How does Taal's Twinned Arrow work?

Posted: 10 May 2021 03:30 AM PDT

screenshot of Taal's Twinned Arrow description

The Chaos Wastes game mode boon, "Taal's Twinned Arrow" is described:

Ranged attacks now fire one additional projectile.

How does this work with weapons and career skills / ults where this description is not quite straightforward, like ranged attacks that don't have projectiles or have multiple projectiles per shot? For example:

  • Sienna's Beam Staff - How are its beam, blast, and burst attacks affected?
  • Sienna's Conflagration Staff - I noticed that it works as described with the primary fireball attack but I'm not sure how it affects the secondary area of effect attack.
  • Sienna's Coruscation Staff - How are the shotgun blast-like primary attack and the secondary area of effect attack affected?
  • Flamethrower-type weapons: Sienna's Flamestorm Staff and Bardin's Drakegun - How are the flames affected since they're not exactly "projectiles"?
  • Sienna's staves in general: Does it also generate overcharge for the additional projectile fired?
  • Shotgun-type weapons: Bardin's Grudge-Raker and Kruber's Blunderbuss - one extra pellet or double the total pellets per shot?
  • Are the projectiles of ranged attack career skills / ults (e.g., Waystalker, Bounty Hunter, Pyromancer, Outcast Engineer) affected? How are they and their variations as modified by talents affected?
  • Saltzpyre's Rapier special attack (pistol shot). It is not exactly classified as a ranged weapon in the game, so I'm not sure if it's also affected.

What do the numbers in brackets mean after City/Village on the RRT player aid card?

Posted: 10 May 2021 02:26 AM PDT

The Railroad Tycoon player aid card shows the industries that produce certain goods, and the places that consume them. However, after "Village" and "City" is sometimes a number in brackets:

What does the number mean?

How much Lore/Story is currently available in Diablo Immortal?

Posted: 09 May 2021 09:15 PM PDT

So at this stage, Diablo Immortal has been released into Alpha for the general public. After having played it a bit, I found that it was not for me.

However, I am an avid follower of the Lore and Story in the Diablo series, and am very keen to know what Immortal adds to the storyline. For example, what I do know so far is:

How much story/lore have they provided so far, in the initial Alpha release?

Where do you find Mew?

Posted: 09 May 2021 04:43 PM PDT

I noticed from this question that Mew is in the game. However I've beaten the game and never even saw one. Where is Mew?

Please provide a hint rather than a solution. Or at least, put the solution in a spoiler tag.

What is the efficient way to reach the Star Metal and Black Ice zone?

Posted: 09 May 2021 04:01 PM PDT

In Conan Exiles the map is divided in a different biomes with a different climate - from hot desert to icebergs. The most advanced minerals - Star Metal, obsidian, gold and black ice - are only available in the frozen areas on the north of the map.

However, when I am trying to reach that area, I am immediately struck by cold, even while I am wearing the Winter's Majesty armor set, which gives in total (at least according to wiki) 10 bars protection from cold. Of course, the natural answer would be "get a better cold-resistant armor", but to get something epic like the Godbreaker set (40 bars in cold resistance) I need access to Star Metal and Black Ice, but as I've mentioned, I can't reach it without better armor. Catch-22.

I know that you can drink alcohol to warm yourself up, but that ends with getting drunk (and having hangover), not mentioning that it doesn't last long.

So what is the efficient way of reaching the star metal and black ice area?

OpenTTD Finding Competition

Posted: 09 May 2021 03:30 PM PDT

I'm currently writing an AI to play OpenTTD, and I'm trying to find out how many people & mail will be available if I build a station covering an entire town. (Such as 100 passengers and 20 mail every month)

To calculate this, since I haven't seen any way to get this directly using the API, I need to use the formulas OpenTTD uses to distribute cargo.

Cargo is split based on the top local rating of each competitor in a city.
For example: If company A has two stations (Rating 50% and Rating 40%), and company B has one station (Rating 50%), half of the cargo goes to A and is split between their two stations, and the other half goes to B's single station.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to find a way to find a way to access any of this data using AIStationList.

AIStationList(AIStation.STATION_ANY).IsEmpty() Returns true, despite there being stations from competitors.

