Little Big Planet 1

[Pepsi0]

I've scrapped the level that I was planning to release next month, The Unknown. I just didn't really think it was worth the time.

 

[FoolKiller]

Here are a few things I'm "testing"

I thought really clever of myself to have an electric hammer squash you.

Nice, I can't waitto try it out.

Also, another tip: Make a copy of your level on a new spot on your moon. That way if you screw something up and save by accident it is recoverable. Also, if it gets moderated for some odd reason you have an unlocked copy that you can upload without review.

More good points...At this rate it certainly will take me weeks to give you guys something to run through.

If you need a second opinion mid-creation send a message to someone who is online, upload your level so they can play it, and then remove it from the server when they are done.

Thsi will be much better when they eventually get online co-op level creation patched in.

Happy Valentine's Day from our sackfamily to yours!

BTW: The kids made these costumes and decorated their mother's LBP pod (love the kitty staring through the pod's window!) as a surprise for their mother and me. You can't really see it due to the poor picture quality, but we all have matching hearts on our chests, and the kids made themselves SackCupids using the new angel wings objects from the Valentine's Pack and in their hands are a bow and in the other an arrow... it looks great in person, just wish the pics were better.

PS: Sorry about the poor picture quality... I just can't seem to be able to figure out the right setting on my wife's camera to avoid the saturation problems when taking shots of bright images on a TV.

I suppose what I should do is use a video capture card... but it's just so bloody inconvenient!

 

[Grand Prix]

Is it even possible to make something walk in this game? I've been trying to make Metal Gear REX and the Juggernaut from Command and Conquer with little success. Not sure if 4-legged machines like the AT-AT would be any easier.

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

OK... this is a bit better:

Interestingly enough this is using the camera's preset "Sport" setting, but clearly using a video capture card is going to give much better results.

If you mean something like the elephant from the Elephant Temple level then yes, something that walks is possible. As far as ease of creation... no idea (I'm not that far yet! )

@ D-N, did any of my suggestions for pics of your TV from your thread in the photo section help?

I'm liking the new Sack-Nitrates! 👍

Have you seen how they made it? It is hideously complicated, it essentially works by moving a bazillion pistons forward and up at the right moment. It's cool, but I can't alter the shape of it to an AT-AT, grrrr!

I'm thinking that something that can lift the whole body (pistons) while the other leg moves forward (with wobble bolts) might work. The problem is that the whole thing has to be really small and light, otherwise it just topples over. There are also balancing issues. They probably don't make walking battle mechs in real life because of these problems. A tank with treads is a much simpler solution, LMAO (although even that is complicated to make).

Can't say I've paid a ton of attention to it - I'm usually trying to not fall off and die!

Grrrr... I forgot about my own bloody thread!

I'm having a bit of trouble on a few levels. I've run through the Mines level and a few others and can't seem to find the last few pieces to reach 100% on these levels. Is there anyone out there that would have some free time (preferably 7-10pm EST (Boston, MA, USA)) to help me out on them?

I'm not sure what levels I need to run through for 100% off the top of my head, but as I haven't done much with multiplayer at all, it's going to be a bunch. That said, I'd be available pretty much any evening on the weekends if you're interested in getting together and around 8pm Central works out perfectly for me. 👍

Edit: Apparently I suck at time zones...

For the mines, there's a deformable wall near the beginning of the race area. Take some dynamite that you would use for the barrier, and drag it back behind the starting line to the wall.

Excellent. I've got a handful of mulriplayer I've not finished yet. In particular, some that I know are where I've got pieces I need to fulfill other levels.

Hot Damn! that was it. Makes that one 100%. Thanks!

 

[hamstrings]

No problem. My sister and I knew there was something funky with that wall, and stickers didn't trigger it. Hey, explosives!

 

[Der Alta]

I had a random person join up with me last night and knocked two more sections up to 100%. Also learned that if you hit the "start" button and click "about this level" it'll tell you if you have 100% or not.

I'm aiming for 100% and after that, I'll start building. Already have a few ideas...

Throw me a yodel - GTP_Famine.

The only multiplayer I'm missing at the moment is a 2x on the Dancer's Palace which requires synchronised running (though I've got a cheatycheat worked out with three or more players which make it easy) - and there's a ton of bubbles I just can't get on the Collector's Lair, where the rotating right-angles are.

Then I just need to Ace the Lair and the Bunker (schyeah, right)

Surprisignly, once you get this down it is relatively easy.

Did he look like this:

and did he change into his SackStig for the LowRider level?

BTW: Another useful feature besides the in-level "about this level" feature, is the ability to see who is who by pressing the L1 button:

 

[Famine]

Okay, that was odd...

After D-N and Blake helped me get all the prize bubbles on the Lair, the Bunker and the Palace (cheers, folks Do you like my Beatrice Kiddo sackgirl? ), I Aced the Lair and Bunker this morning in 30 minutes flat... Booty Master and Play Trophies


I've only got one Trophy to get which is not level creation related - and I need to complete a level with 3 people on my Friends list to get it... So... Who's free?

 

[Blake]

I don’t remember playing.

But I will help you out with your last Trophy if you’re free on Friday night GMT.

My wife had to leave the room to contain her laughter. She thought it was hilarious. SHe's now in the process of trying to replicate it, as her brother is a big TopGear fan.

If I can manage to catch you online, I'll join in.

 

[Famine]

Well... I'll aim to be online at 2100GMT tonight...

 

[J-PaP]

I'm re-playing through lbp trying to ace my levels and re-attain items. Quite fun/frustrating at the same time doing it all again. I luckily had a gamesave with all the levels complete and the first 3 areas aced/bubbles collected.

If you see me online drop me a pm and if I don't have lbp playing I will put it in and join in. Feel free to add me even.

Lol. How do you make SackStig?

 

[J-PaP]

Sackstig I know needs the motorstorm costume for the helmet

 

[Pepsi0]

Yeah I've noticed that.

 

[Der Alta]

lets see... 2100 GMT = 4pm in Boston. I won't make it home until 5pm, + house chores... If I can sneak out of work earlier, I try to cross paths with you.

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

After D-N and Blake his son helped me get all the prize bubbles on the Lair, the Bunker and the Palace

I don’t remember playing.

That's because it was actually my 6yr son.

BTW: The way to access this feature is that at any time, whether you are in a level or in your pod, you can press the start button and then select "Manage Players". It will then not only tell you who is who (like when you press the L1 button), but also who is the host. 👍

You can also use this feature to mute someone who may be saying in appropriate things, or maybe their mic is picking up loud interference. If you are the host, you can also boot someone from your pod or the level you are playing.

(cheers, folks Do you like my Beatrice Kiddo sackgirl? )

It looks great! 👍

I use a very similar costume for my Bruce Lee (from Game of Death) sackboy, except of course I used the black color sticker to make the Blonde Hair Wig a brunette. Now if only they would add a nunchuck to the costume items.

You might also want to try using the Bouffant Hairdo Wig (from the Lowrider level) as that makes for a great Beatrice look, or even the Ponytail Hair Wig (from the Frozen Tundra level) as they both will give her a longer hair look. 👍

You might also want to consider using a silver sticker to paint the sword… then spash it with red for a nice effect as if she just finished doing battle with the crazy eights!

The only drag with using the tracksuit is that in order to get the classic Bruce Lee/Beatrice Kiddo black striped yellow outfit is that you have to use the Yellow player color… which for some bizzare reason uses white text in the yellow popup chat bubble... which makes it VERY hard to read what that person’s is saying.

Which reminds me... you need to get or use a mic when you play LBP.

The added benefit to using a mic is that it also makes it soooo much easier to hear what others are saying as you can set the audio chat to output to your ear piece, rather than have it mixed in with the game sounds through your TV/sound system.

Of course if MM had or will add a feature commonly found in most games, that allows you to adjust the volume level of the different sounds independently, like music, SFX, and audio chat... then it wouldn't be as much of an issue. However, for some odd reason the only option is to turn music on or off.

The good news is that by using the a headset will at least allow you to individually control the audio chat level and make it very easy to hear the other players. 👍

Congrats on the new trophies!

2100 GMT is 3pm CST so I might not be able to join, but if I can make it I'll be happy to participate... especially if it means I get to slap around Famine.

My wife had to leave the room to contain her laughter. She thought it was hilarious. SHe's now in the process of trying to replicate it, as her brother is a big TopGear fan.

It was actually quite easy:

• White Weave material
• MotorStorm Helmet
• MotorStorm Gloves (painted white)
• MotorStorm Trousers & Boots (painted white)

If I really wanted to get clever, I suppose I could also make a custom SIMPSON red sticker to place above the visor.

BTW: The MotorStorm helmet has a lot of great uses. I made a really great looking Master Chief with it, as well as a Darth Vader (both using the Space Suit - painted black for Vader and using a the green face sticker for Master Chief...) and as an added feature, when I remove the helmet from my SackVader, it reveals a scarred faced Anakin Skywalker.

My personal favorite though is my SackHellBoy and SackHulk.
