texts: Ventrilo's Push to Talk not working when playing Star Wars: The Old Republic

texts:
Several friends and I are playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. We use my Ventrilo server to chat, and have done so for years in other games (World of Warcraft, League of Legends, etc.)

With Star Wars: The Old Republic, two (and only two!) of said friends are having issues with Push to Talk (PTT).  For some reason, when the game is focused, their PTT keys no longer work - holding the key down does nothing.

The facts:

If they unfocus the game, PTT works again until they go back in.
Toggling on/off the "Use Direct Input" option did not change behavior.
They are both using Fullscreen (Windowed) mode and Windows 7 (as are many of us).
I do not know precisely which keys they are trying to use for PTT, but I know Middle Mouse was attempted.
Turning off PTT does work, but they prefer to use PTT.
Just these 2 of all my friends have the issue, and only with Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Has anyone else seen and resolved this issue, or know of good debugging steps to help us resolve it?

texts: Minecraft FTB Unleashed - Why won't my ME Basic Import Bus work?

texts:
fellow mad scientists.

I've been playing FTB Unleashed (v1.1.3) for a while now and I recently discovered the Applied Energistics mod. I've also watched Direwolf20's spotlight and a couple other YouTube videos about it and it's looking really awesome.

This is my first attempt at an ME network, but I've hit a bit of a snag; I've read on the wiki and seen on YouTube that you can import items from machines using a Basic Import Bus, so I hooked one up to a Macerator in combination with an ME Interface to auto-macerate stuff for me. The crafting/macerating part works fine, but the problem is that the Basic Import Bus doesn't appear to be pulling the items out of the Macerator once they're done.

I'm not sure why it's not doing anything, because I've made sure that everything has sufficient power (the network is hooked up to an MFSU powered by a Nuclear Reactor, with transformers in between of course) and everything is connected through ME blocks or ME cables.

Could it be the orientation of the Macerator that's messing this up? I've tried rotating it in several directions and connecting the Import Bus to different sides of the Macerator, but that still doesn't do anything.

I've also tried restarting the server I'm playing on as well as the client and re-placing the ME blocks and cables multiple times, but that doesn't affect anything either.

Here's an imgur album of screenshots I took of the network and some machine GUIs.

Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening and how I can get the Import Bus to work?

texts: Is there a way to keep the screen steady in Smash Brothers?

texts:
If you look back at the N64 version, the screen hardly ever shakes/rumbles/tremors. I believe it only shakes during bombs and some select heavy attacks.

In the Melee and Brawl versions, however, it is almost non-stop. I have always found it annoying and that it made it hard to play long sessions and hard in general to track players. This is especially true when two people are beating each other up on the other side of the screen, the camera is zoomed out, and I am trying to fight someone else. When I do a 1v1 the screen shaking basically doesn't bother me.

You can see the difference on this smash bros video at 9:53 and then 10:26.

Is there an option or a cheat to turn off screen shaking?

I have level 35 legacy in my main character's server. And I created another one to play with my friends in another server which has level 20 legacy.

Now my friends quit the game, and I want to transfer the little one to my main's server.

I checked the link below:

What happens to your legacy when you transfer characters in SWTOR?

Here it says:

Unlocks will pass, quite nice.
Old one will remain and won't be affected, nice as well

But what about Legacy level? I have 35 here, if I transfer the small one to my server which is 20, will my legacy level still be 35, or will they merge the xp and become a higher legacy level?

texts: In DOOM (2016) how do you turn off or disable Developer Mode?

texts:
When I first fired up Doom I toggled GOD mode so I could screw with the AI, but now Doom seems to be stuck in Developer Mode. I can no longer earn achievement and show off my progress.

Whenever an achievement should be awarded the game suggests restarting "without accessing any developer tools to restore.":

Shacknews.com suggests the possibility that there is a "Cheat Flag" on my save.

  We’d also like to mention that using any of the commands listed above may trigger a Cheat Flag on your save file, that may or may not disable online play. This is how the system worked in the game’s alpha build, and it may affect players the same way in the final release.

Unfortunately, restarting Doom and not hitting the tilde key does not solve the issue and I can't afford to loose my save as I've already invested 8+ hours. Are there any commands I can run to disable Developer Mode?

Everything is at least Spec Grade or Higher. Dont really know if theres something better to what I currently use , Weight isnt really a issue when most of my Pawns have 20+ Strength, but would still like to have them light in case I have to move around the map.


texts: Location based gamerules on Minecraft Realm (1.14.4)

texts:
Me and a bunch of buddies have a minecraft realm and have access to the nether too. We don't have any gamerules changed at this point but I (as the owner) got some complaints about losing items in the nether due to them burning in lava and Creepers blowing up the houses at spawn.

