Where are save files located for Watch Dogs in my Windows PC?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 02:41 AM PDT

I was looking to transfer my saved progress of Watch Dogs to a new Windows PC from my old PC. Where are the Save files located?

I have tried these locations: Program Files/Ubisoft Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft Program Data/Steam

but the files were not present.

How many creatures and variants are in Ark Survival Evolved?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 09:05 PM PDT

How many creatures are in Ark Survival Evolved? I want to create a museum of sorts with one of each type of taxidermy. And I want to get started by crafting an SS Large taxidermy base for the dermises. A quick google search reveals that there are 176 creatures in Ark but fails to specify if that is literally all the creatures or just what can be tamed. I do not care if it is tameable or not. So long as I can collect its dermis is all that matters. I am asking for the sum total of all creatures in Ark. I.e. base game, expansions, corrupteds, mechanical, x variants, r variants, alphas, guardians, bosses, etc.

Bad Omen Datapack Issue

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 09:17 PM PDT

So I cant seem to figure out how to test if the player has started a raid with commands.

I'm trying to make it so the bad omen STATUS is not removed by milk as any other potion effect would be. So I am able to test for the effect:

scoreboard objectives add BadOmen dummy

execute as @a[nbt={ActiveEffects:[{Id:31b}]}] run scoreboard players set @s BadOmen 1

Through scoreboards I plan to reapply it using:

execute at @a[scores={BadOmen=1}] run effect give @s minecraft:bad_omen 999999 1

But there are two issues. First, I realized I don't know how to end it. I would like to end it only when a raid is triggered, but if I just reapply it whenever the player no longer has it, that would persist even after the player triggers a raid. Also I would like to reapply the same level of bad omen. I would also like to do this with Hero of the villager but I assume I can reuse the commands.

Am I required to pull off crazy Golden Cookie combos?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 03:04 AM PDT

I am currently at the point in the game where my CPS is at the Quattuordecillion range. Purchasing upgrades and buying buildings to unlock achievements and increase my CPS require me to have many more cookies than my CPS gives me, usually requiring amounts in the Sexdecillion and Septendecillion range. My CPS, at the current rate, will take years to get me enough cookies.

Aside from making insane Golden Cookie combinations (such as combining a 7x CPS Frenzy, a Building Related Boost, a 777x Click Power Frenzy, and selling thousands of buildings for a huge Gadzamok Buff), I can never make an amount of cookies that gets me anywhere.

Is there anything else I can do at this point in the game to make reasonably paced progress besides fishing for insane Golden Cookie combinations? I want to put less active time into the game but I want to keep my pace for unlocking achievements.

Does Steam show Away/Snooze when I'm browsing the internet?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 03:26 PM PDT

I've noticed that Steam sets Away for some friends and then goes to Snooze while I play games. Does that mean they have the app running and are on their computers for 10 minutes+? Or does it mean they aren't on their computer at all? I usually quit the entire app but I want to know what it means. There's a similar question on here but it doesn't quite answer my question.

Do you need to know Gatling Laser plan before getting the Ultracite version?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 02:38 PM PDT

I've been trying to get the plan for the Ultracite Gatling Laser for weeks now: I've been killing the Scorchebeast Queen, doing random events in the Cranberry Bog - no luck. I have tons of various plans for Ultracite mods, but not a plan how to make the UTGL.

But then I've noticed on the Fallout Wiki, that the regular Gatling Laser (that you can learn from Modus) has an option to put a Prime Receiver, which will deal extra damage to Scorched, like all Ultracite weapons.

So I am confused here: do you need to know the plan for regular Gatling Laser before you can get the plan for the Ultracite version? Or is the UTC version a regular laser with a different receiver?

I need help with a command block /execute command

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 11:13 AM PDT

I need help figuring out what this command is supposed to be written with the new execute command syntax in Minecraft 1.17.1. I presume the code is supposed to set a player's spawnpoint randomly to positions having an armor stand with the tag 'Spawn' every time the player's dead, but I really need help figuring out the syntax.

