How do I change Minecraft Java for Linux game instance directory location?

Posted: 01 Oct 2021 03:36 AM PDT

NOTE: The system I am talking about is Linux which has different file system from Windows, meaning %APPDATA%/.minecraft is non-existent in Linux

So I have installed Pop!_OS to learn linux and I have game save from Windows 10 stored in a external drive following this page. Now that I have installed Minecraft from official site, how do I tell the Minecraft in Linux where to look for the game saves and account information?

Pretty much the title - which (if any) Duke Nukem 3D / Build engine source ports offer integer scaling?

Can a zombie despawn with a item held or an Armour piece on their body within the Spawn Chunks

Please tell me about the Zombies Despawning requirements.

Why is it common to have mute playable characters?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 08:44 PM PDT

I see a lot in Metroidvanias but also in other types of games a main character that listens a lot from NPCs but don't answer anything. Obviously it's intended. What's the purpose?

Can anyone identify what the name of this outfit?

How do I keep an item upon death?

Posted: 01 Oct 2021 02:55 AM PDT

I'm trying to give myself an item that will keep in my inventory when I die. This is my current command that I got from a YouTube video:

give InstantNuggets compass 1 0 {"keep_on_death"{}}

Unfortunately this command is not working. The error message I am receiving is:

Syntax error: Unexpected "{" at "p_on_death>>{<<}}"

What is wrong with my command? How can I fix it?

In Little Big Planet 3 how do I reset a section in my level, when I die?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 02:58 PM PDT

For instance, a player is being chased and things around them are getting destroyed. However they get killed, everything in the scene goes back to the way it was before they died. So then they can keep trying.

There's an example. In one of the levels trying to get swoop, there is a challenge where you have to find a bubble inside the belly of a whale. One of the scenes within that level, has the Sackboy try to make it up to the top of a certain area before the whale's stomach acids get you. Each time you die, everything goes back to the way it was, so you can keep trying.

In Little Big Planet, what the creators have been able to do, they gave us the material so we can do the same. So there has to be a way to do this. Is there?

Is there an actual armor to craft after completing Hermes' Task Board?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 12:54 PM PDT

I've already collected all Mythical, Molten and Midnight fragments, and their description states that after completing every Hermes' Task all fragments can be merged to craft a wonderful armor.

Ok, I did it. How to get that armor? The only things I obtained after completing each task were armor skins, which is NOT a wonderful armor at all. Also because I still have the fragments in my inventory.

Is there any final armor to craft or does my prize consist only in lousy skins?

Server crashes after "player moved too quickly"

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 12:09 PM PDT

I have a problem on my server, when for example someone flies with the Elitres wings or many players are running discovering new chunks in different places on the map, the following warning appears on the server:

"player moved too quickly"

But when it happens with several players, the server crashes, I do not know if it is a server problem, or if it is some bad configuration of the server files, since an old admin said that he had modified them to go better, but I do not know. ...

How to make a repeating command that will give a player an enchantment when holding a specific item?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:44 AM PDT

I know next to nothing about command blocks, but I've managed to make a command block give a player an effect when an item is held. The issue is I can't get it to work with my test item. I used this command to make the item:

/give @p bow{Unbreakable:1,display:{Name:'[{"text":"Test bow","italic":false,"color":"light_purple","bold":true}]',Lore:['[{"text":"chunga","italic":false,"color":"dark_purple"}]','[{"text":"grunga","italic":false,"color":"dark_purple"}]']},Enchantments:[{id:flame,lvl:1},{id:power,lvl:10},{id:punch,lvl:5}],HideFlags:1} 1

and have been trying to modify this repeating command to work with the item:

/execute if entity @a[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:bow",tag:{display:{Name:"{\"text\":\"Test bow\",\"italic\":\"false\",\"color\":\"light_purple\",\"bold\":\"true\"}"}}}}] run effect give @p minecraft:slow_falling 1 3 true

Does anyone have any idea how I get this to function?

Where, in the ruleset files, is defined whether a trade route can be established here?

Posted: 01 Oct 2021 12:53 AM PDT

For example, in the "classic" game.ruleset, I see

[actionenabler_traderoute]      action = "Establish Trade Route"      actor_reqs    =          { "type",   "name", "range", "present"            "UnitFlag", "TradeRoute", "Local", TRUE          }

which, as far as I understands, tells us that the unit must have the TradeRoute flag in units.ruleset.

