Archive: 17 posts


Hi guys out of all my levels I like this one the best I really worked hard on it and would like to share it will all of you and hear what you think about it.

Level name: Alien home world

PSN: Xeno_Destroyer

Description: You start out in a small ship and crash on a creepy alien planet. After a short walk you find an alien base and go inside only to find out these aliens are not very friendly. Now you must try to escape and find a way back home to LBP.

A few tips.

- When you activate a switch that is connected to a piston, you have the switch set to on/off. You should set them to directional, unless you want them going up and down. Eg the door in the prison would go up and stay up if you had it set to directional.
It would also stop platforms and lifts going the wrong way for a second or two while they finish their cycle.

- Just before the UFO takes you up to the mothership, you have a corridor with electric bars going up and down. However the player is almost completely obscured by a wall. It`s also dark there, which forced me to throw on a glowing costume. Players should always be able to see what they`re doing.

-The guy after the bridge is a cheap death. You walk through that corridor, can`t see yourself and out of nowhere get shot.

- I might be wrong, but I get the feeling that if the UFO at the end squashes you as you land, that you`ll be stuck up on the mothership? I only just moved before it rolled on me and as I hadn`t reached the checkpoint yet I thought I`d bring it up.

Level is quite good though.

to gulliver49: I don't have anything to take pics with

to Matt 82:

1. Yes that prison door just won't do what I want it to errr >.< I'll have to keep fooling with it.

2. I was just thinking about that part today so I'll go in and put more window and light so you can see

3. that guy is kinda annoying so I'll just replace him with a bunch of dead sack boys

4. I have never had any problems with the ship landing on me but people have said it happens so maybe i can just pop a checkpoint on the ship

I've played this with you so you know I like it already. It's loaded with stuff to do and is fun with a group. Not much else I can say except I liked it and it was fun. 2009-06-22 22:24:00

There's a thread around here somewhere about how to shrink checkpoint/scoreboards and other stuff your not supposed to be able to shrink. Has to do with capturing, emiting, recapturing them or something (sorry I don't have it memorized.) Check the search for resizing and I'm sure it will pop up. If not pm me and I'll find it for you.

Could you maybe edit your original post with the new name? I had a hard time finding the level. Also, in the description of the level in LBP, you still call it "Aztec." Also, after rescuing the prisoners, a sackboy with a baseball cap says "Aztec" instead of "Alien."

Ack, just after that spot, on the blue VR grid elevator, I fell out. I know I'm an idiot for running around in the elevator, but a safety door could save me and other idiots. Fortunately, the elevator moves up and down. It did take several seconds to return, though. I'd probably have assumed it was never coming back and restarted if I weren't typing about it long enough for it to come back down.

Another spot I got stuck... I'll attach a screenie.

There's a text bubble that says "That must be the controls so I can free the prisoners and open the elevator" and next to that, a switch on the wall. I hit the switch heard a scream, and went back to check the elevator. But nothing is there. So I guess I can't complete the level.

I enjoyed what I could play, however. It has a great atmosphere/environment. Sackboy says it well when he says "This is one creepy planet."

Here are some screenies you could edit into the original post if you want to use them. I just point my camera at my TV, so the quality isn't great, especially since the level is so dark.

1) Capture a checkpoint (doesn't matter which kind).
2) Have it emit it BUT while placing it, you can adjust it's size.
3) Make the settings
Frequency: 0.1
Lifespan: Forever
Max Emitted: 1

It should emit smaller checkpoints.
4) Capture one.

On your original post here on the thread go to edit, then hit go advanced and you'll be able to change the thread name to the new level title. Also I got some photos for you. They aren't the best photos ever but I managed to shoot a few while playing...

I hit it like, sixteen times. That may have been why it wasn't working. I hit it and saw the message about hearing a door, then I hit it a couple more times "just in case." Then I kept hitting it since nothing was happening and nothing happened afterward.2009-06-25 05:09:00

nothing happens in that room you need to go back down to the black area with the arrow where it said "this looks like an elevator" did you go back to that spot?2009-06-25 13:49:00
