texts: Why can't I see any Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 servers in Gameranger?

texts:
I am having a problem seeing servers for NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. I click 'Join' in Gameranger, the game starts, I go to multiplayer->LAN games but there is no games created.

But in Game Ranger list I can see a few players playing, with green lights near their nicknames.
I also check public internet games - there also are no servers shown.

how do I fix this, what do I need to check?


texts:
I have seen this abbreviation multiple times in relation with computer games.

Take this sentence for example "It's interesting because people look back at our history and our franchises and see that we have some really iconic IPs."
(source). I've seen it in interviews with people from Telltale Games too.

So, any ideas what does it mean?


texts: How to micro with zerg (i.e. surrounding, kiting, & stationary unit demolitioning)?

texts:
Surrounding (speedlings)
What's the most efficient way to surround a kiting bio ball (i.e. marines, marauders, medivacs)?  Would I click far ahead of the group to force my speedling group to clump up, as opposed to lining out into a single file formation, then time the "stop" command?  How do I repatch my surround once I've halted the bio ball?  Right-click the center unit and click "hold-position"?  Assuming in this case I had banelings, would I move them in after the surround?

Kiting (roaches with speed)
What's the most efficient way to kite?  Right-click far ahead and hit "stop" or "hold position"?

Stationary unit demolitioning (mutalisks vs turrets)
What's the most efficient way to destroy stationary air defense with mutalisks? Stacking mutalisks with the patrol command, then moving barely into range and moving out of range (i.e. +7 mutalisks)?

texts: How to change a players game mode when crossing a threshold

texts:
I am running a vanilla Minecraft server on my Azure account and have an idea for it that I'm not sure is possible or not. Essentially I want to set up an area, something like 8x8 chunks that is designated as a creative area.

In order to achieve this I'm thinking that I will need at least one command block running constantly checking for players entering or exiting the area and adjusting their game mode accordingly. The problem I'm having is that I can't think of or find a way to reliably detect the threshold crossing, specifically for any height.

One potential solution I've come up with is to surround the creative chunks with barrier blocks to limit the ways in which the player can leave the area, but this is not ideal.

Bonus #1: If the player attempts to fly out of the creative zone it would be nice to also teleport them to the ground so they don't die when the game mode is switched.

Bonus #2: Can I have another set of command blocks that will store/restore a players inventory when crossing the threshold.

texts: What determines the quality of items in vending machines?

What are the factors that determine the quality of items you find in vending machines? Does your current level come in to it, or is it just determined by location (i.e. the further you are away from the starting point the better the items)?

Just wondering if it's worth looking through the items in the earlier vending machines, or if that's just a waste of time.

texts: How to build an effective card collection on Magic Online?

I just started playing Magic: The Gathering Online and was wondering what the best way to go about building a collection focused on being able to play and compete in multiple formats with the only limitations being my own skill.

texts: What to do with excess gold/elixir in the early game?

texts:
I started playing only a few days ago and still have about a day's worth of the newbie shield. I concentrated on upgrading my income while only upgrading my town hall if I absolutely had to. Since I'm not spending any money for gems, I currently have two builders.

I'm finding, now, that I'm generating more resources than I can hold and have lost some resources from a collector being full a time or two. Since my 2 builders are constantly upgrading something, it's difficult to sink excess resources into something productive (especially gold).

Since I'm at a level 3 town hall, the laboratory was a huge help for sinking excess elixir. What are the other constructive, builder-less things I could do with excess elixir/gold while preserving my shield?

Note: I'm open to changing tactics if I can more effectively manage the resources I'm generating.

texts: Why are some items marked Copying Prohibited?

texts:
In the PS3 Saved Data Utility, some data is marked as "Copying Prohibited".  This data comes with the following restrictions:

Can only be copied via PlayStation Plus Online Storage or the PS3 Backup Utility.
Cannot be copied to USB, outside of a full system backup.
If copied via full system backup, can only be restored to the same system.
If copied to PlayStation Plus Online Storage, cannot be downloaded to another system within 24 hours of the most recent upload.

I understand that some companies are really asinine about piracy issues and such, but the protection of saved game data (e.g.: player profiles, game status/progress, etc) seems just a little ridiculous on its face.  Beyond that, certain things that are copy protected strike me as odd in reflection of some other things that aren't.

Of the nearly 20 folders of data that I have, only 4 have any copy-protected data:

Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Sonic The Hedgehog 4
YouTube

The confusing bit centers around the Mass Effect titles.  All data in Mass Effect is copy protected, but in Mass Effect 2 only the Profile data is secured.  The saved games can be copied freely.

So, I'm curious to know what reasons (if any) are given for copy protecting some data but not others?  Based on my data, it seems relatively few games are using this and some that do are making odd choices as to what should be protected.  Is there an official answer for this?

texts: How do I improve my gameplay in turn-based strategy games, given that they tend to be difficult?

texts:
TL;DR: Turn-based strategy games tend to be designed for high difficulty.  As a less experienced gamer, how do I improve my gameplay in TBS games to meet these high standards?

