What does "players like you love this game" mean exactly?

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:55 AM PDT

What exactly is the mechanism behind this statement?

The game in question, Cyberpunk 2077, at the moment of writing has a general rating of 76% ('Mostly Positive') — I would not consider that 'love'. But if "players like me" love this game, then a specific group of Steam users must have a much higher rating for this game.

Who are these "players like me"? What parameters determine which users fall among my gaming kindred?

Alternatively, how does Steam define 'love'?

Need help making a ground distance detector

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:12 AM PDT

so im making a datapack where some players cannot take fall damage. i dont want to use resistance 5 or jump boost 255 as there needs to be pvp and jump boost 255 will launch you in the air with pvp. my solution is to calculate the amount of fall damage that will be taken. e.g 5 blocks, one heart, and add that on to their existing health with the attribute command. however, i cannot find any tutorials on how to detect this distance. can anybody link a multiplayer-friendly tutorial or give a better solution? thanks!

How to remove text field restrictions in Minecraft 1.18.1 with a client side mod?

I want to allow the § symbol in Minecraft for single-player use but I don't seem to find a way how to do it.

Can someone of you help me with it, please?

Last Stone of Barenziah can't find it! [duplicate]

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 11:39 PM PDT

I've gone through the list and revisited every place on it. I can't find the 24th stone anywhere. So I didn't even know what they were when I started collecting them. After getting several of them (and not being able to store them anywhere, because quest item) I finally decided I needed all of them so I could get rid of them.
I went through a video walk-through and found the ones I didn't have, except for one. I think I have it nailed down to the one in the Thalmor embassy. I remember playing dress up there, but it was so long ago I don't remember anything about looking for or finding one of the stones inside. Now I can't get back inside and when I go to the Reeking Cave I see the dead mage, but no stone.
Any ideas?

How do I a get deleted world save back?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 05:55 PM PDT

I have a BungeeCord (Waterfall) server network. Well, that's besides the point. One of my friends built a bunch of stuff on a world. Later, I was cleaning up old backups. I thought I was deleting an old backup when I deleted the latest one. I have tried getting that region's MCA file back using recovery software (DMDE). I found a lot of different versions of the same file from different times. I went through each one and none of them were the right one. BUT, I heard chunks might be saved client side here: ...do all the members in the server save a local copy...?. Is this true? Is there any way I might be able to get my save back?

Civ 6 Maori units are automatically healing, why?

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 07:26 AM PDT

A few times in this game a Maori unit has automatically healed itself. This one was down in the red, it just got attacked, then at the start of the next turn it was fully healed.

I didn't promote it, I did nothing at all, it's just magically healed.

Any idea why? I can find nothing about this online. I haven't played as the Maori for months but I don't remember this happening before.

Is there a folder with all nicknames in Riot launcher?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 03:34 PM PDT

You can find logs of events under Harddrive:RiotGames:LeagueOfLegends:Logs:Gamelogs (pick one) and skim each one.

Steam has a clean folder listing all nicknames under loginusers.vdf

Does Riotlauncher have an equal?

How can I help the homeless children?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 06:37 PM PDT

Spontaneously, a bunch of children in my village in "Banished" (PC, via Steam) have become homeless. Two were students, one is a small child (2 years old).

Homeless child

What I think happened, is that their parent died by misadventure. (In this village, people in all sorts of professions have been killed by falling rocks. I'm not sure how vendors, traders, fishermen, and farmers all seem to be wandering in the way of rock falls, but that's beside the point here.)

Anyway, in an attempt to mitigate it, I built some more houses. People moved in, and the two students stopped being homeless -- but this child remains. I've also got a boarding house that's sitting empty. He's not hungry (he stops by random houses and gets fed), but winter is coming and I'd rather he not freeze to death.

Here's his info:

Child's Info box

Other than the fact that he's homeless, he seems to be a perfectly happy, normal child ... and I'd kind of like for him to stay that way.

How can I give this child a home?

Sticky piston not dropping block after one-tick pulse on some y-axis values

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 09:08 AM PDT

I discovered this bug where a sticky piston won't spit out its block when a 1 tick pulse is passed on the block over it. It causes the piston NOT to spit out its block on even -y axis values and on all +y axis values. the sticky piston DOES spit out the block on odd -y axis values. Here is a video of it, I have opened the F3 screen during the video so that you can see what the position of the piston is in the "Targeted block:" part of the F3 menu. I am playing in Minecraft version 1.18.2. No mods.

I know this has something to do with Quasiconnectivity but I don't know how or why, and something to do with directional features (similar to some directional 0 tick pulse generators). How and why does this happen?

Is selecting Data0 really a point of no return?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 03:04 PM PDT

After getting every ending in Needy Streamer Overload, a new save file labeled Data0 appeared on the main menu. Clicking it makes a message appear.

You will not be able to return. Continue?

| Cancel | OK |

Is this really a point of no return? Will still I be able to reload an old save if I click OK?

“Friendly fire” for enemies in the Dark Souls series

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 04:42 PM PDT

In Dark Souls enemies can hit through other enemies without damaging them.

Is this also true for:

  • Dark Souls 2
  • Dark Souls 3

Can I still get Rice if I have Fine Snow from a previous playthrough?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 04:48 PM PDT

The Divine Child gives Rice to the player occasionally (I'm not exactly sure what the triggers are), until you give her the Serpent Viscera, at which point she gives you Fine Snow.

