Hey there! I doubt i'm the only one who has tried importing their LBP2 profile/levels into the final game only to find that.. it doesn't work Well I have been working on a way to transfer BETA profile/level backups into the final game format so the game will recognise it and import it. My result: IT WORKED! Well.... sorta. LBP2 now recognises it as a LBP2 backup successfully BUT when you: For Profiles Import a BETA profile into LBP2 For Levels Import a BETA level into LBP2 They both import to 100% and when you press O to return to the game, the game says 'Data is Corrupt' and it won't work I'm sure there is a way to do it successfully but I haven't quite gotten there yet If I ever do, i'll be sure to tell you all how to do it! Unless it's extremely unstable in which case it wouldn't be a smart idea... I wil bring Pipe Spoof-O-Doof Dreamz back... someday... lol

Why even try, if Media Molecule doesn't want you to do it?

I tried but I got the same as you were it said data is corrupt. I honestly don't think there is a way to do it

I tried but I got the same as you were it said data is corrupt. I honestly don't think there is a way to do it I managed to get the My Advice music I captured in the BETA, and The Pod Object to work in LBP2 LBP2 now has user-access LBP1 tutorial music, and Pod Create back

Seriously?! Is the Pod Object stable?! Awesome!!!

The worst possible thing you could do is release this information to the public. You could really cause some damage. Keep it to yourself. Also, Mm specifically said that reverse engineering anything in order to bring beta objects and levels into the retail version is strictly prohibited. And posting on THESE forums that you're trying to do so is a sure fire way to get some negative attention and (although I'm not exactly one to say) a ban. I'd take this down RIGHT now if I where you.

Changing names or overwriting files isn't really reverse engineering tbh it's more of being a dope and hoping for the best

Yea this probably isn't a very good idea. But the tutorial music would be kinda neat to have.

Am I under an irrational fear of people being able to run with a hack to access BETA files, letting them bring back horrifying things that were present in the BETA?

My opinion is that you don't have to give the info Hazbell, if you can do it, good for ypu, I would like to have my stuff back too...but please don't release infos that may corrupt and mess the game Please

Why not remake it all? I'm sure since you made it once, you can make it again, rather than risking a big risk, not for just yourself, but others. Also, if you remade it, you could fix problems that you had or add new things to it, or maybe move things around. (And yes, I realize that it took a lot of work, but what made it the hardest was coming up with the ideas and planning. Did you write down or archive it in any way? Pictures, notes, videos, whatever)

That's awesome! If I were you though, I'd keep the information to myself. You never know what noobs could end up doing. Just show the pod to your closest friends. And maybe Publish the My advice music. It'd be awesome to play Pipe Spoof-O-Doof Dreamz again! I wish you the best of luck getting it back. Also, can you post some pictures of the pod? I'd like to see how it looks in the full build.

2011-01-23 14:42:00 Author: gamerC0LA64 Posts: 274

Well only think that is risky is captured pod but, but it's only risky when you try to use it and not be careful with it (cover spawn point, make floor less pod etc.) and there was no side-effects for other people in the pod, so if it's gonna leak there no point for obsessive fear. It will probably go out and be around anyway since Hezbell is not only one experimenting in this way: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=44856-Pod-Captured

Yea this probably isn't a very good idea. But the tutorial music would be kinda neat to have. I amanaged to get My Advice 1 and My Advice 3 v2 into LBP2. They both work as to maintain backwards compatability with LBP1. In the BETA only My Advice 3 v1 worked. Am I under an irrational fear of people being able to run with a hack to access BETA files, letting them bring back horrifying things that were present in the BETA? If your stupid enough to do such things then yes. To be honest I really just want my good, levels back! Glitches are just a bonus on the side this is the reason sony is starting to lose sales. (Note i mean the hacking.) No JailBreak is xD That's an epic win I must say If it's possible to get objects back, tell us how to do it please. I had all of the My Advice music captured and a few story levels. Hello schrader4/GreatWhite You captured a lot of stuff in the BETA. I just managed to capture Pipe Dreams and a few bits & bobs xD

