How do I empty a bucket in Vintage Story?

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 01:43 AM PDT

I filled a bucket with water, but can only seem to empty it in a barrel. I just want to pour the water - I don't need it anymore. How do I do that?

Do the Skaal believe in reincarnation or not?

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 12:06 AM PDT

The Skaal are the only people with a clearly monotheistic faith I've encountered so far in Tamriel. However, I'm confused about their afterlife belief because of contradictory statements. Shaman Storn Crag-Strider says the following:

So according to Storn's statement it seems the Skaal believe in eternal life with God in Heaven. But when I read "Children of the All-Maker" I read the following statement:

The author, Tharstan of Solitude, told me he studied the Skaal almost a year now. In Morrowind Bloodmoon I so far never went far enough to have deep conversations with the Skaal, since Bloodmoon Skaal aren't as open-minded as described by Tharstan (I can only talk to the Skaal man whose son I have saved). Is there any clear final information on whether the Skaal believe in reincarnation or in eternal life in the hereafter?

Why does my hover keep moving away in Super Mario Maker 2?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 03:31 PM PDT

One day, I hop onto Super Mario Maker 2, and I am making a regular map.

And then, suddenly, when I place a Goomba on the ground, and leave the hover to get another item, the hover moves after placing it. There is nothing wrong with my Switch, and this is very frequent and common. I was moving the hover with the joystick, so I tried moving it on screen, but that fell flat. The movement the hover went was up, but slowly. There are forums about the hover moving offsite, but it didn't answer my question. I don't know where the Super Mario Maker 2 support is anyway.

If possible, can anyone please tell me what is happening and why it is moving?

Can I raise the power level of Gunsmith faction rewards in Destiny 2?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 02:48 PM PDT

I just got back into Destiny 2 after a long hiatus and am re-learning a lot of the game's systems, probably a lot of questions to follow! But today's question:

When I raise my reputation level with Banshee-44, is there a way to increase the power level of the rewards? Or is this just a way to basically get base-level legendary weapons to pick and choose the rolls I want to sink resources into upgrading?

For the record, some (probably related!) stats:

  • I'm power level 1298
  • All my Banshee-44 rewards are 1266 (so not much use to me unless I feed them)
  • I'm at level 34 reputation with Banshee-44

I have plenty (I think?) of resources to level up reputation: about 2700 gunsmith materials and 300 weapon telemetry data, so I could get several levels up. But I don't really want to do that now if I'm just going to get low-level weapons. I'd rather grind up to the season level cap and then worry about sinking resources into the stuff that I want to use long term. But if there is a way to get myself some nice, immediately usable guns that I've missed, that would be great!

Can I catch fish in Valheim with a bow, spear, or by hand?

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 12:19 AM PDT

Please, no spoilers. My friend and I are very much enjoying the "explore & discover" aspects of this game and I don't want to ruin that. I accidentally spoiled myself already by trying to answer this by google search - so please, no (more) spoilers.

We already know that somewhere (near the world's edge, we think) there is a Trader. We have not found him (although last night we went on a trip to the edge of the world and promptly fell off, complete with our boat and all of our best gear). My earlier google search indicated that the Trader sells fishing rods.

So, my question... is there any other way to hunt fish? They don't seem to be susceptible to spears (thrown or stabbing) or to arrows (at least, not wooden or flint ones).

Again, please minimize spoilers - "yes" and "no" are perfect, although if I'm missing something with spear/bow fishing and it is possible, some guidance would be nice.

*: I don't consider "looking for fish that washed up on shore" to be "hunting".

How can I detect the player holding a certain item?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 09:08 PM PDT

I am trying to make handcuffs in Minecraft with command blocks.

In order to make this, I need to be able to detect what item the player is holding.

Can I detect this using commands? I think that /execute will be helpful but I'm not sure.

When shift bridging/speedbriding in Minecraft, how much faster is it to bridge at 45 degrees than just bridging forward?

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 02:15 AM PDT

According to many Minecraft youtubers and guides, bridging at 45 degrees is much faster than bridging forward normally. How much of an advantage does bridging at 45 degrees give me over bridging forward?

What does the Golden Spatula do in Legends of Runeterra's Lab of Legends?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 09:43 PM PDT

There is a new item in Lab of Legends that has a very mysterious description. If I pick the Golden Spatula what actually happens to the card it is attached to?

A golden spatula

As you can see, I have it on my Laurent Chevalier but his stats and keywords did not change.