I can definitely see these things being annoying so I wanted to change some gamerules but not everywhere.

What I'm asking is, if it's possible to set gamerules based on location on realms? (I'm specifically saying realms because I know plugins like on servers could be a solution but because it's a realm I can't get those on there)

What I mean by that is if it's possible to turn on /gamerule keepInventory true only for the players in the nether and turn on /gamerule doMobGriefing false in a specific area. (maybe it's possible to do something like this with commandblocks)

  Do dungeons repopulate?

While I have not played Skyrim yet I have heard some disturbing news on clearing dungeons.  I have heard that once you clear a dungeon it is marked that the dungeon has been cleared on the map which it nice but the not so nice part is that I have heard that at least in 1 case, the dungeon did not re-spawn (instead it was filled with freindly NPCs after being cleared).  Can anyone confirm if this is true and whether or not this applied to all dungeons or maybe just a few certain ones?

I use to re-run certain dungeons when I was in need or a particular item.  For instance, certain dungeons were filled with people carrying arrows so if I needed them I would just go back to the dungeons every once in a while to stock up on them.  If I can't do this anymore, that would really suck.


texts: What is the first doctor you can reasonably access in Fallout 4?

texts:
What's the easiest to access or first doctor you can access in Fallout 4?  Of course more than one is welcome.  This should be the doctor that is easiest to access by a low level character (assume the lowest level character that can reach any doctor), ideally close to Vault 111/Sanctuary.

If a more specific area is needed, you can reference this map on how dangerous areas are:

I'd suggest sticking to doctors that are in the areas of the map which are blue (accessible by most characters below level 16).  If the map isn't available for some reason, this is roughly a 45 degree wedge from Cambridge up into the northwestern corner of the map.

This question originally was: Is there a doctor consistently available before Diamond city?  Given that people interested in this may well search google for terms like doctor, Lexington, Cambridge and Diamond city I am going to leave that in the text as well.

I know there is a traveling doctor in the area (having run into her), but I'm looking for one that is in a fixed location (or very predictable) that players can locate with constancy if they need medical care early in the game.

texts: Problem in XCom Enemy Unknown when first item is Attack european alien base

texts:
I encountered the following problem in XCom Enemy Unknown on PS3. In the Mission control screen, I have two options during gameplay: the first one is attack European alien base, the second is "scan for activity". Occasionally, when I scan for activity, a UFO landing site is reported, with now options to intercept the landing site ("send skyranger"), or to ignore. If I decide to intercept, I go to the team preparation screen, but the mission tag says that I am attacking the alien base. I haven't tried to launch the mission, but is it a glitch in the mission name, or a glitch in the selection ?

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

So I live in mainland China, under the surveillance of the infamous Great Firewall. However, for my surprise, I am perfectly able to browse in my 3DS' (as long as I don't access a "forbidden" website) and (not so perfectly) access eShop and download games etc. However, it seems to me that some in-game (and maybe others) online features are being blocked by it.

In my case I have a problem with in-game online operations in Pokemon Sun. Every time I try to trade or battle online I get an error, usually error 001-0502 but eventually also error 001-0803. This seem to suggest I might be having a problem when trying to connect to the server. I tried and look for nearly everything that could be googled but nothing really seems to work. So I cannot help but to wonder if this error isn't being caused by the Great Firewall, which is blocking my connection to Nintendo's servers?

Putting the question in a more general form:

  How is 3DS' online gaming experience affected by China's Great Firewall?

As it currently stands, Prompto can only capture 10 or so photos between rest times. When I rest every couple of hours, this isn't an issue and I can get some good shots in that time frame.

How can I increase the number of photos Prompto can take? If so, is there a maximum limit this can be increased to?

i'm new to CK2 and i get confused a lot.

But then i notices my succession law is Gavelkind.
I said to myself 'this is probably how it works', and continued playing. But then i noticed popups about who supports who continue to happen! And they talk about County of Ulster, not Duchy: http://i.imgur.com/Y82J2.jpg

texts: When is enmity or aggro generated in Bravely Default

texts:
This is sort of a compound question with regards to the enmity/aggro system in Bravely Default.

The first part is: when is enmity generated?  When I attack an enemy, is that player going to be targeted by only the enemy that that player attacked, or by the whole party of enemies?  I figured that actions done by your party generate enmity through the whole party of enemies such as with casting cure causing all enemies to attack the caster.

