texts: How did people stay/change to level 1 but their units are not level 1?

texts:
I wish I was smart enough to have taken a screenshot but I didn't.  Will do so next time I see this.  In Clash Royale, there were some replays shown on TV Royale where the player was level 1 but:

They were fighting in Arena 5 or 6
Their units were not level 1 and
Those units were found in arenas higher than Arena 1

I'm just curious, how did this happen or why did the game let this happen?  This was the craziest thing I saw within the game and I saw it at least 3 times on replays.

texts: How do you train your Pokémon in Pokémon GO when all gyms you can visit are too high level?

texts:
I just recently started Pokémon Go, and I find myself in the situation that all gyms I can visit in the extended area are of such high level that I get one- or two-hit killed when doing friendly matches versus other members of my team. After every match I tried, I get 0 experience points, effectively having no way to level up my pokemon, simply wasting potions and revives. Even if I keep dodging (or trying to), I keep taking damage.

Is there a way to train my Pokémon in my situation?

The hour walk home will have set their exploration timer to 59 hours, so will they find the event the second time their timer is at 60 hours?


texts:
I just finished Priority: Rannoch.

texts:
I was wondering about the rules behind the "no damage" achievements. I've found these on the older Binding of Isaac Wikia's page.

  What counts as "taking damage?"

  Getting hit by an enemy, enemy projectile, bomb
  Purchasing an item from the Devil Room.
  Spike door in the Curse Room.

  What doesn't count as "taking damage?"

  Using the Blood Donation Machine or IV bag.
  Damage taken from the Devil Beggar.
  The "Bad Trip" or the "Health Down" pill effects.
  The Razor Blade and Blood Rights items.
  Using a "Health up!" pill.
  Taking damage while under the effect of Holy Mantle

I know that Holy Mantle is a new item, so this seems to be an updated list, but it's on the old wikia, so the question is: is this list reliable for Rebirth too?
I need to know if Devil Deals still count as damage taken.

Aside from the fact that Belial can't damage me that much because of my high armor(I have twice her armor since I have a skill for that), is there a way to avoid this? I tried telling her to go into a corner but she still gets hit and immediately just dies(I do know here items are great and she has a high Vit).

Is there a secret spot that she can stay in while she shoots Belial? What happened was me trying torevive her(Belial doesn't damage me that much) before we hit the final blow.

Or better, can I just kill Belial and she stil gets the exp(and items) after I revive her?


texts: Can I choose only a select amount of video to "share"?

texts:
The other day I was playing a game and something really cool happened. I'd never really done it before but I wanted to save the clip and knew that option existed so I hit the share button. I hit "Save Video", but the crappy thing is, it didn't give me an option for how much video to save. So, instead of just letting me save the past 60 seconds, I got a 45 minute gameplay video with what I really wanted right at the end. Not super helpful.

Is there a way when I'm saving a clip to specify how much time I want to save? Or, alternatively, is there a way to cut down an existing saved clip to only the good parts so that I can actually use the "share" feature and upload it to youtube or something?

It seems that there is a cooldown period before the heist reverts to normal mode from hard mode. How long will it take before it reverts to normal mode? Also, does the cooldown timer run even if you're logged out of GTA Online? E.g., if I quit GTA Online just after finishing the heist, the next time I log back in, will I have to wait for the cooldown period to finish before it reverts to normal mode?

texts: In newer Civ games, how do you truly make up for the overhead of expansion?

texts:
I know about things like building happiness improvements, choosing civ upgrades (traits or technologies or whatever), razing cities, puppeting cities, etc.  The problem is that, as someone who has liked the franchise for a really long time, it just seems like newer games, such as Civs IV, V, and BE, have all gone so far overboard in nerfing war as a means of victory that, no matter what, it is almost never worth it to take even one enemy city, given the overhead.  It's not that I don't understand Civ games or don't understand the concept of fostering happiness through different mean; it's just that no amount of producing happiness, health, or whatever seems to make it truly profitable to capture regular enemy cities.

But a lot of people still seem to like to use war in their play styles.  So maybe there's a common formula so that your efforts to offset the overhead to expansion will be much more streamlined and effective, and not simply piecemeal.  Maybe there is a way to make the numbers add up.  So my question here would not be for the specific examples of what you can do, but how can you combine and orchestrate your offsetting efforts in such a way that they are truly effective for, let's say, capturing every city on the planet by game end, for instance?

texts: Is there a reason why Portal Title edit submissions stopped returning confirmation notices?

texts:
Since January 30th I have not received any confirmation emails for my title edit submissions. Usually within a few seconds of submitting an edit, Niantic sends out a confirmation notice. Note this is not the accept or reject which comes weeks or months later, this is just the submission received email.

I've checked my Ingress sync settings and they seem fine. The app is synchronizing other data constantly so that can't seem to be the issue. I've tried turning the sync setting off and on again, restarting the phone, etc. Nothing helps.

