title: Why are offduty military training in civ clothing?

text: My military schedule is 2 months Training and then 1 month offduty. I have the uniform option on the schedule set such that they would always be in Uniform, since I want them to have their armor on whenever a threat shows up. There are a couple squads that are offduty, but are in the barracks doing individual combat drills in their civilian clothing. The XBow dwarves in particular are not shooting bolts while training. Just standing there doing ind. combat drills. 1) Why are they in their civilian clothing when I has the schedule set to be always uniformed? 2) Why are they doing individual combat drills while inactive? I verified that the alerts have the squads set to me training alert, and that they have no active orders.


title: Minecraft hexxit smeltery glitch

text: In the minecraft modpack hexxit, I have build a smeltery (Tinkers' construct). it works fine, I can pour stuff out, it smelts the ores right,... But I have two glitches. One is I can't see the lava level when I look at the smeltery controller (and yes I have actally right-clicked, so I see the screen where you put the ores in). But that one doesn't really bother me. the next one however is a real pain. I have smelted multiple metals. Normally, when you click, the metal you click on, goes to the bottom and it can be poured out. When I click, nothing happens. Are these glitches I can prevent and if yes, how? Note: English is not my primary language, so there may be a few mistakes in spelling or grammar.

title: Does Solomon's digging have any effect on gameplay?

text: I have occasionally caught Solomon in the process of digging up more graves in the midst of the battle. Getting close to him while he's digging causes him to jump out and run away. Does interrupting his grave-robbing have any gameplay effect, such as altering the number of enemies in the next wave?


title: What is the chance of being discovered by zombies as a scout?

text: If playing a Scout in Die2Nite, how likely is it to be discovered by zombies and therefore being unable to leave the square? Does the chance depend on the number of zombies? And are there any other factors determining it?


title: Are puppet cities affected by social policies? Golden ages? Wonders?

text: In Civilization 5, when you conquer a city, you have a few options:   * Annex the city, it becomes a normal part of your Civ.   * Make the city a puppet.   * Raze the city, destroying it. (Only an option for non-capitals)   * Liberate the city, returning it to whoever first owned it. (If it had a previous owner) Making a city a puppet makes it a partial member of your civ: it produces gold, science, culture, but you do not control what it produces, nor does it lower your happiness as much as normal. **So, when the city is a puppet, is it affected by any of the following?**   * Your civilization's social policies   * Your civilization's golden ages   * Your civilization's World Wonders   * Your civilization's special trait   * Any other civilization wide effects Finding this out is difficult, because when the city is a puppet you can not even look at the city screen to see what the citizens are working! For a very concrete example, one of the social policies gives +production to each city. Do puppet cities get this extra production?


title: Can I play Call of Duty on the Xbox with someone on the PC?

text: Can I play Call of Duty Black Ops with someone on the PC if I am playing on an XBox? Or do they keep them separate? I could see why they would. A Keyboard and Mouse seems to give more control (at least to me). That may be considered an unfair advantage.


title: Is it possible to do Battle Frontier through local DS wifi?

text: I've played the Battle Frontier both alone and online play, but I've never played it locally. Mostly, I'm interested in playing with my girlfriend, who has Diamond, while I have SoulSilver. Are we able to do the battle tower with each other? Also, there's like an arcade battle room in the Battle Frontier in SoulSilver with a game board - does that exist in Diamond? Where do we go to run through Battle Tower? Is there anything we can't do together because it's not in Diamond? (Sorry if the question is worded poorly, I haven't played DPPt and am not sure what features it does or doesn't have compared to HGSS)

title: Is there a pattern to the order of bosses in the Thunder Dragon's Boss Rush?

text: I just took about six or seven tries to get the Hylian Shield in Hero Mode. I didn't prepare with Guardian Potion or anything; I wasn't that desperate yet. I started with Demise (just for fun) three times. Twice, the second boss was the final Imprisoned battle. I then started with Tentalus three or four times. On all but one of the tries, the second boss was the first Ghirahim battle. I find these coincidences a bit too unlikely to be due to random chance. Is there a pattern to the order of boss battles depending on which one you pick first? Perhaps for each boss, there are more and less likely bosses that follow that one? Is it perhaps possible to choose a boss that will more likely yield an easy sequence if you're only going for four or eight victories?


title: I have hit level 50 and the game is dropping level 50 guns. Are these guns as good as they get?

text: I have finally hit the level cap in Borderlands 2 during the Data Mining story mission. Now the golden chest gives level 50 items, the slot machines in Sanctuary give level 50 items, Moxxi have me a level 50 Good Touch and the various containers around Badlands and Sanctuary are level 50. Is this it? Are the gun drops not going to get any better now? Should I rather wait to hit playthrough "2.5" before I really start spending my golden keys and cash?


title: Is there a way to know if an item has been bought on the auction house?

text: Before you could cancel auctions anytime, you could infer if an item had been bought. Make a search to that shows it. Make the same search later, if the item is no longer here, it has been sold! For example: you search a ring that is at 2h23min remaining time. 1 hour later, you perform the same search and the ring is not here: it has been sold. Now that you can cancel any auction anytime, you can not be so sure. The only sure way to know what people are willing to pay for an item is to watch auctions : you know a minimum amount that the item will sell for. I am asking that to better know the market and not being fooled by overpriced items.


title: Is there a substantial difference between a pet cat and a pet dog?

title: Is there a way to view controller support from my Library?

text: Some Steam games offer full controller support, some offer only partial support, and some do not offer any support. What I want is a quick way to tell which of the games _in my Library_ have some form of controller support. I recently got a gamepad and I'm wondering which games I should install to try it out. The only way I've found so far is to go to each game's page and scroll all the way down to one of the panels on the right. Hardly a quick and easy process when you have a ton of games. If I recall correctly, there is better information on this when in Big Picture mode, but only when you hover over/select a game in the list. I also don't generally use Big Picture mode as I play on my monitor. Is there a way to quickly see which games from my entire library have some form of controller support? Some filter or setting I haven't found?

