texts:
So I've recently started up a CraftBukkit server in Minecraft and an issue that has recently occurred, is that mobs, passive, neutral and hostile, are now all invisible. I know for a fact that they are spawning because I summoned a Cow just to see if they simply were not spawning. What I found out was that when I executed /summon Cow, nothing spawned, or so I thought, after a few seconds I heard it "moo". I was baffled at first so I naturally looked around to see if there were cows in the vicinity, but nothing. I tried again but only with a spawn egg and I had the same results. So I then restart my server and tried again and STILL got the same results as before. I did some research and came to the conclusion that it could be the actual CraftBukkit download itself, but I'm skeptical, only because this has never happened before with the same CraftBukkit build.

From what I've gathered, the likely result could be that the problem is within my "worlds" folder because I've had to replace that folder before due to terrain generating issues. The mobs have always been able to be visible before in the previous folders as well. I also have check my server.properties file just to make sure that my spawn-animals and spawn-mobs are both set to true and still have no visible mobs, only sounds.

In Daytona USA it's possible to enter the pits and change tyres. It seems to be pointless, the game doesn't model tyre degradation or anything more than cosmetic damage to the car. All it seems to do is waste time.
Why is it even in the game? Does it serve some purpose?

texts: Grim Dawn: Skeletons causing meteor shower

texts:
I am playing Grim Dawn with all the DLC except Loyalist items packs.
My character is a Shaman Necromancer (level 32) and I have no item granting meteor shower skill and no active constellation with that skill.

I noticed that when I summon my skeletons (Necro skill level 12) for a while they can use the meteor shower skill (after a while sometimes they stop doing it). I am sure of that because if I do not summon the skeletons I do not see the meteors.
It started when my skeletons appeared "equipped" with armor, when they were lower level they appeared "naked" and the meteors did not happen.

In the skeleton skills popup I do not see any reference to that skill, just the usual damages and other stats.

I do not understand if it is a bug or I am missing something in the skill system.


texts: How to fix an inventory dragging glitch?

texts:
I am playing some Sky Factory 3 with a friend on my server, when all of a sudden I can't drag any item, or Shift+Click any item in my inventory, or out of it. I'm not lagging at all, because I can interact with blocks and stuff, but not items. Sometimes going into a singleplayer world and opening my inventory several times fixes it, but sometimes it doesn't, and I would have to restart my game. This normally takes a long time and is a real hassle, since Sky Factory 3 has tons of mods. It's happened on multiple occasions, and I would like to know a way to fix this permanently.
Thanks!

texts: What's the longest a champion can continuously be invulnerable for?

texts:
Not to be confused with this question, I'm not asking about stasis and I'm interested in continuous application, not a simply chained one.

For how long can a champion be continuously immune to any damage directed at them (doesn't matter if they can or cannot be targeted)?

A valid sample combination:

Kayle's ultimate
Zhonya's Hourglass just before the former wears off

A sample invalid combination:

Zhonya's Hourglass
Kayle's ultimate

The latter is invalid because there is a small pocket of time during which the champion might theoretically take damage, since Kayle can't cast the ultimate on the champion under Zhonya's while it's active.

What's the longest such valid combination (in seconds, not by number of spells)?

texts: How can I play borderlands without the CD

texts:
I have borderlands via steam, and require no CD. My friend bought the game from the store, and therefore needs the CD to run the game. He's currently sitting in my living room, as we planned to LAN the game this evening, and he is upset because he forgot the CD at his house. Since obviously it can be run without a CD (or else my steam version would not work) is there some way to change his copy of the game to do so?

Note: I'm attempting to avoid the classic CD CRACK solution as it's illegal and a PITA, not to mention viruses and what-not.

texts: What's the most efficient way of combining books and tools to reduce experience cost?

texts:
In Java Edition Minecraft, you can use an anvil to combine an enchanted book with a tool, granting it that enchantment. However, if you want to apply a second book, the cost will increase, and so on with more books. To reduce the effect of this cost increase, you can combine books with other books for a smaller experience cost, and when applied to the tool, it will only cost the amount that one book would.
The question is, then, what's the most efficient way of combining books with tools to minimize experience cost?

texts:
I am currently running the Crash Landing Modpack in the FTB Launcher (Mod list here, Minecraft version is 1.6.4). Out of curiosity I am trying to find the fastest way to move items from one location into a Deep Storage Unit. My current solution is to use 4 Transfer Nodes (from Extra Utilites) with one stack of "stacks upgrade" and 3 stacks of "Speed upgrades", which is working nicely (a few ten thousand items per second).

However, is there a faster way to transfer items (using any of the mods listed above)? The items must be starting from a JABBA barrel with infinite item upgrade (or another source if you are aware of any infinite storage), and enter a Deep Storage Unit.


texts: How can I beat the rock spiders on level 4 of Battle Quest?

texts: On the Legend of Zelda Battle Quest attraction in Nitendo Land I'm having some trouble getting past the big rock spiders like in level four. They dodge my charge shots, and they only seem to take damage from the head, so taking them out before they reach you is very tricky. Is there any better way to take them out aside from spamming arrows and hoping you hit their head? I've noticed a lot of the Miiverse messages on the level note having trouble with the spiders, but not how to beat them.


texts:
In Heavy Bullets, you play as the rescuer of your company's (virtual?) abandoned hunting ground.  You have a (unchangeable) clip size of 6 bullets, where your bullets are made of indestructible material, and you must pickup your own shots for ammo.

