texts: How do I make an effective Minecraft SMP trap?

texts:
Alright, so on a SMP server that I play, there's been some raids by other players to grab my stuff, and occasionally killing me and taking my inventory. So, I'd like to make some traps for them the next time they come in. What's the best way to make a trap for them?

Attributes I'd like would be

Simple: Although I likely have enough redstone dust and such to make a complex trap, I'd prefer a design I'm unlikely to mess up, as I've blown myself up before trying to make a TNT-related trap.
Inescapable: Well, this goes without saying. I suppose anything can be escaped/avoided with the right foreknowledge and equipment, but I'd like something they're nearly certain to fall into. That said, I'd prefer it if the trap wasn't something I could accidentally kill myself with as I go around my house.
Finally, I'd like a trap that doesn't destroy all the equipment along with the enemy player, is it would be nice to loot their diamond swords instead of burning them. (Although, I'd be fine with some lava traps as a last line of defense if they avoid everything else.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT:
To clarify, in the servers I mainly play on, it's usually just default gameplay, as abusing admin powers to raid is not allowed. So assume the enemy players have the best possible equipment (diamond pickaxes, swords, armor, bows, TNT, water/lava blocks, etc.), but no admin ability.

texts: Can emeralds be found in a world created by a version below 1.3?

texts: What are all the endings of Façade and how do I find them?

texts:
The game Façade weaves an interesting tale of deception and romance over the course of its short gameplay, one that varies in many subtle and not-so-subtle ways from playthrough to playthrough, but ultimately ends in one of a few basic outcomes based on your behavior. For example:

  One ending has you getting kicked out of the house by your angry friends, for annoying or shocking them too many times.

What are all the basic endings to Façade? What sort of behavior leads to getting each ending?


texts: How do systems take damage from Beam weapons?

texts: I've been playing around this for a bit and I can't really quite figure it out nor find the optimal way to aim a beam weapon... Basically, I've noticed that systems are sometimes not damaged by my beam weapon touching their room and that this usually happens when the beam only touches the edge of the room. Is there a specific hitbox for systems to be hit by beams or what?

I was just about to dig myself a new basement to my wooden-home, when I suddenly figured that the ceiling was on fire (long story short, not even the cockroaches survived). The only thing I did was to place a torch underneath a wooden block, as I've done many times before without so devastating effects.

So I wonder, can torches ignite fires? If yes, always or only under certain conditions?


texts: How can I earn kills with Hanzo's Scatter Arrow?

texts:
Hanzo is an interesting character in Overwatch. He's a sniper, but he fills a different niche from the more traditional sniper. To compliment his bow-driven gameplay, one of his abilities is Scatter Arrow - an arrow that explodes on impact to a bunch of smaller arrows. This is a powerful ability, and used right it can 1-shot many of the lower health characters (I know from being on the receiving end).

The problem I have with Scatter Arrow is that I seem to be aiming it wrong. I'm just aiming it at bodies, but I've done very disappointing damage with it so far. It also has a long enough cooldown that I'm not sure when I should be trying to use it. How am I supposed to use this ability to earn kills?

texts: Other than the greatly increased chance of a trice's hiss attack turning you to stone, what other specific effects does a NEW MOON have?

texts: I often avoid playing established characters during a new moon because it really seems like luck is adversely affected.  Monsters seem to be spawned much more rapidly, in greater quantities, stronger, faster, more dangerous, and suspiciously ready to hit me where I'm weakest.(for example, this post was prompted by this event--I had just acquired 18 unidentified potions via my pets cleaning out a liquor store and was on my way to my stash/altar camp to ID them when suddenly a pack of winter wolves was generated.  By the time I finished with them, nearly a dozen potions had shattered).  Is this just a skewed perception?   What exactly does a new moon do?


texts: I understand that grimoires give me access to skills that a character wouldn't normally have, but I don't really understand how combining them works, or what the "equipment bonus" does. Can an existing grimoire get better on its own, or only from combining it with another? I'd like more info on how these work.


texts:
Some weeks ago I wanted to play MW2 multiplayer, but I saw '0 players currently playing'.

