Transparent Sticker Glitch Service - NO LONGER AVALIABLE

Archive: 213 posts


Glitch no longer works. Sorry guys. No more transparent stickers can be made now.2010-01-19 02:35:00

So he can put down stickers and decorations without having to put it on something?2010-01-19 03:15:00

No, what I meant was he can take an object and crop out the background so when you place the sticker you only see the object and not a background. For instance, if I sent him a cut out of a circle, he could send me a sticker of that circle as just the circle, no background around it. That way when I place it, there is no rectangular background around it.2010-01-19 03:45:00

This is not a joke, he can actually do it! Only for a VERY short time though!2010-01-19 04:13:00

Can he do everyone at LBPC a favor and do our sticker? I have a copyable version of the actual logo in my copyable Bakstratch Glitch Layer level. It's in the background layers currently, but he should be able to take a picture of it regardless.

I'm going to be sad if he knows how to replicate it and won't share the process.

Edit: Your post seems contradictory. What makes his ability to replicate the glitch time sensitive, rare, yet open to requests? If it smells fishy, and seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I think what is time sensitive is that he is only going to do it for a limited period of time.

I am not sure why he is volunteering instead of sharing the how to, but people will go to strange lengths for recognition.

The reason this glitch cannot be shared is simply due to the fact that it cannot be duplicated. You see, this glitch happens very rarely for unknown reasons. Therefore, when it does occur, it is very important to take advantage of it. Another problem with this glitch is that it stops working for unknown reasons as well. So please, if you have any sticker requests please tell Creator_B as soon as possible. Thank you!2010-01-19 04:39:00

The reason is because this glitch is very unstable. It is eventually stops working for unknown reasons. The reason he is open to requests is so that he can make the most of the glitch while it is still avaliable to the community. So with that said, I urge to contact Creator_B yourself and see what this is all about.

I can guarantee you guys that this glitch will not last for long. Sooner or later it will stop working and he will no longer be able to do any sticker requests. So if you have any now, please submit them to him. And if you're still skeptical, please contact him yourself and see what he can do for you. Also, if any of the people here on the forums have received any of these stickers from Creator_B please share your experience so that we may enlighten the rest of the community here - Thank You2010-01-19 04:46:00

Also, I would greatly appreciate if someone would be nice enough to go on littlebigworkshop.com and post a thread with the OP. I wish to inform as many as people as possible regarding this glitch before its gone. Thank you2010-01-19 04:57:00

How can it be guaranteed if the reasons are unknown?

I can only guarantee the stickers until the glitch stops working. However, the glitch will stop working eventually, as I have learned in previous experiences, and no more transparent stickers will be avaliable to make. The cause still remains unknown for why the glitch starts and stops. As soon as it stops working, I will make a post informing you all about it. After that period no more stickers will be made and we will all have to wait until the glitch happens again - which could be never - so please take advantage and spread the word while we still can!

Interesting.

I have no particular sticker requests - but if this is true, it would be nice if he just published a level with all the sticker-cut-outs he made in it.

Doesn't even need prize bubbles, people could just pick the stickers off the objects.

Ok, let me tell you all this:
I asked him to make some for me from objects I sent him, and it worked perfectly. The limited time is because it will only work until it just stops for some reason, or he stops the game. Like the black popit, but much more bizarre.

Well, it isn't a hoax. Incinerator just sent me the LBPC logo sans a background. It's a little jaggedy, but cool nonetheless.2010-01-19 05:14:00

Yup, I was on with Incinerator for all of this and we frantically came up with stuff to send him

I sent two logos, all colors of mag keys and switches (activated and unactivated), some cutouts, and a rocket cheetah to become stickerized.
I got all of it

