texts: What are the hidden subgroups in roles in Heroes of the Storm?

texts:
I thought that Quick Match would try to match you against another team with a similar composition. For example, if one team gets [1 support + 1 warrior + 3 assassins] the other team would also get such a composition.

However, in one of his videos, MFPallytime mentions that the reworked Tyrande (still Support) will be matched against another "sustain" heroes, which could even mean he'd be "mirrored" in the other team by an Abathur (a Specialist), or a Medivh (also a Specialist).

My own recent experience seems to support the hypothesis that there is such a different, more fine-grained grouping of heroes that is used to create "mirror-ish" matchups in Quick Match.

Is this correct, and if so: what are the hidden groups and what heroes do they contain?


texts: Virtual Families: the "Margaret Mystery?"

texts:
I am on my 4th generation in Virtual Families 2 but something strange is happening. I keep getting notifications every few hours about something about a person named "Margaret". It said that I found a funeral book that showed a funeral at the house for a person named "Margaret", and yesterday I got an in-game email to Margaret and Bob. I have no Margaret or Bob in my family tree, so is this a glitch or a mystery to make the game more interesting? I don't think its a glitch but I want to know if it is like a mystery or something.

Here is a picture of my family tree:

All my couples are: Fabiana & Stephory,   Friana & Bug,   Lucie & Atom,    Wifi &
Logone

See? No Margaret or Bob.


texts: Is it possible to force Grand Theft Auto 1 to run at 1080 resolution?

texts: How can I find ancient cores in Breath of the Wild?

texts:
I'm saving up for some primo ancient Armor, and need a ton of ancient gears, shafts, and cores to get it. It seems like the gears and shafts are fairly regular drops, and sometimes can be found in rusted-out Guardians without a fight, as well as in a pile from defeated large and small Guardians.

But I'm having a lot more trouble locating cores. I think the only ones I've gotten so far came from defeated full-size Guardians, but now I can't recall.

Which (live or dead) Guardians can drop cores, and are there any particularly good ways to find a bunch of em?

texts: Help with this Minecraft command! Why isnt it working?

texts:
So I am making a map with lots of commands and so it is easier to copy/paste commands. But when I put in the following command, it says this, "Data tag parsing failed: Invalid tag encountered, expected '{' as first char." I've tried a lot, but I cant get it!

Command:

/testforblock ~ ~2 ~minecraft:standing_banner 0 replace{Base:15,Patterns:[{Pattern:ss,Color:1},{Pattern:tr,Color:4}]}

I am though putting in another command and it is of placing a command block with that command inside it. It is working. This is the other command:

texts: How to do a full diplomatic integration of a vassal?

texts:
When you win a war against a opponent, you can vassalize him to be a subject-Empire. This is explained on the official wiki:

  A Vassal is the most controlled type of subject-Empire. They will automatically join their Overlord's wars, aggressive and defensive, and they have no autonomy when it comes to foreign policy or diplomatic relations. A vassal also runs the risk of a full diplomatic integration by their Overlord.

However, I don't find how to do a full diplomatic integration of a vassal?


texts:
In XCOM: Enemy Within:

What effects/events can reduce a soldier's Will score? Gravely Wounded? Sustaining a critical hit?
How much is the Will reduced by? X per day or flat rate per event?
Is there any way to prevent this (either before or after the event)? Do any MEC or Cybernetic enhancements have any effect on this process?

I was told that a Gravely Wounded soldier would lose Will at a rate of 2/day while healing.

In a recent game, post-mission a soldier was listed as: Gravely Wounded (2 days). After his recovery, his Will was unchanged.
During the mission he was reduced to 1 hit point through 2 separate attacks (neither was a critical). Also that soldier had Adaptive Bone Marrow. I'm not sure if that made a difference.

Additionally, I was told that enlisting a soldier in the MEC program would negate injury-related Will loss (as it changes the description from Gravely Wounded (X days) to Wounded (3 days)). Is this true?

texts: How to win on Might & Magic Heroes VI - Haven - Something Is Rotten campaign map

texts:
I've tried the map three times already and lost each time. Played on easy difficulty always.

I tried following the conflux advice but the enemies are still eventually overrunning me with superior forces.

Didn't take the fort to the south so that the south enemies remain passive until I can take out the enemies in the east. Done the griffin quest as soon as I cleared the main base area.