The second part is, when do enemies decide who to attack?  I know that from the player standpoint, all battle decisions are done on your turn, so you decide who to attack, and if the battle state changes during your attack phase, there is nothing you can do until the next turn.  However, with regard to enemies, if you do a 4 brave healing spree, will the enemy attack you on that turn or on the turn after the healing spree?

I had figured initially that the enemy just attacked at random, but seeing that there are items that you can equip to affect enmity, I wanted to figure out how I could get my tank to actually work as a tank.


texts:
Some time ago I have seen a minecart security mechanism which hid the minecarts below the surface and made them appear on a lever-switch. It appeared between two diagonally placed blocks (viewing from the side). Switching the lever made a door noise inside the system.

In case anyone understands what I am talking about - I am looking for any blueprints or details on this mechanism, do any exist?

Edit:
As suggested by James, I used power rails to solve the problem. This system is small, works fine and can even be condensed down to a booster section of 1 block. Note the ladder I put in the IO-tunnel so that the cart doesn't pop out. I will implement vertical wiring as well so it only needs two blocks in width.

Here are some screenshots taken from the system.

Nuke Happy: Has no hesitation to use nuclear weapons. Respects other civilizations that project strength with nuclear weapons.

These two agendas seem pretty at odd with each other and it seems when I try to keep satisfy one, the other agenda causes me to be denounced. So how can I keep Gandhi satisfied?

In Minecraft Bedrock edition, PS4 to be exact I’ve being experiencing “lighting glitches” I’ve seen a few fixes to this but they don’t seem to work, and I don’t feel like moving my 26 block high mob farm over a few blocks so does anyone know a fix in Bedrock edition?

If you don’t know what a lighting glitch is or have never seen one, they mostly occur at night or in dark places, when there’s no light source for some reason certain blocks will kinda glow, and the game sees it as a legitimate light source so like as if a torch were there, monsters for example won’t spawn there, this happens due to the game doing something that makes it easier to read chunks, a fix has been made for this by dinnerbone I think, but it’s never been added because it caused too much lag at the time.

texts:
When you're harvesting your garden, usually if you click "harvest" or "tend garden", the Sim will go around and perform these actions to every plant in the garden that the action is applicable to.

My Sim was doing this just fine until I moved neighbourhoods. I used the "copy to library" feature to move my Sims into a new neighbourhood, and since this, my Sim will not tend multiple plants automatically. I have to issue an instruction for each and every plant.

The exact behaviour is like this:

If I "Tend Garden" on a plant that is not ready for harvest, the Sim will tend that plant and all other plants that are not ready for harvest (by watering/weeding).
If I "Tend Garden" on a plant that is ready for harvest, the action is immediately cancelled, with no thought bubble above my Sim
If I "Harvest" on a harvestable plant, my Sim will harvest that plant
If I queue up multiple "Harvest" actions, my Sim will cancel all Harvest actions after the first
After a plant has been harvested once, it never becomes harvestable again

"Cool!", I thought, "it's giving me a recap of what I just did in-game!"  But then it occurred to me that maybe there's only one movie and they simply chose to show off some of the more neato-sweeto tools of the assassin's trade.

Does the Assassin's Creed 2 opening cinematic change based on how much of the game you've completed?


texts: Getting MW3 Double XP without Mtn Dew or any prestige tokens

texts:
Today (November 13th, 2011), while playing MW3 on Xbox I noticed I was getting Double XP for most of the day. I know that you can enable it a few different ways, but I didn't do anything special this weekend. This was player XP, so like kill confirmed was giving me 100 score for each tag.

While playing, my accounts tag (not sure if thats the right name, but where the emblem, title, and more show up) had a red/orange 'XP' icon in the top right.

I didn't do anything that I can think of to enable this. And I haven't done anything special in the game (and I didn't pay for Elite). I was a beta tester for Elite though.

I couldn't find anything online stating it was a double XP weekend either.

My question is - how are other ways to get Double XP?


texts:
From the question How does auto-pickup work?, we know that ammo is shared between players in co-op. How does this sharing work? Does each player get the full amount of ammo, or is it divided between them? Does it make a difference if one player already has full ammo of the type being picked up?

I'm also interested in the sharing of money and Eridium, but I believe those are covered in How does experience work in co-op?


texts: Terraria - Flying Snakes spawn limitations (Gold farm)

texts:
So I've just set up a good old "Lucky coin - Lihzard farm".

I dug out a gigantic room according to the maximum spawn range (168x94 tiles) sat myself in the middle and everything was running pretty fine.

