texts: How to choose a mission for only two people?

texts:
I am playing GTA V with a friend in a private session. (We don't like to have other real players in our session.)
We would also like to play the missions provided by Lester. But now we always get a mission for 4 players (jailbreak) and so we do not have a chance to go further on this, because we would like to play in pairs. Is there a way to choose only 2 player missions or skip the jailbreak mission?


texts: What do all of the Melee/Unarmed special attacks in V.A.T.S. do?

texts:
Once you have sufficient Melee/Unarmed skill, you unlock additional, special attacks with those combat skills, both in and out of VATS (to use them out of VATS, you need to do a power attack -  hold the attack button down, in combination with moving in a direction for varied results).

Thing is, the actual effect of these special attacks is... horribly undocumented, and the Wiki isn't quite up to speed on them either.

I've figured out that the 'Back Slash' with sword/knife weapons just costs less AP, but are there any special effects? Is there any good reason not to just spam them in VATS? (Out of VATS, they tend to be substantially slower than normal attacks, for better or worse I've found).

  How are all diminishing returns calculated in League of Legends?

Stuff like which slows stack and how do they stack. Also do slows get applied before or after buffs cause it would make whichever is applied after better. Movement speed is a very core part of the game and how everything gets applied can be very confusing to figure out how to use all your utility the most effective way possible.

texts: Do the blocked star systems become unblocked?

texts:
When looking over the Galaxy Map, I've noticed at least 3 star systems that apparently seem to be blocked out for me. The location of each system is where my cursor is hovering.

You can click through the images below for the larger versions.

The Mass Relay pathing seems to take me through them successfully and without trouble. However, I can't actually stop in them.

Will these star systems ever become unblocked areas that I can explore, or are they just in place to act as galactic "stepping stones" for the Mass Relays, so to speak?

If they are simply blocked until I reach a certain point in the story, I'd appreciate the plot point put behind a spoiler tag, please. :)

Obviously I could murder her or imprison her but I'd rather let her continue to rule her county if possible.

texts:
So im trying to make a teleportation area that will teleport players to certain points in my world. I have multiple command blocks next to each other because there are multiple selections as to where you can teleport. I set a command here:
/tp @a[x=41, y=4, z=31] 26 12 10

I put specified coordinates in there because I only want players in a certain point to be teleported. I have 4 of these commands with different coordinates for different places. This is where trouble started. I was done putting in all the commands, and tried it out. The command it tested was set as the following:
/tp @a[x=41, y=12, z=31] 26 12 10

That worked. I tried another one, but,  it teleported me to a location that was set in a different command block?? I even double checked to see if had mixed up any numbers, but, nope.
Just for clarification, there were 4 command blocks. I pressed the first on and it sent me to the location set in the second command, vise versa. What is happening? This also happened on another world I had, I dont really know how to fix this. Is there blocks you cant teleport through? Can command blocks not be side by side??

texts: Which (if any) mission changes are predetermined?

texts:
Sometimes missions will change partway through, like getting additional objectives, ice damage, a second faction joining the fight and so on. Some of these happen randomly (I'm sure the environmental ones are), while others seem to always occur on certain assignments: for example, Earth:Mantle will always have Corpus invade about halfway to the objective.

Which ones occur randomly, and which are designed as part of a mission? Is there any overlap between the two?

Note: this question was originally asked before invasions happened. Random events seem to be much less common in the current version, but still seem to happen occasionally. It seems that they're much more heavily related to specific circumstances. What are those circumstances for each kind of mission variable?

So the number of houses need to be ~3 times more than villagers. If I have 10 villagers, and want one more, I will have to have 32 houses (Is that right? 32 * 0.35 = 11.2) But for a house be considered "valid", does a villager need to see it? I'm not sure if I read it correctly on the wiki.

Most of my villagers hang around the far north of the village, and there are plenty "abandoned" houses to the south. What should I do? Take a villager on a minecart and go around the village will make all my houses valid? Will that work?

The same applies to the smuggler stash which is used to store items.

The optimal solution is an option sell or move all items of or below selected rarity at once, which I don't think is supported natively by the game.


texts: What is the difference between Support and Lane Support?

texts:
When I read the role descriptions here, http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Role, it seems unclear to me as to what the difference is between a Lane Support and Support.

Support
"Can focus less on amassing gold and items, and more on using their
abilities to gain an advantage for the team."
Supports are heroes
whose purpose is to keep their allies alive and give them
opportunities to earn more gold and experience. Supports will usually
come with skills, such as healing spells or skills that disable
enemies; and generally have low damage output (but often with a
powerful-yet-situational ultimate). Like Semi-Carries, Supports are
not dependent on items (with some exceptions), and thus, most of their
gold will be spent on items for the benefit of the team such as Animal
Courier, Observer Ward, Sentry Ward, and Smoke of Deceit. Supports are
typically paired with the team's Carry at the start of a game. This is
because the Carry tends to be the weakest and most gold-hungry member
of the team early on, whereas support heroes are at their strongest in
the early game. A Support should always forfeit kills to any teammates
who are more reliant on items than s/he is, only performing a kill if
none of his/her allies are able to do it.
Lane Support
"Helpful in the early-game laning in protecting your team's carry."
Lane Supports or Babysitters are Heroes who help their team's Carry
control the lane in the early stages of the game. They are able to
either repel enemies from your team's carry and thus keep them safe,
or to allow the carry to continuously stay in the lane using abilities
that replenish either health or mana. Common traits of Lane Supports
are long-ranged right-click attacks and abilities that are highly
useful from level 1 and up. They should always lane with the team's
Hard Carry, as aside from supporting them, their lack of dependence on
gold and levels means said Carry can take all the farm for themselves
without running the risk of soloing a lane.

