Q: Having Difficulties with Mods On Pc

AshleySo I downloaded mods a few minutes ago (aka Advanced Capes, Not Enough Items, Rei's Mini Map, and Simply Sit all for 1.7.10) but all that pops up when I try to launch the game, a whole bunch coding comes up. Should I delete everything? I'd rather not, but I will if I have to.

 
Holy crap. The soundtrack on To The Moon
O.O
It's amazing
 
Hmm... Theory of Everything, The Hobbit, Night at the Museum, or Exodus?
 
12:26 AM
Nononononono
Stupid friggin steam.
Why...
Had to force reboot my PC 'cause it was frozen ... and all of my downloaded games have magically disappeared
Curse you Steam
Argh
 
12:42 AM
After nine years, the best source of "truthiness" is coming to an end. Congratulations @StephenAtHome. http://t.co/JXAj5ATaxz
Doesn't Twitter usually onebox?
Oh, it doesn't work on https
Anyway, tonight is the last episode of The Colbert Report.

Yoga is my most favourite thing. Seriously, I come home exhausted from it every week but in the best way :D
 
Steam checkout, why you no load?
LET ME THROW MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN
 
@Powerlord :(
 
user15026
Okay, the part where they show you ALL THE THINGS FROM YOUR WISHLIST that are on sale is just aaaaaaaaaa
 
@RPi_Awesomeness set it to download those games and let it verify files
 
user15026
12:57 AM
But so far nothing makes me super go yay
 
user15026
so my wallet is safe from games for the evening
 
@AshleyNunn Help me choose a movie.
You have roughly one hour.
 
user15026
@Yuuki What are your choices?
 
@AshleyNunn Theory of Everything, The Hobbit, Night at the Museum, Exodus, or just stay at home and do something else.
 
@Chippies I did. The files are flat out gone
steamapps folder is empty, aside from the ones downloading
I've force rebooted in the middle of a game before and this has never happened
 
user15026
12:59 AM
oooh, the theory of everything sounds good, as does the Hobbit
 
@RPi_Awesomeness oh, linux
 
user15026
the other two I am not so interested in personally
 
idk how linux handles such stuff
 
@AshleyNunn I'm interested in Exodus mostly for the water effects (the trailer looked stunning) so it's in last place.
 
@Chippies Same file structure AFAIK as on Windows
 
1:00 AM
just do a system wide search for the files you are looking for
 
Night at the Museum because it's Night at the Museum and it's probably the last Robin Williams movie I'll ever see.
The Hobbit mostly because I saw the other two. I might just wait for it to come out on "Netflix".
And I've heard great things about Redmayne's performance in Theory of Everything.
 
user15026
I will likely go see the Hobbit with my dad at some point
 
user15026
Theory of Everything I'd not heard of til tonight but it sounds awesome
 
@AshleyNunn Everyone's been raving about Redmayne's performance so I'm kinda stoked to see it.
 
user15026
@Yuuki I pick that then :D
 
1:03 AM
Okay then, movie's at 8:10p.

ILLEGAL DOWNVOTES
 
1:35 AM
@Sterno burn them all!
 
@Sterno That is a pretty shitty reason to downvote a question
 
@murgatroid99 Indeed it is. The best drama is the one where you're right about the injustice, but wrong about the severity of it.
 
@Sterno brb, writing a request for a lifehack to avoid mistreatment by sexists
 
@Sterno The way I see it, the downvote is irrelevant and the comment is almost offensive enough to warrant the reaction
 
AVG, which is supposed to help block adware and viruses and stuff for me, just updated and then popped up an add on me to update my license cheaper during christmas
MY AD BLOCKER JUST GAVE ME AN AD
@murgatroid99 Flag comment. Move on.
 
1:41 AM
@Sterno no i think it needs to have a meta rant so everyone knows HOW OFFENDED I AM
 
Maybe it's a weird case since there are no mods
 
@Sterno i thought CMs handle flags if there are no mods around
 
@MattGiltaji That would make sense, but I have no idea how it works
 
user15026
@Sterno If there's no mods, CMs do the modding :)
 
@AshleyNunn After further review, I've elected to not watch a movie on grounds that afternoon ticket prices are cheaper.

