I'm at Gen 6 so I need to get 50 rodeo kills to move on to the next generation.  However, despite destroying Titan after Titan while rolling the Spitfire LMG with the Slammer upgrade, I'm not getting any credit.

It seems connected to when I doom a Titan, the kill log will say the weapon was [Spitfire LMG], not [Rodeo].  I don't quite get what counts as a "rodeo" kill if not dooming it while rodeo'd (or is that just it; doom ≠ kill?).


texts: How is base income calculated in Greed Corp?

texts: In the first few turns, there is a base income of 10 gold per turn. Later, this rises steadily, but how exactly is the value calculated? Does it simply increase after a certain number of turns, or does it depend on the player's actions in any way?

texts: In Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, when you level-up a character, you can use any number of training droids (from 1 to however many you have) just to gain 1 level. Why use several? Does it give you better chance at high bonuses? If so, at what point does using more give no more advantage?


texts: How to spawn falling sand with Motion using a spawner minecart

texts:
I was trying to make a spawner minecart fountain for like 3 hours and couldn't find anything that helped me on Google.
With the /summon command, the Minecart could spawn entities with passengers, entities with so many other NBT types but still cannot spawn with Motion:[0.0,1.0,0.0].
This was my command:
/summon spawner_minecart ~ ~1 ~ {SpawnCount:1s,SpawnPotentials:[{Weight:1, Entity: {id: "minecraft:falling_block",DropItem:0b,Motion:[0.0,1.0,0.0],Time:1b}}],SpawnRange:2s,Delay:5s,MaxSpawnDelay:5s,MinSpawnDelay:4s,MaxNearbyEntities:3s,SpawnData:{id:falling_block,Time:1b,Motion:[0.0,1.0,0.0],DropItem:0b},RequiredPlayerRange: 10}

It spawns sand blocks that just fall right down. Is there any way I can fix this?


texts: How to enter SWTOR's Flashpoint "The Esseles" in Veteran mode?

texts:
My friend and I are starting a playthrough of SWTOR. We've done the Flashpoint "The Esseles" on Story Mode a few times now, and wanted to try it on Veteran Mode. However, whatever we try, we always end up in a Story Mode version.

The steps we take:

Group up freshly
Start conversation to pick up the quest
Both choose "Veteran Mode" when the options in the chat wheel pop up
Both make sure the "Mission Difficulty Preference" is set to "Veteran"
Make sure the instance phase has been reset, to prevent old instances from troubling us
Run into the instance

However:

The result: we get thrown into a Story Mode flashpoint, and a related Story Mode quest pops up
Expected: starting the Veteran Mode flashpoint

Here's a screenshot of most of the above points visible:

Is there some trick or setting we need to use to enter "The Esseles" on Veteran Mode?

texts: What determines how quickly a ship repairs?

texts:
After a battle, more often than not a player's ships can become quite damaged and will take a lengthy amount of time to repair.  The regular repair rate for a ship seems to be about 1hp per turn, but I'm not at all sure if this is the norm and what factors affect how quickly a ship is repaired.

What are the rules around ship repair?

Does returning a ship to a starbase, shipyard, planet or friendly territory cause a ship to repair faster?  If so by what degree?

Is there a roughly general strategy you can use to get this achievement?

Should I go for a golden longsword in health shops and a ring of war or a regular weapon and a gold ring?
Do I want a shrine of war for more enemies or a shrine of rhythm for a bigger multiplier?
Are there other gold-affecting items I should be aware of?


texts: Is there any way I could increase the damage on my spells in Skyrim?

texts:
My character is a spellsword and her spell damage is just so  low it irritates me and makes me regret ever making her a spellsword. An example I can mention is when I wield a sword on my right hand and a frosbite spell on my left. Now I can go around slashing people's heads off and keep freezing them so they can't get close.

I also heard you could increase the damage on the spell (e.g. frostbite) if you equip it on both hands and click both mouse buttons and your character uses both hands to cast the spell. What I mean here is I want to increase the damage of her spells by the numbers, like if the damage is 150 I want it to be 350 or higher.


texts: How can I contact server admins in Battlefield Bad Company 2?

texts:
When a server has clearly posted rules and someone's violating them, I point out the offender's sad counter-social behavior by chat—politely, twice.

If the behavior continues (it always continues) I get the irresistible urge to tattle, hoping somebody will kick the putz.

What's the best way to contact admins? General chat? I've read that some servers (BC2CC?) support chat-based directives like !admins and !calladmin, but I've never gotten them to work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Can I tell whether I'm on a server that supports them?

texts:
I have a zombie spawner set up to farm exp, and I also have a skeleton spawner set up to do the same.

Because I'm using them as exp farms (getting them down to half a heart and then punching them to death), I also occasionally get rare drops from them both.

Around about a quarter of the bows that drop come with a Power I enchant, and I've gotten two enchanted golden swords from Zombie Pigmen (regular kills), but I've never had an enchantment on any of the hundreds of swords/shovels/helmets that the Zombies have dropped.

Which items have a chance of being enchanted upon their drop?

texts:
I have fairly fast reaction times and am able to flash out of the way of say an Ashe or Jinx ulti if I don't see it early enough to right click my character away.

Some champs have spells that occur almost instantaneously, but within a certain range. For example, Blitzcrank can only grab people within a certain range of him/her/it.