Teleporting entity through command block teleports entity to command block and stops moving, even with execute as

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 11:03 PM PDT

I am using a repeating command block to repeatedly teleport a falling block with a custom tag called "Debris" 0.125 blocks on the negative z axis causes the falling block to teleport to the command block instead and not moving at all:

tp @e[type=falling_block,distance=..200,tag=Debris]

I decided to fix this by forcing the falling block to run the command itself, instead

execute as @e[type=minecraft:falling_block,distance=..200,tag=Debris] run tp @s ~ ~ ~-.125

and I still got the same result of the block being frozen to the command block instead. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I summoned a block with a custom tag called "Debris", then used a repeating command block to force the block to run the command itself, but it ends up acting like the repeating command block is running the teleport command instead of the block, which is supposed to be running the command because of the execute as.

I go to play Destiny and it says no internet connection. Is there a way to play offline?

Screen flickers while using Minecraft Fabric

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 03:00 AM PDT

It looks way worse than it does here.

The graphics on the terrain, etc. flicker on and off, while the mobs seem to be just fine, as well as my player model and items. I have Fabric installed, and I only face this issue while it's downloaded. Why is this occurring?

How to prevent Minecraft griefing in Bukkit

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 01:06 AM PDT

I know it's there somewhere, but I cannot find it. A couple of years ago I was playing on an MC server where there was a good solution to prevent griefing. The method worked in the way that if a player places a block the other players cannot destroy that block and give a red message saying that they don't have permissions.

I've installed a Bukkit server with plugins "world-edit, world-guard, PermissionsEx". I need to put the block ID in somewhere but I don't know how.

I only need help setting up the block IDs to work with the plugins. I've already chosen the plugins I want to use and don't need recommendations.

How to start launcher Minecraft in offline mode in a mac

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 03:54 AM PDT

I want to play on a local server with online mode false, but when I turn off wifi, instead of showing the play offline button, it shows the login screen. How do I get around this?

How to start the Dark Brotherhood without killing Grelod the Kind

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 12:06 AM PDT

Okay, so, to be clear, I know that Grelod the Kind must die to start the Dark Brotherhood quest line. I also know that killing her has no consequences (except for Constance running around at least). But. I want to know if it's possible to start the quest without either myself OR my companions doing the deed.

The reason I think this might be possible is because, for some reason, Edda is coded to (murderously) hate Grelod: https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Edda

I think this is on purpose. But, I can't figure out any way to get Grelod to "be teleported" to where Edda can see her.

So.... I need a hint? Has anyone done this, specifically without console commands? (I'm on an XBox One, so I couldn't use them even if there was a way.)

Assuming someone cares, the reason I want to do this is that I'm trying to play "Lawful Good" and I want to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, but, to do this, I don't want to murder someone (no matter how much they might seem to deserve it.)

How to capture a flag in Teeworlds?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 09:48 PM PDT

I have been playing Teeworlds for a while but still can't understand the capture the flag logic. What exactly should I do to capture the flag in Teeworlds?

Can you tell if a specific item is dropped? What about its name?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 03:58 PM PDT

In Java Edition, I can test for a dropped item on the floor by using NBT:

/execute if entity @e[type=item,nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:green_wool"}}]

But in Bedrock Edition, NBT is inaccessible from commands. Is there still a way to test for a dropped item on the ground?

What about testing for a named item drop?

This would allow you to run certain commands when a specific item is dropped, for example, if the player drops a compass they could be teleported to the spawn of your world, or have a message shown to them.

How do I get a block with data to place myself?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 04:03 PM PDT

Are you looking for how to use /setblock with blocks with data? See this post.

How do I get a block with data in my inventory so I can place it myself? In Java Edition, these commands work:

give @s chest{BlockEntityTag:{Items:[{id:"diamond",count:10b}]}}  give @s sign{BlockEntityTag:{Text1:"{\"text\":\"foo\",\"bold\":true}"}}

How can I do this in Bedrock Edition, where there is no access to NBT tags from commands?

How do I make a scoreboard command that detects when a player crouches in multiplayer?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 05:04 PM PDT

In Minecraft 1.13/1.14, I start with some commands that work for singleplayer like:

/scoreboard objectives add Sneak minecraft.custom:minecraft.sneak_time  /execute as @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] at (my name) run effect give (my name) minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true  /scoreboard players reset @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] Sneak

I've already tested it on a multiplayer server and it doesn't appear to work. I then tried adding a tag:

/execute as @a[name=(my name),scores={Sneak=1..}] at Dashinglizard run effect give Dashinglizard minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true

and it still didn't work.

I do building, so I'm not very good at commands

Certain VR games give me a D3D11 access violation error as soon as they launch

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 06:01 PM PDT

First, I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this - I don't know where else to put it. If there is a more appropriate forum, I would much appreciate being told about it. I've searched the web for any other error like this, but I can't find a solution that works.

