How do I get NPCs back into the White Forest?

In pokemon, I've been troubled by the fact that the patches of grass and water that used to be in White Forest have altogether disappeared. I've gone through four months already in real life, so the seasons should have brought about grass? I'm confused because I'm not sure how I get pokemon back into the White Forest.. Does it involve something with Black City? The Bulbapedia page doesn't clarify this.


Taking down 80-X Boxguard and achieving smooth/ghost bonuses

Is there a way to take down an 80-X Boxguard and still get smooth/ghost at the end of the mission? I tried taking him down with an EMP grenade in several different ways (throwing the grenade below him, to his side, directly at him) but every time I would get "alerted" and "hostile" after throwing the grenade or after it detonated.


What's the most efficient way to level up in multiplayer?

In Tomb Raider multiplayer, weapons, skills, characters, and other things are unlocked as one levels up.   I just saw a video explaining how to farm XP and Salvage (a sort of currency to buy certain unlockables) in a solo, private match. So for an answer, I'm also OK with editing the game files instead of needlessly grinding by myself.


Where are the "real" places from Broken Sword in Paris?

According to some people, the locations in "Broken Sword: The Shadow Of The Templars" (Cafe de la Chandelle Verte, Montfaucon, etc) are based on real places in Paris. So, where are them exactly?


Recruit-A-Friend XP bonus question

According to Recruit A Friend Basics > While adventuring with your linked friend or family member, you will each > gain triple experience while partied up to level 80, as long as your > characters are within 4 levels of each other. However I couldn't find enough information to answer the following questions:   1. Is 'up to level 80' inclusive? In other word, do level 80 character get XP bonus?   2. Do both characters have to be under level 80? If one character is level 81 and the other is level 79, do the level 79 character still get XP bonus?


What are the DLC spells/characters, and how do I use them?

I have purchased the two DLC packs for Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 (The Xbox 360 version, if that's significant.) Problem is, I can't actually _find_ the spells or characters, having made the purchase. Where should I be looking? EDIT: I have now found a list of the characters/spells offered in the DLC. I checked the usual shops for the items to then buy them in game, but they do not seem to be amongst the stock for sale. Nor do I seem just just have them automatically either.


HDMI connection with 360 not working, but confirmed to work on other TVs?

OK, so here's a tricky question for someone with any knowledge in this department. I have been playing with my Xbox on a computer monitor for a long time because I have no Wired Internet in my room (don't own a wireless router). Now I want to put it back in my room and plug it into my TV. So this is where it gets strange. I have had problems with some HDMI cables lately so at first when I plugged it in it didn't do anything, didn't even react. So naturally I thought it was the HDMI. I plugged it into another TV in our house and it didn't work there either. So I went out and bought another HDMI cable. Now, I try again on the TV in my room, and to my despair, there is nothing. A few things to note about my Xbox and TV here:   * While watching Digital TV with an AV or HDMI device plugged in and running, the TV gets all glitchy and basically looks like the signal is dropping out. This is not the problem but something to note.    * My Xbox is pretty early in the 360 lifespan, and is from the era of the red rings of death. My Xbox does not fully 'turn on' unless it detects an output screen. It goes into a sort of stasis while it looks for a monitor or TV to connect to, and if it can't find one it turns off after about 20 seconds.  So, I get annoyed at the fact that a brand new HDMI cable isn't working and I take it to the other TV I have and attempt to plug it into that. When I turn it on, the swirly Xbox logo comes up and makes the sounds. So I assume I plugged it in wrong in the way or something on my TV. So then I go back in and try again and nothing happens. However if I turn it back to actual TV mode, I get that glitchy sort of chopped up image that lets me know that an external device is connected and sending information to the TV. So then I connected my Android Tablet to the TV using a HDMI connector I got for it. Plug it in _the exact same port as the Xbox_ and to my surprise it spring into life and puts out an image of the tablet. So I'm super confused. The Xbox and HDMI cable are fine, as I tested them on another TV and a monitor to be sure. The HDMI port on my TV is also fine because everything BUT the Xbox seems to be able to connect to it, including my Desktop. I also know that the TV and Xbox are compatible because I was playing Xbox on the TV about 3 months ago, and it was fine. I also know that somewhere, somehow, they are 'connected' because when I press X the tray opens, and I can interact with the Xbox (also meaning it's connected somehow because it actually goes to 'full turned on' mode, as opposed to not finding the TV and turning off). Any help is super appreciated.


How does reputation work?

Is it related to influence at all? I've heard things about other CSs and civs going to war or changing their diplomatic status with you depending on how you treat other civs or CSs. Is this true? If so how does it work? Is it safe to go around smashing CSs without all the other civs and CSs getting mad at you? I would like to know how this works before starting wars. Edit: How does this effect teams? My sister and I are playing LAN and we're on the same team. If she attacks some city states, what happens to me? What happens if she starts and I help? Also, when a CS says "We have a serious dispute with X, please murder them for us," does that work the other way around? If I kill Y and help X instead, do I get anything for it?


Where can I farm legendary loot midgets in Borderlands 2?

Where do I go after killing Melchiah?

After defeating Melchiah and exiting the corresponding area, Elder God says: `With Melchiah's gift your way is opened. Return to the seat of Kain's ill- omened empire. It's sterile silence has secrets yet to unveil.` But I'm not that much familiar with the game world locations, so I'm not sure where to look.


Why is my Mega Stone not in the location it should be?

I upgraded my Mega Ring and have been looking for Mega Stones, and I found a nice guide to the Mega Stone's locations. However, the Mega Stone isn't in the place it's supposed to be, and I'm sure the location is right. Why isn't my Mega Stone here?

Pokemon X Can't Find Mega Stones

I'm trying to look for the garchompite stone, but when I'm at the spot I don't see it anywhere. I have battled Serena, talked to professor Sycamore after, and appeared there between 8PM-9PM. Though, when I'm there I see that the sky isn't dark and it seems that it is day in the game. I've tried tweaking the time setting and date setting on the 3DS and still won't get it to work. Can anyone help me?

Can't find the night time Mega stones?

It's been awhile since I've played Pokemon X but just to make sure, I battled my rival again in Kiloude city and then went to Anistar city to see if the professor was at the sundial -- which he was not. I guess I must have upgraded my Mega Ring before I took a break, but I can't find any of the stones. at around 8:20 I went searching for the Mawileite on the second floor of the Shabboneau castle but it was not there. I'm thinking of deleting my data and starting over because this is really bothering me.


Can't find mega stones

I have upgraded my mega ring, it's 8:15 and I can't find any mega stones. Is this a glitch? Will i have to restart my game, or buy a new one maybe?

Is the cooldown on Throw Voice shout bugged?

Just unlocked it, if I use the max power shout it recharges instantly, if I use the weak one it takes ages! Noticed in the shout screen the recharge times appear to be written in the wrong order, (30, 15, 5). Is it likely that whoever created the shout entered the recharge times backward?


Progress for individual achievements in Steam?

Are hard tires ever better than soft ones?

