texts: What hero abilities can kill illusion heroes instantly (or close to instakilling)?

texts:
My question is similar to this one, except that I'm looking for heroes with skills that can kill illusions easily without physical/AoE damage.

I played a game where opposite team had both Naga Siren and Chaos Knight. I don't really remember what I was playing or who my teammates were playing as, but I remember we got crushed badly. I know AoE heroes that do mass damage can take care of illusions decently (Sven), or a hero with massive Aoe spell damage would do too (CM, SK).

However, are there any heroes who can naturally kill illusions almost instantly? Also, do these skills make that hero worthy as a counter-draft, or is the better strategy just to stick with AoE damage?

Ones that I know of:

Medusa - Stone Gaze, if petrified successfully, all petrified illusions die immediately
Disruptor - Glimpse, will instakill a single illusion

texts: Where are the whole League of Legend installation files/caches located after download?

texts:
A few google search of mine came up with these results #1, #2 though it's not helpful to me on my Windows 7 PC.

So, where are the downloaded files? I download from official site here.

p.s.

The starter installation file LoL_Install_151015.exe is of course easily accessed via the web browser in Dowloads section - what I'm asking is the files that are then downloaded by this starter.

When starter is run, it will download about 2-3 gigabytes more, and when done, executing the starter will open the LoL game installation dialog as below snapshot. Where are those later-downloaded files location?

** Update **

As @Aequitas recommended below, I use Search Everything, and see one DataStore.edb which is the most prominent candidate.


texts: Disney Infinity 2.0 - Where is all the story content?

texts:
I picked up Disney Infinity 2.0 for WiiU at a steep discount, and it just has Merida and her story token.  I'm able to play her story line, but not interested in the toy box mode.  I picked up a stack of tokens at a second hand store that just change colors and add toybox features, so those are sitting on the shelf.

The Marvel Infinity 2.0 characters I purchased won't work in Merida's world.  So I guess I need to pick up some Marvel tokens too.

Here's the short question:
I'm interested in the story progression.  What stories should I seek out in Infinity 2.0, and what additional pieces do I need to purchase?

So now I'm wondering how many different slots for clothing and armor there are actually, and which pieces I can wear at the same time.

  How to reduce notoriety in the frontier?

Is there a way to reduce this notoriety without going to a different area (or heading back to Boston to take down some signs)?

(I don't believe this is a duplicate of this question, though the answer may be the same. This is about notoriety that I earned through my actions in the frontier, not the base notoriety that you automatically have in certain frontier areas.

I'm in the dungeon beneath Formello, and within a secret passageway I found another secret switch. However, when I try to use it, I get the message "You think there is a concealed control here, but you can't figure out how to get it to work". In the first Avernum game, which this one is a remake of, you basically just tried to walk through walls to find secrets. There were rarely switches, so I'm not sure what kinds of mechanics govern them now.

This is the second switch I've come across that I've gotten this message for, though the other ten or so I've seen so far have worked just fine.

Are switches like this unusable because you have to first do something in another part of the dungeon? Is the ability to use it somehow tied to a skill such as Tool Use or maybe Cave Lore? Something else entirely?

For example, if I buy two digital copies (on the Nintendo Eshop), and two 'bases' (I don't know how those are called) and we already have the two figures, will it work at the point that we'll be able to play it online/multiplayer?

I don't have and I'm not planning to get the starter pack, I'm trying to find a solution because it's too expensive.

I want to buy the full game and play the game in sandbox mode, but if it's all dialogue/quests I won't enjoy it.

So how much of the game is like that? Is it only at the start as like a tutorial to teach you how to play? Or is the whole game like that?

texts: How do I invert the /testfor command's result?

texts:
Following up on an almost identical question you can find here, I would now like a solution that works in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Here is the text of the other question:

/testfor, /testforblock, and /testforblocks are all part of the same group of commands and are similar in what they do after their test. They are only useful when their output is measured using redstone comparators (not recommended) or when combined in a chain with other commands (most often way)
It's quite simple. If the test returns TRUE, any conditional command blocks later in the chain will run (unless stopped by a different failed command in between). If the test returns FALSE, the conditional command blocks won't run.
I would like to invert the check, so that if the entity does not exist /testfor, or if the block is not what is specified /testforblock, or if the block regions don't match/testforblocks, then the subsequent commands in the chain will run, and if the check passes, they will not run. How can I do this?
(I suspect that for /testforblock, it's as simple as placing a ! before the block name, but I'm not sure if the ! operator existed in 1.12. For /testfor and /testforblocks, absolutely no idea.)