I do not currently own any consoles, but Rock Band 3 looks so appealing for me that I am considering buying a console solely for that game. Discounting Nintendo DS, the game supports PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

Naturally I've been looking at the cheapest console - the Wii - as the leading option; however I've heard that it behaves differently in regard to downloadable songs than the other two, so I would really love to hear the pros and cons of different consoles regarding this specific game. Is there a difference in image/sound quality? Do the instruments behave the same? How are DLCs managed? etc.

Additionally, my country is covered neither by PlayStation Network nor by Xbox Live; does it affect downloadable songs distribution? Is digital distribution through the Wii also limited by country?

EDIT: I also know there's a variety of different Xbox models. Is there any concrete difference in how these models will play Rock Band 3?

EDIT 2: I would like to stress that whether it's possible to somehow connect to the online network is important for me. I've also seen some consoles sold with very small storage capability - 4GB or even 256MB; Are those sufficient for playing the game + getting some DLC songs?

Anyone have the specifics?


texts: Mob grinder does not spawn more than 63 mobs

texts:
Please take a look at the image below (click it for full size):

According to mob spawn rules, mobs can't spawn within 24 blocks of a player, which is currently okay, because the first spawn floor is 24+2 blocks above the AFK platform.

However, wiki says that mobs further than 32 blocks from the player don't move, which means they will never fall through the trap doors and so on.

The third biggest issue - The grinder stops working as soon as there are 63 mobs at the bottom of the kill tunnel. This can't be a mob cap, because the grinder is over 130 blocks above ground. What could be the reason?

I would appreciate it if you have any other suggestions. I used this tutorial:

texts: What am I supposed to do if a teammate starts firing at me in World of Tanks?

It sometimes happens that a teammate deliberately tries to kill you for example if you stand in his way. It often happens on Province or Malinovka that I hide behind a rock next to the spawn area and snipe from there. Sometimes someone else tries to push you out and if it does not work they start firing at you.

In these cases I ask them to stop but 80% won't do so and in this case standard procedure for me is to ensure survival: I kill them and continue the game. Today I received an 1H ban because of "Team Kill" but in fact it was self defense. What can I do in these cases? Just standing there until I die is not an option.

texts:
This earlier StackExchange question asked a similar question, but no-one appeared to know how to effect this without downloading new software. I'm primarily interested in a registry or binary hack for use with my legal copy.

My copy of Age of Empires II (Microsoft, 1999) is perfectly legal, bought about 15 years ago. Recently I installed and ran the game on my new laptop running Windows 8.1 and the game still works great!

Like most recent laptop models, there is no in-built CD ROM. You need to plug in an external USB DVD player to install software (from CD or DVD), but generally the CD ROM is not available because it is a hassle to attach to the laptop.

Whenever I try and run AoE2 without the CD, I get the error:

texts:
The slimes that slither out of the eggs in Duke Nukem 3D do not play nice with the other enemies. Despite there often being guards around egg clusters, if the eggs hatches and you leave the area and let them have some time with each other, only the slimes will remain after a short time. This behavior is one tactic to ensure enemies do no return in the highest difficulty setting of the game. However, it appears that not every enemy is susceptible to spontaneous liquidation. Octabrains seems to avoid this grizzly fate but who else?

texts: What are the full rules for aqueduct placement restrictions?

texts:
In Civ6, what are the full rules (including any undocumented ones) for where aqueducts can be placed?

See the below screenshot. It seems like I should be able to place an aqueduct between the city and the river/mountain. Ignore the tooltip which is for a different square.

It has all of the requirements: It is next to the city center, and it is next to a source of fresh water. Two, in fact, since if you look closely there's also a river behind the mountain. When I hover over the square the tooltip also acknowledges that that square is next to a river. And yet, I cannot build an aqueduct because no suitable locations for it can be found.

I saw some comments on Reddit about the same water source not being usable twice, and while I haven't verified that, it also isn't applicable in this case either.


texts: How to efficiently tell workers to return minerals before going to build something in Starcraft 2?

texts:
(Note: this question is motivated by openers that involve a decent amount of multitasking and in which we can be mineral starved, e.g., controlling reapers/hellions in 3CC-based TvZ builds, which have sensitive building timings.)

Also, my question is far more specific than this one with a very similar title: What's the most efficient way to select workers to build things in Starcraft 2?

