How can I erase my save & start fresh in Crypt of the Necrodancer on Steam for PC?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 04:43 PM PDT

I've just started up Crypt of the Necrodancer: Amplified on Steam for PC for the first time in ages. I'm playing version 3, the update that dropped today, and it seems like I've got an old save loaded up. I'm starting with six hearts, every room in the lobby is unlocked, the shops are all mostly empty, I have zones 1–5 unlocked, etc. I assume this isn't just the default starting state of a fresh save in this version of the game—I remember having to fight through the dungeon to have to unlock each shopkeeper, and I imagine the shops shouldn't be empty!

I'd like to reset my progress to a clean slate and start like new. I can't for the life of me figure out how to erase my progress though. Every time I attempt to clear my save based on things I've found on Google, it doesn't change anything.

Things I've tried include the following:

  1. Search the in-game menu for an option to clear save data, like we had in 2.x.
  2. Open Misc Options to enable advanced settings, and search again.
  3. Set "Save on Exit: Off" and restart, in the hopes that means no save.
  4. Go to Crypt of the Necrodancer → Properties → General, and disable cloud saves for this game.
  5. Delete the save_data.xml file at steamapps\common\Crypt of the NecroDancer\data, although in my case it had a string of numbers in the filename as well.
  6. Go to C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/, open the subfolder with numbers (my user ID), find the subfolder in there named 247080 (the Crypt of the Necromancer game ID), and delete it. There's no folder for 554000 (the Amplified DLC game ID).
  7. Uninstall and reinstall the game while cloud saves are disabled.

Still, whatever I do, when I start the game it's just the same as before:

the permanent upgrade shop and neighbouring shops, all empty but for one item

What do I need to do to start from a fresh save in this version of the game?

Why do I have to put at @s in a execute command?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 03:37 PM PDT

Here is my command block so far:

execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:diamond_block

Then a comparator going into a command block:

say hi

In the first code, if I don't put at @s it doesn't work, why is that?

And what does a comparator do next to a command block?

How can I attach the bottom to the top of Nintendo 3DS XL?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 01:27 PM PDT

I took a Nintendo 3DS XL apart to replace the bottom middle portion of the shell because the hinge broke.

I took the bottom and top apart to change this piece. Where they connect is a small hinge on the left side of the bottom half through which 3 ribbon cables and 1 other cable go through and the right side which has the power light and hinge.

I have put the cables through the left side and attached that side, but cannot figure out how to get the hinge on the right connected.

I watched some tutorials and this part is kind of glossed over. It appears that they have somehow slid part of the hinge into a slot on the top half and then pushed it back once the halves are lined up, however I am unable to push the hinge inside to top half far enough to do anything like this.

Is there a trick to this?

If your Science and Medicine skill, in Fallout New Vegas, is 70 or 85 what does this represent or look like in Real Life? [closed]

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 10:22 AM PDT

Basically I'm curious to know what Science or Medicine would look like in real life if someone had 70 or 85 in either of those skill levels.

I understand we get some interactions and ideas on what this means. For example at 70 Medicine the Courier can heal all three Boomers, one of which is very injured. 85 Medicine means you are an incredible talented surgeon.

But what does 70 or 85 Science look like? Conversely what does 70 or 85 Medicine look like in real life?

What characters do I need for The Fraught Returns achievement?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 05:21 AM PDT

In the Challengers Series V achievements tab, there is one last achievement that I couldn't figure out

The Fraught Return consists of not letting the Hydro Hypostasis revive itself by repelling the water droplets without destroying any of them

As I didn't fight it that much because I don't have a single character that uses its boss materials, I don't really know the ins and outs of its mechanics so I have to bring in my most durable and strongest characters to wipe it out

But the way I understand the achievement, I'd have to use Geo Traveler's burst and/or skill to block the water droplets during the finishing phase

That would make the traveler a weak spot in my party as mine only has 1-1-1 talents and I don't have any artifact set for them

Are there other ways of blocking those water droplets without destroying them?

Notes:

  • Zhongli's pillar (C0 Zhongli) may accidentally destroy one of them because it does some geo damage
  • Cryo keeps them in place but eats away at their shield (?), even non damaging ones such as Ayaka's dash
  • Not tested: physical attacks that can stall them in place
  • Not tested: hydro catalyst attacks that should deal no damage to them but keep them in place?
  • Not tested: electrocharged but that may damage them as well

How Do I Remove Minecraft IFrames (Invincibility Frames) 1.16.5 (Fabric/Datapack) [closed]

Can I "merge" a Java Edition and a Bedrock Edition account on a Minecraft Geyser server?

