People copying in create mode...

Archive: 122 posts

I know this has happened to most everyone on here... Your in create mode, you just spent the past five hours perfecting your awesome new creation. You let someone join, and the first thing they do is wrap their little "capture object" box around it

I have not let people I don't know in create mode for a very long time. I really think there should be some kind of system to prevent this from happening if you don't want it to. Maybe an option that appears on screen when somebody tries to copy something, 'allow this player to capture this object?'

What do you think?		2011-04-24 04:47:00

I agree with this completely. I think its an excellent idea. As to why this has already not been done, simply amazes me. I usually don't mind if a friend does, as long as they ask first, but when their nooby friends join and steal everything, is not cool.2011-04-24 04:59:00

Totally. I made the Pacman song and She hates me on music sequencers and first thing my friend's friend did when they joined was capture it. I was cool with it, but it made me very mad that they didn't ask.

I think the host should have an option in with auto reject and all that with the choices "Auto Copy" "Ask for permission" and "No copying allowed" for the options.

LBP is 'Play, Create Share" not 'Play, STEAL, share"!		2011-04-24 05:09:00

That is a hilarious motto. I'd say about 70-75% of the LBP community follows it XD		2011-04-24 05:16:00

By following the motto I mean the 70-75% follow the bad one. And they took all the trigger explosives sorry :/. To bad there not using it to blow themselves up, well I suppose they kinda are.

Ahhh. I have a habit of usually ignoring join requests in create mode, but when I put auto join, that does seem to be when the riff-raff comes.

And how come when I kick a rowdy player, they always manage to kill me within the next 10 seconds? 		2011-04-24 05:43:00

Ha ha XD I guess that's the rule, when you get kicked you have to promptly kill the sack that kicked you.		2011-04-24 06:06:00

One thing you can do besides only let people you trust to join you in create mode, is use alot of dlc in whatever you are making. If someone captures it, they will have to own or buy that dlc to use whatever they stole from you. If you are going to give away an object as a prize in a level, try not to use any dlc so everyone can have fun with it. I don't want anyone to steal my main personal costume so I put one sticker from every dlc pack I have on it and I have almost all of them. It's not the best costume around but it's unique and it's me. People have always said things like "cool costume!" and I'm proud of that. I don't want other people running around lbp2 wearing one of my best creations yet and saying they made it. So if they really want it, they will have to pay big to get it. Maybe even when they see all the dlc they have to buy to use that object they steal from you, they will become discouraged and delete it.2011-04-24 07:23:00

Those are good suggestions, because a good majority of people don't have all the dlc. I have had many people copy my costume also, even pull it out when playing with me. It is very annoying. My costume really is my signature and how people know me, so I rarely change it.		2011-04-24 07:33:00

i made an awesome Indiana Jones costume after searching for DAYS to find all the correct clothing pieces, buying random dlc, putting in lbp1 etc. eventually i had it all and of course i went to show off. my friend joined with her friend and asked if we could go into create mode. the next minute he has a sackbot with "copy player one" on it and has stolen my costume. i just hope the little **** doesn't have the dlc or their ps3 blows up.2011-04-24 08:21:00

I have problems with people stealing things and thats why I don't bring out anything that I don't want copied and I always make sure to take my costumes off before going to create mode. There needs to be some better measures set in place to prevent other players from stealing your stuff. One time I had a friend join me in create mode, he turned around and copied everything so I booted him and never let him join since. I have no desire to play with people I cannot trust.........2011-04-24 08:36:00

Yes it is very unfortunate that people have the ability to do that. If people I have on my friend list display any behavior like that, I delete them. No questions asked. I do hope they release an update to fix some of these things, are you reading this MM? 		2011-04-24 08:45:00

I have only faced this matter once in my entire lifetime.
This is a true story:
It's Christmas 2009, I get Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for precent. I was soooo happy. Then, February 2010 while playing UC2 I run into these two Finnish guys. They were pretty goof fellows, so I stuck with them. I also got to meet this guy, *******(THE BAD GUY!!!). Fall 2010: I'm making a Canyon themed level, when suddenly this bad guy pops out. Back then when we played UC2 he was a nice guy. His little brother is actually the bad guy. Then he captured MY ENTIRE LEVEL as an object and left. He removed me from his friends, ignored me and published the level. He got over 200 plays, 40 hearts and comments on the level were God-Like. I tried to tell them that it was my level, but people just mocked me. I published my level. It got 2 stars and plenty of people calling me a copycat. Then the BAD GUY's big brother steps in, unignores me, deletes the copied level, apologises for his little brothers actions and we are friends again. But the canyon level never came popular after I published it again, again and again.
So the lesson here is? I don't know. Hope you got something out of it.		2011-04-24 09:51:00