After that I went directly for the east enemy but their forces were already superior to mine. I think danger level high. And there was no way I could have taken 2 high level fights one after the other to take their castle.

I was forced to retreat to my castle to build my forces but as time passed I got attacked by both enemies and in the end, after multiple fights, they won.

It is pretty obvious that the more time passes on this map the less chance of winning there is.

I'm trying to make a specific item (carrot on a stick), so that it teleports you 10 blocks in the direction facing.

Kinda new to 1.13 so not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using a scoreboard "tp" to detect a carrot on a stick being used

I gave myself a carrot on a stick with a tag "Tp"

give @s carrot_on_a_stick{Tp:1b} 1

Then in a repeating command block:

execute as @a[scores={tp=1..},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick"},Tp:1b}] at @s run teleport @s ^ ^ ^10

However when I try to use the item it does nothing.

I tried it without the tags and it worked, however I only want a specific item to trigger this.


texts: How do I log UFC Person Trainer on Fitocracy

texts:
Cross games, but here it goes:

I've been doing Fitocracy lately, so I've been logging all my workouts.  A friend got my UFC Personal Trainer for Hanukkah and I wanted to give it a try.  I love Xbox, I love working out, and I love achievements.  It seemed like a match made in heaven, except...

I finished my first work out and I went to log the activities, standard things like Push-Ups, Squats, etc, and the game was even nice enough to keep track of how many I did while I was doing them.  However, after the workout was over and I wanted to log the number, I couldn't find that information anywhere.  The after workout only had "Points," which corresponded more with how many reps I did in a row rather than how many total.  I tried looking up information in my workout journal, but the only thing recorded there was Calories.  Which leaves me with only one question:

After a workout, how do I know how many reps I have done?

texts: How to pick up on the warning signs of someone who wants to kill me?

texts:
Recently, I picked Diablo 2 back up and have been playing lots of hardcore online. Once I get past the normal difficulty, I get extremely wary of other players and for some reason I think everyone is out to TK me. I really enjoy playing with others but the constant thought looming in the back of my mind that someone might be toying with me gives me the willies and takes the fun out of it. As a result, I usually just end up playing in solo, passworded games during Nightmare and Hell difficulties.

So, I come to you Gaming community, with a plea for help to help me enjoy Diablo 2 hardcore again without worrying. What are the telltale signs of someone that has the intention of TKing? I'm familiar with the whole "TP out, Hostile, TP in, kill" and other similar tactics, but I'm looking more for how I can spot a TKer before it happens so I can look out for it. Additionally, what are some of the lesser-known tactics they use that I could look out for?

texts: What edition of Minecraft do I use on my Windows 10 PC to connect to a Bedrock Edition realm?

texts:
I'm using Minecraft Java Edition on Windows 10.  The current version is 1.16.4 which is the most up to date at time of writing.
My son is trying to join a Realm which is played by a girl in his class and her brother.  I gave them his in-game name so they could invite him, but the game couldn't find him when they (their dad, actually) put the username in.  Similarly, their dad gave me their usernames and I tried inviting them to my son's Realms, and it couldn't see them either.
The dad also gave me these instructions:
"If you go to join realm and type in <11-char-key> that should get him to the realm".
(for obvious reasons I don't want to put the actual key in this post)
But, in the game, I can't see an option to put in a key to join another realm - it seems that the only way you can connect realms is via invite.
He also have me a url:
https://realms.gg/same-key-as-above
That url seems to work in that it takes me to a page which has his son's username on it.  It has two options:  "Play Minecraft" and "Download Minecraft".  The Play button does nothing, and if I go to the Download page i have options to take a free trial, or buy it.  But, we've already bought it.
I know that there are two different versions of Minecraft, Java and Bedrock.  Is that the issue here?  Are these kids playing on Bedrock, and because i'm in the Java edition it's a totally different thing where you can't play multiplayer between different versions?
If that is the case then I guess I just need to buy the Bedrock edition?  We have an ongoing monthly Realms subscription - will that carry over into the Bedrock edition?
Grateful for any advice, thanks.
Edit - i've since discovered that

the other kids are playing Bedrock Edition.
the version I saw advertised to buy was the Windows 10 edition.

