Is there a way to keep playing sound at zombie's location?

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 11:29 AM PDT

How do I make it so a sound will play only once and won't repeat when a player gets 10 blocks near a zombie? But I want the sound to play AT The location of the zombie, so it will be like 3D sound. I tried stuff but they didn't work and I'm running out of ideas.

Minecraft version: 1.18.2 Java

A command I tried in a repeating command block:

/execute as @e[type=zombie] at @e[type=zombie] run playsound custom.sussyb master @a[distance=0..10] ~ ~ ~

What is the best way to find bastions in minecraft? Because I find it annoying to randomly travel in the nether hoping to stumble across a bastion.

PS4 games not loading faster via SSD

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 06:23 AM PDT

I have a PS4 Slim and just got a Samsung Portable SSD T7 (1TB) drive. The drive has 1050MB/s read & 1000MB/s write speed via USB 3.2 Gen2. I hooked it up to my PS4 and transferred a game onto it hoping for faster loading times. However, the game loads just as slowly as without the SSD. I'm playing locally, not over a network. Does anyone have an idea why games aren't loading faster?

Do I need to start a new character to play the True Vault Hunter Mode boss?

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 03:43 AM PDT

I just finished Borderlands 2 on the normal mode and unlocked the true vault hunter mode (TVHM). Do I need to play the game all over again to grind the warrior (final boss) in TVHM or is it possible to try the boss in TVHM without playing entire game again?

Is it possible to avoid the missions to kill the Lieutenants?

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 04:20 AM PDT

I heard that the player is forced to complete the Lieutenant killing missions upon getting enough resistance points, but is that true?

The Wiki notes the minimum thresholds to start missions, but only implies that they're forced upon the player?

How are decimal point gains handled?

Posted: 31 May 2022 12:23 PM PDT

I play as Killer. I get a total of 11'111 points in the match, one hook. I have Barbecue & Chilli at level 3 which means I get an additional 25% points. No other effects that give additional bloodpoints are active.

The total amount of bloodpoints I should get from this match are 11'111 * 1.25 = 13888.75

However, the account bloodpoint value never shows a decimal value. How many points did I actually get in this (hypothetical) match?

Are the points rounded up or down or are the decimal values kept but never displayed?

How to increment potion effects?

Posted: 31 May 2022 11:43 AM PDT

I want to figure out how to make it so that, instead of giving a new potion effect, I could add to the previous ones, i.e. 2 + 3 = 5.
How can I do this?

How to fix "Failed to read/write NVM/MEC file" error with PCSX2 emulator?

I have problem with my PCSX2 v. 1.6.0. When I try to start any game it, I get this error message:

Failed to read/write NVM/MEC file. Check your BIOS setup permission settings.

Do you know how can I resolve this error?

In what exact manner does an NTSC SNES game differ from being played on a PAL SNES+TV?

Posted: 31 May 2022 07:46 PM PDT

I have a PAL SNES and a PAL CRT TV from 1989. I do not believe that it supports NTSC; it only says "50 Hz" on the back.

Some SNES games were never released in Europe (or anywhere which used PAL), so for certain games, such as Final Fantasy III (VI), there is only an NTSC version.

I have the NTSC American ROM of Final Fantasy III (VI) on my FXPAK PRO cartridge. I am able to start the game and it appears to run perfectly well on my setup, because the cartridge has some sort of NTSC-to-PAL converter mechanism built in.

This kind of "NTSC-to-PAL converter" existed back in the day as well, as a physical thing, but I never had one or knew anyone who had one, so it doesn't mean much to me.

Since the PAL and NTSC consoles are hardware-wise different, and the NTSC and PAL TV systems were quite a bit different, I have to assume that there are some differences compared to if I had run the game on an NTSC SNES with an NTSC-capable TV, but I have never been able to determine just what those differences are.

What exactly are those differences? How major/minor are they really? Is the game/music/logic speed slower, faster or the same for me? Is the resolution compensated for somehow? Are various special effects not displayed properly because of my PAL/50 Hz technology? Etc.

Prior to asking this question, I made an experiment and put the USA (NTSC) version of Super Mario Kart on the cartridge and tried that on my setup (and also the European/PAL one afterwards), which is a game I'm very familiar with, but was unable to discern any differences. (Although I did have it muted, so maybe the music is different speed. I also cannot fully trust that my eyes can determine minimal differences.)

How much are you paid as a mercenary?

A simple question with an elusive answer: if I sign a mercenary contract with a lord, how much will I be paid?

Which Lutris version works best with Star Trek Armada 2

Posted: 31 May 2022 10:08 AM PDT

Which Lutris version works best for playing Star Trek Armada 2 on Ubuntu Linux? Don't use the FS Hack, it messed up the display.

I tried 6.4 which crashed sometimes. You also had to press Escape to go the menu, to show full screen. Don't press alt + tab or your hotkeys are stopping to work (but it fixes some screen bugs, which are also fixed by pressing escape). Sometimes you have to restart the games several time, before it works properly.

Version 7.2 works stable, but sometimes the mission does not end and start the next mission, since a black quad is blocking the screen and you can't click anything. Had to save before the mission ends and start 6.4.

