The Definitive List of Guides and Tutorials

Archive: 16 posts


http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f277/schm01978/guides_and_tutorials.jpg


There have been dozens of insightful tutorials and guides submitted by some of LBPC's best and brightest. Over the years, a few brave souls made the effort to combine these troves of information in a single place. Unfortunately, some of these threads have gathered dust, are no longer maintained, or are otherwise incomplete.

Therefore, we've decided to create this list to combine the hard work and helpful advice of the community into a single, definitive, categorized list.*




(Special thanks to Sunrise_Moon, RockSauron and ViniciusBR11, and all the authors of the threads listed below!!! Also thanks to the other mods who helped me edit this monstrosity!)

Adding it to the list!

On a side note, we didn't actively look for new tutorials, but rather combined the various lists of others and deemed which ones were best. If you have suggestions, please let me know.

Making an already existing thread m8?
(I'd expect AT LEAST a mod to use the search function... :/ )

Funny enough, look what I posted in that other threas...

Oh the irony, the thread that was supposed to be seen exactly fot this sort of situation to be avoided (making threads asking/ explaining the same thing) was ignored to make this.

I hato to say this m8, but if that happened to that one, it will most probabl happen to this one.

People will notice it at first, thank, go "hey good idea dude," be on notice for like a week, then be burried and forogtten along with all other useful threads...

That's what happens with most good useful threads at least. :/
Man, did I call that ot what?


In short, this is like the 3rd thread for the same thing.

And mark my words, It shall not be the last, as this will be frgotten, even if made "sticky", and someone eilse will make it again, and again, and yet again. and so on...


Edit:
Oh and here's a link to another older thread for the same thing:

We had already noticed it, and if you'd bothered to actually read the post before complaining, then you might've noticed we'd actually acknowledged that by putting your name in it.



Making an already existing thread m8?
(I'd expect AT LEAST a mod to use the search function... :/ )

The problem we had was that there were three different threads all trying to do the same thing...

Helpful Threads and Links (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=17342-Helpful-Threads-and-Links)
Tutorial Spotlight (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=26372-Tutorial-Spotlight) (which itself was an attempt to update the original official Tutorial Spotlight (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=7260-Tutorial-Spotlight) thread).
Tutorials List (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=30709-Tutorials-List)

...and the idea was to amalgamate them all into a single thread which was both...

Sorted by category and usefulness (rather than alphabetically).
Actively maintained.

...which wasn't true of any of the existing threads.

So schm0, and some of the other mods put in a lot of effort to try to make such a thread. We also thought it better in the long term that the thread 'belongs' to the site, rather than a specific user, because users tend to come and go, but there will always be at least one mod/admin who can keep the thread up-to-date.



And mark my words, It shall not be the last, as this will be frgotten, even if made "sticky", and someone eilse will make it again, and again, and yet again. and so on...

Quite possibly. At the end of the day, many of the "useful" threads end up being more ephemeral than we'd like, but that's the nature of the beast. Every new patch to LBP brings with it the possibility of making several threads obsolete, and no doubt the release of LBP2 will cause exactly the same problem.



IM GONNA EXPLODE

I don't mean to be rude, but bear in mind that it's probably more important to cater to our user's needs, rather than your ego. No-one is stopping you from making whatever threads you like (within reason), but when it comes to deciding which are good candidates for being stickied, that's our decision. If you disagree with that, that's fine, and you're welcome to suggest better alternatives, but we'd prefer if you could do so in a rational manner, rather than getting angry, and posting pictures of explosions.

Thanks!

Added these under a new sub-category entitled "Video". Most of the links currently point to threads found here at LBPC, but having watched the videos (before joining LBPC, to be honest) I can vouch for their helpfulness. Just not sure whether or not the forest tutorial falls more under "how to create stuff" or "logic."

2. Jump_Button uses lots of invisible materials which are very large. I only can do it, and they get small...would love ton know how to make them larger?

This works for me. If you repeat the process over and over again, you can make invisible material of any size:

Not sure about the 1st one though, some others here might have more expertise on the subject. If you can't find it, you can always post a new thread in our Help! section (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?42-Help%21) and someone will most likely be willing to offer you some advice or assistance.