You can find the accepted answer by  clicking on the link above. However, this solution does not work in Bedrock Edition, as I cannot test for NBT tags like {SuccessCount:1}.
How can I accomplish this task? The only thing I can think of is using comparators and a redstone torch, but I'm 99% sure there is a better way.

texts: Looking for a way to spawn a chest with custom axe

texts:
I've got an axe via this command (via command blocks)

 /give @p golden_axe 1 0 {display:{Name:"Thor's Axe",Lore:["The godliest","of the godliest."]},AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.maxHealth",Name:"generic.maxHealth",Amount:40,Operation:0,UUIDMost:69160,UUIDLeast:521589},{AttributeName:"generic.followRange",Name:"generic.followRange",Amount:32,Operation:0,UUIDMost:99396,UUIDLeast:851924},{AttributeName:"generic.knockbackResistance",Name:"generic.knockbackResistance",Amount:500,Operation:0,UUIDMost:76900,UUIDLeast:463228},{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Amount:0.5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:34152,UUIDLeast:644098},{AttributeName:"generic.attackDamage",Name:"generic.attackDamage",Amount:5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:85956,UUIDLeast:818955}],Unbreakable:1}

However, my intentions were to put it into a summoned chest command. So I tried this:

/setblock ~1 ~ ~ chest 0 replace {Items:[{golden_axe 0 1 {display:{Name:"Thor's Axe",Lore:["The godliest","of the godliest."]},AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.maxHealth",Name:"generic.maxHealth",Amount:40,Operation:0,UUIDMost:69160,UUIDLeast:521589},{AttributeName:"generic.followRange",Name:"generic.followRange",Amount:32,Operation:0,UUIDMost:99396,UUIDLeast:851924},{AttributeName:"generic.knockbackResistance",Name:"generic.knockbackResistance",Amount:500,Operation:0,UUIDMost:76900,UUIDLeast:463228},{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Amount:0.5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:34152,UUIDLeast:644098},{AttributeName:"generic.attackDamage",Name:"generic.attackDamage",Amount:5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:85956,UUIDLeast:818955}],Unbreakable:1}}]}

However then I get a JSON error about seperators:

[00:04:05] Data tag parsing failed: Unable to locate name/value separator for string: golden_axe {display:{Name:"Thor's Axe",Lore:["The godliest","of the godliest."]},AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.maxHealth",Name:"generic.maxHealth",Amount:40,Operation:0,UUIDMost:69160,UUIDLeast:521589},{AttributeName:"generic.followRange",Name:"generic.followRange",Amount:32,Operation:0,UUIDMost:99396,UUIDLeast:851924},{AttributeName:"generic.knockbackResistance",Name:"generic.knockbackResistance",Amount:500,Operation:0,UUIDMost:76900,UUIDLeast:463228},{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Amount:0.5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:34152,UUIDLeast:644098},{AttributeName:"generic.attackDamage",Name:"generic.attackDamage",Amount:5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:85956,UUIDLeast:818955}],Unbreakable:1}

Now I'm stumped. I found something like the one above; but it worked - but WITHOUT the custome attributes.

Is there anyway to put the axe :

    "{golden_axe {display:{Name:"Thor's Axe",Lore:["The godliest","of the godliest."]},AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.maxHealth",Name:"generic.maxHealth",Amount:40,Operation:0,UUIDMost:69160,UUIDLeast:521589},{AttributeName:"generic.followRange",Name:"generic.followRange",Amount:32,Operation:0,UUIDMost:99396,UUIDLeast:851924},{AttributeName:"generic.knockbackResistance",Name:"generic.knockbackResistance",Amount:500,Operation:0,UUIDMost:76900,UUIDLeast:463228},{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Amount:0.5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:34152,UUIDLeast:644098},{AttributeName:"generic.attackDamage",Name:"generic.attackDamage",Amount:5,Operation:0,UUIDMost:85956,UUIDLeast:818955}],Unbreakable:1}}]"

Into the chest? (summon command or setblock)

texts: PS3 sometimes launch and sometimes don't

texts:
Somebody gave me a PS3, and when I power it on, (From no light to red light) it stays on. Then, after I push the power again, the light changes to green and I can hear the disk start to spin, and then power goes off completely. But here's where it gets odd: Sometimes it stays on for 3 seconds, sometimes I can play for an hour or so, and sometimes it gets as far as the PS3 intro screen and then shuts off.