I know there are alternatives like IW4play (since alterIWnet is down 'cause of IW)

I have lost a very valuable shulker block in an ocean, in my minecraft world. It had 56 diamonds, 64 iron bars, few gold ores, a trident, a nautilus shell, a heart of the sea, and a few stacks of ice. It is very valuable, and I really want it back, but I don't know where I left it. The sea is way too large to explore it by myself, so are there any ways to get it?
P.S. My world is in 1.16, so mcedit doesn't work. It also has cheats and commands disabled, but I can make a copy of my world and work on that one.

texts: How many habitats can I fit on an island grid?

texts:
I'm planning to dedicate a couple islands to battery farms (all dragons, no decoration) so I'll have more space in the rest of my park. However this is proving non-trivial because:

The island grid is a very awkward, non-symmetrical shape
Habitats range in size from 2×2 to 8×8 (they're all squares though)
Each island has to accommodate one 3×3 Entrance Portal somewhere as well

Just brute-forcing it, I can fit 13 large rainbow habitats (6×6) on one island, but I feel like if I did it optimally I could squeeze in at least one more.

So, for each habitat size, I'd like to know: How many habitats can I fit on a single island?

texts: Can I remove a Delta Recruit Character without consequences?

texts:
Characters created in STO between April 2 and May 21, 2015 became Delta Recruits, which had some benefits over "regular" characters.

Delta Recruit characters are marked by a small Delta sign next to the rank insignia:

Creating a Delta Recruit also added benefits for other characters of the player, which were created before or after that period.

These benefits could be collected by visiting a temporal agent in the factions headquarter, for example for federation characters this is Philip Crey at Earth Space Dock:

I don't really play my Delta Recruit character anymore, it just doesn't fit my play style, so I'm wondering what happens if I delete the character to make space for new ones. Will I still be able to get the benefits from the Delta Recruit program with new characters?

texts: How do I battle with my Pokemon Gold/Silver Pokemon on Pokemon Stadium 2?

texts:
My friend and I have been playing Pokemon Gold and Silver versions on our Gameboy colors, and we thought it would be fun to battle on the big screen using Pokemon Stadium 2. So we got a Transfer Pak and plugged one of our games in and were a bit disappointed by the minimalist layout of the transfer process.

We managed to transfer some Pokemon to the storage box on Stadium, but when we went to do a Free Battle and set the rules to 'Everything Goes' we couldn't find our transferred Pokemon. They didn't show up in the Rental Menu, unsurprisingly, but the only other menus were Registered and another one that contained the party of the Gold Version that was still connected. Connecting two isn't an option because we only have one Transfer Pak.

Do we need to put our Pokemon somewhere other than the storage box? Do we need to get a second Transfer Pak and connect both games at the same time and battle with our in-game parties?

I have created 17 games or so on my first console (64 bit chip, BD disc, console) and it has 30% of the market share. It had 33% but some other consoles have been released.

Could I produce games on this console indefinitly? Would creating, say, a "sequel" for my console be have any benefit since my current configuration is already the most expensive of each option.

I am not sure if there's a dynamic of "gamers are getting bored of this generation consoles" or not. I do know that consoles you make never go off the market.

But I don't want to waste a year and a half and piss off my impatient fans if it offers no advantage or benefit.

texts: GTA SA - Freefall Mission, better way to catch the plane?

texts:
I've played GTA SA on both PC & Mac, first when it was new & again last year, from scratch, no cheats.

Every time, though, I get stuck at the Freefall mission & spend days getting to the airport, flying for 5 minutes to find the airplane I'm supposed to jump to, only to never quite be able to catch it.

It gets a bit tedious after the 10th attempt & I give up.
Last time I gave up at this point is nearly a year ago, so I thought I'd see if there's any easier way to do this mission.

My flying skill is high, I've completed all the flying school missions (though I don't actually think I'm a great pilot)

Is there just some simple trick I'm missing?
Is there any sure-fire way to complete this level (quickly)?
I've tried flying higher than the plane & diving down to it, which occasionally gets me closer, but it's so hit & miss.

Anything, any way to be able to complete this one & one time be able to finish the game.

texts: Do I need to get all the Red Dead Redemption achievements to get 100%?

texts:
I just completed the single player portion of Red Dead Redemption but I am only around 95% complete. I have two Rank 10 tasks to complete (disarm 6 people with no reloads and kill the legendary bears - I've done one bear and the wolf already) but that doesn't seem enough to get 5%.