2011-01-23 14:47:00 Author: Unknown User

Here are pictures of: The LBP Pod captured with the walls up, down and used as my actual pod My Advice 1 & My Advice 3 v2 I also put some music tracks which are only part of the full game and not the BETA and Disco Shmisco with the new LBP2 music box design instead of the old LBP1 design. Just making sure there's enough evidence it's in LBP2 not the BETA Oh, and can I just say the LBP2 music rocks my socks xD There is also no watermark in the bottom, left showing the release number like it does on the BETA

2011-01-23 15:23:00 Author: Unknown User

So, I'm confused. Do you plan on releasing the Pod? What may work best is finding a way to release it solely to LBPC members. All I know is that I really want that Pod object!

2011-01-23 15:50:00 Author: Super_Clone Posts: 849

I think you should work together with -DR- so we can get all the "My Advice" music tracks out there. It'd be a great addition.

I'm not sure what all the fear-mongering is about. If somebody can point out exactly where Mm said that bringing items from the beta into the full game is against the rules (an actual announcement or something), then we'll go ahead and lock the topic, but otherwise it sounds pretty cool. I wouldn't so much be interested in the pod and stuff as I would in getting back the stuff I'd built.

I originally made the level I was doing for the TV ads, 'Rogue Panda Rescue' in the beta. The original plan was to port the level over to the retail version where it could be published for all to play. I was then told that this was no longer an option, and was asked if I could recreate the level in the main game before it came out. Meaning that I had 4 days to create a level that originally took me over a month. Now, of course it is possible for Sony and Mm to port levels if they wanted to. However, if they are going to such lengths top avoid it (i.e, full levels that are to be used in global TV and print campaigns, needing to be remade in a ridiculously short amount of time,) then I think it is pretty clear that porting is potentially harmful to the game. Please just stop guys, it's really not worth it!

Yes, I have seen 2 levels with the pod glitch.. I am guessing people have figured out a GOD type mode to get? Not sure.. but I sure would hate to have to start deleteing profiles because of people trying to break the game.

If your stupid enough to do such things then yes. To be honest I really just want my good, levels back! Glitches are just a bonus on the side There are a lot of people who are "stupid enough" to break the entire game.

If one those fools mess up LBP2..... By getting our beta objects that we spent time on? That would mess up LBP2?

2011-01-23 19:08:00 Author: GreatWhite000 Posts: 673

LBP2 is already messed up. As usual the servers are in a horrid state. Taking ages to load anything (even story levels or your own moon), Never ending Loading Screen when with others online and so on. From my 3 years of LBP I've only noticed the games online performance getting worse and worse. The BETA was abolsutly perfect online before update 1.02 too xD So yeah... my point is LBP is already rather messed up in certain ways

(And yes, I realize that it took a lot of work, but what made it the hardest was coming up with the ideas and planning. Did you write down or archive it in any way? Pictures, notes, videos, whatever) Erm...what? My best project (as rated by the community) was Pipe Spoof-O-Doof Dreamz. I used the God Glitch to capture Pipe Dreams and then re-worked the entire level into an opposite of what it was, making you a sackbot follower, following a bigger sackbot to replace Sackboy (Da Vinci lol). Spoofedit up a bit to make it amusing etc. Anyways to the point, it took ages to make and was a lot of effort, even though I had the level layout already. Re-making a story level such as Pipe Dreams from scratch is gonna be really tough! As for archive yes. Someone was very kind and uploaded the entire level http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyEuAKPrUKI And it got featured on LittleBigPodCast Episode 101 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sABOVgQv7y8 Ok sorry I went waay off topic there xD

The point is not about porting, everyone would love to have their own beta stuff, the problem is creating a glitch that could break the game like the God glitch once again. That's my only concern. I'm sure no one wants their levels copiable, DLC exchanged without problems, Crowns giveaways and the such.