Alright guys, if there's no more takers than I guess Creator_B will be calling it a night now. Sticker requests will be avaliable tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, feel free to add Creator_B to your friends list and if he's already full, just send him a PM saying you have a sticker request for him and he will answer it as soon as possible. Hopefully, the sticker glitch will continue to work and we can continue to make really cool stickers for people. Make sure to tell everyone you know about this service because it won't last forever and I know how valuable this can be to some fancy creators out there. I'll give everyone the notice when the service will be avaliable tomorrow so no worries. Thank You!2010-01-19 06:10:00

ive seen it before, this isnt a hoax guys. ive got a good enought reputation to stick my neck out and say that this glitch DOES exist and is very elusive. i accidentally did it once, and havent been able to since the 1 time. we need to investigate futher, because this could be an invaluable tool to us creators. its a finicky glitch, but if we got 3d layers to be stable, this canbe stable too!!2010-01-19 06:33:00

ok first off, If Creator_b wan'ted to do the community a favour, telling us how he does it would be the biggest gift he could do. He would still get the recognition he deserves but would allow for much more people to experiment with it and find ways of recreating the glitch every time. I never understand why some people would rather keep it a secret. It only starts to annoy people and Im sure he doesn't want to have that happen seeing as he is doing this for notoriety in the first place.

If the community had the info creator b has we would be able to sovle the problems a lot quicker than him working on it alone.

just my view.

To wex: From what I've heard about the glitch, some people randomly have the glitch happen. Essentially, basic cardboard appears as transparency in screenshots. However. the glitch isnt in effect every time they play. I guess it worked today for this guy, and he thought he'd share his fortune!2010-01-19 13:56:00

I almost wanted to report that post, lol. It's an unreproducible glitch, you can't just decide when to do it, and Creator_B is being kind enough to spread the word to lbp. He took the time to make and even name 25+ stickers for Hibsi and I and who knows how many other people. He's making creators' dreams come true in his own freetime instead of hiding the glitch to himself, which is absolutely wonderful.

idk. i just think we all need to put our heads together, and figure out this glitch. everything has a cause. and we need to, rather than produce the glitch, figure out the cause. thats how we can effectively stablize this glitch, and understand how it works. does B know whathe was doing at the time of the first occurance? and can he share with us to help replicate the effect of the cause? thats the only way we are going to catch this sasquatch.2010-01-20 00:34:00

i think... that if he doesnt want the community to do this (by themselfs) that is a little selfish.

i mean... when the "3d matearial" glitch came out (still not patched), it was like the sack god came down and granted us a new material made by himself. (of coarse we game the guy his credit... he deserved it!)

so why wont he release it to the public?

Because he doesn't know how to reproduce the glitch, so far people have only gotten it randomly, before it suddenly goes away again. That's why the offer is only for a limited time as well, because it can disapear.2010-01-20 13:22:00

I had a completely clear sticker on my now deleted PS3 HD save... it was simple to make, just overload a level in create mode in such a way, in a concentrated area that nothing can be displayed on screen. Take a picture of all the exclamation points and you have a transparent sticker, good for laminating and protecting from stickering mistakes during intense decorations or protecting from paint splatters.2010-01-20 16:50:00

Ok guys we are back and open for business. Sorry we weren't avaliable yesterday, we have finals in school and they have really been killing us lately. We are currently taking the time now to fill in more requests so if you have any objects you want us to make stickers for, please let Creator_B know as soon as possible.

I also want to take the time to clarify one thing. I understand some of you people think that Creator_B knows how to do the glitch at his own will. This is completely untrue. Like I have stated in my previous posts, this is a very rare glitch that happens VERY randomly. The cause of the glitch is completely UNKNOWN. We do not know in ANY way how to reproduce this glitch or even how to try to attempt so. I give everyone my solemn word that if we do learn how to reproduce the glitch, we will be more than happy to show everyone how to do it. Meanwhile, the only thing we can do is take people's requests and make stickers for them. The glitch will not last forever and as of now, there is absolutely no known way on how to reproduce it. Thank you

I don't understand though. It seems Creator_B is able to turn off his PlayStation without nullifying the glitch. Surely, this indicates this isn't a client-side issue. But it can't possibly be server-side either, since that would affect anyone. In either case, how it's temporary puzzles me even more. There has to be SOME variable here. Something out of the ordinary. This doesn't just happen.