What else might I be missing? Are there any common tasks that people miss when playing Red Dead Redemption (like an obscure stranger mission or gang hideout)?

texts: Smartcast and range indicators for certain skills?

texts:
As far as i know you can have your skills cast when you hit (keydown) your skill key QWER or after you press the target with your mouse. The whole clicking with the mouse to activate the skill sucks - it add too much delay and opportunaty for failure. Using smartcast to activate the skill right away can be very tricky though - especially when aiming long skillshots. Luckily there is an alternative, enabling range indicators. With this enabled, you will see a range indicator when you press keydown and have the skill activate on skill up (with the option to cancle out by clicking with the mouse). All is great, except how can you enable range indicators for certain skills only?

Take Thresh for example. I really  like the range indicator for his Q so i can see where the hook will fly, also i like it on his flay as well (because i always forget to position it correctly when i want to flay towards me - i place it in front of me and then do a 180 degree rotate around myself - yeah i know i need to fix that). His lantern and box though, i don't want to have it delayed till i lift my finger from the keyboard. I want them activated immediately when i hit the key.

I know the UI is not giving me the option to do it individually (yes i can turn off smartcast but that will only make it worse - forcing me to click with the mouse to activate) but is it possible with keybindings somehow? Perhaps edit direcly in the keybindings.ini file?

This is NOT about enabling smartcast on certain skills. It's enable/disable range indicators for certain skills while using smartcast on ALL skills.

Can anyone help?


texts: Has the suicidal squad mate AI behavior on higher difficulties been fixed?

texts:
On the higher difficulties in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, the squad mate AI during any combat sequence would act in a way that would quickly lead to its own death. That is, the AI squad mates would leap out of cover and head directly toward oncoming fire. There were also instances of the AI deciding to take cover in an area far beyond their current position and therefore suffer a heavy barrage of damage en route. The only way to avoid this was to micromanage their moves.

My question is, has the AI improved enough to the point to where my squad mates prioritize not taking damage versus futily rushing the enemy? That is, will my squad mates still take a few foolish hits early in the battle and become useless on the ground unless I micromanage every move, or will the AI act with self-preservation in mind and remain effective in combat longer?

texts: What Sonic game was this clip taken from?

texts:
Watching this (repuloaded) music clip of mixed Dr Robotnik Scenes, @ 0:13 there's a part where after Dr Robotnik goes to say what his name his, a CG Version of Dr Eggman plays saying his name is Dr Eggman, which Dr Robotnik refutes

I tried a reverse image search however it seems the low quality of the image google tells me it's either an LED Flat Screen, or a Reptile and looking at the comments of the video, surprisingly I can't find anyone asking "what game" (did a screen text search for "game" and did scroll down a far bit to get more comments).

While the image is real blurry it looks like that Eggman is wearing the coat that's open from the waist down which rules out the only time I know of that Eggman has been rendered outside of the game which was Sonic Boom where Eggman doesn't have the same tyle of coat as the general depiction of him.

So what game did this clip of Dr. Eggman come from?


texts: What is required to play online on the Xbox 360 version of Borderlands?

texts:
I've bought Borderlands and I've been playing it on my own. I'm starting to get interested in playing co-op online, but never done it before so not sure how I go about it.

Do I need to do anything else other than the game & an Internet connection?
Do I just click on the Xbox live link in the game load screen to take me to the correct online location/screen etc?
Do I need to buy an Xbox live card to be able to go online?

A real newbie question but I've never played online, not sure how it works, and not sure if I'll prefer it to the single player I'm going through now. I don't want to pay loads of additional cash for Xbox live access and then not use it.

texts: Minecraft Closes Randomly with a Java Exception

texts:
Unlike when the game crashes it goes to a black screen and then the stack trace. This time the game just closes and leaves a nice hs_err_pid.txt file for us, which you can find here.

I've checked around Google and most people's answer is to Update my Graphics card, I have attempted this and the AMD Auto Detect application just tells me that it's up to date.

System:
I record with Fraps sometimes but this does not mean that this causes it (it happens when not recording too). I also run Minecraft on a RAMDisk that has 512MB.

