texts: Why did this explosion make me fat? (A land mine increased my weight)

texts:
You drop a dwarvish mattock. Your movements are now unencumbered.
You see here a tin. KAABLAMM!!! You triggered a land mine! Your movements are slowed slightly because of your load. You fall into a pit!

Why did this happen? I picked up some scale mail, and became burdened. So I dropped my dwarvish mattock (I still have a pickaxe). That un-burdened me. I walked over to a tin I saw and stepped on a land mine that was suddenly there! I fell into a pit, and then somehow I became burdened again. The tin, meanwhile, flew across the room. (Poor tin.)

How did the explosion increase my weight? Is this a kind of status effect? If so, how could I remove it? The wiki article on land mines mentions nothing about this, and I don't have autopickup on (the tin flew away anyway).


texts:
In the new Target Blast minigame, I'm on a platform with a bomb.  After the first hit, it begins counting down from 10, which it explodes after.  10 seconds is a very long time, so I tend to hit the bomb until it gets to 3 and then smash it out towards the targets.

What does having high damage on the bomb accomplish?  Does it make bigger explosions?  Is there a time that I would want to send the bomb with a lower damage?

The "How to Play Target Blast" does not mention this.  The following 4 pages are all I see in the Target Blast tutorial:

Touch the bomb to start a countdown!  Deal damage to it and then launch it before the explosion!
When the countdown reaches zero...BOOM! It'll destroy everything around it.
You get two tries to bump up your score.  Reach for the top!
Touch Zoom In/Out on the lower screen to see a display of the whole area.


texts: I was wondering about how many seeds are in Minecraft(1.8.7) and how it ocuppies so few disk space? I think that there are a lot of seeds per world type, calculating this also for EVERY customized combinations. I am sure that they are over zillions. Can you tell me the number of seeds?


texts:
Different shooters treat shooting different parts of the body differently.

Many Call of Duty titles only separate the body into two areas: the head, and everything else (with the exception of sniper rifles). On the other hand, I believe that in Battlefield titles you do more damage to the body than to the limbs.

How does this work in Star Wars Battlefront? Do I do more damage hitting the chest than the feet? Does it depend on which weapon I'm using?

texts: Is there any text entry required in-game, after character creation?

texts:
I'm thinking about re-mapping some or all of the controls in The Elder Scrolls: Arena.  I'm currently running under DOSBox, and the only way I can think of to do this would be to re-map the keyboard via the VM's config file.  However, if I do this, I expect it will end up affecting all of my keyboard usage during the session - not just the in-game controls.

If the only time I need to type text freely is during character creation, I consider that an acceptable sacrifice.  Is this the case, or are there quests or other significant interactions which require more text entry?

texts: Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server Reports all Maps are Missing?

texts:
Recently, I installed MetaMod and SourceMod. Since I installed these I have been having the server report that it cannot find any maps. This is strange because when I go on the server as a client, everything seems fine. I have not installed any SourceMod plugins and have taken a picture of the errors here. Note it says a lot more that in the screenshot, but it is just saying the same thing for every map.

I also took a picture of my maps folder (hlserver\tf2\tf\maps) and the maps were all there:

And here is my server running ctf_2fort with no problems!

I think this might actually be a bug in either SourceMod, MetaMod or SteamCMD for reporting it wrong because it clearly does have the maps, and can read them fine. However I do want to find a way to stop these errors.

Also, if you are answering this question as an experienced Source game server administrator you may be interested with helping me with this question here as my server is showing up strange errors before it even reports the missing maps.


texts:
After today's patch I've noticed that whenever I cast Mantra of Healing I got a shimmering bubble around me and my followers, at first I took it simply as an added effect to show that I have the Sustenance rune equipped, but at one point I was hit by a fireball just after using the Mantra and the damage was absorbed which I have not experienced before, leading me to the conclusion that my Mantra somehow did it. However, the description does not state any damage absorption nor do I even have access to the rune that actually adds a shield.

So is this a bug? or a new effect that the tooltip hasn't been updated with?

texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) How to attribute damage to a particular source?

texts:
Let's say that I have an item which allows a player to summon blaze fireballs (minecraft:small_fireball) and shoot them where they are looking. Is it possible for me to somehow attribute damage done by these fireballs to the player that shot them?

When a blaze shoots the fireball and kills a player, the chat says 'Nik3141 was killed by blaze', but when I kill someone else with the fireballs, it says 'Username burned to death'. So the game knows that I am not a blaze shooting the projectile. Other than turning off death messages and trying to do my own custom death messages with tellraw, is it possible for me to make the  chat message say 'Username burned whilst trying to escape Nik3141' or something like that automatically?

This is in a datapack, so anything using advancements is an acceptable solution.

texts: Can you connect 4 wired xbox 360 controllers to one pc?

texts:
I would like to play some steam games I bought with 3 other people. These are games much more suited to a controller however, and I only own two PS4 controllers.

My question is, If I were to buy enough wired Xbox 360 controllers for everyone to use, would they all be able to be plugged in and recognized by a single computer? I have read in other questions that wireless controllers can support up to 4, but I wanted to be sure that the wired ones can do the same before I made the purchase.

