Do particular zombies have any impact on the chance to drop items/coins?

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 01:14 AM PDT

I have asked about the chances of an item being dropped in PvZ1 before, but i was wondering, do certain types of zombies have an effect on this?

I was watching a speedrun of the game, and when they reached the Bobsled Bonanza minigame, the bobsled zombies really came out in force!

So I was wondering, is this a potential farming technique for money or items? Or do certain Zombies (like the Bobsled Zombies) have less/no chance to drop items?

Any way to change the position of the /title command?

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:44 AM PDT

When using the /title command it displays right in the center, I was wondering if there was any to display it somewhat to the left or right. I have tried using invisible characters but Minecraft just ignores them when rendering it. So, any ideas?

Has Pokemon Go changed their distance algorithm?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 11:03 PM PDT

I've been playing Pokemon Go for a few months now. I live in a major metropolitan area in the US, and pretty much since I started I have 4-5 pokestops in range of me when I'm sitting in my apartment.

In the past two weeks, I got super busy and didn't log in. Today, when I logged in, all the same pokestops are present, my avatar is in the same location, but I'm only "in range" of two of the pokestops.

Has the algorithm Niantic uses to detect if you're in range of a Pokestop changed? Does this happen often? (I've only been playing since February, and this is the first time for me.)

I took a screenshot to demonstrate. In the below screenshot the two pokestops hilighted in green are the only ones that I am now "in range" of. (For some reason the one on the left is out of range at the moment.) The two circled in red were previously consistently in range as well. The one in yellow was sometimes in range if there was some GPS drift.

Are there any entities in Minecraft Bedrock Edition that emit light?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 09:38 PM PDT

I'm trying to create an entity that emits light and so far I haven't had much luck. I've tried using the emissive block component:

"minecraft:block_light_emission": 0.8

Unfortunately for me, that didn't work out, but I expected that result. With that, I've been scouring the web and vanilla packs for a while now and I'm not having any luck with brute forcing an answer to my question.

Are there any entities (not items or blocks) in Minecraft Bedrock Edition that emit light?

Can I still access the rest of the cult dungeon if I killed Gaal?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 03:57 PM PDT

I'm playing Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, Enhanced Edition) and I've undertaken the side quest "Investigate and Destroy the Cult of the Eyeless". I went down into the sewers, met and recruited Keldorn, and entered the cultish area. After fighting through some shadows, etterkaps, vampiric mists, etc., I found Gaal in a small chamber.

I talked to him, but after talking in circles, I remembered that my quest goal was to destroy the cult, so I threatened him and he aggro'd. We fought, I killed him. Then I proceeded into the next room and killed the Unseeing Eye as well.

Now, though, I seem stuck. The area map shows there's a "To the Lair of the Unseeing Eye" exit point, but there doesn't seem to be a door or stairs at that location. Further, there's a sealed door near the entrance to this area that has a magical lock, so I can't pick it. I've looted all the corpses, and all the containers, but there doesn't seem to be any key available.

The quest log seems to be perfectly happy with me going the "kill all the things" route, but I'd still like to loot the heck out of the rest of the area. Is it possible to access the other parts of the cultish area, having killed Gaal without attempting to infiltrate the cult?

For reference, here's the current area map; I've indicated with arrows the two areas I'm trying to access. The arrow near my party in the green box is indicating the locked door. The arrow in the lower left is indicating the "To the Lair..." exit point.

Pokestop didn't appear even after 2 days of approval but Ingress portals are live

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 11:55 AM PDT

I have been adding new Pokestops in my deserted town (PokemonGo perspective of view) for a month and I have never encountered what I have experienced recently.

I nominated 2 stops and both of them got accepted. Two days passed and the Ingress portals are online, but the Pokestops in PokemonGo are missing.

Some readers may think that this has happened because the stops were too close to existing ones but there is an average distance of 600m between the old and new Pokestops.

So what might the problem be?

Is there any solution?

Why are some coins partially frozen?