It's sometimes predictable when Blitz is going for the grab, so I was wondering if it was possible to flash out of the way of his grab to escape it?


texts: Do certain buddy missions in Far Cry 2 lock out other ones?

texts:
I've been playing Far Cry 2 on Infamous (hardest) difficulty. (It really gives you an appreciation for tactics.)  I've kept all my buddies alive, Flora is my best buddy and Warren is my rescue buddy.  I've also saved Quarbani and Michele, and they're currently chilling in Mike's Bar.

They both offered me a mission at the same time - I ignored Michele to do Quarbani's mission because it seemed quicker, with the idea that I'd come back and do Michele's afterwards.

But after I returned to Mike's and reported in to Quarbani, Michele no longer offered that mission.

Did I miss it forever, or will she offer it again later?

texts:
I've finished the storyline and am now finishing all the missions. Up to this point, there have been many battles that took a few tries, but never any battles that I felt I had to grind for. A few moments' thought, a carefully-crafted Paradigm deck, and a bespoke strategy have gotten me through every battle at the moment I encountered it.

I'm now in Titan's Trials, I've gone through one set of five battles, and now I'm on the last battle of another: E1, Mission 45, against a Neochu.

I cannot figure out how I can beat this thing — not without leaving and coming back WAY later, anyway. It's hard enough to survive to the halfway point of the battle, and once the bloody thing spawns his Picochus it's all over.

I've been using Fang - Lightning - Hope. Fang has around 15,000 HP, Lightning around 12,000, and Hope around 11,000. All my Physical and Earth defense accessories have been distributed among them in several configurations. All three characters are over halfway through Stage 10 of their primary role Crystaria (all the 30,000-CP crystals are lit up), and Lightning and Hope each have Stage 1 of Sentinel.

I begin by Hasting everyone, then immediately switch to COM - COM - MED. I always have to have a Medic, because if I don't, two consecutive regular attacks can kill a party member.

This continues until Neochu is about to Screech, at which point I switch to SEN - SEN - SEN, which is pretty much necessary to survive the attack. I then switch to COM - MED - MED or SAB - MED - MED to heal while keeping the chain gauge (barely) up.

Then the Neochu uses Pollen, so I have to keep my two Medics for a moment, then try to reHaste everyone, which is tricky because Lightning is not a good Medic and by this time the Neochu is attacking again! So I have to go back to COM - COM - MED which leaves me with several debuffs on each character, which are barely gone before the stupid thing Screeches again.

Thus I can limp along until the Neochu is at half health. Then he summons his Picochus. Then he screeches, making me pull out SEN - SEN - SEN. If I survive that, I can go SEN - COM - MED, but I can hardly get them all Provoked before my party members start falling, and even if I do, I can't then get Mediguarded in time to survive their initial onslaught.

What am I doing wrong? None of the strategies I've read elsewhere seem to indicate that I should be having this much of a problem just keeping everyone alive.

TL;DR: Help me exact vengeance on this accursed beast.

Is it worth deleting game and downloading again - this is clearly, I assume a glitch with her edition.

I've reached the point in Game Dev Story that I'm just beginning work on my first console! However, after a few months developing, I see that I've made a grave mistake... I'm a few $100k short of meeting payroll come the end of March. Unfortunately reloading an early save isn't an option as my manual save is a few months into development.

texts: Do achievements earned in Windows Phone game trials transfer to the paid version?

texts:
Some Windows Phone 7 games have limited Xbox Live integration, including Live achievements that add to your Gamerscore. Very commonly (always?), when the game has a trial or demo version, achievements cannot be earned in the demo.

However, when you do something in the trial that would earn you an achievement in the paid game, you'll often be told that achievements only exist in the paid version, and asked if you want to buy the game or keep going with the trial. What I would like to know is:

If you choose not to buy the game when you earn the achievement, but you buy the game later, will you receive that past trial "achievement" when you do buy the game?
And what if you do buy the game right away - will you get the achievement then?


texts: Understanding elemental damage on bowguns

texts:
First of all, I would like to assure you that I have done my homework when it comes to understanding damage calculation in Monster Hunter. My question is somewhat advanced because understanding damage calculation is a prerequisite.

Total Damage Output = ([Physical Damage Output] + [Elemental Damage Output]) * Overall Defense

And of course it gets more complicated than that.

My question is on the calculation of the Elemental Damage Output for, say, a Light Bowgun. Most weapons in the game have a stat called Element, which shows the Elemental attack of the weapon. This value is used in the computation of the Elemental Damage Output as follows:

Elemental Damage Output = (Elemental attack / 10) * Elemental effectiveness

The problem with bowguns is that they do not have any Element stat. So as I looked into the question (I told you I did my homework ^^), I found out that the Element stat for bowguns was contained within elemental shots (e.g. Flaming S, Water S, ...). For example, according to this beautifully written tutorial on bowguns that I urge every aspiring gunners to read, the stats on Flaming S is 7 + 45 Fire and I would like to know what it means:

I think the 7 is the motion value used to calculate the Physical damage output so that it will be 7% of the weapon's effective power (which takes into account the raw damage, the weapon factorand the affinity. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know what to think about the 45 Fire damage. If such a small value is used as the Elemental attack in the Elemental Damage Output calculation (in the formula above), it makes no sense because bowguns would be severely disadvantaged because the actual elemental damage dealt would be 4.5 times some elemental effectiveness, which is usually a low percentage. So, this interpretation is likely not correct. Or am I to see the 45 Fire damage as the result of 450 / 10, which then needs to be multiplied by the Elemental effectiveness?