 The Reloader (item)

The "Reloader" is an item that can be found in keycard-locked rooms.  It consumes ammo from your reserves first, before going through your clip.

Example: If you have a full 6-shot clip, and 4 additional bullets, you can fire 4 shots before it starts using your 6-shot clip.

Reload+ (upgrade)

The Reload+ upgrade allows you reload 1 more bullet per reload, up to a maximum of a full clip (6).

Which are the advantages of each?  Is there a strategy to using them? (e.g. upgrade reload+ to 3, but then use the reloader instead) The reload+ upgrade can be quite costly if not purchased early (upgrading to a 6-shot-reload costs ~500 credits on the first level, if even possible).  The Reloader takes up an inventory slot which can be used for something more useful like ores, and potions.

texts: How can I hookup 24 Xbox One controllers on my PC? What is the limit?

texts:
Once a month, I host a LAN where we play various titles, but our 2 hour "warmup" with snacks and social interaction is spent on a desktop playing >= 8 player games.  I've had great luck with Regular Human Basketball and Splody, and then also countless 4 player games.  I own two Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 (new version supporting 8), and was hoping to have both hooked up for 16 controllers.  However, only one works at a time. Even with 1, many of these games that have "8 player local multiplayer shared screen" don't register past 4 controllers.

I've been trying to read on DirectInput vs XInput, so I guess I'm looking to confirm that XInput has a cap of 8, DirectInput is (sort of) unlimited, but if the game developer doesn't implement DirectInput, then you're out of luck?  Is there anything I, as the user, can do to ensure I have all the controllers properly synced whether it's wired via USB, wireless via dongle, wireless via Bluetooth, etc.?

I have built a mob grinder in Minecraft, 200 blocks into the air. Obviously, in a Survival World, getting up and down the can be difficult, and ugly.

I have attempted to use the "two portals - one teleport" idea; that is, build two Nether Portals in the same chunk, and you can use them to travel between two point is the Overworld. However, I cannot get this to work - I have had mixed results.

I have tried building the two portals 150 blocks away from each other (one at y=50, the other at y=200), light one, and enter the nether, to establish the link, then light the other one. This has given me mixed results. Either:

A third Nether Portal spawns in a separate location (as if the first portal was broken)
I only reappear out of the first Nether Portal, regardless of where I enter.

Is there a way to use two Nether Portals as a form of "Elevator"?


texts: How can I share Civ 5 DLCs with different user accounts on the same PC?

texts:
On one computer I have 3 different users of Steam:

The first user bought Civilization 5 some time ago (basic no DLC),
The second user bought Civ 5 and all DLCs.

I've also selected the option to 'share games with other accounts on the computer' (where I checked the first user too).

It is possible to access the games of the 2nd user by the 1st user, but Civ5 can't access the DLCs. It is not a simultaneous login (i.e. it is either user 1 or user 2 that is logged in, not both at the same time). I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and changing various settings, but can't seem to make it work.

Is what I want to do possible? Can I share DLCs for various games between accounts?

texts: Why won't the "Migrate from" option appear on my Heart Gold game?

texts:
Here are the steps I've made:

Pokemon Heart Gold is completed, all 16 badges, have the National dex, reached Pal Park in Fuschia city, and had the guy explaining to me how to use it.
Pokemon Emerald is also completed, the Elite 4 is beaten, National dex is obtained, and battle frontier is unlocked.
I insert both into my DS Lite, the opening screen shows both.
I enter HG and in the start menu, the Migrate From option won't appear. I've scrolled down.

Heart Gold is EU and Emerald is US, I've read that it shouldn't matter as long as they are both the same language (for example, here and here).

I can play Emerald just fine on the DS, as well as HG. Other games of the 3rd generation give the same symptoms (although, I haven't completed those).

What might cause this phenomenon? What have I missed?

The Quen sign is extremely useful to protect yourself against enemy attacks. The base version also doesn't last long, but if you upgrade Quen itself or increase your sign intensity Quen can last for a pretty long while. The disadvantage being that you don't regenerate vigor while Quen is active.

After battle, you don't want to enter the next one with an almost depleted Quen and an empty vigor bar, caused by the still active Quen which prevented vigor regeneration. It would be quite convenient to just disable Quen after battle. Is there any quick way to do that?

EDIT. A bit of update, that stupid non-dynastic heir somehow inherited a petty kingdom nearby, meaning he was not of my court anymore, there was nothing I could do. I could not ask him to take the vows (since he's not my courtier), couldn't imprison him though I was willing to suffer the opinion penalty. I tried to fabricate claim and declare war with hope to capture him as POW but wasn't a success. He took over the kingdom after my passing, leaving my dynasty to oblivion shame and putting an end to yet another noble house that couldn't survive the feudal hardship.


texts: Extreme lag between controller input and seeing results on screen with the RetroN5?

texts:
When trying to play a game on my RetroN5 (which is hooked up to an Insignia HDTV (that doesn't have "Game Mode") I have extreme latency between pushing a button on the controller and seeing the results on-screen.

Everything I have read suggests that the TV just isn't handling the video rendering and that I need to turn on "game mode".  However, the TV doesn't have game mode, and I have zero issue with responsiveness when playing Xbox-360, PS2, or using the TV as a monitor for a laptop.  It only occurs with the RetroN5.