I've been playing Fire Emblem Awakening for quite some time, and I've finished the game at Normal/Classic without excessive difficulty and without losing any units.  I'm now playing at Hard/Casual, and I'm starting to have trouble—I'm losing units almost every battle, and while Casual mode limits the impact of these losses to the current battle, I feel like I'm doing things wrong.  (Note that I am relying on pairing up considerably, I do check enemy movement and attack power to control casualties, and I do try to sequence moves so that attacks bring down enemy units as efficiently as possible.  I have the EXPonential Growth and The Golden Gaffe DLC packs, but I'm trying to rely on them as little as possible.)

The Fire Emblem franchise has had a very high difficulty throughout most of its history.  While recent titles have offered lower difficulty options, the high difficulty of many of these games has been well accepted, at least in Japan.  A large portion of the Fire Emblem community, from what I can tell reading forum posts online, plays Awakening at difficulty levels higher than Normal, and Casual mode is strongly frowned upon.

This isn't limited to Fire Emblem.  Other turn-based strategy games, like Battle For Wesnoth and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, tend to be designed for high difficulty (though to a lesser extent with Wesnoth).

This leads me to believe that my skill is not up to the standards historically set by TBS games and the community of players who play them.

So, in the spirit of this question, as a less experienced gamer, how do I improve my gameplay in turn-based strategy games?  While an answer related to Fire Emblem Awakening is most relevant to me, I'd like to have tips that apply to TBS games in general.

texts:
From what I understand in the question How can I get workers to commute from other cities? region play is still unstable, but commuting in particular seems very disjointed. Take one of my regions  with 3 cities connected by road/bus, rail, and ferry for instance.

Industrial city
Hybrid Residential/Commercial city
Residential city

The industrial city has 5 ferry terminals and takes in about 14k commuters from the commercial city, mostly via ferry. it still lacks about 12k workers.
The commercial city is at around 100% employment with few commuting out which makes no sense. High ferry and rail usage but mostly from shoppers.
The residential city is plagued by unemployment, but somehow has reached a high population and does not suffer from massive lack of money. Little rail and almost no ferry usage.

I feel like some elements of region play are working in the backend, but the frontend does not properly display what the back is doing. Can anyone clarify how commuting really works?

texts: Does the Groomed to Rule lifestyle only get applied to children born after I take the perk?

texts:
The Groomed to Rule perk gives all of my children 1-3 skill points. One thing I'm not sure of from the text is if this is applied to all of my children, or only to those born after I take the perk. If it's only to those born after I take the perk it's fairly useless to me, since I already have quite a few children, so I'd rather not waste the perk point on it.

Is groomed to rule applied to all children, or just to those born after I unlock  the perk?

texts: How Does Making a Skill Legendary Affect Spells?

texts:
I'm at level 67 and I have a couple skills at 100, so I'm considering whether to make one legendary to improve leveling. But I'm not sure how making Alteration, Illusion or Destruction legendary would affect my spells. Will I lose my more powerful spells when my skill level resets?

For example, Fireball is an adept level Destruction spell, available at Destruction 40. If you reset Destruction to 15 after learning Fireball, do you:

Forget Fireball and have to buy it again?
Keep Fireball, but have to get back to Destruction 40 to use it?
Use Fireball, but do less damage or pay a higher magicka cost?
Use Fireball as normal?

One webpage I found suggested that casting master-level Destruction spells after making Destruction legendary allows fast leveling, which suggests that either #3 or #4 is true, but I couldn't find anything that definitely stated this was true. Can anyone confirm? Also, from the wiki descriptions and answers here on Arqade, I know I have to reassign perk points, and won't be able to buy high-level perks in legendary skills until I build my skill back up. So, I'm guessing I won't have the stagger effect of dual-cast Fireball and will have to pay more to cast it. Also true?

Should I just avoid making a crucial skill legendary and go with something safer, like Alteration or maybe Smithing, which is also 100?


texts: Is it possible for a Jumping Puzzle / Dive to be Bugged in a subset of Servers?

texts:
I just changed servers on GuildWars 2 from "Anvil Rock" (US) to "Ruins of Surnia" (EU) because Anvil Rock is full, and I have 5 friends that recently bought the game.

Even though I know that they could eventually be able to join the "full" server by simply trying periodically, that would be a lot, so I decided to migrate to a non full server.

As I am an achievement hunter, I decided to try with my "newbie" friends, the Wayfarer Foothills Jumping Puzzle, which I've had done before with the character I was logged in.  After finishing the puzzle, there was a chest, but none of my two friends had their achievements (I wouldn't anyway since I had it already).

Later on that same day, I've found a pair of Diving Goggles on Metrica Province, but after putting them on and jumping of the Waterfall, there was no achievement message, so I kept trying it from different spots but nothing happened.

After a quick research I've found another Diving spot on Metrica Province, so I went for there, and there was no Goggles where they should be.

It may be a coincidence since I haven't tried any other challenge so far, but three out of three haven't worked in different forms.

Tech / Developer Perspective:

@Derp: Believe me, I'm a developer, so I know what bad code may cause :]
The thing is that, depending on their replication logic, theoretically, every server should point to the same "Image" of the game, launching it and so, leading to the same "game code" running on every server. Also, fixing a single point of code, should fix the bug in every server. That's why I am asking, is it possible that they are not using the same "code" for all servers ?

Thanks in advance

texts:
All of this is necessarily excluding someone just going into a temple for the item and leaving immediately without beating it.