Your help is greatly appreciated.


texts:
Daisy is a pet that Maggie gets in involve, and one of her main draws is that she's able to track the monster. However, I'm not sure exactly how she tracks the monster, which is an important detail for both hunters and monsters to know. I found this Reddit thread which states she just runs towards the newest footprint (including invisible sneaking ones) within 100m, but that's from when the game is still in beta, so I'm not sure if it's been changed.

How does Daisy's tracking work, and is there anything I can do to avoid being tracked (like running through water)?

In the final mission, you must make it to the other end of a very large map to do your final battle.

There is no explicit turn timer on this mission. However, the in-game dialogue would suggest that there is a sense of urgency in completing your mission as quickly as possible.

Are there any negative consequences for taking a lot of turns before starting the very last fight at the end of the map?

If not, players could just use a bunch of idle turns in between each battle to reset cooldowns on abilities.


texts: What level should I be by the time I face the Warden in Borderlands 2?

texts: So I epically failed the first time and it looks like I ended up going the friendship gulag route. The problem is I still cant' beat the warden. I was at level 12 and I was getting absolutely no where, so I left the mission and went and did a few side missions. I am now level 14 and I have a rocket launcher that barely does 1000 damage, am I ready to face him?


texts: No Pokestop's, Gyms nor Pokemon appearing in a non geo-blocked region of China

texts:
I am in a non geo blocked province of China. For about two weeks I was able to see Pokestops, Gyms, and Pokemon and play the game normally but three days ago it started not loading anything on my map except the cities map. I recently succeeded at installing the game off of Google Play Store but it's still not working. I tried restarting my game and it didn't work, and I also tried restarting my phone and it's still not working!

How can I fix this?


texts: No video output on PS3, and cannot 'reset' output

texts:
When I plug in the Component or Composite video cables and turn on my PS3, I can hear the startup sound but there's no video output.

I've tried to do the video reset multiple times (Put the system in standby, hold down the power button, then in 5 seconds you get a beep. However, when I hold down the button there's never a beep within 5 seconds. If I hold it down for about a minute the PS3 then shuts off.  Anyone have any suggestions?


texts:
Could you explain in detail when my hero does and does not get experience?

killing

I assume I get experience for everything I kill with my bare hands. Including global skills (like natures prophet)

minions

Everything that gets killed by an minion of mine. (chen, enchantress, broodmother, ..) gives me xp, no matter how far away my hero is (or if he is alive)

creeps

Do I get experience for enemy creeps killed by my creeps? Or do I have to assist the kill to get experience?
What is the experience radius? I often read about keeping the enemy away from creep xp, how far do I have to push them back? what about denies?

turrets

Do I get anything from kills by turret?

heroes

How much experience do I get for a kill and / or assist? Do I have to be in "experience range" to get assist experience?

being dead

Does this unique state has any influence on getting experience from minions?

texts:
So I've asked a question similar to this, but I still don't fully understand which types of champions go top lane. I've googled it, but most of the answers were from 2, if not more, years ago.

Thanks in advance! :)

texts: Do the mimics of the Grin Reaper Mask do any damage?

texts:
I recently got my hands on one of these from Kedala. Here is the link to the mask: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/the-grin-reaper

It's a cool mask. But does the mimics actually do any damage at all?

Firebats seem to proc them pretty often so they are always there, but what is their own proc rate of casting a spell? I've seen them cast Firebats, Zombie bears. But their proc rate of casting spell seems variable, they seem to cast Firebats all the time, but cast Zombie Bears once in a while, Grasp of the Dead very very rarely and never cast Piranha.

Which spells benefit most from these mimics, could anyone knowledgeable shed some light into it?

Another question; right now I'm using Firebats as my main damage spell. I've got 13% Firebats damage rolled on the mask, is getting a 6% CHC worth more than this one DPS wise?


texts: Is there a list of all known searchable terms for the item shop?

texts:
When they added the search feature and redid the shop however long ago, they added certain searchable terms for popular items (I believe "tons of damage" pops up trinity force for example). In this patch 3.14, they added "hats" to be a searchable term as well.

What other just-for-fun or short-hand terms can be used to search the shop?

Now when I open my data folder in my Skyrim SE installation location I have:

After copying the content from the 3 archives I now have a textures subfolder:

Content of the textures folder is:

Now I start Skyrim from Steam as I usually do but the game looks exactly the same as before. So the updated textures are not picked up.

What am I missing here?

UPDATE:

I think I managed to get it to work using Mod Organizer and this video:

texts:
How does Doomcaller interact with a polymorphed/hexed/entombed C'thun?

Since technically a sheep or a frog dies, is it possible to place the lost C'thun back into the deck, or does Doomcaller do nothing?

Also, if it is in your opponent's deck due to a card like entomb, would it bring it back into yours? Or is it still technically "alive" and therefore unreachable by Doomcaller?


texts:
Numerous in-game sources (NPCs, item descriptions, etc.) have made reference to how combining items with 'critters' can yield elixirs with a variety of effects. That sounds really neat.

The only problem is - I don't have any idea how to gather these 'critters'. I've noticed several types of animals, but none of them that I can seemingly just waltz up to. In previous Zelda games, you needed special items to interact with certain critters, but I've found no mention of that so far.