My question:

Let's say I have a worker (on a far mineral patch) who I'd like to use to build the next key structure in my opener.  Let's also say that (for efficiency purposes) I've added this worker to its own control group.

Is there a sequence of commands - which do NOT involve looking at the worker itself - that would make the worker first return minerals (if it happens to be holding any) and then proceed to build the designated building?

The key aspects of the command sequence (if it exists) are as follows:

If the worker is NOT holding minerals when the command(s) are issued, (i.e., its traveling from the CC to its mineral patch), then the worker should immediately proceed to the designated building location, i.e., it should not proceed to the designated location after picking up minerals
If the worker is holding minerals (i.e., its traveling from the mineral patch to the CC), then it should first return the minerals before proceeding to the designated building location, i.e., it should not proceed to the designated location with minerals in hand
If the worker is in process of mining, then I'd be (relatively) indifferent as to what happens, as my priority is satisifying conditions (1) and (2).

Why am I asking this?

If such a method exists, then it would be possible to quickly and efficiently issue the following commands (where [XXX] represents a placeholder for the unknown command sequence):

Go to camera location for production buildings
Select worker by pressing the control group (as we will not have vision of the mineral line on maps with large main bases)
Execute command(s) [XXX] (i.e., a placeholder)
Give command to build structure

I was trying to take Egypt down a peg because they are obsessed with sowing discontent in my empire.  From a military point of view I had no problem with it--I took 6 provinces and won every battle.  However, I couldn't get any settlement out of them because my warscore was too low--as far as I can tell the problem is he would keep sending a small force to siege one of my provinces.  I would have to pull an army off siege duty to take care of it.  I'm not sure if it was the sieges or the abandoning of my own sieges but I only had an 8% warscore at that point.

The AI seems to have a basically perfect ability to avoid unwanted combat while moving, short of blocking every path (for which I didn't have the forces) I see no way to stop what he was doing.


texts: How large is a Smite Arena map in units?

texts:
I'm trying to get a frame of reference for just how big maps are. The Through Space and Time power will cast portals through any surface "within range 500", and then does 200% magical power as damage "at distances greater than 800".

What sort of distance does this 'range' actually cover however? How many "range units" is it from edge to edge in an Arena map, for example?

The Arena map is a familiar size for me compared to the jungle/lane maps. I'm trying to get a sense of what these distances are to help quickly eyeball ranges of powers in general (like Ratatoskr's tree-branch jump-move thing), and also to get a frame of reference for distances in Smite in general.

Same question asked here, so I know I'm not the only one who wants to know this.


texts: Detailed instructions for iPhone version of C&C - Red Alert?

texts:
I'm playing through the iPhone version of "Command And Conquer - Red Alert".

I've played older variants of C&C on other platforms so I know generally how RTS games work.  But what I cannot seem to figure out is some specific controls for some units - in particular, I'm on a level that asks me to use an engineer to blow up a bridge, but I have no idea how to use an engineer to do anything but capture enemy buildings (and that I had to figure out for myself).  Nor can I find the point of some buildings like a defense center.

Since the in-game guide is very basic and does not answer these questions, I was hoping there was an on-line manual somewhere that described what is going on in more detail - either from EA or someone else.  Are there sites I can visit for a real manual?

texts: What do the different colors of my fleets' firepower mean in Stellaris?

texts:
In Stellaris, my fleets' firepower amounts are listed under their location in the Outliner window in yellow. I assume this is the default font color for the UI.

However, one of my fleet's firepower label is listed in red, and there's no indicator or tooltip explaining the difference in color. I don't think the guided tutorial slave robot covered this, either.

Why is one of my fleet's firepower labels showing up as red?

To provide a bit more information, my 3rd Fleet is comprised of 14 Corvettes. My 1st Fleet, by comparison, has 12 Corvettes and 1 Cruiser. I don't recall the ship breakdown of my 2nd Fleet at the moment.

Originally, I surmised that the red color coding was because my 3rd Fleet was executing a combat order/was in combat, but I saw the red number even when the relevant fleet was not in combat or heading toward combat, which rules out that theory.


texts:
I have been continually plagued by graphical glitches.  I've tried every combination of drivers, various settings on OptiFine, settings on the Control Center, but nothing has solved the issue.  I've googled and tried about every solution I could find.  It doesn't matter what texture pack I use, whether fullscreen or windowed, or whatever.  After a few minutes of playing on any server or single player world, I will begin to get these annoying stretched texture graphics that cover parts or all of the screen, as well as "xray" holes in the floors and walls:

Specs / Info:

ATI Radeon HD 5670 (Latest Driver - version 9.2.0.0, Anti-Aliasing = application defined)

MineCraft 1.4.2 + OptiFine

Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!


texts: Why did Cloud want to take the Huge Materia?

texts:
In Final Fantasy 7 (the original), Shinra says that they plan to stop the Meteor by loading a rocket with Huge Materia, and sending it to blow up the Meteor. The next section of the game is going to different locations to steal the Huge Materia before Shinra can get/use it, ending with you stealing the Huge Materia from the rocket itself.
3-part question...

