Can I raze a city after conquering it in SMAC (Alpha Centauri)?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:02 AM PDT

As probably happened in history, I am on a rampage and intend to fully obliterate an opposing faction.

As such, I do not want to have to garrison newly conquered cities, which gives me the choice of leaving a strong defence and reducing the momentum of my Bltzkrieg, or risking having he cities recaptured.

Can I "salt the earth" of conquered cities (destroy them immediately)?

IIRC, Master of Orion 2 gave the option of reducing population by 1 each turn, until the city eventually disappeared. Better than nothing, I suppose, but I want them GONE - and now.

I had considered nuking them, but often my troops are too near, and Gaea already hates me because of my production.

Is Steam obligated to provide downloads of games for life (of the Steam account holder)?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:54 AM PDT

Also, what happens to your Steam library if Steam goes out of business?

I learned the hard way that the Apple iTunes app store is a `marketplace' and, after the first time you download a game, you have no recourse if the app is removed from their servers and the developer does not respond to e-mails (see Is it possible to copy an app from an ipad back to a Mac/PC in cases where you didn't keep the .ipa file?). Digital downloads on Xbox 360 came with a similar warning but Microsoft's policy might have changed with backwards compatibility.

Perhaps digital games are like a good bottle of wine -- you never buy one, only rent it.

Is there a way to run a command if a player is holding a specific players head?

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:20 PM PDT

I'm trying to make a datapack that makes player heads drop on kills that give you abilities if you use them. Right now I'm trying to make a line where if you right-click the specific player head then it will continue the rest of the function and I'm starting out by making sure that you're holding the specific head and so far I have this:

execute at @a[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Name:shaeno}}"}}] run say hi  

and I've also tried this:

execute at @a[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:Wumpter}"}}] run say hi  

but neither seem to work. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to copy an app from an ipad back to a Mac/PC in cases where you didn't keep the .ipa file?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:04 AM PDT

I am hoping I can backup games that are on my iPad for which I don't have the .ipa file.

My understanding is that iTunes is a marketplace and so in some cases it may no longer be possible to re-download apps that lose developer support. However, you can still sideload your backup .ipa files with iTunes 12.6.5.3 provided you kept them.

So far I have lost 10 games that I paid for (admittedly most of them 99 cents each): ARC Squadron, Borderlands Legends HD, From Cheese, Lili, The Other Brothers, Pixel Disc Golf, Sid Meier's Pirates! for iPad, Stride & Prejudice, Terra Noctis and ZiGGURAT, and one in-app purchase: `Escape - Norm's World XL, Two-Player Game Modes'.

How do i get past the second part of the Slimescraper?

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 12:46 PM PDT

Once you get past the bumpers, you are challenged with a bunch of really small laser floors that turn on and off. I have tried, but I can't get past them. I am always bumped by another player, or I barely miss and fall to the floor, where I have to start over. By my third attempt the slime hits me and I'm eliminated. I tried to figure out the pattern of how they turn on and off, but it seems completely random. I have tried walking on the thin platforms on the edge of the lasers, but it seems very finicky, sometimes I walk just fine, other times I slide off.

How do I cross these effectively?

I would just keep trying, but since it doesn't come that often it's hard to practice, and I just need to know if something I've tried won't work so I won't waste my time trying again. What should I do?

Do Nintendo Switch game downloads pause when the console is shut off?

Can I Unlock The Fallout: New Vegas Steam Achievements If I Buy It Through Bethesda.Net?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:05 AM PDT

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition is currently 50% off on the Bethesda.net launcher.

If I buy it there, can I just add it to my Steam account and earn the Steam achievements for Fallout: New Vegas, or do the achievements only work if I get a Steam key for the game?

When buying/installing the game, no option for Steam was shown, and I did not get a key to activate it on Steam. It seems that I can only play it through the Bethesda.net launcher, so I am thinking about refunding it, unless someone else knows a solution?

Minecraft Server - Specifying java version usage with flag

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 06:02 PM PDT

Problem

I want to run two servers, one in 1.17 using Java 16 and the other in 1.12.2 using Java 8.

The argument I want to use in the .bat file is "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\lib" -jar but it doesn't work.

.bat

The full .bat is as such.

Error message

The error given is:

Error: Could not find or load main class C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\bin\java.exe  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\bin\java.exe  

I don't know how to resolve the error of the java class not being found.

Additional details

I am running JRE 16 and Java 8 on the same computer. Only the 1.17 servers start with this installation set up.

The 1.12.2 server starts when I uninstall JRE 16.

What's exploding all the time?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 03:58 AM PDT

I'm playing my fourth survival game on the Earthlike start as I learn to play this game. Now and again I've heard a distant explosion.

For my first two games, I assumed these were unannounced meteors, since I was playing with meteors on, and I noticed the "Meteor Storm Incoming" alert was buggy.

Except now I'm playing with meteors off, and I'm still hearing it. Moreover, I have now witnesses the explosions twice (my current base is atop a a hill with excellent viewshed over the surrounding terrain). Once I caught the residual smoke from the explosion, and just this morning the whole thing - fireball and all - erupted in front of me, probably about 750m-1.5km distant. (There's no distancing laser, so I can't be certain).

These explosions leave no craters in the voxel material as would a crash, so I don't think they're unmarked "unknown signals" meeting unfortunate ends... but I can't imagine what else these could be?

