would re-start with no issues. Until this past week I started having issues logging in, the load bar would get about 10% then sign out would pop up and it would say "failed to login". Sometimes it would randomly work and I could play but mostly it didn't. I started logging in on wifi at home then leaving the house and could play for a while unless it crashed and then it would go back to failed to login in. And now three days ago, I can log-in from home on wi-fi and play but as soon as I leave wi-fi although the game is still on if I click on a pokemon I get "error", if I click on a gym I get "network error". So I can no longer play at all unless I am connected to wi-fi.

Now before you mark this as a duplicate, I would like to point out I have an iPhone and the android fixes from other questions will NOT help me.

I have been researching this all day and cannot seem to find anyone with an iPhone that is having the same issue and it has been resolved. Seems plenty of people have this issue but I have yet to see a fix for the iPhone.

So anyone else have this problem and find a way to fix it? Thank you.

I'm trying out using Multicraft to manage some aspects of my public server. There's a command option that is supposed to allow commands to be run by the web app when players type the commands into chat. It would be a usuful way of allowing staff to do certain things without giving them op privileges.

Right now using teams/triggers they have the ability to go into and out of spectator mode, but I wanted to give them the ability to teleport to players (in spectator) to check on them. ie. When they log on for the first time, they sometimes come in hacking and breaking things...

The settings in the control panel for this is:

Name:          Teleport Other
Required Role: [Administrator]
Prerequisite:
Chat:
Response:
Run:           builtin:tp_other

This is one of the built in ones, but I can't seem to get it to work (I set myself as an Admin). Does anybody know the appropriate settings to use here and the right thing to type into chat to get it to work?

texts:
From what I understand, when you're editing your appearance at the beginning of the game, at the bottom of the screen a "face code" is generated. This "face code" consists of a string of text that represents the details of your character's face. For example, this one possible face code:

  141.111.WW1.Q7Q.CAE.34M.9L5.711.QN8.B13.B4B.17A

The above face code represents the following face:

This is an extremely convenient way to share your character's appearance with people, but it's not so convenient to access. For all I know, the only time you can access this face code is during the appearance editing process. If you wanted to share your face with  someone after leaving that interface, there is no way to do so. But this is all, again, "for all I know"...

Is there a way to access your face code after leaving the appearance editing interface at the beginning of the game?

(Note: Credit goes to these guys at the Bioware forum for introducing me to the face code.)


texts:
In Minecraft, biomes are (supposedly) decided by an area's calculated temperature and moisture.  A very "dry" area may be a desert, a "cold" area may be a tundra, etc.

This also affects things like grass color.  In my experience, forests tend to have darker grass than plains.

If I, for example, plant a lot of trees in a plain, will it be handled as a forest and make the grass darker?  (There's a specific area of my map that would be great for building a base, but the grass annoys me.)

texts: Are there really no more mobsters once you've completed the game?

texts:
I was playing The Godfather 2 and enjoying the game just playing through without worrying at all about the trophies for the game. Then I got to the end and saw the Executions In Style trophy which merely states "Complete all execution styles." I thought it would be simple and I could just use cops or civilians, but apparently the trophy only counts if you complete them on mobsters.

So, doing some research, I noticed that PS3Trophies.com says there are still 2 mobsters that exist after you finish the game:

  The Last Mobster
  Finished the game? You're not screwed. Just slightly. There are two "Mobsters" remaining in the game. Kill some Mobsters or finish the Executions by going to Casino Imperial in Cuba. The green ones. Wait for them to respawn.

However, pretty much every other source I've found on the Internet says that no additional mobsters exist once you've completed the game. I tried waiting around as the casino for a little bit before quitting the game and I didn't see any mobsters. Does anyone know for sure that there are no mobsters after the game is over? What do these supposed "mobsters" at the casino look like? I was going off the target aimer looking for a Family icon to appear next to their name (in the top right) and din't see any green icons pop up.

