What's different about the first run?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 02:43 PM PST

What's different about the first run? Or is that too large a question?

I'm wondering what the best one would be, in terms of Meta Progression... It seems like Nectar and Gemstones don't appear as Chamber Rewards on the first run? Or is it just not rewards in Tartarus?

Or have I just been astoundingly unlucky, having my only source of just 1 Nectar be Dionysus?

If so, when or where does it start appearing?

...

Then there's Boons, with only Athena, Artemis, Ares, and Dionysus seeming to be available for the first run?

I assume there's further differences as well, given what I've read on the Wiki?

Downloading Minecraft (Java Edition) on Windows 11

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 02:40 PM PST

I have tried downloading Minecraft Java Edition on my Windows 11 computer for a bit and it keeps saying "Looks like something went wrong" and bellow that says "We weren't able to install the app (0x80070057)". What should I do? Is there a certain version I need to download?

Do I have to buy Minecraft from Microsoft Store all over again?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 02:11 PM PST

So, I recently just got a new gaming computer but I realized that when I tried to install Minecraft on the new one, it had asked me for money again. Is there any way to transfer the bought Minecraft onto my current pc?

Why did Nintendo sit on the finished masterpiece SMB3 for 3 years before releasing globally?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 12:40 PM PST

Today I casually googled Super Mario Bros. 3... and something struck me as odd:

Nintendo had this finished game that was one of their best works, and yet they hesitated to release it in other countries. It was almost 3 years before all regions of the world got access to this game. That sort of release timing is unheard of in today's gaming climate. I understand there were some changes made, such as a lowering of difficulty to a more reasonable level. (In the US release, when Raccoon Mario is hit, he reverts to big Mario, instead of going all the way back to small Mario, as in the original Japanese release... etc.) But aside from small code changes like that, what was Nintendo doing, sitting on this golden title for so long? Please help me understand the logic behind the withholding.

What are the requirements for the green/gold crates to respawn in the game world?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 10:16 AM PST

My understanding is that the damaged green/gold crates occasionally respawn in the game world and that there is a low chance of them being gold instead of green. However, what defines when this happens? Is it related to how far away you are from a certain area or is it perhaps time-based?

Where is the code in HOI4 that defines how an AI decides on events (e.g. "Split Czechoslovakia")?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:54 AM PST

I cannot find the code, that defines how an AI decides on an event that is triggered by another countries focus. In particular I cannot find how Germany decides whether or not to "Split Czechoslovakia", after Romania finished this focus?

In the file "Hearts of Iron IV/common/national_focus/romania.txt" I found the following code:

focus = {      id = ROM_split_czechoslovakia        [... some other code ...]        completion_reward = {          GER = { country_event = DOD_romania.110 }      }  }

But I could not find where "DOD_romania.110" is defined. Can anybody help me out?

I ran several different games and Germany always denied the Split - even if I Increased Relations to 100. This is really annoying because shortly afterwards Germany will Demand Sudentenland and in non-historic might have to attack Czechoslovakia - and now I am asked to honor my Guarantee of Czechoslovakia to fight Germany and Italy in 1938 with Czechoslovakia as my only ally and being the only major on my side (good luck). So I would really like to know how the AI decides this.

Defeated elite four, but somehow missed Blue’s mega stones. Can they still be gotten?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:26 AM PST

My son has defeated the elite four, but for some reason doesn't have Blue's mega stones. Can he still get them?

Also, what could he possible have done that would result in not getting Blue's mega stones? Can you refuse them when they are offered to you? Could he have sold them?

Can you determine where a pillager captain spawns in a pillager outpost?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:05 AM PST

AFAIK they spawn on the top level of a pillager outpost all the time (not 100% sure). But is there maybe a single spot where he "respawns"? This doesn't seem to be tackled in any of the wikis.

Why do I either lag or keep walking or jumping after my finger's off the key in Minecraft?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 05:04 AM PST

Why do I either lag or keep walking or jumping after my finger's off the key in Minecraft? When I click W to walk or SPACE to jump most of the time it won't walk for a second, then keep walking or jumping after my finger is off of the key. I've had this issue for a month or two and I can't figure out what's wrong. When I connect a Bluetooth Xbox controller it works fine, but it's a hassle to use all of the time. And I don't always have access to one.