How do I capture confoundingly mobile elixir ingredients?


texts: Does buying things from other peoples towns have any negative impact on them or other members of your guild?

texts: How long does it take for police 'presence' to clear when they are alerted?

texts:
I engaged with some enemy NPCs, and accidentally shot a civilian in the head (though not sure it would've mattered if I hit them somewhere else or not) as they ran across my screen. As a result of this, I was alerted by the game that the NCPD (the police) were automatically en route to 'investigate', and that I could avoid them by leaving the area and "lying low for a while".
How long does it take for the police to stop searching for me, and is there any kind of visual information on the HUD that alerts me to when NCPD is or is no longer looking for me?


texts: How should I approach Jool to make best use of my fuel?

texts:
Suppose I want to land a kerbal on one of Jool's moons, say Vall, for example. How should I approach Jool to make best use of my fuel, without using aerobraking? What kind of orbit should I shoot for? Low or high, circular or elliptical? Or should I try a direct encounter with the moon instead?

I think that the most efficient way is aerobraking (thus, the orbit altitude is as close as possible), but my rocket doesn't have the necessary aerodynamics nor heat shields for that. Not sure what the next best thing is.

I have been to Jool and some of its moons a few times, some successful, others not so much, each time approaching them differently, haphazardly, never knowing what the best approach is.

I have researched this a lot, but I only find discussions about the best  parking orbit at the origin, and the videos about traveling to Jool usually speed up at the arrival, and I can't quite figure out what's the best approach.


texts:
When I buy a SWTOR Game Time Card, what exactly does 60 days of game time mean, and how it is tied to the real world time? I have read all FAQs and subscriptions, but I am still none the wiser.

Does it mean I can play a game 60 days since I redeem the code, like when redeemed on January 1, I can play until March 1?
Or does it mean any day I play one day is deduced from the game time, but I can have days which I do not play in between?
Or does it mean I can spend 60*24 hours in the game, no matter how the real world calendar runs?

texts: How to get rid of an in game ad banner that covers up gameplay?

texts:
I recently got an in-game advertisement banner which covered the menu/x button, credit total and bux total. I tried clicking on it, but it only opens a web page and the ad stays in view.

With other ads like the Lego Movie ad, it usually vanished after exiting the "Behold! while you were away" screen.

How can I get rid of this annoyingly-placed ad?


texts: Markarth Guards seem to be broken and I can't get out of the hold to let the place reset

texts:
It all started with me accidentally shouting at a guard. I'm only level 4, so it didn't even make a crack in his health bar. But now, no matter what I do, they just kill me. I've mostly just been trying to leave the town with healing but they're just as fast as I am and they destroy me.

I'm an imperial, but my voice of the emperor doesn't seem to be working. Granted, I'm not exactly sure how to use it.

Also, fast travel won't work because I'm surrounded by enemies.

I tried reverting to a previous save but the safest one I have is way back at Alvor and Sigrid's house when I was level 1 and still had to retrieve the Dragonstone.

Killing all the guards is out of the question, as well. Lydia's already dead to them so I'm on my own and definitely not strong enough to kill them all.

How do I get out of this??

EDIT: I was able to figure out how to use my Voice of the Emperor. My bounty wasn't too high and it's all good, now. :)

texts: When does it make sense to transmigrate/reincarnate story characters?

texts:
I'm still fairly early on in Disgaea. I've just started Map 4, and Laharl is only level 18 or so.

I see that I have the option to Transmigrate him. As I understand it, transmigration makes a lot of sense for my newly-created characters, as I effectively upgrade what class they are (like Cleric to Priest or Bishop). However, for characters like Laharl and Etna, they can't upgrade their class or change class, so the only benefit seems to be that they may get some more ability points, depending on how much mana I spend.

I'm left with some questions about when it's worth it do this. Are the ability bonuses cumulative, such that if I transmigrate him 10 times, I'll get 10 times worth of stat bonsues? Or will my 2nd transmigration wipe out the ability bonuses of the first?

If they do stack, does it ever make sense to transmigrate as a Genius, since it costs a heck of a lot more mana (8000) to get 10 points, whereas I could transmigrate 10 times for +1 ability points (only costs 10 mana each time!)?
If it doesn't stack, will I ever need to transmigrate again once I've transmigrated at the Genius level?
What's the "Inheritance Bonus" percentage, and how does this affect things?

texts:
Ok, I am in a weird state in one of my games.  It seems that my device forgot about one of my drawings even though it was sent to my partner.  So now her guesses show up as guesses for the next drawing.  I drew a music box, and she guessed it, but her guess showed up in the queue for my next drawing, of a dogsled.  So when I click the game, it shows her guessing  'musicbo' for dogsled, and getting it wrong and resetting our streak, even though it presumably already told her she got musicbox right.

I tried killing the app, and resetting the device, but no luck.  I have no idea what will happen when her dogsled guess comes through.  Maybe it will synch up.

Anyone seen anything like this?

ETA let it continue after showing her getting dogsled wrong, streak counter jumped back up to where it should be if she got it right?  Sent another drawing, now have two outstanding...

EATA So my dogsled drawing never made it to her; it disappeared into the æther.  From her point of view, it was all normal, like Timothy Roy said below, and we're back in sync now.  Glad I didn't spend more time on that particular drawing, since it went nowhere.

Thanks.

texts: How do I get rid of these dark rectangles on the screen in Bioshock Infinite

texts:
I've already asked other people and looked all over and I can't find anyone else having this problem. And I don't have this problem on any other games.