What is the process to make my activity private on Xbox One? I have went to My Profile > Settings > Privacy > set Gaming & App history to "Block", but I can still see my gaming activity appear on the Feed. Is there another method to make my activity disappear from the Feed? Or did my method work and only "I" can see my own activity?

title: What does the "P" stand for in Super Mario's P-Switches?

text: In pretty much every Super Mario platformer game after Super Mario Bros 3, there is a "P-switch" which turns blocks into coins and vice-versa (and sometimes some other thing, like make special blocks appear). Many people assume it stands for "Power" and some think it might stand for "Paratroopa" because "P-wings" let you fly like a Paratroopa (sort of), but these are all unsourced guesses. Incredibly, as far as I can tell, the internet simply _does not know_ what the P actually stand for! ![The trusty P-switch itself](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zJOJB.png)

title: Why is my boat stuck, and how can I unstick it?

text: I have a boat that goes between an oil rig (Dreningbury Valley) & a dock, I also have a hover boat that goes between multiple oil rigs. For some reason both of these boats got stuck at a single rig (Dreningbury Valley). It's very bizarre: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/e1ZCB.gif) I've tried changing their destination to the depot, changing their destination to another rig, skipping a destination, removing all destinations and starting over, creating a closer depot for them to go to, etc. None of these actions have helped. I was hoping that this rig would eventually disappear form lack of activity, but it still registers a ~20% transport rate for both oil and passengers, so I doubt it's going to go away.

title: Xbox 360 slim with HDMI and Audio adapter - No display

text: I have a new Slim 360 and because I'm connecting to my monitor (which has no speakers or sound output), I need to use the HDMI for video and a RCA audio adapter for sound. Here's the audio adapter I have. As far as I can tell this should work just fine right? Well for some reason as soon as I plug in the audio cable, the picture on the screen turns black. Does anyone know why this might happen? This is the only way I can get sound so I really need to figure this out.


title: How much NCR infamy do I gain from arming ARCHIMEDES?

text: According to The Vault, arming ARCHIMEDES will kill all the NCR troops stationed at HELIOS-I. While that is a regrettable consequence, I really ( _really_ ) want Euclid's C-Finder. So when this awe-inspiring weapon goes off, exactly how much NCR infamy am I going to gain? I want to know where my rep with them will stand after the fact. I am currently Liked. I'm OK (I think) with going down to Neutral, but I don't want the NCR to become hostile to me. Yet. Anyone with GECK access have a good answer on this? (And I don't want to use the glitch involving fast travel, since I want to see the show!) (Will wearing, say, a Legion or Powder Gangers disguise avoid the infamy?)


title: How do I rescue Barla Von's Shadow Broker forces?

text: I talked to Liara who, in turn, sent me to Barla Von who, in turn, wants me to rescue his Shadow Broker buddies in the Dranek system. That's all well and good, but when I get to the Dranek systemm there's nothing there. I feel like some sort of squad combat sequence was supposed to be triggered at some point and my game is just bugged. Or am I just missing something obvious? **Where and how do I rescue the trapped Shadow Broker forces?**


title: Does the Scorpion pistol work as expected with mods and ammo powers?

text: I've spent a little time in the firing range trying out my collection of weapons, which I've mostly ignored so far, and have spotted the Scorpion pistol. Unlike most of the game's weapons it shoots little timed sticky grenades and is therefore my new favourite toy. I'm wondering, does it work with the ammo powers (Cryo in particular)?   And if so are they triggered on impact or explosion (or both)? What about the weapon mods, I suspect the 'piercing' mod in particular is a bit pointless here?


title: Why can't I see all my powers in the HUD bar in Mass Effect 1 PC

I didn't quick-slot them at first and now, after unlocking another power, I can't find them in the bottom part of my HUD, where my powers are. I can only find the ones I quick- tabbed already. What do I need to do to see these other powers?

title: How to build long horizontal blocks in Terraria on XBox?

text: Some constructions in Terraria, for example SkyBridge, require the construction of long horizontal blocks. I only played the game on XBox and presume that building such blocks on a PC might be easier using mouse to position your pointer, but on XBox this is almost undoable: once I have some blocks aligned horizontally and my hero is standing on them, it requires a delicate balance between hero going further towards the brink and cursor in the opposite direction so that the blinking building block (marking the position where a new block is going to be put) is at the right place. Even after some practice it takes me about a minute to build only 5 blocks (!). Taking into account the size of the Terraria world, this makes the task of Skybridge construction on console almost impossible. Is it so by design or am I missing something here?