If Shinra is attempting to destroy Meteor at this point, why does Cloud (you) want to stop them? I know that while on the rocket, Cloud makes some comment about how the Huge Materia is too special / important to lose it, but Shinra is attempting to save the entire Planet at this point.
Why did Shinra still launch the rocket anyway if they didn't have all the Huge Materia to put on board as they planned?
Is there an in-game explanation why it doesn't matter if you succeed in getting the Huge Materia or not? If you fail to get the Huge Materia in the mini-games during that part of the game; then wouldn't Shinra have put the Huge Materia on the rocket? Wasn't the whole point that the Huge Materia was the only thing they knew of capable of destroying Meteor?

I collected all 4 Huge Materia in my playthrough, but my understanding is that failing to collect and or all of them has no impact on the story or the results of Shinra's rocket launch.
Is this just one of those things where the story is a bit unclear/confusing; or did I miss something about Shinra's plan to destroy Meteor?

texts: Should I just give up or should I kill myself?

texts:
I'm a big fan of Rogue, so of course I picked up Desktop Dungeons and got into it.

I've got a couple victories under my belt, and (of course) a couple losses as well.

One thing I'm wondering is about those losses.  Once I've gotten to a point in a dungeon where I know that I'm not going to be able to beat the boss, what should I do? As in, is there any difference?  There's some kind of a score that's calculated when the game is over, but does that score mean anything?  Most importantly though, is there some particular way that I can turn a total loss into less of a loss?

Should I charge the final boss and die gloriously?
Or (as I suspect) is it all a waste of time and should I just hit that Retire button as soon as I know I won't win?


texts: How can Urbosa give you the power to call lightning if that power comes from her Divine Beast?

texts:
In the cut scenes for Mipha, Daruk, and Revali it is made clear that each of their respective powers (healing, protection, upwards draft) is an ability unique to them (if not genetic as Daruk's offspring also have his ability of protection). When clearing the Divine Beast's their spirits transfer these gifts to you.  However, Urbosa's divine beast cut scenes - and the way the Gerudo speak of the divine beast - indicate that the divine beast can generate lightening - not Urbosa.

So, how can she give you the power of lightning when it was not something innate to her like Daruk's protection?

texts: Better Laptime but why do I not own the race-event?

texts:
I'm playing Need for Speed Shift on my PS3, which I borrowed from a good friend of mine. On every race I can play there is a red dot in the top left corner and the name and laptime of my friend is displayed. As I read on a tooltip during a loadingscreen this means, that he "owns" (?) this race, because he is/was faster then me. I managed to beat his time on the first three tracks an the dot turns green with my name and laptime next to it. After the third race I'm not able to change the dot and information, even if I beat his time.

So which are the requierements to change these dots to green? It cannot be simply "beat the time", because I got a lot of events where my personal best (you can see this in the raceinformation) is far better then his.


texts:
In Oxygen Not Included, what parameters are important when using a gas or liquid, pumped in a loop between the area you're trying to cool and the area you're trying to dump the heat (e.g. the cold biome)?  Are some fluids unambiguously better for this task than others?

I've seen several youtubers say that hydrogen is good for cooling - is that accurate, and if so what is the math behind it?  Hydrogen's low specific heat capacity means that when you pipe it through the cold area, it gets much cooler than, say, oxygen.  But I would expect that the effect is symmetric, and even though the hydrogen is colder when it gets to your base, it will also warm up faster and thus will not remove any more heat than if you used oxygen.

I've also seen oil used as the cooling medium.  The wiki mentions that oil did not used to be freezable so it was used as a cooling medium, but now that it has a freezing point, does it provide any advantage over, say, water?

texts: Is there a way to change/mod/reconfigure/cheat BioShock 1's hacking mini-game, to something less tedious?

texts:
I played BioShock 2 before BioShock 1. I got used to the BioShock 2 hacking mini-game, which is much faster to finish and does not stop the game while you're hacking (fight while you hack!), unlike BioShock 1's hacking mini-game, which is tedious to me and stops the game while you hack.

I find BioShock 1's hacking mini-game an exercise in frustration, since I have hacking OCD and have a habit of hacking every hackable item in sight in BioShock 2 - including security bots attacking me, turrets thrown by Big Daddies, etc. (I'm a master hacker in BioShock 2, in that I don't need a gene tonic to make hacking easier or even use plasmids on machines.)*

So, is there a way to change/mod/reconfigure BioShock 1's hacking mini-game, to something less tedious?

Note: I'm not looking for tips on how to effectively play the hacking mini-game or to use the auto-hack tool or buyout instead (there's already a wiki article about that). I'm looking to know how to either skip the hacking minigame through, for example: configuration modification, console commands/cheat codes (infinite auto-hack tool), trainers, mods, etc., that will effectively make a machine hacked, every time I try to hack one, skipping the mini-game. That, or make it significantly faster and less tedious to do, or convert it to BioShock 2's  single player or multi-player hacking system†.