The vanilla Ocarina of Time gives you some choice after the Forest Temple. You can do the Fire Temple and Water Temple in either order. Then, after you've done both of those, you can do the Spirit and Shadow Temples in either order.

Does Master Quest change or limit this freedom? Like, does the redesigned Spirit Temple have anywhere that explicitly requires the Hover Boots? Or, likewise for the Shadow Temple and the Silver Gauntlets, Water Temple and Megaton Hammer, or Fire Temple and Longshot?

texts:
I occasionally have Endermen teleport into my mines, creating the possibility that they may move a block of dirt or gravel and inadvertently open up holes for monsters to spill through, ruining the relative safety of my dig sites. As such, I have taken to sealing my mine walls by removing dirt and gravel and replacing it with spare cobblestone.

Unfortunately, I happened to notice an Enderman in what I thought was a dirt-and-gravel-free mine branch wandering around with a block of dirt. Either I failed to replace some dirt (which he subsequently moved) or he picked it up somewhere else and teleported in with it.

Is the second explanation possible? Can Endermen teleport while carrying a block?

I had an awesome double kill when I was playing as Pyro tonight;

I wanted to set it up so that first you had the first-person-view, (of me) and then you had a 3rd person view of the area the fight was taking place in.

I got two separate "takes", one from each perspective, but I can't seem to figure out how to append the one to the other. Is this possible to do within TF2 itself?

Otherwise, it looks like I might have to create a movie from both takes and then use some video editing software to stitch them together outside of the game itself (which would be hard for me, as I lack video editing software).

Is there a way to combine multiple takes in a TF2 Replay?

I checked the wiki to make sure it was the stick, and it wasn't just mole rats that explode, but the wiki insists it really is just mole rats that explode when hit with the Repellant Stick. Is my game being retarded or am I just getting the weirdest luck with my explosion perk?

  If the player starts a new game on a memory card with the mission Rumble completed, the Purple Nines, who are wiped out in that mission, will not spawn in the new game due to a programming oversight. This will make it impossible to complete Uzi Money and subsequent D-Ice missions, as killing Purple Nines gang members is the objective of these missions.

texts:
This is my first playthrough and having experience with RPGs I want to play a "pure" build in my first playthough. It's gonna be a thief. I realize you can benefit (greatly in some cases) from some warrior/mage skills which is why I would like to know how necessary especially blacksmithing, enchanting and illusion are for a thief and in what order I should learn them.

I have no idea how tight perk points are in the late game and if it's possible to max out all thief skills and still invest points in aforementioned non thief skills.

Regarding blacksmithing/enchanting: Isn't the optimum thief gear stuff you get from quests (Thief guild, Dark Brotherhood)?

Regarding illusion: Doesn't the Shadow Warrior perk in the sneak tree let you escape from sticky situations?

two large buttons left of monitor: upper triggers shield, lower s-foils between battle and fligth
right of the monitors a single button next to schematics changes laser configuration (4 simlutanuous, two at a time, one per shot)
about 90° to the right, group of two buttons - the one with label triggers the "trench run scope"

          ^
          |

just to make sure that the blue Waldo runs first.

What are more elegant options for synchronizing the Waldos?


texts: Recover missing profile in Scott Pilgrim vs The World

texts:
I had two profiles with Scott Pilgrim save data before I lost my first PS3, which I (thought I) restored to my new PS3 via a backup. However, since the Wallace update, when I go to try and play the game again I only get the option to play as the "Guest" profile, which cannot save data. My main profile (which is connected to a PSN account and owned my old play data) is not accessible at all. I created 2 new profiles and these profiles show up alongside Guest (and presumably can actually save their data).

Is there any way to allow my main account to create save data for this game again, ideally recovering the save data I seem to have lost?

Edit:  The UserKeyMappings line in XuserOptions.ini is apparently base64 encoded.  I believe that if I can just decode it, edit it, and encode it back that I might be able to get this to work.  I've tried several online decoders, but they don't seem to decode the entire string.  Here's mine if anyone wants to try:

texts: Can you have both Attribute modifiers and displays on an item?

texts:
I'm making an adventure map where I have a Villager "merchant" that sells custom armour for the price of a custom currency (All of this works fine. In a previous arqade question (You can see it here) I had a problem with this but it works like a charm) I wanted to add another feature to this armour now that i have the villager working. Lone behold, I have yet another issue. I have tried fiddling around with tags and formatting. Nothing seems to be able to allow me to have a villager that sells a custom named item that also has it's own modified attributes. It seems I can only have the item to have a custom attribute (but no custom display) or a custom display (but no custom attributes) My current command displays a custom name and lore but has no attributes:

/summon villager ~ ~1 ~
{
CustomName:"Lv.1 Gear Merchant"
,CustomNameVisible:1b
,NoAI:1b
,Invulnerable:1b
,Offers:
{
Recipes:
[
{
buy:
{
id:"minecraft:gold_nugget"
,tag:
{
display:
{
Name:"Gold Coin"
,Lore:
[
"$1"
]
}
}
,Count:32
}
,sell:
{
id:"minecraft:leather_chestplate"
,tag:
{
display:
{
Name:"Shoddy Leather Jacket"
,Lore:
[
"Lv.1"
]
}
}
,Count:1
}
,tag:
{
AttributeModifiers:
[
{
AttributeName:generic.maxHealth
,Amount:1
,Operation:0
,Name:Health+
,UUIDLeast:999
,UUIDMost:999
,Slot:"chest"
}
]
}
,maxUses:9999999
}
]
}
}