title: Minecraft, PermissionsEx and how group inheritance works

text: I'm trying to setup permissions on a Bukkit server using PermissionsEx. I've worked out how to add/remove permissions and basic group management, but I'd like to setup group inheritance. The Groups I have are: default, member, moderator, admin and owner I'd like it so that each group inherits from the one below. What I've done so far is "pex group parent set " using that command ive done the following: default has a parent of member, member -> moderator, moderator -> admin, admin -> owner I'm not sure thats right though :/ when i look at the permissions for default, it shows lots of permissions some saying "from member", "from moderator", "from admin" and so on. Have I done it in the wrong direction? I've looked at the documentation but it just shows the command and not a lot else. Any help would be appreciated!


title: Why can I only upgrade my guns to level VII?

text: I was told a new game plus allows you to upgrade your guns to level X. But here I am stuck with guns maxed at VII (seven), which is a boost from V from the last playthrough, but I thought the new game + meant I get level X guns. Why is my upgrade max level VII? I'm at the first part of a new game that lets you upgrade your weapons.

title: Does the "Procurer" and "Retriever" mining barges have the same yield?

text: In Eve, there are three mining barges. The Covetor clearly holds the distinction of having the highest mining yield for group operations, however I am more interested in the comparison between the highly defensible Procurer for low-sec mining and the Retriever for high-sec AFK mining. Do these two barges have the same mining yield? On the surface it seems so, the Procurer only has one turret but it has a 66% cycle reduction in Ice mining and a 200% yield on strip while the Retriever has two turrets, each doing 50% more yield and 33% less cycle on ice. However, when you factor in skills, mining crystals and other equipment that increases yield (or decreases ice cycle time), does one barge outmine the other?

Two small rocks plus a gem resolves into a larger rock apparently, with what I remember as 1000 points. If I keep on going on, will this eventually lead to something meaningful? a boulder? a diamond encrusted rock? maybe cake? Those gems are precious, yo. Wouldn't want to squander them recklessly.

The problem is, when I build a nether portal, pig zombies spawn next to it, but when I go in it, it just plays the spiral animation and doesn't teleport. I think it has to do with my server having World Portal installed. (And yes, allow-nether=true in server.properties)


title: How can I evaluate my club options?

text: Are there clubs worth getting, and does it make a difference? What is the best club to credits cost ratio?


title: What is the direct benefit of levelling up a role?

text: Early on, levelling up a role gives you new abilities. And all level ups, regardless of role, give you attribute increases (which are somewhat related to the role you chose). But once I stop getting new abilities, what is the difference between being a level 60 Ravager and a level 70 Ravager? Does my level affect the effectiveness of skills, separate from my overall attack/magic attributes? Does it affect the bonus that other party members get based on my chosen role?


title: What weapons/tactics are suitable for high-level Cruisers?

text: Now that I have my big, slow-moving, tank of a cruiser - four weapon slots fore and aft - what are good weapons and tactics to use against ships that are nimbler than I am? (Meaning, pretty much everyone). Currently, I'm running the following (firing arcs in parens): Fore - 2 Cannons (180), 1 Beam Array (250), 1 Torpedo (90) Aft - 2 Beam Array (250), 2 Torpedo (90) Tactically, this lets me get a good volley away as I approach. Once we get into the turning death-spiral, I can generally keep the enemy ship in the forward quarter (where all the beams and the cannons can fire). After the shields drop (either mine or theirs), I can turn away and fire the aft torpedos at their weak/downed shield. What I'm disliking about this tactic is that it tends to focus all the incoming fire on the inside shield (where my target is) and to the aft (where everyone else can play follow-the-leader). **Is there a better tactic for the large cruisers?**

title: DmC white screen after gaining devil trigger

text: I'm playing the PC version of DmC: Devil May Cry. Whenever I get to the dreamworld-ish place and get the Devil Trigger ability, I:   1. Defeat the 3 chainsaw-wielding enemies, but not in a single devil trigger   2. Get a reddish glow around Dante before he gets warped back to reality   3. See a white screen, but the controls still work fine, and I can hear the sound of walking and weapons when using the appropriate controls   4. I obviously can't progress like that, so I restart from a checkpoint. This puts me back at the start of that dreamworld, but the controls will now not respond to anything except camera movement with the right analog stick - not even bringing up the menu will work. I've also noticed a patch of Dante's hair at the back right has become white, whatever level I load now. I have the Devil Trigger ability in any level, as well. So I've tried:   * Loading from the latest checkpoint - this just ends up freezing me   * Retrying the level - doesn't change anything   * Verifying the game files in Steam - doesn't need to redownload anything   * Not using Devil Trigger on the 3 chainsaw-dudes Nothing's come close to working, and I know the opening of that level all too well now. I really don't want to lose my savegame, which is the only advice I've come across. Please help.

title: How can I drop aggro against monsters while playing solo?

text: On numerous occasions, I've needed to run away from enemies and retreat to safety by dropping aggro so that the enemy will give up their pursuit. Sometimes, it seems quite easy. Other times, however, the monster seems content to chase me for quite a while before ultimately giving up. I'm curious if there are any general-purpose rules of thumb out there regarding how and when aggro can be dropped in a single-player game (with or without a Follower). Is it merely based on distance between you and the enemy, line-of-sight, pursuit time, or something else? Does it vary between normal and Champion/Rare/Unique monsters? Are there any other factors that go into it? While I'm aware that certain class-specific abilities exist for doing this (Smoke Screen, etc.), I'm specifically interested in the general mechanics of how to drop aggro when attempting to run away, regardless of class.


title: how to fast scope and firing in cs 1.6?

