Q: What need for speed games have a free roam world?

AlvarLike in need for speed most wanted (the first one), there is a world you can drive around when you are not in a race, free roam driving I think it's called. What need for speed games have the same open world to drive around in? I don't mean the exact same map but just that it has a open world t...

 
@Wipqozn And he's being a jerk. Screw him.
 
@fbueckert PRetty much. I'll never step in to help him again.
 
I'd recommend reading our about page. We work a little differently than most other gaming sites. An overriding rule across the SE network (of which Arqade is a part of) is, "Be nice". We are trying to help you. — fbueckert 13 secs ago
There. Hope that helps.
@Lazers Isn't this sorta straying into game-rec?
 
I hope it's just a bad case of miscommunication. And @fredley could just have said that you were editing the title for clarity to avoid using technical terms like SEO
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I said that. :P
SEO should be a fairly common term, I would think.
 
12:19 AM
@fbueckert Yeah I have no idea what that stands for
 
Only if you're a web developer
@James Search Engine Optimisation
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah I do not think that is a common term.
 
@fbueckert Yes, that's exactly what it is. It also falls under "Catalogues (listing games that fit specific criteria or are like an existing game)"
 
I know what SEO means! That means it's common! /argument
 
@Wipqozn I don't know about game-rec, but yeah it's a catalogue. This older question is too.
 
12:26 AM
Any reason why XBMC won't play audio through my home theatre amp after updating to latest version?
Other audio works, and it looks like it's using the correct device.

Q: How do I duplicate Materials?

GeloDCastroid9I have only found one diamond and I neet to make a ton more for armor and tools (and spares). Are there any duplication glitches that are easy to do?

 
user43095
Not sure if this is off topic or not constructive.
 
@jeffreylin_ Well, it's a creative use of game mechanics.
 
@fbueckert Which may or may not be patched in future versions
 
user43095
But asking about glitches and cheats have resulted in past questions being closed.
 
@jeffreylin_ I don't think we close questions because they exploit glitches. Can you link to one?
 
user43095
12:42 AM
@fbueckert I can't think of one at the moment, but I've seen some in my time here.
 
@jeffreylin_ Why is the answer CW?
 
There might be other problems with the question, but glitch/cheat doesn't automatically mean off-topic.
 
I mean, I can tell he set it that way, but it's kind of weird
 
@murgatroid99 Probably because his other answer got hit for being the same as a previous one.
 
@murgatroid99 That's odd. I don't think users even post CW answers until 100 reps
 
12:44 AM
GnomeSlice has pointed out a whole lot more potential catalouge questions, although some can be edited to be gooder:
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/80329/which-darkmoon-faire-games-are-phased
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/19402/which-xbox-360-games-have-free-avatar-accessory-awards
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/7261/are-there-wii-games-which-require-a-classic-controller-but-wont-work-with-a-gam
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/3222/which-galaxies-in-super-mario-galaxy-2-are-borrowed-from-previous-mario-games
 
user43095
@YiJiang'sEvilClone gaming.stackexchange.com/privileges/edit-community-wiki It only applies to editing CW answers, not creating them.
 
@jeffreylin_ Also, I feel like it should be edited to something like "Is there a way to duplicate items?", with glitches and mods among the possible answers
 
No, you have to have at least 10 reps to post CW answers. I thought it was higher, but apparently not
 
I mean, remove the reference to glitches in the question
Actually, I'm going to do that
 
They're all kind of iffy except for that last one, which is pretty obvious.
 
12:46 AM
@Ullallulloo At least two of those don't fit the criteria. Also... Probably shouldn't like... be helping Gnome evade ban-by-proxy. <_<
 
user43095
@murgatroid99 FAQ We don't seem to prohibit cheating, which I remember that we did. Or maybe my memory's foggy.
 
@Fluttershy He didn't tell me to post them all, and I didn't post all he mentioned, but I thought these should have some attention brought to them, maybe.
 
@jeffreylin_ We prohibit piracy entirely.
 
@jeffreylin_ No, I just wanted to make the question more general. A glitch isn't necessarily the only way to duplicate items, and there's no reason to artificially limit the question
 
We closed a question about gaining access to DLC without paying for it, due to that reason.
 