Do households get repopulated in Cities Skyline?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 05:29 AM PDT

After people die, nobody takes their home, and in time i'm afraid my buildings will will get abandoned. My city has a lot of buildings set to historical and i don't want to rebuild them. And no, i'm not talking about entire buildings, only the households within them.

Steam Games Not Launching (I’ve Tried Everything!)

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 01:50 PM PDT

I have had my Dell XPS 8900 for several years, during which I was able to play all of my Steam games just fine. Recently, I have found that nearly all of my Steam games crash/fail to launch, and the "running" status on Steam simply reverts back to "Play." I've tried verifying files integrity, reinstalling each game, reinstalling Steam, and I even reset my pc to factory default. After downloading Steam on the fresh start, it still would not launch the Steam games. Any suggestions?

Can you re-recruit Dorn Il-Khan after dismissing him?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 11:18 PM PDT

In the Baldurs Gate 2 EE each of the party members can be dismissed after which they usually return to the same place where you've met them for the first time (or to a place significant for them for other reasons). Usually, when dismissing you can also ask them to stay and wait wherever you are at this moment.

However, when I've dismissed the Blackguard Dorn, the only option was to immediately get him back to the group or confirm the removal (in a more or less insulting way). After confirming the dismissal, he just grumbled that "I am a fool", and disappeared.

Can you re-recruit him before Throne of Bhaal? If so, where is he hiding after dismissal? IF it matters, I've completed his personal quest by staying loyal to his original demonic patron.

Transferring games from my friends PS4 to mine

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 02:02 AM PDT

My friend downloaded a game and the game is about 200 GB so I don't have that much internet capacity so I want to transfer the game to a external hard drive and again I want to transfer the game from the external hard drive to my PS4. The game Is free. I use different PS accounts in his and my PS4; can I still transfer the downloaded free game ? Thank you

can someone explain this to me step by step? My main question is whether you have to have internet or not.

Where in Undertale does it ever say that Sans has "karmic retribution"?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 12:34 PM PDT

I've noticed quite a lot in comment regions on youtube and such mentioning that Sans has this thing called karmic retribution which means people who have committed sins take more damage from him. Now, I've never played undertale (far too difficult for me) but I have watched 2 entire playthroughs of it all and try to keep tabs on it heavily. I'm confused where this comes from in game. I've never seen Sans or Flowey ever mention this (I would only assume to come from them as nobody else would have first... petal/bone experience).

Now I know what they are referring to (his poison attack that drains health), but I am confused where they get the idea that it's karma and not just a poison attack.

Why won't my minecraft horses breed?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 10:49 AM PDT

My two horses just won't breed. I've tried golden apples, golden carrots and normal carrots. I've tried with many horses but it doesn't work!! Am I doing something wrong? They're both tamed as well.

How can I shorten the time of a TNT explosion?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 06:53 PM PDT

Can I actually shorten the time of the explosion? When a creeper comes close to the player, the creeper needs time to charge and then explode, the same goes with TNT - it needs time to charge and then explode. So, can I actually shorten the time of explosion so that when people light the TNT block/creeper comes close to a player, they will explode immediately with commands?

Errors while Backing up Maps in MineCraft PE for android?

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 03:02 AM PDT

I am going to be getting a new phone soon and want to backup my world to transfer over but when I navigate to games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds/... and try to copy the contents, only a couple files transfer before an error pops up

ok so now I tried to do it to replicate the error (an error I've seen like 20 times) and it worked... :(

UPDATE: So I was able to get the error again, is just says unspecified error while coping files, and it seems to be the db folder that has the issue

How do I bypass the 16 character limit on username prefixes?

Does anyone know how to allow the prefix on a server to be more than 16 numbers/letters long? I would like to make the prefix for my server admins longer than 16 letters.

Example here is the prefix I want to create.

Xbox One not working when Switching Accounts?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 11:00 PM PDT

My brother and I want to play each other's games. I've switched his account to my home Xbox and he switched his xbox to my account. I was able to successfully download for example Dark Souls and play but when he logged in to play I got kicked out and was told an error message about logging into the account with the game or buying it.

