Transparent Custom Stickers!

Archive: 34 posts


I recently played a level on Cool Levels that has something to do with giving away "paint" stickers, and 2 at the end of the level are custom stickers of 2 Sackboys with transparent backgrounds! I messaged the level creator on how to do it, but haven't gotten a response yet.

I was actually able to create a fully transparent sticker by severely lagging in Create Mode then snapping the photo. Could it be possible that Sackboy has to be in the field of vision during this time?

Was that NemesisNinja's paint shop? Yeah, someone once told me that it happens randomly. It'd be great if Mm had a feature like this in the future. Sure would be handy!2009-12-03 16:14:00

Yes it was! ShadowNinjaX created the stickers, and interestingly, he has a locked level on his moon with one of them as the patch image. So maybe he's using it as a vault or is going to share his method in the future?

I tried the lagging trick again but all I got was either completely transparent, completely dark yellow, or pictures of a missing Sackboy with eyes and teeth still floating in mid-air. :eek:

Here are the exported images. Notice the gray and white checkered background. This is the transparency pattern for the image format.

Maybe there's a color the game reads as "null" and the guy found it???

Possibly, but the checker pattern may also trigger transparency in the game. I asked him if I could help him discover more on it and it seems like he's going to let me, but of course, the method is still a secret.2009-12-03 22:03:00

Incinerator has a transparent sticker too, and he says it happens very rarely.

I remember one of my friends had made one of these stickers, I was going to ask him how he did it but honestly I didn't care. They look pretty cool though.2009-12-04 00:29:00

I remember playing a level that gave away alot of custom stickers, can't remember the level name or the author... but it had a shed load of stickers - unfortunately all inexpertly designed so I didn't keep them.
But they all had custom shapes for whatever it was a stciker of (ie; heart shaped for a heart);

Was he just using a transparent background?

I would love to know how this is done

Never heard of the lagging method :o
Anyone care to explain in a little more detail?

I would love a sticker like my avatar in game.
Man I hate it when people keep stuff like this to themselves. So selfish.

I've accidently taken one Transparent photo myself, After the Thermo had Overheated, and Lag cause everything to appear as That little Blacl/Yellow Exclamation mark, I tried to take a Photo to see If the others were seeing this - Hence, an Invisible sticker (Except, nothing was in the Way, so now I've jut got a 'Nothing' Sticker in my Popit!?)

So, maybe this "texture not loaded" color isn't dectected by the sticker capture tool, and in instead goes transparent?
We need to try taking a picture of a normal object over this "texture" and see the results. Problem, how are we going avoid the object itself getting that "texture"?

So:

1. Shove a load of bombs into a level so it over heats and lags. Take a picture.
2. ????
3. Profit!

If you want a picture of randomly placed bombs with transparent background, yes.

Not selfish, protection against over-spreading it and being fixed.

Full transparency is different and easier than semi-transparency. Just make an "invisible pod" by putting many detailed decorations in a small area, then take a picture.

Do a search that should take you 10 minutes at most.

To cut to the point: It's not something you can choose to use. It's random.

Heres how the transparent glitch works.

Sometimes the game cannot render a material and that material turns completly black. Now if you take a picture of it that part will become tranparent. Those materials come up completey random, with a profile error message as well. Anything can corrupt and not render correctly, even the controller in the pod. Almost all the Tranparent stickers you see were made mostly by Creator_B. He got this glitch and he left his ps3 on for a while and made a ton of them. Oh yeah, and Creator_B has a ps3 that freezes up all the time so maybe thats why he got this glitch a couple times.

Oh yeah, and you can make a completley tranparent sticker by going into your pod and placing a custom sticker and just make it HUGE, like keep making it bigger for about 2 minutes.

Not selfish, protection against over-spreading it and being fixed. Rather have transparant stickers than the overspreading of the hotelsharkbombsurvivalcheetah's.
And it wont be fixed, If it needed fixing it would have allready been done.
In theory All MM needed to do was to check one of the stickers made by this glitch and "overwrite" the transparancy with another color.

They just wont fix it, period.
Even if you would use it to copy dlc stickers, they would never have the same quality as the original and therefore useless.

Yes, I thought that too - But MediaMolecule would no longer be needed to create stickers anymore...

Unless of course that means Mm would be able to spend more time working on other things?


I withdraw my contradiction!

Whilst recording for a new video, I think I found this glitch.
However, it dissapeared soon after :/

As you can see, there is the black material that was mentioned.

I think it happens when the game is loading, because in samlot's pic, the black-ness (lol) is there while the loading icon is, and in the second pic, its gone, and so is the loading icon. Nice crown, lol! 2010-09-07 12:57:00

Yup, this looks like shaders problems. Probably memory problems.
