Portfowarding problems

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:56 AM PST

I am looking for help since I am not sure what I should do as I believe that I have port forwarded correctly. However, I am unsure as the router I am using is a Korean one and everything is in Korean. I have had a few friends of mine try and connect but they get an error saying : No Further Information. Here is a photo of the portforwarding page. Portfowarding page

Help With Streaming GameCube Via SteamLink

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 08:11 PM PST

I'm trying to figure out how to stream GameCube Games on my steam link, and I'm not having much luck.

So far I have tried using LaunchBox, and adding it to steam manually, but once the emulator loads, I cannot control the game with the gamepad.

I've also tried RetroArch for steam, but it does not officially support GC, so I manually added it. It works when I play directly on my computer, but when I try to stream it on steam link, it either doesn't load, or crashes immediately (I cannot tell).

I've also tried using the stand alone RetroArch, and adding it manually to my library, it behaves the same exact way. What's interesting is if I try an emulation officially supported by RetroArch on steam (like SNES for example), it works exactly as you would expect.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stream emulators to my TV? It doesn't have to be steam link, that just seems to be the most reliable device in general for me.

Can you copy the same Animal Crossing island to two different Switches?

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 02:19 AM PST

I have one Switch (Switch-a) that I borrowed and was being used by two kids. I bought two more Switches (Switch-b, Switch-c).

Can you copy the same island to two different switches without limitations, yes/no?

If yes, how? And are there any limitations (like keeping one offline)?

From what I have read/researched, all the documentation indicates that you can move (aka "transfer". i.e. copy then delete the source island) and not copy an island. But I thought maybe there would be a way to copy the island to two Switches maybe via "backup/restore" (probably with weird restrictions somehow, like keeping one Switch offline or something).

Anyway I was just curious. In reality what I will probably do (98% confident) is:

  • transfer the island from Switch-a to Switch-b
  • on Switch-c the kid will get their own "new" island
  • I will transfer their old citizen from Switch-b to Switch-c

I can't figure out how to start up Minecraft Java Edition

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 04:19 PM PST

I downloaded Minecraft Java Edition on my Windows 11 and downloaded the launcher, but I can't open the actual Minecraft. When I open the launcher, it sends me to the "Welcome to Minecraft" screen and when I do press install (I pressed "I have read terms and conditions" before that) it stops on the "Making things awesome" screen.

I bought it off of the actual Minecraft site.

PS4 External drive games not showing up after database rebuild [solved]

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 08:55 PM PST

I heard I should rebuild the database on my PS4, so I did, while my external drive was plugged in. Now, none of the games on that drive are in my games folder. However, if I go to storage -> external drive -> applications, all the games are still on the disk. Is there a way to access the games without manually reinstalling them all?

Edit: so, I unplugged the external drive and rebuilt the database, then plugged it in and waited turned it on. After waiting for quite a while on the home page, my external drive games one by one gradually popped up. I don't know if the second database rebuild was necessary and I just needed to wait, but issue is solved.

How do I get my MCPE files back?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 12:36 PM PST

I play on Minecraft PE and I accidently deleted my game files and now when I go to the games file it says it's empty. What can I do to get these files back?

Check minecraft java scoreboard leaderboards [duplicate]

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:14 AM PST

For various purposes, I need a way to check scoreboard objectives rather than just checking a player's scores. Is there a command I can run that can find the largest score in a scoreboard and who has it? What about the smallest? What about the 8th largest? Is there a way I can get a list of all "players" with a score of 12 in a specific objective?

This functionality feels like it should exist in minecraft; you can display leaderboards on the sidebar, for example, but I can't find a way to access them with commands. Are any of these things possible? If so, how?

Edits for clarity: I need to be able to target offline players, not just a group of online players with various scores. That is, I want to create the same functionality as the sidebar leaderboard but accessible via commands. The sidebar leaderboard displays who has the highest score in an objective, even if it's a dummy player or armorstand or something, but it only lists the top 5. Additionally, and partially related, I want to know of it's possible to create a list of all players, online, offline, or dummy, with a score of 5, or any specific number. Edit 2: The other questions that mine is being marked as a duplicate of target online players. This one wants to be able to get the score of offline players or players that don't even exist. The solutions that exist target @a or @e and systematically check if their scores are higher. @a and @e don't target offline players, however, and can't identify the true highest score the same way a scorebore sidebar leaderboard can.