Error: Objectives cannot be longer than 16 characters

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 04:57 AM PST

I make use of scoreboards to keep track of variables. However, this error popped up on the console when I tried reloading my datapack:

Failed to load function terraria:wands/rod_of_discord/use  java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Whilst parsing command on line 5:  Objective names cannot be longer than 16 characters  
Failed to load function terraria:load  java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Whilst parsing command on line 3:  Objective names cannot be longer than 16 characters

This is my corresponding code:

# terraria:load  # Reset scoreboards  scoreboard objectives remove click  scoreboard objectives remove rod_cd    # Create scoreboards  scoreboard objectives add click minecraft.used:minecraft.carrot_on_a_stick  scoreboard objectives add rod_cd dummy    # Debug  execute as ShadeOfLight run say Terraria datapack startup finished.  
# terraria:wands/rod_of_discord/use  # Effect  execute as @a[scores={click=1..,rod_cd=0},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"carrot_on_a_stick",Count:1b,nbt:{Item:rod_of_discord}}}] at @a[scores={click=1..,rod_cd=0},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"carrot_on_a_stick",nbt:{Item:rod_of_discord}}}] run spreadplayers ~ ~ 0 100 false @p    # Cooldown  execute as @a[scores={click=1..,rod_cd=0},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"carrot_on_a_stick",Count:1b,nbt:{Item:rod_of_discord}}}] run scoreboard players set @p rod_cd 1000    # Reset scoreboard  execute as @a[scores={click=1..}] run scoreboard players set @p click 0

I used no objective names longer than 16 characters, at least to my knowledge. I tried commenting out everything in terraria:wands/rod_of_discord/use, but to no avail. Any idea how to fix this?

How are enemies placed in Final Fantasy Legend III?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 03:39 AM PST

I've been playing Final Fantasy Legend III for the gameboy recently. I'm trying to work out how the game chooses the levels of the enemies it places.

In general the enemies come in different 'classes'. Each class has a different graphic, so for example there's one that looks like a starfish, and it can have many different names, including 'Starfish' and 'Pentagon'. As far as I can see, Pentagon is a higher level version of Starfish.

So, now imagine I go into a dungeon. It seems to me that each dungeon can select between a certain set of classes, for example maybe it'll have dragons and fireballs but no witches. What I can't work out is, will the game always place the same level enemy of this type in each dungeon? Or do the enemy levels increase as my character's levels increase?

I'm also confused about the overworld enemies; they definitely keep getting stronger but I can't work out if they get stronger as I do, or in response to game events. Then it's difficult to know whether it's worth leveling up a little to make a certain dungeon easier, or whether leveling won't help and I need to try a different tactic.

Rocket League crashing as soon as I launch it

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 02:55 AM PST

I wanted to play Rocket League with my friends but everytime i try to launch it the game just crashes. I don't even make it to the title screen. I have all of the latest nVidia Game Ready drivers and have tried all of the steps on the Psyonix Support page. For further information, I'm on Epic Games and using an Acer Nitro AN515-51 with specs like this:

Intel Core i5 7300HQ 8GB DDR4 RAM nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Intel 256GB M.2 SSD

Update: Checked the Event Viewer and figured out that Rocket League complains about KERNELBASE.dll

Can you duplicate someone else's Minehut Minecraft server?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 04:48 AM PST

My friend and I have been playing on my other friend's minecraft server for quite a while. We have a really pretty house that we're proud of and netherite gear. The server has gotten super toxic recently and we won't stop getting harassed. The only reason we haven't quit is because we've made so much progress that we don't want to lose. We thought maybe we could create a duplicate of the minecraft server that we can play on and we can invite nicer people to play with us.

Is there any way to duplicate my friend's minecraft server? The server is a minehut server.

I can't join a Minecraft server running on the same machine

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 12:44 PM PST

I run a Minecraft 1.17.1 server on the same machine but when I try to connect to it I can't, while everyone else can join it. I'm connecting to localhost:"port". When the server was still in 1.16.5 it worked just fine. I have my firewall disabled.

