texts: Do I need to pick up every single thing?

texts: After I finished the first mission, a list of objects appeared, the ones I had taken (including those I've discarded) were highlighted, the rest were grayed out. Am I going to be somehow rewarded for picking up objects during a mission? It seems bizzare that replacing a filet knife with a knife would have any consequences, but the menu hints at just that.


texts: Must I have cemeteries / landfills or can I use crematoriums / incinerators exclusively?

texts: When my city gets large enough to get crematoriums and incinerators, I generally use those over cemeteries and landfills. They don't need to be emptied, and I'm going to need the burners anyway to empty the other buildings. Invariably, my city winds up with dead bodies (and trash) in almost every building, so that got me wondering if I do need cemeteries to perform the initial body pickup? And crematoriums are only used when emptying cemeteries? Or do crematoriums actually collect dead bodies from buildings, and my large number of uncollected bodies is indicative of another problem (traffic?)?

texts: How to turn seconds into minutes and seconds

texts:
I am making a racing minigame in Minecraft in 1.8.9 right now. I seem to have trouble how to figure out how to convert my existing setup into minutes and seconds. Let me explain:

I have an objective, best, which finds the best time of a player once they finish my course. After, the player can check to see if they have reached a personal best by pressing a button. This button just executes a tellraw command that says the objective. The problem is that best is in only seconds, so if their personal best is higher than 59 seconds, it will still display in seconds. How do I convert it to minutes and seconds?

Read the bold to save time and not die of boredom.

On the inventory screen, there is a bar showing how visible you are with your current loadout.

To phrase the question another way (in case it's not clear), if we think of low, medium, and high visibility as having values of 1, 2, and 3, is there any difference in visibility between 2.1 and 2.9?

texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) How to simulate overworld terrain generation?

texts:
I need to scatter a specific floating-island structure (stored in a structure file in a datapack) randomly throughout the overworld, so that there is one island approximately every 1000 blocks in any direction. I know that I'll need to run a function to place the structure blocks for the structure at the position of armorstands, which are flung out across the world using /spreadplayers, but I don't know how to make them "generate in" naturally when the player enters new chunks. The /spreadplayers command allows me to spread a number of armorstands over an area with a minimum distance in between them, but I can't just do it out to the world limit.

The chunk format wiki page has tags for how long a chunk has been inhabited by players and stuff like heightmaps to know if the island will conflict with a mountain (I would prefer to only spawn the islands in in low-lying places for maximum effect), but I don't know of any way to access them dynamically ingame. Assuming I could test the InhabitedTime: of a chunk, I still don't really know how that might help me accomplish this: I just put it in here in case it gives anyone else an idea.

I'm really quite stuck and any help on how to do this would be appreciated.

I recently built a new computer. It's not mind-blowingly amazing but it's pretty solid, and I can play any game in my Steam library on it. I've been messing around with graphics settings in Borderlands 2. Right now, I have everything on high, with the FPS set at unlimited. The FPS-counter wildly varies from 60-200. Although during normal gameplay, it stays pretty close to 70-90. I have not experienced any screen tearing. I've noticed that there are settings for limiting the frames per second. The settings are:

smoothed 22-62
capped 30/50/60/72/120
unlimited

Is there any reason to NOT go with unlimited?

texts: Can my friend and I use my (singular) save game on the LAN?

texts:
My friend and I started playing BL2 in a LAN centre this evening for a bit of fun.

We got some way into it, then his machine restarted, which meant his save game was lost (as the LAN centre machines wipe stuff off when people log out).

I quickly zipped my save folder, emailed it to him… he loaded it up, it loaded up… he could see my character,and we could find each other's game on the network, but were unable to get in… it did the 30 second timeout countdown, then that was it.

So, my question is twofold:

1) Is it possible to play the same character from the same save file together on two machines?

2) If, in future, we return to the LAN centre and copy our save files, will we be able to play them online, or does moving save files around automatically make them offline only?  (This appeared to be what had happened, as further tinkering seemed to indicate that this transferred file could not participate in any kind of online/LAN game we tried to set up, even with a newly rolled character.)

Maybe this is important - this game was not using Steam in any (visible) way.  We certainly weren't logged into Steam.

texts: "Closest Bonuses" on bungie.net for Destiny, what is this?

texts:
On the Advisors sub-page on Bungie.net, I can see the following list, under a section called "Closest Bonuses":

Edit The bonuses are attached to an icon signifying a type of mob, edited it into the list below.