I also set up spear traps for the flying snakes as usual, but the thing is I'm playing on expert mode and those winged bastards take forever to die, leaving my farm with only about half the efficiency it could have.

So i've been thinking:

If i was to checker the whole room with blocks so that only lihzards can spawn, i wouldn't have any flying snakes.

Lihzards (on spawn) are player size, meaning 3 high and 2 wide, snakes look like 4 high 3 wide or something.

Can someone confirm that, if there was no place in the whole room with 4x3 free space, no flying snakes would spawn?

Or doesn't it work like that?

Please note that I have put into consideration shield time with these layouts.

texts: What am I to do when something appears on one of the levels?

texts:
After playing some more the Binding of Isaac I've come across strange messages that are triggered by certain events.

For instance, when I defeated one of the bosses, I suddenly got a pop-up message that read something along the lines of: "A radioactive spider has appeared in the dungeon" (there was also a drawing of a spider on that message).

Another time, after taking a yellow pill, I got a rather enigmatic hint that said "bombs are keys". I then proceeded to blow up a strange looking rock, only to be greeted with another pop-up saying: "A small rock has appeared in the basement" (this time with a picture of a block. I don't know if taking the pill was actually a prerequisite to get this message).

What do these messages mean, exactly? What am I supposed to do once they appear?

For role-playing reasons, I like to keep or avoid scrapping certain junk items in my settlement for decoration or to bring out an effect (e.g. I kept the junk postboxes on the streets of Sanctuary Hills). I have also placed junk I gathered from other places to decorate my interiors (e.g. microscopes and beakers in my "science lab").

I am afraid that by assigning settlers to Scavenging Stations they might scrap those raw "junk" items I left out intentionally.

All the minecraft Wikis are out of date when it comes to village mechanics. If you google it, you get results for 1.8 and 1.9 village mechanics as if we're still living in 2014...
I'm pretty sure my villagers are refusing to breed because the population cap is met (hearts appear, beds are accessible, but they go angry mode and give up). This was expected, I'm just testing some breeder designs and the baby villager chamber was too close to the breeding pair. I move them further away but the villagers still won't breed. From the limited info I could find on breeding mechanics:
"A village census is periodically taken to determine the current population"
Okay, great... So what does "periodically" mean? Is it random tick based? On a timer? How long you gotta wait before the population is updated??

texts: Where is the conversation between Mother and Partner in Episode 2 - Mortimer’s study?

texts:
When after investigating the Mortimer’s study in Episode 2, at the summary of the quest I got the following screen:

The thing is, I'm pretty sure I made everything in this quest:

get disk on the ground;
read burnt parchment at the fireplace;
retrieve the key;
Romans Chapter 11 Verse 11 of the bible -> something special hidden behind the youngest apostle;
Hebrews Chapter 6 Verse 8 -> another message from Sarah;
Revelations Chapter 12 Verse 14 -> another hidden message;
Gospels and Acts of the Apostles under Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 10 Verse 8 will find the final clue;
Pick lock a small chest on the fireplace.

... and finally...

   Decipher the Nightmare (literal -> object -> pass the check)

So... I still got the "Could have found the conversation between mother and partner" message.

How do I succeed that task?


texts: Why is my character model constantly shrinking?

texts: So, I have this curious problem with my character model. The problem being that my character models shrink when I exit V.A.T.S or enter a new area. The commands player.setscale and player.modscale are only temporary, as they are just hotfixes. As soon as one of the former mentioned criteria are met, my character model just reverts back to its "original" size (Which I suspect is 0.80 in height). Does anybody perhaps have a way of making either console commands permanent?


texts: How do you complete the speed challenge for Zero Preservation Initiative

texts:
In Human Resource Machine, each stage starting with Year 6 has two bonus objectives.

In Year 9, the Speed Challenge is to get it in 25 steps.  However, my solution (the standard programming solution) takes 28 steps.

In this puzzle, you must move all 0 inputs to the Outbox.  There are 8 inputs and 4-5 of them are 0.

Here's what I came up with

-- HUMAN RESOURCE MACHINE PROGRAM --

a:
b:
    INBOX
    JUMPZ    c
    JUMP     b
c:
    OUTBOX
    JUMP     a

In the above, each 0 takes 4 steps and each non-0 takes 3 steps.  On average, it's saying this takes 28 steps.