text: I have been trying to improve my awp skills and found out some cool tips in the internet already and I am much better with awp these days but I still suck when compared to some of the guys who I play daily. Of course in the pub games there are some hackers too who I don't care. This is what I did to improve my awp skills   * Set hud_fastswitch 1 command in the console to switch between weapons quickly   * Zoom and fire when I see an enemy in the center of my screen (I some time do it so fast that it appears like scope less fire which is part of the tip/trick)   * Switch to other weapon (I usually press 2 for pistol) and immediately press 1 to switch back to the mag and repeat 2 & 3 However, this seems to be not enough. I know it takes a little time to between each fire but I saw some do it (killing two in a row) so fast in no time. Some times I suspect they hacking but I am not sure how they do it. I guess they use script to do this. Can some tell me legal way to do this?


title: Is it possible in Minecraft to switch over from survival to creative in single player?

text: This question is regarding the minecraft Beta 1.8 prerelease -- I have a beautiful house in single player survival which I'd like to record while flying. I want to be able to change the game mode of my survival map to creative to be able to fly through it without installing a mod. I know it is possible if you run the map on a multiplayer server via the command `/gamemode <user> 0|1` but I want to achieve this in single player :) I think this would be possible through editing your level.dat file as I think that's where the game mode for the map is stored.


title: Is there a way to switch between adventure mode and create mode in minecraft

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is it possible in Minecraft to switch over from survival to creative in > single player? There are times when I'm in a network of caves and I get so lost that I can't get back to the entrance and I'm out of materials to build pickaxes to mine upwards and because of the load of materials I just mined dying isn't an option (because if I do make it back I'll just be lost again) At times like this I want to switch to creative mode and fly straight up and then back to my base. I know it's kind of cheating but I can sometimes spends hours being lost, markings don't help because of just how large of a labyrinth these mines are and I already carry a hell lot of tools I don't have the space to carry anything else to make markings with without running into problems of being able to cart the stuff back home.

title: "Choose production" bug: game stops map scrolling and doesn't respond to orders, but shows tooltips and animations

text: There is an annoying bug in Civilization 5: Brave New World, when in certain conditions game stops responding to your orders: you cannot move units, switch between them or choose their actions. However, the game doesn't hang up - it still shows animations, shows tooltips for terrain tiles while hovering the cursor, the menu can be shown and the game could be saved/loaded in this state. Reloading the saved game during this "limbo" state results in an infinite rotating globe cursor loop. However, loading the bugged saved game after killing and restarting the games loads fine and the game can be resumed. This bug happens frequently during the production changing for the city, so it's widely called the "Choose production bug". But it also happens when you use the ranged attack, found religion, switch between units. Validating the game doesn't show any problems. Have anyone got rid of this bug? EDIT1: If I exit the game in that "limbo" state, I notice that the game executable still resides in memory, playing music. Is this a kind of a sign that the bug is related to the multimedia issue? EDIT2: The saved game immediately before the bug (after the caravel move) is available at https://www.dropbox.com/s/1p859xbfhifgue3/6.Civ5Save


title: PS4 and TV link stopped working

text: I played the PS4 earlier today and didn't face any issues. However I fired it up a few moments ago and all I get is a blank screen with flickering audio. The screen is permanently blank though, it tries to load the PS4 logo but it turns out skewed and scattered around the screen (for a very brief moment) then goes back to being blank. What I've tried but didn't fix the problem :   * Changing HDMI cables   * Plugged in HDMI from a working device to the PS4; still blank   * Tried booting in safe mode; blank/flickering screen and audio   * Turned TV Off then back On   * Keep the PS4 running for a while However now I noticed that this happens with one TV only. I tried connecting my PS4 to a PC Monitor and it ran fine !! What could cause the TV to stop recognising the PS4 ? All HDMI ports do not provide visual output from the PS4. Also, the last update the PS4 received was for the playroom, not sure if it has anything to do with it. The camera is usually plugged in but I don't know if someone plugged it out or something before the issue appeared.

Or which set of cards are good for which hero, for example a set of murloc cards? Something like that. In more detail: I am not searching for some advanced advice how to play the game, I just want to know basic tips, much like the tips that are shown when you start a game. Am I clear?

title: Smithing Enchant Not Working?

text: I have Smithing to level 100, but only up to Arcane in perks. I have four pieces of +25% smithing enchanted gear. I noticed sometimes the enchant doesn't show up so I have to re-equip and then it appears under active effects. While wearing all four pieces I could only improve a daedric bow to 51 damage. This seemed off to me, so as an experiment I took off one of the +25% smithing items and tried improving a iron dagger. To my disappointment I noticed not wearing one of the enchanted pieces resulted in the same improvement. Anyone else having this issue and know how to get around it? If no one has advice I guess I could enchant four more items, but I'd rather not.

I thought it may be based on which side they liked more, but I had my rep at 200 with them and they decided not to join. Is it based on the reason for the war, relative power, or something else entirely?

