Having issue when playing Smash Ultimate in dock

Posted: 06 Feb 2022 03:38 AM PST

I would be playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate on the dock and during gameplay the TV screen goes like a greyish black color like it disconnected BUT the music is still playing and going to the home page doesn't fix it. Please note this "bug" only happens while playing SSBU as I've tested with other games and this only happens when playing docked (TV mode). The TV screen doesn't show the "no signal" screen saver either and I'm not using a monitor. I'm suspecting an issue with my gamecard maybe.

cannot break blocks, can place, not in adventure mode (JAVA)

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 08:50 PM PST

So, I have gotten Sky factory four, a mod on curseforge. Recently, i have been experiencing problems which are being able to right-click and place blocks, but not break blocks. This had happened to me in EVERY single world, implying I wasnt in adventure mode, while other keybinds still work (keep in mind: I can left-click out of Minecraft but cant left-click inside Minecraft) but I cannot find a comfy keybind because left clicking is like, what i always do in mc to break and i never used other keybinds for that before, so the question is: is there any fix to not being able to break blocks in survival mode (ps. i have gone into survival mode and still haven't been able to break blocks)

flowscape: is there any places to download user created save files?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 03:42 PM PST

I'm trying to see what other people have done with the video game Flowscape (circa ~2019).

Is there any central place to download Flowscape creations that other people have done?

If there is not a central download location, is there a website or place where there are some example save files to download (reddit? official flowscape forum? youtube? steam workshop?).

Strange Xbox one noises

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 03:11 PM PST

I have had my Xbox one for a while now but for the past few months I think, there is this strange noise coming from it sounding sort like a meep I not sure how to explain it, but it does it over and over again I'm not sure if it's the hard drive or something, but I just want confirmation to make sure something isn't wrong

Why were, and are, so many people "baffled" that Link's Awakening for Game Boy is so "big"? [closed]

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 01:36 PM PST

I have read this sentiment both in contemporary reviews and in current-day YouTube comments. It seems wide-spread.

Basically, various people are baffled/amazed by how "such a big game" can possibly fit in the "little 8-bit Game Boy". As if it's somehow a technical marvel.

I absolutely love the game, and am I in fact currently replaying it on my original Game Boy. It's an extremely well made classic, and one of the best games ever created for any platform. No doubt about it. And clearly, it feels way more "epic" than something like Dr. Mario or Alleyway.

However, at the end of the day, on a technical level, we are just talking about a grid system of a pretty small number of different "tiles" that make up the world. Unless I'm lacking some fundamental knowledge, this is not in any way difficult to accomplish technically. The game was released in 1993, but way more "technically advanced" games were made in the following years up until the end of Game Boy's commercial life span. Just take the Donkey Kong Land series, for example. Not better games, but (most likely) much bigger in size/advanced/optimized.

What would make people so impressed by the "size" of this adventure, just because it's on Game Boy? Are they confused about what "big" means? Am I confused about what they mean by "big"? I could easily make a Game Boy game with an unlimited number of game screens of auto-generated, bland content. Would that impress anyone? Probably not. Do they think that every "game screen" is stored on the cartridge in its entirety as a raw, uncompressed BMP image, rather than simply being a two-dimensional array of small integers referring to one of a small set of tiles?

I don't understand why I keep hearing this and similar comments whenever a console is perceived as "not powerful" or even just "older than X years from now". It appears unfathomable to them how somebody could make a Game Boy game that isn't ultra-limited in scope and gameplay features, but where does that delusion come from?

Is there a way to disable fish schools in Minecraft?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 02:47 PM PST

I'm creating an aquarium map in Minecraft, and when I build the tanks and fill them something really bothers me, Minecraft fishes even when of different species (tropical fish) tend to group themselves in schools of fish. I really don't like it since they keep colliding with one another and don't move at all, specially if it's a small tank. Does anyone know a mod/nbt tag, command or another way to solve this problem?

How to make mobs spawn where the player is at random intervals?

Hello I'm trying to make a plugin/mod where mobs(1 - 31) randomly spawn at the players coords, but I'm very new to coding in Minecraft so any help will be appreciated.

Is it possible to put the Uber organs into the shared stash?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 07:18 PM PST

I would like to know, if it is possible to collect the Uber organs (horn, eye and brain) with character-1 (Necro) in order to do Uber-Tristram with character-2 (Pala).

Resources packs are missing from the DLC page in Dead Space 3. How can I spend my ration seals?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 04:55 PM PST

As you know, the game has a mechanism that allows you to earn ration seals. These seals can then be used to buy resources packs from within the game, which give the player with some resources and some "MK-V" parts to upgrade your weapons. The advantage being that the "MK-V" parts, unlike their normal counterparts, have extra stats bonus.