I already tried verifying the games cache (although I knew that wouldn't work). I think it's caused by ShadowPlay because the squares are where the ShadowPlay status indicator and webcam overlays go.

However, disabling ShadowPlay doesn't fix it and neither does disabling the overlays inside ShadowPlay.

Here is a picture of the problem:

If I alt-tab and then go back in, they're gone for a second and then they show back up again.

They stay there the whole time and never move or flicker how do I get rid of them??

I know this isn't a question about the game and doesn't really belong here but I had no idea where else to ask that I might receive an answer.

texts: Endermen won't attack Endermite [20w12a]

texts:
So, for a map I'm making, I've set doMobSpawning to false, and I'm trying to create an Enderman farm using Endermites. I'm aware that Endermen will only attack a natural, pearl-spawned Endermite usually, but found via the Wiki that they have an NBT tag (namely, PlayerSpawned) that, when they have a value of 1, will allow Endermen to attack it.

Here's my issue; it's not working. I've tried 1 and 1b (since that is the only thing that will work on most occasions) and even tried my luck with 0 and 0b, but no dice. I can't spawn an Endermite naturally because of doMobSpawning being false.

Is this PlayerSpawned NBT thing bugged, and should I submit a report seeing this is a snapshot version? Or is there something else I'm missing here?


texts: Is there a clear water MineCraft mod that will work for SMP servers?

texts:
I would like to know if it's possible to use some kind of minecraft mod to make the water that I look through clear. I understand that there's mods to do it and I can also modify my texture pack, but I've not found any clear details and more importantly, I haven't learned whether I'll be able to use that kind of a mod when I play on my SMP server.

Can somebody point me in the right direction to answer these questions?

edit

To be clear, I don't want to just edit the texture pack, I would also like to change the clarity (and color?) of the water itself so I can see further and so the light doesn't decrease as fast.

I'm going to be making a water world (110 block sea level and canyons down to 20 blocks) using the PhoenixTerrainMod so it's rather important that I'm able to see long distances and that the water isn't totally dark because it sucks up all the light. From what I understand I'll need a client mod to modify the alpha values of the water, so where might I be able to get that?

The guard is standing close enough for me to see his chest hair and still I cant do anything. Instead I have to climb up in plain sight and hope to dodge a spray of bullets. Not so much "infiltration" as going "head first - guns blazing".

Isn't Death from below usable from ladders?


texts: Olaf's Passive and Maw of Malmortious vs. Tryndamere

texts:
Which do you think is more potent in a 1 vs. 1 situation (not against each other), Olaf's passive that gives him more ASP as he loses health combined with the new item, Maw of Malmortius, which increases how much damage he does each hit based on how much health he is missing, or Tryndamere with his combined passive and ultimate using the Maw of Malmortius to do massive amount of damage for about 5 seconds while Trynd turns immortal?

As scary as the Tryndamere is, you also have to remember that Olaf can use his W to gain up to 35 AD and 21% Lifesteal and Spellvamp, allowing him to stay alive as he hits you, possibly even longer than Trynd's Ulti can by itself. (Olaf's W lasts for 6 seconds and is on a 12 second cooldown, compared to Tryndamere's ~100 second cooldown).


texts:
I've recently gotten back into playing Skyrim, but I'm having some trouble.

Namely, sounds are almost completely non-existent. Occasionally when attacking, or usually when speaking, all the sound comes back and starts working just fine (including background music and stuff), but for the most part it's completely silent. As a Khajiit playing stealth, this makes things quite difficult!

I'm not sure what information may be useful. I'm on pretty much a completely fresh install of Windows 8 (just upgraded yesterday) but the sound was glitchy before the upgrade too, so I don't think that's particularly useful...

Any advice on what to try would be much appreciated!

texts:
I cannot play LAN on Minecraft as the game I am trying to join does not appear on the list.

If I turn the firewall off, it works fine. In the firewall, when Minecraft is set to either public or private, it does not work.

When the person I want to play with (or he wants to play with me), I cannot visibly see any LAN games on my multi-player screen. The other person can see my lan game that I try hosting, but when he clicks on it, it sits on the connecting to server screen for several minutes before a connection timed out error occurs on his computer. How can I make it so that we can play together, but I don't have to shut down the firewall?

He then said I should try and get 20 cuts.  He also suggested I get a longer sword, which would help me.  (I'm sure that a better sword comes later in the game.)

Do I only get rupees for completing this challenge?  Or is there something more meaningful I can earn?  What is the maximum number of cuts I'll be asked to make?

Repeating command blocks and ticking functions execute 20 times per second, redstone is not a good solution in many situations and most of the extremely fancy solutions, like falling blocks in cobwebs, have broken over time or are needlessly complicated.


texts: Why are my food resources unable to be assigned in Fallout 4?

texts:
I'm playing Fallout 4 on the PC and ran across a problem. A quick Google didn't help. One of my homesteads got attacked. I was there so it wasn't a problem to demolish even without defenses. Then I harvested some of the plants and when I came back they hadn't regrown. Realizing there was no one assigned to them, I grabbed a new settler at the farm and told him to farm it.

The game informed me it was assigned, but looking away and checking the little person that tells you if it's assigned said it still wasn't. One of the plants also won't be repaired.

I gave up for a while, ended up stopping gameplay and doing other stuff for several hours. Then when I loaded up the game, and had a quest to go back to the same farm, the issue was worse. Now I couldn't even select the previously unassignable tatos.