This is acceptable for turn based games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, etc.  but when you try to play anything that requires even a shred of timing, the game is virtually unplayable.

What's the best way to use it? Should I aim at maxing the pokemon with the highest CP potential? Or are there other ways to efficiently use stardust.

I have about 110k stardust at the moment.

Is there a way to cancel a Steam cloud sync upload and start a game before it finishes syncing? I don't want to permanently disable cloud sync.

Situation:

Play a Steam game.

Problem:

Steam cloud sync is still uploading my save file.

Disabling cloud sync for the game. This didn't seem to stop an in-progress upload.
Exiting Steam. There's a message displayed about the cloud sync, but the "exit anyway" button is disabled.

I've read guides on this, and they say you need at least 10 works without counting the main street/town hall/station. Here is the list of the public works I have in my town:

3 Street Lights
1 Yellow Bench
1 Camping Site
1 Water Well
Original Bridge + 2 more Bridges
1 Water Fountain
1 Park Clock
1 Fence
1 Fire Hydrant
1 Caution Sign

texts: Why does my temple only give one content citizen instead of two?

texts:
I have a size 4 city on Diety level. I'm early in my empire (obviously, my capital is only size 4) so I do not have very many cities. A city this size at this stage should have one content citizen, and the rest unhappy. If I look at my 'happy tab', I confirm this is the default state.

However, it shows that my temple makes one of them content, and my warrior makes another content via martial law (I'm a Monarchy). This leaves me with one unhappy citizen, which without any happy citizens puts my capital into civil disorder!. Yikes!

Upon reading the text of a temple, it states it makes "Up to two unhappy citizens content". I've never run into this before where it had leftover unhappy citizens without using both of its "up to two". Why is this happening?

How do I specifically join my friend's game in Crackdown 2? I fire it up and it tells me that I have a friend online hosting a game but if I click 'join' on the main menu it shows 'searching for best game' and then I'm playing with strangers.

The left bumper opens up the xbox overlay friends menu and there's no option to join his game there - only 'invite to party' which I guess does something else? His game might already be full I suppose but I can't tell.

Do I have to message him and get him to invite me? Seems odd there'd be a different workflow for friends games.

Thanks. This is probably a stupid question but I've never played online with XBox live much!


texts: Convert PS1 saves on PC to PS3/PSP save format

texts:
I've been hunting for some PS1 game saves as my PS1 memory cards died. GameFAQs has many more saves listed for the Original PS1 save format rather than the PSV format. The PS3/PSP require PSV format to work, and I don't even know what to do with the gme files GameFAQs lists for PS1.

I know I can use the Sony Memory Card adapter for physical memory cards (and I own one) but that doesn't help me here unless I can somehow copy .gme files with the adapter from my PC, then to the PS3. If I can do that, that solves the problem as well, but I don't know how/if I can do that.

texts: How can I enable Civ 5 Mods button on Mac OS X Mountain Lion?

texts:
EDIT: Figured it out. Looks like in the other thread, the updated G&K directions were incorrect (at least for me). I simply followed the original directions and found the Controls.ModsButton:SetHide(true) and fixed it, per original instructions. Sorry for the duplicate! Thanks for all the help!

I looked at this link first: How can I enable Civ 5 mods on Mac OS X?

But I got stuck where it says Front End/Mainmenu.lua. Mine is a .xml file (not sure if that matters). Anyway, I opened it up using Text Editor on Mac, but couldn't find the "Controls.ModsButton:SetHide( true );" to change it. So now I am stuck. This is what it says instead:

  <GridButton Anchor="C,T" ID="ModsButton"          Size="320,45"    Style="ZoomButton" String="TXT_KEY_MODS" >

If you want the whole text, I can post it. But nothing that I saw suggested a "hide mods button" so I'm not sure what to do next. I have Gods & Kings as well. Help!

texts: Can a silk touch pickaxe be used in a quarry?

texts:
Silk Touch isn't exactly a rare enchantment, but it's far between enough that I'd rather not waste a silk pick in an experiment; I'm hoping someone else has tried this (with success).

The main crafting ingredient in a BuildCraft quarry is an undamaged diamond pickaxe. I was able to use one that had the Silk Touch enchantment. Now, before I go committing to unleashing this on a 64x64 area, will the quarry give me ores instead of ingots? To be clear, I was able to craft it using the enchanted pick.

I can deconstruct the quarry if this isn't going to work using a deconstruction table; I would be awful sore if I ended up losing a brand new silk touch pick for nothing :)

texts: Ids of celestial bodies in the persistent.sfs file

texts:
I'm currently making a tourist planner for KSP which reads in the persistent.sfs which tourist want to do what on which planet . Here's a preview.