/execute @r[type=Armor Stand,tag=Spawn] ~ ~ ~ /spawnpoint @r ~ ~ ~  

How to create a random spawnpoint off entities in Minecrat 1.17.1?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 07:30 PM PDT

I have been trying to create random spawn points on my Minecraft server, for instance, if a player die, the player would respawn at designated spots on the server, where I have dropped some tagged objects. But I don't seem to be getting the code right because I have tried some execute commands with a command block set to repeat, unconditional and redstone enabled.

Code 1:

execute as @a at @e[tag=Spawn] run spawnpoint @r ~ ~ ~  

Code 2:

 execute at @e[tag=Spawn] run spawnpoint @r ~ ~ ~  

Any help would be appreciated!

New to Minecraft, keep spawning in a dark cave, how do I get out?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 02:24 AM PDT

I haven't ever played Minecraft before, but my daughter wants to play (because of course her friends have it). I setup a Minecraft server using nukkit on a Raspberry Pi 3, and then downloaded the Minecraft iOS app.

I initially launched with the default world but then kept spawning -- and drowning -- in water. I downloaded the "Summer Secrets" map to the server and join that, now I don't drown but...

I keep spawning in what appears to be a very dark cave. I tried /suicide but it ended up right back in the same spot. I ran around hand-chopping at the walls but can't seem to find a way out of this and it is extremely hard to see.

Is it possible to filter items by Category in a custom item filter?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 01:45 AM PDT

The item class page on the official wiki lists all classes with the Item Class name, the Internal ID, but also a Category.

Now using the Category in the item filter rules would be super convenient for me at the moment, but is it even possible? Or is it really necessary to manually list all classes in the said category to achieve the same goal?

What is the fastest way to transport large amounts of block a large distance without hoppers?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 12:28 PM PDT

I am on a Minecraft Java server that supports bedrock which I am playing on. I would like to connect some of my farms (crop farms, cobblestone farm, melon and pumpkin farms and several others) - to the main market area of the server around 7500 blocks away. I would have use hoppers but hopper are extremely expensive and only available at spawn and a limited amount of them. What would be the best way to transport the items without them despawning with a small amount of hoppers. 'Best' being least hoppers, cheapest resource wise, fastest and can transport a lot of items without any of them despawning.

Edit:

I don't have any shulkerboxes but could potential get some, I was thinking maybe minecart but I don't know what happens if they enter a unloaded chunk or water flow but that would despawn. Like an alternative to hoppers. The farms will also be creating more items to transport constantly so a way to transport the items without travelling long distances through any method (even through ender pearl stasis chamber) as I will have to do this repetitively when stock is depleted. I don't mind travelling that distance every now and again to load the chunk that the items will be travelling across as it does not require shulkerboxes which are hard to come by on the server.

How to find Command Blocks in the world? (1.12)

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 01:08 PM PDT

I've tried using WorldEdit, server logs/console, and even NBTExplorer to try and find a bunch of command blocks likely far far away that are constantly spamming commands on my server. Is there some kind of way/plugin that I can use to locate their coordinates?

The world is in the form of a map that I've downloaded so I've never been near them and there was no player data or anything that I could use to find them.

Merging two Minecraft map's chunks, one with builds and another just the terrain

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 01:04 AM PDT

I made a Minecraft map in worldpainter, exported it and got it on a server, then we built some mines in a small part of the map. However, we found that some parts of the map probably got corrupted and there were a lot of empty chunks.

I still have the unbuilt version of map and want to just add the missing chunks back to the map with builds, and MCEdit is giving me a lot of errors.

Is there any other way of doing it?

this is how the missing chunk map look

How do I determine whether my pokemon scales with physical or special damage?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 01:10 AM PDT

How do I determine whether my pokemon scales with physical or special damage?

It seems like neither type, range/melee, roles, nor colour on moves indicates the scaling of each pokemon's attack.

I have done some testing individually, but I see no pattern nor information that the game provides in an accessible spot - am I missing something?

Problems with setting up my minecraft server via external IP

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 12:50 PM PDT

I tried various of things already, I wanted to make my server using my internet, but I couldn't get my friend to join it. I gave him my external IP and with or without putting port at the end worked. In theory the ports are forwarded, I tried multiple combinations and nothing worked.