Can anyone give me any advice about this?

However, once this post-game summary disappears, I can no longer view that percentage of people. I tried going to View My Achievements, but it doesn't show up there.

Question: how do I view the percentage of players who have a specific achievement later on, after the post-game summary is gone?

texts:
I have a question about how the buy order works on the Steam Market.
I will use the following picture for my examples.

Scenario:

Let's say I list my buy order at $11.41, after someone listed the $12.12 price. If a seller puts up the item for $11.41, will I get the item, or will the person who put their buy order higher and before mine receive the item?

Essentially, if the listing price is equal to or lower than the buy order, will the item go to the person with the highest buy order, or the person who placed the buy order first?

People actually sell their items under the top buy order. I've seen CSGO knives sell for pennies when their top buy order is in the hundreds. Here is an example. This knife was sold for $0.14 just a few weeks ago.

FYI:

This does not function like "basic forex" softwares. I've listed a CS:GO trading card for $0.04 when the highest buy order was $0.05 and I received $0.04 not $0.05.

texts:
Note: This question refers to content only found in beta. As of 1.0 stable, the stone axe is not obtainable. While pickaxes and drills still exist and can be used to cut wood, they are not craftable or upgradable and have limited use. The only upgradable tool for cutting wood is the Matter Manipulator.

I have defeated the first boss in Starbound and am roaming around in the Beta Sector. I have upgraded my pickaxe to gold, and it is working really great.

I was wondering if there are similar upgrades for the axes. Assuming that there would of course be an upgrade to axes, I crafted an Ice Axe (Human racial steel Axe), but it wouldn't chop any trees. Similarly for the Iron Axe, I came upon this in a wiki:

  Although you can make an iron axe after making an iron anvil, the Iron Axe is a weapon, and not a tool for cutting trees.

Does that mean we're stuck with the Stone Axe for all our wood needs?

There's a sofa exactly where I need to stand. I can get really close (close enough that I get sparks) but can't quite trigger it.

I've tried standing on the steps behind, but a tree blocks the correct position (can't even get sparks here)

And even standing on the castle wall, but the crenelations are in the way (again, no sparks)

There's nothing else on the correct line of sight.

Is this just very fiddly and I need to keep trying by the sofa or am I missing something?

How to I play StarCraft 2 offline?

I'm running StarCraft 2 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4.

Edit: I can login and play online. Afterward it still doesn't let me play offline.

Edit 2: This appears to be a common problem, see gamespot, yahoo and blizzard.

texts: Why do bolt-action sniper rifles occasionally not kill in one hit?

texts:
Usually if you hit someone with a bolt-action sniper rifle, they die. But sometimes even when you hit them, they're only injured.

What causes a sniper rifle to only wound? Does it depend on where on their body the bullet impacts at (for example, the Locus from the Call of Duty wiki has the description: "Bolt-action sniper rifle. 1-hit kill to the chest and above.", which could very well mean leg-shots would get hit markers)?

Does whether you've fully aimed down the sights or not affect it?

texts: In Civ5, when you have access to iron, does it make sense to build musketmen?

texts:
Technology upgrade tree looks like this:

|Steel          |    |Gunpowder   |
|- Longswordman |    |- Musketman |
|  cost 150     |    |  cost 120  |
|  str: 18      | => |  str: 16   |
|  mov: 2       |    |  mov: 2    |
|  req: steel   |    |  req: -    |

Therefore, at first glance I thought that since the Musketman is a unit for a later technology it would be "better". But it appears that as long as I can build longswordmen and have the time to build them, I should not spend maintenance on musketmen.

Am I correct? What about upgrade paths?

texts:
I've just gotten past the crane sequence and I'm now in a two-story chamber where I can climb around in the rafters. I hopped on the chandelier and broke it. Now part of the chandelier is on the bottom floor with two lit candles.

I can light my trusty stick on fire with the candles, which I would assume is important to progress. But I can't find anything else to light on fire, nor any dark places to light up within range of the torch's duration.

I saw in the chandelier crash cutscene that the support of the broken bridge is weakened. I assume that I must make the bridge crash, so I can get down to the far first-floor door that Yorda must open. But nothing I do has any effect on the support. I've tried to light it on fire to no avail. I've tried jumping up and down on the bridge above the support, and at the end where leverage would be greatest, but I don't seem to be massive enough to budge it.