Also, when I first got it (from a friend), it had a game stuck in it and I had to open it up to remove the game. Right after I took out the game, it worked fine for about an hour. If this helps, I have the 3001a series with no disk light.

texts:
The more I play ADOM, the more I realise there is a pattern in the way I die. It's always in the first dungeon, where I have to find the carpenter, and I will seem to do fine until some monster, different every time, but of no rare type, will come along and start beating me and I for some reason will be unable to even hit it. There is nothing special about these monsters, once a fire beetle killed me, after I had killed 3 beetles before it in the same playthrough, another time a skeleton.... The game just seems to pick a monster and say "right, you are now invincible, go kill the player" and of course, I can do nothing about it, because almost none of the classes I play (all apart from Necromancer, Elementalist, Priest and spellcaster classes in general) can do anything in the first 6 or so levels apart from basic attacks.

Just now I was playing a monk, I reached a level where, apparently, I could use "circular kick" but even that I couldn't find out how to do. Not that it would've helped, as I had no way of healing myself in combat.

Am I missing something? is there some way to ensure I get through at least the first dungeon without dying stupid deaths every single time?

texts: What's the name of the song in mission 14 in Halo 5: Guardians?

texts:
In mission 14 of the campaign ("The Breaking") there is a beautiful piece of soundtrack combining the original Halo theme and the Halo 4 theme.

Occurrence:

   The song plays during charging through the Promethean lines until you reach the triple Warden Eternal.

Does anyone know if this song is part of the Original Soundtrack and if so, what the name of the song is?

(MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD)
The song can be heard here (video already starts at the correct spot). The song goes on for a few minutes.

texts: Are my towers refusing to shoot each other?

texts:
I've been playing Defense Grid: The Awakening, and I can't help but notice that my towers (most noticable with flame / laser so far) seem to get in the way of each other; their cone (or line) of fire stops whenever it would 'shoot' an allied tower instead.

Is this a bug? Am I going crazy?

If it's intended, are there any towers which don't behave like this (which is to say, obeying the perceived line of effects)?


texts: How many people could you take on in a fight?

texts:
A while back I played Planetside for a time. I remember sometimes not being able to get to a particular continent because the number of players on it was too high.

How many players were allowed on a continent at once? Was it an overall cap, or a cap of players per faction (e.g. to keep battles more even)? Basically, what was the maximum number of people your faction could be facing in a particular battle at any time?

texts: How do I get the bonus treasure in the Mirro Shaz shrine?

texts:
The Mirro Shaz shrine is fairly straightforward; you walk in, there is a ball tee'd up in the middle of the room, and a chest with a sledgehammer. Use Stasis on the ball, swing a few times with the hammer, bing bang boom, this golf game is over and the door opens when the ball lands in the hole on the other side of the wall.

Simple enough.

But where's the bonus treasure!?!? Every shrine has bonus treasure, and a simple iron sledgehammer required to solve the puzzle surely isn't it!

  Are weapons and armor damaged by anything other than death?

Okay, so each item has durability. Other than by death, what makes an item lose durability? I'm assuming attacking makes the weapon lose durability, but other than that:

If I never get damage, does my armor lose durability?
What affects the rate of durability loss? Why is my helmet currently at lower durability than my torso armor?
What makes rings and amulets lose durability?
If I use a lot of shift-clicking to attack at range, do I lose durability if I miss?

But I guess this all boils down to when does an item lose durability, and at what rate does that happen?

texts: Can creatures move diagonally through walls?

texts:
I've told my dwarves to build a protective rock 'sheath' around my column of up/down stairs (thrust to the floor of a cavern) in the following pattern:

OOOO
RXXO
RXXO
OROO

O = Wall build order
R = Rock
X = Stairs

But they've decided (in their wisdom) to leave the parts above cavern-ground-level as such:

OWWO
RXXW
RXXW
ORWO

W = Wall

Since the walls are preventing my dwarves from completing the building, will they also stop bats and other horrors from getting in and scaring my dwarves away from my main (and only) staircase?

I know, I know, I should have put preventative measures in place before breaching the cavern, but it's my first time!


texts:
I have a problem with the windowed mode. It will scale to the actual resolution, thus giving me a 20fps or so. I want to have the resolution set in the game (like 1280x800), but upscaled into the window size.

So ... it would give a (more) blurry picture, than the native resolution (obviously), but I would get a faster gameplay, and windowed gameplay functionality. I could change songs in my music player with ease, respond to my friends on Skype/MSN/Steam/XMPP/whatsoever.


texts: I love the game Pushmo. I like the idea of being able to create and share my own levels, but I am not quite sure how to do that.