I use a Dell Visor headset on Intel UHD 620 graphics (it runs at a low framerate, but it hasn't caused any issues until now). So far, two games are giving me "d3d11.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)" at the start of their crash log:

  • Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
  • SteamVR Home

Beat Saber crashes in the same way, although I cannot find the crash logs to verify that it is the same error. This issue does not occur with other Unity games such as VRChat or Stick Fight.

As soon as the display goes from the SteamVR loading environment to the game, the HMD rapidly (once every few frames) flickers back and forth between a black screen and the first frame that was displayed by the game. The game itself inevitably crashes between 30 seconds to several minutes later. So far, I have tried these options:

  1. Reinstalling the game, the Mixed Reality Portal and SteamVR.
  2. Reinstalling my video drivers as well as running the DirectX runtime found on Microsoft's website.
  3. Fully reinstalling Windows 10.
  4. Adding a line to Beat Saber's launch options in a (presumably unsuccessful) attempt to force it to use D3D9.

Does anyone know of another solution?

UPDATE: It turns out that VRChat has the same issue, it just doesn't crash until I've played for a minute or two.

Is it possible to use NBT tags in commands in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 04:00 PM PDT

This question was recently split into different questions for each workaround. See these two meta posts for more information.

Can you use NBT tags in commands? I've tried commands that normally work in Java Edition like:

give @s minecraft:planks 30 1 {display:{Lore:["Wooden planks"]}}  give @s stone_pickaxe{Unbreakable:1b}  give @s item_frame{EntityTag:{Invisible:1b}}  summon villager ~ ~ ~ {Offers:{Recipes:[{buy:{id:"emerald",Count:5b},sell:{id:"diamond_sword"}}]}}  summon tnt ~ ~ ~ {Fuse:20s}

Mechwarrior (esp. Mercenaries / Vengeance) with Joystick / HOTAS on Win7x64?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 08:07 PM PDT

I've spent all day yesterday getting Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries to work on my machine, and, behold! It finally works and runs. But all I can do is stare at the inside of my Mechs' cockpit, as I had to use the gosnoJoystick (and gosnoVideo) command line arguments to even get it to run. Playing with anything but my trusty HOTAS is no fun. =/

Are there any tricks or hacks for getting MW4Mercs.exe to run, without having to use /gosnojoystick, or some way to use my controllers even when running it with /gosnojoystick? I've got Xpadder and a few other things here... all I could think of at this point would be to somehow ghetto this and map my mouse to the stick, and create zones along my throttle to trigger key presses... absolutely no fun...

I've not yet tried to install Vengeance again, so IDK if that one behaves better than Mercs... any ideas...?

How do Hestu's seed requirements scale?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 09:14 PM PDT

Every time you use Hestu to upgrade your space, it costs more seeds for the next upgrade.

I was keeping my upgrade levels equal across the board, just looking for the cheapest to upgrade, but I now think that all 3 scale at different paces.

So just to see if I'm hallucinating or not, how does Hestu scale for his upgrades?

Something like:

Swords

  • Lvl 1 - 1 seed needed
  • lvl 2 - 2
  • lvl 3 - 4
  • [...]

Testing for structures near players

Posted: 02 Apr 2021 12:06 AM PDT

I want to have a redstone timer that has a signal into a command block, with /execute @a ~ ~ ~ testforblocks <Coordinate 1> <Coordinate 2> <Relative Position> and then a compartor, testing if a structure 1 X away from the player (I may make it 2) is the same as a structure I built somewhere else. (A chest with a sign on top of it reading "[Case]" and then having 2 iron blocks next to the chest) Then, the chest will fill with random loot, and the iron and sign disappear. I know how to do the random loot, and how to make the blocks disappear, but using /execute will only test if A player is next to the structure. How do I tell the players that are near the structure from the players that aren't?

Can you sheathe your weapon in Borderlands 2?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 11:01 PM PDT

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I've just started playing Borderlands 2, and for whatever reason, I'm finding myself constantly waving a gun about no matter what I'm doing.

I'd like to be able to put the gun away while I'm just wandering around looting crates and whatnot. I know the violence doesn't stop for extended periods of time, but that's not important.

Can I sheathe my weapon in Borderlands 2? If so, what is the default control? (I've tried mashing all the buttons on my controller (playing on PC, using xbox 360 controller) but I can't get it to happen.)

Is it possible to return to Skuldafn without using the console?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 09:23 PM PDT

I read in this question that you can go back to Skuldafn while playing Skyrim on PC by writing something in the console, but I play Skyrim on my PS3 console, not on a PC.

I need to go back because a draugr thu 'umed my arse into the portal before I was able to kill Nahkriin and take his mask. Can I do it or not? Am I now not able able to unlock that other mask in Labyrinthian?
