texts: Is it mandatory to only use alkaline batteries (“LR6” designation) with the Xbox One controller?

texts:
According to Xbox support:

  When replacing the batteries in your Xbox One Wireless Controller, use only AA batteries that have an “LR6” designation (alkaline batteries).

I have two types of rechargeable batteries from two manufacturers (Sony and Varta) and both are nickel metal hydride (NiMH, see battery types compared). I don't want to purchase new batteries solely for the controller, especially not disposable models due to environmental waste and cost.


texts: Selling 3 maps to obtain specific map of next tier (atlas 3.9+)

texts:
Vendoring 3x maps will yield a map of +1 tier. Before watchstones update (atlas change in 3.9) the result was always a single predefined map. Now it's one of many maps and I am trying to figure out the rules.

I've found this helpful spreadsheet, to example, selling 3x T1 Warf maps may yield one of following up T2 maps:

Alleyways
Cursed Crypt
Laboratory
Strand

Let's say I need Cursed Crypt map. How do I get it?

I figured out it's a function from item unique ID.

Currently I am putting all Warf maps in my inventory. To example I have 5 maps and I am putting them like on screenshot below and then I am trying to sell 3 of them by control-clicking map in inventory (always from top to bottom):

which can be seen as binary bits: 11100. So I am trying all unordered combinations possible, with following real outcome:

11100 -> Laboratory
11010 -> Strand
11001 -> Laboratory
10110 -> Strand
10101 -> Alleyways
10011 -> Alleyways

How do I get Cursed Crypt map. Do I miss some other parameter of that function?

texts: In-game I have noticed what appears to be a carry-over of damage on a second enemy after a critical hit one the first enemy. I'm thinking it might just be a coincidence, but if it is a coincidence, it seems to be a very common one. However, I have been unable to verify one way or the other if crit-damage carries over or not. This article mentions critical hits, but only says to take advantage of them and explains that they do increased damage to the targeted enemy. Likewise, this tip list mentions critical hits, but does not discuss whether the damage carries over. I had hoped that Bethesda's forum question "How Does Quest Combat Work in Fallout Shelter?" would lead to better insights, but it was the most vague of the three. So the question remains: Does Critical Damage Carry Over to Secondary Enemies in Fallout Shelter?

Recently I bought a 3DS in America, but soon I'm moving to Australia.

I've heard that the device is region locked, so I know that if I buy any games in Australia, they won't work on my 3DS.

I want to know if I'll be "locked out" of the network and eShop when I move, or if any of my downloaded eShop games will stop working.

Has anyone had any experience with using the eShop and downloaded games outside of the country where the 3DS was purchased, and do you know if there is any sort of region detection on the 3DS?

I saw this question but it's slightly different and doesn't really answer my question.

texts: How do you trade commodities between cities?

My end goal is to create a tech city. The very first city I created I tried this, but soon ran into resource problems.

I then started a new region, my first city was mining. When I got to the point where I could smelt, I wanted to start creating alloys (for the later tech city), but of course I needed coal. So I started a second city that just mines coal. All good so far. I have two cities, one mines ore, the other mines coal.

At this point I want to send the coal I mine from city 2 to city 1, instead of having to buy it from the global market. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this. I have searched far and wide. Please Stack Exchange, help me out, it's very frustrating.

In Saints Row, The Third, I can't figure out how points for burnouts work and how you can earn maximum respect from them.

To get one started, you hold your brake and accelerator in the car. Even then though sometimes the game doesn't award anything for a burnout. It doesn't even seem consistent how it starts awarding points for it. At one point I thought the #/12 counter meant that if you did one for 12 seconds, you would get maximum respect, but that's not the case. I've also tried doing 12 doughnuts thinking that was maybe it. The most points I've ever been awarded is around 5 of 12 or 6 of 12, but nothing higher. Is there a way to earn all 12 of 12 possible points?


texts: Nier Automata - 9S Hacking Base Damage (With No Hacking Chips Factored)

texts:
I am trying to figure out what factors attribute to the base damage when hacking with 9S ignoring any additional damage that is attributed to +Combust chips (thus base damange). This would be explicit to such cases where a single hack does not destroy the enemy. Take, for example, the Special Rank Gambler's Colosseum located in the Flooded Coast area. Most of the combatants require more than a single hack to destroy. Is there a damage value that can be reached through some formula or just a set arbitrary value that was assigned to the encounter respective to the story?