As a side note, does anyone have any experience using both ps4 and wired 360 controllers in the same game? If I were using software like DS4Windows would they all just be recognized as 360 controllers or are they incompatible in the same game/computer. Thanks.

texts: How do I complete quest a with an untriggered event in Elder Scrolls Oblivion?

texts:
I seem to have run into a problem. I was playing elder scrolls oblivion the other day, doing the mission "Boots of Springheel Jak" when I found the diary in the coffin, but nothing happened. I saved it and went on to go do other missions and planned on Googling it later. Turns out the NPC was supposed to appear and attack me, but he never did (I assume this was just a bug that caused him not to spawn in) and I saved it in both of my save slots (so I can't restart that mission without restarting the game). Last I seem to have lost the diary, which probably destroyed my last chances of completing the mission without cheating or abusing game physics.

So do I have any way of completing that mission, or am I screwed? If it is possible I wouldn't mind editing the save files.

Edit: I seem to have forgot to mention that I'm on console.


texts: How to get a high, neutral and low signal from a comparator read single chest within the space of a single stack of items?

texts:
I am trying to both take items out of a chest and put the same type of item into the chest so that it will always have less than a full stack of the item but never run out of it either. For this I am using one slice of a standard item sorter with a chest on top keyed to one type of item rather than a hopper and a chest full of the item above the keyed one which feeds into the keyed chest through another hopper. I fill all but one slot with a filler item and some number of the relevant item between 0 and a full stack. When the item reaches 0 or some lower limit the comparator should drop one signal level, unpowering the hopper above the chest and filling it back up till the comparator gives the neutral output again. If the item reaches a full stack or some upper limit the signal should go up one, allowing me to activate the hopper below to funnel the excess into storage.

Is there some combination of filler items which will allow the upper and lower bounds to be within one stack of one another?

texts: How to get the high score leaderboard Rock Band?

texts:
In Rock Band 3 song "Love struck baby", how do I get a higher score for the "improvise (solo)" part? I kept the highest multiplier during the entire song and played 100% flawless. I tried 3 different things during the solo part to make the best score (like adding double base) but the score stayed the same! I want to know how the number one of the world did it.

Is it to play as many notes as possible, to play on many different pads, or is it to play exactly the same as the original part of the song? Or something else.

texts: How can I get a modded minecraft server running smoothly on a personal computer?

texts:
I'm looking to run a modded minecraft server (1.12.2) for myself and a friend to play on. There are quite a few mods we're looking to use, and I'd like to know what I can do to make the server run more smoothly. As of right now, it lags quite a lot, even with a freshly-generated world. Looking around online, all the information I can find feels like it's at least a little bit outdated, and sometimes a lot outdated. So while this is looking to get a particular server up and running, I'd also appreciate anything about generally optimizing performance using current versions of java.

According to LagGoggles, the main culprits seem to be mobs, with one or two (which one changes each time I run it) taking ~20-30 ms per tick each time I run the profiler.

According to warmroast, something is making the game spend a significant amount of time doing pathfinding for sheep, and a significant amount of time is spent in UpdateTimeLightAndEntities, about 80% of the server thread's resources.

Is there a mod that optimizes entity calculations? Or perhaps a way to determine which mods are most adversely affecting performance, so I know which ones to focus on removing or fiddling with configs?

The server is running on a computer with a Ryzen 2200G (probably soon to be upgraded to a 3600, though--hopefully that helps) and 16 GB of DDR4-2666 RAM. It also has a GTX 1060-6GB but I'm reasonably certain the graphics card doesn't matter for this. (would be nice if I could offload some computing load onto it, though.... Is there a way to do that?)

I'm using OpenJDK 8, with the OpenJ9 JVM, starting the server with the command "C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.242.08-openj9\bin\java.exe" -server -XX:+UseG1GC -Xmx8G -Xms8G -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2847-universal.jar. I don't actually know what most of these flags do, but I was told they would help. And I think they did, at least a little, but there's still a lot of lag.

texts: Does the "Impact" weapon proficiency increase all damage?

texts:
According to the CoD wiki and the game itself, Impact only increases damage through surfaces (in a similar manner to Deep Impact and FMJ from previous games).  However, I seem to be experiencing higher damage overall.  It seems that a single burst from my M16 will now take down an enemy with ease as opposed to the 2 or 3 I had to use before using Impact.

Is this a bug, a description error, or am I imagining this behavior?


texts: What is the range for the intercept fighter mission?

texts:
In a recent game, I was trying to do amphibious invasions against a couple tiny-island cities the AI controlled. These two cities were spaced nicely between me and the long, skinny continent that the AI's main cities were located upon, although I could have bypassed them by going a long way around. The fact that they were located in such a defensive position made me attempt to take them rather than trying to form a beachhead and invade at a different location. In retrospect I should have attempted to buy out a nearby CS, land there, and then launch a navy-supported invasion across the land instead. That way I could have had multiple AA guns to defend the rest of the army. I should also note that I was using Thal's Vanilla Enhanced mod which makes the small islands more useful than automatic razes, but it also doesn't affect air missions as far as I know.

I did also forget that carriers could have escorted my fighters much closer to the invading infantry units.

