Minecraft server will not work even with ports open everywhere. Why is that?

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 01:19 AM PDT

My Minecraft server is crashing instantly due to failing to bind a port when I put my Public IP in tp the server.properties file, yet when I make it blank and default to my PC's IP, nobody else can join.

I have not been able to find info about this anywhere online, as almost all of the solutions consider only people of the same network not being able to join as the context. I'm trying to make a Minecraft server for a discord group. No matter what I do, either everyone excluding me cannot join, or my server crashes. I have opened port 25565 on both TCP and UDP on both my Windows Firewall and my router, and I have even tried disabling my firewall altogether. Nothing is working.

[23:01:24] [Server thread/INFO]: Starting Minecraft server on xxx.xxx.xx.xx:25565  [23:01:24] [Server thread/INFO]: Using default channel type  [23:01:25] [Server thread/WARN]: **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!  [23:01:25] [Server thread/WARN]: The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: bind  [23:01:25] [Server thread/WARN]: Perhaps a server is already running on that port?  [23:01:25] [Server thread/INFO]: Stopping server

Please give me some info about this that actually works for other people that are not connected to the same network, and no, I am not accepting Hamachi as a solution.

Edit: I have also registered this domain using Cloudflare, because I wanted to use the domain for my website. Could that be causing interference?

Edit 2: Direct IP access works, but the domain does not, as I just found out recently. Is it an issue with the domain?

Is it possible to paste text into chat in rocket league?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:27 PM PDT

I was playing with someone who doesn't speak much english. I was using google translate and manually typing it in, which got very tedious as it's hard to remember foreign words. I tried copying the text and Ctr + V pasting it, but it didn't work. Is there a way for me to paste the text in?

Detect if SelectedItem is part of a #tag

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 06:08 PM PDT

On my constant tirade of making a PvP map so far, I've successfully made or modified custom death message systems for arrows and falling to death with help from here, but I also want a system in which can detect melee deaths via swords and axes to create custom death messages there as well.

I figured that the same system I'm currently using for arrows could work similarly for swords, minor exception in that I'd need to create tags to verify if the attack was a sword or an axe.

Is there a way, however, to check if a player's SelectedItem is in a certain tag (eg. I put all the swords into one called #swords)? Or do I need to set up a function for each sword rather than just testing for swords in general?

In case it's needed, here's how the system works generally;

  1. Check for player death via something other than an arrow (drowning, burning from lava/fire, and fall damage are non-existent, and mobs are turned off, and the gamemode is Adventure which prevents block placement, therefore no other damage types can be made)
  2. Run "generic" kill check, looking for if it's a sword or an axe <-- This is where the search would be looked for
  3. Check for enchantments/tags on the sword/axe that's found

Which cars can best land straight?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 04:34 PM PDT

The cars in Burnout Paradise like to steer in random directions when landing after a jump; the higher the fall, the harder it is to continue going straight.

Which cars are the most stable, and are thus suitable for landing huge jumps and keep going in a straight line?

I ran a UserBenchmark test and the graphics are at about 1.21%. What are some ways to fix this for cheap or free?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 04:28 PM PDT

My benchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/44519424 trash graphics

Specifications:   NVidia GTX 940M  Core i7-6500U (which is 2.5 GHz)  HP envy notebook (basically a laptop)

I have about 40-60 fps for low settings in MC (stated in my previous question) and 20-60 for low settings in Roblox (specifically Phantom Forces).

Plus, all of my hardware seems to be performing under expectations.

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks!

Can i import villager trading values to another player/level.dat?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:36 PM PDT

I had to make a villager hall on my survival world and notice that i was on the world and switched my account, when i loaded up the world i had the same items, everything looks like normal, but the discount that villagers gave me for curing them disappeared and my tame like dogs and cats doesnt sit/wander when i order to. I thought it might be because of my player.dat/level.dat and i could just ctrl-c ctrl-v something using NBTexplorer or Universal Mine editor but i dont know what i am supposed to search for and if it is possible, help?

Why do older generations games have a common look and feel by console?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 12:22 PM PDT

I've been getting into retro gaming in the last few years (the options for emulators are just so cheap and good) and I've noticed more and more that there is a common "look and feel" to games released on the same console in older generations. With SNES games, for example, I saw a screenshot of Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures and instinctively recognized it as an SNES game before reading anything about it. I've noticed this is also true of games for Genesis, NES, N64, and PS1. These sorts of visual distinctions seem to disappear around the sixth generation.

Is there a particular reason for this? Did developer kits back in the day steer people toward certain styles or did the fact that you targeted hardware more in older development result in the similarities or was it something else?

Using NBT tags in crafting

I am trying to make to make datapack that allows you to make for example sharpness VI. I know it isn't possible to make the result with nbt tag, but can you make the required items require specific tag? For this purpose - enchant books with specific enchant and level?

How do I detect when a shulker box is opened?

How do I use an NBT editor to modify item properties?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 10:27 AM PDT

In Minecraft, the NBT (Named Binary Tag) format is used to store data of our Minecraft worlds, including block, entity, and item properties.