The problem is that although science has the whole body name, tourist contracts use a targetBody to tell which planet

For example here is a tourist contract in the savefile

PARAM
            {
                name = KerbalTourParameter
                state = Incomplete

                allowPartialFailure = True
                values = 219375,0,0,0,0
                kerbalName = Ludves Kerman
                kerbalGender = Male
                PARAM
                {
                    name = KerbalDestinationParameter
                    state = Incomplete
                    values = 24375,0,0,0,0
                    targetBody = 5
                    targetType = Orbit
                    kerbalName = Ludves Kerman
                }
                PARAM
                {
                    name = KerbalDestinationParameter
                    state = Incomplete
                    values = 24375,0,0,0,0
                    targetBody = 0
                    targetType = Orbit
                    kerbalName = Ludves Kerman
                }
                PARAM
                {
                    name = KerbalDestinationParameter
                    state = Incomplete
                    values = 24375,0,0,0,0
                    targetBody = 2
                    targetType = Flyby
                    kerbalName = Ludves Kerman
                }
            }

(as you can see on my screenshot, Ludves wants to Orbit the Sun (0), Orbit Eve (5) and flyby the Mun (2))

And here is a science found

Science
    {
        id = mysteryGoo@KerbinSrfLandedLaunchPad
        title = Observation de la glairine™ mystérieuse d’Aire de lancement
        dsc = 1
        scv = 0.0122894989
        sbv = 0.300000012
        sci = 3.85207105
        cap = 3.9000001
    }

Do you know where I can find the IDs of all bodies in KSP instead of just doing every single mission?
Are they the same between each save game?

For the moment I have found :

Sun : 0
Kerbin : 1
Mun : 2
Minmus : 3
Duna : 6 (you see the number begin to become unsorted...)
Ike : 7
Eve : 5

texts: Can I get Civilization V to show me a clock so that I don't stay up playing until 4 AM?

texts:
One of the most important features in Civilization IV was the clock. It allowed you to both see how long you've been playing and also set an alarm. From the manual:

CLOCK SCREEN
The Clock Options Screen lets you turn on and off a clock to time how long you’ve been playing, as well as set an alarm to let you know when you should stop playing and go to work. Or eat.

After playing Civilization V until past 4 AM (one more turn, I swear!), I've realized that I desperately need this feature.
Is there a way to turn on a clock, preferably one with an alarm but just a display of the time, in this game? I couldn't find it in the settings.
Sure, I could use my phone, but I'd like something more visible while I play. And since I charge it only when I sleep (rather than playing Civ), there's a fair chance that it's going to be dead long before 4 AM!

On the Pokemon status screen, underneath the Pokemon and to the left of the custom markings, is a small blue pentagon:

This doesn't seem to be present on Pokemon obtained through the Pokemon Transporter from Gen V:

I've looked into it myself, and popular opinion seems to be that it's either some kind of "Legitimate Pokemon" mark or simply to indicate that the Pokemon originates from Gen VI.
The latter seems far more likely to me, but do we know for sure what this blue hexagon means?

texts: A particular lever in Myst's Channelwood appears to not be working

texts:
In Channelwood in Myst a particular lever doesn't appear to be working. The explanation for my problem contains a spoiler, so I've hidden the text below:

   There is a lever on the second level in one of the huts. I pressed it and saw something happen across the way next to the spiral staircase. But navigating back to the spiral staircase (still on the 2nd level), nothing appears to change. But consulting hints and walkthroughs, everything says the pressing that lever is supposed to open the door in front of the spiral staircase. I tried going back and pressing it again just in case I accidentally double-pressed the first time or something, but the door never opens.

Am I missing a key step here? Or could this be or is this a known bug?

I'm playing Myst on the iPhone in case that makes any difference. I don't believe it should, since the content of the game should not be any different.


texts: how to make setblock a command block with a command that is executed at a certain player

texts:
I have made a minigame on my server, mctrees.net, using command blocks but it dosen't work with multiplayer so I would like to make it place the commands that run for the game but for it to make it specific to each player.
e.g. I have a command that usually gets run:

/setblock @p[r=10] dirt ~ ~10 ~

and I would like to make it setblock that command in a command block when a player (trebor97351) starts the game. it should setblock a command block with the command:

/setblock trebor97351[r=10] dirt ~ ~10 ~

How would I do this?
I know that you can place command blocks with prefilled commands but you can't specify a player when doing that?

Got multiple armor stands with the name _safezone_, what I want to achieve is to basically have "safe domes" where no players can get in, except for the ones already inside.

/execute @e[name=_safezone_] ~ ~ ~ /tp @a[r=128,rm=150] @e[c=1,name=_spawn_]

And it returns with an error that it coudn't execute the command as the entity _safezone_. Is there a workaround - without spawning commandblocks everywhere? (or am I missing something?)

texts: FlatOut bonus races: what is the best angle to throw the driver?

texts:
FlatOut racing game has a few bonus races that include activities like long jump, high jump, darts, bowling... In such activities, the player must drive the car, then hold and release the nitro button. This will throw the car driver out of the window. While the button is held, the nitro meter (which will work as "angle meter") gets filled. How long the button is held determines the angle of the throw.

The question is: what is the best meter position in order to throw the driver? Is the best angle the one when the meter is 100% filled, or is it when it's half-way?

By "best angle" I mean "the one that will throw the driver as higher and as further as possible", in order to win the long jump and high jump bonus races.

I'm playing on PC, but the game was also available on PlayStation and Xbox.

Further plans involve a gold sarcophagus, gold and silver statues, and maybe some stupid magma tricks.

I'd like to grind my sneak in Skyrim. Exactly how does the game decide when I level up in sneak? What are the precise conditions or logic the game uses in making this determination?

EDIT: I understand that sneaking around and not being noticed will help me level up. I'm looking for exactly what the algorithm the game uses to decide when to give me experience is. For example, how close do I have to be to someone? Do I level up faster if I'm closer? Does being partially noticed help or hurt?