There was a very helpful post here about the damage 9S takes when failing a hack that I found to be rather informative, but does not actually help to answer my own question aside from coming to the conclusion that the Special Rank Colosseum battles deviate from the typical in game mechanics.

Nier Automata - How much damage do you take when failing a hack?

What I find to be interesting is that the player to submit the answer failed hacks on both a grunt mob and a boss mob from a general area in the game and found the hack failure penalty to be about 20% of Max Health and found that multiple hack failures did not add additional penalty to the damage. That being said, I can tell you that failing a hack in the Special Rank Gamblers Colosseum does not follow this metric and leaves me with limping, greyscaled and frantic to jump back in to a new hack.

I'm just curious if anyone knows if it's possible to increase your base hack damage and what chips, aside from Combust, would be responsible for the increase.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit I am including my current chipset for 9S that I am using for above mentioned Special Rank Event.  There is no need to add additional Combust chips as 2x lvl 1 chips already meets cap.

I do not know what happened. I do not know if it was an update, corruption of data, or whatever. I just cannot get my Pokemon Go to load with my google account any more. I was level 10, with a good collection of pokemon and items. Hatched a Staryu last night and that was an awesome feeling.

Here is the Rundown:

I start PokemonGO - It brings me to the sign in screen - I tap on "Sign in with Google Account" - Then loading screen pops up - Pauses and a black screen appears, and disappears in like a half a second - then goes back to the load screen with the spinning pokeball - then it says "GPS signal not found" for like a second, then goes away - continues loading FOREVER.

I cannot log in or get into the game no matter how long I let that screen load. I have created a PokemonGO account (the other option instead of google account), but I really hate starting from the bottom. I already had a good collection, some Pokecoins, and a reputation. If anyone can help, then please do.

Before commenting, this is what I have tried:

Resetting App
Resetting Phone
HARD Resetting Phone (taking out battery and holding power button)
Clearing cache
Clearing Data
Turning off and on WiFi
Turning off and on Airplane Mode
Disabling App
Keeping loading screen on for a LOOONG while.

I have done all of this, and a combination of a few of them together.

Should I try to disassemble it further? How long should I wait before trying to power it up again?

Lastly where does the little metal plate go that fell out when I took the case off?

I went back inside the bunker and he's not there either (the map only has two marks, for myself and Garrus). His name and health don't appear in the lower left. Even the equipment and squad menus on the start menu don't show him.

Is this something that's supposed to happen? Or a glitch? There was no notification (at least, not that I noticed), and it's never happened to me before, so I'm pretty confused. I googled it and found some people talking about the same thing, but there was nothing very enlightening.

So I've been experimenting with sunken rooms (where the house in general is built on a foundation, but some rooms are built lower on ground level with modular stairs making them accessible from the rest of the house).

My house currently has 3 such rooms:

Living room
Part of the bedroom
Study

Unfortunately, given that it appears that there's snow on the floor of 2 of these rooms (bedroom and living room), I'm guessing there's a problem with the ceiling.

Here's how I built the rooms:

Place foundation for the room
Build the walls
constrainfloorelevation false
Remove foundation
Place bottom section of wall
Auto-level walls

My roof is basically just a 2nd story that I've surrounded with one of the small walls (not the "waist height" ones).

I've taken some screenshots to help clarify what's going on.

I am wondering if this has an impact for the majority of players trying to pug HC/Mythic/M+ content.

Currently I am clearing Mythic and doing high (+18-+21) Mythic+ content with my guild so I personally (currently) dont have the need to pug, but I am wondering if should I leave, if the Warcraft logs Perf ratings and my Mythic+ score will significantly boost my chances of being taken in the dungeon/raidfinger.

What are the experienes there? Are many people stalking chars for those things? Will it increase my chances significantly?

texts: How to install bomb in Project IGI Mission 2

texts:
I am playing Project IGI 1 and I am on Mission 2.

In this mission I got all the bombs/weapon I need to blast the tank. But when I plant it by clicking the mouse it exploded. I checked out some you tube video and found that I need to install the tank bomb on tank. For that which button on keyboard I need to press.. I am running this on all default controls assigned.

I tried with RIGHT SHIFT , but no luck.

Could anyone please help me here, I am stuck in Mission2 :-(

texts:
In the new update, they moved "Hours played" and "Last played" stats to the right column in the Library Detail View.

Is there a way I can move it back to where it was?  To help illustrate, here is a picture:

I am wanting to take the states in the RED box and move them back where they were (GREEN box).