I tried a fix that had you move a working tato plant on top of the nonworking one and then load a save, that resulted in the nonworking one working but the formerly working one now being nonfunctional. And the tatos still wouldn't assign anyway.

I have better food places, I don't even need this farm that much for Tatos, but fixing the bug would be nice. If anyone has a quick fix I'd appreciate it.

Clicking the bomb icon (blue ball-like object with red on top), however, does nothing.  Yet clearly I have enough gems (11 here).

How do you buy Remote Mines from the store?

Does the Steam version not come with the Day One Patch, and that's why I'm not receiving 30 moonstones while having installed and made a save for both the first and second game?

texts: What are the most profitable ingredients to plant?

texts:
I've bought the house in Falkreath, where I have a greenhouse where I can plant some ingredients and harvest them.

Normally, I seed canis roots and swamp fungal pods. Every now and then I make paralysis potions with them and then sell/use the potions. I don't remember the exact value of this potion, but it's about 300 gold.

Are there any others ingredients that I can plant that are more profitable than those? I want to level up my alchemy faster.

I'm playing on Xbox.

texts: Where are good home base sites in Fallout: New Vegas?

texts:
Where are some good places to set up a home base in Fallout: New Vegas?

My criteria for "good" are as follows:

Permanent (non-resetting) storage containers, the more the better
Quick to get to from a fast travel location
Quick to get to a place where you can fast travel away
Nearby access to fire, reloading bench, and/or workbench for crafting
Nearby courier access (would be a nice to have)
Accessible as early as possible (with a low level)

This question (Can you get your own house in Fallout: New Vegas?) mentions three places, but none of them really meet my criteria. The locations don't have to be a place that is officially yours, just one that you can claim and use without having to fight your way in and out.

In the past I've used the Goodsprings Schoolhouse, but it's a long walk from the fast travel spot to it, and it's a long walk from it to any crafting places.


texts: I can't run jar files on my Windows 7 PC

texts:
OK, so I can't run Java executable files of any sort on my Windows 7 PC. The one in particular I'm trying to use is the Forge installer for Minecraft. Normally, an installer window should open when I double click the file. I have Java installed and I set it to open with Java (TM) SE Binary but all that does is make the command prompt window open and then close again instantly. I have tried using the command method to open it but then it comes up with the error saying Error:

Unable to access jarfile runable_jar.jar

I have downloaded the JDK file because I heard that was something I needed, but I'm not sure where to put it so it will do what it is supposed to.

Was there something else I needed to download or is there something wrong with the version of Java I'm using (I checked and it's at the latest update). By the way I have a Windows 7 64 bit if that helps.

texts: Can I demand the return of cores to my vassal?

texts:
Since the patch that came with the Art of War expansion, it is possible to start wars to reconquest core provinces from enemies that belong to your vassal.

However, when I finally win and capture those provinces, I have no option to return those provinces to my vassal. Instead I can only annex them myself. I can sell them to my vassal afterwards, but I get unnecessary AE this way for provinces I never wanted for myself in the first place.

Is there a way to return those core provinces directly to my vassal in peace negotiations? If yes, under which conditions will this option show up?

texts: Do captured familiars' stats vary a lot?

texts:
I have 2 Tokotoko's that I have caught over a period of time. Both are in my Familiar Retreat and I havent yet trained them or used them in battle. First curious thing to note is that they are caught at Lv.1, because 2nd stage familiars are usually caught at Lv.10.
Second Curious thing is the difference between their stats:

Atk:   27  27
Def:   27  27
M.Atk: 45  45
M.Def: 51  120
Acc:   26  32
Eva:   71  122

Note the staggering difference in their Magic Defense and Evasion stat! Is there a reason for this difference?
Do all familiars have such normal & super stat versions when they are caught?


texts: What actions give XP in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

texts:
As I've been playing through Deus Ex, I've seen my fair share of messages pop up, informing me that I have earned XP, but because there's no explanation for the message, It's not always obvious what I've done to earn the XP in the first place.

For instance, it took me a while to realize I was getting the "Marksman" bonus whenever I shot someone in the head, instead of tranq-ing them in the torso. Some others I've seen a lot, but still don't know what caused them -- "Traveler", and "Expedient", for instance.

What actions (or suite of actions) in DE:HR result in an XP Bonus?

texts: Stop Minecraft Ticks when zero players online

texts:
As we all know , a Minecraft Server keeps the spawn chunks loaded all the time (if you don't know, read these questions: one two). So ticks keep passing by. I'm keen of the fact that in these ticks not everything is processed like there is a player nearby that is responsible for the loaded chunks.

Normally these questions go in the direction "I want something loaded and processed" but I'm looking for the opposite. In normal vanilla Minecraft there is no calendar, there is only day and night. Because of this the impact of ticking is not quite as relevant. But for mods like TerraFirmaCraft with calendar and stuff, this is a bit of a problem because you will starve while you're, for example, at work.

I found some scripts in python that act like some kind of proxy. Listening to the default Minecraft port 25565 and if they get any connection starting up a real server in the background passing the traffic over. If all players disconnect, after some time, the server gets shut down and the whole process starts over again.

As I'm using a hosted solution I can only run *.jars, so python and shell scripts are out for this. Is there any solution using Forge or a Java Wrapper to accomplish this type of behavior?