* Also, there's quicksave/load =)
† "Hacking appears in BioShock 2's multiplayer experience as a much simpler rendition of the single-player form of hacking. Attempting to hack a machine in multiplayer does not result in a minigame, but instead, a loading bar on screen. Once the bar is full, the hack is complete and the machine is friendly to the player."

texts:
I recently started playing Star Wars: The Old Republic Online. Everything went fine on the starting planet, but once I hit my first off-world mission/flashpoint/what-have-you, I hit serious graphic trouble. Namely, I suddenly ran into enemy NPCs that I couldn't see. And I don't mean they were cloaked: I mean they were totally bodiless. If they had weapons I could see those, floating in the air and held by no one. Half the time I can't even target them, because I can't detect any bodies to target! AOE attacks will hurt them, and about half the time an AOE will cause me to target the NPCs once I've begun to hurt them, but most of the time unless they are accompanied by other, visible enemies that I can target first (which usually allows me to switch targets to the invisible ones using the keyboard controls), I just have to sit there and take damage until someone else kills these invisible jerks.

The problem seems to be linked to what kind of enemy it is, although I can't list all of the ones I've had trouble with, because they don't show up and neither do their names or identities. I can't even loot the corpses unless they're carrying a weapon; then I can click on the weapon and it will allow me to loot, but there's no body to click on even though the "loot indicator" lights up.

Some NPCs that are always invisible:

Most of the droids on the Black Talon
Vine Cats
HK-droids
Guild Lifter Droids
Any "boss" droid (in those cases I can see forceshields etc, but not the bodies)

Additionally, some background elements do not render properly, but instead appear as round green cones. Mostly, numerous plants and some security chests.

I have updated all of my graphics, etc., and the computer I'm using is only a few weeks old anyway. It's an Inspiron 5748 with Windows 7, 64-bit, with i7 core. This happens on missions, in Heroic Areas, in Flashpoints, and just walking around the world at random. It affects both of my characters, a bounty hunter and a Jedi Sentinel, equally. They are currently level 12 and level 14, respectively, but have been having this problem since they were both level ten and left their starting worlds. My companions can target the invisible enemies, and so can any other players in the area. No one I've asked has experienced anything like this problem. I've tried playing the game in different graphics settings, but no matter how low or high I set my graphics, the exact same thing happens. This isn't just dangerous for my characters' health; it directly affects my ability to complete missions.

Any help, suggestions, or solutions would be great, thank you!

texts: Pokemon Alpha Sapphire- Fabled Cave not working

texts:
On Pokemon Alpha Sapphire I've been trying to collect the legendaries but it's not working. Some of the spots to find them are missing and sometimes the battle won't initiate. I'm currently having this problem with Zekrom.

I can get to the place, even though it doesnt show the mirage spot but it won't let me initiate the battle not matter how many times I engage the the mysterious ring. It just says, "A mysterious ring is floating in the air..."

I have two level 100 pokemon in my party and it still won't work. I've beaten the game, the delta episode and the Elite Four more than five times to level up my pokemon. This is my first time playing this game and I don't use hacks. I've looked everywhere to see if I was missing something and I'm not. I haven't fought Zekrom but it's acting like I have. Is this because I didn't catch Kyogre?

Edit: I do have the Eon-Flute and I have done the rematch with Kyogre and caught him.

texts: How is maximum number of affixes affected by difficulty / act / iLvl?

texts:
Today I was farming Act II on normal difficulty with 250% magic find bonus trying to find some decent rares. Of 25-30 rare items that I found all armor items had 4 affixes and weapons had 4 to 5 affixes.

I know that items can have up to 6 affixes (source), but apparently on lower levels the limit is 4 or possibly 5. I would like to know on what exactly maximum number of affixes depends (is it act and difficulty? Or iLvl?) and what is the earlies point in game where I can start getting items with all 6 affixes. Is there any official (or unofficial) info on that?

Also, I suspect that there is a minimum number of affixes for specific iLvl as well (have you ever seen rare item of 62 level with just one affix?). Any information on this will be appreciated as well.

texts:
I have some mods that I've downloaded and I've noticed that they were able to input plates and vases that can't be moved or stolen. They are just fixed in place and even models of dragons and werewolves they would use to display as mounts to decorate certain places.

I also wondered how they get certain visual magic effects (like the effects you see when you scroll to the magic menu abilities and choose a magic ability). Yet they would have those same effects mounted on something for decoration.

How can I obtain these things to create a certain look in my houses or in Castle Volkihar? Can these things be console commanded or do I have to go to the Creation Kit to put them in the world?


texts: Is there a way to drop gold without the console or mods?

texts:
Individual gold pieces (A.K.A. Septims) can be found, coin purses can be found, gold can be found within containers, pickpocketed from living persons, and gold can be stored from the player into a container (or pickpocketed onto a living person). However, once individual gold pieces or coin purses are looted, I know of no way to drop individual gold pieces or coin purses, as they are converted into a player value, rather than being or remaining a physical object with which one may interact.

