Resident Evil 1 MansionChrree
http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/411/p1332280310.jpgThis is the mansion you know from Resident Evil 1 on PS1. I'm rebuilding it with the 3D glitch to make it look like the original.
Edit: I already published this level so please check this thread: Resident Evil Mansion Part 1 (published) (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=28861-Resident-Evil-Mansion-Part-1-%28published%29)

Since I'm a big fan of Resident Evil and because RE1 on PS1 was my favorite one I started to make a level about it. I'm trying to make a 1:1 copy of the mansion and I think I did a good job so far even if not everything is possible.

It's not finished so I didn't publish it so far but I would like to hear your opinion about what you see on the screenshots if that's ok. Since just a few people played my last level I want to make sure that I don't waste my time with this level if I continue my work. I'll give you feedback when I have published my level and when you have played it.

The previews won't work so I hope the bigger pictures are ok.


This is the hall where you start the level. Just like in Resident Evil Wesker asks you to investigate the area while he and Jill stay in the hall. When you come back they will have gone:
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/411/p1332280310.jpg (http://img180.imageshack.us/i/p1332280310.jpg/)

As you can see on the first picture I added a switch with an arrow which tells you that it will get you upstairs since you can't use the stairs in the background. Just like the switch I had to do some other changes because it's not possible in LBP. Some of the doors from the game doesn't exist and some things weren't possible with the 3D glitch but I hope that you will still like it:
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/4190/p1335280310.jpg (http://img227.imageshack.us/i/p1335280310.jpg/)

To enter other rooms just grab the doorknob and it will kill your sackperson and active the checkpoint on the other side of the door:
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7172/p1334280310.jpg (http://img227.imageshack.us/i/p1334280310.jpg/)

Just like the hall the dining room will have two floors just like in the game. I still have to think about how to enter the door where you encounter the first zombie since it's in the background:
http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/183/p1333280310.jpg (http://img396.imageshack.us/i/p1333280310.jpg/)

Just like in the game you will have to solve the puzzles and have to collect keys (it will be stickers in my level) to open doors and all that. I'm not sure what is possible to implement from the game and I'm sure it will be much less puzzles and keys then in the game but I'm sure it will be entertaining for fans of RE1:
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/744/p133401280310.jpg (http://img215.imageshack.us/i/p133401280310.jpg/)

Well that's it so far. I don't think I can do all the rooms of the mansion because of the saving space but I know how I could do it and I would just make more then one level to rebuild the whole mansion. Though if there is no one interested in it, I'll just complete the few rooms instead of making a proper level and post it like that (that means if I even have the desire to still do it then).

Looks magnificent so far, complete this and you'll be my favorite person ever. The original Resident Evil is great, and I have many fond memories of it. Have you played the Remake for Gamecube? If not, you should be obligated by law to do so, It's just incredible.

As for impossible rooms due to perspective, you could simulate loading screens by implementing teleporters behind/infront of doors that lead to different areas, allowing you to seemingly swap perspectives. I mess around with this idea in my newest level (Which happens to be inspired by the Guardhouse in the courtyard of Re1), give it a try if you want an example.

Thank you very much! If there will be more people interested in my level I'll spend more time on completing it. And thx for the idea with the doors, I will try your level later to see an example.

Ya I played every Resident Evil there is (except the shooter games and the one on Gameboy). The remake is very good aswell but I prefer the retro feeling of RE1.

Heyy, I can't find it either, it seems you've published only two levels (according to your profil )2010-03-31 17:35:00

Yep, like I said in my post I didn't publish it so far. I just wanted to know if people like it or not so I don't waste my time if no one will play it. I had that problem with my other level: Fuchikoma Commando Part 1 (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=24670-Fuchikoma-Commando-Part-1)

I hope here some people say something about that one since it was a lot of work. My other projects are The Visitors (a horror level that is just about scary atmosphere and special effects), Death Ball (a sports game with clanrooms and costumes), Code Geass Chess (I'm trying to make a proper chess game, not like the cheap levels you know so far), Ghostbusters firehouse (like the Resident Evil mansion it will be a 1:1 copy), Dantes Inferno costume level (with lot's of elements from the game and some gore), Bionic Commando costume level (I'm not sure if I will continue that one since it's very difficult to make something with swing mechanics in LBP), Fuchikoma Commando Part 2 (you will control the Fuchikoma) and an apartment maker (inspired by PlayStation Home since I had the idea to make a perfect copy of that aswell). If anyone wants a preview of something I can start a new topic if I think there is enough to show you already.

Thank you! =) Ya I like the stairs too because to me the hall is what I think about when it comes to RE1.