Manually starting and stopping the server all the time is no solution in this case.


texts: Is there any way to move a brahmin away from a feed trough?

texts:
When you place a brahmin feed trough in a settlement, after a while a brahmin will start feeding from it. However, as the brahmin is eating from it, the trough becomes unmovable. This obviously becomes an issue if I decide that I want to renovate my settlement.

Is there any way to stop the brahmin feeding from it, or just move it away temporarily? I don't think that it's possible to direct a brahmin to move to different places like you can with settlers in construction mode.

If I ever attack a brahmin in my settlement, all of the settlers turn on me, so killing it appears not to be an option.

Do I need to lure something to attack my settlement in order to make it flee? Or do I need to use a tamed creature that I have caught in a cage, and then turn of the Beta Wave Emitter to make it kill the brahmin?

I'm on a console, so console commands aren't available.

For the former, I have only found information about ilvl 60 - 63 but I would like information for all item levels.  For the latter I have only found this page linked on another question, but it's not clear where each "tier" of affix can drop.

texts: How to defend a settlement against charred feral ghouls?

texts:
This is the Fallout 4 Vanilla version on PC in Survival mode.

This is pretty late in the game so I had lots of resources and could make a lot of stuff.  I have a settlement in Kingsport Lighthouse which wasn't necessarily new.  I had placed 5 heavy machine gun turrets just outside the house.  One on each side and another one facing the entryway.  I was near Goodneighbor when an alert was given that the settlement was under attack. So off I went and fast traveled to Kingsport.
I went up to the house since the turrets were not firing and wanted to see where the attacks were coming from.
Then they came up out of the freaking cliff side just besides the broken truck.
These things were relentless and the 3 turrets facing that area fired away like a lot.
I knew that ghouls were susceptible to explosive rounds so I used my explosive automatic pipe rifle on them.
Good thing I was also in my jet packed power armor because there were over 10 of these things coming at me at the same time so I jumped on top of the house and shot them from there.
The only thing that saved me from the last wave was the truck.
It exploded when about the last 5 ghouls were coming towards the house.
Which meant crippled ghouls and I took my time killing them using a furious baseball bat and of course the turrets were nice enough to finish off those that they could hit.
Now the question:

How do you defend a settlement against waves of charred feral ghouls?
How many machine gun turrets would you need to defend against such a number of ghouls?
I don't want to build rockets because my settlers might explode with the enemies, so what is the alternative?
I just want to have my settlement defend themselves without me doing anything, so any suggestions on what to place as defensive structures?


texts: Explorer died and the stuff is gone. Bug?

texts:
I play this game for a while in the "normal" mode. I recently décide to start over with the survival mode. So there's my question.

I sent a explorer in the wasteland with a weapon 22-23 and 8 stimpacks. He survived for 8 hours without using any of them. Before sleep i called him back. He still hadnt use the stimpack. When i open the game this morning, he was dead, all his stuff was gone and the 22-23.
Weapon he was equiped with too. How to fix this bug? I have already move out the body. Is it a bug or is it the survival mode?

texts: Optimal way to increase heavy armor skill?

texts:
I'm trying to fast track my heavy armor skill, mostly so I can get the Conditioning perk (since my armor takes up such a ridiculous portion of my overall carrying capacity).

So far, I've only found two ways to increase my heavy armor skill: paying for training (which gets pretty expensive!), or actually getting hit by enemies.

The problem with the first option is that it will quickly bankrupt me, the problem with the second option is that it tends to kill me.

Has anyone found a good way to "farm" up your heavy armor skill?

texts: What are ways to train ones lasthitting skills

texts:
So I'm a high elo player and I only play Support since I can't really keep up with the farm in High elo. While I have 160 - 180 CS on average in 20 minutes my opponents are at around 180-220 and this is just a huge gold advantage which is pretty fatal in my elo.

Now I've already tried farming in custom games, but this isn't really the same. I have no trouble Hitting 240 (Max) creeps in 20 minutes but when it comes to real games I rapidly fall behind because of harrass, ganks or creep deny in general.

What ways are there to improve at farming even more? I'm just really bored of playing support all day but I can't really keep up with diamond farm so I somehow have to improve.

texts: How do you get down the hill on the campaign level, SOG?

texts:
In Call of Duty: Black Ops, on the mission SOG (Vietnam), you come to a point where your orders are to push back the NVA down the hill. I've spent a lot of time slowly pushing down the hill but the enemies keep coming and on Veteran difficulty at some point I always end up dying. My squad mates pretty much stop at the first level down the hill providing no help.

I'm sure a portion of it is skill, but there must be something I'm missing to trigger my squad mates to continue on down and move the level forward and stop the enemy from spawning. Any ideas?


texts: How to effectively level up a craft-based character?

texts:
I am thinking of setting up a "craft-based" character is Skyrim - with the challenge to use Smithing/Enchanting/Alchemy and Speech to build up wealth while avoiding the normal kill, loot, and sell approach.

From experience, it's hard to make/sell things without losing a lot of money in the process. For example, a leather strip (3 gold) and an iron ingot (7 gold) can be smithed into an iron dagger (10 gold) - which is a grand profit of no gold.

Even using enchanting/soul gems and "high value" enchantments like "Fortify Sneak" doesn't deliver a good return. Although, since previous characters have been combat/magic/sneak-focused, I haven't put a lot into "Speech" perks.