Am I able to connect to a Bedrock Edition realm from within the Windows 10 version?

texts: Steam games no longer in library but still take up space

texts:
I was clearing up space today on my computer and noticed in my storage settings it said a couple games were taking up space that I clearly remember uninstalling them and they're not in my Steam library. When I click uninstall in my storage app it reads me this message.

I've gone to my user and there is no application file. I've also gone to common in steam to find the game files. The files are not there either. I'm not sure where they are on my computer but they're taking up space. So if anyone knows how to find the files or just delete them it would be much appreciated!


texts:
I am building a bridge through the Nether, out of Nether Brick. The only issue, is that the bridge enters the bounds of a Nether Fort, meaning that Blazes, and Wither Skeletons can spawn on it.

I know that they cannot spawn on right-side up stairs, and half slabs, if placed on the ground (half a block below the normal block height). This is due to the block not considered as being a "full" block.

However, if I place stairs upside down, will this still be the case?


texts: What happens in the faction war when an owned territory is detached from your home base?

texts:
I've seen that it's possible for a team to own a territory but not have any path of owned territories from their home base to that territory. At that point, it has a slashed pattern instead of a solid one, and the team that owns that territory can't use it as the origination point for any attacks, but it also can't be attacked by other teams.

What exactly is going on here? How do those territories come back into play? Will another team be able to gain control of that territory? Is it strategically good or bad to have territories like this for your team?

texts: Why do some steam games not work on Windows 10 - error 53?

texts:
I've been trying to run Civilization:Beyond Earth, but either since I've upgraded to Windows 10 or the Rising Tide expansion came out (or both), I can't.

Most of the times, I get the launcher asking to select between regular or AMD Mantle. No matter which I choose, the launcher will come back.

After a couple of retries, I get an Error 53 (Steam servers are too busy).

I've found a couple of solutions that worked for other people, but they didn't for me:

Disable/remove anti-virus
Disable Windows Defender realtime scanning
Flush the Steam local cache with steam://flushconfig

I'm still getting the same problem, and the further I dig into the Steam support, I just keep seeing the same three things (and something about clientregistry.blob which apparently isn't a thing anymore).

So - what else is blocking me?


texts:
I first encountered a Cuccoo in the Great Fairy Fountain of Faron Woods. Zelda logic dictates that attacking a Cuccoo is a very bad idea. However, Zelda logic also dictates that thou must. For giggles (Link, Hero of Hyrule!).

So I set about carving myself off a drumstick and, inevitably, soon had an army of angry drumsticks making life miserable for my brave comrades (Link, Hero of Hyrule!).

After beating up the leader, a new, shining, golden Cuccoo appeared with about 5 times the health and designs on a new green hat. Shiny gold things usually mean treasure, so I abandoned Faron Woods and its defenders to their fate, in pursuit of personal riches (Link, Hero of Hyrule!).

Sadly, after defeating the Golden Cuccoo, nothing happened other than the rest of the Cuccoos fleeing the field. Not so much as a Rupee was dropped from the fallen hen.

Is there any benefit at all to fighting the Cuccoos and their golden leader?

texts:
I was playing League of Legend earlier today and someone disconnects from the game. We were actually in the lead before he disconnected but because it turned into a 4v5, we started to lose.

Due to this fact, someone decides he was done playing and rage quits. And of course the other two did the same as a 3v5 was definitely hopeless. I decided to stay just for fun so it turned into a 1v5. A one man army.

I was curious what would happen if I was to leave too. Would the game end as though we had surrendered? Or would the game keep going for a certain amount of time just in case someone reconnects. This is especially relevant in cases where you are having a LAN party and the internet goes out momentarily.

What about if you are having a LAN party with 10 friends and are in a custom game together. If the internet goes out, what happens to the game? Will it automatically end or will it continue for a while in case the players reconnect.


texts: What is the chance a survivor will get better?

texts:
When a survivor falls ill or is seriously injured, there is a chance that they may become infected and may not heal from that injection. This will result in the survivor turning into a zombie, who will then attack other members of your party at your base.

Kill the survivor
Evict the survivor from your base
Defer the decision until later

If you defer the decision, what are the chances of the survivor becoming infected and turning into a zombie? Is this related to the amount of medicine you have on base or any other factors? Is it worth always killing off a survivor in case they turn?

texts:
For example, I have 10k dark elixir and x gems as long its enough to buy another 2.5k dark elixir so I can upgrade my Barbarian King to level two.