In Gran Turismo 5, each tire type comes in three different compounds (hard, medium, soft). Softer tires have better grip but wear down quicker. This seems to suggest that in some long races, harder tires are better. However my personal experience is that the difference in durability is minimal, something like 10%. As an example, if you can go 30 laps on racing soft tires, you get 33 with racing hard. Soft tires mean better lap times, so hard tires should really do a lot better than that to be useful—it seems to me, at least. Am I overlooking something? Are hard tires useful? (other than for drifting or for being cheaper)


Where do meteors usually spawn?

Helicopter spawn scheme

Can someone explain to me how the helicopters in GTA Online spawn (and also airplanes). I had a session yesterday, where it would keep spawning Titans on the Sandy Shores airfield, whereas on another session it would spawn the normal small airplane. The same with the cargobob. Yesterday, everywhere I look, cargobobs. But today, checking the helipdas, it would offer me the Frogger. There has to be some scheme to when what spawns, does someone know anything about that?


What is the highest scoring single kill possible without situational bonuses?

I'm not talking about with some of the situational bonuses (e.g., **First Blood** , **Revenge** , **Chain** , etc.) but a pure, single kill as if you were in the training ground. The highest scoring kill I've been able to get was a hidden, focused, incognito poisoning which nets **1000 points** (with the default score bonus for poison):   * 300 points - hidden   * 150 points - focused   * 350 points - incognito   * 200 points - poison **Is there anything I can practically do to get higher than that?*** * besides crafting the poison to have an additional 100 point bonus It's not possible to get an acrobatic kill (200 points) from a hidden spot AFAIK. It's not possible to get an aerial kill (100 points) focused and hidden AFAIK. Grab kills (450 points) are just not very common and you can't get enough of the other bonuses with it.


Are developments considered at the end or during the whole game?

For developments like "Farming community" or "Hunter community", which restrict the types of items that can be placed within the village borders, can they have had a forbidden resource at one point as long as I don't end the era with it? Or must the village have never benefited from a prohibited resource? For example, if my farming village is on the edge of water, can I place fish so long as I remove them later?


Can I transfer a Playstation savegame to someone?

I own a Playstation 3 that I use with my girlfriend and her sister. My girlfriend's sister played "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" on her sister account until she got her own Playstation. Now, she would like to get back her savegame on her Playstation. The problem is that the savegame is copy-locked, I can't export it on a flash drive. The only thing I can do is uploading on the cloud with PS Plus. So, I was wondering : Is a Playstation Plus tied to one user account ? Or can my girlfriend suscribe to PS+, upload the Tekken savegame on the cloud and then let her sister connect with her own user account on her new playstation and get back the save from her sister's PS+ account ? Thanks !


Why is my army weaker than computer's army?

I (Castille) have 31000 men in my army (20 regiments of infantry and 11 of cavalry). Computer (Aragon) has 21000. During the battle I can see how much damage each one is producing. Every attack from them damages me 300 to 500. I only damage them 7 to 15. Why is this happening? My men have high morale. I'm in my own territory. By the end of many battles I went from 31000 to 15000 and they only lost 3000 men and even regained their forces faster than me. So pretty much I want to understand what I'm doing wrong and what exactly do I need to do to have a successful army. Also if someone can give me some pointers on the game overall.

PS Vita Wi-fi and tethering

Can protoss counter mass marines in the open?

I've been playing around with the Hardcounter custom map to test out unit compositions, but I haven't been able to find a protoss force with comparable resource value that will counter 30 stimmed marines (this is even without medivacs) without taking advantage of force-fielding a choke. With a choke, I force-field that off then either storm them or use colossus with range upgrade to out-range them, but without a choke they can easily run around the forcefield and focus down the colossi or HT's. Speedlots surprisingly worked against an MMM ball but not against pure marines. Even counting gas as worth the same as minerals I couldn't get a working counter to 30 stimmed marines that doesn't rely on having a choke point at my disposal.


How do I get the 'Medical Expert 2' Tonic?

So, just after defeating _Sander Cohen_ , I noticed that I was able to use his key to open _Sander Cohen's Muse Box_ , which contained various goodies. However, next to the case which contained this box, is _another_ case, containing the _Medical Expert 2_ tonic. This case is not locked with a keylock, but with a numeric entry lock. I don't have the code for this lock but something more annoying seems to be occurring: When I approach the lock, I am _not_ given the usual prompts for entering codes and/or hacking. So even if I DID have the code, I don't think I would be able to use it. * * * So, can someone please explain this to me? Is something wrong with the PS3 version of the game? I would also appreciate it if the information on how to find the necessary code could be given. I am **NOT** looking for the code itself, only **how to find it**.


Purchasing PSVITA game / and its digital counterpart

I purchased _Uncharted_ and _Rayman_ as my first two games for the Vita. Already I find it annoying to have to keep going back to my bag to get the game I want to play, whereas if I just installed it or digitally downloaded it to the memory card, I could just launch it. (Lazy, I know. lol) My question is, if I buy a physical game, can I download it free from the PSN store, or is there a way to install it on the system itself from the PSV cartridge? I wouldn't mind trying it myself, but I don't want to make a mistake and buy it a second time.


Matchmaking in Dawn of War II

I have serious issues with match making algorithms in Dawn of War II: Why does it most often group the noobs together in a team and the pros together in the opposing team? Noobs can't win that way. So, do I really have to get Rank 20 before I get a chance to win in a Team Battle? And why are most of my victories not counted in the player statistics? Points get awarded, I even have replays but these victories don't show up in my statistics! Thanks for your explanations!


Guitar Hero game play on Wii versus XBox 360 and Playstation 3

I recently tried Guitar Hero World Tour on an XBox 360 the other day and am considering buying a Guitar Hero game for the Wii, my only console. My question is since the Wii does not match the hardware specs of the XBox 360 (or Playstation 3) will game play be affected negatively? The reason I ask is because in the past I've overheard or read the Wii is a poor choice for Guitar Hero because it's 'under powered' but I have no idea how founded these opinions are.

Titanfall periodic stuttering?

I just downloaded Titanfall because it was free to play for 48 hours and on my i5-4670, GTX 770 Phantom 2GB, 8GB RAM system I get 60 fps maxed out except every ten seconds the game freezes for half a second then keeps going. If I watch my fraps counter it says 60, then drops to 34 and zooms back to 60 again when it freezes. I played the Beta earlier in the year on my old system (Core 2 Quad Q9505, GTX 470, 4GB RAM) which didn't play as well but didn't stutter. On my current system I play with Vsync on but I use D3D Overrider to force triple buffering so that dropping to 55 fps with vsync doesn't drag me to down to 30. The freezing isn't game breaking but it's pretty annoying. Anyone know how to fix this? Update : It's nothing to do with my Vsync settings, I tried various combinations of Vsync options between the game and Nvidia Control Panel and D3D Overrider. It also stutters the same on the main menu.


Why is my closed off space lit up in Minecraft?