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 03:41 PM PDT

I'm making a server for my friends and myself, and I can't currently play on my computer, so I've added Geyser to my server so I can play on my Nintendo Switch. The problem is, the account on my Switch and the account on anything else I play Minecraft on is different. I was wondering if there was a plugin or any way to "merge" these accounts server side, that can keep the inventories, status effects, amount of hearts, and position synced between these accounts. Is it possible? If so, how?

Edit: No, I'm not asking if I can play Java and Bedrock, I'm asking how do I sync a Bedrock and Java (or two Java) accounts together so that they're essentially the same player.

Which race should I choose for smithing in Skyrim?

Old Win 95 Game runs only at 640*480p. This is only a tiny fraction of my screen

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 10:41 AM PDT

I recently installed an old (1998) game from my childhood. It was designed for Win 95/98 but runs smoothly on Win10. However, its resolution is set to 640x480 and there is no way to change that (there is no settings menu, to begin with). On my 1440p screen this is only a very small rectangle in the middle of the screen and the better part of my screen is just black (see image: https://imgur.com/BDqtLbu)

Is there a way to override the resolution a game is displayed in? Can this be upscaled somehow? I tried to google this but all the issues I found online are not applicable to me.

Zero Delay Minecraft Logic Gates

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 06:07 PM PDT

How to create Zero Delay Minecraft Logic Gates?

Specifically, whenever the input refreshes, the output should refresh in                                           0 Game Ticks and 0 Redstone Ticks. It must be purely .

I don't particularly like entities but these are OK. However, please don't use .

I need the following logic gates:

  • NOT
  • AND
  • OR
  • NAND
  • NOR
  • XOR
  • XNOR

And if either NOR, NAND, XOR, or XNOR can be achieved, all of the others can be achieved easily (I believe). Also, you have to make sure the logic gate can't be messed up in the following way:

  Input ----+            +---- Output  Input ----+

as one of the inputs can interfere with the other.

All I need is a NOT gate.

OR:

  Input ---NOT---NOT---+                       |                       +---NOT---NOT--- Output                       |  Input ---NOT---NOT---+

AND:

  Input ---NOT---+                 |                 +---NOT--- Output                 |  Input ---NOT---+

The others shall be obvious, given the OR, NOT, and AND gates.

How can this be achievable? I've heard of it, but how? I assume sticky pistons and quasi-connectivity (perhaps a BUD)? Q.C. works for me as I am using .

Please submit one answer per logic gate to ease voting.

SKSE64_Loader won't start the game

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 06:23 AM PDT

For some reason when I try to boot my game (which worked fine a minute ago), I get the following instead (also see image below):

SHGetFolderPath 00000005 failed (result = 80070005 lasterr = 00000005)

Assertion failed in E: \github\common\common\IDebugLog.cpp (64): SUCCEEDED(err) (code - FFFFFFFF80070005 (-2147024891))

Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and/or what this means and (hopefully) how to fix it?

What I have tried so far:

  • Checked the firewall and the antivirus software.
  • Run as admin.
  • Re-installed everything around 4 times, including the game and SKSE64.
  • Checked mod conflicts.
  • Disabled controlled folder access.

PS when it started acting up, I had just wiped my keyboard real quick and I hit a couple of buttons and then the black screen came up and now it won't work.

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

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 09:09 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.)

Which Lutris version works best with Star Trek Armada 2

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 11:06 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 remove armor stand arms on MCPE?

I play Minecraft Pocket Edition (Bedrock Edition) and I'm trying to do some Java builds. I need to remove the arms of the armor stands, but I can't find a command for it. Does anyone know a command to remove armor stand arms?

Can I create a custom biome with no floor for my datapack?

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 09:22 AM PDT

I've been looking into custom world generation recently and I found out that you can create custom biomes and have them generate in the world. I was wondering if it was at all possible to use this to create a biome with no floor at all. Like just a hole that drops into the void. I know I could use custom worldgen settings to create floating islands, but then I couldn't have stuff like custom particles, fog, or water. I've tried using custom surface builders, but I don't think they're powerful enough.

Is it possible to have a custom biome override the world generation and just be a huge hole?

Why do my commands not work in command blocks when they work correctly in chat?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 03:57 AM PDT

I'm attempting to make a system in which gives a player Slow Falling "indefinitely" when in a certain area/height (specially, in a specified rectangular are and from Y171 to Y189), then replacing it with the same except of 10 seconds instead when within a certain height lower than that (Y133 to Y171).