So my question is, when the game asks me if I want to buy more dark elixir to have enough for the upgrade, if I do buy the remaining 2.5k dark elixir, will the game let me or will it not and ask me to upgrade my storage instead?

texts: Can I play Red Dead Redemption 2 as a good guy?

texts:
So, clearly the backstory of RDR2 is that you're an outlaw.  That said, it appears from gameplay videos that there's plenty to do that's neutral and even honorable.  But it's also apparent that there are plenty of options for outlaws who don't mind breaking the law and/or slaughtering people to get what they want.

So, is it possible to play RDR2 as a "good guy"?  Sure, it may be necessary to hunt down bandits, shoot outlaws, etc. but it is possible to go through the entire story without doing anything like robbing or killing innocent/neutral NPCs?

(and yes, the distinction between the "good guy" and a "morally ambiguous protagonist" may be up for debate.  But there are clearly games like GTA where it's easy to recognize you're the anti-hero.  Is RDR2 one of those games?)

Being a bounty hunter is probably one of the most fun roles to play, but does it pay the most? I've seen collectors getting around 300$ or 200$ when they complete a collection. That was a long time ago though, and I don't know if the prices of the collections have gone down.

texts: How can I recover a disconnected Warcraft 3 multiplayer game?

texts:
When playing Warcraft 3 multiplayer maps, there exists the option to save the game. The caution is given that only the original players are able to rejoin the map. I have discovered that a map saved after a disconnect does not permit them to rejoin.

The only solution obvious to me would be to edit the savegame files to add the player back in in control of their forces. How to accomplish that, or any other method of recovering a networked game will be accepted.

Instructions to eliminate disconnections from a hostile network environment will also be accepted. Final testing was done in a LAN game over a gigabit switch to minimize the effects of network latency.

As far as I know they should spawn as long as a player is between 24 - 128 blocks away.

I have tried different y levels or different XYZ levels, but nothing. Only one or two spawn sometimes.

texts: How can I efficiently manage my stash unit's space/weight?

texts:
Fallout 76 has a Stash Unit that each player gets.  It has a weight limit of 400.  This means that overtime it will fill up and you will not be able to stash any more items into it.  400 may seem like a decent amount, but having played only for a few hours in the beta and a few hours after launch, my stash unit is full.

I am finding it increasingly harder to manage my stash.  I have a small base setup at my camp, but the only stash unit I have is the actual stash unit box.  There are other containers one can build, but at level 17, I still do not have a single crafting plan for any of the other stash units, and thus I cannot build them. I also do not know if these other containers are independent of one another, or are all apart of the combined stash.

It seems this 400 weight restriction is quite a nuisance to many players, and supposedly Bethesda will be addressing the issue sometime soon.  In the meantime, what are effective measures one can take to handle their stash?

texts: Which is more important and when: Buying property or collecting promotions?

texts:
Game: Fortune Street series, specifically the Wii version

There are cases where you have the choice to buy more property or to take the path that leads to a faster promotion. For example, you could turn left to get the fourth suit, or your could turn right to land on a valuable, unowned shop. Promotions seem like they provide more money than anything else on a consistent basis, but of course having expensive shops provides money in random bursts directly from opponents.

Is one of these choices definitively better than the other? Does this balance change depending on the stage of the game?


texts:
I was playing Donkey Kong Land for the first time last night and it saved after the first level. I figured it would save after every level, but after I completed the second level and went to the third, it didn't save.

How do I tell the game I want to save? Is that an option, or does it only save every few levels?

I know I can work around this somewhat by abusing the restore point feature on the 3DS Virtual Console games, but I'd like to save the game properly if I can.

Does anyone have any knowledge of minecart physics they can share or quote from external sources.

I'd like to know about the changes in speed and kinetic energy/momentum when using different types of rail going uphill, downhill, flat, diagonal, and on a turn.

Once I have enough information to effectively calculate efficient minecart and rail solutions I shall place it on an edit at the end of the question for reference.

Thanks in advance!

texts:
I am wondering how the size of the farm and the number of workers for that farm relate to each other. In my first town I was able to build large farms but went through many different layouts and sizes. I settled on a 10x10 farm and it seemed that as long as I kept my farmers with tools, a single farmer was able to plant, tend and harvest a 99-100% yield on the farm.

In my second town my layout is a bit more constricted as I decided to play in a mountainous area. My fields at 6x15 but still restricted to a single farmer on each of them.