Outside of the far second-floor door is a balcony area. I found the box I can push around to get up on the low pillar, and from there I can get on the high pillar near the rope. Nothing I do has any effect on the rope. I can't get there in time with my stick on fire to try to burn it. I can whack it, which makes it vibrate a little. I can't hang from it. I can't find any way to get up on the roof.

TL;DR: What do I do after I make the chandelier fall? Please give gentle nudges at first, with increasingly blatant hints in spoiler tags.

texts:
I'm talking about Tomb Raider multiplayer. I'm getting the sense that, similarly to Battlefield 2, instead of a headshot dealing 100% damage or otherwise setting the targeted player as dead, headshots merely deal extra damage. Which is the case?

This is important because it determines whether or not that I should focus solely on higher-skill-ceiling accuracy and firing-rate stats (relying on getting headshots), or try to balance these with damage for the weapons that I use if not enough damage means the head-shots won't even kill in one shot anyway.

What about uncharged competition bow headshot? What about a fully charged non-competition bow headshot against a player with the skill that reduces arrow damage? And analogical situations with other weapons?

texts: Upgrading PS4 Pro to SSD, update file cannot be found

texts:
I'm trying to swap out the stock 1TB HD in my PS4 Pro, for a newly-purchased 1TB SSD. This should be really straight forward but I'm having nothing but problems, seemingly centered around my USB stick(s).

I have a 4GB stick that I pretty much only use for the PS4. It's empty except for a folder called "PS4" and and inside that, a folder called "UPDATE". Inside the update folder I put the full fresh-install update file (the 1GB one). Swapped out the HD and booted into safe mode, and I have gotten 3 different errors at different times:

USB device needs to be formatted as ex-FAT (I seemed to be getting this because my external USB HD was still connected. Disconnecting it made this error go away).
Update file not found
USB device is not connected

I have reformatted the USB drive many times under Windows 10 making sure it's MBR, and have tried both Fat32 and exFat filesystems. I also tried another 16GB USB stick that was exFat already and had some PC stuff on it. I added the PS4/UPDATE path, and dropped in the update file. No luck with that one either. I've also tried both front USB ports.

I have also freshly formatted the SSD drive as exFat, without assigning a drive letter in Windows, but it didn't help.

The main recurring error now, is that the update file is not found The USB storage device is not connected (SU-41333-4).  It's clearly there, the paths are right, everything seems fine that I can see... so what's the problem here?

texts: Why does the item elevator only worked when oriented north/south?

texts:
I made a slight modification to the item elevator outlined in this video - namely, I shifted the redstone ladder after the first block forward one block to minimize the horizontal footprint.

When the redstone ladder is oriented north/south, it works exactly like the one in the video - it's completely silent and will move all items placed in the intake to the top, with nothing remaining. However, when the ladder is oriented east/west, each dropper clicks once with the first item, and an item is left behind in every odd dropper, starting at the third dropper and continuing for the rest of the elevator.

I tested all four orientation of the elevator but only included two in these screenshots. I also tested different signal pulsers and different input/output directions, with the same result. The elevators are identical except for orientation - the one with green wool on top works, the one with red doesn't. The glazed terracotta is pointing north.

texts:
My minecraft game has been crashing alot lately, and i dont kow why. It also happens with other games and i frequently get blue screen errors. I believe it is a hardware problem but does this crash log support that idea? The error i usually get it "exception_access_violation" but i sometimes get "exception_illegal_instructuion"
A few things:

My system can run minecraft, i used to be able to play Minecraft with no issues at an amazing frame rate (usually 90 to 160)

texts: Kill cam shows player not being affected by concussion grenade; is this a perk or a hack?

texts:
While playing Call of Duty Black Ops (original PC version) there was a very high scoring player that appeared to be unaffected by my concussion grenades. I would throw a concussion grenade right in front of him but then he'd kill me instantly after. The playback on the kill cam shows he was completely unaffected the grenade. No slowing down, no disorientation, no ringing on the ears; it was like there was nothing done to him at all.