Is there an effective/profitable approach to a "crafting" style of gameplay or do the in-game economics make it pretty much impossible?

texts:
In Fantasy Life one of your lives (read as Jobs) can be that of an angler or fisherperson. In the other mini games for gathering resources or creating items you can get bonuses from doing it quickly, like cooking can yield a better dish or multiple dishes per attempt. In fishing there is the chance of catching larger fish, fish that you can use as trophies (might be the same thing?) and just rare fish in an area.

The introduction of the fishing quests you have to find one of the rare ones and the cat known as Trout shows you a location near an Apple tree to catch an Applefish. I went back on my own and the fish was not there. Later on after some random fishing I finally caught another but there was no apple tree in sight. Was this just a misleading storyline that the environment has an impact more than 'These fish are found in those zones'? (Which you can look up in the library for what its worth).

Also, does the time it takes to catch the fish have any bearing on what kind of fish? If I catch it fast will it be bigger or by their nature is it the longer ones to catch will be bigger?

I guess the end all question is what can I do as a player to be the best I can be at fishing?

texts: How does the "portal particle screens" improvement work?

texts:
I'm playing as Vaulters, and I'm having difficulty parsing what the hell the "portal particle screens" system improvement does:

Specifically:

What is "construction effects"? Does it mean that during construction, my empire has reduced science? What if I'm building more than one of these at once? Does this penalty go away when construction is complete?
What does "per constructed aperture" mean? I'm guessing per portal, since portals have in their description "+1 Vaulter aperture on star system". Is there anything else which is an "aperture"?
How does the science bonus work? Does it mean the system's science output improves by (1 science per portal)%?
What does it mean "not affected by additional improvements, not cumulative"? I'm guessing the former is that portals built after that improvement is built do not count, but what does the latter mean?
And finally, a bit more high level: even if I have like 20 portals, how can +20% science bonus on a single system be worth -66% science on the entire empire for 15 turns?

texts: How to privately stream gaming without any intermediate servers while voice-chatting with viewers?

texts:
I had a look at this question and another one, which offer good answers on streaming in general. However, I'd like to stream gaming to few (say, one or two) persons, so I'd like to omit using a public server.

The second thing is, I'd like to stream audio while voice-chatting, which poses the additional difficulty of echo-suppression.

In brief, is there any (preferably free) streaming software that

is a local server (so no intermediate service like ustream is needed), or at least
allows sound streaming while voice-chatting (e.g. via mumble or skype)?

texts: Which is a better piece of armor - +2 Scale Mail or +0 Banded Mail in NetHack?

texts:
I recently started playing NetHack (warning to those who haven't, it's addicting) and I am at a point where I'm trying to decide between two pieces of armor.

I have a +2 Scale Mail and a +0 Banded Mail and I can't figure out which is better. According the NetHack Wiki page on Armor, the Banded Mail has higher AC by 2, is worth 45 more, and is heavier by 100. If the Scale Mail was unenchanted, it would be rather obvious which piece of armor to go with, but having that enchantment has me confused about which is better.

Which piece of armor is better and/or how can I tell this in the future (regarding enchantments)?

I don't really understand the transmit data action. How does it determine the throughput and electicity use?

Edit: There's also the 88-88, if you could factor that in to your answer, that'd be great.


texts: How do you sneak through 'Frontline' without killing anyone?

texts: Apparently Metro 2033 has 2 endings with one requiring you to complete various good-guy actions throughout the game. I've read that you need to use a lot of stealth to avoid killing people to reach the good-guy ending. The specific level 'Frontline' was really rough for me so I am wondering what tactics I could use to get through it stealthily.


texts: Are there "one-shot" collectables in Dead Island?

texts:
In Dead Island, are there any collectables which I can only get in one particular situation and then never again?

Like, are there any areas with collectables which I only enter once in the story and then can't go there again?


texts:
Wizards in Diablo 3 have this great skill where you clone yourself, but I couldn't find out if they could deal critical hits like I can.

Do these clones have this kind of ability?
Do they get any benefits from my critical chance?
Do they crit when I do?

In a Trials Fusion Big Air Skill Game, how do you make a good big air? I can't seem to make it over the hump of the big hill and am ending up in the 20-40 meter range which isn't even good enough for 90m for a Silver. I am hitting Y and the end of the jump as the game suggests, but it's not making much of a difference.

Do I need a better bike, or do I need to do something else to get air?


texts: Are there some levels that can't be finished with certain characters?

texts:
I've been playing Dustforce, and just yesterday learned that the different characters are not there simply for aesthetics.

It makes perfect sense as a game-design decision that, in the overworld/hub area/level select places, you have to use different characters to access some new levels.

The other night I encountered this:

I assumed at first that this obstacle was not conquerable with the blue character, but I discovered that dash-jumping makes it possible.

So this is strong evidence, but my ultimate question has not yet been definitively answered: Are there levels that only certain characters can finish, and if so, must you rely on trial and error or overworld suggestions to figure it out?


texts: Which missions are on Disc 1 and which are on Disc 2?

texts:
If you're playing xbox 360 Mass Effect 3, you might find it infuriating (as I do) that at the beginning of the game is a chop of "INSERT DISC 1" and "INSERT DISC 2" depending on what order you choose missions...

I chose to do grissom academy mission (DISC 2) before going to do the missions regarding Krogan/Salarian. (DISC 1) and I did an N7 mission (DISC 2) before doing another Disc 1 mission..

Does anyone have any idea what disc the missions are all supposed to be on? Surely if you can complete them in any order you shouldnt be switching discs. They got Mass Effect 2 right, anyone know whats up with this one?