Glimmer Income Bonus (669 / 775 kills) - Icon: Legionary
Resource Income Bonus (2220 / 2500 kills) - Icon: Meridian Bay
Weapon XP Bonus (4014 / 5000 kills) - Icon: Auto Rifles
Glimmer Income Bonus (980 / 1250 kills) - Icon: Goblin
Glimmer Income Bonus (192 / 250 kills) - Icon: Captain
Resource Income Bonus (1865 / 2500 kills) - Icon: Ishtar Sink

What does this signify? What happens when, say, I reach the 775 kills of the first one? Will I get a temporary bonus to glimmer income? Will I get a small item, like the Black Wax Idol?

texts:
I am having different windows stay open sometimes when I try to close them while in the base. As for instances, I will change out a soldier before a mission, I remove the existing soldier, and open the selection list to slot in a new rookie. The selection list stays open, and I cannot do anything to close it.

Or, I change the loadout of a soldier, and I click to view the description of an item, the item stays open on my screen, and I cannot remove it. This usually leads to a crash to desktop if I manage to launch the mission.

Is there any way to force these windows to close that I am missing?

Clicking on the icon to close them does nothing, and I have crashed more than a half dozen times due to this glitch. Usually, I can click on some of the stuff in the background screen (to activate the mission perhaps) although anything covered by the window becomes inaccessible.

texts: What determines which Blade of Hjaalmarch I get?

texts:
I've helped the people of Morthal, so now Jarl Idgrod has made me Thane and wants to give me the Blade of Hjaalmarch. Apparently, this blade can be either a sword or a greatsword. Searching the internet for a while, I've found a source that claims it is random, while another one claims it's based on your one-handed and two-handed skills.

I use one-handed weapons only, so naturally that skill is higher and I want the one-handed version of the blade. However, I always get the two-handed one, even after restarting the game a couple of times. Am I screwed or do I just have bad luck and should keep trying?


texts: How do I win the mock battle against the USS Republic?

texts:
I just started Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and apparently I'm so bad that I can't even win the mock battle against the USS Republic. After reading the manual closely, I figured out the controls and can last about 30 seconds in a battle with the Republic before being defeated. My methodology so far is:

Arm shields
Arm weapons
Turn on target analysis (can't figure out what this actually does)
Figure out where the ship is using the ship position monitor
Turn to face it (using the mouse)
Unload phasers at long range and photon torpedoes at short range
If I survive my first encounter and can't see the ship anymore, tell Scotty to repair the shields (if those are fixed, then stuff below it won't get damaged, right?)
Repeat steps 5-7

Invariably what happens is that I'm chasing the Republic, then it turns to face me and unloads its weapons. I continue to unload my weapons (like the "Fire Everything!" scene in Wrath of Khan), but it seems they always destroy the Enterprise (or at least, that's what the simulation says).

I figure that if I can't beat the USS Republic in a mock battle, there's no way that I can beat the real enemies in the game. How do I beat it? Or is this supposed to be a Kobayashi Maru no-win scenario?

texts: Is there any benefit to importing a save, rather than simulating one?

texts:
I know that The Witcher 3 allows me to 'simulate' a Witcher 2 save by allowing me to make various key decisions about what happened in the previous game.

However, I do have some Witcher 2 save files lying around. Thing is, I don't remember for sure what choices are in them, and I feel like I'd benefit from making them fresh. Alternately, I could always double back and replay the final chapter of The Witcher 2, or just roll the dice on whatever save I have lying around.

Is there any benefit or change from using an import, rather than simply making the choices in-game in The Witcher 3? For example, do any items carry over or NPC's or other changes that are not brought over based on the Q&A session?

texts:
I know is not a wise idea to play LoL in windows XP, but its all I have and after shutting down some processes and lowering graphics I got a steady 15-30 fps (which is fine for me).

However, I noticed some sounds freeze my game for 0.3 seconds the first time they are played (e.g Sona spells), and late-game, when many explosions and things are going on, I simply can't play with the sound enabled.

This problem is gone when I disable all sounds, but I really need to hear pings and turrets attacking me.

I need to know how to mess around with .FSB files, also I am open to alternative solutions to my problem, maybe there is a line I can add to game.cfg or something.

edit: I just downloaded a program fsbext and I managed to extract sound effects, my theories were right, Sona stuff is the heaviest (e.g sona_hymnofvalor_melody_5 is 370KB), I will now find a way to create a .FSB from these sounds but overwriting the heavy ones with Ahri.ultimateeffort2 which is only 4KB

texts: Destiny 2 Eater of Worlds with 4 Players

texts:
3 of my mates and I (4 total) attempted the Eater of Worlds raid lair for the first time last night. From past Destiny experience and even looking online, just about all raids were possible with this count.

