Q: building under water in minecraft

JaredHi all Whats the easiest or quickest way to build bases under water? stopping every 15 seconds for air is becoming very infuriating. Are there mods or something I can do speed up the process or even just perhaps allowing me to stay under water longer. At the moment, I build a grid of how many b...

Q: Are the Dungeon Siege games story driven?

Michael StumHope it's on topic: I'm wondering what kind of game the Dungeon Siege games are - are they Story heavy like Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age or Neverwinter Nights? Or are they more action grinders with a light story and focus on re-playability through map generation?

Q: How much AP does it cost to launch the catapult with the calibrated catapult built?

MespiaI know the normal catapult uses 4AP to launch an object into the desert, but I can't find the AP cost for the calibrated catapult anywhere. Is it 3AP? 2AP? I'd rather not build it and find out. None of my towns are every planning on building the catapult, but I'm curious.

@failbadp That's not what @Grace says...
 
Wow. That's Minecraft.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Texture Pack. NAOW.
@LessPop_MoreFizz "I used to have a life. Now I have Minecraft."
 
@GnomeSlice No Idea. It's from one of the Reddit SMP servers
 
It definitely looks like an HD texture pack.
Hah! I just noticed the sign that says "U MAD GEH".
Actually, it says "U MAD....UEH" ?
My apologies, @Oak. I hadn't seen that topic before.

@GnomeSlice It had to have been rendered outside Minecraft (isometric view), so the "textures" aren't from the game.
@Feeds I don't get it, so porn stars use aliases of the form [pet-name] [home-street]?
actually it's not isometric, nevermind, but it's still way higher up than you could get in the game afaik

Q: Mysterious Disappearing Bridge, or how can I get it back?

aslumSo I had a bridge linked to a switch. The switch was pulled, and the switch was dismantled while pulled (and the linked bridge was retracted). I'd assumed that the bridge would extend or I'd be able to link it up to a new switch... am I out of luck? My mechanic keeps suspended the link job. Do I ...

@StrixVaria If you lurk on TASVideos.org there'll probably be some resource or a forum post with all about it

Q: Enabling mouse 3 in Bloodline Champions with logitech mouse.

I have never had a problem using this setup in any other game. Only the normal mouse 1 and mouse 2 buttons are working. I have tried the default Logi...

Q: Installing pre ordered game from Steam as soon as possible

Shadow WizardI have pre ordered The Witcher 2 some while ago with my Steam client. So far so good. The game should be released to public on May 17th 2011 - great. Now for the questions: Can I somehow "schedule" the game installation so that it will install itself when available? If can't schedule, I fear ...

Q: How to build a TNT Cannon with adjustable range and direction?

mbxSo far I've seen different cannon designs such as basic guns, animal gun and the infamous 360 Gun. But what is an as easy as possible gun desing with big range covering an angle of about 90 deg?

 
@GnomeSlice It's not a texture pack. I'm guessing they took the world file and loaded it into 3d modeling software and applied a bunch of fancypants lighting effects.
 
yeah, that must be it. The Minecraft engine just can't do directional shadows
also torches glow a hell of a lot
there's generally a ton of bloom

Q: Space sim with consequences?

SamCan anyone tell me the name of a space fighter sim (similar to Wing Commander or X-Wing) from the mid-nineties? The relevant information was your actions has real in-game consequences. On one mission, for example you go out with your "good-guy" squad to blast some "bad-guys" and you could follo...

Q: What is a "Battle Video" and how do I watch one?

StrixVariaFor an example of context, see this forum post. The user references a "battle video" by number (in the format XX-XXXXX-XXXXX). Obviously this is meant as some kind of public number to be put in somewhere to watch that specific battle. How does this work? Where can I watch battles referenced l...

@Oak I was talking about the fact that I added to a question.
 
6:04 PM
I see there are a number of shortcuts to getting to the Aperture Science login pages on the games that have them for the Valve Arg. Guess what I'm going to be doing after work!
 
@Powerlord ?
 
@GnomeSlice How did you... er... I mean of course not!
Ever take a look at some code and thing "wtf was I on when I wrote this?"
I did that this morning while working on a TF2 plugin.
Turning a 20+ line function into a 6 line function iirc... that includes the error logging.
 
6:39 PM
Bleah, I need to change which plug my USB cable to my monitor is connected to... stupid bad ports on this model computer...
If I disconnect, I probably unplugged the wrong cable or hit the power switch or something.

Q: Are any of the Silent Hill Games related ? No Spoilers please

(seeing as there are 8? games now ive found it hard to keep track of everything thats going on in the world of S...

Q: How to access squad members' additional outfits

M. Travis VolkerI've unlocked outfits for Jacob and Miranda. How do I access them?

 
7:56 PM
I really want @Bob to get a name change.
 
@BobTheBuilder ? @AlienButler? @Butler?
 
@Butler might work. Maybe we could just go with @ServBot too.
 
@Macha Or maybe @Bacon ?
@GnomeSlice ServBot! Excellent choice!
 
@Powerlord Well, that's what his avatar is.
 
@GnomeSlice I know, I'm the one who suggested that avatar as I recall. ;D
 
7:59 PM
@Powerlord How are your Bacoholics Anonymous sessions going?
 
@Powerlord Nice work. :)
 
@Macha Terrible... I had a... Double Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich at a Subway last week. :(
(It's a new thing on their menu here)
 
Or maybe @Master Control
Although, I suppose that would apply more to SuperUser, or ServerFault.
 
8:12 PM
Alternatively:
Obviously, you'd need to crop it.
 
@GnomeSlice Shouldn't it be just MCP? ;-)
 
@Fabian @MCP would be fine.
But again, this probably applies more to SuperUser/ServerFault than gaming
 
But I probably shouldn't change the feed name without asking a gaming moderator
 
That might make a certain @failbadp angry.
 
@Fabian :O Why not?
 
8:19 PM
@Fabian what to?
 
@failbadp See the discussion above
 
Ingame; can't
 
Probably Bacon or ServBot
 
-1 to Bacon
Servbot is what it originally was
 
@failbadp @MCP? :P
 
8:20 PM
There is no edit history for those name changes or? ;-)
 
there's the transcript

↑ why we can't have nice things
 
I mean you can't see who changed the name to something terrible
 
@Fabian I'll default to blaming you, no worries
mainly because I can't blame @ArdaXi
 
But you couldn't blame him anyway as he can't edit feed user names
 
@Fabian STOP MAKING SENSE!
;)
 
8:25 PM
@failbadp Really though... "Bob"??
 
Deliciously anticlimatic
 
It's unfortunate that the bot only gets the small avatar, part of the name is cut off
 
Why not ServBob?
 
'Bob' is a One Size Fits Allâ„¢ name
 
@failbadp Check the new name
 
8:27 PM
My problem with @Bob is that I didn't even realize it was the feeds bot for a few weeks.
 
@ARDAXI!!!!!11111eleventy
 
"Recent Questions - Gaming - Stack Exchange posted by Blame@badp "
 
@GnomeSlice We should change the feed to a random user name + avatar, just to confuse people
 
@Fabian Hah!
 
Lets rename the bot "badp"
:D
See how long until people notice that badp is the news bot. :D
 
8:28 PM
Unfortunately
> People keep arguing about my name. Servbot, Servbob, bob, blamebadp, ... why can't people accept me for what I am and the news I bring?
is not a valid user name
 
That's a plain shame.
 
Based on feedback the bot username is now 'bob'
hides
 
@failbadp How about Pkaamn.S,S,b,b...wcpamfwIaatnIb?

Can we leave the name empty? ;-)
 
8:35 PM
@Ghast
(Awaits 'trololol's)
Wait, I think I may have it...
@Dispenser? :D
 
@fail What happens if I suspend the feed user?
 
@Fabian Terrible things.
 
Wow... Nice Minecraft render.
 
@Macha Someone linked that in here yesterday.
 
Really? :(

Can anyone tell what the sign with the picture of Australia on it says?
 
Like him
"u mad der"
Presumably the last word was not derp, given it is nerd.nu, but it wasn't finished.
 
Some people have way too much time on their hands.
 
cough You're in a chat room populated with volunteers who answer questions about video games.
 
8:44 PM
@Brant And we are doing other things most of the time we're in here.
 
@Macha It looks like "U MAD EUH"
I still think @Bob should become the MineCraft Dispenser.
 
Server is c.nerd.nu, go check the sign out :p

Q: Where are Multiplayer Profiles Stored?

HarpalHi, Are multiplayer profiles stored locally with my gamer tag on my console? Or are they stored on the games host server? For example if I recovered my gamer tag on another console to play Crysis 2 or Halo will I have to start from scratch again or will my multiplayer profile be transferred over?

 
9:29 PM
@Fabian No, it reverts to 'Feeds'
 
Silly mods and their abuse of powers to rename Feeds to other things.
 
Dispenserrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I still don't have the "10 sentry kills" achievement and I have engi milestone 3 (IIRC)

@failbadp what's the syntax for posting links in comments?
(other than simply posting the straight URL?)
Anyone can answer that, if you know it.
 
[foo](http://bar)
 
user30
unless it's a multiline message, in which case it would fail miserably.
 
Damn. It's a multiline message.
oh. Is it my spaces that are doing it? tries that
Eureka.
And thus I vanished.
 
10:39 PM
Multiline messages aren't parsed for markdown.

Q: What is the point of PvM in UO?

NektariosI played UO several years ago with some friends and it was fun and everything, but it seemed like there was literally almost nothing to do except PvP. However I was pretty twinked out, I supposed, maybe this is why PvM didn't seem that useful? Still, I played a considerable amount and found alm...