I want to know because right now, leveling up my sneak feels magic. It's always a surprise to me when it happens, and I don't like that. If I could understand why I level up when I do, I think sneaking would be more satisfying.


texts: No slime spawning in slime chunk 2018 1.12.1

texts:
I found a slime chunk right inside my straight mine so I dug out a 16x16x3 chunk at level 19 and coordinates 71 19 -120. I have lit up the room light levels are above 10 everywhere and there are no other mobs spawning inside.

I have been waiting for about an hour afk with the game active at around 32 blocks away (coordinates are 90 11 -125) in order to get some slimes to spawn but still not even one.

Confirmed slime chunk with - http://chunkbase.com/apps/slime-finder#-1729309068124591226
The height level is below 40
Several nights have passed
Player position is around 32 blocks away from the center of the slime chunk (coordinates of center 7 19 7)
Playing on 1.12.1 without any mods
There isn't a huge stack of monsters around the slime chunk (there is a ravine right above it but its lit up)
I searched for questions like this but they were mostly either related to a different problem that I have already solved or from 2+ years ago.

What could be causing this issue?

texts: Minecraft freezing with forge despite having more than enough room

texts:
Alright, I've been trying to run a forge 1.10.2 profile, and it works.  I'm able to get into the game with my 19 mods, but when I'm in it freezes every three seconds or so, and upon viewing the f3 key, I noticed that it keeps on hitting about 56% on the allocated memory reading on the top left then freezing and dropping down to 17 percent or so.
Oh, and before anyone suggests the whole _JAVA_OPTIONS fix, a while back I had that problem with giving it more than 512 mb, regardless of my launch variables.  I ALREADY solved that by removing the _JAVA_OPTIONS entry from environmental variables.
Here's my current launch variable line:

-Xmx2G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xmn1G

Now from what I've read this means that my computer allocates 2 gigabytes of RAM to minecraft.  It won't necessarily use it all if it isnt needed, but minecraft has access to it.  It currently says it's allocating something around 71% of it's given RAM at around 1300 megabytes.  Knowing this, why does my game STILL freeze up?
Possibly pertinent information:
I have 19 mods installed, but several are coremods that add no items, mobs, biomes, or other resource-heavy parts.  All are up to date.
I have nothing like a huge redstone computer, mob farm with thousands of mobs, lag-causing things like buildcraft pipe networks with ProjectE converters or any heavy machinery.  The world that I created to test is blank, freshly genned.
I'm using the default texturepack, albeit with optifine installed, and no shaders.
I have all my video settings on the minimum possible.
I DO have 64 bit java installed.
My forge is up-to-date and stable.
I have no unstable versions of mods.
EDIT: Upon testing this occurs even with the vanilla minecraft, so even if you can help me get that working again I'd be glad (also I hope that means it can stay even though the initial question is about modded AND vanilla).

Also it may not be relevant but even during the freezes my cpu usage never goes above 20 percent with the javaw.exe process associated with Minecraft.

Any help is appreciated.

texts: What provisions to take to particular dungeons (Cove, Ruins, Weald, Warrens, Darkest)?

texts:
I think I got the hang of basic provisioning in sense that I take:

12 food (+6 per dungeon length, so 18 for medium and 24 for long)
8 torches (12/16)
1 shovel (2/3)

Obviously, this is for run where I keep light >75%. Also I modify provisions slightly depending on team comp - like if I have Vestal I tend to need at least 20-30% less food and torches.

But is there a MUST item to bring to certain dungeons? After experimentation and Googling I started bringing Key to Ruins but am stuck trying to figure out exact items for other dungeons. Most of the guides I find online are somewhat outdated and give provisions for pre-release version of the game.

texts: Minecraft modding, besides where it is installed, what are the differences between client and server mods?

texts:
I've been bouncing back and forth between client and server mod tutorials, and I can't seem to work out where one starts and the other ends.

If I create a client mod that adds items and blocks, install it on my PC then join a friends server, if there are no conflicts, will I be able to use my new blocks on his server? Does the server specify which mods are to be used... if so, will I not be able to join if I have my mod installed? If I can join, is my mod disabled while I'm on his server?

Alternatively, If I create the same mod,but for a server, will all of the users need to install the mod to be able to join my server? I would imagine that adding blocks may not require this, but what if I want to add a new UI? That screams client side to me, but what about things like permissions, that are geared towards server mods?

So, my questions are: how are server and client mods different (aside from the fact that one is installed on a client,the other on a server), what are the limitations of each, and how do they interact together, if at all?

So... I'm pretty confused. Halo 5 has monthly ladders that reset, with different rankings for each game mode. I get that. Your ranking is calculated after you play 10 games in a specific playlist for each month, and continually updated after that. That's pretty normal.

My question deals with how exactly these ranks are determined... It seems to be supremely inconsistent. I've had times where I won almost all of my first 10 games while performing well... only to end up in Gold. Other times, I've lost many of my games and done not so great and ended up in Onyx (the best league). Ranking updates after each match seem similarly confusing. What factors go into determining my matchmaking ranking?

I thought I saw something in the key assignments that sounded like it for ctrl-F7 through F10 or something, but when I tried to set them and then use them it looked like they were set to do something else entirely.

In other dialogs (using those "Team Fortress 2's Fat/Comic like Font"), there are no next visible at all. The tooltip works tho. I believe I must be missing something?