I had one of the cities bombed down to 1 HP with battleships and destroyers, but I could never get an appropriate land unit close enough to capture it. Even when I had my fighters on the intercept mission and a few squares away from the embarked land unit, every turn that I had an embarked unit a turn from capturing, I'd get a message saying I was bombarded and destroyed by an enemy fighter. What radius does the intercept mission protect? Just the city itself?

Is there any other way to protect embarked land units for an invasion other than send like 6 units all at once and hoping a couple survive to take the city?

texts:
The Portal "Edit" menu has a "Report Invalid Portal" button which has the "Duplicate of another Portal" option. In the past we have used this option to report very obvious duplicate portals which should be identified by their photos but those reports were mostly rejected by the NIA operatives. Later we began to use the "Edit Location" button to report duplicates which had both similar photos and were in a short proximity. This kind of duplicate reportings were more succesful than using the "Duplicate" option.

Lately we are observing that the Nia operatives aren't merging the Portals reported with "Location" corrections. We've started to have duplicate Portals which are side by side with just 1-5 meters of distance. Is this some kind of a new Portal policy by Niantic and how can we merge those siamese Portals? Did you observe something like this, too?

On the night of a meteor shower, if multiple players make wishes on shooting stars, do the star fragments wash up the next day for each player according to how many they saw, or do they wash up for all players?

In other words, say Player 1 wishes on 5 stars, Player 2 wishes on 10 stars. The next day, star fragments will wash up on the shore. If Player 1 plays first, could they potentially get all 15 star fragments? or will only their 5 fragments wash up?


texts: When playing (most often as melee) you'll often come across situations where when attacked your character will go through a "hit" animation, and cry out.  When you do this all your attacks (normal or special) are interrupted for a short time, however if you are surrounded by enemies, as you often are as melee, this can happen multiple times in a row; effectively stun locking you to death.  My question is what causes this to happen? And how can you avoid it?

In this question it is claimed that gold for disconnected players will flow to team mates in several different ways:

  @Qubei wrote: Several forum posts say similar things: "The gold of the disconnected player is split to the teammates." and "After abandonment, any gold acquired by the abandoned hero will be evenly distributed between teammates." This is why items on abandon heroes are usually sold: the gold goes to the other players.

Is this true? In what ways (if any) does gold flow from disconnected players to remaining teammates?

In spirit of Stack Overflow I'd share my research, but searching Arqade comes up empty (apart from linked question), and short of ruining a pub, empiricism is out of the question. So: does anyone know?

texts: Is double gas steal a viable strategy in PvP?

texts:
It seems to me that if you send out an early probe (say, before your first pylon) you could steal both of your opponent's gas geysers before they would usually get one. You would have to delay your gateway until about 14 supply. But this should allow you to get warp gate much earlier than your opponent, as well as gas units like stalkers when it would be difficult for your opponent to get sentries to FF your units. This seems even more potent since in PvP, the mantra appears to be "Expand first, lose first"

So, the question is, is this a viable strategy? You could transition from this into a 3-gate-robo, or even into a 4-gate. Yet I have never seen this strategy used at a pro level of play. Is there any reason why this build order is bad? Additionally, what is the best way to counter a double gas steal, if, in fact, there is a very easy counter?

The first quest in Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 on the iPhone demands finding Dudley's presents. I'm able to find the presents and collect all coins but there seems to be 2-3 rooms including Harry' room which are closed.

There are coins in these rooms but I'm not able to enter them as the doors wont budge. After finishing the quest there comes a cut scene involving the letter from Hogwarts and Hagrid coming to take Harry with him.

After the cut scene Harry is straightaway taken to the Pub which has a path to Diagon Alley without giving me a chance to collect those coins which were left in Dudley's house, because I was not able to enter the respective rooms.

Is there any special way to unlock those doors?

I am very new to Dwarf Fortress. I have been making liberal use of the Dwarf Fortress wiki, but I have not been able to solve the following issue:

After butchering an animal, there are bones left in the Butcher workshop.

Here is the scenario: My butcher workshop is next to a refuse stockpile and food stockpile. The food stockpile is linked to the butcher workshop and has the option enabled to only receive items from the butcher workshop. The refuse stockpile is also linked to the butcher workshop, but is enabled to receive items from the entire fortress.

I have seen my tanner make tanned hides from the products of my butcher workshop so I believe that tells me refuse items are being sent to the refuse stockpile.

So, what could be the reason that bones remain in the butcher workshop? Shouldn't they also be placed in the refuse stockpile?

texts: How does the steam market work for different currencies?

texts:
I searched on web and read many article but i still cant understand How do the steam market and its currency converter work? I also wonder why there are so many spikes in some lower valued items like this.
I came across an interesting result when i give an order then removed it. Here is what happened and the screenshots in order.
I gave 10 order for 0.20 TRY and i show it is converted to 0.05$ but it says 0.3$ in activity. (Real currency is 0.20 TRY = 0.037 USD ~ 0.04$) Both 0.20 try and 0.05$ was highest bid on the market.
I thought activity might use different converter and its just for info this might not effect anything but it looks like its not because i found one more thing. I gave 10 order for 0.36TRY another card and it highest bid order like before in my currency i was waiting to be listed for 0.08$ but it is listed for 0.06$.
There was only 1 order for 0.36TRY and 1 order for 0.08$ on the market before i gave order.
I show 11 order 0.36TRY , 1 order for 0.08$ 10 order for 0.06$ after gave my order.
I would understand if the difference was 0.01$ and i would think its rounding issue but it looks like it not. Does anyone have an opinion why that happens? You can try it in your currency and we can discuss.
Note: I did not use steam addons to convert currencies i used chrome incognito tab to see prices in dollar.


texts: Why am I much faster than the record, but not the record holder?

texts: When playing other courses, some times it says the existing record is 99:59.999 seconds. I was obviously much faster, but I didn't get the record. What's gives? Also why is that such a common time to see. It is greater than the 500 seconds allowed.


texts: Does the Sensor Tower sense cloaked units?

texts:
If I see my opponent has a Sensor Tower up, is it still safe to attack with Dark Templar or cloaked Banshees?  Will he see them coming on the minimap?