I know the Flack Jacket perk will make you stronger against claymores and other explosives, but I don't think it blocks the effects of concussion grenades.

I do not believe lag was the issue as the playback showed the grenade exploding right in-front of the player, which is alway what I saw when I threw it. My ping on that server is always in the low 20s - 30s and the other player never appeared to lag when I saw him or her.

Is there a perk that blocks concussion grenades or was this player likely invoking some kind of cheat or hack?

To address n_palum's comment, I'm not complaining about "losing" as he/she suggested. I run my own CoD server and would like to know how to identify hackers and cheaters. "Is there a perk that blocks concussion grenades or was this player likely invoking some kind of cheat or hack?" is a perfectly valid question and I believe it adds value to this site.


texts: Is there any way I can change the targeting reticule?

texts:
The targeting reticule in Antichamber is very minimalist (likely the intention), merely a small white dot with a thin black circle. While I'd normally appreciate the unintrusive UI, I sometimes suffer from motion sickness when playing games from a first person POV, and the combination of the low FOV and the fact that the targeting reticule so easily blends in with the background makes it so I can play this game only in very short sittings before I start to feel ill.

While the low FOV contributes to this, I'm loath to change the FOV because of the number of puzzles I've come across so far that change depending on the direction you're looking or actually require you to be looking in a different direction. Seeing as I'd like to try to play the game "as intended" as possible, I'd prefer only to do this as a last resort. I figure if I can at least give my eyes something more obvious to focus on, it will help prevent me from becoming so quickly nauseated.

Is there any way I can easily replace the file for the targeting reticule with something custom made that's a bit larger/obvious? I know the game's made in the Unreal Engine, so I figure there should be a way to do this. I have no experience modding the Unreal Engine 3 at all though, so thorough steps would be appreciated. I'm running this on a Windows 7 PC.

The endings I've heard about are:

Huey's ending

texts: How to make redstone lamps light up one by one?

texts:
I want to make this : I have one button and three redstone lamps (lamp 1, 2 and 3). If I press the button once, the lamp 1 will turn on and will stay turned on. Then if I press the button a second time, this is the 2nd lamp that will turn on and stay turned on (and not the 1st nor the 3rd, the first will turn off), if I press the button a third time, the third lamp will turn on, and finally, if I press the button a fourth time, the first lamp will light up, ...

Each time I press the button, the lamp that is turned on will turn off and the next lamp will turn on (except for the last lamp, in which case, the first lamp will turn on)

I want to make this, without using any piston and easily generalizable to any number of lamps.

Thanks.

I am pretty early into the game and got one of the council missions for rescuing a VIP.

I wasn't sure whether the VIP was in firing range of the alien, took a chance to move him to better cover and got shot down.

While in this case, the Alien wasn't too far away from the VIP, it was far enough that I was debating that he might be out of range. Is there any way to check the range or other in-game cues to go by to determine the range of the Alien?

As an Alpha Clone, I don't have access to the Cloaking skill and I'm also limited to Tier 1 frigates, destroyers, and cruisers. (If I were to subscribe, I'd have level 4 Cloaking and access to Covert-Ops cloaks as well as access to several T2 hulls including most covert-ops hulls).

texts: Can I tell if a Pokemon came from an egg or was the starter?

texts:
Is there any way to tell if a Pokemon was my starter, or was one I hatched from an egg?

Obviously I could favorite / rename them at the time, but if I didn't do that is there any way to tell now?

The journal doesn't seem to include hatching events either, or that would be some help.


texts: When I was trying to complete the Speedstar quests, I plugged in all of my movement speed plug-in chips to help my chances of winning. However, I got the notification once I plugged a few in that the cap is +20% for movement speed. Are there other caps for the plug-in chips and if so, what are they?

Is it possible to save both of the X-Men during the Blackheart encounter in Mephisto's Realm?

I have tried almost everything I can think of, but haven't yet found a way to save BOTH characters. Is it possible or am I just wasting my time in vain?

texts: I purchased a game through a retailer, finished the game, then traded the game in, I then tried downloading the game through the PS store around a year later when it was super cheap  and it wouldn't let me download it, can anyone tell me why? Cheers

I was riding my bike along and this UI element appeared and I don't know how to clear it. I tried drinking from my Cantine, but I think that's for Stamina which is the blue bar.