Client information is:
Build - Sep 10 2013, 18:49:55
API - v012
Package versions - 1378937703 / 1378937703

Unnecessary information

For those of you interested in why, here it is.  I have 2 monitors.  One is 1920x1080 (main), the other 1366x768 (side).  The main monitor is directly in front of me when at my desk.  Therefore, the side monitor is entirely to the right of me, stretching way over to the edge of my desk.

When the stats were next to the play button, they were easy to read and right in the center of the screen.  Now they are even further from me and my lazy eyes don't like it.

Why does any of that matter?  Well I use these stats to determine which games I have yet to play (buying Humble Bundles really crowds up my list and it can get hard to keep track of which games I have yet to start up).  This also makes it easy for me to pick a game to play when I don't know what I want to play.  Sort of a "I haven't played Castle crashers in a long time" or "I only have 3 hours in FFVII? I should go play that!" line of thinking.

texts: How do I use my iMac as a "monitor" for my Xbox 360 and my Wii?

texts:
I ditched cable a long time ago and have been making do with Netflix, Hulu, and iTunes for my television needs. The displays on the new iMacs these days are big enough and high enough quality that I think they should be perfectly adequate for my gaming purposes, too. I will be upgrading to one of the new iMacs this fall, and I think it could replace my television entirely.

Provided, that is, that I can hook up my Xbox 360 and my Wii, so I can play them on the iMac screen.

Is this possible given the specs of the new iMacs? What hardware and/or software will I need?


texts: Can I restore my rank level back to where it was before a hacked Modern Warfare 2 server changed it?

texts:
I ended up in a hacked server. One of the hacks was - if you die by your own hand (such as falling off a skyscraper in my case) your rank (at your current prestige level) becomes 70.

While this is advantagous in that it partially unlocked things I wanted (ninja pro, claymores) so that I could earn them.   It means that a) I'm not earning xp as I play and b) I am level 70 without things fully unlocked.

(When I refer to 'partially' and 'fully' I mean that a partially unlocked thing means I still have to complete a challenge to get it, but it is 'unlocked' for my level.  Fully unlocked means I have it.  I can use it)

Is there a way to restore my account back to where it was (about level 15 third prestige)

texts: How do you teleport a player to a moving objective?

texts:
I created a big adventure map and I was able to do lots of amazing things I never thought possible with redstone, but I came across a problem I was baffled by.

I have a house in minecraft that is movable. I want to know of a way I can teleport directly to my house using a command block. The catch is that my house is never in the same spot so the x,y,z coordinates are constantly changing.

One way I thought of that might possibly work would maybe have a clock set up to record my radius around my house using /setspawn so I'll constantly have my spawn position recorded; however, this isn't very good for teleporting as I would have to kill myself. There's a possible way of keeping your inventory after you die, but you would still lose exp. I don't really like the idea of dying to re-spawn as a "tele". It seems as though I'm trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Anyone have any ideas of a way to actually teleport using a command block to some how record your current x,y,z position in a certain radius? I am also open to plugin suggestions;however, I don't like releasing a map that requires a bunch of plugins.

Oh btw I'm on a 1.7.10 build. I know the 1.8.0 added a lot of new commands.


texts: StarCraft II does not install on Mac OS X with FileVault

texts:
I have the same problem as described here.

  I've installed SC2 on two systems, one
  had this "Insert DVD" problem, the
  other did not. I deleted all of the
  files and re-downloaded on the system
  asking for a DVD and it still asked
  for the DVD. I tried moving the files
  out of my home directory as suggested
  by another user here and it worked.
  Out of curiosity I tried moving the
  files to somewhere other than
  /Applications (I used /Users/Shared)
  and it still worked. The one thing
  that comes to mind as a difference
  between my two systems is that the
  system where I'm asked for a DVD if
  the files are in my home directory has
  Filevault (home directory encryption)
  turned on. The system where I was not
  asked for a DVD does not have
  Filevault enabled. I wonder if the
  installer is confused by Filevault.

I'm wondering if someone here had the same problem and found a solution to this.

texts: What exactly is the damage bonus when performing a series of three auto attacks?

texts:
According to this wiki :

  performing a series of three Auto Attacks makes the amount of damage
  of each attack increase

I remember that from the tutorial at the beginning of the game plus the fact that if you use an art after the third auto attack it will deal more damage.

For the art to deal extra damage you have to press the button right when the auto attack hits. Then there is a small white circle that pops when you do it properly if I remember correctly. If you then chain with another art after the previous one hit you have the same effect (the white circle popping). You can also continue by using a blade special with the correct timing.