12:49 AM
@Ullallulloo Gotcha. The first and fourth, at least, don't fit the criteria for catalogue questions, in my opinion.
 
FAE
@fbueckert That's more so because it's like... technically illegal
 
@FAE Legalities are something we're not very well equipped to decide.
 
user43095
Oh, piracy. I was confusing that with cheating. And I don't think that there's any legit way to duplicate items, after all, the first results from a search show glitches and cheats.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Right.
 
@Fluttershy Eh, he's just sharing some questions which should be closed. It would be silly of @Ullallulloo to not mention it just becuse Gnome was the one who mentioned it.
 
12:50 AM
@Fluttershy Yeah, mainly just the second, third, and last ones are game cataloguey.
Although some seem subjective.
 
@jeffreylin_ My point is just that there's no reason to assume that in the question.
 
user43095
@murgatroid99 Yeah, i guess so.

Q: Emulating keyboard and mouse commands with a game controller (control pad) - which software has the most features?

MGOwenFor anyone new to this: Some programs exist to allow you to use game controllers (such as the xbox 360 controller, or my usb-connected SNES pads and dual-shocks) to play games that don't support controllers (only keyboard and mouse). This can really help if the keyboard and mouse give you RSI, or...

A: What are good sources for Starcraft 2 replays?

ShaznatMany of the top players have their games posted on GosuGamers. Further, the games are rated by the community, so you will know which games will be the most entertaining or informative.

Not catalogs, but might still need to be closed.
 
@Wipqozn The first one's pretty clearly software rec.
 
These three should be closed as catalogs:

Q: Which Xbox 360 games have free avatar accessory awards?

migoilomilo offers free T-Shirts for your avatar if you unlock certain achievements (in the full game). Are there any other games (arcade, indie or full), that offer bonus avatar accessories with no extra expenditure of MS points?

5
Q: Are there Wii-games which require a classic controller but won't work with a gamecube controller or wiimote+nunchuck?

ZommuterAnd if yes, which? Are there any controllers that have both a wiimote and a gamecube plug so I don't have to buy two similar controllers?

Q: Cultures: What were the various games? What do the compilations contain?

KyralessaI have the English-language version of the game Cultures, which I purchased some years ago. I have a few questions (which are all related): What are the other games in the series? Which games in the series use the original game engine from Cultures, and which use a different game engine? (E.g...

 
12:56 AM
@Wipqozn The "Which?" could maybe be edited out here.
 
I hate the timer on comments.

Zeus damn it.
 
@Wipqozn Better?
 
@Ullallulloo Yes.

Q: how to configure wine for HALF LIFE 1

user130606hi i`ve been trying to run half life 1 on ubuntu 12.10 with wine. The game starts to the menu OK, but WTF when the game starts and when action starts nothing happens, i cant move only my mouse work, i cant move and game is not in full screen. If someone show me how to configure wine it will great...

 
@spartacus Who's Ishtaku?
 
sorry I asked an off-topic question
but is there anyoen here that knows which need for speed games have a free world to drive around in?
like need for speed most wanted (1) and need for speed world
 
user15026
@Wipqozn "Suit yourself, old chap"? People are special.
 
@fbueckert the first act 4 boss, right after the opening scene
 
1:35 AM
@spartacus His name's Ishtaku? I thought it was something else. Huh.
@Alvar Sorry, dude, you're not being ignored, I just don't think anybody knows.
 
its actually Istaku, I had an extra h in there
 
@fbueckert haha, that's why I asked since nobody knows :P (on the site)
 
@AshleyNunn I...what?
 
too bad it's OT
 
user15026
@Wipqozn One of the comment replies to you
 
1:36 AM
@Wipqozn, suit yourself, old chap, but I was looking for games in a well-defined series, not games that "fit specific criteria or are like an existing game". This question doesn't elicit long meaningless lists of games, as should be obvious from the fact that it has only one answer. — Kyralessa 18 mins ago
@Alvar Yeah. But we've determined that it doesn't work well for Arqade. Sorry.
 
@AshleyNunn @fbueckert Oh, okay. I only just now say the comment.
 