Can you test for a player with a certain score in a certain area

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 10:46 PM PST

I'm making a dead by daylight map in Minecraft bedrock and I was wondering if there is a way to test if a player in a certain area has a certain score because I made vaulting with "tp @p[scores{alive=1}] ~ ~ ~" so I want to make it so only survivors who have alive 1 can do generators

How can I clear an item with custom name in Minecraft 1.16.5

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 04:20 PM PST

As mentioned in the title, I am looking for a command that will remove the item with the changed name from the player's inventory. I tried using:

/clear @p acacia_boat {{{display:{Name:'{"text":"blabla"}'}} 1

And nothing works. I searched the internet but didn't turn up any results, and I've found no answer anywhere when trying to do this on version 1.16.5.

Is it possible to trade with villagers using some sort of score? (commands)

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 07:03 PM PST

I'm trying to make a system that transfers emeralds to a score to not take up inventory space, and that score can be used to trade. Is this possible? And if so, is it possible to display this score in the XP bar? Thanks

How to check if item exists before giving the player a new one

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 11:00 PM PST

I have tried a few ways and tried many commands but I just don't seem to get it right.

What I'm trying to do :

I have a Minecraft realm with a town center where each player can press a button, which triggers a command block, giving them one pickaxe with a unique identifier (not sure what or how). Would be nice if the pickaxe could be named after the player who pressed the button like "Minecraftuser12312 Pickaxe" but not important,

If they press the button again I need to make sure they do not have the item and if the item is also not just thrown out to pick another one up from the command block.

Any help would be appreciated <3

Things to know :

I am the realm owner and command blocks are enabled in the world.

How do I bind a command to an item?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 11:11 PM PST

I am trying to create a few modified weapons/items in Minecraft, so that when you hit something (left click) with the specific item, it executes a command. I have already found a few answers that make it so that if you use a specific item it executes a command, but that applies for every single one of that item; for example, if a blaze rod gives you strength, every blaze rod in the game will give you strength. Is there a way to do this with only one item?

Teleporting entity through command block teleports entity to command block and stops moving, even with execute as

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 11:07 PM PST

I am using a repeating command block to repeatedly teleport a falling block with a custom tag called "Debris" 0.125 blocks on the negative z axis causes the falling block to teleport to the command block instead and not moving at all:

tp @e[type=falling_block,distance=..200,tag=Debris]

I decided to fix this by forcing the falling block to run the command itself, instead

execute as @e[type=minecraft:falling_block,distance=..200,tag=Debris] run tp @s ~ ~ ~-.125

and I still got the same result of the block being frozen to the command block instead. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I summoned a block with a custom tag called "Debris", then used a repeating command block to force the block to run the command itself, but it ends up acting like the repeating command block is running the teleport command instead of the block, which is supposed to be running the command because of the execute as.

How long after leaving a game will a Storage Crate despawn?

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 09:04 AM PST

After our adventures out at sea, my friends and I will pack as much of our supplies as we can into a storage crate, and leave it on the dock of whatever Outpost we end up selling our final haul at. We think we're being nice by doing this, leaving a full stock of supplies to a crew and ship that might spawn at the Outpost... but is there any point to it? Do the Storage Crates despawn at some point? We have no way of sticking around after we leave the game to be sure a crate stays.

Is it possible to combine two Mario Kart Live packs to create longer courses?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 10:25 AM PST

With a Mario Kart Live pack you get four arches and two curve signs.

To play the game multiplayer, each player needs their own Switch console and physical Mario Kart.

When playing with two players, can you use up to eight arches and four curve signs in your course?