What about burrowed Roaches?  Will the Sensor Tower still sense those even if it can't sense cloaked units?

I understand that the Sensor Tower is not a detector and will not give vision of the units.  I am inquiring as to whether it will alert the player to the PRESENCE of them, even if you still can't target them without an additional source of detection.


texts: Is there any benefit to using different drivers/blades?

texts:
I will use some approximation if I can to avoid spoilers.

I am at a point in the game where I have 2 extra drivers. I've always played with the 3 from the beginning because after a quest from the beginning of the game where you have a 4th driver, he becomes unavailable permanently at some point so I didn't want to "invest" into some temporary driver. But it looks like these extra 2 will be sticking with me even though they have been removed from my party from time to time due to the story.

I currently have three 5 stars blades (plus some extra 5 stars which I use for mercenary quest only) on each of my three main drivers (heal, dps, tank) with some pretty advanced affinity charts. If I were to switch blade / driver I would have to do it all over again.

Is there any benefit to switch to some other driver with new blades other than the obvious one (personal preference, new blade element for combos)?

To be more precise are some blades / drivers more powerful (like by a big margin which would prevent me from doing the late game or something) ? I'm open to some other aspect I might have overlooked.


texts: How do I disable map rotation entirely on my TF2 server?

texts:
I have a private server. Before use, I just go in, exec a config, and change the level. Annoyingly, the server will sometimes switch to hydro or 2fort if we wait too long before starting a scrim.

I considered removing all maps but one (my desired default) from mapcycle.txt, but it seems like then, it would just switch to that one. I don't want to change mp_timelimit like "24/7 whatever map" servers, because it will get reset whenever I exec a match config anyway.

Can I just remove everything from mapcycle.txt and add something to my server.cfg to load up some particular map, say mge_training_v8_beta2, every time I restart? If so, what would I add? Does mapcycle.txt have to be populated?

Are these types of commands supported in Diablo 3?  How do you access the console?  Are the commands (or the most frequently used ones) listed somewhere?

texts:
L. S.,
I've been playing COC for circa one year. My nephew plays the game a little longer, but when he bought a new cell phone he couldn't switch his COC-account from his Android device to his new Iphone. He was quite sad because he thought he had to start all over again. However, it seemed possible to let him play on his Iphone via my COC account. Unknown of the consequences, I naively agreed to let him play on my COC-account; but now I regret my decision because he does silly things on my COC-account. For example:

base forming the words "your mother is a bitch!!!";
participate in a troll base;
offensive language in the chat;

Et cetera. Et cetera...

I asked him several times to behave and every time he promised me to stop his bad habits. I think he doesn't understand he does something wrong, but I don't want to correct him any longer. I'm not his dad and after three months I've lost my patience. I want him to leave from my account...

My question is if there is an easy way to get rid of him? Of course I can ask him to stop playing on my account, but I want to be sure he can't access my account in the future.

texts: In Skyrim, can I get my companion to change robes?

texts: When you give a companion armor he/she will wear whatever has the highest armor rating regardless of what sort of enchantments it may possess. You also can not remove your companion's basic apparel. So when you get a companion who is a mage, such as J'zargo or Aranea, and you want to equip them with robes they will not wear them because the robes you give them and the robes they already have on both have an armor rating of 0. I've already tried giving them armor with a higher rating so they will take off their basic robes and then take away the armor, but they just put the basic robes back on. Does anyone know how to get their mage companions to switch robes? I'm trying to get J'zargo to wear the Archmage's Robes instead of his Novice Robes of Conjuration.

texts: How does a game become considered "New IP"?

texts:
There are various articles online that state Tom Clancy's The Division is a New IP.

The Official Site includes the following:

  Today, The Division Beta ended and we’re proud to share that more than 6.4 million of you explored the pandemic-stricken streets of New York City, making it the biggest beta ever for a new game brand on current generation platforms.

Various other articles repeat the news by using IP rather than game brand.  VG24/7 reports the news with the opening line:

  Players made The Division’s open beta the biggest beta of a new IP on new consoles.

Gamespot has an article that includes this observation:

  The Division is technically a new IP, though it carries the familiar Tom Clancy name.

This is repeated in more detail on Geek:

  All of this is rather impressive for a new IP. However, it should be noted that though The Division is technically a new IP, it is still under the umbrella of the Tom Clancy name. Whether or not this contributed to the beta’s popularity is unknown, but it is worth mentioning regardless.