I just built this mob spawner, one of my first, and while I was headed back up to check on it the light glitched out and went from completely dark to completely lit. I've attached a video and some stills to demonstrate the problem. ![closed room lit up](http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k464/SemiSigh/1_zps3b8670bf.jpg) When I first entered the room and sealed myself in. ![closed room lit by setting sun](http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k464/SemiSigh/2_zpsc1662fca.jpg) A minute later, when the sun had begun to set. This is a free standing, above ground structure. I made sure that even the entrance I used to get in was completely closed. As you can see, the light from the sun is shining through the stone, despite completely closing myself off. It even responds to the sun's setting. I've had something like this happen before. A small area of grass that was completely lit up at night without any light source having been there. I've tried a range of things: putting up and taking down torches, adding more blocks, breaking parts of the ceiling and closing it up again. Nothing does anything. Does anyone know what glitch is causing this or what can be done to fix it? or am I going to have to tear it down and build a new one? A couple of notes: I am playing version 1.7.9, vanilla edition, single player, on a mac OSX.


Minecraft server startup help

I have been able to download the mincraft server file. `minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar version` However, I have having difficulty running it. According to the tutorial, it says to run: `-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui` by saving it into a notepad, placing it in the same folder as the server, and double clicking it. I did this by using the rich text document as I am on a Mac. No results. So i tried running `-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar`. no results. I am stuck, and not sure what to do next. anyone help please? UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who posted! By sorting out through identified problems and more tutorials, the server is up and running. Although I do need to work out some of the details, thanks again to everyone.


What is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop in Minecraft?

Based on the design of the circuit and on the description, what is its purpose? It says that it transfers the state of D to Q. This means it can store one bit. But what is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop when I can just put a lever on a block? This also can store one bit.


Are there any Minecraft username generators for available names?

I'm trying to buy Minecraft for my son and I've spent an hour typing in random letters and numbers and every single one is taken. All over the internet I see people talking about how many people are registered for Minecraft as an excuse, but I don't have trouble on ANY popular site finding usernames, especially typing in random characters. It's impossible to believe every single username is taken on Minecraft but not on other popular sites. So are there any generators out there that can make available names? My son has been asking for PC version since he got red-ringed on X-Box so I really don't want to let him down, but I've spent over an hour now and there are no names.

What's the difference between the White Tanooki Mario and the regular one?

I am having trouble with level 3-5 (read: I die all the time), and apparently the game decided to help me out, by placing an item box at the beginning of the level with a white and yellow striped Tanooki Leaf in it. While I appreciate the help, and think I look much better in the white Tanooki suit than I ever did in the brown one, I can't help but wonder... Are there more than aesthetic differences between the white and regular Tanooki suits? I can't tell (I am still dying a lot, in pretty much the same places, because it doesn't help me with timing my jumps... XD).

I need help with Minecraft forge 1.7.2 It seems to close (but not crash) forge as soon as it starts. I don't seem to know what to do (this means I have no crash reports for you or any error that pops up :/) I think it has something to do with my computer, ( I have a dell windows 7 premium 64-bit ). or Java I have tried everything. re-install forge, delete libraries, magic launcher, etc. Still closes once launched Just in case here is all my log files. fml-junk-earlysetup fml-client-latest No space for that kind of text. I suggest u download files and take a look at them. (no virus here ;p)


In mid-battle leveling, does that mean you have to have revealed the whole map already?

I kinda get the point that what you simply do for say a level 10 boss is to:   1. attack boss until his next hit will kill you.   2. kill an enemy that will level you up(so you probably need to have 29/30 exp then kill a level 1 enemy)   3. attack boss again etc I try this also but if you suddenly enter a space that you haven't explored yet, you do get the heal but the boss also heals(usually more than what i damaged him...so im back to square one) Am i doing it right? should i had explored the whole map first and setup my mid-level battle? But that means i can't heal via map anymore and must rely on 2-4 health and mana potions. right?


Is there any way to silence the robot companion?

The incessant repetition of "I was just wondering what I could do to please you!" stopped being cute the 3rd time. I couldn't use the pet to heal, because it seemed to be bugged to repeat that phrase every second or two. It's so close to the door of my ship that it chimes off every time I enter/exit. I'd delete the thing permanently if it would Just Shut Up. I don't suppose someone has figured out a way to replace a file or something similar?

How can find out how much memory a game or DLC will require?

Is it impossible, or just well hidden?

What are Fan Missions?

When launching System Shock 2 through Steam, I get two options: ![• Play System Shock 2 • Launch with Fan Missions](http://i.stack.imgur.com/N4XVe.png) What are Fan Missions? I assume they are additions to the game made by fans, but will they affect the main story or are they like bonus levels? If they are bonus levels, would the second option not allow playing the base game?


Can both my boys have a user on minecraft PC.

My son got MineCraft PC for his birthday. The account is under my e-mail and he has a name in the game (my terminology may be off as i do not play the game). My other son would also like to play MineCraft, but have his own name (character???). Can that be done? It doesn't seem logical that I'd have to download 2 Minecraft games. Please let me know how this works.


Steam doesn't show MW2 or TF2 in library on different computer

I'm trying to install my steam games (and play hopefully) on a different computer. I installed steam, logged into my account and for some reason, it only shows Portal. I only have three games through steam. I have Portal, Moderwarfare 2, and Team Fortress 2. Is there anyway that I can get them to show so I can install them? I'm trying to switch computers completely and would rather not have to leave them both up just so I can play these games. Thanks!


Where are the roasted pepitas?

I needed some to make birch candies in order to get another recipe for my sauce pan but I couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up buying 50 from an auction because I couldn't find them in the game. So where do they come from? I thought I saw something that said they came from pumpkins, but I haven't seen any pumpkins either. Apparently they are seasonal as well, but I have been playing since before Halloween, so I don't know what season pumpkins come in except the fall season? TL;DR Where in the game do roasted pepitas come from?


How do I make a thin layer of lava for mob farming?

I would like to know if there is a special brick formation or number of bricks that have to be placed for this magical layer of lava to happen.

I have tried re-downloading it multiple times, but that didn't work. There is no "capy" directory in my library, so I can't edit the config.txt. I'd really like to know whats up. Should I email Humble Bundle? I have version 1.02 of SSAS.


Can I obtain a Lightball in X/Y?

I'm having a very hard time obtaining a light ball. As far as I know, sometimes Pikachu hold them, at a rate of 5%. If a pokemon with Compound Eyes is in the lead, this jumps to 60%.   * I've caught 38 pokemon using a lead with Static.   * I've caught 4 using a lead with Compound Eyes    * I've Thief'ed 5 with Compound Eyes. No light ball. This Yahoo Answers says it's unobtainable. However, I've seen folks in GTS with pikachus carrying the light ball. Any ideas? Is it obtainable?


How do I manipulate the stock market?