Where do we see that, for example, the destination city must be "far enough" or, in the case of the Augmented2 modpack, "foreign and not at war" ?

I would suppose something in effects.ruleset, but I haven't found what.

Intense lagging while playing games (Space Engine)

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:59 AM PDT

I have played SpaceEngine (NOT Space-Engineers) on my laptop for almost a year now without any problems. However the game has started experiencing a lot of lag for the last one month. I opened up task manager to try and figure out what was causing the lag. This is what I saw.

enter image description here

The GPU was being used at 100%. This is very strange because the game usually (when it was not lagging) uses only 70% of its GPU while simulating space (because that is less graphics intensive) and about 90% GPU while simulating planetary terrain (because that is more graphics intensive). However now its using the whole 100% for space itself which causes it to lag on planets because it cannot use more than 100% graphics.

I don't understand why it is doing this. Why is the game using the entire graphics card when it can make do with less? How can I fix this and prevent lag?

The stats of my PC are as follows: OS: Windows 10 Processor: intel core i7-10750 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 VRAM: 128 MB

What carries over from a Chapter 1 save file into Chapter 2?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 12:05 PM PDT

In the menu for Deltarune Chapter 2, there's an option to import a save file from Chapter 1. Unfortunately, I no longer have my Chapter 1 save.

What changes occur in Chapter 2 if you have a save file from Chapter 1?

Are long roads worth it over trains?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:47 AM PDT

I have a bunch of towns. All of them currently have buses. A few have some trams as well. They are in a somewhat large area. Does it make sense to have buses run on roads between the towns rather than trains?

(I'm using Open GFX+ for both trains & road vehicles.)

I can not get in the castle to lead Serena home

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 03:00 PM PDT

I have successfully gotten through the gate with a glitch, but when I press the button to open the door, nothing happens and I am stuck on the other side of the gate till I eventually load my last quick save. I cannot go back to before I met her, as I do not makes saves through the game and would be going back to the beginning. I just want Serena to stop following me. I can't even trade things with her or tell her to wait somewhere.

Can the SSV Normandy SR-1 frigate get damaged in any way?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 02:33 PM PDT

When compared to other available frigates in the game, the SSV Normandy SR-1 lacks a landing pad, meaning that the player can't board it like the regular support / explorer / combat / trade / industrial models.

In game screenshot of the Normandy

The Normandy seems to also lack a captain - when the player debriefs the SR-1 during an expedition, there is no captain hologram (probably because it wouldn't make sense for the SR-1 to have a Gek / Korvax / Vy'keen crew) and the only feedback seems to come from an A.I. voice.

Regular frigates can be damaged during missions. In that case the player is usually contacted on their starship communicator. Afterward, manual maintenance has to be performed, and this requires the player to land on the frigate and do the required repairs.

The fact that the player can't land on the Normandy seems to indicate that the player wouldn't be able to perform any repair operation should it get damaged. The game doesn't mentions this directly at anytime, but does this mean that the SSV Normandy SR-1 has the hidden perk of being unable to get damaged at all?

NOTICE: Erik pointed out in the comments that the "Times damaged" stats reports "1" in the screen. While it is true that the stat does indeed increase any time a frigate is repaired, frigates seem to start with random numbers on that stat (as in, the initial value is also procedurally generated). The Normandy specifically starts with "1", so the screen doesn't seem to indicate it was repaired "in game". More probably, the "one time damaged" stat is a somehow hidden reference to the fact that the original SR1 should be crashed. At least... in Mass Effect.

Does Attack Up on Bow also affect the sword?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:48 AM PDT

If I have a bow that has Attack Up + 6 equipped, does this mean that when I use my sword, the sword also gets the attack up benefit?

Does it affect all other attacks I may do?

Are DPI control buttons considered cheating for e-sports tournaments?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 12:04 PM PDT

I've been using the ROG Gladius II. gaming mouse for quite a while, which has a thumb mouse button on the bottom left side. When held, this reduces the dpi to 400, and when released, changes it back to 1200.

I've been using this feature all the time while playing CS:GO (casually), as it makes it really easy for me to aim & snipe with precision. But I've recently read about someone getting banned on DOTA for using programmable buttons.

So, are DPI control buttons disallowed in pro-level or e-sport competitions? Is it considered to be cheating to be using this button?

What can I legally do to criminals?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 02:56 PM PDT

I've been unable to find any kind of list of what crimes you can commit to become a Criminal in Crusader Kings 3 and more importantly, what the Possible Punishments are.
This would be super helpful to know BEFORE I expose someone's secret, only to discover that the crime I exposed does not allow me to legally punish them the way I would like.