Again in this draft I have no errors, it just doesn't seem to want to apply my attribute changes. I created another draft that seemed to result in the exact opposite. The command:

/summon villager ~ ~1 ~
{
CustomName:"Lv.1 Gear Merchant"
,CustomNameVisible:1b
,NoAI:1b
,Invulnerable:1b
,Offers:
{
Recipes:
[
{
buy:
{
id:"minecraft:gold_nugget"
,tag:
{
display:
{
Name:"Gold Coin"
,Lore:
[
"$1"
]
}
}
,Count:32
}
,sell:
{id:"minecraft:leather_chestplate"
,tag:
{
AttributeModifiers:
[
{
AttributeName:generic.maxHealth
,Amount:1
,Operation:0
,Name:Health+
,UUIDLeast:999
,UUIDMost:999
,Slot:"chest"
}
]
}
,display:
{
Name:"Shoddy Leather Jacket"
,Lore:
[
"Lv.1"
]
}
,Count:1
}
,maxUses:9999999
}
]
}
}

Now the health is working but the display is kaputz. This feels like a game of whack-a-mole that's making me pretty TRIGGERED. Anyways, I suck at commands and hopefully with the help of anyone who sees this, I can learn. Thanks.

Today I was working on a "Smoke Bomb" in Minecraft. It's basically just a lingering potion that has blindness on it. Here's the command I came up with:

But when I put it into a command block, it gives me this:

Which is the missing texture block. Why is that command giving me a lingering potion with no texture?
UPDATE: The potion part of the command works well. It's just that the texture is missing.


texts: Who's in charge? I want to fart on some authority figures to speak truth to power

texts:
Working on rounding out my accumulation of achievements, it seems that I may have been insufficiently diligent in my quest to fart on everyone in South Park. I say this because I've finished the game, but have not earned the Truth to Power achievement.

I'm not sure who I'm supposed to fart on for this achievement, because I've not earned it and I just did a loop, farting on all of the members of the PTA and school staff, Officer Barbrady, the Mayor, Wendy, Jesus, the Mountie guarding the border, Ike, the Prince of Canada, the Earl of Winnipeg, the Bishop of Banff, and the Duke of Vancouver. I even farted on Kyle and Cartman at their respective seats of power.

I am running out of people in positions of power to fart on. I've already resorted to several rather precarious leaps of logic without success.

texts: How can a deaf player detect where monsters and caves are?

texts:
I see all the time that the recommended ways to mine is to dig deep and listen out for the sounds of monsters in caves.

My niece is deaf, and whilst she loves the building aspect of the game, tasks like "finding caves" or "knowing a monster is behind you" are obviously more difficult.

Are there any settings or mods that can be used to give a visual indication that the player is in the vicinity of mobs? Especially something showing the direction the sound is coming from.


texts: What's the wizard's main strength (or role)?

texts:
While there is no strong "role" for classes in Diablo 3, you can't deny that each of them is especially good at something.  The barbarian can receive a lot of damage (tank), the demon hunter can perform long range attacks (archer) and the witch doctor summons lots of minions (necro).

Wizards and monks purposes are less obvious to me.  I thought that the wizard's main strength would be the ability to deal lots of damages (either with area damages spells, or simply with high damages spells).  I've been playing Diablo 3 with two friends from the beginning, and their monk and demon hunter seem to kill mobs as fast as I do.  Moreover, they have a far better vitality.

We have the same kind of stuff and the same level.  I maxed my intelligence with the gems system; also I tried several sets of spells and runes.  Am I missing something ?


texts: I plan on using the firewood as the primary trading currency, and for this I need logs. Lots of them. But as the seasons progress, I have noticed that a Forester's lodge, which usually produces around 200-300 logs per season (with 4 workers) in the initial stage, reduces to less than 150 in some of the seasons (even though there are a lot of mature trees left in the lodge's range). Is this a bug or am I missing something?

texts:
In Wasteland 2, the description for the luck attribute mentions that lucky characters are likely to find better loot. Is this actually true? Has anyone actually tested this or confirmed with the devs?

I do know of at least one other attribute that has a description full of lies: coordination does not actually affect the ability to pick locks or crack safes etc. in any way.

A preliminary look around the forums and community website turned up the usual threads with completely contradictory viewpoints:

1, in which everyone reports anecdotally seeing more loot from high luck looters, except for the last poster, who dismisses this entirely based on their own testing
2, in which more anecdotal evidence of Scotchmo being better at looting stuff surfaces
3, in which people are skeptical that there is any relationship
etc., etc.

Are there any downfalls to leaving this request unauthorized?

texts: Livestream no longer working on Black Ops 2 on PS3

texts:
My livestream on Black Ops 2 for PS3 is no longer working. I tried to livestream, it allowed me to for short periods of time for like two days. Now whenever I try to, it doesn't let me at all. Both my Youtube and Twitch accounts are connected, I've tried streaming on League Play and Public match, I've reset my router and PS3, I have the correct MBPS speed to be able to livestream (I have checked via SpeedTest)... Nothing will work! It let me before perfectly fine but now the "ON | OFF" switch doesn't do anything, it won't even turn on and give me an error, it just doesn't move, as if none of my accounts are connected. Speaking of, I have unlinked and reconnected them, too! It's quite irritating since it was just working the other day.