Or is there a website or something somewhere where I cam upload my QR codes (and possibly get QR codes from other players)?


texts:
In Simcity Buildit I have noticed that the NPC city has larger buildings than I have in my own. What allows you to upgrade to those? I have many times had no buildings left to upgrade because all were upgraded to their max. None of my buildings would offer upgrades until I built new building.

This makes me think there are some factors of the game that control what upgrade level a building can be at max. I have upgraded roads connected to buildings and still do not ever get upgrade options for them (and even when I run out of buildings viable to upgrade.

I should also note that my level is greater than the NPC player (he has changed level a couple of times after I passed him, but typically seems to take a few levels before that happens)


texts: Is there an easy way to tell which stacks in a battle have all their units?

texts: It is important to try to get through as many battles as possible without losing any units, but I find it tedious to constantly right-click every stack to see if they are at full strength, and I've gotten burned a couple times by forgetting to heal a stack before ending the battle when I could've easily done so.  I don't care how many hit points the "top" creature has, I just want to make sure that no units are lost, so that when the battle ends I'm still at full strength.  Are there any options or anything I can turn on to make this easier?

texts: (Front Mission SNES) How can I beat Driscoll in mission 5 (Find Karen's Hospital)

texts:
This question is about a mission in the original Front Mission game on SNES.

I know it is not required to complete the level (just killing all the normal wanzers is enough) but it seems doable, plus I heard he gives a ton of EXP and money which makes the next few levels easier.

The only strategy I have is having the team running around in circles and pepper him with missiles. But once the missiles run out I can't get in range to shoot at him without him killing me in the next turn.

So, is there any strategy to beat Driscoll in this mission?

Am I correct? Is this structure's purpose to connect two otherwise unconnected networks so they can access each-other's inventory and crafting system?

texts:
I've been playing SRTT for a while now and this whole thing with Zimos and that golden mic he uses and his sing song voice has always had me confused. He really only seems to make an appearance in this one game in the series so I doubt there's a lot of backstory available for him but he acts as if he has throat cancer.

He's the only character I see smoking in the game.
The golden mic always goes to his throat, not his mouth.
We never see his throat uncovered; even in the pony outfit he has a choker across his throat.

So, is the golden mic supposed to be like those devices people who've had their vocal chords removed use to talk? Is it just a style thing that it gives his voice a lyrical quality rather than a scratchy artificial sound?

Yes, I know that in the final analysis it probably doesn't matter but it's got me curious now and if there is any work on the back stories of the SRTT characters, I'd love to know where to find it.

I'm a newbie to Minecraft, and not a computer whiz, so I fully expect I'm going something wrong here.

texts: PSX memory cards/savegames getting corrupted

texts:
My wife recently picked me up a clean, used original-design PSX (not the PSOne style, if that makes a difference) as another console for my man-cave's "retro-gaming corner".

I have been playing FFVII and Gran Turismo on it, using the same memory card for both. The card looks like the genuine Sony article, and came with the console. However, I have been having problems with the FFVII savegames becoming corrupted. I had to start over from halfway through the first disc not long ago because both of the savegames that I had been alternating between had become corrupted. (I now rotate between three savegames and have been saving at every opportunity). The GT savegames have not been corrupting, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this game could be causing the problem, as the FFVII games have always come up corrupt after switching between FFVII and GT.

Is the memory card past its prime? Should I not be trying to save both games to the same card? Is there a special arcane power-off procedure like there was when powering off the NES and SNES? Any other suggestions or additional info needed?

All cables are plugged in, blu-ray film playback is fine, but on games the screen completely freezes, although game music will continue to play.

texts: What exactly do the yo-yo accessories do?

texts:
Terraria 1.3 added yo-yos to the game (and they're pretty cool!). I'm a little confused as to how the corresponding accessories work, however. Specifically:

What exactly do counterweights do? Do they alter the time the yo-yo stays active once thrown? What's the benefit of equipping one?
There's an accessory allowing you to throw two yo-yos at once (I believe it's the yo-yo glove). How does this actually work? Do I need two physical yo-yos equipped in my hot bar? Or does this accessory allow me to throw a second instance of the same yo-yo I have equipped?


texts: What is the purpose of the cursed art gallery?

texts:
Spoilers!! Be warned

I've ended the game Ib and got all the endings, but seems that the game doesn't clarify some things within the story. The main question that I had was, what is the purpose of Guerterna's cursed art gallery? And, why was Ib called to come to this place?

I thought it could be Mary's doing, as like her diary said, she wanted to go outside and had a real life, but needed to take the place of another person. But, in A Painting's Demise ending, we learnt that even Mary isn't allowed to leave. So, I'm out of options.