The graphics performance is also poor. Laggy and appears very dark

If I can I will take some screenshots


texts: What happens if I get Mama Murphy off chems?

texts: So I managed to get Mama Murphy off chems in a speech check. But seeing as the Sight warns you about alot of things such as when Murphy says "Something is coming, and it is angry" and having it become true as it was a deathclaw that came, I wanted to know if getting her off the sight stops you from knowing anything useful.


texts:
I just noticed the ring Gaun's Pledge in my inventory, I suspect it appeared because the Preorder Bonus DLC was installed.

From the description I gather that it provides protection in some form, but the description of the actual bonus is rather annoyingly useless:

  Gaun's Pledge: Grants Gaun's Pledge

I didn't notice any attributes changing when I equipped the ring. So what does Gaun's Pledge do and exactly what bonus does it provide?

texts: Is there a Relationship between the Final Fantasy games?

texts:
I'm currently replaying Final Fantasy VII and I wondered if there was a relationship between the whole Final Fantasy Franchise before VII. I have never played any Final Fantasy but VII and XIII now. Is there a relation between Final Fantasy I,II,III,IV,V,VI and VII? And between this ones and VIII,IX,X? XI is online, so I won't bother trying it, same as XIV.

I've looked around some website, but they do not seem to mention anything like a relation between them.

Can anyone help me solve my doubt?

Thanks!


texts: Is it possible to reach the huge outcropping overlooking most of central Primordia on foot?

texts:
I've just been exploring instead of doing Chapter 4 (so I won't have a Skell for a while). I was hoping to get all of the FrontierNav locations (in Primordia at least) but it appears that the center one is on top of that outcropping. I believe I have made it to the Fifth? Terrace (might just be the third, it was definitely two above the area with the large turkey like indigens.) But I did not see a way up further that I could reach. Is it possible to actually get all the way up just on foot or is a Skell required and that Nav spot has to wait?

A map would also be nice if it is.


texts: Fallout 3 crashes when updated to version 1.7?

texts:
When I install Fallout 3 and play it as it is, the game is alright, but when patch it to 1.7, I can't play it anymore.
Here is the message box:

fallout3.exe ordinal not found.
The ordinal 5359 could not be located in the dynamic library C:\program files(x86)\bethesda softworks\fallout 3\fallout3.exe

I just want a complete gameplay without crashing in certain areas, maybe with DLC's on my 2nd game. How do I fix this?


texts: Why am I not eligible for the quest The Freightskippers?

texts: I have been questing with my Wife in SWTOR. We are both Republic. She is playing a Smuggler and I am a Trooper. We are both level 14. She is eligible for The Freightskippers from Agent Nurls Yorksin on Coruscant. According to Torhead I, as a Trooper, should be eligible for the quest as well but it isn't letting me accept it (and it cannot be shared). The in game error message just says I am not eligible. I am pretty sure that the only quests that we have done differently are the class quests. Did I miss a prerequisite quest somehow? Torhead doesn't list any. Or is this a bug (and should I submit a ticket)?


texts:
Not being able to finish The Rift quest achievement has been bothering me. Missing it by one quest, I was content chalking this up to being an incorrect count. Well until recently, I came across a group of thugs harassing a noble in Wayrest. After killing the thugs, I was given a quest item that started a chain of quests. I remember this also happening in Bleackrock, in a less similar situation.

Which brings me to my question, are there any less then obvious quests in The Rift. More specifically, what are the locations of quests with no indicators.

What is the different between a character set and a graphic set?
The wiki is confusing.

The wiki says about character sets:
"A character set is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the IBM Code Page 437 (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics."

Then it says about graphic sets:
"Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out.  The confusingly-named....."
Wait, first the wiki said it contains all 256 characters and then it said it doesn't?

Explain the difference to me.

I used a couple of very useful keyboard shortcuts in Civ 5 that don't appear to exist in Civ 6.

C to centre the map on the selected unit is extremely useful if the map is somewhere else for some reason.

W to make a unit wait so you can come back to it before the end of your turn is also very useful.

Are there any alternative shortcuts for these (nothing in Settings)?


texts: How do I make the road grid for new towns fit the existing road grid?

texts:
Under Settings > World generation > Road layout for new towns, it is possible to specify what the road network will look like. The default is 3x3 grids. When starting a new game, all towns on the map will fit perfectly into a grid such that even when cities merge, the road network will still be consistently composed of 3x3 grids everywhere.
However, when a user founds a new town, the road network of the new town is not guaranteed to perfectly fit into the existing 3x3 grid layout.
How can I found new towns while making sure that the road network of the new town fits perfectly into the existing road network?

texts: no such item with ID xxxx open blocks xp drain

texts:
I have a private forge modded server that I use to take some of the load off of my main computer. I was playing along and attempted to craft a open blocks xp drain and even though I could see it in the crafting bench, when i attempted to take the item out, it just vanished. I have already fixed all the item and block id conflicts that I can and have been playing on the server for a while.

I also attempted to give myself the item via both the server console and client side /give and I got the error message in the title. The client and server are using identical config files, and I double checked that the ID was not doubled up via grep.

thanks for any help anyone can give.


texts: Villagers 'willing' but no hearts...what's wrong?

texts:
So I'm trying to get a group of 3 villagers, including one shepherd, to begin breeding while I finish the construction on my new castle. I have had success before using a setup very similar to the one shown. Initially I just grouped the villagers in a rudimentary pen with a few crops. The 'census' villager was placed between 8 doors a little ways away.