A screenshot depicting the DLC store in the game. The resource packs tab is being selected, with only one product available: "Ultra Weapon and Resource Pack". That back can be bought for €1.99 or 30 ration seals. The description is partly visible, saying: "Even the odds with an Ultra Weapon and Resource Pack. Each pack is guaranteed to contain one MK-V Supercharged weapon part, with a 50% chance at a..."

However, many PC players (both on Steam and off Steam) have experienced problems with the ration seals: they can't spend them.

They're supposed to be purchasable with real money or with ration seals. But for some reasons, for many players, the ration seals don't appear among the list of DLCs anymore.

Is there a way to fix this issue and spend ration seals to purchase resources packs as intended?

How do I get positional and entity data in an execute command in minecraft? [1.17.1]

Posted: 06 Feb 2022 12:02 AM PST

I'm trying to write a command that gives a player a score of 1 if they are standing on a gold block:

/execute at @a if block ~ ~-2 ~ minecraft:gold_block run scoreboard players set @s gold 1  

The problem is that I need the position of the player but also their entity data. How can I achieve this?

Applying custom cape to badlion/lunar/laby mod

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 10:03 PM PST

I had bought minecraft recently and I had used a cape and edited it, and I want to apply it to my skin. This is the cape that I want to upload. I am fine with using any kind of launcher, the official mc launcher/badlion/lunar, but I want to apply it on my 1.8.9 as I play bedwars usually.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Minecraft server 25565 Refusing connection

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 07:05 PM PST

Here are the server properties:

#Minecraft server properties  #Mon Jan 11 19:37:17 UTC 2021  generator-settings=biomesoplenty  op-permission-level=4  allow-nether=true  level-name=world  enable-query=false  allow-flight=true  prevent-proxy-connections=false  server-port=25565  max-world-size=29999984  level-type=DEFAULT  enable-rcon=false  force-gamemode=false  level-seed=  server-ip=192.168.0.111  network-compression-threshold=256  max-build-height=256  spawn-npcs=true  white-list=false  spawn-animals=true  snooper-enabled=true  hardcore=false  resource-pack-sha1=  online-mode=true  resource-pack=  pvp=true  difficulty=1  enable-command-block=false  player-idle-timeout=0  gamemode=0  max-players=20  max-tick-time=60000  spawn-monsters=true  generate-structures=true  view-distance=6  motd=A Minecraft Server  

I have made many servers before, and have had them working. But for some reason my forge modded server is not working. When I use "canyouseeme.org" it says connection refused on port 25565.

I have added exceptions in the windows firewall. Disabled the firewall and allowed all inbound and outbound traffic to pass through the domain, private and public networks. But it is still returning connection refused.

I am running it on my laptop, and when I go to my desktop I cannot see the server running. However I can connect using Minecraft's 'direct connect' feature and will be able to login to the server and play. But cannot see it is up, nor can my friends play remotely.

What is happening?

I have port forwarded correctly and tripple-checked, even tried different ports to the same avail. Uninstalled my vpns (as they were blocking access to the router to port forward). I have restarted the laptop many times. What is blocking connections to the server? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Changing the "drop all"/"drop stack" keybind in Minecraft

Posted: 06 Feb 2022 01:00 AM PST

I'm experimenting to find the most comfortable keybinds for me and I found that Ctrl would be perfect for dropping items. However Ctrl + [drop item key] drops the whole stack, which is also the case for Ctrl+Ctrl, meaning that I can't drop single items with this setup. Can I change the "drop all" keybind to something else? Anything goes, I'll even gladly install a mod if it allows that.

Pacman for PC does not persist high scores

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 02:46 PM PST

I used to play this game years ago and I recently found it again, so I decided to try it.

enter image description here

To my surprise, every time I lose and start another game, the previous score is not persisted, it's back to 0.

enter image description here

I don't actually remember if it was always like this, or if there is something wrong with this installer/version of the game.

Does anybody know if it's possible for this app to persist the score locally (offline) between game (and app) restarts?

Thanks

EDIT:

I downloaded it from https://qpdownload.com/pacman/

EDIT:

When I played it years ago in Windows XP, the game did save the progress in a file called neavePacman.sol.

What metals can be extracted from what items?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 06:14 PM PST

I'm currently playing through Mount And Blade 2: Bannerlord, which has an interesting smithing system. whenever I visit a new settlement there is a trader who'll sell items and at times it's worth buying weapons with the intention of smelting these to materials.

I've been looking about but I'm unable to find a list of weapons/items and what exactly they smelt into. All items smelt into a set amount of materials, but is anyone able to tell me what all items will smelt into?

How to have kids with another player in Minecraft Comes Alive?

I'm playing Minecraft Comes Alive with my boyfriend and we're already married (with /mca proposal) but, how can we have kids?