This is interesting because someone on the chat yesterday said they had imported their beta profile into retail LBP2 and had the God Glitch back, but I didn't believe them. This means they can copy and save user levels.

You know, I understand your frustration Hazbell, I really do. You took part in the BETA with a ton of other people and, like a lot of them, made something really cool that was enjoyed. But.. you forget, it was a BETA. From the start, you should have never really expected to keep your progress. Then when the "god glitch" became rampant, you really shouldn't have been expecting to keep BETA stuff. You were not the only player playing the LBP2 build, as such you should really think more outside of yourself and your wants, when you start trying to figure out how to make pre-retail LBP2 stuff work with retail LBP2 stuff. Think about what comes with information like that that you are so willing to publicly figure out and share. Think about the things people abused in the BETA. Then for you to say that the LBP2 BETA was at all perfect at any point (that it had actual content) is just wrong. It had plenty of issues and plenty of game breaking glitches. Not just minor, temporary inconveniences. Which, by the way, nearly every game (without a multi-billion dollar franchise) has, at least in the beginning, because of unpredictable server stability. But it gets fixed. And the game continues. For example, Warhawk didn't save stats when it came out, among a host of other issues, and then it went on to become the best, most diverse, shooter on the PS3 by far. So, basically, the BETA was the BETA, it's time to let it go, and move on. The real game is here and you shouldn't need the glitches that were present in the BETA, to have fun and build fun levels in the actual game. So how about we move on and enjoy the game for what it is, not what it was? (I'd like to add that all of this is coming from someone who is very relaxed right now, none of that is in any way personal or meant to be mean or whatever.. )

Well, I decided to try and get my BETA levels back, So I made retail backups of a blank level, overwrote it with a beta level, and tried to reimport it into LBP2. No Dice, corrupt data. Hazbell, If you find a way to bring levels back, please tell me. I am assuming you got beta objects to work by attaching it to a message and sending it to yourself. Something like that.

I'm not sure what all the fear-mongering is about. If somebody can point out exactly where Mm said that bringing items from the beta into the full game is against the rules (an actual announcement or something), then we'll go ahead and lock the topic, As jack pointed out, we were instructed that beta-ported objects should, under no circumstances, be used on the live servers due to potential corruption to the server environment... I'm sure we could obtain an official word or two if you'd like. Not that it would really matter, there's enough ***** out there that would try to do it just for the lolz of breaking the servers, not to mention the many, many people who would choose to take that risk on everyone's behalf just to port over a couple of objects they could remake without too much effort...

I wouldn't do it. Sounds like the BETA had a lot of bugs, think what you could be bringing in (not you specifically, but others). If you get it, leave it for yourself.

Well, the pod's going around and around and around. It's spreading like wildfire. At least the Pod Glitch isn't particularly harmful.

2011-01-23 21:24:00 Author: gamerC0LA64 Posts: 274

---

There's plenty others out there doing the exact same thing I'm sure. I've played a handful of pod levels, tutorial background levels already. The bright side is we might get a few extra tutorial musics. The bad side. People might be able to steal other people's levels. And then the game would just be ruined. I say that Hazbell gets whatever is useful and don't tell any idiots how you did it.

Hi all - the reason we don't want things imported over from the beta, is that there are some GAME DESTROYING bugs in there, that if they were carried over to live via community created items etc, would cause epic problems for a lot of people. REALLY IMPORTANT: If anyone manage to import anything from the beta or recreate the god glitch, PLEASE get hold of me personally via the mods on this site, or via this email - community@mediamolecule.com - and tell us how, rather than posting it publicly. Please? don't make us all cry :'( We've also seen the POD may have ben captured, if anyone knows how, the above stands true. As always, we will remember those who help us, and hold them fondly in our hearts... oh and bribe them with Bug Blasters.

well I searched "pod captured" and came up with many hits. 5 of them copyable. I didnt play any of them. It all seems so selfish. Slap some Ban down Mm.