This is the error that I get when I try to join.

enter image description here

I think it is some kind of client issue because when I try to use 1.17 to connect to the server (that is in 1.16) I get the same error, not the outdated one.

How do Pillager Patrols Spawn?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 11:53 AM PST

I find raids really fun, and I want to be able to start one. I think that the easiest way to do it is by finding a pillager patrol. How exactly can they spawn? I have only found them twice and only when I have been playing in single player. (My friend sometimes plays on the world with me). I am on a decent-sized island, next to a mushroom biome. What are the spawn conditions of a pillager patrol?

COD Warzone crashes to desktop (CTD) with no message 5-10 min in game. Any new solution or upcoming fix?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 05:03 AM PST

New MSI GS66 PC with 10th gen i7, latest GTX 2070 with 8GB VRAM, all windows & nvidia updates made. The game is up to date.

Approx 10 min in game, it crashes to desktop with no error message. Has this not been fixed yet? I tried like 2 months ago, had this problem and didn't play since hoping an update will fix it. Now it still crashes.

Tried suggestions that I found here and there that are 3-4 months old but to no avail (such as this: https://www.reddit.com/r/CODWarzone/comments/fm8rfe/my_cod_warzone_keeps_crashing/).

Anyone have a more recent solution to the problem or do you know if an update is on the way to fix this?

Copied worlds don't show up in Minecraft Pocket Edition

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 12:44 PM PST

I cleared Minecraft PE's data and my worlds disappeared from the Minecraft worlds list. Before doing this, I copied my worlds files from /games/com.mojang/minecraftworlds. After clearing data, I tried to move the files of the two worlds back to the "Minecraft worlds" from "games", but when I entered Minecraft Pocket Edition, the worlds didn't appear. What can I do?

I screenshotted some photos in Minecraft and I can't find them. I play Minecraft on a Technic Launcher and I have a Mac.

SMAC: Should I initiate flooding?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 04:05 AM PST

I have gotten into a rut:

  • play university
  • race up the tech tree
  • build one thermal borehole per city
  • when available, have hundreds of clean reactor formers, to raise land levels in preparation for the inevitable flooding
  • build all the wonders
  • wait for graviton, then go for conquest victory
  • just about this time, mindworms become a major problem, requiring a massive army of hovertanks (and helicopters, as with multiple attacks)
  • and global sea levels being to rise
  • at which point I generally vote in council to launch a solar shade to cause sea levels to fall, evening things out

I have, in the past, tried changing to green and building as many green buildings as I can. I even removed my thermal boreholes as soon as I have 20 or so nessus mining stations. But I just can't seem to stop the midworms, which drain huge resources to counter.

Now, I am thinking that just letting the world flood because manufacturing, even voting for it, might not be a bad idea.

  • I haven't seen ocean bases attacked by aliens, so I could devote the resources such as formers, hovertanks and helicopters, which are several hundred units on a huge map, to producing gravitons and wiping out the other factions
  • I get all of my food/money/manufacturing needs from satellites
  • I also have every base with a quantum converter (from a wonder), nessus mining stations, genejack factories (since drones never riot), etc, I can heavily out-manufacture the other factions, even if my land-based cities suddenly become ocean-based

Question: Considering this strategy, should I be trying to deliberately flood the planet? Are there any technical, game-play reasons for doing this or not (as opposed to opinion based)?

Maximizing Runespan gains?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 11:08 AM PST

There is quite some data around on what runes are best to siphon from what islands in the runespan for xp/hour depending on runecrafting level, but I am failing to find to find similar information for maximising runespan points - and I doubt it is the same!

Reason is I want to move up the title track asap.

Is there any way to exit from the RS3 client in just 1 click?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 10:07 AM PST

Is there any way to be able to exit the Runescape 3 client while logged on in just 1 click? I cannot seem to find an answer on Google, Reddit, or this site.

Currently, when I try to exit the client either by logging out, or even if I hit the X button in the top-right corner or if I alt+F4, it still asks me for confirmation if I'm sure I want to close the game. I would like to be able to immediately close the game by exiting the client without it asking for confirmation. Does anyone know of a way to bypass/turn off this feature of the client?