This is my server.properties config:

#Minecraft server properties  #Fri Jul 16 16:02:05 CEST 2021  spawn-protection=10  max-tick-time=60000  query.port=25565  generator-settings=  sync-chunk-writes=true  force-gamemode=false  allow-nether=true  enforce-whitelist=false  gamemode=survival  broadcast-console-to-ops=true  enable-query=false  player-idle-timeout=0  text-filtering-config=  difficulty=normal  spawn-monsters=true  broadcast-rcon-to-ops=true  op-permission-level=4  pvp=true  entity-broadcast-range-percentage=100  snooper-enabled=true  level-type=default  hardcore=false  enable-status=true  enable-command-block=true  max-players=10  network-compression-threshold=256  resource-pack-sha1=  max-world-size=29999984  function-permission-level=2  rcon.port=25575  server-port=25565  server-ip=  spawn-npcs=true  allow-flight=false  level-name=world  view-distance=10  resource-pack=  spawn-animals=true  white-list=false  rcon.password=  generate-structures=true  max-build-height=256  online-mode=false  level-seed=  use-native-transport=true  prevent-proxy-connections=false  enable-jmx-monitoring=false  enable-rcon=false  rate-limit=0  motd=I'm just a meeeeemmmeeeeer and I meemmmeeee my life.....awaayyyy....awaaay  

If there is something more you'll need from me, ask in the comment, but i will be skeptical about showing my IP, because I don't want DoS threats out of curiosity.

Is there a command line switch to specify the video resolution for DirectQ (a Quake 1 source port)

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 02:03 AM PDT

I have tried directq.exe -width x -height y which works with some other source ports but not this one. At startup it always defaults to 800x600.

Does anyone know if there is a command line option that works with DirectQ?

Can I add an enchanted apple cooldown?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 04:10 PM PDT

Is there a way to add a cooldown for eating enchanted apples? I don't want the player to be able to eat a lot at once in my PVP game.

Can I get custom Minecraft skins on Xbox using a hard drive?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 12:10 AM PDT

So, I want my own Minecraft custom skin. I am on Minecraft Bedrock Edition btw. If I download a skin from a website such as, https://www.planetminecraft.com/ and add it to my hard drive, will I be able to add it to add it to my Xbox and add it to Minecraft? Im not sure if there is a specific folder I have to add the skin into for it to work. If there is, please let me know.

In Minecraft bedrock can I create a function block that only executes another function once?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 08:55 PM PDT

In minecraft bedrock Im trying to execute a function if it has not yet been executed to initialize a build battle map. There is a command block with a button and the command it executes is "/function buildBattle". When I push the button the first time it should call the initialize function. If I push it again it should not.

buildBattle.mcfunction

#assume activeGame is not null for any user and is set to 0 somewhere else  execute @p[scores={activeGame=0}] ~ ~ ~ function initialize  

initialize.mcfunction

scoreboard players set @a activeGame 1  ...  

My function logic is not exactly correct. If any player joins with an activeGame of 0 and pushes the button it will call the initialize function. Is there some other way to do this?

Roblox packet loss?

Posted: 19 Oct 2021 03:06 AM PDT

Since a couple months ago my roblox ping has been spiking. My ping was normal since the past couple years until now. I tried to get a better internet plan, use ethernet, tried different PCs and I'm still having pink spikes. I don't know whats the cause of the problem. It's like it randomly appeared to mess with me. When I'm on a pserver my ping is normal, but as soon as someone else joins and I start pvping them (or an NPC) the ping starts spiking from 80 to 500-600 then back to 80 after like 3 seconds. I already tried contacting Roblox support and they told me it could be because of my ISP or my ports not being open? I don't know anymore I just need some assistance since I can't play anything on Roblox.

Issue with a Steam version of Morrowind

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 05:11 PM PDT

First time here. I've recently been having issues wherein Steam tells me Morrowind is still running, even when it isn't. I've checked Task Manager and Morrowind doesn't show in the "Processes" tab, I also tried running it from the Morrowind launcher itself as ad admin, and it tells me that InstallShield Engine's iKernal executable's class couldn't be found. Some assistance would be appreciated.