I read in another forum and the Xbox support website that we could share and play at the same time, for example play online dark souls together. Or is that not a thing anymore? Did I miss a step? Anything else I need to do?

Technical Difficulties Running C&C Generals/Zero Hours on Windows 8.1

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 10:22 AM PDT

I wanted to play C&C Generals and Zero Hours again and installed the game on my Windows 8.1 dell 15R N5110 laptop. But when i run the game the following error pops up and i can't open the game.

enter image description here

I have played the same game installed using the same files earlier on the same laptop. This is not even after a re-format/update of Windows 8.1. What should i do to get the game running. I have searched and found a common solution where i have to create the Options.ini file in the Game data folder in Documents folder. But that did not work either. Can some one please help to resolve this. I really love playing C&C Generals.

Can't complete Striking the heart

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 07:00 PM PDT

I am unable to complete striking the heart quest. I don't suffer from the same bug where the enemy is already killed. I was able to kill the silver hand leader. My quest log tells me to talk to Aela. When I speak to her, I get no options to complete the quest. What are my options? I received this quest a while ago, went off and did other quests and then came back so loading up an old save isn't much of an option for me.

EDIT: I had the xbox 360 tag on since that is where I am playing. That was removed and I am not sure why. I felt this was important so that answers did not include doing something on the console.

Dawnguard DLC disappears after turning off Xbox

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 04:01 PM PDT

I have been playing Dawnguard for awhile now and I got up to the mission where you get the dragon Elder Scroll. After I got it I saved, turned off my xbox and went to bed. When I got up next morning my dlc was gone but I still had the scroll...

I reinstalled it but now I can't even get the guard to tell me about the Dawnguard or talk to anybody inside the fort. Anybody got any ideas how to fix this problem?

Problems with playing Battlefield 2 where "My Documents" are not in the default location

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 06:18 PM PDT

I am having a problem with Battlefield 2 in where I receive a error popup on game start (after the intro menus):

LOCERROR_Unable to open current profile.

I think this is down to the fact my documents area is stored on my home server, instead of the C:\Users\%username%\Battlefield 2 expected location. If I start the game on a local (i.e no network documents) account I can start and play the game fine, creating a local account. I can then copy the "Battlefield 2" folder created in that accounts documents and place it in My Documents which removes the error show above, but when I try to start a mulitplayer or singleplayer game the game crashes with a black screen back to the desktop.

It seems to be a fairly common problem and I have found many references in EA and other forums, although no definitive answer (and the appearance of the evil "I found what the problem was but I'm not going to post it here").

Is there a way, using symlinks or junction points in Windows 7 to get this to work? I've thought about manually creating a "My Documents" Folder on the C:\ drive but am unsure if this will work.

Game Info: Battlefield 2, Updated to 1.50. No Mods, although Sandbox had the same problem. The computer is more than capable of running the game.

I've checked the registry settings and while there is a "InstallDir" entry which points to the correct place there are no settings that detail a user profile. As an interesting note, it's possible to copy your Battlefield 2 folder to a USB/Portable Hard disk and run it from that (although it's slow to start up initially).

Using a network share or drive mappings makes no difference (eg \filesvr\tom$\My Docs or N:\My Docs). Even changing it to a different partition on the same computers disk gives grief.

There is a folder created in the Battlefield 2 root directory with the name of my file server and some profile settings created in that.

After a clean install of Windows 7 onto a spare machine over the weekend and using the excellent Everything search tool I have found that profile details have also been saved in:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\[fileserver]\userstore$\[username]

...so I'll try poking around with these files and symlinking/robocopying them to where they should be. Hopefully the end is in sight.

Can you pause Terraria?

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 04:33 PM PDT

I can't find a pause button in Terraria, is there one? If I press the escape key, it just brings up my inventory - I tried pressing different keys, but none of them seem to do anything.