Upon starting NG+, I still had a Fine Snow in my inventory. Upon reaching the Divine Child again, she gave me the Rice, but I am yet to receive another.

The wiki states (about the Rice item):

The Divine Child won't give this item to Wolf, if he already has a copy in his inventory.

It doesn't specifically state anything about a cross-over between the different items, however.

So what do I need to do (and not do) in order to get another Rice item?

Randomised resource rarity in Subnautica

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 06:46 PM PDT

I have noticed in certain playthroughs in Subnautica that sometimes there are fewer resources of a particular type, an example being in one playthrough I could find hardly any large quartz deposits and vast amounts of large titanium deposits. Is this normal?

How can I disable autosave since it is causing lag spikes?

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:06 AM PDT

Minecraft freezes so much that it is unplayable, even though I get a good 5 FPS at minimum graphics settings.

There is no option to disable "auto saving" option in minecraft, and I wish there is. Is there any way to disable auto saving? I have forge installed so I can use mods to turn it off.

Does Titanium Rifling negate the downsides of Super Heavy Compound?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 05:02 PM PDT

The effects of the Super Heavy Compound weapon mod increase base damage, but reduce movement speed and add damage drop off over distance. The Titanium Rifling Weapon mod eliminates damage drop off over distance or adds damage over distance to weapons without any damage drop off. Does one of these effects have a stronger impact than the other? Does one negate the other? Does the order that they are applied change anything?

Connecting an Xbox 360 controller to Windows 10 with a wireless receiver with no sync button

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 04:03 PM PDT

I have a generic wireless receiver which I have set up as an Xbox 360 wireless receiver using the microsoft official drivers, but the device does not have a sync button. It does have a button but it was originally for a different purpose. Is it possible to force the syncing process to begin using software instead of the physical button?

Objective minecraft.custom:minecraft.leave_game not working

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 10:03 PM PDT

I am working on a map, and in this map's function I have a system that gives players who rejoin the map a /title message (rejoining meaning leaving the world then coming back). At first it seemed to be working fine, but I soon realized that occasionally I came on and had no score, so I wouldn't be /tp-ed to the spawn and I wouldn't get the message. I know I have no score because it doesn't work, then I leave and rejoin and then it does work.

These are the commands I am currently using:

/scoreboard objectives add leave minecraft.custom:minecraft.leave_game  /tp @a[scores={leave=1}] 0 5 0  /title @a[scores={leave=1}] title {"text":"Welcome back!","color":"aqua"}  /scoreboard players reset @a[scores={leave=1}] leave  

It worked before. I have tried resetting the score only if the player is at the spawn, but it still does not work sometimes. It is crucial that I get this working every time. Is this a bug? Is there any workaround or a substitute, or am I just stupid?

EDIT

I have tested my map multiple times. These are my results:

-10 times I left the game normally, flying a distance away from the spawn before quitting. Each time was successful.

-10 times I opened to LAN before quitting. Nine times worked.

-5 times I reloaded and immediately quit. Each time failed.

-10 times I slightly edited and saved the function, five times in the game and five times not in the game. Each time was successful (and there were no synax errors).

-2 times I crashed the game by pressing F3 + T, making sure the game auto saved before I did. Not only did they fail but the next few logins after that failed too.

-I retested opening to LAN about 10 more times. I noticed it tended to fail the most when I was falling or when I immediately quit afterwards. At one point it took FOUR CONSECUTIVE LOGINS, without LAN active but after a LAN failure, to get my message.

Now I'm really scared about this issue.

Commands to stop hunger depletion without constant refilling health?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 04:17 PM PDT

I am looking to create an area where, when players enter it, their hunger does not deplete but they are not 'invincible' (super-fast regenerating health). I have tried:

1)

/effect @a 23 1000000 1 1  

But this just gives the infinite health regen issue.

2)

/testfor @a {foodLevel:17}  

(and all food levels below) and given the appropriate saturation, but that is incredibly resource intensive and still provides some form of invinicibility.

Basically I want the hunger to freeze but for saturation to stay at a consistent level. Is there a way to do this through the use of command blocks or functions (it's also important it can be toggled). Thanks

How do I change the resolution of Men of War?

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 09:00 AM PDT

I am trying to manually set the resolution of the game Men of War to 1280x1024 to play a mod.

I have tried to use the nircmd to change the resolution but some error message pops up and then the game exits. There are no in-game settings to change the resolution, but I am quite sure it is possible by editing the settings file. However I do not know how to do this.

How is the resolution changed in Men of War

How can I fix a stair to its shape?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 03:04 PM PDT

I am trying to build an arch roof using stairs and in doing so I need stairs to get a fixed stair shape. Here are some pictures to clarify:

Two stairs together can form a corner stair:

Minecraft stairs

However when the adjoining stair is removed, the corner stair reverts to a single stair shape:

Minecraft stairs

As you can see, the stair isn't fix as a corner stair. How can I do that?

Do the cars in Blocky Roads have different specs?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 06:06 PM PDT

The game Blocky Roads has some cars which are locked. The game has an upgrade mechanism.

Do different but unmodified cars have different handling characteristics, or are the differences only cosmetic?

If a take the first unlocked car an upgrade all the parts to 10/10 will it be the same as the last unlockable car upgraded to 10/10?