After having no success, even after trading and feeding them, I added a door-less structure, more crops, and more room. It's been hours now and even though the villagers have repeatedly been shown to be 'willing' none of them have hearts.

Can anyone tell what I might be doing wrong or what I could do better? Is the census villager too far away? Any help is awesome, would love to get them working soon.


texts:
My smelter "button" currently reads:

  Smelter (0|0)

They appear to cost 200 minerals. The +/- buttons enable themselves when I have >200 minerals. When I hover over the "+" button, a "+all" appears below it. If I click the "+" button, nothing happens, as far as I can tell. (It continues to read "Smelter (0|0)".) The "+all" looked like maybe it needed a kitten, so I free'd up a kitten, but to no avail.

I don't know how to produce iron, and I don't think I've successfully produced iron ever. (This is holding me back from some of the workshop upgrades, such as iron hoes & iron axes.)

I've researched up to Philosophy, Machinery and Steel. (i.e., those techs are not yet researched, but everything before them is.)

How do you build a smelter?

texts:
In Civilization IV (G&K), I order my workers to build a road, then cancel so that they only put in one turn's worth of construction. I order them this way then move on to the next tile before actually completing the road. I do this all along the intended path until each intended tile only has one turn left of construction, then move back along the road, technically finishing in the shortest time possible. I do this because I don't have to pay for road until it's constructed, so this minimizes maintenance cost.

However, two turns before it's done, the game will not tell me accurately how many turns are needed to finish construction. The game does not tell me if there are one or two turns left to complete the road. I must remember whether or not there are one or two turns left to construct something with a worker. I don't do this with just roads either, but anything that takes a number of turns to construct via worker. I believe that this failure of the GUI is a bug. Is there a way to see whether or not there are one or two turns left to construct something?

texts: Why do PS4 controllers turn off on sign out, if the only option is to sign in again?

texts:
'Signing out' from your account on a PS4 brings you to a menu with a list of accounts you can switch to - meaning the only action you can take from there is sign into another account. However, signing out also turns off the PS4 controller.
If you were going to turn off the console, there's that option in the menu to begin with, and it signs out automatically anyways when turning off the system.
So what purpose is there for a Ps4 controller to turn off when signing out?

texts: Is there any advantage in having a rare player in my squad?

texts:
FIFA '13 Ultimate Team provides us some "rare" players, which are identified by bright  cards.

But what makes a player rare? Are they rare because of any specific attribute, such as strength, acceleration, pace, dribbling or whatever, which would add some real value to a player because he is different from the others, or because they are just artificially uncommon, which would surely make them rare but would not add any value to the player?

For example, I could consider a player rare for having an enormous ball control, much greater than the average. But I'm not sure this is how it works in FIFA 13.

I've played against some squads formed completely by rare players and yet I can't see why it would be a good idea.

On the "Builder Base" in Clash of Clans, can hidden traps (mines, push traps, spring traps, etc.) be placed on top of the "stone path" decoration? And, if so, are the stones still visible to attackers?

(I ask the second part because it appears that traps can be placed on top of "tall grass" obstacles without removing the grass first, but when viewing my own base, the grass obstacle is no longer visible when a trap is placed on it.)

Update
It looks like when a trap is placed on top of the "tall grass" obstacle, the obstacle is completely removed from the base when the trap is moved and placed elsewhere. Possibly a bug?

It feels like someone really doesn't want me to buy this game!

Update

I was able to log into my account with the Minecraft launcher. I clicked the "Buy the full version on the website" button, and was able to log in within Chrome. However, I can't access my profile page.

What the hell is going on?!

Update 2

I tried using Safari instead of Chrome and was able to access my profile. I'm still not able to buy the game though.

This is seriously weird.

Update 3

I tried using Firefox and got a popup when I clicked the purchase button. So far, Chrome, Safari and Firefox have given me different errors. Is the Minecraft website broken or something?

Update 4

I've tested 4 different browsers on 3 different networks and none of them let me buy this game. Maybe someone is trying to tell me that I shouldn't spend $35 on this.

texts:
This may seem counter-intuitive to winning, but some of the challenges tend to require a great deal of luck in order to obtain crystal rewards. I'm currently bashing my head against "Win the fight with 9 or less HP remaining" against a Hangarback Walker. Annoyingly, I had this challenge in the bag by accident the first time, and then a runaway series of combos managed to trigger a healing spell, and, well...

If the CPU gets a good hand and favorable board layouts, it tends to snowball. If it doesn't, it tends to flail helplessly. So setting up a situation where I can still win with low health is iffy.

In my last attempt I managed to get it into a good spot, but the CPU needed one more turn to bring me under 9 - a turn it would not have because there did not seem to be any way to prevent my creatures from attacking and defeating the enemy (who was at 1 HP).

So is there any way to prevent my side attacking?

Of course doing so on Victory Road would seem the first stop though I am apparently not allowed to use the VS Seeker in there. Would travelling to another area be more efficient for gaining Exp by doing rematches with trainers?

I have a profile picture for my Xbox Live profile that I would love to download. I got it for completing an achievement in Marathon: Durandal – I believe for the VidMaster achievement – and I have fond memories of getting the achievement. However, I have not been able to find a downloadable version of this image.