It seems other team-mates are still receiving submission confirmations. I suspect Niantic has done something specific to my account such as "mute" my submissions. In the past several weeks I submitted a lot of edit requests and I suspect the monkeys err...editors at Niantic had enough of me.

Is there any way to confirm this suspicion? Alternatively is there some other problem that could lead to this? And most importantly is there a way to fix it?

texts: Is Fury Cutter & X-Scissor the optimal moveset for Pinsir?

texts:
http://www.pokemongodb.net/ selects "optimal" moves by DPS. But, it seems to me that a lower move DPS can yield higher overall DPS. For example, a lower DPS fast move might be better if it generates more energy per second. A lower DPS charge move might be better if it takes more time (allocating more overall time to the charge move) or takes less energy.

Pinsir seems like a good example to me: pokemongodb selects Rock Smash, but Fury Cutter is 3.5x faster and generates more energy, so you can spend more time executing charge moves. If I assume all energy translates to charge moves (i.e. time spent on fast moves per charge move is charge energy divided by fast energy), I get 16.9 overall DPS with Fury Cutter, but only 13 overall DPS with Rock Smash (assuming X-Scissor charge move).

Is the above roughly the right way to determine optimal moveset? For Pinsir, is Fury Cutter really better?

texts:
I've been using a philips home theater for surround sound in my setup for quite some time now. I connect all my devices to my Sony TV with HDMI, and then use the HDMI ARC port to connect back to the home theater. Everything plays very well over the system, even devices connected with SCART will play through the home theater system (stereo).

Yesterday I started up my PS3 again, which I haven't used in this setup yet. The XMB screen won't transmit any sound at all to the home theater system, and starting up a game will transmit very quiet, distant stereo sound to just the 2 front speakers. No subwoofer or center speaker action, let alone 5.1!

Turning off the system and letting it go through TV works just fine, all sounds play just fine. I've tried fiddling with the PS3 Audio Ouput settings, but I'm not sure what to pick there. Nothing seems to work, though. My PS4 is set to Bitstream (DTS), so I tried selecting a similar setting for the PS3 - to no avail.

Any tips?

texts:
I've looked up a lot of tutorials on YouTube and all of them only work for versions of Minecraft prior to 1.7.9.

I first got a Minecraft Coder Pack (MCP) off of this website, but then realized that only decompiles Minecraft 1.6.4. Then I found a more recent MCP (that's not on the website for some reason) and it is version 9.03, downloaded here. This decompiles Minecraft version 1.7.2 (when I followed this video's instructions, I run the decompile.bat file and it says Json file not found in C:\Users\mike\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.7.2\1.7.2.json).

Basically I can't decompile Minecraft 1.7.9, but I can decompile older versions. However, I don't have any older versions downloaded onto my computer. I have only 1.7.9.

Then I tried using Forge, but realized that most videos were using versions of Minecraft prior to 1.6.4, meaning they use the bin folder that does not exist anymore. Even after trying to figure that out as well, the decompiling would never work. I tried to do what this video did, but couldn't replicate it. Then I finally looked at this video about using Forge and I could replicate it, but this didn't decompile Minecraft. It just set up a workspace in Eclipse that I'm not sure how to use.

TL;DR

I can decompile Minecraft 1.6.4 and 1.7.2 but I can't decompile version 1.7.9. Should I download an older version of Minecraft, wait for an MCP for 1.7.9, or something else? Is there something I'm missing, where I actually can decompile and mod Minecraft 1.7.9?


texts: Can a single default attack trigger multiple triggered attacks?

texts:
Some attack skills, rather than being manually activated, have a chance to trigger every time you make a standard attack (sometimes with restrictions such as only triggering if you're using a 2-handed weapon or a melee weapon).

If I invest in two different such skills, say the soldier's Markovian's Advantage skill and the shaman's Feral Hunger skill, so that each has a high chance of triggering, can a single default attack trigger both skills?

texts: Is the Muffled armor modification redundant with Sneak level 4?

texts:
You can add Muffled as a mod to leg armor. It says that it "Reduces detection from moving".

The 4th level of the Agility-based Sneak perk says that "running no longer adversely affects stealth".

Since "running" is the most extreme form of movement, if it doesn't affect stealth, then that implies that no movement at all will affect stealth. Does this mean that Muffled no longer has an effect once you get the 4th level of Sneak?

If so, I can replace all my Muffled mods now that I have this perk.


texts: How do I force players off a rail when dismounting a minecart?

texts:
I am creating a transport rail system (mini metro) for players in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. The minecart are perpetually in a one-way motion due to powered rails along the track. Each station has a dismounting area where players can dismount from their minecart before continuing on to the mounting area where players can board empty minecarts. Both areas use rapidly flashing powered rails to slow the minecarts down so players have a few seconds to board/dismount.
When dismounting from a moving minecart, or when ejected from an active activator rail, the player is deposited directly above the rail on which the minecart is on. If the player does not move off the tracks manually before the next minecart comes, the minecart will bump into them and stop, causing delays on the metro line. The minecart that they dismounted from will not be affected, so it is not a problem.