People have said it might be because so many people are on... or you have to have a certain number of subscribers on Youtube, etc. That isn't a problem. I've got 100+ subscribers on my Youtube, and like I said I have streamed before about 2 weeks ago with no problem! I don't know what to do and I just wanna stream. :( If anyone can help or has any suggestions, please let me know!

texts: Second Nether portal links back to original portal location in the Overworld

texts:
I built a Nether portal in a village and one near spawn. The portals are about 5k blocks apart from each other. But if I go through to village portal, it takes me back to the main spawn portal instead of creating another one in the nether.

I understand how portal linking works, I calculated the distance, and instead of the portal taking me into the exact same spot in the Overworld that I calculated, it just takes me back to the spawn portal.

This server has no plugins. Would a plugin solve this? Or is there another way I can get this to work?

Replaces the empty space where the stone was destroyed with another stone block from a generator.

I've tried using simple stone generator and block switcher mechanisms, but they always replace the empty space where the stone was with a piston head. Is there a different block switcher that doesn't do that, or is there a better way to create the same effect?

I checked in the Stats area of the Sanctuary, but that was less than helpful as well.

Take a game like GTA IV. Why don't they give the same rating for playing on-line?

The online play is as violent as the offline play. I could understand a lower rating if you can't visit prostitutes and nude dancers in online mode. (I don't know if these "features" are accessible online.)

Take a game like Modern Warfare 2. There's no difference between playing online and playing offline. In my opinion, this game should be rated offline and online with the same rating.

Not that I'm not criticizing the violence in the game. I just want to understand why online gaming is not rated.

texts: How to get rid of "Fancy vs Nasty" models/icons in Team Fortress 2?

texts:
When the "Fancy vs Nasty" update went online I downloaded and installed nearly all of the models (weapons and hats) available. Now that "Australian Christmas" update brought most of the items into the game it's getting a little bit anoying. While examining backpack I see pretty much the same icon for axtinguisher and backscratcher, frying pan and equalizer and so on. There is no problem in the game itself, but I suspect that this is because most servers out there force only "pure" models. The files are probably still there. I deleted all game content and redownloaded it again, just to be sure, but to my surprise it didn't help.

So my question is: how to get rid of all the "Fancy vs Nasty" update models/icons?

texts: What does the "Portal funnel" option do?

texts:
In Portal, there's an in-game option called "Portal funnel" with a painfully simple description:

  The computer helps you aim into floor portals.

I don't understand what this is supposed to mean. Does "aim" refer to the portal gun crosshair? No, turning it off doesn't disable the crosshair. Why would I "aim into floor portals"? I can't shoot a portal into an area if it's already occupied by the other portal.

As I toggle it on and off while playing through the game, I don't notice anything different, so what really is this meant to do?

It should be noted that this option is completely absent in Portal 2. I'm assuming it's enabled by default somehow, since it's also on by default in the first Portal and they pretty much use the same portaling engine (and the same portal gun).

texts: What does the black money bag icon that rotates over buildings in Tropico 3 mean?


texts:
I am playing a stealth archer character and I started to check on the weapons weights which led me to start wondering about how the weight of a bow matters.

Overview of the Drawing Process

Draw Speed:

Firing a bow has three stages:

Nock the arrow.
Draw the bow.
Loose the arrow and recoil.

The nock stage appears to take about 0.4s and the recoil stage about 0.6s regardless of bow or perks. The time required for a full draw varies, however--heavier bows take longer to draw, and the Quick Shot perk increases the draw speed.

Pros of a Lightweight Bow

Faster draw speed
Higher DPS for top smithing quality and enchantments
Hit effects applied more often
Arrow bonus damage
Smithing bonus damage
Weapon enchantment effects
Power Shot, Bullseye effects
Less overkill wastage on average
Less weight to carry around
Easier/cheaper to find/make

Pros of a Heavyweight Bow

Higher damage
Higher DPS with poor to moderate smithing quality and enchantments
Fewer resources consumed
Arrows
Weapon enchantment charges
Aim time
Zoom stamina
Higher first-shot damage (e.g. sneak attacks)

So, what would be the better option? I like to shoot things fast.

Should I choose the Glass Bow upgraded with smithing as my best option or Nightingale Bow?

How do I move a massive amount of goods from my stockpiles to the trade depot? I've set it up so that my craftsdwarf does absolutely nothing but produce stone crafts, and now I have an obscene amount of the stuff I need to get rid of.

texts: Is it possible for a non-lord to take a lord hostage?

texts:
The King of Sweden went missing.

None of the other lords knows where the heck he is.  I've gone and scouted every town and castle of the enemy faction and did not see him in any of the jails.  I've also scouted as many enemy lords as I can find and did not see him there either.

The only thing left I can think of is if he went and lost to some stupid bandits or enemy scouts and they're dragging him around somewhere.  Is this possible?

Are night vision goggles in the DayZ Standalone game?