I then attempted a workaround by getting the stationID using:

local industry_id = 0; //Industry ID to target, using a coal mine to test  local tile_list = AITileList_IndustryProducing(industry_id, AIStation.GetCoverageRadius(AIStation.STATION_TRAIN));    for (local tile = tile_list.Begin(); tile != 0; tile = tile_list.Next()) { //Tile is 0 when list exhausted      local station_id = AIStation.GetStationID(tile);      if (station_id != 65535){ //Empty tiles given ID 65535          AILog.Info("Tile!   |   "+tile+"   |   StationID: "+station_id+"   |   CargoPlanned: "+AIStation.GetCargoPlanned(station_id, 1)+"   |   CargoRating: "+AIStation.GetCargoRating(station_id, 1));      }}

This essentially gets checks the tiles around the industry to find any stations, however even with the station IDs, I still can't get any information about the station ratings, cargo loaded, or the company that owns them.

Code output

So my overall question: How can I find how many passengers and mail will go to my station?

Multiple Profiles/Players on New Pokemon Snap?

Posted: 09 May 2021 03:31 PM PDT

I just recently purchased New Pokemon Snap Digital Download on my Switch. My husband has a separate account on our switch and was unable to play (it was purchased on my account). If he plays on my account is there a way to create a new profile or does he have to continue where my game left off?

Who is the Snake Eater theme being "sung to"?

Posted: 09 May 2021 03:17 PM PDT

The incredible Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater theme has the lyrics:

I'm searching and I'll melt into you

and:

I give my life, not for honour, but for you

Is there a canon identity of the "I" singing and the "you" to whom they're singing?

Baldurs Gate 3 - Trailer Dragons

Posted: 09 May 2021 03:08 PM PDT

I've watched the trailer a few times, and got a question there. The dragons shown in the trailer/intro are red dragons as it seems. Is there any clear indication as to what age class they are of? At first I would have guessed ancient ones, but due to how large they are compared to their riders they would seem quite smaller to me than I had thought ancient ones would be.

Thus what age class are they?

Ps3 controler issue

Posted: 09 May 2021 07:02 PM PDT

We have a wireless PS3 controller and have been using it for months now. We turned it on today and it says "connect USB controller." We don't have a USB one, so what can we do to fix it?

How to effectively/quickly level Illumina routes?

Posted: 09 May 2021 11:49 PM PDT

I completed the main story to New Pokemon Snap, and I am going back to the previous routes and maxing out each one for 100% completion. While time consuming, the standard day/night routes are fairly straight forward to max out due to how expedition points are calculated.

However, because of the way expedition points are calculated, I am having a difficult timing gaining adequate expedition points in the Illumina routes. These routes will have very few Pokemon to take pictures of, so the amount of experience you can obtain is limited. The last three attempts at the Meganium route, I received 0 expedition points with having 29,000 left to hit the next level (or max?)

Is there a special trick to gain experience and level up Illumina routes?

How can I change the size of an item when held in Minecraft 1.8.9?

Posted: 09 May 2021 04:00 PM PDT

I'm trying to change the size of an iron sword so that it's bigger when held. I'm in Minecraft Java version 1.8.9.

I have a file named iron_sword.json and it's directory is assets/textures/models/item/iron_sword.json It's content is the following.

{      "parent": "item/generated",      "textures": {          "layer0": "item/iron_sword"      },      "display": {          "thirdperson": {              "rotation": [ 0, 90, -35 ],              "translation": [ 0, 1.25, -4.2 ],              "scale": [ 1.2, 1.2, 1.2 ]          },          "firstperson": {              "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],              "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],              "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]          }      }  }

I don't know what is wrong. Is it the file directory or the content of the file?

What does the special word do in Monster Seeking Monster?

Posted: 09 May 2021 06:53 PM PDT

On some nights in Monster Seeking Monster the narrator will give a special word. She says that it has something to do with a monster's power but none of the monsters have a power that has to do with a secret word. What does the secret word do and which monster can use it?

What's the difference between Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal?

Posted: 10 May 2021 02:47 AM PDT

After seeing positive feedback about Persona 5 I decided to try it myself. But when I went to PS Store there are so many different versions and packs I'm confused which to buy. Across all packages and costume bundles I identified two major ones - Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, and also found this question about them: Does Persona 5 Royal have all of Persona 5's DLC? , which suggest they are the same game.

What's the difference between them? Is "Persona 5 Royal" just "Persona 5" with all DLCs?

How to get/craft non-advanced colour crystals

Posted: 09 May 2021 11:04 PM PDT

I've recently started playing SWTOR with my girlfriend (she's FTP) and I'm trying to get her a colour crystal for her lightsaber because right now she doesn't have one equipped. I've been levelling up artifice but can only seem to craft advanced crystals which she can't use...

How can I get the plain old crystals that she can use?

PS4 Confused about who needs a PSN account

Posted: 09 May 2021 06:04 PM PDT

I have setup a PSN account for myself and sub accounts for my children.