That being said, don't take it for me not trusting you. I'm assuming you guys are just as puzzled as I am. Just thinking out loud.

It's rare but not that rare in some ways. I have a separate person o0n my friends list who's gotten the glitch three times. Most people it will never happen to at all, but a few people will have it happen to them a couple of times.

To find out how to activate the glitch seems pointless though. This is LBP. The strangest things happen for no apparent reason at the most unexpecting times.

That being said, don't take it for me not trusting you. I'm assuming you guys are just as puzzled as I am. Just thinking out loud.

Due to the extreme rareness of the glitch, we do not shut off our PS3 and plan to leave it on until the glitch stops working for some weird reason or if the game freezes. (Highly likable) This is indeed a client-side glitch. What we have is a glitched material that glows a black color. The glowing black, however, is only noticeable to us and is not visible to other users. The material appears normal to other users. In order to preserve the glitch, we do not leave the level in which the glitch was founded in nor do we allow other users to join. This is to ensure that the glitch continues to work properly. As you can imagine though, we cannot keep the game from freezing or leave the PS3 on forever. We also have confirmed, from previous experiences, that saving the profile or the material will not preserve the glitch. We can only allow our service until the glitch stops working on its own or until the PS3 freezes, so please take advantage while you still can. Once its gone, its gone until someone else discovers it.

Thanks for the explanation, Enlong...3? Weren't you Enlong2 just some hours ago?

In any case, if you have a fan, I suggest you use it to prevent PS3 overheating. If the PS3 is in a closed area, do everything possible to be able to keep it ventilated.

I admire your honesty and the mature way you guys are handling this, as well as the way you're sharing the glitch.

Thank you, and yes I was enlong2 just a day ago but for some weird reason I couldn't log back on that account and when I tried to request my password, it said it didn't recognize my email - weird. But not to worry, I quickly made a new account so I could back here to inform everyone about this glitch from above. Hopefully, our PS3 won't overheat or get the YLOD but I always have that feeling that its just around the corner.

I would be more afraid of someone spamming the invite button, because you can auto-block join but not invite requests. Please be careful not to add any spammers or anything too who just want stickers for selfish gains, or people who think they're more important than the other requestors.

Mainly, I would hate to have someone invite you and your finger to slip.

How do i sent an object to him?

First, you need to send a friend request to Creator_B on your PS3. Then, once he accepts it, you can go into LBP and select the object you want to send him. Look for the object you want to send and when you see it, click SQUARE then select SEND TO MY FRIEND, then select Creator_B and click X. You will be brought to a message you are going to send to him. Click send and he will have received the object - Thank You.

If you need more information on how to do this, please just respond back.

No worries, if anyone attempts to abuse the service in such a way as disrupting the sticker process through spam or another annoying gesture, they will be immediately removed from the friends list and denied the privilege of having their stickers created.

For some weird reason I can't log back on enlong2. And yes, the glitch still works and we are still offering our sticker making service. I think we are close to making 100+ stickers without backgrounds. Not bad, but we are still open to requests, so if you think you're interested please message Creator_B and he can tell you how to send him your objects.

OK, Creator_B will probably only be on for about 10 more minutes, so if any of you guys have any last minute requests, this is the time to get them in. Unfortunately, I can't promise that we'll be avaliable long to take requests tomorrow. If we are away, please just send any inquires to Creator_B by means of messaging. I'll make sure that Creator_B responds to all requests within 24 hours - that is our guarantee. And please guys, if you know anyone that you think might be interested in this glitch, please notify them of it so that we may work with them to create really awesome stickers before this glitch stops working. Thank You!2010-01-21 05:48:00

No, it just means he has been helping a lot of people out by doing the glitch for them. He just needs to delete customers who have received their stickers.

If he can repeat it,
we all can, so dont act so shady "plz add me" kind of way

we all can, so dont act so shady "plz add me" kind of way
(because you are creator_B but you would never admit it).

He has described it, and there is no need to involve any carps.
He has said he is Creator_B's brother/manager, and is not being shady at all.