My conclusion from this game alone is that although the new game shares elements of the IP from previous Tom Clancy games (including the name, game engine and other elements), it is considered a new IP because it has a new story unrelated to other games.

However, if you apply this to other games you don't get the same conclusion.  Take the Far Cry game series also from the same publishers.  Almost every single game has a completely unrelated story (even more so with Far Cry Primal).

What makes a game New IP?


texts:
I am currently playing Idle Heroes on iPhone. You are able to "fuse" your heroes to so called methods. But I am unsure, what happens to my heroes when I fuse them.

texts: Why can Computer-A see Computer-B's LAN World, but not vice-versa?

texts:
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with the LAN World feature in Minecraft: Java Edition. When I attempt to share my world with another computer on my network, they cannot see it when they enter multi-player mode.

However, when they try to share their world with me, I can see it an interact with it as expected.

I'm puzzled that my computer can see their LAN World, but they cannot see mine.

What sort of issue does this behavior indicate? Has anyone else experienced it?

I've performed a modest search for this issue on the web and here on SE, but I couldn't find anyone else who reported the same behavior. (It's possible that I wasn't using effective search terms as I'm not even sure if there's a name for the sort of behavior I'm experiencing.)


texts: Strict NAT in Torchlight 2 & Dead Space 3

texts:
In both Torchlight 2 and Dead Space 3 I get the message "Strict NAT Detected". I can play online in Torchlight 2 but it's slow. Dead Space 3 can't connect to other players at all.

I've forwarded the ports posted by EA for Dead Space 3 (source):

TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300

I also forwarded the ports posted on portforwarding.com

In Torchlight 2's local settings file I've also added a UDP PORT.
(C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2)

Both games are allowed through the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials.
UpNp is activated and I have the Thomson-Alcatel TG789vn router.

I tried using 3G with internet sharing using my iPhone and the errors are gone, though I can't use it since it's too slow.

Still I get the message in both games. Is there anything else I could try?

texts:
I found this Diablo 2 video ("Andariel 1000 runs").

In the first seconds of the video, there is a sort of multiple steps teleport to reach and beat Andariel in about 30 seconds. In the rest of the video, there is a comment about the drops of the 1000 runs.

I suppose that the character has optimized high-level gear to beat it, but I do not understand how he can get to the boss so fast.

I have seen similar "quick teleport to boss" in other videos - can you explain to me how he can go so fast from base to the boss?

Of course, sorceress teleport (or armor with enigma) is involved, but from the video, it seems something like "waypoint, teleport, teleport, teleport, boss" and I do not understand the trick.

texts: What's the cheapest way to destroy a hostile laser tower?

texts:
In the treasure map quest, the player has to destroy a set of laser towers.

The only problem is that they more powerful and longer range than my own lasers. Also the tenacious towers can apparently shoot down longer range missiles (I learned to my dismay), as well as possessing powerful shields.

What's the best way to take these things out?

My current plan is to save up for some exotic expensive long range laser or ammunition weapon but I'm not sure which one.  My backup plan is to buy a huge warship and outgun them at close range using an array of expensive shields.

Still, I'm not sure what's the most efficient way to spend money to overcome this obstacle.

What's the cheapest way to take out a set of hostile laser towers with a range of, at least, 5km and fairly powerful shields?

Do you know what I'm talking about? The normal google images searches you would expect to work are not giving me any good results.

Thanks in advance!

Diablo has a number of attacks, some are extremely deadly at close range. Although he has an obvious "charge-up" animation for most abilities, some are very short.

texts: I've read the manual (I think all of the relevant parts anyway). My main Baldur's Gate character is a specialist mage (Transmuter, Half-Elf). She is well into 2nd level and looking good as far as I can tell. Since she is not fully human, she is supposed to be able to multi-class, right? From what I can see, she should have been able to start multi-classing when she got her first promotion (from 1st level mage to 2nd). It wasn't an option when she leveled-up, and the greyed out portion of her information screen reads dual-class (which I don't want). I want to start multi-classing her to Mage/Fighter ASAP. I sure hope I don't have to start over to get the character I want, it's just now getting fun! (We just cleared out the mines and we have some money for a change, PARTY!)


texts:
I am trying to create handheld torches in vanilla minecraft with command blocks. I already have the way to detect a torch in hand and everything, now all i need is a way to get the lighting to that player.

The problem i have here is when i setblock a torch (setblock ~ ~ ~ torch), i have to fill an area around them with air (air 0 replace torch) to prevent them getting free torches.  This does not fix that problem, as they can look down and break that torch and get the item. Is there a better way?

(PS. with end rod in 1.9 snapshots, they can't be passed through so you get stopped  while walking.)

EDIT: to clarify, I am trying to get this working in a survival scenario, a player is going through a cave mining, so instead of placing torches they just switch to the torch to get light when they need it.

But when I eat it shows this:

It says something equipped some gear (armor) when I eat. I didn't manage to hear the sound while eating (if there is any). So, is this a bug (does the game think I'm equipping some gear), or is this on purpose?

Also I sometimes see "minecraft rolls". I'm playing on vanilla Minecraft version 1.10.2 and I didn't notice this in any older version.

In Battlefield 4, the description of TRI BEAM LASER is as follows:

  Triple Beam laser sight that provides the normal benefits of a laser
  sight, but with three individual dots for rapid sight acquisition.