Can Minecraft for Windows 10 create Map Markers?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 08:09 PM PDT

I have read about creating a Map Marker with Bedrock edition v. 1.9.15: create a banner, create a locator map, and point the map at the banner and right-click. But, when I do that, nothing happens. I thought that Windows 10 version was part of Bedrock edition. I go to the Windows Store and it says I have the latest edition.
Anyone know?

Why aren't iron golems spawning in my iron farm?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 11:08 PM PDT

I've had no luck in getting iron golem to spawn in my underground iron farm.

The whole farm is right in the middle of a real village, all the villagers are now on the farm and not at the surface.

My spawning area for the golems is 16x16 and is covered at the top

The space between the doors and the wall has a direct skylight all around.

I have around 10 villagers on each side of the spawning area, and they are level with my doors. They can breed when I feed them.

I am playing the bedrock edition on switch.

Here are some pictures of it:

How do I unlock Helena's knife in Leon and Helena's campaign?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 05:11 PM PDT

A player joined my hosted game in Resident Evil 6 and played as Helena and had a knife for their weapon. In Leon and Helena's campaign, the knife is Leon's default weapon; for Helena it is Hydra.

Where did they get the knife for Helena? How can I unlock it myself? Is there some challenge to accomplish in the game to unlock Helena's knife?

Here is an example of Helena with a knife:

How do you see the progress of your challenges in-game?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 09:07 PM PDT

In Battlefield 1, you can complete challenges to earn medals. However, oftentimes it is incredibly frustrating not knowing how far you are in these challenges. For instance, there is some sort of 'tracking circle' on the left hand side that slowly goes round until it's full - but it doesn't give you a number (e.g. 4/10). If I remember correctly, the number is shown briefly when moving upwards in the challenge.

in-game

More importantly, after a round's finished you can't find this information either. (It says 'kill 10 Scouts...' but not how many you've killed so far.)

After a round

Heck, you can't even see the progress in your Soldier menu!

player stats

Am I missing something to show the current progress of the challenge? A keyboard shortcut? Clicking on a specific item? Sacrificing a goat to the Earthmother? I've tried everything I can think of.

Minecraft nether portal info

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 05:02 PM PDT

I've been playing Minecraft for a little over a year now and I finally got a portal to the Nether. I've been in the Nether for a while, but now I'm lost and trying to find my way back before I starve, so I've pretty much used up my resources.

So my question is: if I break my portal (in the overworld) and then fix and relight it, will the corresponding portal in the Nether spawn in the same spot, or somewhere else?

Is there a way to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" in Minecraft?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 08:57 PM PDT

Is there a way to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" in Minecraft?

I am trying to create this village where players can spawn in, and then set out to explore the world and build and do normal minecraft stuff. I don't want them to destroy this village, so I want them to be in adventure mode when they are in the village and then switch them to survival when they leave, and vice-versa. When they return to the village, they get switched back to adventure mode.

In other words, I want to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" to protect buildings. I am working without mods. I am hoping there is an simple way using command blocks.

Why are there files in my End and Nether regions?

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 12:31 PM PDT

In this world, I haven't visited the End or the Nether yet, so the /DIM and /DIM-1 folders have both been empty.

At some point today, after building a long rail line, I noticed that there is now a 12kb /region/r.1.1.mca in both folders, even though I haven't been to either dimension! The files are missing in my backup from yesterday, so I know they were just created.

This is a single-player map, so that precludes the possibility of another server user having visited and caused chunks to be generated.

Where did they come from? Why is Minecraft generating chunks for dimensions I haven't visited?

Using iPhone as a game controller for Mac for 3d games

Posted: 18 Oct 2021 01:19 PM PDT

I'd like to be able to play Minecraft on my MacBook when there is no room for a mouse (eg on a train). I know that there are apps that let you use an iPhone as a game controller, but they seem aimed at playing classic games on an emulator. Is there an app that can effectively replace the mouse+keyboard combo for controlling a 3D first-person game?