Wow, now that is a tough break. And precisely why we need a better system. I have heard of stories like this before, people literally just copying an entire level. And the fact that yours was copied and published, getting plays and positive feedback had to drive you crazy.2011-04-24 10:23:00

...why not just check who to and not to let into create mode?
Why bring people over when you inished something that tok a long time, into create mode?
If you wanna show off, there's always Play mode, so ther's you're "let join without able to capture" thing.

I mean really, if people were actually careful who they let join, this wouldn't happen.

"But this is LBP, they shouldn't do that."
Yes, but those are people on the other side of the controller as well, who will most likely not all think as ideally of LBP as you, so you should be careful still.		2011-04-24 11:19:00

as silverleon said, there is the always play mode...

when someone is joining save the level and go to play mode to play it with them... unless you trust them completely...
because sometimes when i used to play with my freinds on LBP2 i invited them ( just the one person ) and there was two more people! i hadnt even met them before, so i went along with it and one of them said " lets go to play mode!" so we did and i had one of my sackbots which took me weeks to make and they both took it!, if it was my freind i would have been fine but they wernt my freinds, the sackbot was a normal sackbot, no DLC because i dont have any, and they were tbh not as good as me at creating,

they left ASAP and then of course i didnt know until a few days ago, they want and played with lots of their friends and they took all the credit!

i think the option for the host " no copying" / "copying" / "ask host" would really help me as a creator!		2011-04-24 11:43:00

I totally agree with Silverleons comment.
Simply don't let anyone you don't know into your create world.
Drop a line and tell your friends not to bring anyone you don't know.

It takes you a week to make an object but it only takes 2 seconds to capture and steal it.

Ok now. Happy Easter everyone.		2011-04-24 11:52:00

I guess that's true... Not to be mean, but a lot of my friends aren't capable of building anything that I want anyways... Heck the last time I kept a community object was on Comph's lockbox level and a few from the logic pack, but maybe implement an option for everyone with Allow, Don't allow, and auto if something someone captures has a part you built in it.		2011-04-24 16:03:00

Yeah it's happened to me a few times >_> I create something with a bunch of logic and then they get out their little capture tool and save it before I can delete it. Little do they know it's not finished 		2011-04-24 16:44:00

Oh yeah I just remembered something funny I did about a month ago. I was playing with two random people in create mode and every time I got out an object to play with, they would capture it. I knew they would do it so I did not care if they took the objects. Almost everything I placed, was captured in seconds. So then I placed a cube of dark matter to see what would happen, and one of them did capture it lol.2011-04-24 19:13:00

Ah, but how do you know who you can trust, and who you can't, before inviting them for the first time?

Ultimately, if you intend to co-create with other people, you have to take that risk at some point. In the absence of any in-built features to prevent unauthorized copying, here's a few suggestions for your first OC encouter with an unknown user...


Make a backup copy of the level in another crater before inviting.
Follow them around to keep track of what they're doing.
Don't go AFK while they're there.
If you see them pull out the capture tool unexpectedly, use "Return to Pod" instead of "Kick", then they don't get the 10-second countdown to complete their task.


Actually, it's possible the 10-second countdown doesn't apply to LBP2, but it was certainly the case with LBP1. Even in LBP2, however, you still have a few submenus to navigate before you get to the "Kick" option, so assuming you made a backup, you can safely press Start, and keep pressing X (which chooses "Return to Pod" then "Save Changes") quickly enough to thwart their attempt.