If someone could clarify, I'll be grateful

P.S. Also, why Ib was called a "thief" when she got her first key? As I read in vgperson's translation notes, the original word was "kaese" (give it back), but still it doesn't make much sense to me. Is it supposed to say to Ib to return the key? Or the rose? Or what would be?


texts: How to run Rogue Legacy for Linux on a specific monitor?

texts:
I've got a right tack monitor layout, and the vertical monitor is the main one. This makes for rather odd graphics settings in Rogue Legacy:

Only vertical resolutions are displayed, up to 1200x1920.
Even at full resolution there are large black gaps at the top and bottom of the screen.
Fullscreen mode always goes to the vertical monitor.

Is there some way to force Rogue Legacy to display on the horizontal monitor, and to use the resolutions available for that screen?

I had a look in ~/.config/RogueLegacyStorageContainer/GameConfig.ini. I can set the resolution to 1920x1200, which works sort of OK in windowed mode, but there's no mention of which monitor to use.

texts:
Every set of armor you can forge in MH3U has a "Defense" stat. Arzuros armor sports a higher defense than Jaggi Armor, and Barroth Mail sports a defense higher than both.

However, all armor can be upgraded, which increases its "Defense" value. One of the NPCs in Moga Village even mentions off-handedly, "If you like the look of a particular armor, why not upgrade it and keep it around?"

So a couple of related questions: How many times can I "Level" a particular piece of armor? Is there a cap on defense? If I find a particular combination of stats / appearance I like (say... Ludroth armor), will it always be a decent option, or will higher level armors (within the same Rank, anyway) eventually totally eclipse it?


texts: How can I stop without destroying the minecart nor using redstone?

texts:
Searching in google, found many ways to stop a minecart, but none of them fulfill both of these requirements:

Doesn't destroys the minecart (Using a cactus does so)
Doesn't use redstone (In Minecraft PE creative mode, cannot find it)
Slowing down quickly, without using lots of land (Making S shape non-powered track doesn't even stop it!)
Doesn't reverse when unsuccessful (Building a staircase going up is unsuccessful)

Therefore, any methods that can fulfill all these requirements?

** I have searched for a method like this:

_ _   _ _
   \ /

Every sign is a non-powered track. Although it said that it will slower the minecart, it doesn't. I wonder improving this method can fulfill all requirements.

texts: Are off-screen NPC needs in The Sims 4 generated in real time or are the changes randomized?

texts:
How do Needs variations in The Sims 4 apply to off-screen NPCs (e.g. non-family Sims that the player does not actively control)? Are the changes determined in real time based on the environment the NPCs find themselves in and the objects they can interact with, or does it stop tracking them through the game world and adjust values "behind the scenes" to create the illusion of activity?

It seems like the former would be expensive on computing time, but I can't find any conclusive evidence for either option online. My initial guess was a variation of the job Rabbit Hole applying to off-screen Sims, but it'd be interesting to know how this is handled from a technical perspective.

texts:
To celebrate the release of Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, Gearbox put out a series of special SHiFT codes which grant special class mods to the player.
Since class mods gained by SHiFT codes are tied to the level of the first character loaded after redeeming the code, I've been a bit apprehensive about when or if I want to claim the codes. It would really help me out if I could know exactly what the class mods do, and what the range of their bonuses are. Unfortunately, I've had a hard time finding even so much as their names in online searches.
Does anyone have a list of the names of these mods? Ideally, I'd also like to know their minimum and maximum stats. But the names alone should be enough to help search for the stats.

In the weapon fusion menu, some combinations of items contain an "X" in their location box, and both their name and display image are just quesiton marks (??? and ? respectively). I'm unable to combine these items, but my instincts tell me that there is something more to this.

Is there some restriction that prevents me from combining certain items until later in the campaign (and if so, what is it, and how do I remove it)? Or are some items just not able to be fused?


texts: Why does Clairvoyance always point me in the wrong direction?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  Details on Clairvoyance?

When I cast Clairvoyance to guide me to my next task or marker, it sometimes will point me in the opposite direction, or I follow the path, then the path suddenly will change and tell me to go back the way I came.

Right now, the marker is stuck on telling me to go to Nirya in the College, but speaking to her doesn't do anything.