Unfortunately when I got my Xbox One I changed my profile picture, and I do not have the option to change it back (no Xbox 360 profile images were shown). This rules out an answer to a similar question. The iOS app appears to allow images to be uploaded, so I would love to download the image from somewhere and upload it as my profile image.

My profile on TrueAchievements shows the image in WEBP form, but changing the extension to .png yields a 64x64 png. I'm hoping that a higher resolution copy may exist on Microsoft servers!

My Xbox 360 profile still shows this image. I have tested this by loading a backwards compatible game on my Xbox One. So I'm hoping there's a URL somewhere that I can get this image from? I have tried a bunch of the "Xbox summary card" websites to see if they pull in my old profile image but so far none have.


texts: Why did I punt this baby like a football?

texts:
While going through level 2 I noticed a baby. It seems optional since once I rescued the 5 girls as standard the big robot comes to pick you up, but I went further and went to rescue the baby...which Patty promptly kicked off-screen.

What are the babies for? They seem to be optional objectives, but do I get anything for punting saving? them? Is there a baby to kick in every level? I found them in levels one and two.

texts: Can Space Engineers dedicate servers be saved manually?

texts:
So I built a dedicated server (as a windows service) for my brother and I to play on asyncronously, and set the auto-save interval to 24 hours. Today my brother and I spent several hours in game, and then I shutdown the dedicated server (stopped it through services.msc) to apply windows updates. Unfortunately, I assumed when shutdown it would auto-save my game. It did not.

Is there an option to do this? Alternatively, is there an option to save when a play enters/leaves the game? Anything other than the autosave interval?

Thank you


texts: Which 'Xbox One X enhanced' game is this city from?

texts:
I found a list of games from Microsoft which are supposed to be better on the X-Box One X. In this list was the following picture:

I wonder if this is a real screenshot of a game. I assume so because the other images on the site are from games, too. It looks a bit like Cyrodiil's Imperial City (unless there are no mountains), maybe someone can identify this nice city.

Which game is this city from?


texts: Unable to join game using WiFi connection?

texts:
My brothers and I have three devices running Android; a Motorola XT980, an Alcatel Touch and a tablet, connected via WiFi.

We all run Minecraft PE v0.8.0 and have no problems joining games with any of the devices.

However, when we host a game using the Motorola XT980, the other two devices are unable to join the game.

What could be causing this problem and how do we resolve it?


texts: Why are digital games more expensive than the shops?

texts:
I was about to buy StarCraft 2 in a digital version when I noticed it's about €15 more expensive than my local stores which are selling retail copies (€59.99 vs €44.99). These are Irish prices.

This is something I've seen several times over for PC games in the last year. Digital copy's cost far less to produce I'm sure as packing and distribution or none-existent once the IT expenditure for the online platform is establish.

Why is there such a price difference?

My friend has an IPad that he plays Minecraft on. He took shears and tapped a snow golem's face. Then suddenly, the pumpkin head disappeared and was replaced by smiley face. On PC though, I left and right clicked it's face with a shear but nothing happened. Is it possible to do this on PC?

P.S. Another way to see the smiley face is to go inside the golem.

There are numerous riddler challenges in Batman: Arkham City. Some of the riddler trophies are caged and you have to open the cage by activating the related mechanism.

For example, there are multiple riddler pressure pads which should be pressed simultaneously to get the cage opened. How can I do that? Should I look for materials around to be placed on those pressure pads? What equipment should I use to gain those trophies?

As an another example, I found some green question marks at the ceiling of a railroad car in the subway. By using the detective mode, I could see there are some wires connected to the question marks which end at some point. I tried throwing batarangs on them but no go.

Can you give me some tactics on how to deal with these riddles?


texts: Does matching the character to the kart matter in Double Dash?

texts:
From here:

  Each driver will go slightly faster if they are driving their own kart

I've seen this written elsewhere, but it all is just repeats of the same claim without evidence.

Also, later in the same article:

  It does not matter who you have driving; speeds remain the same no matter what character you choose to drive.

Given a particular kart, does character selection effect speed?

texts: Second city - a lot of turns for simple production

texts:
I am new to Civ games and started straight from 6.

After establishing second city  I've  noticed that number of turns required to produce a building or unit is huge!

E.g.
50 turns to produce a Builder.

How to redecue those numbers?

  Can I play Civ 5 without having Steam installed?

I purchased Civ5 Game of the Year Edition (physical CD) in June from Amazon - a seemingly brand new, unopened package.  I was never successful in installing and opening the game, and the Valve/Steam system was beyond confusing (I had no idea that you'd have to do anything other than purchase the game and pop in the CD).  For nearly 6 months, Valve/Steam reps have been entirely unhelpful and their most recent reply said they couldn't help me because the CD was previously purchased and the CD activation code had been registered in the past (explains the "duplicate / error" message I received when trying to get the game going).  As you can probably already tell, I'm a total novice when it comes to this kind of tech thing - although I'm a Civ vet... started with Civ1 around 1992 - so apologies if my rank amateur rambling is too much.
As it stands right now, I have nothing to show for the $38.44 I spent to buy this game on Amazon... nothing except 6 very frustrating months.
So, is there a workaround I can use (legal or otherwise)?  Or anything else you could recommend?
I have a MacBook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.5
Thank you VERY MUCH for any help you can offer me!  Like everyone else, I just want to get on to playing a favorite game!
Thanks! - theo