When they atempt to play a game they are asked to sign into their PSN account but the following screens are asking them to create an account. So we did that and the family now have 4 accounts on 4 different email addresses. Did we need to do that? I can still access parental controls from my account.

Can we get by somehow with just one account plus sub accounts and each person still save their gameplay seperately?

If I now get a Playstation Plus Subscription will all 4 users be able to play the 2 included games each month and save their gameplay seperately.

New MCPE update causes app to crash when loading skin

Posted: 09 May 2021 08:07 PM PDT

I have two iPads and two iPhones, and two of the oldest ones of the iPads and one of the iPhones have not had this problem because I think they didn't get this update. The other two, however, are trying to load skins we have created and fail, crashing the game in the process. I could just delete the app and reinstall it but I'm afraid I'll have to pay for it again. How can this be fixed?

How can I disable "Screenshot Saved" notification?

Posted: 09 May 2021 09:05 PM PDT

When I take a screenshot my PS4 shows "Screenshot saved" notification, and I think the same happens for videos too. But it hangs there for some time, and if I want to take another screenshot this notification stays there, like this:

Screenshot saved notification

How can I disable these notifications? I want my screenshots nice and clean!

What determines if a Mech is available as salvage?

Posted: 10 May 2021 12:03 AM PDT

In MechWarrior 5, what determines if a Mech is available for salvage at the end of the mission? I've tried blowing the legs off, but that doesn't seem to be the deciding factor.

For clarification, I'm not asking about getting enough salvage parts to claim one, but what makes them show up in the available salvage in the first place

How do I execute multiple function within another function?

Posted: 09 May 2021 07:03 PM PDT

In Minecraft 1.13.2 Java

Previous title of this question was : What is console command to fly in creative mode? supposing an issue with 'flying'.

I want to execute multiple functions (from function files).

To be executed is a series of circle ploting in order to create a circular tower.

The code for the circle:05 function file is working as expected ingame. It clones the block from underneath the executer to plot a circle around @s then teleport @s 1 block over.

circle:05

clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-5 ~ ~0  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4 ~ ~-3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4 ~ ~-2  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4 ~ ~-1  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4 ~ ~1  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4 ~ ~2  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4 ~ ~3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-3 ~ ~-4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-3 ~ ~-3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-3 ~ ~3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-3 ~ ~4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-2 ~ ~-4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-2 ~ ~4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-1 ~ ~-4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~-1 ~ ~4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~0 ~ ~-5  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~0 ~ ~5  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~1 ~ ~-4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~1 ~ ~4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~2 ~ ~-4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~2 ~ ~4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~3 ~ ~-4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~3 ~ ~-3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~3 ~ ~3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~3 ~ ~4  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~4 ~ ~-3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~4 ~ ~-2  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~4 ~ ~-1  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~4 ~ ~1  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~4 ~ ~2  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~4 ~ ~3  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~5 ~ ~0  clone ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~ ~  tp ~ ~1 ~

My problem is to execute multiple times this function (circles:05)

I tried with basic code line writing function circles:05, then execute as @s ~ ~ ~ run function circles:05 but nothing works.

maketower

execute as @s run function circles:05  execute as @s run function circles:05  execute as @s run function circles:05  execute as @s run function circles:05

Both files are in the correct folder, available within the ingame command-line but the result is not working because @s seems to falls down on previous block after /tp.

Any clue on how to make this work / the console command to fly?

ps. Can someone with 300 reputation create tags 1.13, ability for me?

Can you retrieve datapoints if you missed them during the mission?

Posted: 10 May 2021 02:50 AM PDT

According to the IGN wiki, it looks like I missed a hologram datapoint during the Deep Secrets of the Earth mission. The wiki says it is automatically obtained, but somehow I finished that mission without triggering this one:

DATAPOINT 13 - GAIA LOG: 5 JUNE 2065

Can I still retrieve this datapoint after the mission has completed?

How do I catch 'critters'?

Posted: 09 May 2021 07:15 PM PDT

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

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

How do I capture confoundingly mobile elixir ingredients?

Can't deploy SRV in Elite: Dangerous

Posted: 09 May 2021 08:00 PM PDT

I'm trying to deploy a Surface Recon Vehicle (SRV) in Elite: Dangerous (with the Horizons DLC), but the option to Deploy the SRV in red / greyed out, so I can't select it.

Question: How do I deploy the SRV?

Get all players that aren't on two teams?

Posted: 09 May 2021 07:49 PM PDT

Right now, I'm trying

@a[team=!admin,team=!checkpoint]

but it doesn't seem to be working... Any suggestions?

To clarify, I want all players that are not on the team 'admin' nor 'checkpoint'. I'm also trying to keep everything vanilla.
