I mean even the lighting is done right...and have no clue how he did the train from that perspective.
Im still creating from the perspective of old school platformers/shooting/hack and slash, but i'd really like to know how to get different camera views like that. Actually I still havent figured out how to do the top down camera.

I actually feel guilty for not buying this yet. I loved the first one, bought the MGS, Pirates, and Marvel packs, couldn't want for the new one to come out. It came out in a busy time, and I still haven't bought it nor do I have the time to delve into the creator the way I'd want. But I still feel like MM deserves my monies.

Here's the thing:
Yes a video like that is impressive, but who actually wants to play that? It's cool that it's made in LBP, but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole if it wasn't.

Top down like that is simple enough but the rotationn is what I'm wondering about. Don't get me wrong, it looks impressive has fuck but I'd like to see the game play feels. That Doom recreation was awesome back in the day, but it played like ass.Teknoman said:

I never got why everyone get so hype about a every FPS or why they think its a good idea, im sure when move pack come out they be millions more pop up.
It's not very fancy compared to most levels here, but finally published a lbp2 level, and as it has had 1 play (that isn't me) I thought I'd mention it here.

That makes a ton of sense as to why it moves so slow.jump_button said:
It now sounds like one of those looks good, but plays bleh levels. But hey, the more it gets people into LBP2, the better.

Why are people so head over heels for this video? Other people were doing it 3 months ago!
The floor is moving. We are still waiting for Mm to patch the Local Space Glitch. But there is one person I know of trying (very well) to do it anyway.
I am well behind (not started) on my projects.

Hi all still working on this about time I show something new, so here the 2nd gameplay type aka the old gameplay, the umbrella will be more like the old skytown and it will be darker to contrast with the more sunny level of the balloon.

Just uploaded my little training level for the Gundam Wing Project I'm haphazardly working on the side:
http://lbp.me/v/0mxe66
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv9BS0joYoc
It's somewhat of a test considering I'll constantly be making tweaks and additions to whatever new stuff will come out in the near future, on top of adding new enemies as I complete them. Hope you guys have a chance to check it out!

Thanks man! Hopefully soon I'll have the time to work on it full blast. Will definitely check out your new work when it comes out too!jump_button said:
As for those additions to the level, I just added Tallgeese to the stage as a boss if you reach S-Rank (40 kills).

Should spice up the level just a tad. ^^

Shattered Embrace

Finally after 3 months of work, I have published my first level in LBP 2. It is a 30 minutes long movie (consisting of three parts/level links). It is a story about an investigator whose life became a destroyed and unstable clash of memories, imageries and broken thoughts, due to an incident which he deeply denies.
Co-creators for this movie were: MuddledMuppet & leklack - voices; hilightnotes - music; camel504 - tree objects. Ladonna2 - font.
I hope you enjoy it and any feedback is appreciated.

It's a true to form tech demo. Anyone who has created or plays understands how ridiculous it is, but compared to a real FPS, it looks jittery and odd. A thread on it wouldn't go well. Not to say it isn't really impressive, because it is.Ellis Kim said:

LBP2 is an awesome game, MM has done a wonderful job to make more easy to spot and play the best levels around but in 4+ millions levels some great level is lost, some creator works hard without getting the right amount of praise.

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to do simple things I knew how to do in LBP1 in LBP2.
For example, the "one shot" mechanic is now gone. If I want a movie camera (or anything else) to trigger, run its course, and then never work again, I don't know how to get that to work with the new tools. For example, I want Sackboy to enter into an area and trigger a cutscene. But after it finishes, I don't want the cutscene to retrigger if he goes back to that area. How do I do this? In the old game I'd just select "one shot" in the switches options but now they took that away :l

One shot still exists within the magic mouth options (which is how you did cutscenes in LBP1). With movie cameras, set the camera hold time to a certain time and that will give you what you want.The Lamp said:
Also learning how to use the sequencer will help you out with more complex scenes because of its ability to place tools like the cameras and sounds in a specified timeline.
donkey show

The magic mouth is in the second page of the tools menu under "creature tools" or something like that. As for your other question, then use a sequencer and place the movie camera in the sequencer timeline. Activate the sequencer with the set cutscene with a player sensor that is connected to a counter switch set to max out at 1. Connect that counter switch to the sequencer. This will emulate a permanent switch and the sequencer with the movie camera will not be activated again if you try to reactivate it by running in and out of the player sensor switch.The Lamp said:
Thanks for the help!donkey show said:
You reminded me to ask something about the sequencer. It would seem that you cameras don't work like one would expect when using a sequencer.
Instead of holding out for however long you choose "hold" in the settings, the sequencer immediately disables the camera after the "ticker" passes by its square. So if I wanted a camera to hold out for 8 seconds, and each stripe was a second...I'd have to copy and paste the camera 8 times on 8 different stripes. Is that right? Or is there a way to get it to just hold out a camera for as long as you set it to?

No prob. =)The Lamp said:
When working with a sequencer, you can basically "extend" or "shorten" a tool's activation time on sequencer by grabbing the tool within the sequencer timeline and pressing up or down on the left analog stick. If done right, you'll see the tool grow or shrink, signifying the length of time it will be active. So with your movie camera, you only need to extend it 8 strips long as having multiple cameras like you mention will not work the way you want it to.
This also applies to sounds, keys, movers, rotators, etc.
Its been all this time, and I cant believe i'm just getting around to finishing my first level...which kinda brings me to the question: When creating, do you guys just focus on one project at a time, or try to work on several at once?
Trying to work on a series of (hopefully) quality platforming stages to tie into one game...hopefully i'm not focusing too much on looks, since the first stage still feels kinda easy. Then again, maybe thats best since its the first stage.
Just gotta figure out how to make a good boss battle and wrestle with the music creator now

OHHHHHHH wow, I didn't know that. Thank you!
BTW people I found a YouTube channel that has a bunch of LBP2 video tutorials. Glad I found it. It explained a lot of things. http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/sh...torial-channel&p=828363&viewfull=1#post828363
I'm a huge fan of the LBP series, but my biggest complaint is that some of the simplest things your mind says "Okay, I want to make this" are difficult or complicated to do. LBP2 shortened this gap considerably, but there's still things like "I want to create a simple menu system" or "I want this camera to follow this playable Sackbot" that feels like it should be a one or two-step process, and it ends up being a mess of logic (at least in the case of Sackbots) that clever community creators have had to think up to get around the confines of the game.
They really should have tried to make this game even more accessible with even simpler switches and mechanisms; it's what prevents a portion of the community from playing. Or at least, shipped the game with tutorials on the disc like those in the above YouTube channel.
Surely a lot of the stuff you think you can't do, you actually can, but it takes a lot of learning and practice (something I'm trying to do this summer) and most people just want to jump in and make what they like. But right now, the tools, as ingenious as they are, still haven't shortened the gap between "this is what I want to make" and "this is what I can make" yet, in my opinion.

Hi Sack-GAF
I havent posted in this thread yet because I havent been able to play much of the online levels and try the recomended levels here, but i have a request to make:
Im doing a little "presentation" for my french course and I was thinking about doing it as a LBP2 level/movie while I (and two other friends) do the talking.
Now, I dont really have a way to take my ps3 there or anything to play the level in front of the others, but I can show videos there. So my request is if once I finish the "level" (i dont have any skills so its gonna be pretty simple) someone can record it for me and upload it somewhere or youtube.
The presentation is for Saturday and im going to try and finish it today or tomorrow, if someone can help me it would be very appreciated, thanks!