I'm currently on the Hitting the Books side quest, if that helps.


texts: How to view Borderlands FPS without third party software

texts: I would like to see what my framerate is for Borderlands 2 (steam). However, the only way to do this that I can find on Google, is to install 3rd-party-software (fraps, EVGA monitor...). Right now, I am running Ubuntu, which is incompatible with all of these. Is there any way to see the framerate without installing anything?


texts: How can I delete LittleBigPlanet without losing my save data?

texts:
I downloaded LittleBigPlanet almost a year ago when it was free and recently, I got the Game of the Year edition. I was hoping to just delete the game from my system and just use the Game of the Year edition from now on, but I noticed that the save data wasn't in the Save Data Utility. I believe that all of the save data is in the game itself on the console and if I delete it, I will lose all of that save data.

Is there a way to get the save data from the downloaded game into the Save Data Utility so that way I can delete the game and still have the save data? If not, then will I have to live with the dowloaded version forever for the sake of keeping the saved game?


texts: Is there a way to reset my battle points?

texts:
This may seem like an odd question, but after almost 300 hours of playing, I still suck horribly and find myself getting matched up with/against people who are way above my head. Both sides will complain of my noobness and say I should delete DOTA, sometimes even going so far as to abandon the match because they apparently find it hopeless to play with me. Needless to say this is frustrating and demotivating.

I would just like to start from scratch again at level 1 so that I can get matched up with/against similarly skilled people.

texts: Does the Cloak of the Obsidian Order have any use?

texts:
I'm a Kickstarter Backer, so when I start a new character, in addition to my wonderful space pig and ring, I start with a cape! Specifically, the Cloak of the Obsidian Order. Which has some lovely flavor text saying nice things about the sort of people that backed the game, but, when equipped, doesn't seem to do anything. There's not even a cosmetic appearance!

Is there any reason to keep this around, or can I just sell it for some extra starting cash?


texts: Windows can't connect to Linux Minecraft LAN

texts:
I have read a lot of stuff on here & elsewhere, but still not getting any joy.

I am running Linux Mint 17. The rest of my family are on Windows 7.  I can join their LAN worlds, but they can't connect to mine.

I have tried editing the hosts file as in Can't set up a local LAN server on Minecraft 12w25a? et al, but that hasn't helped.
My hosts file now looks like this:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MYPC
127.0.0.1   localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     MYPC localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

(My IP address & pc name are definitely correct in the real world)

I have run UFW commands to open port 25565 thus: (https://computerobz.wordpress.com/2014/06/13/how-to-minecraft-server-on-ubuntu/)

sudo ufw allow 22

Once that rule has been added then we can enable the firewall:

sudo ufw enable

Now we need to enable the other ports we are going to be using. Minecraft runs on a default port of 25565. Run the following command to add the port.

sudo ufw allow 25565

Check the Firewall status to make sure all is setup right:

sudo ufw status

25565 is set to "allow"

The server & port shows up on the Windows PC, just times out.

Any ideas where I go from here please?


texts: Using 4K Skyrim Textures when running 1920 x 1080 display resolution?

texts:
I am looking at installing this 4K Texture pack for Skyrim Special Edition:

4K Parallax Skyrim by Pfuscher
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49661?tab=files

But since my display has a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 will those textures even be loaded/work?

Not knowing how this works but will the game engine only load textures that fits the current resolution or will it actually try and load the 4K version installed even though they are overkill?

texts: What are the AIM values for aliens and EXALT agents?

texts:
I can see all of my units AIM values, both before the mission and during the mission with any modifiers for height advantage etc.

What are the corresponding values for the aliens? Is it different for different types of aliens - are Floaters better shots than Thin Men? What about the EXALT agents? Logically it would seem that their snipers would get the same bonuses as XCOM units.

I believe the values may be different between difficulty levels also.


texts:
While exploring one system, I happened to notice there was an interesting arrangement of bright objects off in the distance. They were too far off to be in-system, but they were bright enough that I imagined they had to be nearby.

Unfortunately, I never could quite nail down exactly what I was looking at - let alone how I might be able to get closer to it. Correlating the first-person POV to the Galaxy Map's perspective, especially when looking for anything smaller than a nebula, seems to be nigh-impossible. Even if I can get myself properly aligned, there's so many other things that might be between myself and my target - with all being displayed at disproportionate size/intensity in the map - that there's very little chance I'll be able to properly identify what I've seen.

I even noticed the same arrangement of objects while in several other systems along my journey that night. Still, nothing really helped to narrow down what it was. Though my route appeared at times to be taking me in the general direction of this "constellation", I never really felt like I was getting significantly closer.

Is there any particular method that can be used to identify far-off stars or other objects beyond the local system, which are seen from the cockpit? Is there perhaps a mod available that allows me to point to something from the cockpit view and say "What's that?" or "Show that to me in the Galaxy Map."?