Well it's official now! As always, we will remember those who help us, and hold them fondly in our hearts... oh and bribe them with Bug Blasters. They'll all be turned in after about 1 hour lol.

oh and bribe them with Bug Blasters. Speaking of which when will the codes be given out for the LBP2 Beta (or NEW codes given to those who got a code but it never worked

2011-01-23 22:52:00 Author: fodawim Posts: 363

lol people have such different views about this xD As for game breaking glitches from the BETA, guess what? all the ones I discovered still exist in the final LBP2 xD For example, copied Sackboy. Still works in LBP2, still freezes everyones PS3 in LBP2, but unlike LBP1 you can publish a level containing it. If I was a mean person I could publish a level saying.. Oh I dunno... let's say GhostSack Tutorial since all the nubs want that but in fact you just enter the level to get your PS3 frozen. The Wheel of Doom glitch has also been re-created by my 'Game Boundries object' if you set Gravity to max and Sackboy gets crushed in the border As for God Mode: Yeah it was cool but I wouldn't wanna bring that back

Are you arguing with an MM employee now? Is it really worth that much to you? has anyone ever been banned from the LBP servers? Actually no. So many people are posting on this thread, only about 1 email comes through every hour of the latest post on it. It wasn't Spaff it was.. erm.. forgot now :S lol Anyways Spaff has made it oficially clear about all of this. It's now a big naughty no-no! Hence i'm not going to try and get my beloved work back. Time for me to wave farewell to that

2011-01-23 23:22:00 Author: Unknown User

Although I'm not really looking forward to having to redo all my progress from the BETA (Create Mode-wise), importing data from the BETA wasn't allowed for a reason. There are super high chances that such a thing could bring old bugs that were eliminated back into the final version of the game. Doing this won't just affect you, but the whole community at some point, so please consider that. It might be cool to say "Ha, I did it anyways", it's not cool to ruin the experience for others with tons of nasty bugs.

All I know is: some people have managed to import their beta profiles which contain God Mode, they then use the capture tool to capture the pod. Some are unable to use God Mode online, others undoubtably are. The people who have done this so far won't email Mm or try to help anyone figure out how to stop it, because they want to use God Mode in the Mm story levels and in the online community levels to capture objects. All LBP1 levels are at risk of being copied at this stage, but you can safeguard LBP2 levels by using a controlinator that has the ability to open the popit turned off at the start of the level.

This is all quite childish. If you notice something buggy with the game, report it to Mm so they can fix it. If you are just in it to ruin people's experience with the game, I hope you slowly die in a fire. Not saying this to be rude, people like that just shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Speaking of which when will the codes be given out for the LBP2 Beta (or NEW codes given to those who got a code but it never worked Two weeks ago he said to email him back in two weeks to see if they have gotten the new codes yet. I've already emailed him. I had more than the bug blaster to talk to him about though lol.

2011-01-24 01:37:00 Author: GreatWhite000 Posts: 673

what is scarey is these levels are copyable now with the pod as prize..... It may be too late. As for who imported the profile. A simple search on cool pages and you will se who did... they also brag about the import in the personal comment page on thier planet... Whats worse is... this person destroyed cool pages in lbp1 before Mm made the "cool page fix". Now they are living up to thier promise to destroy lbp2. For now, just be careful.... back up your profiles.

2011-01-24 01:37:00 Author: fijski8 Posts: 159

First off, there have been reports of people using the pod glitch and having their profiles corrupted, so I would advise staying away from it. Second, Spaff has spoken, so if there are any discoveries in this area, please report them to Mm and DO NOT post them here. Doing so will earn you an insta-ban (remember that even pm's can be reported and earn you a ban, so don't try to be sneaky).