I am trying to figure out how careful I need to be at night - if everyone is on the same level of vision unless they use a flashlight, I'd be less worried than if there's a chance there is someone out there with NV goggles who can see me clearly.

I searched the forums and couldn't find any comments addressing these in particular.

texts: How to transfer save files, not the game itself on steam

texts: So I recently just bought a PC to replace my Mac. I know I can copy the game itself onto a flash drive and spare myself the download time but my flash drive isn't big enough. I can download the games again if needed. What I'm concerned about are the specific save files on my computer. My progress in games like Hotline Miami, Papers Please, Plague Inc. etc. Is there a way to transfer the save files and not the game itself?


texts: Can you increase Deceive's Critical Damage (Shaco)?

texts:
I am interested in playing Shaco but have a fundamental question.

Does the critical damage from Shaco's Deceive ability benefit from Infinity Edge or +Crit Damage Runes?

The reason I ask is his ability is phrased thusly:

  Deceive - Shaco stealths himself instantly and teleports to target location. His next attack is guaranteed to critically strike.
  Shaco instantly stealths for 3.5 seconds, and teleports to target nearby location. If he attacks while stealthed, the attack is guaranteed to crit for 40/60/80/100/120% bonus physical damage.

It seems counter intuitive to have the damage be called both critical and bonus damage and increase as the ability is leveled up.

I pose the following scenario:
Shaco with level 5 Deceive and Infinity Edge. We will assume he is doing a total of 100 damage to make the analysis easy. On attack after using Deceive will The attack deal 220 Damage (100 base + 120 from deceive) OR will the attack deal 270 damage (100 base + 120 from Deceive + 50 from Infinity Edge). If neither of the above scenarios are correct please enlighten me as I may be misunderstanding the interaction Infinity Edge has with base attacks compared to base attacks modified by abilities.

Edit: The following link may be helpful but they didn't really clarify as there may be a discrepancy between the European and US regions. Shaco, Deceive and Crit Damage Runes (EU)


texts: Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls NPC conversation / dialogue resetting after starting new game

texts:
Note: Sadly, it seems like this is an old bug, dating back at least to 2014, possibly even to 2012.
If you are experiencing this bug, please report it! Hopefully, we will get it fixed soon.

The problem

The NPC conversations / dialogue is resetting every time a new game is started (both on Campaign and in Story mode). This is indicated by the blue asterisk reappearing over most (but not always all) NPCs after going through their dialogues.

A select few dialogues are not resettled. The current state of the game / Passing game checkpoints seems to have something to do with this (needs to be confirmed).
This problem occurs for all my characters (season and non-season). It has however been reported that this bug may only be present for some characters. Old characters may be less likely to have this bug (needs to be confirmed).
It has been hypothesised that it could have something to do with some local files (temp/cache) getting cleared or being corrupted (needs to be confirmed).
Conversations are getting ticked off in the achievements section.

Example

I start act 5, kill the Death Maiden and go to the Survivor's Enclave for the first time.
I then klick on all new dialogues, restart the game.

After restarting, all (or most of) the asterisks are back (Tyrael's and  Lorath Nahr's asterisks are not back in this particular case).

Does anyone have any idea of what could be the problem?

If so, is there any temporary fix while waiting for this bug to be fixed?

This bug is especially frustrating in Adventure mode since you restart so often. Each time you start a new game, Tyrael and Orek have their introduction dialogues reset, and after completing a Greater Rift Urshi treats's me as if this is my first completion.

It is not game-breaking, but it is incredibly frustrating. I don't want to click on the dialogues and then cancel them all, on all NPCs, every time I start a new game, to get rid of the asterisks. Nowadays I just leave the asterisk there and check for new dialogues from time to time, but this is not a satisfying solution.

The same is happening to my friend who just bought the game. We both installed the game recently, although I played some D3 vanilla just after release without any problems.

  My system specs:

  Asus ZenBook UX305 FA
  Windows 10 64-bit
  Intel Core M-5Y10c
  8 GB RAM

  My friend's system specs:

  Asus ZenBook UX303 UB
  Windows 10 64-bit
  Intel Core i7-6500U
  8 GB RAM

  Both are running Diablo 3: RoS, build v2.4.2.39192

texts: I think someone cloned A. Patterson in Tiny Tower

texts: I have two people named A. Patterson living in my tower, but it would seem they're listed as one person. The bitizen count in the corner also seems to think they're one person, and they can't be  separated. They're always listed in the same slot (apartments, jobs, etc.) and they have the workload of one bitizen. They wear the same clothes (they can both walk around) and as much as I'm sure this is just a glitch in the way bitizens are organized, I'd like it to be fixed.


texts:
I was playing a game not too long ago and our mid player got completely destroyed. He was accusing the other player of scripting. Maybe he was wrong and just a sore loser, but it's not the first time I hear this.

What is scripting?

It seems to be an automation system to improve your damage output through cheating, perhaps also to dodge skillshot.

What do scripts do? Are there many different types?