With the addition of the various stock exchanges across the galaxy, its now possible to buy shares in companies and futures in commodities. Do my actions in any of the stock exchange areas affect any other areas in the galaxy? For example, if I were to buy all futures for entertainment chips in stock exchange zone, will it affect the prices of entertainment chips in neighboring zones? Are the corporation stock prices affected by anything in the game? If their trading ships were to mysteriously disappear, will it drive down their stock? Finally, can I collapse the universe economy? If I were to buy all available futures in energy cells, can I create a galactic wide energy depression until everyone's forced to purchase from me and I can charge them an outrageous price?


Can slimes spawn in the sky of a swamp?

Okay, slimes will now spawn in swamp biomes. Nowhere really said if they had any other requirements beyond low light (>8 (which if I remember correctly, is math for less than eight) ) I built an 8x8 pad 5 blocks down from the skycap in a swamp, verified with f3. It had zero light and enough space for any size to spawn (enough for all but large slimes at the very least). All I had a show up few Endermen. No slimes did. Any thoughts or ideas? Or better yet any code miners have a great tidbit that I am missing? I'm using vanilla Minecraft 1.6 prerelease in survival mode without cheats. P.S. My whole goal is to not have to track down a mythical "slime chunk", but if it should come to that, I already know how, thanks though.


Darksiders continuously scrolls when I start the game

Everytime I start up Darksiders (the first one, on Steam) and get to the main menu, the "select option" thing continuously scrolls up even though I'm not pressing any buttons on either my keyboard, mouse, or my controller when I have it connected. I've tried reinstalling it several times and it did not help.


Do I need to complete X3 and Terran Conflict to understand Albion Prelude?

I never quite finished X3, but I bought the X3 SuperPack (or MegaBox or UltraCube or whatever it's called) that included Terran Conflict, and so when Albion Prelude came out I got that for free as well. Trying to play X3 and then both expansions seems like it would take more time than I have on hand, but I think that they fixed many of the annoyances of the original X3 in the expansions, so I kind of want to play through at least Albion Prelude. Is there a cohesive story arc between the game and its 2 expansions? Is there anything I'm missing out on if I jump right in to Albion Prelude? Are there any other requirements before I start Albion Prelude that would make it so that I have to play the others first?


Does hard remove all energy tanks?

When playing hard mode I noticed that some energy tanks are missing when playing. Is this all of the tanks and will I be stuck on three health all the way though the game or is it only some of the tanks that are removed? Are there any other power ups that are removed in hard mode?


Is there any way to guide what class a rookie will become?

As far as I can tell, the game decides what class my guys will be promoted to upon receiving their first promotion. Are there any ways to influence this decision? Right now I'm stuck with more snipers than I know what to do with, and still only have a single Heavy and Assault each. If I had played these soldiers differently when they were rookies, would they have been promoted to different classes? If that is the case, what playstyle can I try to self-enforce in order to get the promotion that I want? Or is it just utterly random?

ZvZ: Differentiating between early pools, without drone scout, how do I react?

How do I tell the difference between 6/7/8/10 pools and their variants, using only an overlord scout? Both 6 and 10 pool send 6 zerglings across the map, and have no expansion at the normal time. Yet they each require different responses - how do I ensure I choose the correct one? I'm going `15p/15h/16g`, sending the first overlord to his natural, and second overlord (made on 9 supply) along a secondary possible attack path. Also, how should I modify my build order to counter his build? I'm currently throwing down a spine crawler against all early pools - I don't know if this is optimal though.


Where are these presents in Pokémon-Amie coming from and what are they for?

In Pokémon-Amie, I sometimes receive gift wrapped presents. ![Present received from Pokémon-Amie](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Bw9Pb.jpg) When I tap on them, they open and I'll receive a message like the following: ![Opened present received from Pokémon- Amie](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9GvXY.jpg) The names are sometimes from my friends list and sometimes just from random passersby. Where are these gifts coming from? Are they just awarded randomly? At first I thought they were from me giving out O-Powers, but I've seen them just show up while I'm staring at the Pokémon-Amie screen. Is there a maximum amount of unwrapped presents I can have at one time? Do I have to be on this screen to receive them? They seem to contain mostly decorative items and Poké Puffs.

Unable to pan the camera East enough in Euro Truck Simulator 2

Now that I have the DLC for ETS2, I would like to explore the new areas added, however, I cannot seem to pan the map far enough to the East as it will just snap back to Wroclaw as soon as it gets past it. (See the image) ![Wroclaw map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lSop3.png) If I zoom completely in, I'm able to go just a tad further than the image above shows. I'm using mods, which cannot be uninstalled on a save, but I have tested that the map works fine without mods, on another save. I'm so far in the game that I would hate to start over again and I like the mods I have now. **Is there a way for me to make the camera work?** I'm open to any suggestions from settings files to new mods.

Limitations on trading technology

I can't figure out what the limitations are for trading technologies to my human ally. At first I had a large list of techs to give him. Since we are doing a co-op vs AI we decided to research in different trees and just trade each other new techs. After several turns of this the game stopped letting me trade him tech even when I had just finished something that I knew he didn't have. Can anyone shed some light on this?


Can you disable automatic memories?

I have recently been playing sims 3 including all expansions so far. Generations has memories, which is great, except that everything seems to be a memory. Every time the game come up with a memory, I just click on the close button. For some reason, it gets added to my scrap book. I like the memories that I add to it, but it takes forever to delete the unwanted memories, because you need to delete them one at a time. Is there anyway to keep from having this problem, such as a disable button?

How to find magma in Dwarf Fortress

What's a good way to find magma in Dwarf Fortress v0.31.08 (or thereabouts)? (Preferably without cheating.) I know if I dig straight down I'll eventually find some, but I usually wind up breaking into an underground cave with unfriendly creatures and I'd like to avoid that. Also, I'd like it to be a little closer to the surface so I don't have to build some kind of insanely large pump stack to move the magma up to a useful level. Should magma like this be available on most maps or is it highly dependent on embark location? Should I look 20 levels down and dig a grid? 40 levels?

When does the difficulty increase in Tallowmere?

Sometimes when I enter a room I get the message "Your enemies grow stronger...". How does the game decide when to do that? I haven't found any pattern to it, and it's putting a damper on my enjoyment of the game, because it seems to happen more often the more powerful I am. This means that finding an epic weapon isn't really that great, because it seems like the game immediately adjusts the difficulty so that I'm no more powerful than before.


How do I avoid un-equipping weapons I want to craft with?

When I go to create metal out of duplicate items in TF2, I often find that the duplicate item I want is an item I have equipped. Invariably, even though I have multiple copies of this weapon, it will always use the equipped item copy and un-equip that item from my character, forcing me to re-equip it afterwards. It would be a lot easier if I could just always use the item _not_ equipped, thus saving me from having to fix my loadouts every time I craft with an equipped item. Is there a way to choose an un-equipped copy of an item for crafting purposes?


How do I fix MechWarrior 3's rubber-banding framerate and get it running perfectly?