In the Java Edition of Minecraft, you can modify this data by including the data in the command, like so:

/give @s diamond_sword{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:knockback",lvl:10s}]}

In the Bedrock Edition, on the other hand, NBT is inaccessible from commands. In order to modify NBT, we need to use an external editor.

What are some useful item properties that I can modify with an NBT editor, and how can I do so?

Would the gate in Path of Pain stay open if i saved and quit?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 09:46 PM PDT

I'm playing hollow knight on my switch, and one day i thought it would be a good idea to try and to path of pain for fun. I got about what i think is halfway (the chorus is singing in the background) and i hit a lever that made a gate open. However, i want to play other games on my switch now, but because theres no save points in Path of Pain, i was thinking i could just save and quit, and the gate would still be open when i came back. But i dont want to risk losing all of my progress on Path of Pain because... well... it's Path of Pain. It's hard.

How to get Pokemon Sun save file from an old SD card?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:02 PM PDT

I had a Pokemon Sun save file that I had found on my SD card for my Nintendo 3DS. I transferred it over from the old card to the new one, and deleted the save from the newest SD card. I went back in and my old save wasn't there. I'm very upset about this and I don't know what to do.

How can I beat Axis on dod_avalanche?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 09:44 PM PDT

I have recently gone back to playing Day of Defeat: Source. The servers are no where near as populated as they were when I played it regular, and therefore you don't always have the choice of playing on your favourite maps.

Back when I played regular, the dod_avalanche map was either a case of racking up easy/effortless kills if you were on the Axis team, or just pure frustration on the Allies team. At times I would play for a few hours until I got my first Allies win before leaving.

Not much on that front has changed in the years since the game's release. The Axis team has a major advantage in most, if not all, areas of the map:

  1. You can get into parts of the Allies spawn for spawn killing
  2. Allies cannot get into your spawn
  3. You can place an MG above the second Axis flag giving a strong defense on the flag below, and also stopping entry to the church or the middle flag
  4. Entrance to the church is only hampered by Allies in the apartment windows (which is never permanent)
  5. Entrance to the apartments from the second flag is rarely hampered
  6. First flag barely needs defending due to more-forward defending positions
  7. You have several sniper points from the main building across the top of the map
  8. You are pretty much fighting downhill for most of the map (of course, Allies are fighting up hill)
  9. The sniper points from the Axis side have poor lighting, whereas the main sniper point above the Allies window has no such advantage
  10. There are several spots in the middle of the map that are easier to exploit for the Axis, such as the plants around the church, the lower church entrance, the fountain and the "blind" corner

This is coming from years of experience, not just playing a couple of games in the past and a couple in recent times. A standard map usually sees Axis cap the middle flag almost immediately, then a prolonged fight with the second Allies flag swapping hands several times. Finally, the first flag capture (which is simply a drop out of the apartment windows) is timed nicely with the capture of the second flag for an Axis win.

I have seen plenty of good players on the Allies side (with high kdr, cap points etc) but unfortunately even with the best player in the game on your team, the map is completely in favour of an Axis victory.

Question

I was wondering if there were any known strategies to help tip the balance in favour of the Allies. Specifically, methods of holding the middle flag, as well as keeping pressure on the second axis flag. I'm not really interested in good sniper spots unless it can control a significant part of the map for others to concentrate on capping flags. I am looking for weak points in the usual Axis attack and how to exploit them.

Usual Failures

I cannot really get into church. Most times either an MG from the 2nd Axis flag mows me down or I get caught on the blind corner by a couple of support/assault soldiers. If there is an MG or group of closer soldiers I rarely make it (even with smoke for cover).

Apartments involves a lot of running up and down stairs without any penetration. Sure, I can rack up the kills but dropping to the third flag is far from profitable (getting shot on the way down is more likely) and the 2nd Axis flag is usually defended by a mounted MG plus several Axis on the move. If I kill the MG through nades I am prone to getting shot in the back by Axis on the move.

Running through the middle is useless for the same reasons as getting to church, plus the additional extra danger points (church entrance, church roof, far left hand side middle, shutters in top right, apartment entrance) - you are literally in the middle of all possible danger. You are very lucky if you can step out without something shooting at you.

My stuff disappears when I log off multiplayer mode in Minecraft

My wife and I are playing Minecraft over Lan, and whenever she logs off, we lose everything in her inventory. Why does this happen and how can we stop it?

Is there a glitch in the quest Revealing the Unseen?

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 10:51 PM PDT

I'm at the portion of the "Revealing the Unseen" quest (from the College of Winterhold) where I have to go to Mzulft and enter the ruins. However, when I try to interact with Gavros Plinius, the man slumped on the floor to the right when I enter the ruins, I cannot enter a conversation with him. According to the guide, as soon as I talk to him he should mutter some hint about the quest and drop a key that lets me through the door ahead.

I've tried talking to him, attacking him, pickpocketing him, and none of these things work. I've done other quests and then returned to try again, but still I'm unable to interact with him and get the key to enter the ruins. What can I do to continue this quest?