What is the correct sequence to complete this in 25 or less steps?


texts:
I recently started playing Fallout 4 again in hopes of actually finishing the game.
I'm at a point in the game where you need to build the Signal Interceptor. Except the only item I have is the pad itself, nothing else except the robotic workbench in my special inventory. Everything else I need isn't there.
When I place the platform down, the quest doesn't update. When I go to talk to the Railroad [Desdemonda, Tinker Tom, etc.] they only answer with generic responses. Tinker tom allows me to barter with him though.
There is nothing surrounding the platform, nothing but ground beneath it, and there should be enough space. I also have at least 5 platforms now (oops).
So all the assisting NPC's are unable to help, I only have one note telling me that I need to get certain items for the platform only. Everything else is missing, and I can't power it. Every thread I have seen has not had a fix for me.
[Edit] This is the Railroad Route, not the Brotherhood one.

texts: How do I throw out (or pick off) base stealers in RBI Baseball 14?

texts:
I'm playing the Android version of RBI Baseball 14.

The CPU players will often steal second base.  I can have my catcher throw to second, but although I tap the second base button as soon as the catcher gets the ball, and I think my reflexes are reasonably good, over dozens of games I have never managed to throw out the runner.

Is there a trick to this?  Are my reflexes just too slow?  Is there a bug in the game making it impossible?

Whenever I try to steal second against the CPU, they almost always throw me out.

On a related note, when there is a runner leading off first, I can tap the little inset box to have my pitcher try a pickoff throw to first.  Over dozens of games and hundreds of throws, I have never successfully picked off the runner - they always get back in time.  (I'm not sure it deters them from stealing second, either.)  Again, is there a trick to pickoffs, or is this impossible, or just very low probability?


texts: How do I prevent GeForce from making changes to Skyrim

texts:
I have recently bought a game that requires GeForce Experience. When I
installed GeForce, I realized that it made small changes to some of my games.
Most of the games it made changes too I enjoyed. However it made some changes to Skyrim that I didn't care for.

When I got on the game I noticed that the display was zoomed in, I also noticed that the brightness was different ( but it really isn't a problem), and the last thing was the blur of the screen when my player turned or moved too fast.

I realize that those things are probably improvements for the game, but after playing Skyrim for so long the way it was on my PC, the changes that GeForce made is just annoying.

I don't really want to uninstall GeForce cause the game I got was for both my brother and myself to have something to do together, and without GeForce it won't start. Any ideas or solutions would be great.

texts: Steam keeps making me appear offline in my Friends list

texts:
Steam seems to be doing something rather strange.  I am always online.  I have no issues launching, updating, or playing any game.  Every so often, though, it seems to kick me into Appear Offline on my Friends list, though.  I don't ever tell it to do that; it just does it automatically.  I usually only notice when someone yells at me to get online in Steam.

I checked the Settings page, and I'm not seeing any setting in the Friends tab that would allow me to turn off this option.  If option it actually is.  It's happened often enough that I'm suspecting it's some sort of "inactive" deal, kinda like how Messenger used to set you to Away, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

How can I tell Steam that I like being online and to stay that way?


texts: How can I prevent the SF4 game engine from misinterpreting special commands?

texts:

Instead of forward, c.MK, Fireball I get forward, c.MK, Dragonpunch.

Is there some kind of trick to force the game engine to do what I want? The input is correct from what I read in training mode.

Edit: I use a MC Tournament Edition Fight Stick.


texts: Why is the experience a character gains different from what is reported at the end of battle?

texts:
In normal mode, does anyone know why the experience a character actually earns is different from the amount reported at the end of battle?

I've noticed something while playing the game that, for some reason, that the experience reported at the end of a battle is different from what characters in my party receive. For example,

The protagonist is level 22, has 15,674 total experience (with 1,369 to next level). After fighting a group of Shadows comprised of a Jack Frost and two Nue in the second Palace the end results report 182 experience gained from the combat.

Now, if I look at the protagonist's stats I see that he has a 15,841 total experience (with 1,202 to next level).

The difference between before and after is 167 experience, which means somewhere I'm losing 15 experience points for the protagonist.

I'm guessing there is a scale being applied to the actual amount of experience each character earns, based on how close in level they are to the enemies fought. It's the only rationale I can think of for the disparity.

Does anyone know for certain?


texts: How to reset default Minecraft skin to Steve?

texts: I liked the Steve skin, but then the default skin was set to Alex. I don't mind Alex, but I want my default set back to Steve. When opening the MC launcher, I changed the skin to the Steve skin file that is in the MC assets folder. This gave me the Steve skin, but it treated the Steve skin like a downloaded skin, not a default. The problem with this? It didn't work with texture/resource packs. For example, I have a Gravity Falls pack that changes Steve to Dipper Pines. But when I have the Steve on, it won't change to Dipper!! Any advice?