I completed both floors of the dining room. I only need to add two switches to use the doors in the beackground. ^.^ Unfortunatly you can't just walk along the second floor since the path had to be in the background to make it look realistic but I added the candelabras from the remake so you can swing to the other side.

Wow, what a mansion!
What is this? Blood? I hope it isn't Chris' blood!

Haha, yeah I'm an RE fan. That looks amazing so far, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I'll have to remember to check out the rest of your levels too.

"It's a weapon, it's REALLY powerful, specially against LIVING things!". Ah memories.

Oh my COD... It's Forest! It looks like he's been pecked to death, by A CROW, OR SOMETHING!

Barry's just that good. Not only can he immediately tell that he was pecked to death, but he knows that it was specifically a crow that did it, not any other kind of bird. Anyways, you've got every RE fan that plays LBP behind you Chrree, give it your all.

I'm working on my RE1 mansion again and I added a few things.

First thing was that I added Barry and the conversation of the beginning as an opening for the level:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2540/p1114180510.jpg

I also added the ornament on the wall of the upper floor of the dining room:
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8092/p1118180510.jpg

The third thing I did was to make the the floor when you go upstairs and enter the door to the right. As you can see on the first picture I placed a door in the middle of the room because it would be on the wall you can't see. I think that is better then just to omit it.
On the second picture you can see that the floor leads to the background. I will place a switch and some gas there so you will automaticly come to another room which looks like that part of the floor:
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8228/p1116180510.jpg
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6780/p111601180510.jpg

The next room I will add is the floor on the first floor where the dogs jump through the windows.

I'm working on my level almost every day now so I got new stuff to show you already. Unfortunately I don't have much space left but I hope I can make a logical split and build the rest of it in a second level. I guess I will have to change the order of the doors you have to go through though.

However here is what I added so far:

Now there are switches so you can go through doors that are out of reach:
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/272/p0321260510.jpg

I made a complex zombie (still have to think about how to make him deadly) which you can fight in 3 different ways:
1. Shoot the head and kill him at once.
2. Shoot the body but it takes longer.
3. Shoot off the legs so he has to crawl and you can kill him easier.
http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/6136/p0320260510.jpg

I added the floor to the right after you passed the room with the green statue. It's just the half of the floor because it leads into the background so you will get killed when u go to the far right and end up in the other perspective. You can find something in there just like in the game and you will fight the dogs (I will add them later):
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5431/p031901260510.jpg
http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/5185/p0319260510.jpg

The next thing I added was the small room on the second floor which leads to the balcony (not really necessary because all you can do is to grab the door as soon as you come to that room but I thougt it just has to be accurate):
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/310/p032101260510.jpg

And this is the room I just finished, the balcony. Unfortunately it's not possible to make the figure in the background to stand up like in the game but you will find something here:
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/700/p0322260510.jpg

The first part of the mansion will be ready soon. I can only add 2-3 more rooms before the thermo starts to overheat and I only need to add a few stickers, switches and camera angles so I can publish it. Well that means if I publish it because I think about to wait till I made the other half of the mansion so it's complete as soon as you can play it.

Wow, this looks great, I'm a new fan of the Resident Evil series, I've enjoyed the ones I've played and this level has peeked my interest in playing the first game which I bought on the psn. I look forward to playing your level, I hope it's successful and it looks like a heart before I even play it, but I do need to play it first =P

Best of luck!

I finished 2 more rooms.

The first room is where you encounter your first zombie. As you can see on the picture below I now electrified the zombies because that's the easiest way to make them deadly:
http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4387/p2133030610.jpg

The second room is the one on the second floor when you pass the dining room. I didn't add zombies though there should be two of them in this room. I first have to finish the last 2-3 rooms and add all the stickers and keys to collect so that I know if there is enough thermo left for more zombies:

My level is almost complete! I added many rooms and now there are only 2-3 rooms left to build. I'm sure that you can play it in a few days. I will start a new thread just to make sure enough people notice that they can play it then.

I don't post any more pics so it will be more interesting for those who already saw that much. I hope you all will like it! I changed the zombie again so that you can only shoot the head now. The complecated zombie took too much of the thermo and I had to add more of them so it won't become boring.

Right now I'm working on the key stickers. Just like with the mansion I'm making very detailed copies of everything like the mansion keys or the emblems. Maybe I'll even make a museum for those objects later because I still have them as real objects in my popit.

Btw is there anyone who would do me a favour and make a trailer for that level as soon as I published it? I would like to let as many people know about it as possible.

Edit: I already published this level so please check this thread: Resident Evil Mansion Part 1 (published) (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=28861-Resident-Evil-Mansion-Part-1-%28published%29)