Though, it seems like the raid lair is forcing 6 players in the "reactor" room. The one with the purple water and the platforms. We figured out that we need to jump on each one at a time in a line, but after getting to the 5th- 6th platform, no more will appear. The very first platform will turn red and eventually go down. By doing a bunch of jumping around, we can occasionally get 1 more platform to come up. Regardless, we cannot proceed past this point.

I looked up several guides, and not a single one discussed player count requirements or how to get past this with less than a full party. As well, we have been sure to follow the guides exactly as described.

Is this just a case where we absolutely have to have 6 players? Anyone have experience trying this with fewer players?

texts: Sometimes when I spawn I float in to air. It has happened several times. Does anyone know why this bug happens?


texts:
The SetDef A-Jak is pretty fast at turning, so after you get behind them it can be difficult to stay behind them, at least without boosting. When I boost behind them, I release the movement keys and start drifting past the engines. I use this opportunity for a fly-by attack on them, but it'd be even better if I could stop drifting and stay behind the engines to get a more stable aim.

After doing some analysis of drifting, it seems that when I stop accelerating/decelerating, the Jackal drifts, but when I'm accelerating forward/backward all drift is immediately suspended. By that I mean the Jackal immediately goes in the direction it's pointing, and the drift starts decaying in the background: if I accelerate only for a short amount of time and then stop, the drift in the original direction (not where I'm pointing anymore) continues, and if I continue accelerating for longer than it takes for the original drift to decay, when I stop accelerating I'm not drifting in the old direction.

Accelerating towards/away from the engines of an A-Jak seems to keep me behind them instead of drifting away, but I'd like to know whether there are any other factors that affect drifting so that I can use them to my advantage as well -- IW has other hidden functionality (e.g. tapping boost while moving left/right causes the Jackal to do a quick dodge to the left/right), so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

*btw I have the relic that increases the drop rate by 5% so yeah...
*I'm playing on the PC doe, Steam.

On a side note/question:
In Normal Mode, is there anyway to increase the level of the Infinity Pistol that Doc Mercy Drops? I've been getting 7's and 6's.

texts: Is Mercy's out-of-combat regen different from shield?

texts: Mercy regenerates health, but only when she has been out-of-combat for a couple of seconds. The only other concept of regenerating health in the game is shield, which also seems to regenerate out-of-combat. Is Mercy's regen any different from shield? Or does Mercy practically just have 200 points of shield health?

I came across, during game play, some paintings. Most were with a painting inside, and you could jump through, Mario 64 style.

But I came across some empty paintings. I expect that I can unlock them, fill them in, and have access to a new boss/world through them.

For instance, in the moon church, there's a bowser painting, but in front of it there's an empty painting.

So How do I fill the empty paintings?

(Sorry if Paintings is not that descriptive, English is not my first language and I can't find what the damn word for the support around the painting.)

PS: Other question asks what they do, I ask how to unlock them. So yes, Heavily related; but No, not duplicate.


texts: Is it possible to swipe the Admin card correctly on the first try?

texts:
Whenever I get the Admin card task, I spend ages trying to swipe it. I think I'm starting to nail down the correct speed for scanning it, but even still it's very finnicky - the quickest success I've been able to get is after 5 tries.
I've just found this "glitch"?, which will give a quick success, but it requires one to quickly swipe the card repeatedly (rather than just once). I have also heard plenty of anecdotal evidence that it's possible, but nothing conclusive.
Is it actually possible to scan the card correctly on the first try? Or is there some sort of 'minimum tries needed' to be able to get a success?

texts: How do I hit the monster drum fill in Rob The Prez-O-Dent?

texts:
I come to you, sages of gaming.se, with a very large problem.

Day in, day out, I find myself stumped by a certain drum fill in the song Rob The Prez-O-Dent, found in the nightmarish depths of Rock Band 2's cave. The fill moves at inhuman speeds in spite of its massive size. I can only conclude that the fill...the fill is a monster.

A monster slaughtered during the 0:15-0:18 section of this video. That cry at the end could have only belonged to another of its kind, however, and so the video is useless to a human being.