What has struck me as odd here however is that I am often able to start harvesting a complete field in Summer in the second town. This pretty much never happened in the first town and the size of the fields is only differing by 10 units vs half a season (the first town would always start to harvest in fall).

So, this has brought up a few questions in regards to farming that I would like to figure out.

What is the best size of a field either by dimensions or by area they cover?
Is there any benefit to having more than one farmer on a field?
If I do not restrict the farmers will they roam from field to field to take care of them?
Should I build something like a second Fishing dock to send the farmers to during the winter?

Any additional 'Keep this in mind's area also welcome in this post, but these are the topics that I would like to shed some light in the area of farming.

texts: How to make a joystick axis completely undetectable in Windows 7?

texts:
I have an old Saitek ST290 Pro USB joystick and I only have one problem: some games such as Jane's F-15 or F/A-18, will detect the stick's terrible, godawful throttle control, which is built into the controller, placed underneath my arm, and then, in a display of some developers' infinite genius, require me to use it without giving me any option to disable it, often going as far as to disable in-game throttle on other controllers such as my keyboard.

For those wondering, this is the joystick, the paddle/lever on the back is the throttle:

All I need is for this throttle control to be completely undetected by Windows 7 or my games, as if it does not exist.  I would especially appreciate something I could apply to "any" controller or joystick though I'll take a solution specific to my Joystick if I must.

Suggestions I have tried which I can remember off of the top of my head:

Generic Joystick Driver: I can't seem to find any for Windows 7 that aren't viruses/malware.  I do have my computer set up to load unsigned drivers, such as XBCD.
PPJoy: doesn't detect my joystick, and it's not parallel port anyway
Use Joy2Key to map throttle to certain keypresses: Works only for a few games.  Usual result is the throttle axis does absolutely nothing while the controls that are normally mapped to the throttle are completely disabled (in Jane's F-15 I'll have no throttle control whatsoever).
Saitek's Joystick Profiler: no way of disabling an axis and all ways I have tried to manipulate the throttle axis (I can't remember the specifics) have had detrimental or no effect.
Open the joystick and cut the cord to the throttle: throttle is detected but obviously does nothing because the wires to it are cut...
Rewire the throttle to something like a thumb-dial or slider that is more accessible/practical to use: my electronics expertise peaked at putting the cords back together after doing the above.
Buy a better joystick: no, I don't have that kind of money, I can't buy online anyway, and all joysticks I can find in local stores exhibit this exact same kind of throttle (under the arm) and so would lead me to this exact same problem.

I just unlocked the Steel upgrade from the library, but nothing has changed (I think). The tooltip reads

ironPerTick: 0.02

Even when I increase happiness to 91% (with hunters loot) there is no coal.
According to this question, I should have 30% of the materials, but I've got 3K wood, 1.8K minerals and 600 iron. That should do the trick if a new building should be unlocked, I suppose.

texts: The Big Dig: Mel ran into the bleachers and I can't find him

texts:
I released the Protectron which caused a huge fight, during which Mel escaped prison and ran out the front door.  When I tried to find him later, his arrow was pointing up into the bleachers somewhere near or above the mayor's office in Diamond City.  I've spent hours running around trying to find a path to him, but I just can't.  Thinking this might be a bug, I finally resorted to console commands to summon him to me, but nothing I've try has worked:

help mel 0

This returns a TON of results, because "mel" is in "melee".  The only references I can find that might be relevant are:

NPC_: (00052174) 'Mel'
VTYP: NPCMMel (00052179) "

I've then tried prid on both of those IDs (and every number in between), but all of them threw an Invalid object reference error.

If anyone has a solution, either via some hidden path in the game that I just haven't found, or via console commands, I'd love to hear it.  I can't progress this quest without him, which means I can't get Hancock as a companion.

With that, I'm able to plan  my journey and know what to do so that I can efficiently plan my operations in the game.

