What is the name of this PC game? [closed]

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 07:48 PM PDT

I wanted to recommend this game to a friend but realized I don't remember the name. I thought it started with an "I" and was something like "Ika" or "Ikku" but obviously not since I can't find any results with these names. This is not a super recently released game, I think it was released prior to 2010.

The game is an isometric-ish open world RPG that takes place in medieval Japan (I think). You start with a single character but you can add more members to your group through the course of the game. Gameplay is very open ended and you can travel from town to town doing more or less whatever you want, including founding your own towns, but a lot of actions will result in the AI responding aggressively. Obviously if you're caught committing a crime inside a town, the town guards will arrest that character and put them in prison, and at that point you can either try to escape or let that character wait out their sentence (?). Founding a town is fraught with problems since some nearby power will likely see this as a threat and send forces to try to crush you. At one point I had a fairly successful run going by being law-abiding and running a business in production and trade inside existing towns.

I feel like this game was an indie favorite at one point so hopefully someone will know!

What are the benefits of using a better hammer in A Township Tale (VR)?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:27 PM PDT

Im very new to A Township Tale, I started learning carpentry and blacksmithing recently, and a random question entered my head while I was making a new axe, what are the benefits of putting in the work for a better hammer (copper, iron, etc.) if you can make a primitive hammer in two minutes to do it?

Of course there's the durability increase but besides that I can't find or think of any other benefits, since the primitive ones get the job done just as well. Im asking specifically for the hammer since I found the benefits for other tools like pickaxes and axes obviously, but couldn't find any for the hammer which only made me wonder more.

I am in the Oculus Quest 2 version because I heard there can be differences between the PC version and VR version.

Can you speedrun Bomberman with an emulator?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:10 PM PDT

I have played Bomberman since I was little but now I would like to upload some speedrun even if my time is not ideal. But I don't have an NES right now. Is it legal to use an emulator? or do I need the NES or famicom? If I can use the emulator, which emulator is considered the most accurate?

How to save a game that doesn't have a save feature at all?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:05 AM PDT

There is an old Windows XP game that I found after many years and wanted to play it again. The game is called "Knight of Knights" by Tomoshibi.
I managed to find a way to run this 3D game on my modern Windows 10 and it runs perfectly.
The problem is, this game does not have any form of saving feature. And just to tell how bad that problem is:

  1. If you close the game, you need to start over.
  2. If you die once, you need to start over.
  3. Even if you just go back to the main menu, you need to start over.

In emulators there is the "save state" function that allow you to save in any game regardless if it is supported in-game or not. I know that doing save state in Windows 10 is not really an option.
Since it's a very old game from Windows XP era, I would like to ask if there is any way to add a save feature to a Windows game.
Maybe running it the same way you run an emulator to isolate it from my main Windows system. Or just getting a mod that give me an option to save. This is a very obscure and unknown game, so there isn't any community that created mods for it.

So how should I go about it?

How do I tell wether EAX works in Uru: Complete Chronicles?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 07:10 PM PDT

After following the guide in PCGamingWiki to enable EAX in Uru: Complete Chronicles (GOG edition) and adding DSOAL to the game folder I can still not hear any difference in game.

Since I've never played the game before I don't know exactly what effects to expect or where to expect it, but I was expecting some reverb on my footsteps while running around in the sandstone cave in the mushroom age.

How can I tell for sure whether it works or not? Is there a particular area (in early game) where I can expect e.g. reverb?

What I've done:

  • Installed the EAX fix
  • Copied DSOAL's dsound.dll and dsoal-aldrv.dll to the game folder
  • Also, before the above, installed the Official Beta Patch 1.1.4 which isn't directly related to audio (other than disabling DirectMusic)

Aerial drowned farm with the ceiling which is a glass bottomed pool

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:17 AM PDT

I'm in bedrock 1.18, survival mode. I don't like applying a video without understanding why it works.

I've read this wiki tutorial and I'm confused.

These 2 paragraphs made me confused: (it says 6 blocks and 13 blocks!)

Make the ceiling completely from glass blocks, with at least six blocks between the floor and bottom of the glass. 1 block of stone wall (excluding the slabs on the top edge of the wall) should extend above the top of the glass, to form a shallow pool that you must fill completely with water source blocks (no flowing water). You can build a temporary infinite water source off to the side to work with as you fill the pool.

Using a glass-bottomed pool for the ceiling takes advantage of the fact that drowned spawn under water but not on transparent surfaces, so they end up spawning on the platform under the glass. The water attenuates the sky light by 2, and each block of space under the glass causes further attenuation. One needs at 13 blocks of space (including the glass) under the water for the light level to be zero on the platform to let drowned spawn during the daytime. Drowned also cannot spawn on bottom slabs, but using bottom slabs instead of glass for the bottom of the pool makes the farm inoperable. The bottom of the pool must be glass.

Question

What is the content of layers? (I wrote my assumption below)

129-source water blocks (ceiling)  128-glass (ceiling)  [122-127]-space (6 blocks height)  121-flowing water (spawn platform)  120-dirt (spawn platform)

Are song leaderboards cross platform in Beat Saber?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 12:55 PM PDT

If I'm playing the Steam version of Beat Saber, do the song leaderboards include high scores from players on Oculus Quest? Or do the Steam & Quest versions have separate leaderboards?

Can You Clone The Area From One Player To Another?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 03:46 PM PDT

Are you able to clone the area from one entity's location to another's then paste it at another's?