The picture above depicts my first attempt at solving this problem. The pistons with glass are on a hopper clock circuit, and the powered rails are rapidly pulsing at the rate of a comparator subtraction clock, as explained above. The water and hole are where the players fall when pushed by the pistons, falling into a safe landing and funneled to the station exit.
However, I frown upon this solution because it is very noisy with the pistons constantly firing. To attempt to fix this, I changed the setup so that there was only one piston pushing five slime blocks which are connected to the glass. However, this solution is still noisy because piston sound volume does not stack in Bedrock Edition.
What is the best way to automatically maneuver players off the track quickly without causing too much noise?


texts: It takes a long time for my mechs to be repaired between battles. How do I get more mech tech points to speed up repairs?


texts: Which legendary items are more useful than a well-itemized Rare at max level/in Inferno?

texts:
Legendary items in Diablo 3 max out at level 62. This means that, strictly speaking, a Legendary item in any given slot, will not be the best item available in that slot.

As with all things however, there are exceptions. You see, the thing is, there are a few legendaries, like The Flavor of Time, which offer unique properties. These are either affixes that are not normally available in that item slot, but which are highly desirable, such as +Run Speed, or powerful set bonuses that can offset the reduction in itemization.

Which items are these that I should be keeping an eye out for?

For an example of the sort of information I'm looking for, see this answer about Skyrim.

texts: How can I maximize the reproduction rate of animals?

texts:
So I've managed to acquire my first animals, and I'm trying to figure out how to maximize their rate of reproduction.  My first thought was to split my animals into two different pastures, but I'm not sure if this will actually help or hurt the rate of reproduction. The help menu states that animals in a pasture not being worked will reproduce slower, and I'm assuming this applies to pastures with only one herdsmen as well. I'm also not sure if the number of animals in the pastures makes a difference (that is, will 4 sheep reproduce faster than 2 sheep?).

What affects the reproduction rate of animals, and how can I use this to maximize their reproduction rate?

texts: Why does the Vagabond say other players told him about me? Can I send him to other players?

texts:
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, there's a character called the Vagabond. Sometimes when he shows, he says a human player (whom I've defeated, and this always happens whenever I defeat a player) told him all about me. His exact quote:

  Hello [my name], [other player] told me all about you, how about a duel?

Is part of the game? Can I send him after other players? Is it a glitch maybe?


texts:
I've crafted my first Rare item. It came in the form of a ridiculous looking helmet.

I am aware there is an item called Vanishing Dye that will make whatever item dyed turn invisible. This would be useful in hiding my silly little hat, but I honestly don't feel the 300+ gold is worth spending just to hide my hat (or other clothing if I wanted to look like the world's strongest naked person).

Is there anyway to show/hide helmets without buying dye/dye remover?

I cant find the setting for this in DOTA 2.

texts: What physics model do spinfusor disks use?

texts:
In Tribes: Ascend, I often notice my spinfusor disks seem to go slightly off course over large distances when I'm flying, even though I could have sworn the reticule was over the (immobile) target. I know that disks are not affected by gravity, so there appear to be three other possibilities here:

I can't aim.
The game adds a slight random shift to the aim at high player velocity.
The disk velocity is the sum of instantaneous player velocity and muzzle velocity (that is, physically correct).

Which is it?

texts: How do I choose which enchantment to accept in Minecraft?

texts:
My character has level 50 experience.  I go to an enchanting table, with all bookcases correctly placed.  I enchant my diamond pick.

The table offers me a choice of 3 enchantments.

There's three lines of unreadable script, followed by the exp cost of the enchantment.

Sometimes the higher exp cost will not be the last choice.  EG

  kuqeugqwdih - 18
  zkxnklalas  - 41
  opplkmglkmf - 37

Normally I would chose the higher number.  But should I chose the last in the list?

(This is MC 1.2.5 on a multiplayer server, if it makes any difference.)

The Guessing Game achievement is for completing the following;

  Guessing Game
  On day 2 of the Firestarter job, complete the heist in stealth without hacking the computer

Since the PC version of Payday 2 gets all the fancy updates which changes the way that a large number of skills work, many of the guides explaining how to complete the Guessing Game achievement no longer correctly represent the state of the game and show one person walking around the FBI building dominating all of the guards, or following the guards around at close range without alerting them.

The sort of information that I need to know is as follows;

What sort of skillset is going to be required to complete this achievement? (I'm assuming at least the Smooth Talker ability and maybe a couple of people with the Dominator ability?)

texts: How do I pick-and-match licenses via Family Sharing if multiple friends own the same game?

texts:
I have two friends who own the same game, but one of them isn't very active.
And by 'inactive', I was meant to say it was an alternate account.