To do this, I've created a command system that does the following;

  1. (Chain 1) Looks for a player in the jumping area who doesn't have the tag effect. (the reason why I wanted Slow Falling). Then, gives them that tag.
  2. (C1) Looks for those who have the tag, and applies the indefinite Slow Falling.
  3. (C2) Looks for those both not between Y171 and Y189 and not in the boxed area, and removes the effect tag.
  4. (C2) Clears the Slow Falling effect for those without the effect tag.

Chain 3 is the problematic one. What it should do is the following;

  1. Searches for those without the effect tag between Y133 and Y171, and adds the tag in.

    execute as @a[tag=!effect,y=133,dy=38] at @s run tag @s add in

  2. Gives those with tag in Slow Falling for 10 seconds

    execute as @a[tag=in] at @s run effect give @s minecraft:slow_falling 10 1

  3. Removes tag in

    execute as @a[tag=in] at @s run tag @s remove in

The commands work perfectly fine on their own in chat, sent one-by-one. Attempting to put them in a command chain causes them to do absolutely nothing. I've never seen this happen before, and I can't seem to figure out why.

How to set Steam options from a batch file?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 01:00 PM PDT

I repair computers and often need to reconfigure or reinstall the software. Some users want Steam installed. I have a batch file that installs all the requested / required apps, including Steam. Steam has the ability to set various options from within its GUI, but that requires logging in. Besides, setting things through a GUI violates the whole idea of a batch file: run just one file and let it automatically do everything that's needed with no further operator interaction.

I found out how to keep Steam from auto-launching by running the following command after Steam is installed:

REG DELETE "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /V "Steam" /F

But I need to set several other parameters / options as well. Logging into Steam to get to the GUI is simply not an option. How can I set things from the batch file?

Problem with RequiredPlayerRange on spawners

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 02:01 PM PDT

This is on the latest Minecraft version, 1.16.4

I have been trying to figure out how to get it to work with NBTExplorer. I changed the RequiredPlayerRange to higher then default amount which was 16 now its 40, yet whenever I save it and just restart my game to see if the changes applied it still defaults back to its original range yet still says 40 in the NBTExplorer.

went to ahead and checked on the official wiki of Minecraft to find I had to change MaxNearbyEntities as well, though I'm unsure what to do so I changed it to the same value, still nothing

update during writing!

found a command that might work?

/data merge block -1537 39 771 {RequiredPlayerRange: 30}

standing above the spawner and counted 1 block off the Y coordinate

^ this gave me an error: that position is not loaded

Though, I have no idea what that could mean really.

Could someone explain why I am getting this?

Also, if you know of a different fix for the problem, please tell me!

Who voiced Nuka-Girl?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 04:03 AM PDT

A quick Google search seemingly answered the question: Courtenay Taylor, right? Not quite. Clicking on the immediately listed link, the voice actress' Fandom page lists her as voicing the Sole Survivor. Investigating further, as VAs often voice multiple characters, I looked at her list of credits, but Nuka-Girl was not one of them. Naturally, I then looked at the character page for Nuka-Girl. However, Fandom did not have any listing for a voice actress. Gamepedia's Nuka-Girl's dialoge page also lacked a VA credit, citing only this for her voice: "DLC04_Announcer_NukaGalaxy_NPCFNukaGirl".

Finally, it seemed like I found a potential voice actress at IMDb's Fallout 4 credit list, but none of the ladies credited with lending their voices to the Nuka-World DLC (Anjali Bhimani, Corri English, Laura Post, and Jan Johns) were credited as voicing Nuka-Girl.

After spending more time searching than I care to admit, I still don't have an answer to my question: Who voiced Nuka-Girl?

How do I start a game from Steam from a batch file and wait for it to exit?

Posted: 01 Jul 2022 05:00 PM PDT

I have an autohost app for Space Empires which I use to process turns in multiplayer games, but when I hook it up to the Steam instance of SE5, I find that it uploads the turn before it finishes processing!

Here is the command line I'm using in my batch file:

"C:\Users\edkol\Documents\Apps\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 1690 %*

And the arguments that get passed in as %* are just the standard SE5 command line arguments to process a turn, something like this template:

"{EnginePath}\Savegame\{GameCode}.gam" "{Password}" -moddir "{ModPath}"

So is there something I can add to my command line to wait for SE5 to exit before returning?

How much time does it take for a free colonist to learn through experience?

Posted: 30 Jun 2022 08:08 PM PDT

In the manual, at page 34, it says

Acquiring Skills: A free colonist that works at a particular job for an extended period may become a specialist in that skill. The colonist has learned through experience

How much time does it take for a free colonist to learn through experience?

Is it the same for all specialties or does it take more time for specialties taught in University rather than for specialties taught in school?