There's a daily drawing in Dragon City, where you choose one of the cards and get a reward. Between drawing the cards are shown to you, and there are various rewards including crystals. But as for now, I've got only the lowest value rewards.

Is that drawing really honest? By honest I understand, the cards are really mixed and you have the same probability to get each of rewards. I can't exclude I've had misluck, but maybe it's not a real drawing, and it doesn't matter what card you click, an algorithm decides what you get.

Answering that questions would require, of course, a large series of tries and summing up the information from the other players.

I hope someone can answer this question. Thanks


texts: Referencing JSON file in Minecraft Bedrock via command

texts:
On Minecraft Bedrock Edition, I have just created a JSON file that creates a chest with random loot in it. The problem is that I don't know the command to get the chest that contains random loot. Here is what I did.
I used https://minecraft.tools/en/loots.php to create a loot table that gives you a certain amount of random items.
I then saved this in a JSON file and put it in the following directory along with a manifest JSON file in order for Minecraft to recognise it.

The problem I am now having is that I don't know how to use the give command in Minecraft to give me a chest with random loot that uses the JSON file. The website I used to create the random loot table generator mentions this is the command you would use to get the chest with random loot from the JSON file loot table created (in Java Editon though):
/give @p minecraft:chest 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{LootTable:"mctools:chests/loot_table"}}

The problems I am having with this are that I don't know what directory I would need to put in to access the JSON file loot table, I am also not sure what other syntax would be needed because I know the idea of using minecraft:chest only works for Minecraft: Java Edition and for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition you would have to do something different. What I am asking is, what type of command do I need to use to give me a chest which uses the JSON file loot table?

Online guides state that IVs impact your chance to gain stats on level up. That is, each character has a range of IVs which impact their chances of rolling well when leveling up.

It's not an account problem either, because with the same account I play without problems from other PCs.

texts: How can I improve Light Armor as an Archer?

texts:
I play as an archer, which means sneaking and killing foes off at long range. Problem is, once a creature gets too close to me, I am in a world of troubles. (A random dragon encounter is fair game if I can snipe it off, but a random bear encounter is the thing I fear mostly. Three strikes of such a vicious beast and I drop dead.)

At short range, I use a one-hand sword with shield, but I do not want to put much perks into those skills, as I want to be a sneaky archer first.

Which leaves Light Armor. But to get certain perks I need some skill points, e.g., 30 points are required for the "Custom Fit"- and 40 for "Agile Defender 2/5"-perk. Yet I have no clue how to accumulate those points.

Many enemies won't even see me, so I seldom will be hit. Getting hits means getting skills point. Letting some enemies come close to me and let me hit me on purpose sometimes helps, but since I cannot stand much damage I mostly die erasing any hard earned process.

So is there a teacher for Light Armor like there is for other skills? And if not, how should I go on to improve the Light Armor skill?

texts: Stole a pre-war book at Mojave Outpost and lost a lot of gear -- what happened?

texts:
I was dressed as a member of NCR, and on a larf, decided to steal a meaningless item in the barracks (a pre-war book, specifically). I was wearing NCR armor and an NCR goggle helmet.

Once I did, no one turned red, but all of a sudden, I received a message stating I was no longer dressed as a member of the NCR, and several follow-up messages about items no longer being in my inventory. Several of them seemed to be things I ... um ... kind of stole from the Mojave Outpost. Several, however, were not things I took from the Outpost. (Though they did correspond, sort of, to stuff I looted out of NCRCF.)

What exactly just happened? I reloaded an autosave from entering the barracks, but I'm curious as to why so much loot/gear disappeared from my inventory upon stealing a piddly little pre-war book, but without anyone turning red and trying to kill me ...


texts:
Cleaning my computer-related old boxes I cam across a torn (missing pages) MKII manual and I was wondering what it is. I tried searching for it online but didn't find it or any reference to it. It contains a review of the moves of every character as well as strategy to beating the bosses, and there are a few extras there too.

I scanned 2 pages, one is the back cover (I think, pages are missing after all) and one randomly selected for demonstration.

I can scan more if there is request for it.

What is this manual, who published, is it available online? Any additional information is welcomed.

If anyone knows how to do this or can point me in the right direction for a tutorial that would be great. Thanks.

texts: Group Manager permissions not working when adding via game command

texts:
I wanted my Moderators and above to be able to /feed, and so I did the command:

This then said that the permission had been given to the assigned group (and above due to inheritance).