How is Riot not detecting this kind of "script"?


texts: Using XBox controller on Windows 10 (Far Cry 4)

texts:
My question may sound simple but I've been struggling since a long time and I have no idea why it is so difficult.
I have a wireless XBox controller, I have no problem pairing it with my laptop.
Then I open Far Cry 4 and it seems the buttons Y X A B have been replacing the left stick even though I'm not so sure about that. The rest of the buttons have no effect whatsoever, and sometimes virtually no buttons are doing anything.
I've been trying to download many software/drivers but nothing is working.


texts: What is the exact spawning area of an iron golem within a village?

texts:
I have created an artificial village and I know its center point.
In the minecraft wiki, I find this information about the spawing area of iron golems within a village:

  The golem spawning zone is a 16×16×6 area centered around the center point of the village.

Village mechanics wiki article

However, it is not clear to me where exactly this area is.
The village center point is, as I understand, a coordinate like block has. But a 16x16x6 volume does not contain a center block.

In the following image, which colored pixel would be the village center? (view from top on the left, view from the side on the right)

Or am I totally wrong and the area is distributed around the center point like in the following image? (again, view from top on the left, view from the side on the right)


texts: How do I guard a worker or settler in Civilization V?

texts: In Civ V you can't have two military units on top of each other, but it's ok to have a military unit in the same hex as a worker or settler to guard them. The thing is, I have to move the settler and the military unit separately and make sure they end up on the same hex every turn. Is there a way to automatically group them together, so that I don't accidentally leave my settler or worker unguarded?


texts: Sometimes I've had industries go away - notably oil rigs but sometimes forests or coal mines. I thought it had something to do with proximity to a city but I have some urban forests (ha!) that are still holding up pretty well in 2240. I also thought it might have to do with the transportation percentage, but I always had a decent percentage (>~50%) on the oil rigs and that seemed to make no difference.

Assuming I don't want to save them for a potential next character, and I have no other reason to hang on to them. What is the best way to dispose of them to make the most out of them?

Would it be better to sell them to the merchant, break them down for crafting components, or something else? I have not yet found any great advantage to the Blacksmith, but I hear he can be quite profitable by level 10.

texts: Is the skill check for axii static in conversations?

texts:
I have been playing for a while now, but I'm not sure how the skill check with axii in conversation works. The description for the delusion skill says

  Also increases the effectiveness of Axii in dialogues.

Does this mean that I will always succeed with axii against weaker opponents, or that I only have a higher chance of succeeding? That would mean that there is a chance of failure even against the weaker opponents.

I'm not that far in the game so I haven't encountered (in my opinion) strong willed characters that had the option available during a conversation so I could test this. With one point in delusion the skill seems to always work against the thug outside the first tavern in White Orchard.

Wiki articles, like Configure views in FlightGear contain XML markup, so must refer to hacking flightgear instead of using it (and, of course, fail to mention that at the beginning together with a link to a usage article).

Other findable articles cover experimental camera add-ons, like http://wiki.flightgear.org/FGCamera.


texts: Is there any paid weapon DLC in Killing Floor 2?

texts: The original Killing Floor has some paid weapon DLC available, but all maps were free. Do all players have access to all weapons in KF2?


texts:
The ability description reads:

  You can 'purchase' items from the store for as cheap as free. Don't let Brax catch you at it though, or he'll send his Dread Collectors after you.

The wiki agrees:

  Five-Finger Discount allows you to steal an item from Brax's shop by destroying the pedestal below it. Brax might notice you and turn hostile, which more likely than not leads to Fun.

OK... so how does this skill actually work? Is it just a random dice roll to see if Brax notices me or not? Or is there something specific I can do to assure success? What happens if I stand in a location which Brax cannot see (is there such a location in shops)?

In Guitar Hero, I can press a button to activate it, but that's apparently not the case in Rock Band.

Anyone have any bright ideas for a more foolproof method?

texts: How to complete "Bankrupt" objective, running without getting coins?

texts: The December 2014 Temple Run 2 update included the "Bankrupt" objective, which is to run 2000m without any coins.  This is a harder version of the earlier related ones (Stingy- 250m, Miser 500m, Allergic to Gold 1000m) and with the longer distance is much harder.  There is a good chance with the longer distance of getting into Narrows, Mine Tunnels, Waterslides, or sections where the path has fallen away and it is too narrow to avoid the coins.  What are some good methods for completing this objective?

I've been searching all over the internet for help and the things I found didn't work, like toggling capes on in the video settings. one website said I should change my optifine cape and it might work but when I DO try to change my cape on the optifine website it says that the password is invalid even though I know with 100% certainty that the password is correct, I even went to my email and found the email receipt I got for the payment going through and I checked my bank account and saw that the money had come out so I definitely paid for it. the optifine website doesn't specify whether it needs my Minecraft password or my email password either btw and I tried both passwords and it was STILL invalid.

I wonder which spells are not impaired?

AFAIK it doesn’t reduce the effect of instant casts. Is this correct?
Bubbles are probably not affected
What about self buffs and/or conc buffs? Or buffs like damage shield, PoM/PoT, damage add?
What about HoT (Heal over Time)?
What about casting pets while MoC is active? Differences between Theurgist’s temporary pets and permanent pets (Enchanter etc.)? Any special rules for Animist’s mushrooms?

It begs the question; can these gunships be destroyed completely? I have not had the opportunity to play a character with the potential damage output to do so (Bastion), so I'm not too sure.

texts: Battlefield 3: Is there any way to set up a key binding so that when entering a vehicle you go directly to the second seat?

texts:
This would prevent some awkward moments getting in and out of tanks, like when both driver and gunner get out to repair at the same time.