However I am wondering if you could save the black box as an object and see if you can give the glitch to others.

I couldn't add him as a friend because he's full. That's not very efficient, is it? I sent him a message and I'm not sure I've got a reply yet.


We apologize for the inconvenience, we are just now filling the sticker requests we have received. I do seem to recall, however, that we sent you a response to your message. Please check your inbox and let us know if you received our message.

We might not be able to accept all friend requests right away due to the limited friend space. If this is the case, please just send a message and we will make room for your request as soon as we can.

*nods head*

(because you are creator_B but you would never admit it).

I know this all may seem like a way to make ourselves famous, but it really isn't. As I have already said a dozen times, this is a rare glitch that can not be reproduced by anyone as of now. If you still have trouble believing me, then I ask you to ask other people that have experienced the same glitch and they will tell you the same thing. If you think you know better why don't you try and talk to ShadowninjaX, he also experienced this glitch and was never able to reproduce it. We did try and work together to find a way to make it happen again, but we came up with nothing. As soon as we can find a way to recreate it, we will the share the information with everyone.

Cool. If you can, try and ask him if he thinks he can try and create a way to reproduce the glitch on his own. I, like everyone else here, would love to find a way to be able to do this glitch at my own will.

Would it be possible for everyone with these stickers - Creator_B and Enlong included if possible - to simply publish a level with all of the stickers in it. You don't even have to put them in prize bubbles - they can be ripped right off of cardboard. It would just be nice if we all shared these stickers.2010-01-22 01:05:00

We should think carefully about what stickers can be created to benefit everybody while we have the chance. I sent him various black line shapes. Since we don't have the ability to 'draw' anything, I made black lines of different sizes, arcs, hollow squares, triangles, circles, and ovals, and colored triangles. I also thought 'textures' would be useful & made a couple simple ones (dots and lines). If anybody out there is a skilled artist and can make good textures, you might want to consider this..2010-01-22 08:00:00

this is a rare glitch that can not be reproduced by anyone as of now.how can you be sure, you cannot be.



I was thinking of doing this after the glitch stops working. As long as MM doesnt think its important, it wont be fixed.
If MM only found out recently, chances are it wont be fixed in a long time.
nontheless, you have to wait for the next lbp update to find out, and I am positive that something like this isnt high on the list of things that need fixing (just like the 3d glitch).

I understand that the glitch doesnt appear when you want to.. YET.
But if you got it active in a level..
Just make the level copyable so we can all try it?

Shoot me if I'm wrong.

They know (or have heard) of people having this glitch, and then suddenly, it has disapeared again, cause = unknown.
That's what they mean by them saying they will probably publish after the glitch stops working. (They are asuming that at one point, the glitch will disapear.

What is more likely - that they left the PS3 on, in create mode, in one level, for days OR

They have came and gone from that level.

Should be easy - plenty people here got stickers. That means plenty people here added him as a friend. His status has never changed at all?

This glitch is amazing! I'd like to thank you and your brother for sharing this awesome glitch with the rest of the LBP community Enlong2.

I wonder if Media Molecule put this thing in intentionally like the black popit, like an easter egg. On the other hand, this glitch could be considered too big to be an easter egg. However, if MM did put this in intentionally there is almost certainly a way to reproduce it.

Has anybody found any advances on learning how to reproduce this yet?

Of course you may publish the stickers. In fact, we encourage people to publish their levels using the stickers we sent them. We would also appreciate it if you could release them to the public as prize bubbles so that we can begin to circulate some of these interesting stickers.

We are currently looking for ways to reproduce this glitch without leaving the level. So far, we have tried sending the material as an object to friends and there has been no luck with that. The material to them appears as the normal material That is probably why the glitch cannot be shared. Only we can see and take advantage of the glitch. If I invited you to the level where the glitch was happening, you would see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. The same thing happens when this glitch appears on costumes. The glitch simply doesn't work for other users. Only on our side does the glitch function. I don't why yet. Could be of some loading error tho.