Both of them own Terraria, but I always seem to be locked out whenever my first friend starts playing << Insert title of some other game >>, which is normal behavior.
Is there any way that I can make it that the Terraria access I've recieved is through my second friend, who's never on (because that would mean I'd have to log out of my own account and switch accounts), so regardless of whether my first friend is playing a game or not, I still have access.

Note: I can log into all three (main plus 2 "friends") accounts in question, but I don't want to be constantly switching between the two (three).

Also, I still want access to both accounts (since not all the games owned by both accounts overlap).

texts: Do early workers really have an exponential effect?

texts:
Commentators such as HD sometimes mention that a worker advantage in the early game is of extreme importance since it has an "exponential effect" (here's an example video which mentions that at the start).

While I agree workers have a large impact in the early game, it seems to me that

Worker production rate is usually capped by building/larva limits rather than mineral balance, so losing an early worker or two doesn't necessarily mean the next workers will be produced slower.
I always thought that in the late game it doesn't really matter if one player have a couple of workers more, when the workers already count in the dozens.

So it seems to me the impact of having an early worker disadvantage doesn't have an increasing effect - just losing a more-or-less fixed amount of money for the lost mining time. If anything, it has the most effect on the early game, where every single unit matters.

Could somehow explain what is the true impact of early worker disadvantage, and why do people say it's exponential?


texts: Is there any way to create a variable in minecraft?

texts:
I know that there is no direct way to create a variable in Minecraft but is there any way to manipulate scoreboard objectives into creating one?

Basically, I need to create a variable that will store a players X Y Z when they reach less than 10 health.
The name of the "Health" objective is  "down".

I'm not sure how to make this question less like a demand. I'm not sure where to start on this but the main thing that I am "Capable" of is looking online for other questions. The only thing that has come up are people asking for this to be added, but someone in a forum mentioned scoreboard objectives being able to do the trick.

EDIT

So I don't beleive I was clear enough: I need this to store the players location data live. As in a repeating command block test's for a player with less than ten health and then stores the players current location which I can then use later to teleport the player to the saved coordinates. E.g

/testfor @a[score_down=10] {Coordinated:[{X(var X) = 1,Y(var Y) = 2,Z(var Z) = 3}]}

Basicall y ^ that works like Coordinated < Position Tag, X < X position tag, var < declared that the output will be the variable.

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE ^

But I hope you catch my drift by the way I explain it.

texts: Backup HDD directly to new one (PS4 HDD upgrade)

texts:
I have a PS4 with 500gb HDD and I've purchased a new 1TB HDD to upgrade the capacity.

According to the official Sony guide, If I want to backup everything (users, saves and installed games) I'd have to find an external storage big enough (~400GB as the disk is almost full) to witch I backup and the restore from when the new HDD is installed.

So the path would be OLD HDD->External Drive->New HDD.

My question - is there a way to skip the external drive and copy the data directly to the new hdd. For example plugging the to HDDs to a PC/MAC and running some sort of copy command.

Update: I am above the force-limit (76/72), but the only penalty mentioned in the hover is a monetary cost of 1.43/month. Is this related?

texts: Does the Observatory's chance to auto-observe increase as you build more of them?

texts:
I'm hoping what I'm seeing is just confirmation bias and not how the game actually works, so I'm asking and hoping more analytical minds can assuage my fears.  It seems like, with eleven Observatories, quite fewer than 11% of my rare astronomical events are automatically being observed.  It was my assumption that each Observatory would add 1% to my chance to auto-observe, and so at 100 Observatories I would automatically generate a starchart (and some science) from every event (and have lots of them!).  Isn't this right?

Does building more Observatories increase your chance to auto-observe, or is the base chance the limit?

I hear a lot of people talking about Elo, saying things like I need to "build my Elo" or my Elo is horrible.

What exactly is it and how does it affect me in a game, if at all? I watched a YouTube video last night and it was called 500 Elo streak but it really didn't make any sense at all. His kill-to-death ratio was not good at all, but he had assists and he said it went up… why?

Does it matter whether you win or lose or does it go off your score? Say I'm 6/2/15, but we lost. Will I gain Elo or lose it? Or if I was 2/10/3 but won the game would I gain or lose Elo?

I know that artifacts have a strong chance to resist changing, but if I do manage to get rid of them, will it increase my chances of wishing or does "generated" mean "generated" regardless of its current existential state?

texts: How to copy item NBT into an item entity?

texts:
Version 1.14.4:
I am trying to make a commands system that forces a player to drop whatever item is in their main hand. Because I can't use commands to make a player press Q and drop the original item, I need to copy the NBT into a new item on the ground and remove the old one from the player. I obviously want any NBT, including enchantments, names, lore, etc. to be copied over exactly.

I know that I can use /data to get the NBT from the SelectedItem of a player, and execute store can put NBT into an entity. However, /data get only returns numeric data, and execute store only allows me to set one NBT path at a time, so my plan of summoning a generic item on the ground and then just copying the NBT over (including the item ID) does not work.

