Online Create Camera?

Archive: 12 posts


Hey! I have no idea how online create mode works right now, but I was thinking of how the camera should work earlier and this is what I came up with:

You should be able to switch between fullscreen and splitscreen
(upon entering, 1st player decides this, during create, anyone chooses in start menu, but everyone must confirm switch)

For splitscreen:
There should be up to 3 choices for how screen is split-2p, 3p, and 4p

If you have, say, 4 players, but 2 or 3 need to work together, you should be able to choose a 2p or 3p screen and select which section of screen you want to create in, so you can work with someone in one area, while allowing the other(s) to work somewhere else.

I dunno if this would be too much to be able to implement, but it's the best I could think of for a users-friendly camera system for create!

Have you guys thought of anything yourselves? If so, let's see!

I thought of something like this, except it was like automatic, if the person is really is more than a set distance then it automatically "snaps" the screen to separate them for other people.

Also when one person zooms if the other person is not in the same set area, then the camera automatically splits to include both of them.

That sounds so much easier Fyren! And i think if they find a good camera system in online create, it's possible that they'll implement it in local create too Defaultsound, but I don't know for sure.2009-05-11 15:32:00

Let's hope that they're working on it and it's brought to their attention! (hint hint Beta testers, do us proud!)

Im thinking the best would be for the camera to follow each player individually and inore the other players. Split screen would be nice to see what the other person is doing but for some really complex stuff you would need the whole screen to yourself. Suppose we will just have to wait and see 2009-05-11 15:51:00

I think it would be best if each player has a whole screen that just follows their sackboy, much like single player create mode is now. That way all players could work on anything they like and control the camera however they like.
Splitscreen would be nice to see what the other person is doing but you could also just fly over to them and take a look that way.

Yeah, now that I think about it, what I was thinking is way too complicated. Your way keeps it simple, and allows everyone to see whatever it is they need. Shoulda been obvious to do it that way from the start!

Indeed... Let's say somebody wants to create something or needs to move something that really big... and the other person needs to do create something really small... I mean to share the camera just really doesn't work with stuff like this :/

I vote for: Every sack has it's own camera

I was thinking that when you were about to go off screen the camera would follow you like in regular create mode so each person has there own individual camera2009-05-11 22:53:00

Individual Camera, but it shows where the other players are, like if someone goes off-screen in local Create Mode.2009-05-12 01:33:00

There seems to be a consensus with each player w/ his own camera...and it really does seem to be the best option. They should employ this with local create too (splitscreen for local)2009-05-12 01:51:00