Actually, your first assumption is correct. We have not left the level since Sunday believe it or not and we currently do not have any intentions of leaving until something forces the glitch to stop working. I prefer not to take any risks with this glitch knowing how easy it can be to have it stop working.

The black popit wasn't meant to be an easter egg it was originally a colour you could choose but they took it out of the game and i guess they forgot to fully take it out meaning it could still be used but not as simply as the others.

On topic: I'm trying to find out how to re-create this but i have a question that could help out ever so much. When this glitch happend can you tell me exactly (without missing out any details) what you were doing when this happend? Were you perhaps making a level very very complicated and overheating it? cause someone said you can make invisible stickers by taking a picture of an overly complicated level and it works...

Well, when this glitch happened, we were working on a level for the baby its cold outside contest. We were building a room that used a wood material. We left for about half an hour and when we came back, we noticed that the middle lane of the wood material had begun to glow black. I immediately realized that this could be the glitch we had been waiting a month for and surely it was. We took a picture of the glowing material and it was transparent in a part. I currently have no idea what could have caused it but my best guess right now would to say it has something to do with the lights that were hanging from the ceiling. In fact, I am almost sure that the glitch might have something to do with lights. And in case if you're still wondering, the thermo wasn't sky high, it was probably around half way or a little more.

And by the way, I have heard of doing that completely transparent sticker glitch and I know for fact that can be reproduced but there's no way to get images as part of the sticker.

to make a transparent sticker, you have to put 100 stickers on your pod. take out say, a white sticker, make it very big, and stick it 100 times. Take a pic anywhere in the pod after, and you have a transparent sticker.

this doesn't have anything to do with making transparent stickers with designs in them, sadly :/

my friend nemesisninja's friend had that glitch happen to him, but he couldn't take pics of shark teeth. wherever there was shark teeth in a picture he took, it became transparent.

when he turned off his ps3, it stopped working apparently.

edit: i saw that steve and this one chick had 2 transparent sticker designs, one saying "noob" and the other was a pink Mm logo. i thought it was the bestest awesome.

Interesting. I don't have anything I need transparent stickers of at the moment (though I'm sure I'll think of about a dozen things I could use about five minutes after the glitch stops working). I've done a bit of experimenting, and I can't seem to recreate the completely transparant sticker from an overloaded level with exclamation points. Just got a bunch of pictures of exclamation points. And I discovered that overloading a level with switched explosives and then setting them off is hilarious.

So, wood and christmas lights? Lots of christmas lights or just a few? The thin layer ones or the ones from the christmas pack? Once the wood was glowing, were you able to copy/paste it in your level and have the copy still glow black? Was the game paused or unpaused when you left and came back (meaning create mode pause OR game pause)? Had anything else happened in the area: like had any of the lights changed or had anything broken? Were there emitters running? Lights turning on/off? Wobble bolts wobbling? Was pressure being put on the object in question? How was it attached to the rest of the level: glued, bolted, piston? Was it touching anything lethal or intersecting gas?

That's a lot of questions, but I'm just trying to figure out every possible variable that could have something to do with it.

Yes, we used the wood with rusted irons and Christmas lights.
We used only 3 Christmas lights
The ones from the Christmas pack? Not exactly sure what you mean by thin layer ones.
Yes, it can be copied and pasted in the level and it still glows black.
It was paused while we were away
No, nothing was changed or broken at the time it happened.
There were no emitters running at the time because it was paused, but there were emitters placed in the level.
The lights remained on the whole time
There are no wobble bolts in the level
There was no pressure being applied to the material, except for the fact that it was acting as the floor at the time and was supporting some objects on it.
The material was glued to the rest of the room.
There was no gas near the material at the time.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We will do anything to help people come up with a way of recreating this glitch. Thank you

Yes, I will be posting a youtube video shortly on what the material currently looks like. I'll keep you all updated when its up. Sorry in advance for the bad quality though, not much more I can do about improving the video quality I'm afraid.