When I select a game to load the screen goes black for a good 3 seconds, then the loading screen comes in with some lag. When I push 'A' when prompted, the screen goes back to black and the my Xbox freezes (the guide button does nothing). I had just reached the fifth section and talked to Keitner about the gas, I tried to kill the guards and turn off the gas but failed miserably and could never load a save after that. I am aware of the game freezing just before this point. I want to stress that I did not have that problem. Does anyone know a way I can load one of my saves? I've tried loading just about all 20 of my saves from the DLC. I've tried loading my 'Latest Auto- Save' as well as my 'Previous Auto-Save.' I've also tried deleting and re- downloading the Missing Link DLC... no luck. **UPDATE:** I just tried moving my saves to my flash drive, didn't help.

title: What are the combat behaviors of Thresher Maws?

text: In the first Mass Effect, I've had several times where I heard the rumbling and screaming of a Thresher Maw appearing, but when I wheeled around my Mako and got ready to fight, there was simply nothing there. It seems they pop up, but I'm already out of their range (or it's a bug, that's always possible). My question is this: do Thresher Maws have a "nest" zone where they stay and don't venture from? Do I have to keep rolling around that zone for them to continue engaging me? And if there are such zones, how can I tell where they begin and end? I want to fight those things, they're fun battles, and give a ton of experience points. If you're feeling _super_ generous, some tips on how to prevent trivial deaths would be helpful too. I have had a few times where, during one of these fights, the Maw suddenly appeared right under me and I died instantly. Needless to say those kind of deaths are less than satisfying.

title: Best way to kill Craw Maggots

text: Is there some easy way to kill Craw Maggots in the Crawmerax fight? I play Siren and I usually have a friend playing Hunter. I've got most of the legendary (orange) weapons, I prefer SMGs, Sniper Rifles and Magnums but I can use any gun. Armored Craw Worms go down in 3-4 shots from a Defiler (Corrosive Magnum), my Hellfire (Fire SMG) tears down Green Craw Worms in a couple seconds. NOTHING kills those insanely annoying Craw Maggots without a struggle. I know Electric (and non-elemental?) weapons are recommended for them, but is there some trick to it? Several shots to the face with an Orion (Thunder Sniper) eventually kills them but it takes several seconds. Thunder Magnums and SMGs don't help much. Criticals are hard since they move so fast. I've read the Borderlands Wiki post on Craw Maggots (and all pages about Crawmerax) but these things are still by far he hardest part of the Crawmerax fight and they don't die to "two to three" shots as the wiki suggests (at least not with my guns). Is there any reasonable way to kill Craw Maggots within 3-5 shots or 1-2 seconds of sustained fire?

Without replaying the whole tomb from the start, is there a way to just move that item using a console command to a place above the ground where I can take it? Or to just move it to my inventory? I want a risk free way of doing it, up to now my game hasn't had a single bug! Cheers

text: So, as of yesterday, I've been unable to connect to any of four different servers, which work fine for others. Of the 4, three give me the following error:      ![HTML?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tEUDz.png) * * * What's up with this? Why is it showing HTML?


title: What squad members romance together without Shepard?

text: I didn't romance any character in the first two games, but romanced Liara in the last part. Now, I found Garrus and Tali kissing in the main gun calibration room and wondered if there are any other intra-squad member romance scenes? For example, would Garrus be with Liara if I had romanced Tali instead? Would Tali be with Liara if I romanced Garrus as a FemShep? I'm not interested only in this trio, but curious in general: which teammates romance each other in _Mass Effect_?


title: Monsters respawn and loot in Legend of Grimrock

text: I have two simple questions about monsters in Legend of Grimrock.   * Do monsters respawn? This is important to me to understand if I can safely rest or looking around the level, once I have defeated all monsters a dungeon floor or section.   * Is Monsters' loot fixed or random?


title: How can I enable the developer console on a non-US keyboard?

text: I tried to enable the developer console in the options menu in Portal 2, but it doesn't work out of the box because I'm using a german keyboard and the `~` key is not recognized. I tried to edit the `config.cfg` and replace the keybinding from ` to \, but my changes are reset when I start Portal 2 again. How can I permanently change the keybinding for the developer console?


title: Bukkit server - I can connect but no-one else can

text: Title sums it up nicely. This problem is odd though; I know it is not an issue with networking (so I've port forwarded correctly etc.) because I can run a vanilla server and everyone can connect fine. When I run my Tekkit Classic bukkit server though, I can connect via localhost but my friend gets "Failed to login; bad login" and my server log is `[INFO] /88.35.654.33 Lost connection` Server.properties is configured correctly, and I'm running in online mode. What could be the problem?


title: Should I aim to create my own game engine as soon as possible?

text: Early on in Game Dev Tycoon, you're developing games from a garage. After your first couple of games you unlock the ability to research and create your own games engine. The threshold to move to your first office is to generate 1 million in capital which can be reasonably easily attained without ever creating your own game engine. Does using your own game engine effect your sales and review scores sufficiently enough that I should aim to research and create my own game engine as soon as the option is available, or can I wait until after I have moved to my first office and spend more money on a game engine with more features?


title: Is there a car faster then the adder in GTA V?

text: I have heard that there is a car in the game modeled after the "Fusion Coil" that is supposedly the fastest car in the game. Is this just a rumor, or actually true?


title: How do I determine whether features like 'graphics', 'joystick', or 'open world' will be beneficial for my game?

text: The core gameplay mechanic of Game Dev Tycoon appears to be centered around determining how your choices in development effect the sales and rating of your games. While it is possible to gather information about Genres, Themes, Platforms, etc by making notes of various messages like "this genre works well with this console" or "this genre works well with this theme", or "focus on this serves the game well". There appears to be no obvious feedback for features like 'joysticks', 'gamepads', 'open world', 'branching story', 'level editor', etc? How do I judge whether a listed feature had any effect, positive or negative, on sales or rating? Does including a useless feature make the game worse? What is the difference between making a Text-based or a 2d game? Is there any point to including joystick support or a level editor? Etc. I don't want a list of features and there effects, I'd like to know how I can determine them for myself.