I want to add shaders to minecraft for windows 10 but can't access files

How do I make a scoreboard command that detects when a player crouches in multiplayer?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 05:00 PM PST

In Minecraft 1.13/1.14, I start with some commands that work for singleplayer like:

/scoreboard objectives add Sneak minecraft.custom:minecraft.sneak_time  /execute as @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] at (my name) run effect give (my name) minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true  /scoreboard players reset @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] Sneak

I've already tested it on a multiplayer server and it doesn't appear to work. I then tried adding a tag:

/execute as @a[name=(my name),scores={Sneak=1..}] at Dashinglizard run effect give Dashinglizard minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true

and it still didn't work.

I do building, so I'm not very good at commands

What happens when I gift someone a Battle pass who already owns it (fortnite BR)?

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 07:02 AM PST

If I try to gift a Battle Pass to a friend who already has one, will I lose V-Bucks and that person won't receive the Battle Pass or will I even be able to send the gift?

Can't download Minecraft for Windows 10 on new computer

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 07:29 PM PST

I recently got a new computer, and wanted to play with friends through Minecraft for Windows 10, but I can't figure out how to download it. Whenever I go to the game "Minecraft for Windows 10" it says I don't own it; when I go to the game titled as "Minecraft", it says I own it.
But when I click on 'Install on my devices', I get a pop-up saying

It looks like you don't have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. to install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account.

I am signed into my account and i don't know what else to do since the only other button on screen is "buy as gift".

enter image description here

Edit: I forgot to mention that I got the game with a code from when they were giving out codes if you bought Minecraft Java edition.

Mechwarrior (esp. Mercenaries / Vengeance) with Joystick / HOTAS on Win7x64?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 08:05 PM PST

I've spent all day yesterday getting Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries to work on my machine, and, behold! It finally works and runs. But all I can do is stare at the inside of my Mechs' cockpit, as I had to use the gosnoJoystick (and gosnoVideo) command line arguments to even get it to run. Playing with anything but my trusty HOTAS is no fun. =/

Are there any tricks or hacks for getting MW4Mercs.exe to run, without having to use /gosnojoystick, or some way to use my controllers even when running it with /gosnojoystick? I've got Xpadder and a few other things here... all I could think of at this point would be to somehow ghetto this and map my mouse to the stick, and create zones along my throttle to trigger key presses... absolutely no fun...

I've not yet tried to install Vengeance again, so IDK if that one behaves better than Mercs... any ideas...?

Minecraft won't update past 1.5.1

How do you type the '§' symbol (section sign) in Minecraft?

At the moment I'm copying and pasting it but you cant copy and paste in Minecraft. How can I type it on a QWERTY keyboard?

Companions in Novigrad's Arena?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 01:01 PM PST

During the "Finding Whoreson Junior" quest you can fight in the arena.

You have to fight several opponents but after you injure them half-way they yield and ask for mercy (at least few of the first ones), you can accept or just kill them as crowd wants it.

I managed to "save" the first one and he helped me fight in the rest of the fights, but sadly died in the process.

Anyone managed to "save" the second wave as well (brothers from Skellige I think) and keep them alive until the end?

Professor Elm is always asking about Togepi, how can I skip that?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 04:26 PM PST

Prof Elm at the start of the game gave me an egg and it hatched as a Togepi, but I traded it to a friend time ago and now the professor is always asking about it.

Is there any way to skip that conversation via PokéGear? Am I missing something without telling him about the Togepi?

How do I beat the Homestead Innkeeper at Six Men's Morris?

Posted: 27 Nov 2021 09:21 PM PST

I've drained about 500 of my precious in game currency trying to beat the Innkeeper of the Inn in the Homestead area for an achievement. Is there a trick to beating this guy? He is like the Six Men's Morris world champion or something and has already caused me so much rage.

How to get old 16-bit Windows games to work on 64-bit Windows?

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:33 AM PST

Trying to play some old Windows 95 games on Windows 7 64-bit, I'm getting the following error:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

Trying to run the application in compatibility mode has no effect. I'm guessing these games somehow rely on 32-bit dlls which are missing from my system, and I would like to know if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and is able to give insight as to possible solutions or work-arounds.

Notes:

  • I've checked this question but it discusses system requirements and not actual application invocation.
  • The games in questions are Metal Marines and Fire Fight, but I'm sure many more might be affected.
  • The error message above is not game-specific, it comes directly from Windows itself.