With that said, is there any way I can do the same in Pokemon Go?
Obviously, not to take down portals, but to weave my daily commute to school to pass through as many PokeStops or Gyms (and Portals) as possible for the sake of resource gathering?

texts: Why is there no single player in "looking to play" section in CSGO and every time I solo queue I get matched up with new accounts without any medals?

texts: This has been happening for the last few days. I don’t know if it's because of the new update or what, but I can barely see any players in the "looking to play" section. There are only a few people. Usually there are a lot of players from the neighboring countries and from similar ranks to mine. MY internet connection is okay; I didn’t even get high ping. Does anyone know why?


texts: Whats so interesting about the picket fence at the St. Johns Dairy in Episode 2?

texts:
When you are in the front garden of the St. Johns Dairy farm in Episode 2 you can examine part of the picket fence to the left (as you are facing it) of the gate leading up to the front door of the house. Lee remarks that it is, 'very interesting' or words to that effect.

Yet it seems entirely unremarkable to me and I have now finished this chapter and the only thing that seemed to relate was,

   After I was confronted by Andrew St. John outside the house and was fighting him we
 fell down the banking and crashed through roughly the same part of the fence but there >! is no way that Lee could have known that was going to happen.

Did I miss something about this fence?


texts: How do I determine connection quality on my PS3?

texts:
Is there an option or is there a site that will let you rate connection quality and tell you if there is some particular mechanism (like an unavailable port) that is not working?

Is there some app at the PSN store, is there a site that I can visit throught the PS3 internet browser?

Games are getting more robust, but the downside is that the symptoms of poor connectivity is more subtle and give various odd gameplay behavior instead. The fact that exploits and hacks are easily confused with glitches doesn't make the matter easier.

However, I am taking average of four minutes in joining Assassins creed brotherhood multiplayer waiting for hooking up with other players. While online videos show others barely having the time to sit straight in the chair before the game starts.

Just to be clear, I am not looking for general advice on my home network like wired vs wireless or how to configure the router. I am looking for some service or test that will tell me wether the connection is up to speed.

Thank you for reading.

texts: Does the original iPad meet the minimum system requirements for NOVA 3?

texts:
After some research, it would seem that nobody who owns an original iPad (1st generation) plays N.O.V.A. 3.

I'm asking if singleplayer and multiplayer are playable on the first iPad. In this case that means the fog isn't so close you can't see others, and the frame-rate isn't so low it's hard to control.

How is the performance of N.O.V.A. 3 on the original iPad?

Also, the multiplayer performance on the iPod 4 is supposed to be bad, so I was wondering if someone is able to confirm this too.

Thanks!

Why won't trains come to my city?

I have seen zero trains travelling on this path that starts in my city and goes past the Greats Works then off the Region Map.

No trains come to either my passenger train station or my trade port rail station. I understand if no passenger trains come since this city isn't connected directly to another city in the region, however I have been trying to export AND import goods yet no trains come to deliver any goods.

Is this a bug? Is this particular region map & city location just doomed because it doesn't connect to another city?


texts: will I miss any content or options by buying dark souls 2 scholar instead of the base version?

texts:
I haven't played any Dark Souls 2 at all. And the difficulty of Dark Souls 1, while interesting was a bit much. I heard Dark Souls 2 Scholar raises the difficulty of DS2. So I was thinking I should buy the base DS2 game without scholar. Unless there are options in DS2:Scholar that let you play easier version and you don't miss any content.

Is there content not in DS2:Scholar that is in DS2 base? Can I play the original difficulty buying DS2:Scholar?

texts: How do I descend the skull cave quickly?

texts:
I know that a lot of iridium can be found in the lower levels of the Skull Cave.  The lower you go, the more will spawn on the floor.  But how do I descend the caves fast?  Since the bus doesn't operate until 10am everyday, and the longest you can go before becoming unconscious is until 2am, there are effectively ~15.5 hours of time to explore the cave, once you factor in having to walk to it.  Realistically, I would say there is about 14.5 hours to explore, if you would like to make it out without going unconscious and potentially losing items.

I know there are holes one can fall down to advance a certain amount of floors, but this isn't that effective since finding the holes is pretty much random and it damages you.  Like the other mines, you can find ladders that take you down a level, but this is also slow since you need to keep mining to find them, or kill enemies.  Is there a fast and effective way to descend?

texts:
In recent games against the AI in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (BFGA), I've grown more and more suspicious that the AI can actually has you identified (or at least a red blip) at all times.

They appear perfectly able to fire weapons or actions that require identification( like homing missiles) at times when they shouldn't be able to see you at all (such as when you are hiding in a cloud).

Along with this, they don't appear to have any trouble following a ship that is running silent, hiding in a nebula, or has a "This ship doesn't appear at all" skill active. I know everything I listed completely hides you completely because the enemy AI employs it against me all the time and I had hoped to do the same thing back at them.