Proslife PS4 Controller Bluetooth Not Working On Windows 10

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 09:08 PM PDT

My Proslife controller works in-game over USB but not via Bluetooth. It is connected to the PC via Bluetooth and the input test works when running JOY.CPL, it even works on the controller menu in Steam settings. But in-game, the controller is not detected. It also doesn't seem to be detected by DS4Windows. Please help, I am losing hope.

Health core drain rate -900%

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:13 AM PDT

In RDR2 I am in Chapter 3. At health progression level 8, weight average, and temperature fair, I have the core drain rate of - 900%. By negative percentage I mean it is red and has a down arrow. Why is it so? Is it a bug? As shown in the image the core and ring/bar are both full. The same for stamina and dead eye. The past 4 game-days, Arthur was just eating food in Valentine's saloon (5,6 portion per time ) and 5 to 11 hours of sleep in the hotel next to it. But weight does not go higher than average and the drain rate remains unchanged.

Which items cannot be smelted in neither the smoker nor the blast furnace?

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 07:20 PM PDT

1.14 saw the addition of smokers and blast furnaces to Minecraft. Their main purpose is to speed up the smelting of certain items. Smokers are for smelting food, and blast furnaces are for non-food items. Right?

Apparently, I was wrong.

I just tried to smelt sand to make it into glass. It wasn't a food item, and I put it in the blast furnace. It wasn't accepted.

I then thought maybe that it was considered a smoker item, not a blast furnace item. So I decided to put it into the smoker and test it.

It also wasn't accepted.

Therefore, it must be that some items cannot be smelted in either special furnace, and must be smelted using the normal furnace.

I now know that Sand → Glass is a recipe that must be used in a regular furnace, and not a smoker/blast furnace.

The Minecraft Wiki doesn't provide a full list of these items, only saying that "some items" are not compatible with either furnace.

To save me from having to enter the maintenance area of my Smoker & Blast Furnace Super Smelter™ and pluck out items that don't belong, could someone provide a full list of these items?

How to track a specific player with compasses in Minecraft 1.15 Java Edition

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:10 AM PDT

I have seen the videos of Dream and GeorgeNotFound filming a Minecraft hunting event. I want to replicate this but I am not sure how to create a tracking device in Java Edition. I want to know how I can do this with command blocks but I'm not very good at it.

How can I make an execute command there is a player looking at another player?

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 02:05 PM PDT

I want to make an execute command execute if any player is looking at any other player. I haven't been able to find anything about this online, so I am wondering if it is possible at all. I've tried some different commands to do this, but I accidentally removed them so I don't have the commands. They didn't work so I guess that doesn't matter.

I'm playing on the 1.15.2 Java edition

How do you change to a double skin in agario?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 02:02 AM PDT

I've noticed some people have a skin. When they duplicate, the second skin is different.

How do you get those?

Look at the player "Mexicano" in the picture below. His original skin was green but the duplicates are a mushroom

Help identifying this Pokemon-like character

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:02 PM PDT

I received a mixed bag of Pokemon figurines with varying degrees of accuracy with regards to their colour and appendages. All but one of them I have been able to identify, and my conclusion is that while it looks like a pokemon, I don't think it is.

Imgur Imgur Imgur Imgur

Is someone able to identify the character? As it was in a mixed bag of Pokemon characters, I figure the chances are that the factory produced characters from a number of game franchises, and this one got mixed in. I'm also open to the fact that it might be a Pokemon and I have a gap in my knowledge.

Here's an example of the pokemon figurines received at the same time, in which this mystery figure was found:

Mechanics of this observer stabilizer?

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:01 AM PDT

enter image description here

Wu Qiufeng built this observer stabilizer on Youtube yesterday.

It looks really attractive and efficient but also confusing to me. Could someone tell me why the second pulse is prevented from firing the piston? Thanks.enter image description here

enter image description here

I just did some further experiments on this contraption and placed under the observer a movable block instead of the melon. Now it gets stuck in this common observer piston loop. However, the fact that the sticky piston does not abort on the falling edge of the first pulse and pulls back the stone to its original position is unexpected and attracts my attention since I assume that observers always emit pulses of 1 redstone tick length, which theoretically would result in the abortion of sticky pistons (e.g. they leave the movable block on the off pulse and retracts itself without it). Does this suggest that the observer on the top layer contribute to the extension of the first pulse to at least 1.5 redstone ticks? If so, how does that happen? I thought the two horozontally placed observers would react simultaneously.

Summoned Items Pop Out of Blocks

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 03:05 PM PDT

I'm trying to summon an item inside a glass block (it's not because it's transparent or even glass, I tried with concrete too, an it still happened), but it just jumps out, which defeats the purpose of it being in the block. Does anyone know what I can do to stop this from happening?

Mismatched vertical and horizontal sensitivity

Posted: 12 Jul 2021 03:36 AM PDT

Mirage: Arcane Warfare has an increased emphasis on ranged combat over the developer's previous game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and vertical (y-axis) sensitivity is far lower than horizontal (x-axis) sensitivity. How to even out mouse sensitivity?

Faster reacting Comparator

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 07:05 PM PDT

I am making a fully working FNAF 2 Minecraft multi-player gamemode! I plan to publish it when I am completely done and fixed all bugs. This isn't a bug, it's just that I have the right idea, but I don't know how to do it! As you may know, in FNAF 2 when certain animatronics get into your office or near it, you put on the spare Freddy head to fool them into thinking you are one of them. I have made this feature but I have to use a comparator to detect the player putting it on! And it is a few ticks (1-3) to slow! It's a tiny diffrent you might think, but it's not fair if he is holding it and in those few ticks the animatronic kills him. Any help on how to make a instant reacting comparator-type command creation? Thanks.
