dwarf Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks for the help on this. What if I want some spikes to just be on the floor and not move at all. I literally want to have floor layered with spikes. I actually don't know how to do that. You could just keep laying them down individually but that would take ages. If you use the capture object tool that i mentioned earlier you can just keep laying them down which would save time. An alternative would just be making a thin layer of a material and then adding horrible gas to it... Browse around and you'll probably find out, maybe someone here could help.

Cheers, maybe the gas option would be a better and much easier idea, as it is only for in between platforms. I have googled it to see if I could find out how to have a bed of spikes but can't see anything. I'm also thinking of having a wooden backdrop so I can just stick everything to it rather than worrying about having to get stuff up in the air. Now I've started I suddenly just keep thinking about what I might wanna do with the level. If only I actually had some time to make something decent.
Diageo Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 In the dangerous portion of the tools where u can get bombs, u can get spikes as well and then u can put like 5 beside each other, then save and duplicate and lay them on the ground, not so hard....
That Guy Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Ah didn't realise they were in tools. Cheers for that.
dwarf Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I've almost finished the foundations for my new level. Can't wait to spice it up once it's done.
That Guy Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 My level is kinda naff lol. I just played quite a good one and it made me realise how lacking in creativity I am :p Not only that but I'm still finding it difficult to do what I want in create mode. It's kind of annoying that I can't just stick stuff where I want to.
dwarf Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Are you talking in general or about the issue of suspending any material in the air? I think the easier method is to make a thin plane of Dark Matter and whack it in the background. After just place the material in front and hold down 'x' to stick it and hey presto. But yeah it can be hard to get things to work exactly like you plan - I've had to compromise by level somewhat.

Yeah there is that, but mostly just little things I wanted to do but couldn't figure out how. I think with more practice I'll get better.
CoolFunkMan Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 MGS4 Sackpeople and level kit!!! http://kotaku.com/5111964/metal-gear-solid-4-sackboys-yes-plural-level-pack-arriving-soon?skyline=true&s=x Coming very soon apparently
Sheikah Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I hope it's cheap as it's not going to last more than five minutes. The levels are very short in general and the costumes look brill but everyone will be wearing them, probably. Then again, they charged a bucket for the 1st week T-shirts, so we can probably expect more of the same here.
That Guy Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I'm running out of ideas for my level lol. It's a bit short, but I might just decorate it a little and then publish it and let people give suggestions on how I could improve it.

Sheikah Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I want young Snake face. Anyone know if there'll be a young Snake outfit?
flameboy Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I have actually gotten back into this and am trying to complete the story mode. Up to The Collectors level stuck in the bunker where there is this massive wheel can get quite close to the bottom but not all the way through it.

Yeah man, those collector levels are pretty sodding irritating. I'll just add a little bit more to my level probably on Monday, then I'm gonna make a copy and put up a test for some people to try. If you all think it's crap then I'm gonna stop trying :p I think it's not too bad for a first try though. Not a patch on a lot of the levels out there. Seems to be a lot easier to find the decent stuff now on the menu. A lot of 4 star levels on that 'Cool Level's' page. Before there was a load of crap on there.

Yeah I put pouring hours into creating on the back burner when I realised I wasn't all that good at it..Gonna try and get back into it though. Been loving playing some of the user generated levels. Played a gorgeous Spirited Away level, mostly a music level, gorgeous all the same. It is on my hearted if anyone wants to check it out.
Diageo Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Is it just me or the user created levels have improved in quality dramatically?
That Guy Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Is it just me or the user created levels have improved in quality dramatically? They might have done, but it might just be that levels that are actually cool are in the cool levels page now. I will be publishing my level at some point this week. I've got no time all week, with work for 3 days, and being with my girlfriend, and I've got World of Goo and Prince of Persia to play at some point. It's still too short, but I don't know what else to do in it. I'm gonna add another little bit in there then stick my score board in there, and publish it.
Diageo Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Just played a dead space level by bears something. Best thing I have ever seen, be sure to check it out really, its amazing. Its in my hearted levels if you wanna look for it that way.

I think it's the only one I've seen that was rated 5 stars. Was seriously cool. The amount of time taken to make that must be epic.
dazzybee Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Okay, so I'm getting this game for Christmas. Is the playability really good or is it really about the style and design of the levels and characters?
tapedeck Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Okay, so I'm getting this game for Christmas. Is the playability really good or is it really about the style and design of the levels and characters? Replayability is good due to user-created content and if you get the bug for making your own levels. (It WILL happen!) Co-op play is also great fun. (And a hoot!) Style and design is as incredible as you can imagine