Ok, you can see a video of the glitch here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eF_rVFeTHA

I thought you guys might want to see another example of a glitch that is cool but cannot be saved. This was a piece of glitched glass that appeared rainbow colored. When you moved around, the colors of the rainbow showed. Pretty cool, but was temporary and can not be reproduced.

ok. i watched the transparent sticker vid... blew my mind. Its literal dark matter that eats up any image file behind it. can u do a vid showing EVERYTHING in the level so i can try and reproduce it... or just copy the level and send it to me? im also in the process of hacking my lbp save (a separate backup) and creating a transparent background with my pc and photoshop. im using ur transparent letters as the template... this could become the start of a poorjack sticker pack for yall if im successful. for now, plz send me the whole level as an item if u can. i kno its alot to ask, but its all in the name of *SCIENCE!!!

Fantastic glitch, but I wonder how many people will end up with burnt out PS3s after building levels with rusted wood and christmas lights, then leaving the console on all night...lol! I'm guessing this is an extremely rare event anyway, most likely the result of an overheated PS3 and not a replicable glitch. If it can be reproduced though, this could be the greatest discovery since the Bakscratch glitch! Shame I can't think of any particular requests right now...doesn't sound like this offer's gonna last for long.2010-01-23 03:19:00

After much thought, I have realized what causes this glitch, and is infact RANDOM.

You see, it is a loading error. The texture does not load right, and thus does not exist. So when you take a picture, whatever makes the stickers does not see the textureless part, and thus puts nothing there.

Seriously, isn't this obvious? Or am I smarter than I thought...

This actually makes perfect sense, given the video he posted. The texture failed to load, hence "it does not exist".

UltimateClay, that's not an unreasonable guess, but if it's a loading error, why did it happen after the level had been running for a while. Why did it only affect the one piece of wood and not the other two with the same texture (I'm assuming that all 3 layers were the same wood, but that might be wrong).

Back to my questions. Was it the same material as the other two layers? Have you tried material changing one of the copied/pasted blocks? Why can't you use front view?

I'm out of ideas. Maybe UltimateClay is right.

Lol, I saw your little addition to the level. Took me a little while after I saw it to figure out what in the heck was going on... Then I though, "Oh! He meant let him in to the level!"

Seriously, isn't this obvious? Or am I smarter than I thought...

Actually,
Its either the loading error, or something else.
The "Bug" activated the "Alpha layer" in your own created stickers.
Alpha layer is what most 3d software/engines use to make images (.bmp/.jpg/.dds etc etc) transparant, translucent or see trough.
This also will probably mean that these stickers are bigger in filezise than the stickers without transparant borders since alpha layers can only exists in a 16/32 bit file, or as a seperate file linked trough the engine to work like an alpha layer.

most older game engines (snes age etc) used some kind of pinkish-purple to make things transparant.
(its just a simple code saying if the color is "#E4287C" or "127/100/127" it will be transparant instead of that color.
so it was either a loading bug that forgot to disable alpha layers in self made stickers, or for some reason his combination of colors/lights/bg fog/colors accidently activated it.

Enlong, there is no reason to call this glitch dead. Because of its random nature, no one can be sure whether it will work again or not. We just have to keep testing. I'll be glad to jump on this scientific train.

Now about the glitch itself, I also was able to produce a completely transparent sticker by overheating. When create mode overheats, the game engine must make compromises to prevent the system from freezing altogether. For example, collision checks between objects will not be calculated. This is why if you spam a bunch of objects close together they will start falling through the floor and flying everywhere. Likewise, if you overheat a level to the point where you start seeing ! marks, you'll most likely see parts of the HUD disappear. Even though the space that is captured using the camera tool does not have missing or nonexistant textures, transparency still occurs. My theory is the camera tool is also compromised, meaning the pixels were not drawn because there weren't enough system resources to do so. Just my hypothesis. This obviously does not boil down to the same cause as this glitch as we know it because this method is so reproducable.