So basically if I were to perform the following chain :

  auto attack > auto attack > auto attack > art 1 > art 2 > art 3 >
  blade special

What would the damage bonus be at each stage ? Is art 1 the only one which benefits from the third auto attack bonus ?


texts: Is true damage listed as magic damage in the statistics?

texts:
So I recently played Vayne and I took a look at the damage statistics after the game. What kind of surprised me was the fact that the statistic showed me that I dealt a small amount of magic damage and as far as I know Vayne has absolutely no spell damage and I also didn't buy any Items that apply on-hit effects (except for BotrK which is physical).

So is True damage = Magic damage? And if not where could this rather small amount of damage come from?

texts:
I've noticed on my multi-tool that if I can only have up to one of a specific upgrade but can have multiples of the same type of upgrade if they give different bonus amounts.

For example, let's say I've got a mining laser and the level 2 upgrade that gives it more combat damage. I go into the crafting screen and see that I can still craft and add the level 1 upgrade that gives it more combat damage, but I can't create a second level 2 upgrade for it.

If it has both the level 1 and level 2 upgrade, do they stack, or does it just take the best one? I'm currently coming at this from the reverse way where I've got a multi-tool that has multiple upgrades of the same type on it that I want to dismantle to make space if the lower-level ones aren't actually doing anything, but am afraid to try it out because I don't have the blueprints to recraft them if it stacks. Plus, I'm not entirely sure the best way to test it.

texts: Bottle 'o enchanting recipe using commands?

texts:
I'm trying to make a crafting recipe for xp bottles in Minecraft 1.13. I've made the recipe, and I've got a command block that removes xp when you craft it:

/experience add @a[scores={xp=1}] -7 points

The xp objective is simply minecraft.crafted:minecraft.experience_bottle
Another command block removes the score afterwards
I'm removing 7 points because 1 bottle gives between 3 and 11 points so I took the rough average as a compromise

Now I'm trying to figure out how to stop people from doing it when they have no xp.
I was thinking a system that removes the xp bottle from your inventory after crafting if you don't have any xp, but I don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions?

texts: Why doesn't my Day Z inventory save on only one of my computers?

texts:
We have two computers in the house (and two Day Z "accounts").  On one of these computers, it is not possible to save items past a certain point in my inventory.  After playing around with it for far too long, it seems that once I pick up more than one pistol magazine (or possibly bandage), my inventory becomes "stuck" such that any additional stuff I get disappears when I logout and any items I consume re-appear on login.  My health and location save as expected.  Dying clears the condition, but new characters run into the same problem.

On the second computer, Day Z works perfectly for both accounts.  In other words, the character whose inventory is stuck on one PC has no problem collecting things on the other PC.  This fact makes me think I can do something about it rather than chalking it up to a buggy alpha.  Here's what I've tried:

dying
lots of different servers
updating the game, including the latest 1.7.2.4/95417 beta
"verify integrity" of the Steam downloads several times (this is what I use to switch accounts)
I bought a third Arma key, and a fresh character under that key had exactly the same problem (again only on the buggy computer)
deleted everything Arma/DayZ-related I could find and reinstalled
waiting several minutes on the server before logging off (thinking it might only save my game periodically or something)

One more bit of info: on the buggy computer, my character seems to get "desynced" often such that my friends think I'm stuck in one place when I'm actually far away.  Both computers share an Internet connection, so it doesn't seem to be typical lag.

Needless to say this was very frustrating the first couple times it happened.  Does anyone have an idea as to what might be wrong?

texts: Does "Supress Map in # Turns" mean sealing monster portals

texts:
In Chapter 6 of the Serawi Route "Herald of the Dark" in the map where you have to servery the area for the new waterway by going to all the mining points one of the bonus clear objectives is to "Suppress Map in 9 turns" (am able to tell as i am using New Game + data with the option to see all bonus clear objectives set to on) however i'm not sure if it's just the monster portals i need to seal or if i need to kill every monster on the map

i would do it myself however the strategy is different depending on which it is, if i just have to seal portals then i can create a bunch of seal stones and seal them up at a distance however i need materials for that which i don't want to waist as they are also used for enhancing Serawi's, Emilita's and Yeula's armors, if i need to wipe out all monsters then i'll need to be on a higher level for most of my Mana girls (Suina, Aht, Sharty, Lilly) so i can one shot most of the monsters and have Kohakuren and the Reaper whatever her name is (it's like Rigu-something) because they both have the Interdimension ability which would allow them to warp past the map barriers into other rooms but i don't get them till Chapter 7 or 8

Either method will take time to get ready so i am wondering if "Suppress Map in 9 turns" means to just seal up all the monster portals or if i need to wipe out every monster, that way i can prepare while i'm doing all the other quests i have piled up which most need to be finished before Chapter 7

texts: zerg counter for protoss cannon at natural in early game?

texts:
I'm having a problem as zerg countering a protoss cannon play at my natural as an opener.