Now we all know that all laser sights improve the weapon's hip fire accuracy by reducing the weapon's hip fire spread and have a blinding effect on enemies when up close. But I've been wondering from the times when Battlefield 3 came up, what "rapid sight acquisition" means in weapons terminology.

Does the laser beam "stick" to the enemies that are very very close to (but NOT on) your crosshairs? Does it guide you even by a little amount by rapidly acquiring targets automatically?

Please don't just say "No", provide some facts and evidence.

texts: How can I easily pre-determine what sort of armor a follower will prefer?

texts:
Spun off from this answer:  My housecarls won't stay dressed!

Apparently, certain characters will just outright refuse to keep on any clothes that don't meet their particular preference.  For some it might be Heavy Armor, for some it might be Light Armor, and I'm sure others prefer robes or plain clothes.

Is there a way (maybe a list I haven't found yet?) to determine who would like to wear what, before giving them any items?

Also, all the housecarls I've had so far seem to come standard with Steel Armor.  Does this mean they all prefer Heavy Armor?


texts: Beating The Demon Stink (Against the Cockroaches Part 2)

texts:
I have been trying all sorts of strategies on this level, and I haven't come up with something that works yet.  This is the level where Morvin the Malod... is sitting on one of the star squares, chilling out and racking up a star each round.  There are 6 cockroaches on the field as well.

I have tried to defeat the cockroaches quickly and then go after Morvin, but by the time I get there, I run out of turns and he gets enough stars to win.  The closest I have come is one time where my main character had a triple kill card at the right time, and I was able to kill 3 cockroaches at the same time.

I have tried to just move to him as quickly as possible, but usually one or two of my players dies before I get there.  I have also tried to equip anything that will give me more movement, but I seem to do even worse.

Cleanse doesn't help because Morvin just puts his stink card back on my player after it has been removed.  It seems like he has an unreasonable number of cards in his hand, because he attacks a lot.  It also doesn't help that I can't use any cards to move him off of the square, because he always uses Immobility.

Does anyone out there have a good strategy for getting past this level?  It's driving me crazy, and I don't want to buy pizza.  :)

Most of the perks on the Smithing skill tree seem to unlock new material/construction types that can be crafted. The description is always along the lines of:

As far as I can tell I can still only perform a single upgrade of these items at the grindstone or smithing bench, and many items still only improve in damage or protection by 1.

So what does "improve them twice as much" mean in this context?

I've recently updated from w7 to w10 and reinstall Black Desert, and I was wandering which files I have to copy to keep my game settings(notifications, graphics, audio, and other game settings such as chat and hide or show pets and names)
basically everything.

Also i have the same computer but a different SSD with W10 instead of w7.

So two questions:

Which files do i have to copy?

Do have to change anithing?(I'm concerned of paths like C://user/...)


texts: What is the rule of how many new quests you get at one day in Hearthstone 4.X?

texts:
I was always eager not to have 3 quests at the end of a day, because I didn't want to miss the quest for the next day. Now I was on vacation and didn't play for several days. When I returned I completed all 3 quests at one day and the next day I got 3 new quests. Again, I completed them and I got 2 new quests on the next day.

What is the rule behind in the current Hearthstone version 4.X ? Can you actually miss quests if your quest log is full? Or is there an internal queue or something?

The question was already asked in 2014 for Hearthstone 1.X here: How many daily quests are stored internally?
The answer does not apply to the current version, unfortunately.

texts:
The Staff of Herding's specific reagents are rare drops, specifically Act 2's Liquid Rainbow and Act 3's Gibbering Gemstone. My friends and I have already spent hours farming these to no avail. Is there anything I can do to influence these drops? Perhaps Magic Find or changing the difficulty? Is there any way to reliably predict whether the dungeon or chest/monster has spawned from other nearby features? (Is the Liquid Rainbow always in the front of the cave? Is there always only one Unique in Caverns 2?)

texts:
In Tomb Raider multiplayer, there are six DLC weapons that can be bought. They refer to Hitman: Absolution.

Tomb Raider: Hitman: Absolution Weapons Pack
Agency SPS 12 (shotgun)
HX AP-15 (rifle)
Silverballer (pistol)

Tomb Raider: Hitman: Absolution Weapons Pack 2
JAGD P22G (pistol)
M590 12ga (pump shotgun)
STG 58 Elite (rifle)

I don't know of a way to check their stats before purchase except by asking someone else who already has them. What are their stats (good resolution screenshots)? Is it also true that at least one of the weapons' sound is suppressed?


texts: Why are my sniper rifles overheating in Mass Effect?

texts:
I just started my second playthrough of the original Mass Effect on PC, and every time I fire a sniper rifle it overheats. This happens regardless of which sniper rifle I have equipped (one is listed at 1.2 shots before overheat, the other 1.3. I'm not very far in yet).

Perhaps I'm simply misremembering, but I believe in my previous playthrough I could fire, wait for heat to dissipate, then fire again without overheating. Now it just overheats after every shot.

Is this a bug? Is there some debuff on me that's causing this? Or something else?

texts: Stuck on Cutscene in Dishonored - What Can I Do?

texts:
My Problem

So, today I got the game Dishonored on Steam and I've been trying it out. Unfortunately, I can't get past the first five minutes or so of the game because I get stuck on the conversation with the little girl Emily. After she's done talking, she just kind of stops, stands still and stares at me. Forever.