I train hard, having brought the monster into practice mode and having worked up from 50% speed all the way to 80% speed. However, just as with the chorus of Guns of Summer, I am unable to understand the monstrous fill at 90%, and as a result, at...100%(I shudder at the very thought). Even if I could fully understand the appearance of the monster, to strike so fast with both my drumsticks and my right foot in such different ways seems incredibly difficult...I fear that in overcoming the monster, I may become the monster myself. Alas, I digress.

Can any of the sages here at gaming.se show me how I might overcome this challenge? Tell me of rudiments I should practice, rhythms I should tap out, or a secret weakness, such as a pattern, in the grotesque appearance of the monster fill?


texts:
I just happened to play Castle Crashers few days ago, thanks to the Steam summer sale. Anyway, I like the beat 'em up game-play and RPG like character building.

One question though: what's the best way to develop a Castle Crashers character? Does anyone try making their character fully magic (focusing on magic only, and other stats as balancing), or go fully rogue (speed focused, heavy using on arrows)?

I've been using wizard-like stats, and I'm being bullied by the second boss (large black creature that spawn smaller version of itself).

If the character has messed up stats, does any reset tool/item exist?

Does Steam prevent changes to game files? There are a lot of games that benefit from tweaking or third-party patches for performance improvements or to improve compatibility with newer hardware features. Does Steam lock down game files in such a way that make INI tweaks, DLL replacers, memory injection, executable wrappers, third-party patches, or other modding methods hard or impossible?

These sorts of hacks tend to be more common and more important for older games. It does seem like some tuning is possible, but that example is for a DOSBox-based emulated game, and I just don't know how much Steam will let you do to an old Windows game.

texts: How can I explode the truck in front of Diamond City entrance without turning people hostile?

texts:
I set myself a goal long ago when I started playing Fallout 4 vanilla that I would explode every vehicle and every explosive item on the map.

I have blown up canisters of gas.  I have blown up the small blue and red zip cars.  I have blown up pickups, vans, convertibles, big and small.  I have blown up trucks.  I have blown up things under water.  I have blown up unreachable vehicles on top of roads that you cant go to.

But what irks me the most is the truck in front of Diamond city.  I can't seem to find a way to blow it up without making the entire area hostile. I have timed it that every guard is away from the area and blown it up but still causing everyone to turn hostile.

Is there a way to blow it up without turning everyone hostile in that area?

texts:
In Heart of the Swarm, the Thor's Strike Cannon were removed, replaced by an ability called High-Impact Payload, which is supposed to be good against air units. But what are the details; I cannot find the numbers or good discussion of tactical advice for it.

Specifically:

Is High-Impact Payload better against all air units?
Can a Thor still attack ground units in this mode?
If you are under air attack, is it worth it to shift modes, or will the conversion time reduce any benefit of the High-Impact Payload? (Like Siege Tanks caught unsieged)


texts: How do I know how many more defenders are there in a city?

texts:
I've encountered something pretty bizarre in Civilization 6. It could even be a bug.

I surrounded a city with a really large number of archers. I pounded the city until both the progress bars at the top of the city turned empty.

All attacks on the city now show "Total city damage" as the predicted outcome of the battle before I launch the attack.

Yet, despite hitting the city with 10+ attacks every turn and each attack killing a defender, there still seem to be more defenders inside the city.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

texts: Dragon Age 2 Hawke dealing little to no damage

texts:
I have exactly the same problem as this and also tried this solution:

There is a good chance your Hawke doesnt have enough points invested in your main stat (warrior=str, mage=int, rogue=dex) which means your attack rating is too low.
I suspect if you turn on damage popups youll see that you're just hitting for 1-3 damage

So I need to raise your main stat to solve the damage-hitting-problem.
By testing if it had to do with too few points in my Hawke's main stat=Str.
But even when I used a trainer to try and solve the damage-hitting-problem by maximizing my strength stat to 100, he still wouldn't deal any damage (I know this for sure, because I had enabled the 'Show damage numbers' option).
Has adding more points to your main stat solve the problem for you? Because I can't solve it in any way :(
I want to finish the story (at least the first time) without cheating or that only Hawke's companions are able to fight and I have a useless main character :S


texts: How to retrieve an updated dataset from the D3 auction house?

texts:
Given I want to snatch a cheap item with defined preferred stats. Can I hit the Search button over and over again, or do I retrieve a cached version?

If there is a caching mechanism: Does changing stat values/types or max buyout slightly force a non cached request? What is being cached? When does the cache expire?