Do difficulty or local difficulty affect spawn rates?

Posted: 06 Feb 2022 03:00 AM PST

Somewhere in gnembon's Simple Hostile Mob Farms, Minecraft 1.12 (Fun Farms Ep. 15) video he mentions difficulty and local difficulty but I cannot remember where in the video.

In my 1.12 survival world I ran my build of his farm for an hour, getting about 4600 items/hr on Normal and about 6500 items/hr on Hard (regional difficulty 3.19, which is much lower than the max of 6.75). I ran the Normal test before the Hard test so the local difficulty may have changed slightly. Some of this effect might be due to pack spawning or just higher spawn rates.

The answers from Advantages of hard mode in minecraft are outdated.

I am looking for evidence based answers (tests, looking through game code), not hearsay or what the wiki says if it is unsourced.

How to deactivate a PSN account on a PS3?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 10:30 PM PST

So when I first got my PS3 I didn't have a PSN account so my sister logged into hers. Now I have my own PSN account and I can't log into it on my account. I know I could create a new account and log in there , but all my saved data is on my account and I would like to keep it all. So my question is, is there a way to delete her PSN account from my PS3 account without losing anything?

How do I enchant a bow with Mending and Infinity?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 11:41 AM PST

In Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, I wanted to make a bow with Unbreaking III, Flame I, Infinity I, Power V, Punch II, and Mending I, but it won't let me add Mending I. Why won't it allow me to make such a bow?

How many different colored Yoshis are there?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 10:33 PM PST

In Super Mario World, Yoshis had abilities depending on their color and Koopa Shells. If a blue Yoshi licks up a Koopa Shell, it could temporarily grow wings until it is swallowed or spit out. If a red Yoshi licks up a Koopa Shell, it could spit it back out as a trio of fireballs.

How many different colored Yoshis are there?

Is there a list of all the required spirits I need to progress in World of Light?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 04:10 PM PST

My inventory now has a ton of spirits, and a lot of these are duplicates in terms of abilities. For example, I have numerous Punch Attack ↑ support spirits, and I can see the value in stacking them, but for spirits like Immune to Poison/Lava/Sleep it seems pointless to bother hoarding multiple of the same.

That said, there seems to be a required list of spirits I need? to progress through World of Light. As of 75% right now, I've cleared most but not all, and still have a few obscured sections. I'd like to know which spirits are required to progress in the story so I can get rid of duplicates that aren't those spirits.

At least from what I can tell so far, I need:

  • Bomberman, for rock demolition
  • Cyrus & Reese, for bridge building
  • Lapras, for the water surfing section SE
  • Kapp'n, for the boat/lake section SW
  • Hal Emmerich, to get into the bunker SW
  • Pico, for the F-Zero racing circuit
  • Bus Dude (can't find the name), for the Bus route between the Town W and the city center

Do I need any more?

Minecraft Showing Different World Lists when Launched through Steam

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 11:02 AM PST

Recently, my computer has been acting quite strangely.

My Minecraft saves list, server list and options menu have become bugged, and now display two different lists when either executed through Steam or not [I have linked Minecraft to Steam as a non-Steam game].

The 6 worlds on the longer list are my standard worlds, and used to load correctly when through Steam-related Minecraft and not. However, after a long while, neither of the Minecraft shortcuts displayed any worlds. I created 2 worlds for me and my friend to play on, as the old ones were seemingly removed [I should note that I can't access my %appdata% file, for some reason]. After about 3 weeks, I went back into Minecraft through Steam. When I looked through the saves, the 6 worlds were back. After that, I launched it regularly and it showed the 2 newer saves.

This doesn't need to be solved, it's completely fine as it is, I'd just like an explanation if there is one.

I cannot think of any reason why this is happening. There are two screenshots if you'd like further detail.

Iron in FTB Infinity Evolved Skyblock

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 12:02 PM PST

My buddy and I started playing this last night and after crafting our first expert mode bucket, we were pretty fed up with how slow it was getting iron from sieving gravel.

Is there a better way of getting iron or somehow automating the sieve?

There is an item stuck in my inventory in Minecraft!

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 05:00 PM PST

There is an Item in my inventory that stays in it's place and will not move no matter what. I am on a server so there is very little I can do about it. I am in creative mode. If I try to use the hotbar slot that it is in, I can't break blocks or interact with anything... can someone help me!?!?

Why do speed-runners usually use the Japanese version of a game?

Posted: 05 Feb 2022 10:02 PM PST

In most speed-running videos, the person playing the game will usually play the Japanese version, with or without any knowledge of understanding Japanese. Is there a reason why they do this?

In particular, I am talking about traditionally Japanese games being speed ran, like Cave Story or Legend of Zelda.