@fbueckert i get it, it would be too much of those questions then.. I guess I just have to do all the work myself :P
 
@Alvar Which will make it that much more rewarding. :)
 
@fbueckert Not when I'm busy at the University / being sick all week :P
haha
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Per the earlier chicken and waffles discussion, you might find this interesting.
 
1:38 AM
Well, I'm off to tango practice!
 
I should go to bed, it's 02:39....
 
@Alvar You might want to try asking on the NFS subreddit.
Even though it doesn't look that big.
 
@Ullallulloo it looks ugly too :P Too much of a forum..
i should just do the work and shut up i guess...
well cya, and thanks anyway! :)
 
@badp seems to play NFS.
 
Anyone here use Audacity?
 
FAE
1:44 AM
Not in ages.
 
@BenBrocka I know people who have (attempted) to use it
 
I... this... wha- no *breaks down and starts sobbing for humanity*
 
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ...why was this approved?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It was like this for over a month.
 
@FAE It was New Year's Eve and they were all drunk? I have absolutely no idea

Q: The current review system encourages fake reviews; some people upvote everything rather than actually fixing problems

ЯegDwightI went to a Late Answers review queue that had four items in it and started reviewing the first one by editing it into shape rather heavily. By the time I was done, someone else had reviewed the same post simply by upvoting it, so I only got a "Next" button, not an "I'm done" button. My edit st...

 
It looks like I'll need to use audacity or something similar to attempt "de-essing" or removing sibilance
That or I need to just buy a high quality, desk microphone I can sit far enough away. But I have no idea what a good mic is and I'm not 100% sure that would solve the problem
 
@BenBrocka ie: You whistle while you speak? :)
 
Basically, actually reviewing it takes longer than just hitting "Approve".
And people gotta get those shiny badges.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Make a cheap shield?
Or do you use a headset?
 
1:49 AM
@FAE Sounds like shields don't work for sibilance
 
Oh look, it's Patch Tuesday again
 
<=- is getting the urge to multibox WoW again
 
@James Only on mic. And yeah it's a headset, it sounds like the hissing S is only a big problem around 4-8" from your mouth (but I can't move the boom mic nearly that far away)
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Hm, I thought there were decent pop shields that also helped remove sibilance
 
1:50 AM
@BenBrocka People told me I hiss my 's' sounds a bit as well
I told em I would be more aware of it but I can not really change the way I speak :)
 
I can change the way I speak a fair amount...but I don't really think I'm hissing my S that much, and if I am I can't seem to limit it very much when I try
 
@BenBrocka Do you pop your P's?
 
No, Ps sound fine on the mic
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Does your mic already have foam on it or no?
 
No foam
think that'd help?
 
FAE
1:56 AM
@BenBrocka It may, yeah.
 
@BenBrocka Have a sample of what you are talking about some where?
 
There
No popping P, but the S drives me crazy
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeah, the P's are fine, but the S's are fairly pronounced
 
@BenBrocka Your voice is amazing.
 
FAE
@Ullallulloo This made me laugh
 
2:02 AM
Not noticing a significant difference when I use a makeshift foam cover (a fallen-off headphone cover)
 
user15026
@BenBrocka Your voice is lovely to listen to, but you do have some pretty pronounced s's
 
FAE
@BenBrocka @Ullallulloo has a point though, you do have a nice voice.
 
I'm thinking I should just get a decent desktop mic. But the mid-grade ones are like $200 and I really dont' want to pay that much unless I know it will fix it
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Anywhere have a decent return policy?
I mean, most places let you return within a week with receipt, right?
That's plenty of time to do a sound test.
 
2:05 AM
@FAE I usually get stuff from Amazon, but I guess their return policy is pretty sweet too
@Ullallulloo Been looking at something like that. Just concerned how much extra work it'd add to processing. But testing with my 3DS's crappy mic I can hear the harsh sibilance at least 2.5 feet away from my mouth
 
@BenBrocka Is that a half naked Etna as your desktop background? O_o
 
@FAE Thanks. Used to hate my voice, I think it's different now though. It's less low or something
@Fluttershy It's a fully clothed Etna. For her standard form of fully clothed
 
@BenBrocka Valid point.
 
Now I can't stop thinking about s and my video drive has like 10 samples of me saying S
 
FAE
@BenBrocka hahaha
 
user15026
2:09 AM
@BenBrocka giggles That's kinda awesome in a way
 
Even tried my last headset and my 3DS, all sounds the same
Might see if I can get a mic shield that'll fit on the headset though
 
Reminds me of someone else who has a problem with their S's static.tumblr.com/2eb1xqb/4Pwlsxezy/minecraft-creeper.jpg
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Maybe take a bit of a break from testing. Sounds like your brain's kind of hyperfocused on it now.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That was bad and you should feel bad. <_<
 
@FAE Yeah. I've bitched about it on camera before and no one's said anything about it, so I'm not sure how much people notice on youtube. I just know I notice big time every once in a while
On a tangental note, has anyone recorded on Twitch? I'm having a heck of a time finding free capture software that works for them, and Camtasia doesn't work with them either
 
FAE
2:18 AM
@BenBrocka Skimming through your latest vid, it doesn't seem super pronounced all the time like in the test video, just noticeable once in a while, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm listening for it.
 
@BenBrocka I've only ever streamed to Twitch. =( And then it auto-deleted my recording.
 
@FAE I may just be doing it because I can't stop thinking about it at this point
@Fluttershy streamed is what I meant. Recording I'll worry about later
 
@BenBrocka You mean, "I can't sssstop thinking about it at thisssss point," right?
@BenBrocka Okay. Free, no. But xsplit has somewhat cheap licensing...
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeah, I'd probably just take a break.
 
user15026
@BenBrocka When I was watching your Youtube stuff after you linked me to the cat playing fetch thing, I never really noticed it.
 
user15026
2:20 AM
I think I noticed it tonight because you were repeating s sounds
 
@AshleyNunn The phone's mic is pretty crap though, I sound a lot different on that one
@AshleyNunn Probably yeah
 
user15026
@BenBrocka I watched a bunch of your stuff that night, not just that.
 
@Fluttershy Aren't they a subscription or some crap? They wouldn't tell me the price without logging in
 
user15026
Although I must say your cat is adorable
 
FAE
@BenBrocka On a random note, I did not realize you were as young as you are until now.
 
2:23 AM
Parker is pretty awesome
 
@BenBrocka The account is free to make. The license for using the software for broadcasting costs money. One sec. I'll check the current cost.
 
user15026
@FAE I tend to assume everyone here is my age XD
 
@BenBrocka Alright, $14.95 for 3 months, $59.95 for 12 months, and $149.95 for 36 months.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I am very terrible at estimating people's ages.
 
user15026
@FAE I generally don't, so I get surprised when friends are older or younger than me by more than a year or two
 
FAE
2:27 AM
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I don't either, especially on the internet.
 
@Fluttershy bleh. And the premium one is more I'm sure
 
@BenBrocka That's the premium one.

Q: Steam Menu Doesn't show games?

jeffreylin_Sometimes, when I right click on Steam in the system tray, I see my games. Sometimes I don't. This is very strange, and annoying because I cannot access my games without opening Steam. For example, when there is the menu: Sometimes the games don't show up, and this is strange. How can I fix this?

 
Oh, not as bad as I feared. I'd still rather try something free (but without a watermark) first
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I am also super terrible at estimating age offline as well. I just have a bad sense for how old people should look. I think it's because both my parents look young for their age.
 
2:28 AM
@FAE I get that a lot. And IRL people think I'm like under 20
 
Oh. Hang on. @BenBrocka Those prices are sale prices. There's apparently a special going on right now. <_<
 
FAE
@BenBrocka You're young enough for me to to have like, babysat you... you're the same age as my cousins whom I babysat. >_>
 
user15026
@FAE Age is one of the many things I don't work well with - it's like body language - my brain just doesn't interpret it well. I have to be hit on the head with a brick to see those things.
 
user15026
@FAE How old are you?
 
@AshleyNunn Very.

2:29 AM
@Fluttershy I hate you.
@AshleyNunn 28.5~

@AshleyNunn The sweetest!
 
user15026
@FAE Cool beans.

@FAE As you should be!
 
@Fluttershy I thought it was funny. :P
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo You are mean too!

Oliver looks soo cute is snowsuit. I hope I can keep it on for the rest of the game.
 
user15026
@FAE Yeah, I figured. :P I figure every day I am on this side of the dirt is a good one :) even if I have to write stupid essays.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Indeeds.
Picking on me aside, I should get ready for sleep. G'night, Bridge. Good luck with your S's, @BenBrocka.
 
@FAE Goodnight! =D
 
2:36 AM
@Fluttershy Hm. It'd be a good time to buy if I actually trusted I'd use it. Bleh
Not so sold on Twitch yet, I'm just thinking of trying it out
 
@BenBrocka Pretty much... Also, I flubbed up the pricing pretty badly, apparently. >_> One sec.
 
user15026
@FAE Sleep well!
 
@FAE Night, thanks for the help
 
@James If you want to include that much detail you can, but we're mostly just looking for goals at this point
 
@Ktash How do those differ?
 
2:42 AM
@James What do you mean?
how do what differ?
 
@Ktash goal vs pledge levels
 
They don't really. I just mean you don't have to put dollar values or anything on them. You can just list some goals we should consider adding as pledge levels we may hit
 
user15026

@AshleyNunn :D
@Ktash yeah well it seems like only me thinks a run through of Skyrim would be fun so far :L(
:(
 
2:45 AM
It has 2 votes so far, but yeah, it isn't one of the clear winners
 
@Ktash And I am so burnt out on Terraria.. :(
 
This weekend I'll probably try and wrap up voting again, and move on to more specific goal planning, and unless there is an upset, not sure Skyrim will make the cut
 
Wish you could Down vote suggestions :)
 
Yeah, that was the downside of chat
but hopefully people voting it up are willing to marathon it...
 
So why is it in chat instead of in the post? it would seem the post would make more sense?
 
2:48 AM
There were too many top tag games. We would have likely gone on to two pages of answers, and it would have been more difficult
also, chat was a way people would hopefully bounce ideas off eachother to get goals, though that hasn't happened yet, so goals will get some dedicated voting
 
So I was wondering
How are they going to be broadcast?
Everyone get a twitch tv and then one commentator swap between the channels of the people playing em to highlight what is going on?
 
Likely Twitch.tv at this point
I have to figure out logistics still, I'm hoping we can use one commentator account and switch yeah
console games are going to be the trickier ones
luckily the top voted ones (to my knowledge) all have PC versions
 
@Ktash Well then is there really any reason to limit the games as opposed to just take people who will volunteer for them?
Is there a timeframe on the marathons?
 
All depends on how many people we can get to volunteer, and for what games. We could in theory have multiple people playing at once, on the same or different games
so theoretically, no, we don't need to limit the games played, but if we do it in a weekend, then we'll want to make sure we get a spread of marathoning
 
@Ktash So a skype call on one PC to do commentating or whgat?
 
2:56 AM
@BenBrocka I'm hoping to figure out how to do a single account that can manage multiple streams
similar to how zeldathon does it
like that
 
@Ktash Oooh you need to see Us?
 
No, not necessarily
 
Well I volunteer for snark duty and or commentating
 
Ill step up to do a Skyrim run :)
Or maybe a diablo run
But very maybe on diablo
 
I'm game for Terraria or BL2. Maybe TF2 but I'll be crazy rusty
 
3:02 AM
Currently, of the top 6 voted games, I've only ever played 2, and I'm only good at 1
 
oh, or Portal 2, but that's only a 2 player thing
I assume terraria and minecraft would be server based with lots of players?
 
Yeah, probably
and Portal 2 I was thinking might be fun to do a race or something
with goals being stupid things each player has to do or something like that
or challenge maps
 
Oh a race with multiple 2 player teams would be cool
 
Yeah, and every $20 or something they have to high five, and then we have goals on top of that
like only in blue out orange or something

@Ktash Clearly you have to be ok at a game to be able to accomplish the challenges but enjoying the game is also important for a marathon run :D
 
@James Yes, having fun will make you want to continue and also to come back

Q: Screen Size in Java

user1976336Hello I am making a game in Java and I get the screenSize using DefaultToolkit, but the problem with that is that is detects the size of the screen if it was FULLSCREEN. How can I get the screen size of the area the game screen (which is not fullscreen) takes up. To be more precise, my sprite is...

Q: Planetside 2 UI isn't loading strings (names) properly - corrupt file not being fixed (Steam)

EnigmaWhen I load up the game, I see ##UI.Play, ##UI.Settings, ##UI.Exit, etc in place of the correct Play, Settings, and Exit. In game, I get "Error" for weapon names or "weaponID.string not found" etc. I installed through Steam and have re-verified the content several times and it has found corrupt...

 
Bluuurgh. So many sore muscles.
 
user15026
@fbueckert Dance?
 
@AshleyNunn Tango practice.
So many sharp movements.
Usually you don't have to hold them all that long, but when you're trying to get it just right, you're definitely straining some muscles.
 
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah, I can see how that might be
 
@fbueckert I just realized that, since Brandon Sanderson is such an incredible worldbuilder, that the "spren" in Stormlight Archives are going to be meaningful somehow.
How long are we going to have to wait to figure that out :(
 
4:20 AM
@StrixVaria You already know they will be.
The words he spoke, to become a protector of the weak, did something to his spren.
 
I mean I knew there was more to them when I read it, but I read The Way of Kings before Mistborn, so it didn't have as much of an impact since I didn't know the author yet.
 
@fbueckert Essences went down T_T
 
Now that I know just how ridiculously well he ties everything together, I'm more excited.
 
@StrixVaria Heh. I tore through Mistborn before reading Way of Kings.
@OrigamiRobot For now. Be patient.
 
Tears went up, but I had already bought essences when they announced the change.
 
4:22 AM
People are flooding the market with all their extra essences.
@OrigamiRobot I got an Echoing Fury, though!
 
@fbueckert Essences used to make gloves, now they make bracers.
But radiant star emeralds are up to 30m
I bought mine for 5m each :P
@fbueckert @spugsley and I got the Dex gloves plan right off the bat
 
@OrigamiRobot Damn. Killed Ghom on MP0, got nothing.
Haven't even gotten any Demonic Essences.
 
@fbueckert We were running Khulle on MP1
 
Essences at 950; that's about where they were at a week ago.
 
@fbueckert They went down since I bought mine.
 
4:28 AM
I found some shoulders that bumped up my DPS, but they had no resists.
 
@fbueckert WTF Normal Essences are 500?
 
@OrigamiRobot ...I just checked. 950.
 
@fbueckert Normal
 
@OrigamiRobot Normal? Bwuh? Exquisite Essences are the only Essences worth anything.
Subtle is crap all.
 
Nightmare are 400
What is this I don't even?
 
4:33 AM
Apparently, Gearbox outsourced Aliens to Timegate. Which might explain the buggy, broken piece of crap game that it is.
 
@fbueckert If you have the initial capital and the patience, it's profitable to craft Radiant Star Rubies right now
 
@OrigamiRobot Zero capital.
Bought Essences, like you, remember?
Also, yay, downvotes! Probably revenge for this:
 
I wish I had invested in gems...
 
If "games in a well-defined series" doesn't match listing games that fit specific criteria, then I don't know what would. Arqade's changed since this question was asked, so no harm, no foul. This one just slipped through the cracks. — fbueckert 3 hours ago
And why is that question gathering reopen votes? It's clearly no longer on topic.
 
user15026
@fbueckert because people.
 
4:48 AM
@AshleyNunn I'm tempted to downvote due to the passive aggressive comment, but that's not really what I should be doing.
 
user15026
@fbueckert No but I vcan see the temptation
 
Eh. Just done damage control on that question. He's being hostile about it, but there's nothing mean about what's going on.
Plan: Exalted Fine Golden Talon. No, D3, bad! Wrong plan!

Q: Bukkit plugin with realistic shop/economy features?

DJTripleThreatI would like to add a shop plugin that lets players (idealy) purchase a shop or npc that acts as a shop that they can stock with items that they've produce (i.e. the items don't come from out of thin air) and any money that they make from this shop/npc goes to their balance. I do not want this to...