Is there a throttling mechanism in place, do they slow down a client which is constantly requesting results?

The reason behind this question is that cheap items will be bought out seconds later, and you really need to be very quick to get the item.

I know that only a Blizzard system designer can answer this question with 100 percent certainty, but I am interested in your observations, for me its a black box right now.

Own observation:
The Windows Resource Monitor shows network traffic for Diablo III.exe each time I hit the search button, implying there's no local caching going on.

texts: Is x9 in profits worth it if it takes half of my angels?

texts:
I am able to get the "Salivate-tion" angel upgrade on the Moon in adventure-capitalist which grants x9 to all profits.  Right now I would have to spend half of my angels to get this upgrade (500 quindecillion angels), but whether or not it is worth it seems like it should be true regardless of what the relative percentage of angels would be.  Correct?  My Bonus Per Angel is 11% so it should only take 81 angels (9/.11) to achieve a x9 upgrade.  So isn't it always a waste to buy these instead of letting the angels do their bonus?

Edit: I went ahead and did it!  I ended up with a net 4.9x increase after giving up 45% of my active angels.

It takes a while to get the companion perks, so I'd rather know what it actually does before I invest the time.

texts:
I'm trying to increase my resistance to Death Claws. Right now the balance is at a point where the DCs don't quite kill any of my Dwellers, but are able to get them to probably 10% health. They make it through three rooms with the most heavily armed Dwellers I have and then the DCs die.

One way to make sure my Dwellers survive is to maximize their health. I know that in order to reach maximum health you want to level up Endurance as early as possible. Another way to combat the DCs is to use powerful weapons, which I am collection through exploring as quickly as I can.

My main question is about various S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes and whether they have any effect during combat. The Perception training room is full of guns; does high Perception increase chance to hit? Does Strength act like Armour?

Obviously I would have every Dweller at full 10's across the board if I could. But since that takes way too long, what is actually going to help me during combat besides high health?

texts: Is Strength or Agility better for tanking?

texts:
My Warrior friend insists that Strength is the more important stat for tanks, but I'm a Death Knight and am not convinced.

The way I see it, Strength increases Parry, but Agility increases Dodge and Armor (not true, see answer). I'm not sure by how much, but it certainly feels like Agility should be strictly better for survivability. I'm not too concerned about threat, as I seem to be doing fine in that area.

I'm having difficulty finding good info online to say what each point of Strength/Agility actually does for me.

So how good is Agility relative to Strength? When the opportunity arises to choose, which should I pick? Furthermore, does it depend on class?


texts:
The in-game description of agility states that it increases the time it takes to perform certain movements, and searching around online it seems that it might increase invulnerability frames as well. I'm having trouble finding consistent information on exactly what actions agility affects, and how much time it reduces those actions by. I'm hesitant to start investing points into adaptability until I have a better idea how much of a benefit I'll gain from agility.

What actions does agility affect, and how much of an impact does it have on these actions?

texts: Bunnyhopping in quake: how does the movement model allow this?

texts:
I was watching this interesting video about bunnyhopping and speedrunning in Quake's E1m1:

I must confess I've never really understood how bunnyhopping works (in Quake, or any other game for that matter).

The video provides a few clues, such as:

Turning in a tight circle while strafing in the same direction provides additional speed
Zigzagging (rapidly pressing Strafe left and Strafe right) while going forward also provides additional speed
Jumping itself doesn't provide a speed boost, but rather preserves speed because there is no friction when you're airborne.

But these facts don't elucidate why bunnyhopping was possible in Quake, yet impossible in other games like Unreal.

How does the movement model of quake allow for the increase of player velocity through bunnyhopping and other techniques?

I am also interested in how bunnyhopping works in other games like Quake 2, Half-life and Half-life 2, but as I understand it, the movement models are slightly different, and so I'll limit this question to Quake.

I should also note that the Quake source code has been available since 1999, so this question ought to be perfectly answerable.

texts: Possible to bridge PS3 to use laptop and iPhone shared 3g connection

texts:
I am able to broadcast a wireless signal from my iPhone to my laptop using an ad-hoc network. Unfortunately, PS3 does not recognize ad-hoc networks so I am unable to use this wireless connection.

My initial attempt to connect was as follows:

Allow my Windows 7 laptop to connect to the internet using USB tether to my iPhone (with MyWi software). This works and does not use any wireless signal from my laptop itself. I then tried to bridge both the wireless and LAN connections to an ethernet connected PS3 but nothing seems to work. The connection to my PS3 comes in and out frequently as if it is trying to find an internet signal, fails, the disconnects.