I can look around and see other people moving in the vicinity, and I can open the menu. However, If I try to load any games or go back to the main menu or anything, it loads for an indefinitely long time. I also get indefinitely long loads when trying to play things from the "Missions" section. These last 15+ minutes - at that point I figured they weren't going anywhere, considering that loading the actual game only takes a few seconds.

The prior cutscene with the boat works fine.

Unusual Circumstances/Potential Causes

I'm running this on Linux (specifically Fedora 20) with Wine (specifically version 1.7.8). I don't think the problem is with Wine; as I'm running both Steam and Dishonored in terminals I'm not getting any error messages or warnings at the point I get stuck. It's not really characteristic of most of the Wine issues I've had in any case. It's also very uncharacteristic of a graphics issue (I am using the open source drivers though which have only recently started working for me for games). Additionally, the game is rated very highly for Wine compatibility and no-one mentions similar issues, you can see the appdb page here. Both are vague possibilities, though.

What I've Discovered

I've found instances of similar problems, most notably this YouTube video. I've found comments about the same issue to the effect it goes away when you leave the area. However, I am obviously not capable of blinking around as the game has just started.

I am getting pretty frustrated with this as I've spent several hours in the game and researching the issue without ever progressing beyond the first five minutes. What, if anything, can be done about this? Thank you for any assistance.

EDIT: After resetting basically everything (new Wineprefix, new Steam install, new download and install of Dishonored) I got it to work...for a few hours. Most of the original issues returned after restarting the game, though I haven't tested the cutscene itself since I'm past that point now. I will add the additional comment that Steam does part of the "first time set up" every time I start the game, reinstalling DirectX and the VCRUN redistributable.

texts:
Hey my buddy got "The Last of us" in his PS3 bundle and I got hooked on it for about 7 hours,

He let me borrow the game, now when I tried taking the save copy over to my system it says I can't save or earn trophies because it's from another user.

He never set up his PSN log in but had a user set up, anyway I made him finish setting up his PSN thinking it would somehow link. So I logged into that but I get the same error.

What is this save file linked to? It's probably not his gamertag because he didn't set up the PSN before we started playing. How can I get this to work?

texts: how to add multiple players to a level specific team in minecraft

texts:
I'm on snapshot 15w41b by the way.
So I set up a bunch of teams that I'm using as ranks in vanilla Minecraft, and then set up a row of command blocks that use the /testfor command that have comparators running from them to another command block that has the /scoreboard join command.

So it's like this: command block with /testfor @p[lm=30,l=49], and then a comparator running from it to another command block with /scoreboard teams join (team) @p[lm=30,l=49]. It works perfectly but only for one player; for some reason it won't add two players to the same team when they reach level 30. I also tried different selectors like @a and (player name) but they didn't work any better.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I also have hooked up my AE network to this but I don't want to use it all the time.

How can I switch certain parts of this powered electrical network on and off in order to only run certain things at certain times without having to break the copper wires?

I know VR headsets are not supposed to have amazing picture quality but it is really quite bad when I am playing, especially when I am playing pavlov, I can barely see enemies that are 10m+ from me. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be much appreciated if you could let me know :) Thanks.


texts: What invalidates "before they spread" events besides letting the incident spread?

texts:
I have the challenge to "Defeat 6 Radroach infestations before they spread".  Several times I have had Radroach incidents which spontaneously appear in a dweller-filled room (or due to a rush failure).

The dwellers defeat the RadRoaches before another room is affected ("before it spreads"), but the defeat does not register to the challenge.  Why is this happening?

I have experienced similar disqualifications with the "Survive a Deathclaw incident without casualties" not registering to a challenge , even though I have lost no dwellers.

What causes this sort of incident to be disqualified BEYOND the obvious "letting the incident spread" to other rooms? I suspect one or more of the following actions could cause disqualification in the way I'm experiencing:

Moving dwellers to/from the incident to/from another room?
Moving dwellers between non-incident rooms during the incident?
Healing a dweller in the room with a stimpack?
Having pregnant dwellers abandon the room?
Having Coffee Break dwellers walk (run) through the incident room?
Changing a dweller's equipment during the incident?
Leveling or skilling a dweller during the incident?
Collecting a room's product during the incident?

Please explain what the unexplained "hidden" disqualifier(s) is.

/data get entity @s[nbt={Inventory:[{tag:{"#minecraft:wool":1}}]}]

Something i have been wondering since i started the game is how exactly do the different phases work in game and how do they affect my contact with other players?

texts: Dwarf Fortress HUD & LazyNewbPack / PeridexisErrant border and numbers

texts:
This question is almost a duplicate of What exactly is displayed on the left and right borders of the screen? That question nicely covers most of my HUD questions (I've labeled my question this way to make that question easier to find along with this extra info.)

The LazyNewbPack (now PeridexisErrant) adds one additional info section on the bottom right of the page. Mine currently reads as follows:

H: 1/0/3/1/15/0/0

What are the meanings of those values if we give those sections corresponding letters like this:

H: A/B/C/D/E/F/G

I can only assume that E (15) represents dwarfs. Beyond that, I have no clue.


texts: What sort of DRM does Kingdoms of Amalur have on the PS3?

texts:
I've just given the Kingdoms of Amalur demo a spin on my PS3 and I have to say I found it most enjoyable (with the horrible facial animations, or lack thereof, serving only as a mild distraction).