title: Are any safes important to check?

text: I've found that safes cost around five lockpicks for 261 or 287ish in loot. This doesn't seem like an even trade. Are there any safes that include gear or something else rare/valuable, or are they always just money and consumables? If the former, which? If the latter, I'd prefer to just skip them. Or are they as random as other containers?


title: Is it worthwhile to make side-firing ships?

text: The Kulrathi start off with armor technology and have hulls that have large capacity on the sides. I tried to design a side firing ship because there are options to have ships "keep enemy at x side". It was too slow and the enemy fighters carouselled around to its weak side. Many weapon modules can have their field of fire rotated to face the sides as well, so I thought this would be something feasible. Once you unlock shield technology ships become fast enough to resolve agility as an issue, but with shields side-firing strategy doesn't make sense. **Is it possible to design a side-firing ship that is as capable as a front- firing ship?**


title: When should I use the Vaccinator?

text: When would I want to use the vaccinator, specifically over the default medigun? The vaccinator has an almost negligible 10% resistance to one damage type during regular usage, which to me does not outweigh the slower overheal build. During uber, you are only mostly resistant to one damage type, compared to completely immune to all damage types. Another question already asked reveals the mechanics of the vaccinator. When should I be switching to the Vaccinator? When is it tactically a better choice? I usually run medigun or kritz, and usually play in pubs.


title: My Minecraft 360 got deleted, Why?

text: Recently I tried to play Minecraft 360 edition with my sister, and for some reason it only gave me the trial version.

It would be greatly appreciated.

title: Multiple Lava Pumps In The Nether

text: I have setup a 4 lava pumps to pump out lava in the nether to a tank in the overworld. Unfortunatley only one pump is working despite having the exact same setups. Is there a limit to how many pumps you can have in one chunk? I have provided a screenshot of my setup.![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TO5u5.png) As you can probably (or not) see, they have exactly the same setups. Each with the exact same I/O's. Anyone have any idea how to get them all to work? They all seem to be pumping but in the three that aren't working, no lava is being inputted into the magmatic engine.


title: Xbox trigger / analog stick sensitivity

text: Along with the rest of the world I've been playing through GTA5. In my attempts to drive "well" I've been taking advantage of the sensitivity of the triggers and analog sticks. However, I can't quite work out how many sensor 'points' there are. The trigger I think has only about two (half down or all down) as I seem to only be able to get the car to drive at a semi-slow speed or full throttle. The analog sticks seem to be more sensitive, sometimes I'm able to get very gradual turning circles in the car. Is anyone able to provide some more detail about the accuracy of the analog sticks and triggers in GTA 5?

title: Are all unlockable characters functionally identical reskins?

text: There are a variety of unlockable, playable characters in _Castle Crashers_. So far, it seems as though all the characters do exactly the same thing with different visuals. Is this true? Do any of the characters do anything unique (e.g., different stat bonuses or powers) to affect their battle performance?

I replaced the new motion controller because I thought it had a problem. Second motion controller works the same. I have one of the first Wiis to come out.


title: Is this the correct Java command for Minecraft?

text: I wanted to run Minecraft and tell it to use more RAM than whatever its default is, the purpose was to decrease loading times when entering new biomes and the like. I saw, when using the name command given to me in this question's answer by Tobias, that part of the line had a section for memory (-Xms -Xms). > java -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -cp "%APPDATA%.minecraft\bin*" > -Djava.library.path="%APPDATA%.minecraft\bin\natives" > net.minecraft.client.Minecraft "yournamehere" However, I wanted a command that allowed me to change the maximum memory, without skipping the login process. I searched Gameing.SE for Minecraft-Memory questions and found  this question which had a nice line of code in an answer that was stated to improve Minecraft performance. > "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java" -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false > -Dsun.java2d.d3d=true -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Xms2048M -Xmx2048M -jar > "C:\minecraft.jar" Now my minecraft.jar file isnt sitting naked in my C: drive to my knowledge, and also I dont seem to need the full directory path to java, or else the first command I annotated wouldnt work. So what I came up with is this: > java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false -Dsun.java2d.d3d=true > -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Xms2048M -Xmx2048M -jar > "C:\Users\Ender\Desktop\Minecraft.exe" When I run it, my Minecraft.exe file runs properly (it seems) and I can login (or attempt to anyway if my internet is being difficult) but I have no idea if the command is actually working as I intended it to. Is this command right? Or is it wrong and just seems as if it's right?


title: How do I change the difficulty level?

title: What happens to in-progress processes when a POS goes offline?

text: I have set up a player owned structure with a pair of advanced mobile laboratories, these mobile laboratories are currently performing material efficiency research on some reasonably expensive blueprints for battleships so that I can later start producing these ships with the intention of selling them. Currently the research process has more time remaining than the expected time remaining for the fuel left in the control tower. Obviously I'm about to put more fuel in, but I was wondering - what happens to any in-progress processes, be that researching or refining or construction or whatever - when the control tower for a player owned structure runs out of power and goes offline? Do the processes fail? Are the materials lost? Or are the current in-progress processes preserved at their current state, waiting for the control tower to come back online?