Has anybody had luck with this in the past?


texts: As a Zeus, should I max Static Field or Arc Lightning after Lightning Bolt?

texts:
Consider the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: Zeus, level 11, level 4 Lightning Bolt, level 4 Arc Lightning, level 2 Thundergod's Wrath, level 1 Static Field.

Scenario 2: Zeus, level 11, level 4 Lightning Bolt, level 1 Arc Lightning, level 2 Thundergod's Wrath, level 4 Static Field.

In both scenarios, the only relevant item Zeus has is a Veil of Discord, so mana issues should not be considered.

Now mind the following case: A team fight is about to happen, there are 3 to 5 heroes of both teams that are going to participate in this teamfight, leaving the number of heroes of both teams participating even, which make us consider allied damage. Assuming that the enemy heroes are in the level range of 8 to 12, with an HP pool ranging from 850 to 1300, and that Zeus is always safe from disables, leaving him free to dish out his spells, which scenario does the most damage to the enemy heroes in the teamfight?

Things to consider: Your goal is to kill enemy heroes and deal heavy damage to every enemy hero present in the teamfight, so please assume Zeus initiates with Thundergod's Wrath, then proceeds to Lightning Bolt a target and spam Arc Lightning while Lightning Bolt is on cooldown. Also, the enemy heroes are always in range of Static Field and near each other to be hit by every Arc Lightning.

Answers with numerical explanations are preferred.

Note: The answer does not have to calculate Veil of Discord damage amplification. Nevertheless, answers with Veil of Discord damage amplification are welcome too.

Now this question may seem obvious, duh -- killstreaks that come one after another like UAV/Counter-UAV/Predator Missile -- but I am talking about sets of killstreaks that unlock each other while you lay around hiding somewhere - or at least work well enough on their own so you need to only get 1 or 2 kills to get the next killstreak. Right now I have Harrier Strike/Pavelow/AC-130 or Chopper Gunner (depending on map). Once I get my harrier I call it in, then go off somewhere safe for my Pavelow to be ready (I can sometimes get my Pavelow from the Harrier's strike, not even needing to wait for the 3rd harrier to start hovering).

Any other Killstreak combos that work well together?


texts: Can I safely complete all assignments after the final mission?

texts:
I'm currently working on my second playthrough of Mass Effect 2. In the first, I skipped the N7 and DLC assignments because I wanted to save them for my completionist playthrough (this one). I'm currently planning on doing them after I finish the final mission, however, I want to make sure that I'm not going to end up with any of them locked out or blocked because of changing circumstances after you finish the main story.

If I decide to wait to complete these assignments until after the going through the Omega 4 Relay and beating the final boss, will I still be able to complete them all?

texts: Cannot connect to my own dedicated Gmod server

texts:
I can open the console in Gmod and use the command connect to try to join "localhost", "127.0.0.1", and "{my_ip_address}". However, these all show me a dialog box that says "Connection failed after 4 retries".

I have my server installed on Ubuntu 13.04. I wrote a little startup script to optionally update the server and then call this line:

./$GMOD_DIR/srcds_run -game garrysmod +maxplayers $MAX_PLAYERS +map $MAP

Where $GMOD_DIR is ${SERVER}/gmod/, $MAX_PLAYERS is 4, and $MAP is gm_construct.

texts: How do I lower enemy health in a Dungeon Siege LAN game? (Without lowering difficulty.)

texts:
Recent I was playing a LAN game of the original Dungeon Siege with a group of 8 people. (maximum party size for the game) Some of the basic bad guys had upwards of 700 health, and as we progressed in the game, we were getting to guys with more than 3,000-4,000 health, and they took forever to kill.

Is there a way to lower the health of the monsters?  I realize that each added character in multiplayer adds health to the monsters, but 4,000 health on some of those guys really turns the game into a grind. (You know the enemies have too much life when you get your guy to fight one, go make a sandwich, eat it while you watch your guy hammer away...)

Is there a way to lower the monster health and increase their number or something instead?  (I would be happy with an answer that just helped me make them weaker.)  Lowering the difficulty seems to lower the treasure and XP values so much that you never find any good items, and never level up.  Plus the bad guys don't do as much damage either, so it goes back to being more of a grinder...)


texts: How do I help allies when they are stunned/asleep/paralyzed/etc?

texts:
In previous Monster Hunter Titles, there was usually a "special attack" that was really just a kick. The main use for this was helping allies out when they become "stuck".