The in-game encyclopedia does point out that there are two types of crimes, Secular and Religious, and explains who may punish someone for each, but it does not have a list of crimes or punishments.

I understand that Religious crimes will be heavily dependent on what the doctrines of your religion are, but I assume that two religions with the same Crime Doctrine have consistent acceptable punishments? That Catholicism and Ash'arism both punish Witchcraft the same way?

One would assume that Secular crimes would be consistent across all factions and religions? Things like Murder, a Vassal Revolting, etc.

I am making a lot of assumptions, and don't see a way other than just playing crazy amounts of CK3 and writing stuff down.

Has anyone found/made a list of the Crimes and Punishments in CK3?

What are the strongest combinations of Pantheon Spirits for AFK?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:48 AM PDT

In Cookie Clicker, there is a Pantheon that lets you slot Spirits to get bonuses. I would like to know which Spirits are best for an AFK/low attention build and where they should be slotted.

Right now, I have Mokalsium (milk power up) in Diamond, Skruuia (wrinkler power up) in Ruby, and Holobore (base CPS up) in Jade. I assume these three are the best for AFK builds, but I do not know if their slotting is as optimal as it could be, which is what led me to asking this question.

As for my run, I am currently in what I assume to be the end game. I have 377/439 for achievements and my current CPS (without wrinklers) is 221.526 undecillion.

Civ 5 - told I lack iron but have an iron mine?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 01:00 PM PDT

I'm used to playing earlier versions of Civ. Playing Civ 5 and despite having an active iron mine, which is connected to my cities/trade network by roads, I'm told that I can't build any unit which requires iron, although I do already have one legion. Do you literally have to have an iron mine for EVERY SINGLE unit which requires iron?

Gamilat stands under the platform?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:40 AM PDT

In the "Hidden Ones" DLC for Assassin's Creed: Origins, during the "Setting Sun" quest, an NPC (Gamilat) and I are trying to escape a pyramid. After finishing a platform puzzle and making it through a corridor filled with snakes, we ended up in another platform puzzle room.

When we entered, Bayek says tells Gamilat to stand on the platform and he will raise it up. Gamilat agrees and moves to the platform ... but since the platform is already suspended, he crouches underneath it. As a result, I can't lower the platform so that he can step on it. (When I tried, it just lowered on top of him; he didn't take the hint to move.)

I can't figure out how to get Gamilat to move out from under the platform. Is this possible or do I need to reload the quest from the last checkpoint?

Why is my Xbox 360 not connecting to controller and showing up on my TV?

Posted: 01 Oct 2021 12:02 AM PDT

I connected my Xbox 360 after 6 months and connected it to the LED, but it was not showing up on either HDMI 1 or HDMI 2. The remote is also not connecting (through wireless), which shows on Xbox but rather it keeps flashing. I have changed the HDMI cables too.

Is there story continuity between various Need For Speed games?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:39 AM PDT

Is there a connection between these games? (NFS MW 2005, Carbon, Undercover, Payback, Heat)

I am confused, after I finished NFS MW2005, the BMW lost again. And I think the lady officer in MW 2005 is also in Undercover.

Another confusing question is BMW M3 GTR also in Payback and Heat.

What are the links between those games?
I have searched using Google, but did not get any satisfying information about this.

How can I filter out or remove achievement screenshots?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 11:57 AM PDT

PS4 takes a screenshot for every achievement I get. Because of that my Capture Gallery is cluttered with these useless screenshots (some of them are memorable black screens).

How can I see only screenshots that I took? Is it possible to filter our or drop all achievement screenshots?

Is it possible for a pokemon to have more than 2 moves? If not can it have 2 special move?

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 12:25 PM PDT

I'm still on a low-mid Trainer Level (lvl 20), have been reading a lot of posts lately, one is about the move sets. I usually read, people say that moves can be learnt on certain factors like when evolving them. I have these max evolve and wonder, is it possible for a pokemon to have more than 2 moves? If not can it have 2 special moves?

Steam download resetting to 0GB progress after restart

Posted: 30 Sep 2021 04:34 PM PDT

I started downloading a game. It reached 9GB out of 12GB total. I paused the download and shutdown my computer to go outside, but when I logged back in again in Steam, the game's download reset to 0GB complete. How can I continue the 9GB finished download?