So I've seen this topic danced around a lot but if anyone has a solid fix, you'd cement your place as a patron saint of Mechwarriors. It seems to me the only, final hitch in getting Mechwarrior 3 operational is the bizarre rubber-banding framerate, most notable when you actually try to get anywhere - you'll slow to a crawl before eventually rocketing off, only to slow once more and the cycle continues. And the really aggravating thing is I /KNOW/ I got it working once by some fluke years ago, but the results have been thus far unreproducible. The problem is it appears to me to be rendering at a constant, good smooth framerate but the actual game itself has weird time fluctuations. It could simply be that because the game slows down along WITH the framerate it only _appears_ smooth but it's hard to say. Looking at the mission clock it becomes extremely apparent, and the speed of the moving overcast sky texture is another good indicator. The physics meanwhile tend to get upset by this rubberbanding time, and anyone familiar with trying to get this game to work will already know all about the 'bouncing APC' problem. For my part, I'm running Windows 7-64bit with an NVidia GeForce GTX 680 under the hood, and I've tried with what feels like every possible permutation of compatibility modes, running it with/without the oft-touted loader, etc. Here's the current Nvidia settings; ![Nvidia Settings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/JUaDE.png) The closest I've yet achieved has been using the Nvidia Inspector to limit the framerate to 30fps, but there MUST be a definitive solution. So I implore you, if you think you've got the answer, bring it on.

What formulas are used to calculate sight adjustments in ArmA 2 ACE2 Mod?

## The Question A friend and I recently began sniping in ACE and we can't seem to work out a proper formula to calculate windage and elavation adjustments. We've tried the One Shot One Kill Android app, but it, unfortunately, only supports a few guns and rounds to 1/.5/.25 MOAs. We've also worked out a method for calculating the adjustments ourselves, but it's proven inaccurate. Our current method is as follows: To estimate elevation, the spotter paints the target with the range finder, relays the distance to sniper, and then he adjusts for elevation using the range tables built into ACE. To estimate windage, we use the formula `Distance / Muzzle Velocity * Crosswind m/s = Windage MOAs` where the scope is adjusted opposite the direction of the wind. The spotter usually does this calculation as he's the only one equipped with a kestrel and range finder and, depending on the stability of the wind, the windage adjustmant may need to be predicted ahead of time or recalculated in order to pull off a precise shot. So far this method has proven accurate at about 1000 meters. Usually we can aim center mass and hit the target within the first shot. Unfortunately, at greater distances (1500-2000 meters) this method has proven inaccurate as it fails to account for elevation. My question now is, are there any better methods for calculating sight adjustments in ACE? We've watched the tutorials, read the wikis, and poured through threads, but we can't seem to find much on the subject at all that doesn't involve largely inaccurate/unacceptable guesswork. ## Notes For the purposes of these missions, we have the following items at our disposal:   * Sniper may use any NATO sniper rifle as long as it has a mil-dot scope and we know the muzzle velocity value   * Kestrel (can be used to find crosswind and headwind in meters per second along with altitude)   * Range Finder   * Dagr (can be used in conjunction with the range finder to find elevation, target distance, and target elevation)   * Spotter Scope (seemingly useless as you can't lase the target with it to find range) We have the following values at our disposal, but don't know if all are pertinent:   * Muzzle Velocity   * Elevation   * Target Elevation   * Target Distance   * CrossWind Speed m/s   * Headwind Speed m/s   * Tailwind Speed m/s   * Wind Angle (in increments of 30 degrees)   * Altitude

Heroes 6 - Dependence between spells and spellpower

Is there any kind of list with the dependence between spells effects and spell power? For example I have Irina (sanctuary) level 19, with 28 spell power. At this point my tsunami stuns for 1 turn. I remember (long ago) when I first played, I managed to get the tsunami to stun for 4 turns (was pretty OP, but that's beside the point). So my question is, is there any way to find out when the next spell "level" is achieved? A table or a formula or something?

Is there an easy way to tell if I desynch?

In Dead Island Riptide, desynching is a random occurrence that seems to be based on the connected between player and host. It seems that for some people, the host not operating the vehicle causes desynch. A desynched player will act normally to themself, but to certain others, but not necessarily all, will appear as though idleing or continuing to perform their last ambulatory movement, like walking into a wall. A symptom of desynchronization is that the group will not be able to progress past a certain mission objective which requires all players to be at a certain location. Another symptom may be that the desynched player cannot complete an objective, similarly, such as collecting all of quest items. Is there an easy way to tell if one is desynched besides asking others if they see the desynched player as idleing?


Do powers 'explode' when re-used?

I have upgraded 'Singularity' and 'Defense Drone' to explode when they expire/get destroyed. Often times, the power gets recharged before even the previous instances self destruct. So if I cast these before they self destruct, will those previous instances 'explode', or did I just lose out on the damage caused by the explosion?


What effect does taking radio towers have on weapon availability?

Right in the beginning of the game, Dennis tells you it's important to take radio towers because you can get guns for free in stores as a result. He's awfully unspecific as to how exactly this works, though. Does each radio tower you enable, regardless of location, make free your bottom-most not-free tier of weapons, or do specific towers make specific weapons free, or what? Furthermore, does taking over the towers have any effect on which weapons unlock (but still cost money) or which customization options are available for weapons?

Bot software and add ons for WoW, difference?

After finding out that bots do indeed break the TOS: > You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:   >  A. use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other > unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the World of Warcraft > experience; This has me wondering about the difference in using addons from the likes of Curse, ElvUI, etc... These are third party software designed to modify the WoW experience, yet somehow come these are authorized while the likes of something like, say, a simple mining bot is deemed "a glitch in the matrix". Granted not everyone wants the default UI but why is it one rule for one and one rule for the other? The likes of DBM makes EVERY fight in the game so easy with it's timed mechanics on raids so this itself is making the user less prone to the full game experience by telling them what's coming up. I don't feel that automation software and addons are all that different. Using my DBM example it automates the way in which the fight mechanics happen by giving times etc. So, from that my question is: What is the main difference between bots and addons in regards to breaking the ToS?


Can I only trade with ambassadors?

I just started playing for the first time since they added ambassadors. My yaks died pretty early on and I wanted to buy new ones, but no traders have turned up. I invited some ambassadors but they require a bed before I can trade with them.. I need a bone needle to make beds, and I need yaks to make bone needles, so I can't trade with ambassadors. Spring and summer has gone by with no merchants appearing at my market stall, despite my kingdom having a worth of 5000. I had a market stall before day 5 of the first Spring, but nobody turned up. Are ambassadors the only way to trade now? If so, it seems I need to start a new save.


is GP10 still a viable choice as support?

With Season 3 here, lots of new items have been release. One in particular is the Sightstone, and if you didnt know this item allows you to **basically** have unlimited wards and a decent amount of health with an upfront purchase. My previous reasoning for GP10 was to make up for the lose of gold from purchasing tons of wards and having no serious income besides assists and the occasional minion/champion kill. Season 3 also upgraded the amount of gold you get over time, combine that with 3 quint GP10 ruins and masteries in GP10 your making a decent amount of gold. **So, would it be viable to change my build completely away from GP10 and rely on assists?** I use Leona, Taric, Blitzcrank, or Alistar when I support (i have others but they are the best in my opinion). Although I havent gone back to Ranked since I started to mainly support, lots of assists are pretty easy to come by. My current build focuses half and half. Runes/Masteries have a focus around GP10 and survivability, while my item build focuses on damage and survivability.