However, in World... I've yet to figure out how to easily and quickly help out my allies in the same way. with 100+ hours in I think I would've found it if it exists, but nope...

I can still sometimes hit them with my weapon, as the "friendly fire" still exists, but even that has been incredibly toned down compared to other entries as well, so it's not as reliable as I'd like.

How do I perform the kick "attack" on command?

I recall in Warcraft III, there were different types of damage and armor, like "Piercing" and "Siege" or something.  If such a thing exists for StarCraft 2, it might be what I'm looking for.

texts: How do I survive as a Solo Elementalist?

texts:
I've been trying to play an Elementalist on the Crystal Desert server, and given the fact that the party system is bugged, more often than not, this means going solo, as my friends are elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I've been dying a lot, especially in my personal story. I've been bouncing back and forth between Dagger / Dagger and Staff, and finding neither option particularly amenable. Dagger/Dagger has no real way to avoid damage, as the best protection it offers are Chill, Weakness, and Stun, all of which only reduce the rate of damage, rather than prevent it from occuring (and the stun requires you to be hit in the first place!)

This results in many a time going toe-to-toe with a mob. If it's one vs. one, I can usually win, but I end the fight with half health (or less!) It seems to exist as a "Burst or be bursted" loadout, and I'm spending more time downed than I care to admit.

I've also tried Staff, but I'm finding that too far a swing in the opposite direction; I've got good avoidance and longevity (two heals from Water attunement, an extra dodge roll, etc.) but I have to stand there for ages, plinking the monster to death.

How can I strike a better balance between damage and survivability? Mobs seem to die equally fast (if not faster!) to my guardian, and she rarely takes any damage doing it! Are Solo elementalists simply unfeasible?

texts: Minecraft 1.12 Multiplayer world to singleplayer

texts:
I have a multiplayer server world that I run locally on my computer. I would like to copy that world into a single player save. Easy explanation.

Problem comes when I try copy and pasting the world; it gets the correct world but has not saved my player, specifically. I spawn in the world's original spawn, which is way too far from my server's spawn to reach, and I have no items. Is there a way to fix this loss of player data? I'm the only player that has logged into the multiplayer server so I'm the only player data present

Update:

The playerdata .dat file is there and it has my uuid in the name, with dashes. I have tried copying my world over directly, and I've also tried creating a world, entering the world once, and then replacing the folder contents with my world files. Both have the same result.

texts: CSGO - Discord - Twitch Studio problems: no overlay and impossible to capture only the game

texts:
I realized several months ago that my Discord overlay was not displaying when playing at CSGO.
I thought the problem was coming from Discord, so I tried a lot of things that I found on internet
(https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/discord-overlay-not-working.html)

Run Discord as Administrator
Reinstall Discord

But after that it was still not working.
Then I tried to stream my game, using Twitch Studio. I realized that it was impossible to select the "Full screen app" as a used to do in the past.
Those 2 problems made me think that the problem was coming from CSGO itself and not Discord or Twitch Studio.
I found that the stream problem was due to the recent update, because Valve tried to improve the anti-cheat system by forbidding any app to interact with CSGO. But launching the game with -untrusted or -allow-third-party-software would make the stream work but will prevent me to play on VAC servers (competitive matches).
Does somebody already has the same 2 problems and how did you fix it ?

My system specs are as follows:

CPU: AMD Phenom X4 - 2.4GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti (ASUS, Fermi)
RAM: 8GB DDR2
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit

The issue I'm experiencing is that whenever I play Skyrim, after only a few minutes, regardless of my in-game location, my CPU usage skyrockets all the way to 100% and stays there. The fan, of course, also runs at 100% when this happens. When I press Escape and leave the menu open for about 5 seconds, the CPU calms down. It seems the graphic settings are not my issue, as I've lowered my resolution as well as setting the game's settings to 'Low', with no change. I've also uninstalled all of my mods, and unchecked the Dawnguard DLC in the Data Files menu. No change. I also tried uninstalling patches all the way back to 1.1, and still nothing.