Particularly without the console or mods, is there a way to generate individual gold pieces that can be moved and looted?

texts: How does Pound of Flesh bonus work with Health Globe drop rates and bonuses?

texts:
There is a very good answer to a question about generic drop rates, but how do those changes if you are using Pound of Flesh?

How does P.o.F. effect drop rates if you are playing in a group setting?
Would Elite (Blue) monsters go from 60% drop at 50/0% life up to a 70% or 85% chance to drop a globe?
(My instinct is that it would be 70% because most things in Diablo 3 seem to be multiplicative)
Does the +25% to health globe drops then not affect Rare (Yellow) monsters at all?
In a group setting, does everyone in the party benefit from that (if so, what happens with multiple barbs using pound of flesh)?
Or is it only if you, as the barb, are the one who drops the target below their normal drop check mark?
Also, has anyone tested if the 100% bonus to life healed from health globe is applied before or after item bonus to heal?
(Here my guess is that it only multiplies the base amount from 20%/35% to 40%/70% and then adds item bonuses)

texts: Minecraft sounds not working using javaw

texts:
I've being trying to get Minecraft sounds working lately without success using javaw.exe, but strange enough with the console oupout (java.exe) my sounds are working. Since this is just a workarround and doesn't solve the issue itself, I would like to know if any of you know what could be causing this problem.

I have no sound anywhere including main menu and f3 + s isn't doing anything.

Yes I did try to re-install Java on my machine (when defined Minecraft launcher to use the JRE installed on my machine), I tried to re-install the game and I tried to check if sounds were working using the javasounddemo that I downloaded on Oracle website (it works).

Here is a installation log of minecraft latest version using javaw.exe: https://pastebin.com/cNVnTWVN .

Now I want to "invest" those crafting materials in items. I know I have to buy a recipe eventually, but which one? My goal is to either get something good for my Demon Hunter or sell those items.

As Fiery Brimstones are rare and very expensive I wanted to go with rare items.


texts: How does one brake while drifting with the Nunchuck controls?

texts:
Version 4.0 of Mario Kart 8 added 200cc, and with it, the ability to brake while drifting for sharper turns. (I guess maybe this was in the game already, but they certainly added feedback with sparks for doing so in 200cc because of how important it ends up being.)

The problem is, the "brake" and "drift" buttons are both the B button for the Nunchuck control setup. While a specific change was noted for the Wiimote-alone setup (hold B+1+2 all at once), none was given for Nunchuck users.

So how are Nunchuck users supposed to brake while drifting?

Now I take a mobile builder there, and build turrets (it's adjacent to one of my planets, so it has supply) and other defensive buildings, to defend the entrance to my wormhole. Does this put adjacent planets on alert as if I had taken the planet from the AI, or do the adjacent planets just sit there blissfully unaware?

texts: How quickly does a Pokémon lose motivation?

texts:
With the new gym update, Pokémon have a motivation meter while defending a gym. This meter degrades over time, which makes it easier to remove that Pokémon from its defending position. Motivation can be reduced quicker when it loses a fight defending the gym, but can also be replenished using berries. However, if a Pokémon is left alone at a gym too long, it will lose all motivation and be returned to you as soon as it is defeated a single time.

How quickly does this motivation meter degrade on its own? That is, how long will a Pokémon defend a gym naturally?

texts: Black screen when Fortnite has to load a fully new screen. Is this a bug or a server error?

texts:
Ever since yesterday afternoon, I have been experiencing a fully black screen when the entire screen turns black and loads for a second or two and then I can see again. This might not be terrible but it has still killed me more than once so it's pretty bad.

I have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Fortnite, and I have also looked it up to see if someone has experienced the same thing only in Season 8, but I've seen the same kind of thing that others experienced in previous seasons but none in Season 8.

Is this a bug in the game that is causing this black screen or is it a server malfunction because of the high load of people playing right now?

texts:
I just purchased a Wii U (with the gamepad) and a Nyko Pro controller. The last Nintendo system I owned was Gamecube and as such I am out of touch with Wii accessories. I understand a number of them work with the Wii U, but I'm confused about which work with eachother.

From what I can see online these are what are available:
Wiimote
Wiimote Plus
Wii Nunchuck
Wii MotionPlus

Here are my questions:

 What is the difference between the Wiimote and Wiimote Plus?
 Which of these are compatible with the others?
 With a Nyko Pro controller and the Gamepad do I really need any of these for a Wii U?
 Anything else I should know?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Am I missing a skill which allows you to carry fire some other way than a torch or through waterfalls and should come back later when I have it, or should there some other method to bring fire to the cave via torch and should I explore other ways to enter it?

texts: What's the difference between the two Animus Hack kill streaks?

texts:
So there's two kill streaks, the Animus Hack and the Silent Animus Hack.