Edit: To clarify:

This question is for PC.
I already know that once in the vehicle you can move around between seats with the function keys. This is for avoiding those few seconds lost when both driver and gunner go out to repair and get back in in the wrong order. In those cases, one person needs to get out in order to let the other switch seats, which is an annoying, and a semi-frequent occurrence if you're in the habit of forming stable Driver/Gunner teams. Basically, if I know I want to be in the gunner seat, then why force me to get in the driver seat first?

According to A Meat Bicycle Built for Two film, Krieg's sane self can only talk to the psycho and urge him to say things "outside".

Can rare phrases of sane Krieg in-game be heard by other players?


texts: How to check opinion between any two arbitrary people?

texts:
It's easy enough to check an individual's opinion of you, and their opinion of their liege. But what about their opinion of someone else?

For example, say you as a king want to decide how to distribute duchies. You might want to grant them to two individuals who like each other so the realm is more stable, or to two individuals who loathe each other so they won't jointly rebel against you. Since one is not the liege of the other, how do you check their opinions of one another?


texts: Cheapest/fastest way to raise a Mind Mag?

texts:
On PSOBB, I want to raise a Mag with a Mind value as high as possible.

I read that it’s possible to get a Mag with 195 Mind, but that requires to use a certain Mag Cell on Mag level 5, which means that the Mag won’t learn any Photon Blasts. As I can’t get this Mag Cell and I’d like to have PBs, this is no option.

According to many guides, the hightest Mind value without using a Mag Cell would be 185, but some claim that it would be possible to get 186 (by putting the Mag into the bank after every single feed).

Is it true that you can get 186 Mind by such a method? But as this would take so much longer, this is quite a disproportionate effort.

So what is the cheapest/fastest way to raise a Mag to Mind 185?

The guide Vulpes' Maximum Single Stat Mag requires to feed for level 50 (in total):

388 Monofluids
5 Antiparalysis
1 Difluid
76 Trifluids

Those 76 Trifluids cost a pretty penny, but it’s probably really fast. Or is there an even faster way?

The guide Ultimate Mag FAQ only requires to use Monofluids and Difluids.

It doesn’t use any Trifluids, so it should be way cheaper than the first guide, but is there an even cheaper way?


texts: Is it possible to restart a level in Red Faction?

texts:
In the level where I hitch a ride on a space shuttle, I stupidly initiated the reactor overload immediately, not knowing I had to do more stuff in order to escape. I hit quick save the moment the count down started, and my last save is several hours old.

There's obviously no way I can escape in 20 seconds, so now I'm stuck unless I can restart the map somehow.

Is that possible?


texts:
I finished a game and got a random drop set for Spectre. I did not remember the name as every new item in armory used to show anyway.

But in the reborn I can't find this set at all. I've tried to filter 'Spectre' but it will literally find some cape of the spectre, but no items for Spectre (the hero).

How to easily find new items in reborn armory?

texts: Is there an effective counter to a hero's armor?

texts:
A warrior I was playing tonight was able to get their armor much higher than I would have liked. In Hearthstone a hero's armor is similar to a hero's health and since there is no practical limit to the amount of armor a hero can stack, his armor advantage became insurmountable.

While I was being summarily beaten I found myself wondering if there was a card that had any affect on a hero's armor. Essentially something like the Acidic Swamp Ooze, but with an effect on armor instead of a hero's weapon. Is there an armor countering card in Hearthstone? If no such card exists what is an effective strategy to control a run away armor train?


texts: I have entered the Grandmapocalypse, and these things called 'Wrinklers' are spawning on my main cookie. Are they positive or negative, and what do they do?


texts:
This is my attempt at a village breeder. They each have stacks of carrots in their inventory, but no hearts show up and they won't breed.

This is what's below the part you see here, and the bottom is 7 blocks below where the villagers are. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?


texts:
What does darkness refer to? Light in regards to player-character visibility.
Why am I asking this? I want optimal conditions for sneaking, so I want to know what time of day I should be performing covert ops.

If you have a suggestion on how to make this question less ambiguous, please comment.


texts: How far do crimson/corruption biomes spread?

texts:
I've completely rebuilt my base in a Forest Biome from the ground up since the release of the 1.2 update. And when my base was the same as in my old world, and most of the npc's were there (except the hardmode npc's), I thought it was time to activate hardmode.

The first thing I noticed is that I couldn't place any of the new npc's in my house because it was corrupt. Apperently this was because the crimson was under my house going from top to down. So I needed to move my house to another Forest Biome. But the Crimson is spreading really fast!

But how long will it take before the Crimson will have corrupted every green bit of my world? Or should I just place a block of stone to stop it? Is there even a way to stop it? I could always build it in the ice biome. But I find the constant visible falling snow annyoing. I already tried the obvious: purification powder. But the Crimson is just keep coming back!

What would you do?

Edit

Once I've made a new world, this time in a floating island (so no form of biomes will reach it), and was transfering some of my items (including NPC room furniture), I saw what was wrong all this time: I forgot to place a few walls!
I don't know if this was causing the This house is invalid error. But at least this was a possible reason.

Thanks for all the suggestions and sorry for wasting your time. Have an Ale on me!