Unfortunately, ShadowNinjaX is being a troll, rejecting join requests, saying things like "not now, playing Modern Warfare 2", and removing friends because they simply asked to experiment. You however, Enlong, are much more professional and are reaching out to others. I really like that, as it helps the study of this glitch tremendously. So if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know.

ive created a new material class that i call the "Doom" class of material. as well as an "Infinate Doom" class thats got a scrolling texture and looks cool. its highly unstable and has unpredictable textures, but shows up on the in game camera. once in a while, it doesnt show up, but the original level background is visible in the picture.
More extensive testing is needed at this point in time, but i will try to publish a level with a frame of infinate doom for you to use as a level bg. will update as i progress.

Can't you place the materials first and then place the thermo-buster afterwards?

Anyway, I had a crack at this by overloading a level with christmas lights. As well as having major lag I managed to get one of the materials to turn into a jet black, highly reflective texture for about 5 seconds before it reverted to normal again. I'm pretty sure this happened after I removed a sticker from it. I can't recall the exact name, but it was the bluey-greenish patterned stone tile material.

Back to my questions. Was it the same material as the other two layers? Have you tried material changing one of the copied/pasted blocks? Why can't you use front view?


and:
did the glitched material have any stickers on it before it "glitched" ?
can you clarify something for me. when you were gone for 30 minutes was the GAME paused? or just create mode?
hmmmm how long had it been on before you paused it?

Also, if memory serves, I had first custom stickered 2 separate walls on the back thin layer, then merged them into one wall by placing a square of the same material in between them where it overlapped each part. This messed the stickers up, made them overlap, and when I removed one of these, a completely different area of the level (but still in camera view) turned the texture I described in my last post. The area affected was a custom stickered, 3-layer thick floor made of ceramic tile. I had enough time to zoom in and marvel at this strange "obsidian mirror" for a few seconds before the material returned to it's normal texture, and then reloaded the original sticker that had covered it. I did this in a fully built, thermo heavy level and not a blank template.

Nuff info for y'all?

I think you can force to go over the thero,
by creating one object with 50% of the materials.
and let an emitter emit another object with 50% of the materials.

I did this with bombs, and all of a sudden i had 3x the maxxed thermo amounth lying around.

btw.

chances are that if you create one glitch, something in the memory might "glitch" as well.
Making it easier to "activate" other glitches.

the 3d glitch, cow glitch... can all contribute in re-activating it.
Also, I noticed that if you have an emitter spawning objects..
If it for instance is a DM glued to dissolve..
If you time it right, select the emitted object..
delete its DM.
If you did it right.. you got two of the same objects in one place (minus the DM of one emitted object)
repeat and you can have up to 20+ objects on the same location.

that should get some glitchy results considdering the collisions etc.

I heard from at least one good source and a few less reliable ones..
that this glitch is still available on creators moon and in fact, he is atm using it for some new lbp related website. (candlepants.org)

From what I heard from them, he just doesnt want to share the glitch with us, (and only shares it with some of his friends)
I actually heard various reasons,
the one I heard from three persons is that creator is scared that they might fix the glitch because you can steal dlc stickers with it,
which is bogus as even if you remade transparant stickers out of them, they would be bitmap and not vectors, hence losing massive detail and functionality.

Also the amount of transparant stickers you can allready find on lbp would make me guess MM wont patch it,
they would allready have done so if they thought the glitch was that bad.

I have a theory. Try selecting basic cardboard with as much stickers as possible with the black popit, and leave it alone for 30 minutes. since the glitch involves a material glowing black, it *might* just work. the glitch probably happens when the texture of an object dissipates and to prevent the engine crashing, glows black.2010-07-11 19:22:00

Well, if you overload basic cardboard with stickers, creating the sticker glitch(a graphical error) and select it for an extended period of time(slightly changing graphics of material), with a black popit, (Black Glow, this was speculation) it might just happen. after all, its just a rendering error. You could also get as much materials as possible with the sticker glitch on them, and use the compression tool to combine them, since so much items together with a rendering glitch could cause the transparent sticker glitch.

When a material displays properly, the texture will be unchanged. When a material is glowing black, the texture has definitely glitched out and vanished.

Your comment isn't really a theory. People still haven't figured out how to consistently make a material glow black.