And there's less crazy people on the roads.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Makes sense to me

Q: battlefield 4 game saving ps4

RaghuHow to save battlefield 4 game progress manually on ps4 ? I want to save the game at any point in the progress rather than waiting for the autosave feature to kick in.

 
@yuuki I dunno, it depends on the situation
 
@badp With the changes to Axtinguisher and the alternate shotgun (forget its name), I feel the Degreaser is kinda useless.
 
You still have the improved weapon switch times
 
@badp Sure, but Puff 'n' Sting isn't nearly as good and Reserve Shooter has faster weapon switch on it.
 
2:04 AM
You can puff and flare or puff and shotty. The weapon switch time bonuses stack, too.

Q: Minecraft delete player data on LAN

RubenIn Minecraft, how do I delete the player data from a specific player on a LAN world? So it is like the single player/LAN world forgot they were ever there.

 
Also, is Engie buddy Pyro a waste of effort (Degreaser/Flamethrower, Flare Gun/Shotgun, Homewrecker)?
I like playing it to keep Sentry nests alive, but sometimes I feel that I could be contributing more in other ways.
 
I could never get the timing on the axtinguisher combo right
I would much rather have the speed bonus from the... other one
The jack something
 
@badp It's nice, but +20% damage from all sources seems painful.
 
Gotta go fast
Rip gas jockey set :(
My pyro loadout is either degreaser or stock, scorch shot and powerjack
I'll go degreaser if I know I'll have to deal with spammy soldiers
I'll go regular if I need more damage on the flame thrower instead
 
2:13 AM
@badp Scorch Shot does half the normal damage of the other flare guns and no guaranteed crits at all
 
However you can "rocket jump" with it and your shot can be a little off if you time the detonation right
...because I meant the detonator
Not the scorch shot
 
@OrigamiRobot HOLY CRAP OKAY THAT'S A DIFFERENT TURN THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE
 
I should use the Detonator more often.
 
It's basically the Flare Gun with improved functionality.
 
2:15 AM
The detonator is fun if you suck at sniper
But if you can actually aim the flare gun is better in almost every way
You can ignite multiple players with a single detonator detonation but it's quite the feat
Also the detonator can catch enemies around corners
Again: CAN
I'm just happy I don't have to usually deal with pyros with great flare aim
Degreaser, flare gun, old axtinguisher, some aim. How can you even lose a 1v1?
You can't.
Maybe minis.
Or walking head first into the business end of a minigun
 
I like Homewrecker just because I like to imagine the look on a suicide Spy's face after I destroy his Sappers.
 
Eh. The homewrecker can be an annoyance
But it's hard for it to connect with buildings
So the annoyance goes both ways
 
How good is it if I ever learn to sentry strafe?
 
Never tried
I really don't know why you'd want to melee a sentry.
 
Glory or whatever
 
2:25 AM
You can burn it if you can melee it
 
I melee destroyed a sentry one time because I was out of bombs as demo
 
and that also burns enemies around you
Earlier today four brillant enemy engines built a wall of sentries under the C bots in rd_asteroid
Three of them were inside that glass circle column thing
I had a quickfix medic, a ScoRes and a massive grin on my face
LOBBING EIGHT STICKIES IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE
 
@badp Why on earth do engies like grouping up so much...?
Every time I see another Engie building up near me, I (1) call him an idiot and (2) move my stuff somewhere else.
 
2:45 AM
Stupid holiday sale and being tempting
I wouldn't have even known about it if I didn't tab back in and see it on the star list
Thanks for all the video games, jerks :P
 
user15026
There's nothing that has tempted me so far
 
For me it is mostly stuff on my wishlist and Civ: BE
Nothing in my wishlist is on that great of a sale though (at least not for steam sales)
 
3:01 AM
Argh... anyone who plays Inquisition: Is there a way to change graphics settings outside the game?! Current theory is that my crashes are related to graphics settings, but I can't even launch the game.
Y'know what? I haven't asked a question on the site in a long while. Time to see if a prior question exists, then ask a new one.
 