What is 'Arcade Mode'?

In Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage, there's an option toggle during profile creation for something called 'Arcade Mode'. There are no tooltips or anything though, and I have no idea what it does. What is Arcade Mode? ![Arcade Mode](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Fbz7B.jpg)


Autosave in GTA V

I keep saving my game manually with the phone but it's a bit of a hassle. I've been told this game has an autosave that saves after every mission but this doesn't seem to be the case. How do I turn the autosave on?


How to use the wire cutter tool?

How do you use the wire cutter tool? I use Focus and see the wires, but when I approach them, there's no prompt to cut them. I figured they'd work the same as the wrench, which gets used automatically when you approach a grate or other object that requires that tool and interact with it. I also see wire junction boxes near the traps, however when I approach them nothing happens. What am I missing?


Why are there explosions everywhere?

Sometimes when I'm playing Bastion there are small explosions on the map. Not necessarily near me, or near any enemy. What's happening? Am I being shelled?


How do I get the summer theme?

I see that there is an island coming up and will open soon, hopefully. I was also prompted to select a summer theme from the menu. It says it's only available for a limited time, but I am still unable to click on it to get it. Am I misunderstanding this option?


Why did my weapon disappear after i was disarmed? (searched to no end in an area it couldn't have been missed)

I have seen this question asked before and answered as "That can't happen". but this has happened to me a couple times and i assumed i just couldn't find it. however it happened with my dawnbreaker and i was disarmed in the doorway of a room with a hallway behind me. i'm sorry i searched for quite awhile in the small area of the hallway as well as the room. there was nothing else that could have hidden it in any way and i used my torches and light spells to try to find it and there is no way i missed it. not to mention i have seen things disappear when i picked something else up or moved something so i can say for certain that things do disappear (in this case at least the name appeared as i moved over it).


Does Diablo have fast gear switching?

Does Diablo 3 have the feature like Diablo 2 did to where you could have two sets of gear built up, and do a fast switch the inventory? I haven't been able to find anything like that anywhere.

Diablo 3 Weapon / Skill Elemental Attributes

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How does "elemental" damage on weapons work with elemental skills?   >  Is magical/enchanted damage more effective against certain types of > monsters than others? I've been playing Diablo 3 for a while now, but i've never really bothered about the elemental attributes of a weapon itself (for example, an Arcane- based weapon, etc). I know there are 6 different attributes to a weapon, namely: **Arcane** **Cold** **Fire** **Holy** **Lightning** **Poison** But how does it affect the mobs you attack? Does an Arcane weapon deal reduced damage, say 70% to an Arcane monster? What if its versus a Fire monster? Would it deal an extra percentage, say 110% maybe? Is there a chart for this?


How does "elemental" damage on weapons work with elemental skills?

I have a weapon that adds Holy damage. How does this work with my skills that say "Does X% of weapon damage as `INSERT ELEMENT` damage and things of that nature"? Example: My wand does 8-14 damage at 1.40 Attacks Per Second. It has +1-2 Holy Damage for a total DPS rating of 15.4. Ray of Frost deals 215% weapon damage as Cold damage. How does this interact with the Holy damage? What if the two elements are the same?


Diablo 3 Wizard Specific Damage Type Bonus

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How does "elemental" damage on weapons work with elemental skills? Afternoon all, I'm starting to understand how damage is calculated, but have a quick question on item bonus damage. Based on a semi-related post on damage calculation: How is skill damage calculated based on weapon damage? It is stated that bonus damage on items is just treated as a flat damage increase. My question is, if you are using say...Arcane Orb, does an item with + to Arcane damage affect Arcane Orb differently than say Poison damage? Thanks!

How can I kill an enemy under mind control?

I was in a mission and had only one soldier with moves left and a berserker. Since I couldn't kill it with just one shot I mind controlled it. Then on the next 4 turns I got stuck with it, waiting for the mind control to wear off so I could kill it. And when the mind control wears off, the alien gets one turn to act before I can kill it, when it can hurt me. Is there a way to make a mind controlled alien to commit suicide or kill it while it's under my control without the use of explosives, and without rushing it head first to the enemy lines? The reason for the limitations are:   * that weapon fragments are hard to find, and I don't want to waste them by killing it with explosives.   * Explosives can ran out.   * Happened several times that the controlled alien is the last alien alive, and until it's not dead the mission will not finish.


How to know at which price an item has been sold in auction house?

Is it possible to manage Battle.net friends out of game?

I just started playing Diablo III and have noticed that, so far, I've only been able to add friends and accept friend requests from in-game. This is a bit frustrating, as I usually chat to my mates during lunchtime - a perfect time to manage my friends list online. Is there a way to do this? I've looked through the battle.net site and the Diablo III community site and, if the option is there somewhere, it's certainly not obvious! Does anyone know if this is a feature that is planned? PS I already noticed that there's no Facebook import feature in D3: How can I add my Facebook friends to my Battle.net contacts in Diablo III?


Can allied teammates build cities in each other's territory?

I'm playing multiplayer Freeciv. I'm on a team with another player, plus we have an alliance. I'd like to build a city in his territory. This had been possible recently, I think. We have Freeciv 2.3.4 now, and pressing `b` has no effect. No error message shows up when pressing `b` either. "Build" in the menu bar is grayed-out for that settler. Is there any workaround, or an option we missed? Or has this "feature" just been removed from the game by an update?


How to get hellstone quickly?

Shadowmere fell off a cliff and died. How do I get him back?

I was riding Shadowmere near Alftand and I accidentally fell into that canyon near the abandoned tower. The fall was enough to kill Shadowmere. I have done a lot of quests and other things such as fast travel, waiting, and sleeping so I am wondering if that interrupted his respawn. Also if I come back to that point before he respawns, is that bad? Can Shadowmere just go away and never come back after his death? I tried waiting in-game for 11 days in Solitude and then returning to Shadowmere's death point, but it did not work. I do not want to use script commands because I consider that 'cheating' and I don't want to cheat.

Which Mutations are related with which availiable upgrades in Multiplayer?

