Avoiding Level Name Duplication?

Archive: 16 posts


I have a theory, how about having a system to avoid level naming duplication. This sounds crazy, But this will force a lazier creator to come up with a unique name for their levels. This could prevent bad levels from the cool levels. This will also prevent creators from publishing unnamed levels, can also improve filters/searching etc.

A theory, if implemented, can make the community a little better.

Problem there is millions of levels will be published, possibly making finding an untaken name difficult, also I would hate to have an amazing name in mind, only to find out some rubbish level already took it.2011-02-04 23:43:00

Zombie Survival_629

People would resort to that. Trust me.

I do wish people would think of more creative names sometimes, but as long as a level doesn't share its name with a particularly popular level, I'm fine.

Come to think about it, it's one of those things that should be implemented the very first time lbp became online.

It would be nice if you had to give your level a name in order to publish it. You search newest levels and there are quite a few unnamed level's out there.2011-02-05 01:55:00

I don't really think something like this would improve the community. You can't force people to be creative, or force creativity out of them. You would just be getting the same levels, but with a slightly different name in the end. 2011-02-05 02:09:00

I think this would be a good feature, except for yknow, the cant use the same name thing, it would help people to decide the content of the level, and would be very beneficial, and besides, for a good name all you gotta do is think of a cool shape name, and mix some other words in it, you can't go wrong! for example:

Polyhedron (Name of one of my coming levels, NO ONE STEAL THE NAME)
Hexamice
Triagulamp
Squarecheese
Decazombies
Pentacave
Octosky
Septacity
Quadrig


See?

This would be a horrible feature.
With over 3 million levels published, thinking of a name of a level would be time-consuming.

I have a question. When I have a name in mind for a level I'm working on, I usually do a text search in community levels of the name to see if anyone's used it before. When it comes up with no results found, does that mean I'm free to use the name because no ones used it?2011-02-06 19:28:00

I think it would be good if mm needs to cleanup the servers I think. It may get to a point that there may be too many levels, but for various reasons the servers can't continue the run is it is, such as high cost, maintainence issues etc.

It could work as if there's two or more levels have the same name it could remove the level that has the least plays etc.

I am sorry to sound like a jerk here but that is the dumbest idea ever. Do you know how ****** everyone would be if suddenly their levels started getting deleted just because they have the same name as someone else's level? Now I am all for creativity and I think having a good name for a level is a good way to attract attention to it but deleting levels with same names or levels without names would be counterproductive. Being creative is a main push for the game but how discouraged would you be to look and find that someone named a bomb survival the same thing as one of your levels and it had more plays then your level that you spent a month working on. How would that make you feel? You have to understand that probably 80-90% of the people who play LBP are under the age of 10. Not all of them have developed minds yet so coming up with things that most of us would consider creative is not something that is going to happen often. What they find fun will probably make more mature player grumble. If they are punished for trying to be (what they currently consider) creative then they are likely to abandon the game and as their creativity matures they will be turned off to the whole concept of expression which is exactly the opposite of the point of these games.

Edit: Again not to be a jerk but after looking at your LBP.me profile I don't see what you are worried about here. Your levels don't employ the practices you are trying to force on others. "My First Level," "plz Heart," "Rick Rolled!!!," "Bomb Survival V1.1," "Total Wipeout-Qualifier-Lethal V1.1," "Total Wipeout-Qualifier-Non-Lethal V1.2," "Total Wipeout-Qualifier-Non-Lethal V1.3 Now with water" seriously that just made this whole thread a complete contradiction.