Sending drones to destroy the pylon really hurts my early economy, and often gets a couple drones killed when they can't destroy the pylon in time. Often the player is able to fire off a new pylon to re-activate the cannons they placed.

I've tried escaping a drone to build an expansion elsewhere, but it's relatively undefended, and I can't transfer drones there. It's not a stand-in for the local expansion.

I've also tried fast-teching to speedlings or nydus worm, but by the time I get there on a single base, the opponent has been able to mount a strong enough response.

This has been a problem whether I have a hatchery there or not. The hatchery can hold out a while against the cannons, but they obviously pick off any drones that go there.

Scouting it and delaying the hatchery puts me behind, and putting a hatchery elsewhere has made it vulnerable in the mid-game.

How can I come back against this opener?


texts: How are "immobilized" and "incapacitated" defined?

texts:
As a Sentinel at launch I got two moves: Opportune Strike and Pommel Strike (these have since been removed from the game).  These can be used on immobilized (and slowed) and incapacitated targets respectively.  Initially I was able to use Pommel Strike on droids I had CC'd, but that no longer seems to be the case.  As well, one of them lights up when I'm holding an enemy still with Force Stasis, but I can't actually use it since the moment I click it the enemy is no longer held and it fails.  This is all pretty confusing.

When can I actually use these moves?  In other words, what's the difference between "immobilized" and "incapacitated" and how do I put enemies into those states?

What I'd like to know is how much standing I lose when declining a mission, that would make it easier to gauge how often I can decline missions without hurting my standings long-term.

How much faction, corporation and agent standing do I lose for declining a mission? How much is that in comparison to the standings I gain, so what percentage of missions can I decline and have my standings stable over time?

texts: Accessing the two treasure chests that are under the villa?

texts:
In the area of the Villa there are two treasure chests indicated on the map, as so:

This screenshot was taken while I was on the stairs to the underground sanctuary, and the map items are lit up, which usually indicates they're at the same elevation as myself and so I presume they must be underground? Having looked, they don't seem to be in the building, or on the roof, so I'm pretty sure they must be under there somewhere.

I'm sure it's completely unnecessary to get them, but I tried looking for them and couldn't find them, and now I'm annoyed. So, how do I get to them?


texts: Skeleton Spawner - How far do you need to move skeletons to spawn more?

texts:
There is a max of how many skeletons will spawn within a certain range of a skeleton spawner.  What is the number of blocks that make up this range? Currently each new skeleton that falls into my kill zone dies due to exceeding the allowed number of skeletons within a certain area.

I'm not sure if the mechanics have changed however in older versions I used to be able to move the skeleton outside of the skeleton spawner 'area' which allowed more skeletons to spawn while still being in range of the spawner to spawn more skeletons.

Basically, I could place my guy between the spawner and my kill zone... move the skeletons far enough away from the spawner in order for even more skeletons.

Currently if I keep my guy sitting at the kill zone there's only about 25 or so skeletons to kill. I recall in older versions so many more skeletons and therefore the ability to increase your XP was much easier and faster.

texts: is the default ore any easier to find than it's alternate?

texts:
I know for a fact that worlds have set ores (If your world has platinum, then it WON'T have gold). I also know that platinum has a higher pickaxe level (both platinum and gold serve to mine meteorite, so they are of the same tier). If platinum ore is better, then is it any rarer than gold ore?

Does this apply to all "default" ores compared to their "alternate"?

(side note: platinum and gold ore can be received from the extractinator, where gold is more common.)

I would like you to list any proof you can find (pictures, wiki, developer statements.


texts: Will the 3 day Stream trade waiting period happen for every trade?

texts:
My question is if I don't use the Steam mobile authentication from the Steam app  will I have to wait 3 days each trade I make or will this happen only a set amount of times? (Would much prefer they had the 2FA done by SMS or something that doesn't relies on the app, because of the nuisance it creates each time I log into Steam)

This is because I have Steam trading cards I want to trade, and I want to know if this wait time will apply each time I trade with someone.