EDIT: alternatively, is there a way to make a preference for going to lobby vs. logging out using the "door" logout button so I can perform either action in a single click?

ArmorDropChances Data Tag below 0.1?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 01:06 AM PST

Im messing around with armor drop chances for a map im creating and I have yet to find out any information on the web explaining this: Does the minecraft binary recognize a value for armordropchances below 0.1f? I have enemies that are dropping armour and it is dropping way too often considering the drop chances are 0.001f (I know its about 1/1000) but it feels like every fifth enemy is dropping the item. Maybe I just have insane luck, but something isn't working here. (I don't think it matters what items are dropping just that the items are dropping seemingly too fast) heres the section of my command if you wanted to know the drop rates.

ArmorDropChances:[0.004F,0.2F,0.001F,0.2F]

EDIT: I think I know what's going on, the items that I have like a 20% drop rate on what is supposed to be a common drop. But after changing the drop rate of what is supposedly the helmet to 0.004 I found the common drop never dropped anymore and the armour was dropping just as much

Autoexec and host_writeconfig

Posted: 03 Dec 2021 11:06 PM PST

Ok, so I have two questions.

Question 1

I am trying to create an autoexec. But the problem is, it isn't running the settings that change any commands.

I don't think the problem is the autoexec not executing, because it runs the echo commands that I have in it. The problem is that I have lines such as "voice_enable 0" (without the " "), but they don't run. If I enable voice and then restart the game, it's still enabled when the game loads up again.

I know the game is reading the line, because if I put " " either side of the command in the autoexec, it says it's an unknown command. I tried setting m_raw to 0 and restarting the game, to see if it was just that command, but that also stayed off despite m_raw 1 being in the autoexec.

My .cfg file is in steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg, as I'm the only user and steam account on the PC. I saw some posts saying that it changed to userdata\userID\703 or something similar, but that doesn't work for me and I'm guessing that's for if you have multiple steam accounts in use.

Another point is that if I start the game and then force autoexec to run again by typing exec autoexec, the echo commands run as usual, but then so do the other commands like m_raw etc.

So my question is: Why are the commands not running, and how can I fix it?

Question 2

If i understand correctly, "host_writeconfig FileName" should create a .cfg file with all my current settings in it. But when I run the command, it's not creating the file. I've looked in the same place as my autoexec, which I think is where it's supposed to be, but it's not there.

So where is it?

Why do I get everything after the first run in Jetpack Joyride?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 10:48 AM PST

After my first run, I was looking around in the shop, and suddenly, I got every gadget, jetpack, all the clothes, etc. When I re-installed the game, the same thing happens.

Freelook using Xbox 360 Controller on PC?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 01:57 PM PST

I've been configuring my Xbox 360 controller to use for flying jets in BF3 for PC, and it works great except for one shortcoming. I bound the buttons to be the same as the 360 controls (Down on the dpad to enter freelook, right stick to move around), but the looking motion is very slow. Is there a way to set up freelook to move at a useful rate using this setup?

Here's a video of me trying to freelook with the right thumbstick pushed as far as it will go:

Easter Eggs/Hints in “Jewels of the Oracle”

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 10:35 AM PST

In Jewels of the Oracle (the first one), there is a file on the CD named JEWLHINT.MVB. I cannot figure out what it is used for because there do not seem to be a hint function for the game. There is a part in the file that mentions has the words MVBMP2 and Viewer in close proximity, but if that was a thing, it is long gone now and only useless sites mentioning a DLL can be found anymore.

Further, in the file there is also a list of room names and one of them mentions both Hall of Order and Succession and Hall of Order and Succession: "Easter Egg". I can't find anything special about that room (with the sliding number-puzzle).

Does anybody know what the file is for or how to use it. Does anybody know what the easter egg is?

Catalog Heaven glitch?

Posted: 04 Dec 2021 12:42 PM PST

In Catalog Heaven, when you get a Gravo gun and shoot it, you get a dropped gear. If you then pick it up, you die. Does anyone know why this happens?