Note: One thing that I know could help is the Navigation panel. You can select neighboring systems from that menu, and see if what you're looking at happens to be one of them. However, I am looking for something that will also work for systems that are further away - like more than 100 Ly.

texts: Is there a way to morph all larvae at once?

texts:
My macro is pretty poor, and while playing the HotS campaign, I often find myself in cases where my larvae are simply idling. When I've built multiple hatcheries, with the campaign-specific 6-larvae cap, I often find myself with bunches of 12+ larvae.

Trying to turn these larvae into combat-ready units is irritating, as I need to press the appropriate button once per larvae. I know that in Starcraft the First, selected Larvae all morphed at once, resource permitting.

Is there a similar method to morph groups of larvae in Starcraft 2?

texts: How do persistent items work in Battlefield 4?

texts:
Players in Battlefield 4 can drop a variety of persistent items: mines, medic bags, ammo boxes, recon spawn points, etc. How long do those items persist in the world? Do they last beyond player death?

From casual observation it seems items persist as last as long as the item isn't destroyed by weapon damage and as long as the player doesn't change loadout. Ie: I can drop an engineer AT mine, get killed, and the mine will still be in the world as long as I keep spawning as an engineer with AT mines. (This behavior is the only way a Recon respawn beacon could be useful!) But I'm not confident it works that way consistently with all persistent items, particularly medic bags, the recon T-UGS, etc.

texts: How do I create a blast-proof exp grinder in Minecraft?

texts:
How does one make an efficient kill room in Minecraft, that can survive creeper explosions?

So, I contained the spawner; I can probably augment it with some spawn rooms that will transport the mobs to the shafts dropping them the needed 22 blocks down to what is to be the room where I kill them. Then I'll have a creeper blow up and set all consecutive survivors free.

I know the walls must be built from obsidian, but how do I make the gap in it to swing my sword through? The text tutorials are rather sketchy, and the video tutorials use either fenceposts (which are definitely not blast proof) or some kind of transparent grid which I failed to identify (a different tileset, maybe?).

So where is that butler going?

I don't really follow traffic laws, because it would take too long to get to where I am going, so I regularly speed, run red lights/stop signs, lane split (in a car), drive on the wrong side of the street, and otherwise drive somewhat recklessly, but even when I am driving "normally" people still get scared of me. Can I prevent people from freaking out when I drive, or do they always cower in fear due to me being a vigilante or something?

texts: How can I fix characters not sitting on chairs properly?

texts:
When sitting on chairs, is annoying see your char floating on air near it.

But with the Corvega mod it is difficult to play. I am forced to open console and type TCL to be able to push the light buttons of the car or access the gloves container.

What can be causing that bug?

PS.: This has been happening long time ago before using that mod. Just that I never really care about it, til now...

How it happens: after I click to sit on chair, my char looks like he is sat, but the chair is not below him... he always "sit" in the air near the chair, sometimes to the left, other times in front of it, but never above the chair. "To sit" is actually an animation, but the animation happens in the wrong place, so the camera (on the head of the char) is positioned wrongly too.


texts: How much damage does each bounce do with the Mutalisk's Vicious Glave upgrade?

texts:
The upgrade description states:

  Mutalisk attacks bounce three more times up to six targets. These bounces deal increased damage and travel farther.

So how much damage does each bounce do?  Without the upgrade, each bounce was 1/3 the damage of the previous bounce.  This resulted in the last bounce dealing 1 damage.

Am I correct to assume that each bounce is 2/3 the damage of the previous bounce?

Note: This only applies to the campaign play through of the game and does not apply to multiplayer.

texts:
When you are standing under an enemy turret, but are not its target (say you are with a creep wave), damaging an enemy will make the turret target you. Does this have a range?

For example, if you are a champion like Teemo or Caitlyn that can place shrooms/traps that damage enemies, and an enemy walks into a trap in a different lane, will this cause the turret to attack you?

Is this possibly any different for more active long distance attacks (like Ashe or Ezreal's ulti)?