For the longest time, I thought the following icon meant that your destination was a planetary surface:

But recently I saw two missions with the same destination in Olwain, and one had the icon while the other didn't (Kira / 20 Tourists):

The destination is not a planetary landing site:

So what does this icon mean? I'm thinking now that it indicates something about the Horizons expansion, but why would only one of these missions need it, and just for a run to a space station? Does it indicate that maybe the passenger will demand a new landing site that might be planet-side?

texts: What is a good benchmark for the cultural win strategy?

texts:
I am currently learning to play Civilization 5 and decided to experiment with the cultural victory strategy. I am going to play game after game with the same strategy, making minor adjustments to see what works and what does not.

While it is nice to see which approaches work better than others, I could use some kind of benchmark from experienced players to compare my results to. I am looking for things like

You should be able to win the game before the year X
You should have at least a growth of X cultural points each turn in the year Y
You should have built at least X cultural landmarks during the game
You should get at least wonder X, Y and Z
You should ...

Those are just examples, maybe there are much more important KPIs in this strategy I am not even aware of. What values can I measure my attempts against?

UPDATE: To avoid confusion what I am exactly looking for, I add a clarification from the comment section below.

I am looking for KPIs like "A experienced player can win a cultural victory before 1850 AD". If I cannot do it before 2000 AD, I know that there is a large gap I need to close. Or a KPI like "A experienced player can gain 200 culture points each round around 350 AD" tells me, that I am messing things up in the early game, if I can only gain 100 around 350 AD. I am not looking for instructions about what to do but how I can measure if what I am doing works.

texts: Help With Custom Commands on villigers with a custom item 1.15.2

texts:
I was trying to get an emerald with a custom color added to it and have a villager sell the emerald. I was doing well getting both to spawn but when I tried to combine the two it didn't work. Can you tell me what I have done wrong?

/summon villager ~ ~1 ~ {VillagerData:{profession:farmer,level:2,type:plains},Offers:{Recipes:[{buy:{id:acacia_boat,Count:1},sell:{id:emerald,Count:1,tag:{display:{Name:"\"aqua\"",Lore:["\"TOKENNNN\""]}}},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:acacia_boat,Count:1},buyB:{id:acacia_boat,Count:1},sell:{id:emerald,Count:1,tag:{display:{Name:"\"Token\",\" color\":\"aqua\",\"italic\":true},{\"text\":\"ken\",\"color\":\"aqua\",\"italic\":true}]\",},HideFlags:1}\""}}},maxUses:9999999}]}}

And the expanded command:

/summon villager ~ ~1 ~

   Offers:{
      Recipes:[
         {

I want to run Master of Magic with dosbox and i think i am missing something obvious regarding the sound/music settings. I do have in game sound but without any music. Strangely i have chosen the same soundblaster with the same settings, although i can only fill in the hex for the music device. It is just very strange i can get the sound to work but not the music, am i missing something?

I have created a dosbox.conf with these sound settings:
sbtype=sbpro2 #Tried most of them by now
sbbase=220 #did not change
irq=7 #tried 3 and 5 too.
dma=1 #tried 3 too.
hdma=5 #tried 1 and 3 too.
sbmixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplemu=default
oplrate=44100

I changed blaster settings with the above settings so current are:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4

Within the Master of Magic install i have chosen for SB original, SB pro (early) and SB pro (later). They all do the same, giving me only sound no music. Adlib, roland and general midi do not work at all.


texts: PS4 controller / Dualshock 4 for Mac not working

texts:
I read here that the DS4 will work on Mac out-of-the-box by plugging the controller via a micro USB cable—they said it will automatically work as a regular joystick.

I got the DS4 yesterday (controller only, no console) and tested it on my Mac but it doesn't seem to work. The computer detects the controller but the games I have doesn't seem to recognize any inputs on the DS4. I tried the controller on Fez, Rayman Origins and Monaco—which all have joystick support—but no luck.

Also tried mapping the controller thru Joystick Mapper, it will say "1 Joystick Connected" but when I try to bind the controller, click "scan" while clicking a button on the controller, nothing.

I've read on the manual that comes with the controller titled "Registering (pairing) the controller" that there is a need to pair it on the PS4 console to complete registration. Is this a requirement for the controller to work?

It's either that is the reason why it's not working or the DS4 is just not compatible with my games (I think it should be tho, since it's supposed to work as a regular joystick when plugged thru USB cable).

texts: Legal ways of playing old games that aren't for sale any longer

texts:
There are a few old games that I want to play again (mostly Earthbound for the SNES), however I am finding it REALLY hard to get hold of a copy for a good price, as well as the requirement of purchasing a SNES to play it on...