Am I going about this wrong and there is a way to do this, or is this just impossible? My eventual plan is to implement this into a datapack, so if a method requires moving items into tile entities or something similar involving setting aside a space to spawn blocks in I'd rather avoid that. Of course, if you know a method like that by all means put it as an answer because someone else with the same question may find it useful for their situation.

I'd like to be able to figure out how much damage a fully upgraded weapon is before spending a ton of mana on it so I can compare it to my current weapon more easily.

Also, having the elemental damage formula would be nice too, since it seems to raise at a faster rate than physical damage.


texts: Can I have 2 accounts from different regions and access the online store on PS5 all digital?

texts:
At the moment, I live ing India. When I get my PS5, I will link it with a PSN account that has its region set as India with an Indian credit card connected. In two years, I will move to France. Once I'm in France, as I cannot change the region of a PSN account after the fact, I create another PSN account with it's region set as France with a French credit card. I found that you can in fact have 2 psn accounts linked to the same console. However, my worry is that the games and the saved data of all the games that I played on my Indian PSN account with in India, will not be able to be played on my French PSN account.
So, after I move to France, will this mean that my only choice is to keep the Indian PSN account so as to not lose 2 years of saved game data and games bought, and use my French PSN account from then on in order to access the French Online store and buy games. This would mean I'd switch between my Indian and French PSN accounts on my ps to play whatever games I've bought in each respective account.
Ideally, I'd want to be able to have one PSN account and change its region later on, add my French credit card, delete my Indian credit card, change the address and continue playing the games I had bought when I was in India and buy new games now on the French online store. However, I saw that it is not possible to change the region of a PSN account after the account creation stage.
Knowing my situation and my goal, what is the best way for me to move forward. Just get a regular PS5 or is there something I can do about this situation on a PS5 All-Digital? If I'm unable to get a regular PS5 and the all-digital is my only option, what then?

texts: How can I identify games that use Pando Media Booster, and is there a workaround to download the installer without it?

texts:
I was looking to install Elsword (an F2P game) to try later; and discovered that it uses what is basically a customized bittorrent client, Pando Media Booster, to help with the installation download. After some searching, I've also found that

PMB is used in several other F2P games such as LoL, LotRO etc.
It does not show up in notification bar and silently continues to leech upload bandwidth, with many posts suggesting to uninstall it asap after game download is completed
It is safe to delete once the actual full installer has been downloaded. I read about some games reinstalling PMB to download updates, but presumably that would prompt you for permission again

I have decided to take a chance and install Elsword and LoL followed by uninstalling PMB asap. However, considering it seems to be borderline shady, I have a few questions:

Is there some way to download these games without using PMB? (could not find one in a quick search)
Are there any specifics to be aware of when uninstalling; in case it is really persistent about trying to hide
Where can I find a complete list of games using it; so that I can install any I'm interested in at one time before removing PMB (or ignore them).

I've been following guides but still cant figure it out. (MC version 1.8.9). So I'm trying to link a .json file to the iron_sword.png file.
Heres the code:
{
    "parent": "item/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "item/iron_sword"
    },
    {
    "display": {
        "thirdperson_righthand": {
            "rotation": [ 180, 90, 150 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 0.85, 0.85, 0.85 ]
        },
        "firstperson_righthand"
        : {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
        }
    }
}
}

For some reason, it keeps showing up as a black and purple block.
I got it to rotate, but it still showed as a black and purple block.


texts: Cannot place calling card in Silver Shroud quest

texts: So during one of the main parts of the quest you have to kill Kendra...Problem being after I killed her and placed the card on her body the story did not move on. It reports that I have not placed the card on Kendra's body, even though I did, and now I cannot place another card on her body. When I try to do it manually it tells me that I cannot remove quest items from my inventory. Is there any way to fix this? I will take a console command if I have to.

texts: What does the name of the RF Missile mean?

texts:
In DOS Jazz Jackrabbit, one of the five weapons available for the player character is RF Missile.  What does the RF part in the name of this weapon mean?

The weapon shoots two green rockets, one going slightly upwards and one downwards, from Jazz's rocket launcher.  This explains the “Missile” part, for rockets used to deliver explosives are often called missiles.

But the “RF” part is confusing.  Outside the context of this game, I'd take “RF” to mean “radio frequency”, which is applied to rockets that have steering fins adjustable during flight, and that are controlled (guided) from a ground station with a radio frequency communication link.  But this doesn't seem to apply to the weapon in the game.  The player has no control over the missiles once launched, and the missiles fly in a straight line no matter what, they're not homing to targets.


texts: Is there any extra benefit from making payments before Nova requests one?

texts:
The game will interrupt you to make debt payments at various intervals. But it will not bug you until you are holding the original interval in your wallet.

For example, if the full payment is 10,000 gald and you pay 1,000, the new amount due is 9,000. In this case, the game would not ask for payment until a full 10,000 debt was reached again.

