Emails from the Molecule: Help!

Archive: 28 posts


The advanced logic tools in LittleBigPlanet 2 enable you to build all sorts of funtionality. In big projects you can find yourself with endless microchips nested within each other.

These can build up over time and get pretty insane - Looks like <a href="http://www.mediamolecule.com/about/whos_who/#John" title="John">John</a> got a bit stuck when he went to fix something in boss from LittleBigPlanet 2’s first Story Level theme. if only the sequencer had existed when this level was first made

<blockquote><strong>From:</strong> John

<strong>Subject:</strong> Help!!

<strong>Date:</strong> 9 August 2010 18:23:55<br/>

Anyone want to help me debug my level lol <br/>

John - use the notes tool! Comment your code!

Making a sequencer is already possible in LBP1 (I've made several). There's no reason a workaround couldn't have been found to make one.
Although I must say that's some crazy-looking logic going on there! :eek:

Can't wait to get my hands on that sequencer though. LBP2 is going to be epic.

I love that wires are color coded now!

As for the problem... Yep. Looks to be a simple case of a conflicting input type.

Wait, that was for the boss in the first story theme?!
What is it, a fully functioning terminator or something?

I prefer not to try to understand all that stuf...

Anyway, Time In Level... ? So... we can see how much time we've been spending on a level ?

Ya, ask for how to solve a logic-related problem and hide all your logic in the image, that's suuure to help.

What are those blank squares, do they just take an input and give the same output?2010-08-27 18:02:00

Johnee, I believe you've built a helicopter remote instead of boss logic. How could that happen?2010-08-27 18:03:00

Aaaaaaackkkkk...I think I will try and solve this when I have figured how to use the AND/OR switches. 2010-08-27 18:22:00

Ok, iPhoto is officialy crap. I won't let me crop the photo without the photo dissapearing. -_-

On the bottom of the circitboard that is in the middle the right-pinkish-thingy is the new gyroscope. (get the full size image an zoom in!)

But I can't tell what the other two things are.


EDIT: It not on a microchip - its on the wall in the center that is bolted.

EDIT 2: Its actually on the base of the door-thing, still near the center of the photo though.

EDIT 3: Microchips seem to look different, they look like black bars if i am correct...? O_o

EDIT 4: Where that gyroscope is, the thing on the left edge of the door seems to be a sackboy/sensor switch, there is also another one pointing in the other direction under the boss.

EDIT 5: The square thing in the middle of the other two things on the door might be the object leathalizer- it is also on the glass (soon to be plasma) globes that the boss attacks with.

EDIT 6: I'm beginning to wonder why they don't just remake the level on the sequencer, lol.

So:
Coloured wires.
Notes.
Thermo red again?
And a lot of logic.

Hmm... "Work in Progress - bluray2_r45264 - STABLE".

Looks like it's getting there. I've not seen a build that says "Stable" yet (except this one).

I wonder what this would look like if he tried to make the exact same thing in LBP1.
Probably take up the entire thermometer.
