Q: A faster way for making developed cities in Civilization 5 SDK?

The Civ 5 SDK makes modding extremely easy, but it has lots of limitations that have frustrated me. One of the most tedious things for me happens when making a scenario that occurs in a later era and requires more developed cities: having to manually add individual buildings and stats to each and...

@murgatroid99 It's always fun to see those questions with low - negative scores with answers with a lot of upvotes.

murgatroid99

1:04 AM

@Wipqozn It's because the question is dumb, which makes the answers very clearly correct

It's very obvious to just about anyone reading the question that the top answer is correct

Plus, the question asks for an example, and that answer constructively gives all possible examples

@Lazers Oh, damn.

Someone's farming out their support to us again.

I just hope they come and answer them.

That's quite unfair

user15026

@Zerjack What is?

murgatroid99

1:09 AM

@Frank Of course, they didn't actually say to post bug reports here

user15026

I know a number of things have done similar with SO

Frank

@murgatroid99 And we can't actually accept bug reports.

Because they're not questions.

murgatroid99

@Frank oh, I know

I'm just saying that OP of that question misinterpreted that page

Frank

@murgatroid99 Probably.

So I clarified it for him.

FYI, while the site might say to ask us here, there's nothing we can do about it. Bug reports aren't questions, and we don't accept them here. — Frank 25 secs ago

Their page should really at least link to the tag page

@AshleyNunn A company just throwing away people at here because they don't have proper support

murgatroid99

Instead of just telling people to use a hashtag

@Zerjack This is a good place to ask questions about games

user15026

@murgatroid99 Pretty much this

murgatroid99

There's nothing inherently wrong about telling people that

They could probably word it a little better

I may be a little biased, because the product I'm working on tells people to ask about it on Stack Overflow (though, that's in addition to our mailing list and IRC channel)

user15026

If I recall correctly, there's no SE policy saying this can't happen

Frank

As long as it's about the game itself, I have no issue helping them.

user15026

1:12 AM

I mean if they're not good questions, sure, close them as whatever

Frank

My main issue is their attempt to farm out all their support to us.

Q: Is it okay to use Stack Overflow as the support forum for a product or project?

I recently saw a question about a problem (or possible bug) with subsonic on Stack Overflow. At first, I wanted to suggest that the asker post his question to the subsonic support forum. When searching for the URL of that forum, I noticed that the subsonic project closed its support forums and n...

user15026

and like I said, there are a number of things that do this on SO

user15026

Do I think they need other options, because it is their damn game, so they'd know, especially if its a bug? Hell yes.

Frank

1:14 AM

Those are usually community adopted support channels, I believe.

user15026

Do I think we should blanket ban any questions relating to this game because of this? No.

Frank

@AshleyNunn I'm definitely not saying we should, either.

If it's about gameplay, we can definitely help them.

@Frank Just figured I'd put it out there. :)

In my opinion, the fact that they specifically say to come here if you have a question makes it perfectly fine

Frank

@murgatroid99 I'm not following.

Or, in this case, Arqade.

Yuuki

@Frank Tag with #bang-howdy? Ew.

Frank

@Yuuki I don't believe these devs have actually used Arqade.

murgatroid99

@Frank they don't have support. It's better to direct people here in cases where we can help then to not do so

Q: Why do all of K.K. Slider's songs have no lyrics?

Besides the songs that he himself sings, it seems that K.K. Slider and Timmy/Tommy only give/sell you instrumental versions of K.K. Slider's songs. Is there any reasoning behind this, and can I get versions with his singing?

Frank

1:17 AM

@murgatroid99 To direct all their questions here?

Whether they can afford it or not is immaterial; they've pushed all their support onto us, and we're the ones who are going to get the complaints.

murgatroid99

@Frank Well, we can either help, or we can't. It's not really worth enumerating those cases on their help page

It's not like this is going to be another Minecraft. We're going to get a few questions about this game, maybe, and we might close some of them because they didn't bother to read our FAQ

Frank

@murgatroid99 It would show a good faith effort to actually help their users.

But, other than that, yeah, I'm on the same page. Close those that don't match our standards, but keep the ones we can, and help as best we can.

@RoyHollister According to a Bang! Howdy wiki, you can file a bug report by hitting F2. — Kareen 3 mins ago

Basically, business as usual.

It seems like they do have some actual support

Frank

1:20 AM

@murgatroid99 Here's hoping.

murgatroid99

Maybe someone should open up the game, hit F2, and tell them to fix their help page

Frank

@murgatroid99 That might not be a bad idea.

Otherwise I'd do it right now