If I make a full payment before I actually reach the next interval is there any tangible benefit or reward (i.e. If the interval is 10,000 but I pay a full 10,000 before ever having over 10,000 gald in my wallet at one time)?


texts: How to share worlds between platforms with Minecraft Better Together

texts:
I have read that with the new "Better Together Update" (BTU) it is now possible to create a world on one platform and then continue playing it on a different platform.  However, I am having trouble finding details of how this is supposed to work to determine if it would do what I am hoping it would and therefore whether it is worth my time/money.

I have some saved worlds on Minecraft for XBox One, all done in creative mode.  I am able to import them into what is now just called "Minecraft" which as of the BTU is what is being used to mean the cross-platform version.   Can I now play this same world on my Windows 10 PC?   If I go to the Minecraft web site it offers to sell me the "Java Edition" with the addendum "includes edition for Windows 10".   But from what I have read, anything that has the word "edition" in it isn't the cross platform version.   It's very unclear to me what I would actually be buying here.

If it is possible to open the same world on different platforms, exactly how would I go about doing this?  On the XBox I have to sign in with an outlook.com e-mail address to access my worlds, or my kids' sign-ins to access their worlds, is it the same from the PC? And where would my world be saved?   I have read that XBox saves will be in the cloud, but PC saves will be local, so how can I get a cloud save onto my PC?  And then how can I get it back to the cloud when I am done so I can play it on the console again?  Will there be two copies floating around, making it possible for me to make a backup on my PC?

How will this interact with world editors?  At some point will I be able to start a game on XBox, transfer it to the PC, open it in a world editor, make some changes, and then transfer it back to the XBox?

texts: Cannot connect to local or remote servers, connection reset by peer

texts:
I made a bukkit server on my computer running OS X. No problems there. I opened up my client (on the same computer), open multiplayer, the direct connect and typed in "127.0.0.1:25565". It appeared to accept that. It showed "logging in" (I am using a premium account). Then it would fail and give me the error "End of Stream". The server console showed that my disconnect was a "genericDisconnect". Any idea why this isn't working?

Note: My internet is ridicoulsly slow. I don't live in the U.S. or an European country. Upgrading internet isn't an option. I however didn't think that the internet would matter if it was on the same computer as the client.

EDIT: I made a vanilla server, setting up server worked fine. When I tried to connect using 127.0.0.1:25565 I got this error:

2013-11-11 13:54:29 [CLIENT] [INFO] Connecting to 127.0.0.1, 25565

2013-11-11 13:54:33 [CLIENT] [SEVERE] Reached end of stream for /127.0.0.1

The error shown on the client was Internal Exception: java.io.IOException Connection reset by peer
I got the same error when connecting to a powerful public server in europe. I still get the end of stream error when using the bukkit server (which is 1.6.4, the vanilla server is 1.7.2).

When trying to connect using my external ip address and the port, I got a Connection Refused error. I think that's the wrong ip address.

I loved this screen because it forced me to play different weapons and style regularly, but I can't see it for BF4.

Is it hidden somewhere or do I have to find a way to do it myself?

West of the savepoint there is the rest of the game, but the way back is behind a gap too large for me to bridge.

texts: How Do You Make Scoreboard Triggers Teleport People?

texts:
With the help of IronAnvil, I got some scoreboard triggers working for my server. All I need to figure out now is how to make it so the scoreboard triggers teleport you. Inside a repeating command block I have:
tp @a[score_cmdTrigger_min=2,score_cmdTrigger=2] ~ ~ ~

and then in a chain command block that is chained to it, I have:
scoreboard players set @a[score_cmdTrigger_min=2,score_cmdTrigger=2] cmdTrigger 0

I figured out that you have to put some value in the squiggly line things at the end of the repeating one and I figured out that each one is x y and z. I just need to get the sign to tp me to the coordinates: -614 84 -923. How do you do this? BTW, I've tried putting those coordinates in the squiggly lines and putting in numbers that are where I am subtracted by where I need to go. Neither of these worked. They just teleported me to a random place.

texts: Global color of trooper or starfighter class

texts:
When you select a trooper or starfighter class, it has a global level, which is the sum of the Star Cards for this class (a common card gives 1 point, an uncommon 2 points, a rare 3 points and an epic 4 points).

However, I don't get the global color. For exemple, in my Heavy class, I do have 6 cards (2 common, 3 uncommon, 1 rare). The three uncommon (green) are equipped. My Heavy trooper is level 11 (2 + 6 + 3) with grey color.

I have, for the Interceptor class, 3 cards (1 common, 2 uncommon). My level is 5 with green color.

I then thought you have to have the majority of your cards of a given color to have the global level of this color.

But I have for the Bomber class, 4 cards (2 common, 2 uncommon). Global level is a green 6, where I would have thought it would be grey.