title: Resilience against NPC's in battlegrounds?

text: Isle of Conquest and Alterac Valley are usually more like PvE than PvP. Most of the time, you are fighting NPC's and not other players, especially bosses. For these NPC's, is resilience useful at all? Or are they just like dungeon bosses? As a warrior, should I put on my PvE tank gear in IoC and AV? In sum, does resilience affect damage from battleground NPC's?

title: What causes "InvalidKey"?

text: I bought the game, installed it and the Ubisoft launcher asked for my serial key. I entered it, and it accepted it.

title: How to use the guided missile unlock for tanks?

text: I recently unlocked the guided missile for tanks. The first round using it was a blast. I ended up killing a total of 36 helicopters, tanks and vehicles. However the second round (and every round since), was terrible. The little lock-on symbol that previously appeared when I pointed at a vehicle, doesn't show anymore. Which means I can't fire. So I'm puzzled as to why it worked brilliantly that first round, but hasn't worked since. Am I missing something?

title: Does a shortage of Uranium affect nukes' strength?

text: When you have a negative quantity of some strategic resource all military units using that resource get a penalty to their combat strength until you get the balance back to zero or above.

title: Prevent tin ingots from stacking in automatic crafting table

text: I've built a system to manufacture coolant cells for my nuclear reactor using automatic crafting table mkII's. The one that makes the water cells works fine, but the one that makes the empty cells doesn't. Through google, I found out that the tin ingots in the crafting table all need to be in their own space and the recipe won't work if they're stacked. The problem is, they're put into the table by buildcraft pipes and the tin just stacks on top of each other in the table. How do I prevent this from happening?

title: Problem with Splinter Cell Conviction

text: I am having two problems with Splinter Cell:Conviction.   * First problem with this game is about resolution. My monitor doesn't support its original resolution. I need to change it to default. Is there any way to change it without opening game?   * Second problem with this game is, when it reaches the main menu, then the game window automatically minimizes. I tried to open it again, but it didn't work; same happened as before. I can hear sound of main menu.  One more thing, that game was working before on Windows 7 32bit version but now I have Windows 7 64bit. Does it matter?

It doesn't look like the world reacts to them in any way. What is the purpose of those signs?


title: Advantage of a slower off-hand for a dual-wield Frost Death Knight in World of Warcraft?

title: What causes some industries to go away?

text: Sometimes I've had industries go away - notably oil rigs but sometimes forests or coal mines. I thought it had something to do with proximity to a city but I have some urban forests (ha!) that are still holding up pretty well in 2240. I also thought it might have to do with the transportation percentage, but I always had a decent percentage (>~50%) on the oil rigs and that seemed to make no difference.

title: How do you trade commodities between cities?

text: My end goal is to create a tech city. The very first city I created I tried this, but soon ran into resource problems. I then started a new region, my first city was mining. When I got to the point where I could smelt, I wanted to start creating alloys (for the later tech city), but of course I needed coal. So I started a second city that just mines coal. All good so far. I have two cities, one mines ore, the other mines coal. At this point I want to send the coal I mine from city 2 to city 1, instead of having to buy it from the global market. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this. I have searched far and wide. Please Stack Exchange, help me out, it's very frustrating. Thank you


title: Turning off bloom in Burnout Paradise

text: I am running Burnout Paradise on a laptop with a Core 2 Duo processor and an Intel X3100 GMA integrated graphics card. With all the settings in the menus turned down to minimum, the game is actually quite playable (although not at a very high framerate in the downtown areas). I have noticed that even through all the graphical options are either off or at their lowest settings, bloom is still on. This is depriving me of precious frames per second I require for getting my Burnout Paradise license. I located a config file in `C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise\Config.ini`, but there isn't even an option for HDR or bloom in it. Am I out of luck, or can I turn this effect off?

title: Is there any penalty for leaving and rejoining faction warfare?

text: I have a lot of saved up LP on my faction warfare alt. In order to cash in this LP I need to haul a lot of expensive material between the LP store and the nearby market hub. However, hauling lots of cargo in an industrial is extremely risky while still within faction warfare as I can get shot down in high sec without penalty. It would be ideal to drop out of faction warfare to haul my goods, then join back up to continue the fight. Repeat on a daily basis. Are there any penalties (e.g. in standing, or a "cooldown period") for leaving and rejoining faction warfare (as an individual)?

title: Is there a Nethack GUI client for OSX Lion?

text: This should not be a dupe of this question. I am trying to get Nethack up and running on OSX Lion, and the QT client no longer works (goodbye PPC support). I found the Nethack Cocoa project, however the tileset is both slow and not very attractive IMO (I was a fan of the smaller, quicker tileset). My question is if there are any other non-PPC Nethack tile-based clients that **work** with Lion (other than the one I mentioned), and if not, any way to replace the existing tiles with the more standard Nethack tiles. To be honest, if none exist I'll probably go back to the terminal...

title: What impacts stocking times?

text: You can upgrade your shops to Level 2, Level 3, ...ect. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but upgrading the shop adds quanitity to your restocking, meaning you get more stock for every restock. However, does upgrading the shop also lower the amount of time it takes to stock an item? Or does every shop have their own stock time regaurdless of the level of the shop. Also, does the _type_ of shop have anything to do with stock times? For example, do food types tend to stock faster/slower than recreation and so on.