> Nobody would have turned down a chance to be in a new Star Wars trilogy at the time- except Leonardo DiCaprio, whose agent, as we all know, is Leonardo DiCaprio from the future, guiding his younger self into strong, non-franchise roles, in order to save Hollywood from a grim fate beyond our ken.
> So why can't future Leo get current Leo an oscar winning role?
> Academy Awards are immalleable through timelines, just like World Series wins.
Future!Leo can guide Our!Leo to Oscar-worthy projects. But if he actually changes who wins the Oscar, the very fabric of space and time will begin to rip.
Fun fact: Jack Palance was also from the future; he was preventing the damage of temporal meddling when he announced Marisa Tomei's Oscar win in 1992. It's a long story.

where is the epic bridge fic?
 
@MattGiltaji somewhere where no one will ever find it :3
 
@ElfSlice The thing you have to understand about Hodappy Bird is that it's part of a very old and storied tradition going back to the legendary hod.app
@spugsley Did you take it over from @Mana?
 
Is that supposed to make it a good game?

Here's your response
 
@fredley Uh, you can use a case-sensitive file system in OSX just fine (since 10.3 or so).
 
wait OS X has a case insensitive file system?
SO MUCH FOR BEING UNIX
 
Pretty much the only system which doesn't have it is Windows, and that's not even on the file system base (NTFS is case-sensitive since ages).
Just use HFS+ on OSX and you're fine.
Windows can do it too, it even has a specific flag in the file access API - FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS - it's just that 99% of Windows programmers who access files are utter morons and don't know or understand what it does or how to write software which is compatible with it.

@MartinSojka speaking of case sensitivity
> An attacker can craft a malicious Git tree that will cause Git to overwrite its own .git/config file when cloning or checking out a repository, leading to arbitrary command execution in the client machine," Thursday's advisory warned. "Git clients running on OS X (HFS+) or any version of Microsoft Windows (NTFS, FAT) are exploitable through this vulnerability. Linux clients are not affected if they run in a case-sensitive filesystem.
 
@badp so they'd make a git tree with a file .GIT/config? Nice
 
@KevinvanderVelden or .git/Config
 
@badp I would hope the check was in the .git part, not the file after that
Cause there are other files you don't want to overwrite =p
 
11:30 AM
I think that the recursive data structures used by git must be throwing a wrench into using ".Git" instead of ".git"
I dunno. Maybe it HAS to be ".Git" indeed.
 
> * We used to allow committing a path ".Git/config" with Git that is
running on a case sensitive filesystem, but an attempt to check out
such a path with Git that runs on a case insensitive filesystem
would have clobbered ".git/config", which is definitely not what
the user would have expected. Git now prevents you from tracking
a path with ".Git" (in any case combination) as a path component.

* On Windows, certain path components that are different from ".git"
are mapped to ".git", e.g. "git~1/config" is treated as if it were

it's all so very Magical compatible.
 
The good news is that they've also added a thing to fsck that detects and rejects this

@KevinvanderVelden I mean, it was a simple Photoshop job to switch the two positions, but scripting that in the general case would be haaaaaaaaard

How about heads or tails
 
Encode board state in the URL, generate the board on the server-side with something like ImageMagick
 
@fredley it'd be a bit of manual input to select all the different positions but doable I'd think
That's assuming we'd want to use that same picture
 
@fredley I won!
 
If you just render a board of your own it'd not be that difficult
 
12:17 PM
@PrivatePansy Yeah, if you photographed a blank board and then just positioned marbles on it that would be easy
@KevinvanderVelden No, but I'm still not going to do it
 
Plus you'd need a room to do it in, you couldn't play it in main chat

I think @MattЭллен missed the QTE
 
@badp now you have to delete his account right?
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, I mean, he died anyway.
 
that was neat
 
That's what happens when you miss the QTE. It's the law.
RIP @MattЭллен
 
I'm eating a hairboat. it's like invincibility

The problem with dead people is that they spend a little while in denial of their unfortunate demise.
 
if I'm dead, then I reckon I must be undead
equal rites for undead!
 
@MattЭллен We'll get you a funeral rite all right, don't worry
eventually
 
@badp can I use the flamethrowers this time? :O
 
Anything worth buying from the current cohort of Steam sale games?
 
@PrivatePansy You know you want to park trucks.
 
12:38 PM
I already have that. And I do that in real life enough.

@kalina Not even a star. You're losing your touch.