What is this red bar telling me about?


texts:
Since completing the main campaign for Watch Dogs I've bought the season pass which gives a few more missions, a digital trip and a "new" campaign featuring the hacker T-Bone. Thing is, I can't find out how you actually play them - there's nothing in the in-game Additional Content menu and some online sites say "released August"...with it being nearly the end of August I still can't see them.

Have the missions been released yet, and if so, how can I play them?

texts: Are there any differences between the different races in Starbound, besides starting items and how their equipment look?


texts: I've seen this in a few rooms now, but there are what I assume to be reflective surfaces in a these rooms. I've got quite a shard collection and I've tried each of them, but none of them seem to work here. What do you need to do to get past these areas?


texts: Is there a finite amount of foxes/wolves/horkers, etc.?

texts: Since the corpses of all the wild animals I kill seem to exist in the world forever, I can't help wonder if there is limited supply of these creatures. If not, how long before new ones are created? And will the dead animal bodies ever decompose?


texts:
Where can I buy these? I am pretty sure (i.e. I checked) the following locations:

Nos Astra Sporting goods
Batarian State Arms
Sitra Suplies
Kassa Fabrication
Aegohr Munitions
Spectre Requisitions
Cipritine Armory
Elkoss Combine Arsenal Supplies

Kinda frustrating that a Paladin X only has like 40 shots with level II magazine upgrade.


texts:
Sometimes during missions your objective changes, I have tried Spy missions turning in Extermination missions, Capture missions turning in to Spy missions etc.

Is this random or a preset event for some missions?


texts: What are the possible types and odds of mystery meats?

texts: The question arises because to me it seems not worth eating. It is worth eating when it comes to the chance of negative effects?


texts: What's different in the 3 versions of Kingdom Hearts 2?

texts: More of less the same thing i asked here but this time referring to Kingdom Hearts 2 as i have played the PAL Release on PS2 and would like to know the differences between that and Final Mix and what may have been added to that in 2.5 HD Remix

I have been playing Jewels in my phone and I am wondering about which one is the best strategy to follow to achieve the best score posible in a normal game

I have the following hypothesis:

try to get rid of jewels from the bottom of the screen first: This could generate more chain reactions since more parts of the board are affected, but could destroy existing opportunities. it also puts more 'entropy' into the board so it may be more difficult to run out of moves
try to get rid of jewels from the top of the screen first: this would prevent the
destruction of opportunities, so I can get groups in the top and then in the bottom, but the effects of the changes are not so great so there is less chance for chain reactions. also I might run out of moves faster.

these are the most obvious ones. but is there any way to tell which one is better.
Also, I know we can come up with some complex algorithm to achieve better results. Let's keep it simple and imagine that I will only plan one move at a time.


texts: Are cast-animations on stealthed allies visible to enemies?

texts:
I recently played as Sona together with Twitch on bottom lane and that question came up:

If my Twitch ally is stealthed and I cast one of my abilities which affects him, can the enemy team see where the animation goes and do I give his position away to our enemies?


texts: How to open Aster Strongboxes in Kingdom of Amalur?

texts:
I searched internet for an answer but all I found was that I need to find a gravestone that gives me "half an amulet" which then starts a questline that will reward me a key to these chests.

What is the name of the quest line and where can I find these gravestones?

Thanks!

I have installed Doom Classic Complete from steam (I am running Windows 8):

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/18397/

Now I would like to try:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom-redemption

which I have downloaded. First I have downloaded and unpacked:
http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom/

Next I have extracted Brutal Doom Redemption to that same folder above:

But when I run gzdoom.exe it just starts up as before. How do I load Doom Brutal Redemption MOD?

EDIT/SOLUTION:

Seems the solution is just to drag BDJR.pk3.bak onto gzdoom.exe:

Is it possible to have Lydia move into a homestead with you? I have checked the wiki, and it does not say if it is possible for her to move in with you there after you have married her.

After i built the manor in Hjaalmarch, I selected the dialog option 'I think we should move somewhere else' with Lydia , trying to get her to move into the manor with me. However, the only options were for us to move either into her home or into Breezehome.

How can i get her to live there with me?