I'd absolutely love to support the game, but the only realistic scenario I can find is having to use an emulator and rom (illegally), something I want to avoid.

I understand it will be different depending on the game and platform, I am just curious if there any moral and legal options of playing these little gems again?


texts:
In Mario Kart 8 (I'm playing Deluxe on the Switch but I guess it's the same either way), when you go over a jump, you can also press the jump button, and if you time it right, you get a speed boost.

You can also push the left stick in a direction at the same time to make the jump more stunty: your character might stand up in the seat, or roll.

Is this change when you use the stick purely to animation, or does it have any effect on the gameplay (such as increasing the amount of boost)? If it has an effect, does it make a difference which direction you push, and if so, what's the best way to do it?

In the last version of Dwarf Fortress I was informed that generally foreign weapons were not worth using, with the exception of whips and scourges, because the physics engine worked using speed and impact area, and turned them into lightsabers. Is this still the case in Dwarf Fortress 2012?

texts: Having CP taken away after powering up a Pokemon.

texts:
I have a Vaporeon that I powered up last week and after I powered it up, it says it received 39 CP. At first it gives the Vaporeon the 39 CP, then it immediately takes away 20. It doesn't show the CP being taken away, it just changes real fast after its powered and I'm out the CP, star dust and candies. It currently needs 4500 stardust, relative to the 6000 it would need if it was at the trainer cap, so I know it's not because I hit level 30 (this vape is lower than my 4 others which are at the level cap.)

This has happened to me 3 times and it has only happened to this one Vaporeon. I powered it up twice last week before I noticed this happening, so I didn't touch it until this morning when it happened again.

If it were at the level 30 trainer cap, it would only tell me its getting 20 and not 39, but this gives me 39 and then takes some away. it was around cp 2130 and now its 2191 after it's happened three times. :(

Any advice is appreciated :)

texts: No sound in Call of Duty over HDMI when used with an Asus monitor

texts:
I connected a PS3 to an Asus 24" Monitor (Asus PB248Q) via HDMI. The monitor does not have internal speakers but has a jack for headphones.

If I connect a headset to the headphones jack I can hear the audio in the main PS3 menu (for example, the clicks that sound when you are selecting a user).

However, if I load Call of Duty, there is no sound coming out of the headset. The volume is fully turned up (both in the monitor's OSD and in PS3). Sound stops in the switch to CoD.

I notice that when Call of Duty loads, "HDMI" appears a couple times on the monitor so I assume that Call of Duty is doing some kind of HDMI initialization that ends up turning off sound.

By comparison, if the HDMI connection is made to a Sony Bravia TV, then is sound is fine for Call of Duty so it seems an issue specific to this monitor that does not have built-in speakers. I wonder if Call of Duty does some kind of handshake at load-time with the monitor and then turns off sound if it does not detect built-in speakers

Is there any setting I can configure to solve this issue?


texts:
I hatched a Gastly egg, with average stats and a Mild nature. I trained it with Exp. Share to about level 50 and evolved it to Haunter. With the Haunter I went EV training in the Pokémon Tower, killing Gastly and Haunter for Special Attack, and then Diglett and Dugtrio in Diglett's Cave for Speed. My Haunter always wore a Macho Brace. After I was sure I killed enough Pokémon, I finished up by killing 4 Caterpie for HP. Then I evolved it to a Gengar by trading and leveled it to Lv. 100 by killing Machoke and stuff.

Now the Final Stats:

Gengar (female)
Nature = Mild
Hp. 247
Atk. 223
Def. 121
SpA. 387

texts: The paragraph symbol to change text color in Minecraft won't appear

texts:
So I've recently been working on a world and using the command blocks to add special effects and such, and I've had no issues with anything. Then I log off to eat dinner last night and then log back on and all of a sudden the paragraph symbols (§), which I was using to adjust the colors of my signs, are no longer working. I needed to copy-paste it to my keyboard, so I tried typing it out first with my controller, but the symbol just left a blank space where it should've been. Anything I typed after that also just resulted in blank spaces. When I tried in a command block it did the same, and when I closed and reopened it, it was like nothing had ever been typed into the prompt.
When I tried going to a pre-existing command block to copy the symbol the game just cleared that box the second I went into edit mode. Luckily I didn't try to copy it from an important command, or I might've really messed something up.
Anyway, if anybody knows how to fix this bug and could let me know it would be greatly appreciated. It's really hindering my creative process right now...