Animus Hack:
When the STREAK counter reaches 9, the ANIMUS HACK enables you to kill whomever you want from a distance.
You earn +100 points when you kill a non-TARGET Templar.
(80 Abstergo Credits)

Silent Animus Hack:
When the STREAK counter reaches 7, the ANIMUS HACK enables you to kill whomever you want from a distance.
You earn +100 points when you kill a non-TARGET Templar.
(80 Abstergo Credits)

As you can see, the descriptions are practically identical except one is for 9 kills, the other, 7.
What's the difference between the two Animus Hack streaks?
I would have thought the Silent Animus Hack would have been more useful and easier to acquire since it requires less kills and the potential to be silent.  I'm guessing it only counts Silent or Incognito kills and Stuns for the streak?  The regular Animus Hack is more elusive and not silent.  I'm guessing it probably counts any kill/stun?  Both cost the same.
Videos I've seen on the non-beta release just demonstrate its use for the most part but I couldn't tell the difference in any of them.  I've only seen two guys online to be able to use it (with one actually killing me) but don't know what to think of it.  Can anyone clear this up?

You take some damage and after some time, your life starts regenerating at some uncertain (for me) speed but...

Is the speed or the amount of regeneration based on my actual HP?

So far, I can only say that when playing Sniper, it seems to be working the same way all the time but I haven't actually payed enough attention to it yet.

texts: Bug in morrowind elderscrolls: Bloodmoon, no Raven rock

texts:
I came back to play Bloodmoon and do the East empire questline since you get a house at the end.

Upon attempting to start the questline via "https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Establish_the_Mine"
I find that one of the main quest characters is dead. (Falco)

This breaks the game for me since Carnius will not give any quests after this, stating that "Falco is dead..no more east empire company" (my paraphrase).

Even with using console commands to "resurrect" or try and force quest events, (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Console) the town of Raven rock wont be built. (just a blank field)

I guess I missed some trigger event for the game to script the building of Raven rock. Does anyone have any solution on how I can fix this?

texts:
So I've been trying to get into this game, and it's amazing so far, however the overworld map has a bug which I cannot get rid of.

In short, the game is behaving as if I'm constantly holding down the A and S keys whilst on the overworld map. I can cancel the movement by holding down W and D constantly, but I can't move in those directions as they are being cancelled out by the phantom A and S.

I have unplugged all input devices except for my keyboard and mouse, and I am also not just leaving my mouse in the corner of the screen or something which might cause it to move.

I have downloaded this from steam and I don't want a seemingly great game to go to waste due to a small bug like this!

texts:
When an Enderman teleports, either by accident or after being angered, does it follow a continuous path to the destination? If so, what are the requirements for such a path?

Minecraft wiki made me think that they teleport similar to spawning, only with limited range. Like they pick a spot within 32 blocks, then disappear and appear at that spot. However, after some in-game observation, I'm now under the impression that their teleportation is the same as any mob's movement, only very fast (and perhaps with the ability to jump a little higher).

To give more specific example:

there's a room with ceiling 3 blocks above (enough to fit an Enderman)
the room is well-lit (mobs can't spawn)
walls are made of cobblestone (Endermen can't grief their way through)
one side is open, but a deep ravine (let's say, 70 block deep and 4 block wide) with no way around it lies between the room and a place where Endermen can spawn

Will they be able to teleport into this room? If true, then I suppose they don't need a path after all.


texts: How can I export all item ID's, Metadata and Names?

texts:
I am attempting to export a list of all item IDs, and metadata from
minecraft. I am using the FTB Unleashed pack.
What I want is to write to file:

351:1 Ink Sac
351:2 Rose Red
...
368:0 Ender Pearl
369:0 Blaze Rod
...
2174:0 Naga Stone

Or something that I can convert to that with some regex etc.

NEI, and Item Resolver both only export item IDs.
However this is not useful to me because some mod, heavily use the metadata value, to store a different item in the same ID space. The Vanilla Dye is an example of this.

I am coming the the conclusion I may just have to make it myself.

I would like this for computercraft fun.
I many computercraft things return only the item id / metadata eg the ME Bridge and Interactive Sorter. Other computer craft mods (AE Peripheral, OpenCCsensors) do handle item names. However I am unwilling to add mods to the server.
If a there is a mod I can use in single player to export all the ID, metadata and names, then I can use a computercraft program to parse it, that can run on the server. (I already have one working for ID/Name)

texts:
OK, I feel like this should be a question that I don't need to ask, but I couldn't find an explanation anywhere.

I am playing the full version of Dungeon Siege 3 (not the demo, which doesn't allow saving).  I walked up to a save point beacon, and the game popped up a little "hint" explaining that this was a save point.  But it didn't tell me what to do with it, nor did it appear that it had auto-saved when I touched it.  I tried bringing up the game menu, but there was no Save Game option, only Load Game (and that only showed my last auto-save).

So how do I actually save at a save point?

texts: Techniques and tips for tuning cars in GT5

texts:
I've been upgrading, race modding and generally tinkering with my cars over the last few days and I've come apart trying to tune them effectivly.

Are there any guides or such? At the moment, I pick a track I'm good on, currently using Deep Forest Raceway as it has a good combination of curves and straights. I tend to like a grippy car with slightly twitchy steering, so have opted for this track to suit that driving style. Then I am just firing up practise and lapping a few times, tweaking and lapping again.