What can I do to fix this issue? It's keeping me from playing the game, as I'm 1) annoyed at the noise of the CPU fan when this occurs, 2) concerned about overheating my CPU and causing it damage.

texts: How can I bind my Steam game to my Ubisoft account?

texts:
I'd like to know if anyone knows how to bind my Steam purchased game to my Ubisoft account. We're talking about "South Park: The Stick of Truth" in this particular case.
Problem discription:
The thing is that unlike "South Park: The Fractured but Whole", "South Park: The Stick of Truth" doesn't let you call up the Ubisoft menu (Shift+F2) while in game. In fact it doesn't even require you to download Ubisoft launcher, thus binding your Steam-purchased copy to your Ubisoft account, even if they are linked.
I also have other games on Steam as well as EpicGames that are Ubisoft's production (that same mentioned above "South Park: The Fractured but Whole" f.e.), but all of them require Ubisoft launcher and immediately bind with my Ubisoft account upon installation and launch.
Results of my own efforts on the matter:
I've tried to search the net and StackExchange for answers, but so far I've not found any ways that can work in this case. I've also tried contacting Ubisoft support team, but they've simply said "NO", without even trying much, I assume.
This said, so far my best guess would be to find a CD key of the said game and use it in Ubisoft launcher in "Activate a key" directory. But neither in the Steam library nor in the Steam receipt I can find it (I've checked the options of the game in the library, there is no "CD keys" line, as suggested for other games). Regarding that I have another idea where it might happen to be - the game's files, but I don't know exactly where and how to search for it in them.

Unfortunately, he has become more powerful then me, and I can’t defeat him with PVP. But, he isn’t the smartest in recognizing traps that look like normal builds.

texts: Getting "free" reputation that's opposed to my alignment: good or bad?

texts:
In Mass Effect 2, certain actions will give you either Paragon or Renegade reputation. In conversations, there are often choices where you must choose whether to go for one or another, and it pays to put most of your eggs in one basket; but sometimes you have the opportunity to get "free" points  of the opposite alignment, such as when there's no option that gives you preferred points, so it's either get opposite points or get nothing.

Should I pursue these opportunities, will I get any benefits (e.g. some persuade/intimidate checks being easier than their counterparts or there not even being a counterpart option, being offered more missions) or disadvantages (e.g. people thinking I'm a bit of a bastard and changing their attitude in the long run, squad members denying their loyalty missions)?

I've just started playing Torchlight 2, and I'm playing over a LAN with a friend (we are about level 10 now). We are doing the same quests together and I'm wondering how the experience, gold and loot are split between the players.

Does each player earn the same amount of experience, apart of the number of mobs that each one kills? Do the monsters get stronger when there is more than one player in the world? Do we need to be close to each other to share experience? How the loot system work?


texts: How do you provide more workers to your city?

As you can see on the screenshot, most of my city consists of residential zones by now, but my jobs are constantly climbing.

How do I solve this situation?


texts: Is there a way to match multiple tags in a target selector?

texts:
While working on my answer to this question, I came across the situation where I'd like to match multiple scoreboard tags at once, i.e. do something like

/tell @a[tag=Great,tag=Awesome] You are a great and awesome person!

The above command does not work as intended (tested on snapshot 15w45a), since the second tag target selector argument overwrites the first (the same behavior as on every other argument). This means that simply awesome (but not great) persons are called awesome and great, rather than those that are both awesome and great!

Is there a way to include multiple tag matches into the same target selector?

I can't join any minecraft servers because it keeps saying 'Can't connect to server' at every server i have. I can go on internet like post this question here.
What's happening?


texts: Voting in TF2 opens an optimisation menu instead. How can I change this?

texts:
I'll be brief about this. Whenever a vote kick or vote change map comes out I press the voting keys (F2 and F3 I believe) so I press them, and it gives me an optimization menu.

How can I change this?


texts: What is the exact range of the Extra Utilities Magnum Torch?

texts:
All the various wikis give the range of the Magnum Torch from Extra Utilities as "a radius of 32 blocks".

What shape is that? Circular, Rhomboid, or Square?

In particular, if I make a grid of them, how far apart can they be?

I'm playing Agrarian Skies version v3.1.4 (MC v1.6.4) if versions matter.

I suspected that I had to go back and grab the rope:

But I cannot reach it.

Can you give me a clue?


texts: What is the effect of donating to Allied Supply Crates?

texts: In Dragon Age Origins, I've been recruiting factions and they now appear at my camp, along with Allied Supply Crates.  I'm aware that you get XP for donating, but aside from that am wondering what the benefit is of donating and indeed how much I should be donating to each faction?  Should I spend a while collecting materials for this, or am is as well simply skipping this?