If I do have to start a new game to execute more mobsters for the trophy, do I have to redo all of them or is the trophy data maintained over multiple save games (so I'd only have to complete the ones I didn't complete in the first save game)?


texts: Is it possible to tell if the Gangsters will backstab you on Day 2 of rats?

texts:
Some background information here:

In the mission Rats, your objective for the second day is to trade the Meth you cooked on the first day for information about the whereabouts of "The Mendozas" (the syndicate you are trying to take down).

On the second day, you are essentially supposed to throw bags of Meth into the back of a truck and then collect the information from a safe.

However, on occasion (which is randomly determined), the Gangsters can end up betraying your crew, leaving the safe locked and attempting to kill you.

This often seriously complicates the mission as players are unprepared for the sudden assault. In addition, you and your crew would have to drill through the safes and fend off the cops at the same time. While this isn't much of a problem conventionally, it can be on difficulties like Deathwish or if you intend to steal the Meth back.

So here is my question:

I remember hearing on a certain twitch stream that there are tells to determine whether the Gangsters will betray you. I believe it has something to do with the words that are used and phrases that are said by the Gangsters. However I am not entirely sure. This will however, allow for my crew to prepare for the onslaught and fend them off.

Is there even such a tell? If so, what is it?

Just started playing Hurtworld since it was released on Steam. As a "hardcore survival" game, it's difficult to get started in a populated area due to lack of resources. You need wood and flint to make a campfire, and you don't have much time before night sets and you start to freeze to death.

Besides being inside a structure and making a campfire, are there any other ways to keep yourself warm? For example, you can run/sprint in DayZ and it will warm you up somewhat. That doesn't seem to be the case here though.

Now maybe I missed something the first two times around, but I know for certain that I didn't save him the third time I played the game.

I'm aware that without disabling some stuff before reaching the base, Kirrahe will almost certainly die, however, I'd like to know if there's a time component, or other specific actions that will effect this outcome.  Of special interest is whether choosing to aid the team at the AA guns or return to the bomb site has any effect.

texts: How can I play multiplayer against creeps on Minecraft SMP servers?

texts:
I purchased Minecraft yesterday and from what I've read, I understand that there are survival multiplayer servers, but so far none have any survival elements. Most have day/night cycles, but you can't lose health and no creeps spawn.

How can I play multiplayer against creeps?

Update: I found this question on how to host a SMP game.


texts: GBA SP screen suddenly turning darker for no reason

texts:
Hello all a few weeks ago I bought a GBA SP for well nostalgia and all that.
But now suddenly two issues have come up (One which I fixed I think).

Issue #1: The GBA SP suddenly turning off, checking some other sources this seem to be a battery issue. So I got a new battery and the issue is fixed for now. Or could there be some other cause?

Issue #2: Also the screen randomly turns dark, then when I flip it around a bit it gets at the normal brightness, after some testing it seems that the flipping the screen open/close again does fix the issue for a bit but after a few minutes the screen turns black. This is also before the battery change but after as well.

This makes me think that the screen backlight is broken, or could there be some other reason? Does anyone have tips on how to fix this? Any help would be appriciated.

Also my GBA SP model is AGS 001. Thank you for the help in advance!

texts: In the new TF2 winter update I have noticed that when some people die, they leave behind a gift. I have picked several of these gifts up, but nothing has been placed in my inventory and I have gotten no notifications except an achievement for picking up 3 of the gifts. Do these gifts have any other purpose?

texts: "The data is corrupted" error when copying save game from PS Vita to PSP 3000

texts:
I would like to record some game play and I have the required cables to do this on the PSP 3000. My problem is that my game saved game file is on a PS Vita and when I try to copy the saved game to my PSP 3000 it tells me that the data is corrupted.

"Load failed the data is corrupted 80110306"

I have seen this answer but it is the other way around.

So, can someone help me transferring the saved data from my PS Vita to my PSP 3000 or record the screen from my PS Vita?

texts: I find it fun trying to survive in a griefed environment in Minecraft, but it is tedious to create a new map, build lots of large buildings, half-tear them down, and then build thousands of tall towers out of random materials.  Is there a world generator that can create griefed maps like this automatically?