So are they able to see you at all times no matter what you are doing or is there something important I have missed?

texts:
With a simple setup like the one in the picture with a double chest connected to 2 hoppers, you can get stacks of items evenly distributed. In this setup half would end up in each single chest.

In my single player world (1.12) I have made a sorting system and I want half my cobblestones to go to a smelter and the other half to go to a storage chest. My sorting system has hopper lines going in from all my farms, mines and so on so all my items pass that way. Using this mechanism worked really fine during testing, I plonked stacks of stone into the input chest and I could add more chests and hoppers to divert ¼ or other fractions as I pleased.

However, when I hooked it all up to my supply line it only sent items to the first hopper. I realized the problem is that the double chest only receives one item at a time so it will always get sent to the same hopper.

Is there a simple way to remedy this? Can I make it retain items until there is a stack of 2 before sending them to the double chest?


texts: How to summon this sequence of stacked mobs

texts:
I am making a costum map and I want to summon this kind of "mob tower"

 M
---
 V
---
 B

Where M= Invisible Mooshroom, V=Villager and B=bat. --- are layers of obsidian blocks that already exists in the world.

The Villager is used for some mob tracking magic using Zombies. The bat is for randomizing the movement of the stack and the invisible Mooshroom is used for targeting other commands. There should also be a way to kill a single stack (i.e. kill Mooshroom, Villager and Bat, without killing all of them.

The logic of the game I try to make is this:

Four stacks will be summoned on the field.
After a random time the mooshroom closest to the center of the field will explode, I teleport primed TNT to it.
The villager and the bat of that stack will be killed as well as every zombie in the game.
The next closest stack will do the same until all 4 stacks are gone.

I have tried summoning different stacks and watching some tutorials but I have major trouble getting the spacing right, I just can't get any space between them. Also I forgot how an effect is added. I did found that invisibility is effect 23 or something (I can figure that out myself, don't even worry about it) but I don't know the syntax.

Can someone just tell me the commands for spawning and killing the stack?

texts: Do kills immediately after victory/defeat count towards your match total?

texts:
I've noticed that immediately after the match "Victory"/"Defeat" notification, there is a brief period before the winner screen shows up where you can still get kills on some players. You can confirm the kills with the sound that you hear when you kill players.

Do these kills count towards your match total?

For example, if I get 30 kills as Reaper and the "Victory" notification pops up, and before the winner screen appears I complete my 31st kill against a Mercy, does the game record me as having made 30 or 31 kills during the match?

texts: How to keep players in a specific PEX group from leaving an area (no plugins)?

texts:
Right now we have a spawn area surrounded in barrier blocks with minecarts.

As an applicant, you are in adventure mode, and cannot interact with anything.

As a member (once promoted), you can get in the minecart. When you shift to get out, it puts you outside the barrier block (through clever placement of blocks).

My question is - is there a more elegant solution than this?

I thought of command blocks to tp @p outside (which adventure mode applicants wouldn't be able to interact with), but if the applicant is standing on top of the pressure plate when the member comes along and triggers it, the applicant is the closest player.

What alternative is there?

Edit: Just to add - we are a strictly vanilla server and want to use as few plugins as possible. Thanks in advance.

texts: What determines the level of random encounters?

texts:
Playing FFT I've noticed that random encounters scale up with the level of the party -- meaning that trying to 'safely' train up a new soldier gets tricky when he's level 2 and everyone else on either side is level 40+. Sure, the few attacks he gets in, assuming he hits at all, will net him dozens of XP, but he has to get that hit in first and everything on the map can one-shot him.

Moreover, since Ramza has to be present for every non-random battle (And he has several unique abilities in Mettle that are too good to pass up) his level will tend to go up significantly faster than anyone else's.

What I'm thinking of doing is setting up a "B" team of lower level characters to handle the occasional random encounter. However, if the random encounters' level is determined by the highest level in the entire party as opposed to the highest level in the active battle group, that won't help -- hence my question.

So I murdered a cop for his uniform the other day.  I had planned to use it to infiltrate a strip club and murder the owner, but on the way, I realized that I'd be better off dressed as a bouncer. Luckily, there was a bouncer in a secluded area nearby.  I let the alive out of him and absconded with his uniform.