Has anyone managed to successfully reactivate their copy of Torchlight 2, purchased from Runic Games' site, after changing their hardware (in my case, the motherboard)? If so, what are the steps I could take?

PS: The license reset tool is not working for me and Runic Games is not responding on the support ticket, forum and twitter account.

I've been playing on Inferno for a while now, and I constantly feel like I'm running out of mana during fights. I understand that mana will never be unlimited and I'll have to use some conservation techniques, but it would be nice to boost my starting pool, which is currently at 877.

Are there stats that boost maximum mana for Witch Doctors? Are there other ways to increase maximum mana that are permanent?

I'm not looking for temporary solutions, like keeping 5 stacks of Soul Harvest at all times.

Edit:
I'm already sporting a ceremonial knife, mask, and mojo. I'd be looking for something beyond the inherent increase on WD specific items.

I also understand that the answer may be "There is nothing you can do beyond skills and WD equipment."


texts: How to change color of mouse-over tile identifier in UI?

texts:
When you mouse-over (or otherwise place the cursor over) tiles, the UI identifies them in an extremely dark blue-on-black that is impossible for me to read. For example, to identify trunk pillar or dark grass.

Is there any way to change this? Nearly any other color would be preferred.

I found a page on customizing the color scheme, but I don't think it changes elements outside of the map. ( https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Color_scheme )

Any  help would be much appreciated.

Okay, exiting colors.txt actually did work. I didn't realize it applied to the entire UI. This tool helped me out a lot:

texts: Forbidden Legend Quest: Gauldur is immobile

texts:
Having bit of a trouble completing "Forbidden Legend" quest. I'm at the forging of amulet part. After having fought the ghost of three brothers, Gauldur's ghost shows up. However, it doesn't do anything, just stands there.

If I understand correctly, Gauldur is supposed to forge the amulet for me. But he doesn't. I've done the sequence 3 times, however, everytime, the ghost just stands there.

Has anyone run into this? What was the fix?

I'm playing on a PC.

I'm doing some command blocks to make earth powers in Minecraft, the first step for me is this command

/scoreboard objective add Earthling

Simple, Now I have an old answer for an assassin kit I did once, but it doesn't work when I swap it over. This is the command I want to work after it finds out who has the Earthling tag

/execute @a[tag=Earthling] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ air 0 /setblock ~ ~ ~ grass

Also, you must be wearing boots to make this work, here is what the guy who answered my assassin kit problem to do. If you can convert this to 1.12 command block logic for me so it will sense I have leather boots on I would be very happy.


texts: Which levels contain achievement pickups?

texts: Some levels in Thomas Was Alone have achievement pickups - small black hollow rectangles which give you an achievement when picked up. Unfortunately the description on Steam of these achievements don't list the levels which they appear in, making it difficult to go back to find them. Which levels have these pickups?

Does anyone know what happens to the special cars you get in the garages (Turismo, etc) if they get destroyed while out in them?

What about if you just park it up and then do other stuff? Do you still lose your mods?

texts: Is it possible to remap Alt+F4 for Starcraft 2 running on Arch Linux?

texts:
I am playing Starcraft 2 on Arch Linux, using the Awesome window manager.
I'd like to remap Alt+F4 to the 4th camera position. As it currently works, Alt+F4 tries to close the game obviously.
Alt+F4 is not a shortcut linked to any function on Arch or Awesome, it is only Starcraft which is currently recognising it.


texts: Why can't I download DLC in the background anymore?

texts:
I've been having this unusual issue lately with my Xbox and certain bits of DLC.

Typically when I start to download something, I can press B or the Guide button to send the download to the background, and then I can check on the status of the download and the queued downloads by using the "Active Downloads" entry on the Guide.

However, when I download DLC from in-game menus, if I back out while it is downloading the download seems to abort.  The "Active Downloads" screen is blank, and if I go into the "Storage" view, it says the download is "Incomplete."  I've been able to complete the download if I leave the Xbox turned on and don't back out of the initial status screen you get when you initiate the download, but this is inconvenient and irritating.

It seems to happen exclusively with DLC that is downloaded in-game, for instance, Borderlands 2 DLC with the Season Pass, and the Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack.  Both of these aren't downloaded through the Live Marketplace, and must be chosen from in-game menus.  I don't remember this issue when I was playing LA Noire, though (and I had a Season Pass for that game).  I can also download or re-download items directly from the Marketplace and they end up in the "active downloads" menu with no issues.

What gives?  Is there a setting I need to change, or something I can reset to get this functionality back for in-game DLC?