However, I couldn't help noticing that once I fired up the demo, it performed all sorts of suspicious things like authenticating with EA servers. I also had to agree to two massive end user license agreements, and was heartily encouraged to create an Origin account.

This is a new and daunting experience for me on the PS3, as I thought this sort of nonsense only happened on the PC. And that got me wondering what sort of DRM restrictions does the game impose on me when played on the PS3. Of specific concern are the two following points:

Does the game require an active online connection to function? What happens if it can't get in touch with its mysterious EA servers?
What is it that I am agreeing to in those massive agreements? Anything related to Origin is notoriously devious. Am I allowing some sort of information to be collected?

Any other information on the matter would also be greatly appreciated.


texts:
The scrolling bug in Age of Empires II is rather well-known. It has been mentioned at Gaming, too. The problem is that, in-game, the view constantly scrolls to the left and upwards. And the game is totally unplayable. It happens almost every time I try to play the game, except for the rare cases when I have just restarted the computer.

I have not any Zune software installed.
I have a high-end computer running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit, Intel i7 CPU and nVidia GPU, with the latest graphics drivers and OS updates.
The problem is resolved by a computer restart.

But it is not acceptable to have to restart the computer every time you want to play the game. At least not to me. In addition, I can't believe there is no other solution.

Indeed, a simple model of this problem is that there is a ScrewThingsUp flag on the computer. This is set to false when the OS starts, but is eventually set to true, by some (as far as I know) unidentified process. Has anyone identified this process? In any case, has anyone found a way to reset the flag to false?

texts:
As most minecraft command makers know, entering ~ instead of a coordinate number results in the relative position of the executing entity. Apparently, the /tp command has a special property with relative coordinates.

I am trying to make a command that teleports all other entities to the same position as the player, but on a absolute Z value. This will make a third person, 2D-looking effect. Here's my command:

execute @p ~ ~ ~ /tp @e[type=!Player,r=20] ~ ~ -645

This does not work. In the /tp command, it appears that the ~s are no longer relative to the executing entity, but the entity being teleported.

A similar command works like I expect it to. It places a  block at the player's position, but again at a fixed z position:

execute @p ~ ~ ~ /setblock ~ ~ -650 minecraft:stone

I am wondering how to make the ~s in the /tp command to execute relative to the executing entity, not the entity being teleported.

Both the commands are inside a repeating, non-conditional, redstone-requiring command blocks. They are both powered by levers.

I am on Minecraft 1.12 Mac edition, singleplayer world.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!


texts: How can I remap the keybindings for containers in Skyrim?

texts:
The interface for containers in Skyrim is driving me nuts. On the chest side, press E and you take the ingredient. Change to your inventory side, press E and you eat the item, instead of dropping it in to the box.

On the other hand, I have emptied the whole chest countless times, because the R key moves one item from your inventory into the container, but all items the other way round.

Is there any way to change this behavior? Mods like "Interface Hard Coded Key Tweaks" only seem to be able to change the whole group of functions a key can be bound to in different situations (meaning that I could bind "Take" and "Eat" on another key, but not on different keys).

texts: Downloaded car design does not appear in car selection or my designs menu

I had some cars in Forza 5, Forza Horizon 2 and recently in Forza 6 where I downloaded a design for a car but it would not be permanent.

In Horizon 2 I remember selecting a design that would apply on the car but not to the thumbnail. I could drive races and championships with the design but when I switch for another car and back the design would be gone.

In Forza 5 I remember that I downloaded designs for several cars successfully, leaving the game and shutting down the console, on next launch some designs were missing. I tried it several times with one car, it was reproducible.

In Forza 6 it's a bit different (to Horizon, since there is no open world mode) and the design will not apply to the car at all.

In all of these cases I can find designs for all the other cars in the my designs menu, but not for these cars.

Is there a solution?
Which cars are affected?

texts: Can't seem to achieve free destruction spells in Skyrim?

texts:
This is my apparel:

Robes : 25% Destruction + 25% Conjuration spell reduction cost

Ring:   25% Destruction + 25% Conjuration spell reduction cost

Also, I've got the perk for "Cast Adept spells for Half Magicka" perk in the destruction tree. But Ice Storm spell, which is Adept level, still costs me magicka and I'm out in about 9 dual casts with 600 magicka (nothing like the vids on youtube where it costs nothing to cast them).

I've used Grand Soul gems for enchanting my stuff. Is this the reason they don't work? I've also added/removed my apparel, but though the reduction shows up in 'active effects', it doesn't do anything.

Help, please?

EDIT: I've just been reading up, and sorry, I did not notice that you need to enchant 4 pieces of apparel with 25%. This works, true, but then the perks of cost reduction are completely pointless right? What is the reason for those perks, can someone please clarify?

texts: How does the copper experience pig work?

texts: The copper experience pig increases other ninja tool experience, but what exactly does that mean? As far as I can tell, ninja tools can only gain experience through combining like items. Does buying this item just instantly raise all ninja tools by X amount?