If the laptime is slower or the car feels bad, I undo it and start over.

My question revolves around the principle that lap times are an effective meter for tuning changes (suspension specifically). The problem lays in 'How do I find out what combinations of changes are effective?'

I have read and reread all the manual pages and am starting to understand, but I would really like some guidance or input from more seasoned drivers.

My S/O and I are currently using a 2-port powerline adapter, and we get speeds around 30up/30down with ~12 ping. It seems that our setup works completely fine except in the situation where someone is watching YouTube while the other is gaming.

Things that didn't cause lag spikes:

Playing CS:GO at the same time
1 person playing CS:GO, the other watching Twitch in "Source" quality
Both watching YouTube videos at the same time
Both watching Twitch streams at the same time

Things that did:

1 person playing CS:GO, the other watching YouTube in any quality
(tested in 1080p, 720, 360)

Does anyone know why this happens? It seems pretty bizarre to us. Thanks!

Most sources claim there is none, but they are from 2009.


texts: How do I use Stimpaks and RadAways on Dwellers in the Wasteland?

texts: So, in Fallout Shelter, whenever I send my Dwellers to the Wasteland, I give them five Stimpaks and five RadAways, but they never use them when they are injured/radiated. I don't know how to make my Dwellers use them. How do I do this?

I spend 2-3 of them after each fight, so now I have only 5 left.

I have been playing a lot of multiplayer since it became apparent that the single player doesn't really have much replay value and I've been on a bit of a successful winning streak which has resulted in my APEX rating continually going up.

What impacts your APEX rating? Does it increase by specific amounts based on whether you win or not? Can your APEX rating also go down?

Is there anything to gain out of becoming the 9th paradigm?


texts:
i used magic against Vilkas when trying to enter 'the companions'. Now he won't acknowledge my melee attacks. I can't go into any shop menus, complete quests or talk properly. I used up all my autosaves trying to fix it. Now I have to start all over again, I was level 27 and very far through the main quest!

I've tried getting a bounty and paying it off, but conversations never trigger anything. I tried sleeping, going to jail (no trigger), hitting Vilkas with both shield and sword then sheathing etc. and he is indestructible so I can't kill him.

I might just put the game down until Bethesda patch this, which may mean I will never pick it back up. Shame.

If anyone can think of any other way to fix this I would be indebted. I refuse to start again.

Maybe if there is an alternate way to complete the quest? I heard there are a few ways of getting in to the companions.


texts: How do your mods on your Warframe effect your Archwing stats?

texts: I know you can apply mods to your Warframes, and to your Archwings, but how do the ones on your Warframe effect the stats on your Archwings? Which ones effect both your Warframe and your Archwing and which ones don't (I would prefer if you made one list, of the smaller category).

texts: How to properly control The Wither in order to break only certain blocks?

texts:
I'd like to make a Cobblestone automatic farm that uses The Wither as the breaker, but it seems to me that it could easily get out.
What I thought about already (but I don't think it's enough for the whole mecanism): Enclose it in an Obsidian box, put a Glass Block in the wall that connects to another room in which there is a mob, and fill the room with Water, in order to absorb the blasts, but also serve as an ingredient for Cobblestone, and a few Lava. However, I guess that because of The Withers melee attack, that happens after taking damage (drowning, in this case), it might bust out.
So, how do I prevent The Wither from breaking the room's walls, and only make it break the Cobblestone that forms?

texts: How can I export all item IDs, metadata and names? [FTB 1.4.7 Mindcrack]

texts:
I have used NEIs dump thing but that does not give meta data and the names are average at best. How can I access the item id, meta data and proper name (that you get by hovering over the item in NEI)?

I have seen a mod that does this for 1.5 but not for 1.4.7

I want this data for a table for use in my interactive sorter program

Of all the repetitive item-grinding tasks to perform in Minecraft, easily the most tedious task (For me at least) is grinding flint out of gravel.

My usual method involves grabbing a shovel, stacking my gravel to the heavens, then digging straight down.  This is not only probably inefficient, but usually uses up the entire shovel, and is dangerous to boot!

So, I am planning to build a Gravel Crusher with redstone...but I am not sure if it will work the way I want it to.

The design is relatively simple: A single two-meter tall eight-meter long empty space.  On one side, a solid stone wall.  On the other, pistons connected with redstone.  Above it, a tall, tall shaft with a ladder that leads to the top on the outside.

The idea here is to place gravel bricks at the top, and let them drop down into the empty area in the middle.  After loading up as much gravel as I can, I simply walk to the bottom and activate the lever to crush the first row of gravel, then repeat over and over until all the gravel is crushed, resulting in a mess of leftover gravel and, most importantly, flint.

I have yet to build this, because I'm not sure if such a construction would actually work.

Would my machine effectively crush the gravel into flint?  Could I replace it with torches at one end to make it work properly?  Or do I need to manually dig through my gravel to get any flint at all?