Example: "Entity 1" = E1, "Entity 2" = E2. "Entity 3" = E3

/clone <E1 ~ ~ ~> <E2 ~ ~ ~> <E3 ~ ~ ~>

I am trying to make a bedwars command set that you can set two armor stands to copy the area between them, then paste it at a third armor stand.

How to calculate total weapon DPS?

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 05:10 AM PDT

I have a mace with slow attack speed that has 122 DPS (physical damage 41-81). It also has 11 electric, 3 ice and 3 poison damage. What would the actual DPS of the mace be? Is it higher than that of an axe with average attack speed that has 138 DPS (physical damage 51-101)?

How did the ADAM economy work in Rapture?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:27 AM PDT

In the backstory of Bioshock, ADAM is a substance that was discovered in sea slugs. It could be processed into Gene Tonics and Plasmids, that give people special powers. Tonics and Plasmids were sold at "Gatherer's Garden" vending machines.

In-game, the player collects ADAM by various means, and spends them at Gatherer's Garden machines to get gameplay upgrades. But how did that economy work in story terms?

The ADAM was produced by Fontaine Futuristics and Ryan Industries. Initially this was direct from the slugs, then from implanting the slugs into young girls called Little Sisters (which increased production), and finally by having the Little Sisters collect ADAM from the corpses of splicers (people who had themselves used Tonics and Plasmids). So why would the vending machines accept ADAM as payment, rather than Rapture Dollars like other vending machines? It would be like a Coca-Cola vending machine that accepts sugar as payment.

True, Fontaine and Ryan would want to collect more ADAM if possible, but the public had no way to obtain ADAM except (towards the end) by attacking Little Sisters. And we know that Fontaine and Ryan didn't want people to attack Little Sisters, because they specifically created the Big Daddies to protect them.

Obviously this has the gameplay purpose of forcing the player to fight Big Daddies, and limiting the number of upgrades they can buy on each level. But is there an in-universe explanation?

What if you don't hit Sans at the end of the fight?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 03:05 PM PDT

Before anybody says I could try it myself, I played it but can't get Sans to tire out so I can't try out this question myself because his fight is too hard for me.

What if, when Sans is tired for his "special attack", you choose the hit button but then instead of hitting him, you let the bar slide across the entire thing causing it to miss? I couldn't find any videos or pictures of this, so is it possible to do that or would you hit him anyway? If you can miss him intentionally then what happens after?

Opening CS:GO Sticker Capsules

Do you need a key to open a CS:GO Sticker Capsule? I'm not talking about the old capsules like Sticker Capsule 1 or Sticker Capsule 2, I'm talking about the new capsules like the Autograph Capsule.

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:19 AM PDT

So I got my villagers to make about 10 babies. However, my younger sister killed all the babies, and they won't breed again. Do I need to give the villagers more bread? Break and replace the beds? (The symbol that the villagers un-linked from the beds showed up on all the beds)

Is there a way to convert a Java Edition world to Bedrock on Mac?

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 04:38 AM PDT

I would like to move my survival world from my Mac (Big Sur, Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.3) to my iPhone (iOS 14.3, Minecraft Bedrock Edition v1.16.201) but the only free software I could find was MCC Toolchest, (which only runs on Windows) and Anvil to LevelDB (Which I couldn't find a valid download link for). I'm wondering if there is an easy way to manually convert the world.

GTA V reverting cloud saves?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 07:07 PM PDT

As I said in my last post, my cloud saves were behind on my missions. Since I play GTA V on Geforce Now, my data always gets erased to I rely on the cloud to save my games. However, I noticed that when I reinstalled the epic version of GTA V, the saves were behind a lot. So I played for a while more, and then reinstalled again, and then they were also behind.

But the thing is, I checked the social club before I installed it and it showed the right amount of progress, but when I installed gta the progress was reverted on both gta and social club! I'm wondering what's going on, and is there a way to solve this? Could it be a problem with the Epic games save?

How to activate commands around a tagged entity with command blocks?

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 03:02 AM PDT

So I am trying to set the score of a person within two blocks of a tagged armor stand, but the commands I thought would work don't.

I have tried

execute at @e[tag=GFlag] run scoreboard players add  @a[scores{dropFlag1.0=0},team=Red,distance=..2] 1

and

execute at @a[team=Red,scores={dropFlag1.0=0}] if entity @e[tag=GFlag,distance=..2] run scoreboard players add @a[team=Red,scores={dropFlag1.0=0}] 1

but neither has had the results I wanted.

How to make a lever invulnerable/unbreakable in minecraft?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:01 AM PDT

I wanna know how can I make a lever invulnerable so that lava can't burn it and a player can't remove it.

I tried the following but it didn't work : 

/scoreboard players tag @e[item=lever,r=10] add iMarker  /entitydata @e[tag=iMarker] {Invulnerable:1}

This processes something and no errors are shown but still the lever is burned by lava.

Minecraft crashes with exit code -805306369

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 12:55 AM PDT

My Minecraft crashes randomly whilst I play. For example when I shift-left-click rapidly my game crashes. Also when I start up Minecraft when I click anywhere on the screen, the whole Minecraft tab flickers.

I have put the crash details below, I'm not that experienced with this kind of stuff so I was hoping any of you could help me out at all.

Creating a minecart spawner that had blocks riding them

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:05 AM PDT

I know how in 1.7 you can summon a minecart that has a block "riding" it, as in you can change the block's height above it, what block it is, etc.

I also know how to make a minecart spawner.

How can i combine the two in order to create a minecart spawner with a block riding on the spawned carts?

I saw this on a server, it's a teleportation room and when you hit the button it puts a spawner below you, and you see this block whirl around you. Any ideas? This may also be part of a plugin, idk