Next I did "/manload" to make sure the groups were loaded properly, but alas, it says that I do not access to that command when I put myself in the Moderator group.


texts: Are these symptoms of a bad PS1 memory card or a bad PS2?

texts:
I recently bought a PS2 Slim. It seems to work fine. I didn't realize I needed a PS1 memory card, so without much thought, I bought the cheapest one on ebay. The brand is Hyperkin (so it's not official), and it came in a sealed package.

I put it in, fired it up, and when I tried to save a Gran Turismo 2 file, I was prompted to format the card, so I did that, saved my game, and restarted the system. The save was there, so everything seemed fine.

I played about 10 hours between various games, saving and loading just fine, using 5 or so blocks (I definitely didn't fill the card). Then while playing FF7, after having saved a few times already in my session, when I tried to save again, I was prompted with "Memory card not formatted. Format now?". I wasn't really thinking, so I just said "yes". My other saves were now gone, but I was able to save the current game, and just continued playing.

I lost the progress in my other games but I hoped it was just a one-time glitch because the card was "new" or something, but I continued to use the card after this, and I was able to save and load normally for another 15 hours of play between my games.

And then it did it again. I was playing FF Tactics, I had already been playing for an hour or so, I had saved just fine a few times, and suddenly when I tried to save again, I got message saying "Game data corrupted", and then after hitting OK, I got the "Memory card not formatted. Format now?" message.

The PS2 browser now sees the card as an unformatted card.

My question is: are these normal symptoms of a bad card, or is there any reason I should think the PS2 itself is bad? I realize the common wisdom will suggest to get an official Sony card, but has anyone else tried this particular card with a PS2 slim?

I've put a couple hours into FFX with a PS2 card and it seems fine so far, so I suppose if that card gets corrupted somehow, then I will have a clear answer.

I'm going to try getting an official sony ps1 card, but is there anything else I'm not realizing about this issue? Another question here suggests only certain PS1 cards work well with the Slim

texts: Are the contents of chests in battles random?

texts:
When battling enemy troops in King's Bounty: The Legend, the battlefield will often contain one or more chests.

I make it a point to open a fair share of these chests, which vary in contents from a negligable amount of gold to the extremely useful Might/Mind/Magic runes.

So I was wondering - are the contents of the chests pre-determined (and if so, are the chest placements throughout battles pre-determined as well)?

texts: Game Over if all crew dead but have cloning bay?

texts:
Regarding the advanced edition of FTL:

If all of your crew dies but you have a cloning bay on your vessel, is it immediately game over, or does the cloning bay prevent that?  Is the game smart enough to know that a damaged cloning bay and a fully dead crew means you cannot recover, but a functional one (even if temporarily without power) could revive your crew?

Also, does this answer differ between hostile ships and your own ship?  (That is, do you get to capture and loot enemy vessels that have all dead crew but have a functional cloning bay?)

texts: Which shuffle racing setting gives the most variety in the available cars?

texts:
Currently when running shuffle racing in Gran Turismo, you can set the "base" performance points from 300 to 500 at 20 point increments. This controls the cars that are randomly assigned to all the racers.

At 300 points there appears to be a very limited handful of cars available with the same half dozen of cars making a regular appearance. Available cars also become limited as the setting approaches 500.

Does anyone know which setting gives the greatest variety of available cars? Is it PP400, or higher than that?


texts: Is there a way to reduce texture popping in Rage?

texts:
Rage is a good looking game, and it sure runs so smoothly on my desktop, which is far from top of the line. While that is technically impressive, it seems there are no free meals, as I am plagued by some very annoying texture popping.

While I understand that loading textures only when you need them can be very efficient, the game doesn't seem to predict the required textures well enough. When looking around frantically (not uncommon in an FPS) I often find myself seeing something like the following:

Which soon enough turns into:

I recall coming across an article that discussed possible tweaks for the game, which stated this had something to do with a small number of CPU cores (I have four, personally, and I don't really consider it a small number...). The article also said this area will be improved in a future patch, but that meanwhile there are a few launch-parameters that can help alleviate the issue.

Has anyone had any success at resolving the texture popping issue, or at least making it less common? If so, I would like to know how and if there are any trade-offs.

texts: How is the code to the first keypad door in System Shock supposed to be found?

texts:
In System Shock, on floor 1, the first locked door with the keypad right next to it requires a three digit code, which I know to be 451 due to searching online. However, my question is, how is the player supposed to know the code using any in-game means, that is, without searching for it online?