Version 7.1 works better as 7.2. It is stable and it does not have the black quad bug, you can finish your missions. It is the best version, I could play without any problems.

How do I create a sign which can be clicked with a specific item to run a command?

Posted: 31 May 2022 08:06 PM PDT

I want to place a sign on a block with the text '1' on its first line, that also, when you click on the sign whilst holding a piece of paper with the name '1853914142' it runs a command. This is what I've got so far;

/setblock -8 42 189 minecraft:birch_wall_sign[facing=east]{Text1:'{"text":"1","color":"black","clickEvent":{"action":"run_command","value":"/execute if entity @p[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:paper",tag:{display:{Name:\'{"text":"1853914142"}\'}}}}] run say hi"}}'}

Unfortunately, when I run this command inside a command block, it sets the sign correctly, however, no text appears on any of the lines. I'm not entirely sure that the escape sequence is correct, I think it may be the problem but I'm not sure. If anyone has any answers, they would be much appreciated!

What's the best way to collect all Goodies in Runabout 2?

Posted: 31 May 2022 06:02 PM PDT

How do I get items that I have missed once a mission is complete?

For example I found an item box in the Mall on one of my failed attempts, but didn't get it in my successful attempt. But after finishing the mission I can only access it in Time Trial where item boxes are not a thing?

Do I have to wait until I've completed the game at least once?

Something else?

Minecraft 1.14.4 Sky Mob Farms?

Posted: 31 May 2022 11:00 PM PDT

I just wondered if anybody truly knows why and if, how much "Sky-Mob-Farms" got nerfed in the most recent update of the game. I read a lot of YouTube comments saying that ideally the farms should be at the bottom of the world now. I also tried making a mob farm in creative above an ocean biome at height 160Y and I didn't manage to spawn a single mob on my spawning platform in the sky. Are all sky-mob farms broken these days, is my best bet just lighting up all my caves and put it somewhere near sea-level?

Using PC controllers with XInput on a 360?

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 12:09 AM PDT

I own 2 pc controllers, 1 redgear pro wireless and 1 redgear pro wired. I was wondering if there was a way to connect them to my ol' xbox 360? I read that controllers that use XInput work in this thread and I know that these use XInput. However when I connect them directly to the 360 they don't work at all. Is there any workaround or way for me to connect them to a 360? Any help is appreciated!

Stuck at swing bridge in Hunrath

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 02:03 AM PDT

I have done everything in Hunrath, I have been up to the tower and junkyard areas, and I know that I need to get to Maray or Kaptor.

But I accidentally swung the bridge right round to the extreme left so now I cannot cross the bridge to get to swap seed machines.

Is there any way to swing this bridge back or any other way to get to the other worlds so I can continue the game.

Is there a sneak toggle in Ghost of a Tale?

Posted: 31 May 2022 01:03 PM PDT

In Ghost of a Tale I find myself holding down the sneak button all the time, which can get surprisingly sore. Is a button/shortcut to switch sneak mode on or off instead?

Controller button preferred, but keyboard/mouse shortcut ok.

Tekken 7, restore customizations after account sharing, PS4

Posted: 31 May 2022 05:33 PM PDT

I was using friends account with tekken 7 to try it out through acc sharing feature. Later on i decided to buy my own version of tekken and did it, but i've bought deluxe edition instead. The problem is that i've lost all my character and player customization (the latter are rank specific and that's the problem actually). Is there any way to restore them beside de-ranking and ranking up back? My online rank is the same as i was playing on my account, so network related "progress" is actually there.

Playing Catherine on PSNow with Keyboard & Mouse

Can I play Catherine on PSNow on Mac (on Parallels) with Keyboard & Mouse?

Will this configuration work? I heard that some games simply cannot be played without a controller?

Any useful strategies for finding a Nether Fortress?

Posted: 01 Jun 2022 12:52 AM PDT

Anyone have useful strategies for finding a Nether Fortress in Minecraft's Nether?

I got into the nether and wandered around for quite a while, but didn't find anything. I'm not sure if there are giveaways (I was looking for large building-like things in the distance). I've got a map, and have explored a small, but not unreasonable part of it. Any idea how many fortresses a single map might contain?

How can I change the accelerate key in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit?

Posted: 31 May 2022 10:04 PM PDT

I am trying to change the key controls of NFS Hot pursuit, but when I go to

Settings → Gameplay Settings → Controls

And I press Enter to change the key configuration, it says "volume down":

enter image description here

I don't have any idea what key that corresponds to.

I have a Lenovo Y470 laptop, which has a Fn key, and if you press Fn + ←, it reduces the volume. Initially, I thought maybe this was what it was referring to, but it doesn't work.

How can I use the accelerate control? What button does this correspond to?

How can I find my World's Strongholds?

Posted: 31 May 2022 10:44 PM PDT

I've been searching for hours in the game to find a Stronghold and haven't seen one. Apparently lots of mobs and treasures can be found there, but the question is where can we find those?

Can we find them near a ravine or abandoned tunnels?
