Limitations with decorations (pipes vanish)

Archive: 7 posts


Basically, I have an issue where my pipes keep vanishing in create mode. I have an area that is VERY detailed, with a lot of objects and stickers and decorations. Also, it's just the pipes that go - I wouldn't mind so much if I lost some stickers or a vent or two, but I NEED the pipes! I know that there is a limit to the decorations on a single object, but the scene is modular and made up of many unconnected objects (so I can dismantle it easilly).

Is there some limit to the number of decorations / stickers in a certain area?

Yes it seems to start glitching after you use a certain number of stickers and decorations.

This happens all the time with my levels. I have a star (you know those little spring stars) that always disappears in my level The Banana Horde and air shafts in Sack's In The City.

I notice that when you put decoration on the SIDE of objects they seem to disappear more easily. It's better to put them in front or on top.

I thought as much, but is this for the entire level, or is it localised. Because if I have gone over some level limit already then my level is boned.

Annoyingly, the pipes actually form part of a hazard so the positioning of them is very important and they are a pain to line up on a ceiling anyway!

The only suggestion I can think of is to make your own, but that will no doubt be time consuming and not very detailed.

But yeah, they should certainly fix you or atleast confirm when this process will begin.

How many you got? I use pipes throughout Eddy Mitter. Feel free to have a look through that to see if it compares as none of them ever vanished.2009-05-13 06:15:00

Actually it will disappear in different spots when you're getting near the limit. If you cross the limit (i've seen only one level cross this line - LBP draw), stickers and deco simply stop spawning.

Matt - it's a combination of stickers and other decorations and pipes. There are a LOT of the "realistic" stickers to create a run down, dirty, decrepit subteranean sewer / industrial feel. Possably some of these a vanishing as well but I haven't noticed. It is strange how none of the others decorations are affected though.

Thanks for the info ranger, I think I may have to go back and reduce some of the detail, or create some custom stickers for some of the sections. I'm nearly regretting not making something simple first now