In the Heart of the Swarm campaign there are some mutations that are the same as some availiable upgrades in the normal multiplayer game mode. But Most mutations are not availiable in multiplayer. For example the mutation Grooved Spines is also an upgrade in the **Hydralisk Den**. I would like to play the campaign with maximum learn effect, so I would prefer to mutate my units like it would be possible in multiplayer later too. * * * ## Comparison list which are _exactly the same_ : _(Enhancements that are mutations as well as upgrades are marked with an X:)_ Mutations in the HotS campaign are:                 Adaptive Plating (Roach)       Adrenal Overload (Zergling)       Ancillary Carapace (Hydralisk)     X Burrow (Swarm Host)       Burrow Charge (Ultralisk)       Corrosive Acid (Baneling)       Frenzy (Hydralisk)     X Grooved Spines (Hydralisk)       Hardened Carapace (Zergling)       Hydriodic Bile (Roach)     X Metabolic Boost (Zergling)       Monarch Blades (Ultralisk)       Pressurised Glands (Swarm Host)       Rapid Incubation (Swarm Host)       Rapid Regeneration (Mutalisk)       Regenerative Acid (Baneling)       Rupture (Baneling)       Sundering Glave (Mutalisk)       Tissue Animation (Ultralisk)     X Tunneling Claws (Roach)       Vicious Glave (Mutalisk)       Zerg Upgrades from multiplayer:               Baneling Nest         Centrifugal Hooks (Baneling)      Hatchery, Lair, Hive         Burrow         Pneumatized Carapace (Overlord, Overseer)         Ventral Sacs (Overlord)      Hydralisk Den         Grooved Spines (Hydralisk)         Muscular Augments (Hydralisk)      Infestation Pit         Neural Parasite (Infestor)         Pathogen Glands (Infestor)         Enduring Locusts (Locust)      Roach Warren         Glial Reconstitution (Roach)         Tunneling Claws (Roach)      Spawning Pool         Adrenal Glands (Zergling)         Metabolic Boost (Zergling)      Ultralisk Cavern         Chitinous Plating (Ultralisk)         Anabolic Synthesis (Ultralisk, removed in Patch 0.16.0)     Evolution Chamber         Melee Attacks: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3         Missile Attacks: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3         Ground Carapace: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3     Spire/Greater Spire         Flyer Attacks: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3         Flyer Carapace: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3       ## The question is: Which Mutations that are not exactly like Upgrades are still **related** to the multiplayer game?

How exactly does the Social Enhancer augmentation work?

I picked this up because I've always enjoyed dialogue in RPGs. However, I can't really be sure that I'm making effective use of it. Most times, the conversation will plod along until I can activate pheromones, and the person I'm talking to gives in. But I'm a bit baffled as to the more subtle aspects of it. Alpha, Beta, Omega types - these light up when the other person is speaking, but what specifically is it trying to tell me? Do they correspond to the 'best' response choice? Do they imply something else? For some characters (like Sarif) I get a little info box describing his personality, and when I'm talking various animations pop on screen, like a heart, lungs, what I imagine is epidermis - but there's little indication as to what these mean. For others, I only get the Alpha, Beta, Omega boxes (like O'Malley). In short, I feel like I'm getting results because I can just use the pheromones to get what I want, but I want to understand why.


Is all raw product always moved to an industry building?

In Tropico, let's say I have a number of tobacco farms, happily exporting tobacco. Then I build a cigar factory. At this point my teamsters start moving tobacco to the cigar factory, instead of the dock. However let's say I have more tobacco farms than my cigar factory can possibly process. Will the teamsters keep moving all tobacco to the cigar factory, letting it pile up? Is there a point at which they will start moving some directly to the dock? I'm playing Tropico 3, but I'm guessing the result will be similar for all the Tropicos. And I'm really asking about all industries, not just tobacco.


What Is The Best Level To Find Redstone At?

I am currently trying to build a piston elevator in my single player world and I need about 200 blocks of redstone to complete it ("For the back wall"). I already have enough redstone for about 90 blocks but I think I could find more mining at a different level other that 11-12 (Which is the recommended level to find diamonds). If that is true I need to know what the level with the most redstone is. Thanks!

Why should I use a bound sword?

I am playing my first character in Skyrim and I decided that I want to focus on conjuration. Up to now I used swords for close combat situations and transitioning into a bound sword seems to be a good choice. I looked up the damage a bound sword can inflict and it seems like that even the mythic version cannot do more than 14 damage per hit. My current sword already has a damage value of 35, more than double of the bound mystic sword. In addition I lose the possibility to enchant the sword or improve it through smithing. On the upside I can use the perk to automatically cast soul trap which I really like. I can also use the bound sword to improve my conjuration skill. I don't use any skill boost tricks, so I need to level up conjuration naturally and the bound sword comes in handy for that. Are those upsides enough to invest into the use of bound weapons? The lack of damage seems to be a real issue.


What is the full list of log entries in Analogue: A Hate Story?

I don't feel like playing through the whole game again for just one entry.

Pokemon TM upgrade from evolve chart

_Blastoise_ doesn't normally learn **Blizzard** nor **Ice Beam** , by leveling up. But if you teach it **Bubble beam** when it was still a _Squirtle_ , it will learn the two said moves. It seems that Bubble Beam also gets an upgrade from pokemon that evolves thus allowing you to learn those two other moves a pokemon wouldn't normally learn by simply leveling up. With that said, is there any sites that shows a list of these moves upgrade from evolving pokemon? EDIT: This was on the generation 1 (Pokemon yellow to be exact)

Is replaying the final mission enough to finish the campaign, if half of my campaign was done offline?

Starcraft 2, Heart of the Swarm. So about halfway through the campaign, I begun having a terrible internet connection. So I finished most missions offline. Including the final mission. Naturally, I didn't get the "Campaign Completed" achievement. Now that my internet is fine again, I found a save file of the final mission, which was almost finished. So I loaded it and finished while properly connected to battle.net. I was expecting to get the achievement, but I didn't. Actually, I didn't get any of the three possible achievements (and I should have). I suppose that it is because the save file is of offline origin. So I plan to load the save file, go to the leviathan, and play the final mission on casual difficulty to just get the thing finished and get my damn achievement for once and for all. **Will this work? Considering that there are _other_ campaign missions that were also completed during offline gameplay?**

Can anyone help me out if there is any other way to exchange/use the card with a Saudi account?


Some excellent items may be permanently destroyed unless I act. What should I do?

In Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, I'm on a level with a vault. The vault contains stone-walled rooms that I still haven't found a way to enter. I've cleared the rest of the level though. I heard one single solitary slurping sound. Then I walked around and searched for maybe 50 or 100 more turns. I haven't heard any more slurping sounds. I fear that the vault contains really good generated items. Acquirement-class items. Plus, Crawl doesn't allow save scumming. So if the jelly eats the items, they'll be deleted from my savefile too. I'll never be able to get those items. What should I do? (Note: My character isn't a follower of Jiyva.)


How can I use the strategic map to ease macro in CoH?

There is a nice strategic map popping up when hitting `NUM0` that displays all available units of your own as well as points of strategic relevance and discovered enemy troops. This is already nice from a tactical point of view, but I heard it is also possible to use this map to gain an advantage by making macro easier. How?


When should I retreat a unit in CoH?

It is possible to have units retreat to your base at any time. Retreating will cancel all negative effects as well as increase defense values and movement speed. However, the unit cannot be controlled until it reached the base via a more or less random path. Failing to retreat a unit, especially when pinned down, often results in the loss of the whole group. Retreating too early loses offensive strength in battle. How do I recognize the best time to issue the command?

What/where are the treasure maps that I can find?