I've read all the emails and logs up to that point, collected every item so far, and none provide you with the actual code or any other means to bypass the keypad. I've searched for walkthroughs and let's plays, and in all of them they just input the code without actually explaining how they found it out. I've found some forum threads about it, but they always end up with someone just posting the code but no explanation as to how to obtain it. I've searched through the game manual, and it's not there. It's not on the box art. I'm seriously out of ideas. Am I missing something very obvious, or how were people able to get past the door back when the game first came out?

I have never played any Civilization-series games before. But i love strategy games.
I have already played some turn base strategy games. But Civilization 4 looks different for me. In the other games, there will be some initial workers. I use them to get food/metal/wealth/build. Then build an army. But in Civilization 4 I am not able to do any of the things that I used to do in other games. I am not able to build anything, not able create workers/warriors. I am not even able to move the existing worker who comes with the game start up.

What do I need to know to start with this game? Is there any online material kind of documentation for this game.

Any help/links would be appreciative!

I'm playing Kittens Game.  I was doing ok, and then winter came.  I have 50 catnip fields (the cost for another is current >50% of my max catnip [5000]).

I'd like to hunt big monsters or gods, since it's the only "mini-quest"/objective that I can perform (seems a bit silly to me, by the way).  But even if I have a level 20 character, one of these fellas will kill me with a simple shot.  And if it doesn't, the swarm around them will.

How can I continue to improve my character's performances even after I reached the level cap ?  I can't find any good stuff (armor, weapon, spell), because I can't kill the big monsters that will drop it...

This doesn't happen anymore, and I am wondering why this happened, and when it got removed. Thanks!

texts: Jukebox mode in Rock Band 3 with Party Shuffle?

texts:
I have a lot of songs in my Rock Band 3 library -- thousands of them.

Sometimes I'd just like to listen to the tracks in the library, particularly because these are original multi-track studio masters, free of CD mastering artifacts and artificial "loudness", e.g.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

I can...

select "Party Shuffle" in quickplay
have a single vocalist with no mic attached (just a regular controller)
enable "no fail" mode
enable "performance" mode in the modifiers menu to get rid of the vocals game UI

This almost gets me a jukebox mode for listening to the music (and watching the animated characters play in on the monitor if I like), but it gets stuck at the song completion / results screen, where I have to press a controller button to advance.

Is there any way to bypass this limitation or otherwise have a true jukebox mode that continuously plays random tracks from my Rock Band song library?

Or does each dungeon have a boss or mechanics that simply require multiple people?
I am a veteran MMO player, so i have done stuff like this in other games.

I mean, it was all good in the beginning, had all my music. It was chill. Then, I saw a corrupted file. No biggie; just delete it. Well, it was a biggie. As the day progressed, more files got corrupted and I deleted them.

I don't even know what songs I'm missing.

I haven't taken this SD card out without turning my PS Vita all the way off, first. I haven't tinkered with anything that might've messed it up. I don't know what happened.

So, why is my music becoming corrupted, and how do I stop/fix it??

I'm playing a male High Elf, and currently have houses in Whiterun, Riften, and Solitude.  All of my Housecarls are female.  Additionally, I've noticed that most of the Jarls' Housecarls are also of the opposite gender.  (I believe I saw one male/male Jarl/Housecarl pairing, but I can't recall who or where.)

Is this generally the standard?  If I play a female character, will my Housecarls be male?

I purchased the Aquarium VI at the same time as my fish, for fear of letting them die for not vising them enough. I've never noticed the aquarium before I purchased this upgrade, but there is a button on the Aquarium that simply states "Use".

Pressing this button has no noticeable effect, and doesn't become available again for quite some time. What does this "use" button do?

So I was cheerfully slaughtering Terrans at Char, specifically here:

Warfield eventually screams something along the lines of: "evacuate the civilians!"

As he finishes that sentence, I begin laughing as I hunt for civilians......... wait. What. Civilians? In Char?

At first I thought "maybe he means the scientists" buuuut, as far as I am concerned, I destroyed both research facilities (there used to be two in both sides of the map), and I really doubt there would be scientists outside them. As you can appreciate in the image above, I am located in an area with no such facilities - and that's precisely when Warfield screams. Moreover, both facilities were destroyed by then so... yeah.

Civilians. Why were there civilians in an abominable place like Char? I mean, it has been like three weeks since they claimed the planet. Which was full with Zerg. Everywhere.


texts: Whats the point of asking about the frenchman?

Every time I talk to a traveler in a tavern, I have the option of paying him 30 thaler and having him tell me the location of one Jaques de Clermont.  What is his significance other than just being the tutorial dude in the beginning?  Even when I go to the town he's in, I can't find any reference to him nor see him in the tavern.

This is for Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword
