That's pretty interesting, I'll check out the video.
Well at least your level got some attention and positive feedback. Crown levels, really annoying aren't they? I've not seen anyone on the forums talk about this message I keep getting, which leads me to believe that people aren't doing much to push the limits of the engine, or I have horrible luck. Lol With regards to my vehicles, nothing published. With the God glitch issue, I'm not taking the chance. The content is actually derived from a script and designs I've been working on the past 3-4 years that is intended as a pitch for an animated tv show/filmSTMooking into the legal issues of copyright and recreating this material in LBP and how it might affect my ownership of the material. I do have a video that shows a truck from the vehicle designs that I put on YouTube to illustrate some of the lighting issues I was seeing with the 1.02 patch.

Yeah, I'm hoping it's a bug as well. Actually it did get quite a bit of attention, despite being incomplete - I got about a hundred positive feedback and quite a few plays, so I'm pretty satisfied with that, since that's really the first real level I've published. It managed to stay on the cool pages for about a day, but it was wiped clean off when those "FREE CROWN OMGZ" spam levels took over. But I'm going to start from scratch come LBP2 and make it even better. I haven't gotten that "too much in this area" message yet, actually, but then again I haven't been terribly active in Create lately. Have you got a level with the vehicles on display? I'd like to see them.
Well I certainly hope its a bug and not intentional. It was a brilliant feature and the only way to have characters sit believably. I'm just going to convince myself it's a bug so I don't pull my hair out in frustration. Sorry to hear about your level not getting the full attention it should have, that sucks. I thought there was a thermo issue in the patch. I'm mostly getting annoyed with this new " You have too much in this area, try spacing things apart" message. The warning is nice, but I wish we could get more complex stuff going on closer in relation to each other. I'm not worried about losing things in the beta and I've been documenting through photos and video. I've designed a few new vehicles that are really great looking and all the "lines" on them have come together making them really slick looking. I just hope I can recreate and do them justice in the full version.
Well, that's pretty bad timing, huh? I bet it'll be fixed by the next patch. Unless it was intentional, that is... I thought I had something worth publishing, too, something that would have really been great, but 1.03 came along and filled up the three notches of thermo I had left! I had to publish it unfinished because I'd been working on it for a month or so and didn't want it to go to waste. Ah well, these aren't going to carry over anyway, and you lose something only to gain something better.
Yeah, I was in the middle of a 3 part video tutorial on camera set-ups when the patch came out. Now the second half is going to be a bit weird looking because of this, and the level that coincides with the video won't get published at all unless they fix it. I thought I finally might have something worth publishing in the beta... to maybe inspire some other players, but now it may not happen. Oh well, as long as it's fixed by the release date then I suppose I can live with it.
Yeah, I was pretty upset when I found out, unfortunately it ruins a lot of effects that could be achieved with invisible DCS before. Glad I could help, it's no problem at all.
Hey, thanks for the info! Turns out that's exactly the problem, and I hadn't even gotten around to trying to figure out what had gone wrong at the time I mentioned that new bug. Sorry for not thanking you sooner, I've completely forgotten about the little blue "message notification" tab at the top of my page and I don't get mail very often so I'm not in the habit of checking it. Anyways, I just went and did a test to check your theory and you were bang on with your thoughts. It's a pretty annoying bug. Thanks for helping me out! Cheers!
Hey, I saw you mentioned that after the patch, all of your Sackbot characters had disappeared in one of your levels or somethin'? If you set a Controllinator to invisible in Play Mode, unfortunately whatever is sitting in it also turns invisible as well. That means you can't give the effect of a Sackboy/Sackbot sitting down unless the Controllinator is visible. :/