But when you encounter a special weapon, you don't know if it actually has anything special to it.

texts:
So, I'm trying to take a deck of cards, split it into piles, and then shuffle one each of another stack of cards into the piles. The split() function is perfect, as I want the piles to end up 90* to each other anyway. So the script works like this so far:

Get the two decks from the zones they're sitting in (deck and discard zones)
Count the cards in the "discard" deck
Split the main deck by that count
Move one each of the "discard" cards into each pile
Shuffle the piles

So far so good. The game itself expects the "small" plies to be on the bottom. This, with the split() function, is behaving a bit weird though - the counts are a little bizarre. In my test setup (and how the game will start), I have 48 cards in the main deck, with 5 cards to split in from the "discard" deck. This results in splitting the main deck into 5 piles, of 10,10,10,9,9.
I get piles that size, but if I use a for loop to get which index of the resulting table has which counts, I get the following - indexes 1, 2, and 5 have 10 cards, while 3 and 4 have 9.
Even more maddeningly, after a fair amount of testing, I find that Index 1 is the second pile from the bottom, while Index 5 is the bottom pile! The piles count UP from the second from the bottom, and wrap around from the top (which is index 4) back to the bottom!
Complicate matters with the fact that the number of cards in either deck could vary during the game (more "deck" cards to split, or more "discard" cards to force more piles to be made), so I'd like to TRY to avoid some sort of hacky solution.
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Any suggestions about how to get things the way I want them? Pastebin with the code: https://pastebin.com/Q7V0y1ET

The last time I played Minecraft (beta 1.7?) I had a large hall right above the bedrock layer which was illuminated by quite a lot torches. Having updated recently to release 1.0 down there the viewing distance is about 15 metres now. Standing in middle of the hall you cannot see any of its walls. As I play on my own server, I guess there is an operator command to disable that effect.

So, how can I disable that shortening of the viewing distance at the bedrock layer?


texts: I have been playing Clash of Clans on my iPhone 5. I have town hall 10. Now I have gotten a new Galaxy 5. I am trying to get my old village onto my new phone but it isn't work. When I first launched Clash of Clans on the new phone, it automatically did load a new village town hall 1. I can still launch the old village on my old phone. Is there any way to get my old village to my new phone?

texts:
How come we're in a war and our top guy is around level 86 or 87 and their top two guys are over level 100?

Their walls are way stronger and they have air defenses. When searching for an opponent does it eventually just give up and put you up against the closest opponent even if they're not close in comparison?

texts:
Think in a room where we teleport two member enemies between them, at the same time. Which race will win?

Mantis has more damage, but Rockmen have more life. Lanius will remove the oxygen of the room before they die in a fight, suffocating enemies, but Crystal members have suffocation resistance.

Zoltan, Engi, Slug and humans will always lose, I think. But between each pair of the rest what would be the result? Maybe when skills are maxed there is different results?

So which is the best race to fight against what?

texts: Why is my unit not able to pick up power in Blitz?

texts:
In Blitz, you play unit cards to spawn units, which requires power.  To get more power, you can collect it by destroying caches of it around the map and picking it up.

I spawned a unit (in this case, a Jackrabbit) next to one of these caches where it then aided in destroying it (I had a Scorpion tank farther away also damaging the cache).  But it wasn't able to pick up the power with my Jackrabbit for some time.  Why?


texts: Unbalaced Brackets!? Custom Name + Welcome Message

texts:
I'm running a vanilla factions server, and I'm running a command through the console because I need to use the § symbol for color-coding.

I tried running this command, but I couldn't figure out how to fix the problem.
Here is the error I'm getting:

data tag parsing failed: Unbalanced brackets: {display:{Name:"§3§kO§r§5§lSuperman§3§kO"}, {BlockEntityTag:{Command:"execute @a[score_quit_min=1] ~ ~ ~ say §5§lEnjoy §4§lyou're §6§lstay, §2§lplayer!"}}

I'm trying to make a welcome message to the players when they join.


texts:
So, suppose that you're starting your favorite server with a couple of friends/strangers/mortal enemies (Basically, the number of people on the server is 4 on 4 or less). Anyway, you've been doing well K/D-wise, maybe even picking up a domination or two when all of a sudden some of your opponents get frustrated and turn to the dark side.

They go heavy-medic.

Now what? The main counters to such an atrocity are sniper/spy, and both are much less effective when there's only a handful of players on the server (because there's less distractions, enabling the enemies to focus on disrupting the support classes).

Since almost nothing will beat that kind of firepower at close range, your only hope is to use hit and run tactics, and try to take out the medic. However, considering that the medic will try to hide behind his 450 health buddy, has his own healing factor, and will likely flee to a health pack given enough time, you'll likely have to try and take him out in one shot. Which will usually leave you shredded by the heavy. And even if you do get close to managing it, the medic uses an uber, and you're foiled anyway.

Is there an effective way to dismantle this combo without sinking to their level and using your own cheap tactics? (ie: Your own heavy medic combo, stickybomb trapping a doorframe, etc.)

/tellraw @a [{"selector":"@p","bold":true,"italic":true,"color":"dark_purple"},{"text":" HAS WON THE GAME!"}]

The output:

My question is can you make the output in full caps?:
