1:18 AM
Rumor has it that TF2 is going completely free to play now forever.
Of course, Valve is being slow at releasing today's update (or the Day 4 page about said update and Meet the Medic) so we can't confirm that.
I HOPE this means they read me comment about the Beta servers being broken as of last update and are doing a last minute fix to prevent server startup crashes.

Q: Is a Playstation | Playstation-3 tag fork needed?

Raven DreamerI just got done editing this question from a generic "Playstation" tag to the correct "Playstation-3" platform tag. It did, however, make me curious as to whether the playstation tag itself was being conformed to in a sensible manner. Results were mixed. You have questions like this which tags b...

Q: Tag Synonym Request: [PS1] -> [Playstation-1] ; [PS2] -> [Playstation-2] ; [PS3] -> [Playstation-3]

Raven DreamerIn doing research for this question, I found out that the Playstation console tags have a bit too much redundancy in the curent tagging system, with their abbreviated forms not being attributed to the full name of the consoles. (Or vice versa. I'm not sure which should be the prime tags)

Q: Identify this game online?

moomasas13It's a side-scroller game, with multiple CPU players. You shoot at the CPU players, and you can choose King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, Campaign (or Deathmatch?) modes, etc. It's probably made in flash and the CPU players are robots. Can you tell me what online game it is?

 
Valve may be pushing the update now. HL2:DM just randomly started updating, and they share some game packages.
Yup, server console is saying server will be restarted on map change

Q: How do trench-mounted flak cannons affect enemies?

GauzyIn Trenched, the Flak emplacements will only attack ariel targets. However, there are some machine guns that have the Flak ability, and their descriptions indicate that they are for anti-air use. Is their effectiveness reduced when attacking ground targets? If so, do they deal 0 damage, or just a...

Q: What determines the weapon a spy disguise uses?

RapidaI'm trying to learn how to be a better spy, and I notice that my disguise seems to have different weapons at different times. My health also seems to change at times. Does the spy disguise copy the player at that exact moment or is something else going on here?

> If you've ever spent money on TF2, you have a premium account. This includes purchasing the game before it was Free-to-Play, activating a retail version of the game, or making a purchase in the Mann Co. in-game store.
 
user30
> Premium accounts have a few extra features, including access to rare and cosmetic items through random item drops, the ability to store more items in your backpack, and more powerful trading and crafting abilities. Otherwise, the gameplay experience will be identical for both accounts.

So basically, all I need to do is buy a 99c item.
 
@ThomasMcDonald You buy the money in increments of $5 though.

Well : spam describes itself as "Not useful but promotional"
 
You get another try
 
Last one could be ok too: does not contribute to community
BTW, you'll hit the delete button no matter the best reason is :P

@Mvy He wants us to flag as spam, so that the post gets autodeleted

Ohhh.
 
Okay there's a bug with the upload button
 
So maybe the spam description should be reviewed then

@badp At least you're getting drops.
I played for 3 hours yesterday and got 0.
 
@Powerlord I smelted the double drops week stuff.
With all I amassed I could only craft the Enforcer.
(Which I did.)
Yeah, I smelt today's drop too, but I got no new items.
 
I know at least one of the new items has ridiculous crafting requirements... 6 Jarates?
I only have like 3!
 
8 jarates actually

Q: Looking for a hack and slash where you could use arms and heads as weapons

Rafael CelerierI don't know much anymore about this game since it has been a while ago. All i remember basicly is that i was a hack and slash game. (Probably point and click) . It was set in a fantasy setting and i remember you were able to pick-up stuff and use them as weapons. For example if you found a skele...

 
hello hello :)
 
@OctavianDamiean Ah, Caesar! I was looking for you.
I need a large pizza with anchovies and hot peppers delivered to this address.
Oh wait, that was Caeser Octavius, not Octavian.
Witness my jokes falling... flatter than usual!
 
Yes indeed, I think he'll have a hard time hearing you. Given that he is dead for quite a bit now. :D
Also we're out of anchovies. Sorry.
 
2:37 PM
Hmm, reserved slots on my server probably aren't working any more.
Apparently Valve changed the user verification code.
Which is a shame, I liked reserved slots working even on a full server. :/
 
Apparently there are no questions about Vanquish on Gaming, which is a bit of a shame, because that game was really quite fun.

@YiJiang Yeah, it's a shame we can't do anything about that either!

Q: What do the different color auras do?

UllallullooSeveral bosses have different color circles around them. On one loading screen it said that the orange causes fire damage to you, and I've fought a few things with a blue-ish one that drained my focus, but I've seen others that I can't figure out. What do they all do?

no eta for 1.7 yet, but i can't wait for pistons
 
No matter how inactive he seems, he still is credit to team!
 
I think Juan's more deserving of your ninja icon than you @badp
 
@Mana badp's the least ninja of all three of us. Which, by inverse ninja laws, actually means he is the greatest ninja of all three of us. Hence he should keep the icon.
 
mod party whooooooooo
fair enough
aww, mod party over.

He's so ninja it's undetectable by the common user
 
fair point
whoosh
 
Hey seems that Dungeon Siege controls are back to normal :D

I'd lol if those were for getting X kills in one life.
 
They're not
 
6:23 PM
Yeah, I've heard they're based on number of kills.
Are they all just stock weapons, or are there variations of unlockable weapons that work that way?
 
No idea
I got that from the translation server
 
Also, why is Totally Ordinary #13?
Well, we know the Strange variants are already uncrating from the new crate serieses
 
Hopefully Duke Nukem 3d The Remake takes less time than Duke Nukem Forever

You cleared the room and are left with 3 HP. What do you do?
A. Load a save and redo the room properly.
B. Backtrack and look for health and ammo
C. Stand still and wait for the bar to fill up miraculously by itself.
Surely Halo wasn't the first game that sort of did this, right?
I'd have to find the relevant page on TVTropes.
 
hmmm, I do want to say that halo was the first fps with regenning health.... but hey i could be wrong
 
> The Ur Example of the Regenerating Health mechanic was the 1984 Action RPG, Hydlide, where health and magic slowly regenerate when standing still. The Ys series which began in 1987 also use a similar Regenerating Health mechanic.

'cause the 1-100 hats are likely gone by now.
and those are the only craft numbers that show up in game.

but I will happily give you some #18 crates for your #21.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Then why do you want @badp's #21 crate?

@Powerlord because I may get something such as a normal gunslinger.
 
@ThomasMcDonald My point was that it sounds like you won't open them.
 
keys aren't cheap

@Powerlord Nah, I have 2 keys, but #19-21 have the interesting stuff in now.

There was one crate type that had almost all paints.

This is why I love C++.
Included header file, check. Header file is in one of the project's include directories, check. Declare variable of template identically to how it's declared in this other project, fail. Wait, what?
and when I say identically, I mean down to the variable name.
I might have to use Valve's CUtlVector after all, despite meaning I have to convert this code to use it (since I'm copying large chunks of code from this other project)

I always wait a bit before destroying TPs, just to prevent the problem you just described.
Unless they're like level 1.
 
I said typo
 
@badp I said
 
9:18 PM
Sometimes when I play engie I hate everything
 
@badp Try playing something else?
Like Pyro so you can burn the Spies.
 
Then we lose because we don't have tps
besides spies are just one eighth of my problems.
 
Speaking of tps, time to teleport home.
Lets see... no changes to my TF2 extension today, so no code to copy back,
 
man, spies have been extra annoying since the update

so in the same life

I build up on the last
we regain it
I rebuild our tele entrance
I rebuild our tele exit
I go back to spawn to warp toys through
I pack up my sentry
I get train'd, with the sentry 3
I respawn
I go get the dispenser 3
A spy saps my teleport
I drop my dispenser and mistakenly open the chat box
I get stuck in the chat box
I finally find the Enter button and send the spam over to chat.
The tele blows
The dispenser did not, however, get trained in the meantime. And we eventually got to the middle point. Then we got in sudden death. And I got a few nice flares. And then we lost.
Engineer on 5CP is as frustrating as required.
Valve appears to be happy with the status quo though.

Q: How do I change my name via the command-line of the Minecraft.exe?

AlanI installed some mods for Minecraft recently, and because of this I can only run the game using the EXE. But the problem with that is I can no longer use the old .bat trick and create a script to change my name. How can I change my name using the command-line of the Minecraft.exe?

 
10:44 PM
Found that interesting.
@badp - they could tie it to wrench like they did with the gunslinger.
 
Yeah but then you need to make the wrench unique too, and design it and everything
It's twice the work. And a plausible build animation is a feat by itself.
Ideas are not what's lacking right now, some more terribad than others
 
Hey guys, I had a post of mine closed for "not being a real question", even though it was answered, favorited, and someone said it was interesting... I'm trying to see how this can happen so fast before I can even get back to it, as no one sought to ask me to elaborate, specify, clarify, etc. on the question--they just CLOSED it right away.
I don't have that issue on any other Stack site and I thought someone here could help me out?
I've never had them closed without first being asked to elaborate or clarify to get help. I feel like peopel jumped on it negatively and I'm not a fan of that.

I mean, I realize I could clarify, but I wasn't even given a chance
Very frustrated with this situation right now.
 
Remember that in general favourites upvotes and answers aren't enough
About this very question how would you clarify it?
Just because it's closed doesn't mean it can't be reopened
 
10:55 PM
I've never had one closed so I didn't know that
I just clarified and made an edit
The question has two parts:
1) Have developers ever stated that some easter egg from an age-old game has never been found...
2) What's the latest for the easter egg of an older game to be found?
Part 2 was already answered
And Part 1 is also answerable. I'm looking for if a developer ever said "Hey guys, I made a game in 2001 with an easter egg no one has yet to find", etc. I want to know there is a declaration of something like this, because it's interesting to see if a developer has a hidden easter egg somewhere in the game
 
I would start by killing the second paragraph then
 
Everyone took it as "Hey psychics, what easter eggs aren't yet found?" I'd be willing to rephrase any part of my question however to make it reflect my questions, but why did it get closed so fast?
Okay, and I changed the title: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/25211/…
 
If you didn't mean it as a question we were supposed to answer then we didn't really get it
 
I did mean it as a question
But I think people ignored the other part of my question and didn't understand what I typed
whereas I have a perfectly great answer to my question
yet 5 people decided the question didn't work and it should be closed?
The answer I got from Denilson Sa is perfect... It's exactly what I was looking for
 
Ok, next up; do not litter your question with replies to comments
Comments go with comments

I can't comment, it won't let me
I know that I should have replies there
but it's not letting me add a comment now?
the add comment link just isn't there...
 
What is the message?
 
see:
 
Please near with me I'm on a mobile
 
No problem, I appreciate all your help. Take your time.
The link that is usually there is just missing. I'd be happy to reply to comments if it let me
 
That is weird

I know :/
I'm just really frustrated right now. I put up a post in meta. My question was answered, yet marked as not a real question, and I couldn't have any say in it before I get back. I've never had a single ridiculous thing like that happen on any other SE site I go to, and I love the gaming one, so this seems kind of silly.
I think I made all the edits I could, marked the proof of there not being an "add comment" button to reply with, and changed the title... there's little else I can do but wait, right?

Q: What does P2W mean?

Nick TWhat does P2W mean? I've heard it used in reference to Eve Online

 
@Aerodynamo okay, post an answer with your comment reply and I'll convert it for you; it's really critical you clean up your question if you want it reopened
 
What do you mean exactly? Post an answer to my own question? Hm
 
Yeah, I can convert it to a comment (keep in mind the usual length limits and the one @-reply limit)
 
I took the link from another stack exchange site
and changed the URL to get into the comment reply for the question
So that worked and I was able to clean it up a bit. Any other changes I can make to it?

Okay, we're close to being acceptable I feel
The second question needs some love however
it currently doesn't ask what you want to know
mainly because it's probably hard for a developer to say "hey I don't think anybody found out about this"
except for very newly released stuff
which is not what you care about
(as you might've guessed I switched to a much bigger gun computer now. I need to be fast though.)
 
Okay
I cleaned it up more
How's that look?
 
I improved the title because I imagine you really aren't expecting people to post new answers as new cases happen, with every new answer invalidating the previous for no longer being the "latest"

Q: How is an answered question closed for not being an answerable question?

AerodynamoSome people jumped to close my post, even though it was answered, favorited, and someone said it was an "interesting question". Instead of closing it, why would you not first make suggestion on how the question can be improved? I feel like this is an important part of any Stack Exchange communi...

 
An accurate question title is very important to have people fairly judge your question so make sure it matches what you actually want to know
 
Great
Thanks man! You were extremely helpful.
 
11:21 PM
Let's see if I can improve the wording of the second question
How about this?
@Aerodynamo yeah, but please understand I really can't use my super vote to reopen here. The community closed it and I'd really prefer the community to reopen it
rather than forcing my hand
all I can do is help you phrase yourself better
You've already raised concerns on meta so it shouldn't be impossible
just keep in mind our community isn't out to get you
I have closed questions too! And I felt strongly about them. I still feel strongly about some (cough fraps cough). You just gotta accept that it's not about you, it's about the question.
Please don't judge the community by how we react to one question, that's just going to alienate the people you're asking a reopen vote from :)
With that said it's 0127 so I really ought to go back to bed and cry myself to sleep over the lack of new items for the engineer
Over and out.

Q: Do you get any bonus for 100% Completion in LA Noire?

Django ReinhardtSimple question, really. Do you get any bonus for 100% Completion in LA Noire? GTAIV unlocked certain things, as I remember, once you'd gotten 100% (although nothing you couldn't use cheat codes to get). Is there anything different in the game once you've unlocked 100% completion in LA Noire? Th...