So if anyone know how this color is selected and if it is of any use in-game...

texts: I set a password on my PS Vita, and my brother somehow restored my data (meaning he deleted it). Can I get it back?

texts:
So, basically, I set a password on my PS Vita and my brother decides to mess around with it. I don't know how, but he somehow restored the Vita, which means all data and settings are deleted and set to original settings.
It's a factory reset, basically.
I did a little investigating, and here's what I came up with.
I don't think that it reset the Memory Card. I have one, but it doesn't say that it would, but even if it did, whenever I put the Memory Card in after taking it out, it says that a Playstation account is linked to it, and it asks me if I want to link it.
Yes, it's my account. But the weird thing is, it detects the Memory Card externally, but not internally, with the settings. So it detects when I take it out, meaning it shows notifications, but when I click the following in settings...
"Playstation®Mobile"
It says...
"No memory card is inserted."
So I'm confused.
I've tried to get to Safe Mode a couple times, it doesn't bring me there.
My question, obviously, is how to get my data back. I am fairly sure I still have the data on my memory card, and the external system detects it, but Content Manager, Settings, etc. don't. So how?!

texts: Fire Emblem Elibean Nights : How to survive and if possible, win in Raven's second mission?

texts:
FYI : Elibean Nights is a fan-made sequel to the Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Blade.
Here we get to play individual campaigns of a selected set of characters that were in FE7 (Eliwood, Hector, Lyndis, Raven, Merlinus... etc.)
I am struggling to find a way to win one of its missions. It's the second mission in Raven's Story : Undying Vengeance. Raven, Lucius, Pricilla, Geitz and Shen alongside one of the possible love interests of Pricilla (Heath, Erk, Sain) gets surrounded by a huge army of Etruria, led by General Arcard.
Initially, we get the objective of surviving for 14 turns. I've managed to do that, despite the heavy enemy attacks. Once I survive 14 turns, there's a cut-scene and it gives me the option to Surrender or keep playing. If I select Surrender,

 Raven dies at the hands of Arcard, although the other characters survive and it ends. This is a loss, rather than a win, in my opinion.

If I select No to Surrender, I get to keep playing. So far I have come to maximum of 19th turn but since I have limited resources and new waves of enemies keep showing up, my characters start to perish one by one. When all of them die,

 the same fate is met by Raven and the other characters. This isn't a win, either.

So, how can I win this mission? Is there a different way than trying to survive? Or is there a certain level that a player have to survive in order to finally achieve victory?


texts:
Basically, I'm looking to understand how shields and blocking works within the mechanics of combat. I'll try and keep the question as brief as possible, but I'm looking for working so I can plan my characters as best as possible.

For my current character I'm trying to run the game using only a set of steel armour that I'll improve over time. At the moment the armour value without the shield is 135. The shield has an armour value of 30, giving a normal total of 165.

So, if I take a hit, it's obvious that without the shield I apply the armour value of 135. If I equip the shield and take a hit (without blocking) do I take that at 135 or 165? If I block the hit is there a separate modifier for the block skill, or is it now that the 165 occurs? (Block is 28 with 1st Shield Wall perk).

In the future I'll (hopefully) get to a point where I reach the armour cap. As I occasionally use a bow I'll try and make the normal four pieces hit the max (567) so I still get the full 80% reduction. If I take a hit now with or without the shield I've reached the limit of the damage reduction, but does blocking now give an extra reduction?

With regards to weapons, as there is no limit I'll eventually end up with a dragonbone sword or similar. Is the damage reduced by blocking dependent on the armour value of the shield? Is this capped?

I know this seems like a lot of questions, but ultimately it leads me to ask, whilst I think I can max out the steel armour without a shield, will I want to create a shield of a different type (daedric?) to max out my protection, or else will the steel shield (legendary obviously) provide this?

texts: Far Cry 3 - How Increase Enemies And Enviromental Hostility In FC3

texts:
I have already read the following post.

Once the player has beaten Far Cry 3, they have the option of resetting all of the enemy outposts. The new outposts either seem easier to take down, or my single player abilities have increased even on Master difficulty. In either case, Far Cry 2 seemed more fun later on in the game when there were random skirmishes available at any guardpost (although this was annoying to many and something they meant to correct in FC3).

I am wondering the follwing:

Is it possible to increase/assign how many and what type of enemies are at an outpost?
Increase the number and type of roving patrols through hostile areas?
Keep areas hostile even after an outpost has been taken down (to keep roving patrols).
Otherwise increase the difficulty and interactivity of single player gameplay after besting the main storyline of the game.
If possible, I would prefer not using mods (very unlikely, as I would have found these options somewhere) so can I make any of these mods myself by editing a config file? If not, please mention any other mods that may do what I am looking for.

texts:
I opened up Steam and went to Terraria, but instead of saying "play," like it usually does, it said "install." So I installed the game, even though I had never uninstalled it in the first place. After the install, everything was exactly the same except one of my characters was replaced with a blank character slot with 0:00 play time.