I was just browsing through some of my statistics for the game, and when you go into **Options** > **Stats** > **Exploration** the first thing listed there is **Treasure Maps Found** and I have a 0% there. When I first saw it I thought of the Smugglers missions in The Bayou which revealed a bunch of treasure chest locations, but I've already completed all of those and this still says 0% next to it. Where are these treasure maps I can find and what all do they actually reveal to me?


How does the day/night cycle in Bravely Default work?

Bravely Default has a Day/Night cycle that affects the appearance of towns, dungeons and the overworld, as well as certain story events and monster that appears in the overworld. It is sometimes desirable to change the time to day or night, for instance, to farm certain monsters or to advance the story, or to view the time. Is there any way of doing this, other than sleeping in an inn, which will always set the time back to day?

Minecraft save-all timer

I have recently found that my MC world does not auto-save (Don't answer on how to do that), so I have to /save-all every 5 minutes or so. However, I have created a timer hooked up to a /save-all command block. Note that all repeaters are set to max delay. ![/save-all timer](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WXZW6.jpg) Basically, what happens is, there is a redstone signal passing through the repeaters. When it reaches the end, it hits out a command block and loops around back to the starting which goes through the timer again. **I have timed this as 2:24.** Is there a much efficient design to the timer or any part of the structure?   Is there also a way to increase the time without changing a major part of it? Please don't suggest any latchology as I am terrible at it.

How can I teleport to an unloaded entity?

I am using invisible invulnerable ArmorStands to create "warps" and "homes" in a map. The idea is that I can spawn them in with a specific name, and then teleport a player back to them like this:               /tp @p @e[name=PlayerHome,type=ArmorStand]      **These warps/homes need to be able to be moved, so I cannot just use static coordinates.** The ArmorStand method was working fine at first, however I have noticed that if the entity is not within spawn chunks or a radius of the player, I cannot teleport or interact with it in any way. Is there any way I can teleport to a far-away entity? Or have it become loaded first? I was thinking of doing something with /spreadplayers, which loads chunks that entities are spread to, but I cannot get it to target the unloaded ArmorStand.


Do I still get a free satellite if I skip the tutorial?

My first game was Classic Ironman, and things went pretty well for a while. I got a free satellite at some point during the tutorial and even managed to survive for a few missions afterwards! Then all my veterans got wiped out on a bomb disposal mission, and my next two teams of redshirts got wiped out in the next two missions. It was pretty much game over. Since then, I've started probably 15 new games of Classic Ironman, skipping the tutorial, and in a few of them I've made it a few missions past the first UFO crash before giving up and restarting after calamity fell. However, I never seem to get a free satellite in these non-tutorial games. I don't specifically remember what triggered the free satellite in the tutorial, so maybe I just haven't gotten far enough. Or, in some games, I'd already been building one, so maybe it wouldn't give me a free one since I didn't have extra satellite uplinks. Or maybe if you skip the tutorial, you just don't get one at all! I'd like to know if you get a free satellite if you skip the tutorial, and if so, what conditions have to occur for that to happen.


Fable: The Lost Chapters Quests Stuck

I am playing Fable: The Lost Chapters on the PC, and I have a couple of quests that will just not get out of my quest log. The book quest is one and the chicken kicking is the other.

Am I missing something or are they just stuck in my quest log?

Is it ok to build a wall not on main's, but on natural's choke?

I play Terran and in 1v1 most of the time I wall up aganist Protoss and Zerg. Recently it came to my mind that instead of building a wall on main's choke I can build it at natural's, thus protecting them both. Of course, this is not applicable to all maps, but, for example, on Blistering Sands building wall and concentrating units on natural's choke seems a good idea to me, because 1) I better protect the natural 2) My units are concentrated closer to the enemy 3) I can quickly intercept the force that is trying to destroy rocks at backdoor. Are there any disadvantages to this tactic? I can think only of one: in case of drop it's farther for my units to run. But given that I usually try to detect and intercept/anticipate drops, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.


Can redstone torches provide enough light to prevent monster spawning?

I know that redstone torches are dimmer than normal (coal) torches. ~~I also know that someday torches won't last forever and we will need to craftlanterns.~~ But today I got an idea... I have tons of redstone dust, and I was wondering how much light can redstone torches provide. Do they provide enough light to prevent monster spawning? Would it be viable to use redstone torches for general illumination?

Metal Slug 3 won't work on MacMame

I have recently downloaded the game emulator MacMame to play Metal Slug 3. I got MacMame to work, but when I downloaded the Metal Slug rom, it will show up in the game directory, but when I click on it to play, it says files are missing. I did some research and found that you also needed a Neo Geo BIOS to play, so I downloaded the file and put it in. I tried to play Metal Slug again but it did not work - I got the same error, that files are missing. Any suggestions?


How do you counter a mangudai and paladin combo?

I am fairly new to Aoe2 . I just started playing multi-player game mode with my friend and he always takes me out in imperial age with Elite mangudai and a Paladin combo. He also micro-manages these units so they constantly work together against my forces. I don't have a favorite civilization, so anything that gives me an upper hand against this combo will be useful.


How do I move the boulder in the labyrinth for the game Cave Story

I've looked around the labyrinth quite a bit and I can't figure out how to move the boulder in the final room. When I go in the room and check the boulder, it says I might be able to move it with the help of someone else. Just outside of that room is a teleporter that doesn't work. There is another room earlier in the labyrinth filled with nice creatures and another broken teleporter. I can't seem to successfully do anything in any of those rooms. What am I missing?


What's this exact quote from Lost Eden?

I don't know if anyone remembers this beautiful adventure game from the 90s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Eden If so, can you tell me this quote the archivist dinosaur says to Adam, the main character, when talking about the frescoes that tell of a time when humans built edifices with the help of dinosaurs? What I remember of the quote is: "Graa is dead. But the..." It's a fantastic game with a great script and I'd love to know how the quote ends.


Rendering artifacts (flickering/z-fighting in scope)

It appears that a lot of people have issues with flickering when using high powered scopes in BF3. The artifacts look like z-fighting issues, probably related to the large viewing distances when using 8x and 12x magnification. Short distances between close models, or models and their decals gives z-fighting and as a result, flickering, see for example There are lots of discussions about this issue on various internet sites, often mentioning graphics memory limitations, overheating and overclocking issues. I don't buy it though, since it pretty much appears consistently across a wide range of graphics cards and drivers. The only way I can imagine it is memory related, is if the depth buffer can be larger if there is more memory, but I find that hard to believe. I also know the problem exists in past Battlefield titles as well as many other games.   * Is a known issue with many fps game engines, when using large viewing distances? is there a good technical explanation somewhere? Games that do not have this issue, what are they doing differently?   * Is there a known way of predicting this problem in BF3 (i.e. a known combination of hardware drivers and settings that will cause the problem)? In other words: can it be fixed?   * Is there a way to dig deeper, e.g. see the formats of various depth/stencil buffers displayed inside the game?

I have just set up a new Minecraft server and was wondering: how do I put myself in creative and no one else? Is this a Bukkit plugin or can I do this without Bukkit? Remember I just want me to be in creative.