Make some delicious leopard steaks?


title: Can ice blocks placed in the nether be used to produce water?

text: The smp server I play on has a general "don't cheat, but feel free to exploit" rule. This means no using /give to spawn water blocks for placing in the nether. However, our admin recently installed the monsterhunt mod and made ice blocks one of the prizes for first place. So, do ice blocks placed and broken in the nether produce a water source, or do they just evaporate like using a bucket of water?

title: Can Park Entrances be Changed?

text: Can park entrances in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 be changed, in sandbox mode or otherwise? That is, can you change the physical model or position of the entrance gates? I noticed that most (all?) of the career mode scenarios do this, and at least one of them actually has _two_ active entrances on opposite ends of the park. I couldn't find any park entrance objects to place as scenery, and it wouldn't let me delete the existing one because I "didn't own it." Clicking the gate does nothing, and there's nothing in the park management screens.

text: I've played Madden for a long time now and I've always wondered about the different colors when one looks at the pre-snap play art for a zone defense. There are usually blue, yellow, and magenta 'zones' and I was curious if they referred to how the defender covers the zone or of if they're just used to differentiate all the different coverage areas on the field. Thanks!


title: How do I get Fangora to drop more beads in Kirby's Epic Yarn?

text: I am trying to unlock the bonus levels in Grass Land. Apparently, to do so, I need to get to a certain number of points on the boss level (Fangora). All the advice I have seen says "Catch the fireballs he spits at you". I've been doing this (and have managed to achieve a gold medal for the level), but the catchable fireballs seem to happen randomly (the rest just collapse into nothingness) and I've never seen it more than once per level, so I haven't yet received enough points to achieve the "Bonus patch" level. Is this a matter of timing? Do I need to be closer to the dragon or something, and catch them earlier? Or is it genuinely random, and I just have to keep catching the fireballs until they give me something to hold on to...?

title: What are the spirit-generating mechanics for Crippling Wave - Rising Tide?

text: In the skill description for **Crippling Wave - Rising Tide**, it is stated that > Critical Hits generate an additional 5 Spirit. Since Crippling Wave typically hits multiple enemies with each use, is the 5 additional spirit generated for a critical hit per enemy, or per use of Crippling Wave? (the same question applies for **Fists of Thunder - Quickening** and **Deadly Reach - Strike from Beyond**, but I'm mainly interested in the rune with Crippling Wave, since it tends to hit many more enemies)

title: Tips for brewing stations in the Nether

text: As far as I know at this stage it is impossible to get water into the Nether. I know it could be done in previous versions with silk touch and ice, but that is over now. And in the new versions silk touch will work on ice, but breaking ice in the Nether will not give you water. So I am looking for a good setup so I can make some potions in the Nether, mostly instant health, splash damage, and speed potions. One solution I often read is bringing filled water bottles into the Nether, but that is just a 1-1 solution, I do not like that too much. I was thinking of the following setup. I fill a chest in the Nether with water buckets, and one chest with stacks of all the ingredients I need. Than in the brewing station I have a cauldron. Now if I understand correctly with a filled cauldron you can fill 3 bottles. So now I can bring buckets of water instead of bottles, so 1 inventory space will give me 3 potions. One thing also is that when you go back you can fill all the buckets with lava. * * * Will this be a good setup, or are there more efficient ways to create your brewing station in the Nether.


title: In X: Beyond the Frontier, how do I sell my weapons so I can get better ones?

text: I cannot buy better weapons anywhere because my two laser slots are full, and I can't figure out where to sell my lasers to free some space. How do I free up these slots to get new weapons?


title: How do you take down a Juggernaut?

text: In my time of playing the multiplayer, I've noticed the Juggernaut kill streak makes someone nearly invincible, especially if two people do it at the same time. Now my question is what is the best way to take these people down? Just keep shooting? Are there any particularly good techniques to kill them quickly? (or at least keep them from killing your entire team twice)


title: How do you swordfight in Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn?

text: I was playing the pc game called Tintin, secret of the Unicorn in which there is a scene where Captain Haddock is sword-fighting with some enemies. The problem is that the only keys that seem to work are the `W`, `A`, `S`, `D` keys and they are only used for defending from attacks. I tried all the other keys and none of them do anything. So any idea how we can fight back during these sword fights? Which keys?


title: Is it possible to change the order of perks for the Specialist strike package?

text: In Modern Warfare 3 there is the new Specialist strike package. Basically you choose 3 perks, and you'll be awarded an extra perk every 2 kills. I'm not seeing any way to determine in what order you get these extra perks though. For instance, I might want Extreme Conditioning before I get Slight of Hand. Is it possible to set an order for when you get each of the perks?


title: Why does my squad get split up when joining a game?

text: I thought the whole point of forming a squad before you joined a game was so that you wouldn't get put on a server where your squad got split up. Multiple times on xbox I've formed a squad with 3 or 4 people, and once we've joined a game, we find out some people are on the opposite team. Is there a setting I can change so it never does this, or is this a bug in the game?


title: Creative Mode Permissions Node(s)?

text: Is there a permissions node to disable a player from being in creative mode? _Read: Not one that disallows access to /gamemode, but one that would prevent /gamemode from changing a players mode._ If there is not a built in one, does anyone know of a plugin that does this? At the very least I would like a _permission node_ that disallows flying while in creative mode. I have searched the bukkit plugins site, for 'creative', and have seen all of those.