A minute later I activated a checkpoint.  Shortly afterward, I got killed.

"Aha!" says I.  "I'm still wearing the bouncer disguise!".  Expecting (reasonably, one might say) the area to still be clear, I ran through and was promptly shot to death by the bouncer, miraculously re-alive and not even a little bit stabbed (or naked)!

texts: How were the protagonist and co. able to take out real items and money from the world of cognition?

texts:
I never played any of the previous Persona games and thus might be a bit lacking in the background knowledge, which Persona 5 didn't do much to explain (I think as is the tradition for many Japanese games, it assumed that many players would have already been fans of the series). The game only mentioned that the mother of Futaba accomplished some groundbreaking research about the world of cognition, but it never explicitly explained what those research findings actually were.

It just struck me as weird that the protagonist and co. were able to take out real items from the worlds of cognition they raided and sell them at the shop "Untouchable". Also, they were able to obtain a replica gold medal as well as the original drawing by Yusuke's mother, etc. They were even able to obtain real money from the battles!

Is there any coherent explanation for why they would be able to do so from a Persona worldview (Possibly from earlier installations of the game as well)? Or would it just be explained more as a kind of pure RPG game mechanism? Persona 5 certainly has strived to close as many plot loopholes as possible, but I'd still feel that some of the story felt a bit forced, especially the endgame part after the "recollection" of the protagonist finally ended (particularly the part for the final boss battle), which just felt a bit rushed and nonsensical. Overall it's still a quite fascinating story, of course.

texts: Visitor and Vendor names render as rectangles

texts:
I've just gone back to playing Planet Coaster (PC, via Steam), and I've noticed that some of my visitors and vendors have names which render as little vertical boxes. This is what I see for my Loony Bloons vendor, for example:

As you can see in the top bar, the vendor's name is rendered as four little rectangles for each first and last names.
I also see this on occasion with visitors. The number of rectangles isn't consistent, as if they represent actual letters in names that just aren't rendering correctly. I'm uncertain if this vendor ever had a "normal" name, or if he was created like this when I placed his shop.
Here's an example with visitors. The selected visitor has the funky "rectangles" in their name; their companion is named "zsr716720" which is ... equally suspect.

What is causing this? Am I missing a font or something? It doesn't seem to affect game functionality as far as I can tell.
The one theory I had was that the game would place the avatars of other users and have them visit the part -- this would explain the "zsr" visitor, if that happened to be a username of another user. (Planet Zoo, from the same publisher, has a similar mechanic.) This wouldn't explain the vendors, though.

texts: What is the most reliable way to get saplings from leaves?

texts:
I've started trying my hand at tree farming (I was starting to reach a tipping point where cutting trees was affecting the aesthetic of my base island).  After an initial few rounds cutting trees and smashing leaves I felt like my setup was going to work well.

However, of late I've been getting fewer than one sapling per tree.  Obviously that isn't sustainable for long and I've had to go back to taller trees (far from my farm) that I had previously chopped and build temporary dirt towers to reach the floating leaves I had left behind.

I've previously assumed (and not read anything to the contrary) that saplings were dropped randomly so perhaps I'm just getting a string of 'tails' and ascribing it non-randomness but it certainly feels like there must be some pattern to getting saplings that I was initially following by accident and am failing to follow now.

So is there any way to increase sapling output, such as by using different tools (sword?), time of day, whether I cross my eyes in or out, etc?

I've been buying iron mining machines for 3 days. I get 400 iron bars per minute right now, and the costs for the minimng machines is higher everytime.

This is going to last weeks until I can amass 9.000.000 iron bars, necessary to buy the plane.

Maybe I missed something. It is strange to me that the game turn so difficult to continue. There is anything I can do to improve my iron bars obtention rate?


texts: Can I get banned for using LSI (League Summoner Information)?

texts:
I have been using LSI for about a week, what this program allows me to do is:

Edit what champions I get when I type in the search bar.
In game allows me to view all the damage i took from every source.
Allows me to open a side window with viewable information to every player's rank, runes, masteries and so forth.
Allows me to stop league audio from resetting after a patch. (Thank God for this!)

These are the main features, i was wondering, can i get banned for using this? Because it isn't giving me an unfair gameplay advantage over the enemy team, nor any information i can't obtain from other websites, like lolking.net and such


texts: What is the actual function of the third torch in the comparator?