All my worlds were still there, as well as the one other player I had.
I also found a world called Unknown World and loading it causes the game to crash. It's actually the size that's unknown it has no name.

texts: What Does the Movie Icon in the Bitizens Album Mean?

texts:
Each special bitizen in the album has a picture and a description after they've been unlocked.  Some bitizens have a movie icon in the top right hand corner of their profile.

I have not been able to figure out what the movie icon symbolizes.

At first, I thought it meant that bitizen has unlocked a scene, but even bitizens that have not been unlocked have the icon.

Then, I thought it meant that the bitizen has the ability to unlock a scene, but then I came across a bitizen that unlocks a scene but does not have the icon.

And of course, there are bitizens that don't unlock anything (that I've found) that have a movie icon.

It doesn't seem to be completely random, as characters that unlock scenes are more likely to have the icon than those that don't.  And, characters that don't have the icon are not very likely to unlock a scene.

texts: Replay analysis: Why opponent got bigger army and why psy storm is so weak?

texts:
Recently I played PvZ and lost (http://ggtracker.com/matches/5047035). Trying to analyze reasons, I've figured out that at the beginning of the 1st big engagement (around 16-30) opponent had army which had 40 more supply than main.

I analyzed replay and cannot understand how did that happen.

I do see mistakes from my side:

non-used resources (but opponent had poor resources usage as well)
non warping units during the battle (neither opponent did)
etc...

But still, if opponent has such a big advantage in quantity, it is hard to beat him.

Question: what did I do wrong so I had so smaller army?

Side question: looks like psi-storm is not really effective vs hydra/roaches... should I better start with Colossus?

Thank you for any advise!


texts: How does the gym's badge level system works?

texts:
Spinning the photo disc of a gym now awards you the gyms corresponding badge. It is then possible to increase your badge level by executing some specific actions, such as feeding the Pokemon of your team with berries, defending your gym or attacking an opponent gym.

Things were going swimmingly but around level 90 of the mine I'm noticing that difficulty seems to be scaling up very quickly. I only have weapons (I'm currently wielding the Obsidian Edge) and boots (I'm currently sporting the Thermal Boots) I've found from chests. My damage output (using Obsidian Edge) seems to be sufficient to kill enemies in 3-5 hits. I have not invested in upgrading my tools aside from the watering can.

The problem comes in with several enemies being able to hit me for 20+ damage in addition to some nasty status effects. I can avoid enemies one on one, but when I'm fighting several things go to hell very quickly. Bringing more healing items would help, but that seems like a band-aid compared to the larger issue of me getting destroyed. I've died a few times, each of which cost me significant progress.

What can I do to continue my mine adventures while maintaining my living status?


texts: Fallout 3 - GOTY get CD key from steam for windows live / change lanugage

texts:
I have Fallout3-GOTY (steam-app #22370) and wish to change the game's language from german to english.
My steam-account is configured in english and steam correctly downloads the game in english.
When I launch F3, the "Pre-loader" (Settings, Data-files, etc.) is in english, but the game itself is in german. (I already wiped it, restarted steam and redownloaded)
From what I gathered through googling is, that I need to change the language in GFWL.
Therefore I open the GFWL-overlay and browse through it all, but cannot find anything.
Some options are blocked though by the fact, that I am not "connected to LIVE" and to do that I need a key, to connect the game to my LIVE-account.

Now here's the problem:
Steam does not provide me with a key, but LIVE won't go on without it.
Is there a way to otherwise change the in-game language or do I need that key?
If so: How can I get it?

EDIT:
How do I change the language of the German version of Fallout 3 to English?
same question, also no solution.
From what I am getting all over the web, it seems that this is intentionally impossible.
Yay, great.


texts: Do you have to play The Witness twice to solve the last puzzle?

texts:
This whole question is a spoiler, so I ask it all hidden:

   When you start the game, the tower at the exit gate of the first castle is glowing white, so you can solve that puzzle. But once you solve the puzzle to open the gate, it stops glowing and you cannot solve that puzzle any more and cannot finish the monolith in the village.C

 Do I have to solve this puzzle right at the start to be able to solve the monolith in the village?

Or is there a way to reactivate the glowing gate-pole?


texts: Can I stop my allies from attacking me if I ally with the Grox?

texts: If I get an ally's friendship score up to about 250 before allying with the Grox, will they still instantly hate me and attack me or will they remain allies?

texts: Who was that strange character in Mortal Kombat: Deception Konquest mode?

texts:
It's been a long time since I was playing this game.
I remember a little boy character that Shujinko first met in the very first stages of the game in Earthrealm. He appeared in other scenes too (mostly in Earthrealm) disguising as other MK characters (such as Scorpion, Ermac, etc.)
Every time Shujinko found the character everywhere, he (the strange characters disguised as someone else) said: "Oh no, someone has caught me." and then he disappeared.
Was he someone special or just a funny thing inside the game?