If you do all that, you should be okay. For the ultra-paranoid you might want to 'test the waters' by taking them into a level where you've just placed down a few cool-looking community objects (or anything that you don't care if they copy), and see how they behave.		2011-04-24 19:46:00

I usually don't let people in create mode for my main levels, online create is just to mess around. Or I join a friend's game, so if someone captures an object it usually won't affect me, although my friend might get mad and yell at the offender.2011-04-24 19:51:00

Yeah, everyone just want to be the best, and some will step on other people to get there. But when only 1 part of their level (copied) is good, and the rest isn't as good, most people can usually connect the dots		2011-04-24 23:25:00

Not to mention the HUGE style/ theme discrepancy

i have now got a bot that has three game cameras on it that activate every 0.5 seconds! this means they cant see, they cant do anything, the controls freak out. the only thing that works is the start menu. perfect diversion for you to kick or return to pod. or activate a movie camera so they can move anyways. outsmart them . "shuuush!!" "they might be listening!!"2011-04-25 09:21:00

I (and others) don't spend 5 hours working on a cool gadget just for someone to take it.
And then the 25%-75% chance they will publish it as their own haunts me a bit. 		2011-04-25 16:18:00

Absolutely. This is a huge hole in the system (as if this game isn't easy enough to exploit already). The best mechanic to implement for this would probably be a confirmation message if someone attempts to save anything you've touched, as well as the option to automatically block this action for non-friendly players. This is why I don't give away prizes anymore, because someone somewhere will find a way to change their attributes to "sharable" as well as the owner tag. That I won't have.2011-04-25 16:22:00

Idea: in the logic, do something like attaching a destroyer to the object if there isn't an orange tag on the level. That would stop the noobs that don't even have common sense.2011-05-04 02:29:00

I think these creation-stealing noobs act on instinct. Once I was playing with some noobs and I simply placed a blob of jelly from the materials selection. A moment later, they captured it. Then I told them that it was just a basic block and made them feel like idiots. 2011-05-07 02:07:00

I know what you mean, I was making little blocks to glue to make something, and my friends were capturing the blocks, and I said "You know those are just basic materials right"? And they said: "OH! Okay... Hmm..." Lol. And yeah, I totally agree, their should be a "No copying" option Nice idea 2011-05-07 12:29:00

Building on the tag lockout idea, you could take a tag and label it "LOL" in unicode symbols (Left Stick, Circle, Left Stick). I highly doubt anyone intelligent enough to steal your objects can figure out the ridiculously obscure unicode. Also make the sensor as small as possible and stick it behind a decoration or something.2011-05-07 13:24:00

I had situations like this before. I just simply never EVER let anyone I do not personally know join me with the auto reject option

Once, I was playing with a friend, and then this randomer (his friend) joined in and he said 'Go in Create Mode!' , so my friend did.. the first instinct the other joiner did was to attempt to steal my friends costume but he failed, why? Because my friend just resetted his costume before it got saved..

But heres my mistake D: I just pointlessly placed down my 'Digital Clock' I made, he captured it while I was trying to put an 'Instant Destroyer' Chip. (Simply a NOT Gate wired to itself and connected to a Destoryer) I even told him why capturing people's creations is always rude and unforgiving . Luckily, he didnt made a level for it. Pfui.. well, on to my block list he goes. (name is ' doddyspice ' btw.)

So, theres lessons to be learnt, if you think your friends 'friend' is a capturer, leave the game immediately! If the 'suspected capturer' wishes to follow you to Pod, say NO!

I totally agree with people with the Capturing Option. I was thinking this, '(NAME) wishes to capture your object, will you let them?' Settings like, Auto Reject, Ask, Auto-Accept.		2011-05-07 14:02:00

i shouted (in text) at one guy for stealing something.. I'm not sure if it was mine but i would have killed them if they hadn't deleted it. oh i like the tag with extremely complicated Unicode name idea.2011-05-07 14:25:00

someone told me a really idea for this issue. place somewhere on the object (like the microchip) very tiny dlc stickers. I have started to play dlc stickers from several different packs (some of the less common ones) on all my chips. Chances are they have 3 or 4 of dlc but not all 5 unless they are a bigger nerd than me and buy all the packs as they come out. Omg I have bought about $100 worth of dlc because so many people leave sackbots with a dlc sticker i dont have and then i have to buy the pack to get back in my level. MM should make it where if someone left something you don't own yourself that it would delete or blank out. I guess it's a good way to get more money out of you but I would have bought them anyway. still it would be nice not to have to run to walmart at 3 am to buy a psn card.2011-07-09 08:48:00

ha! funny. i place a sticker i made that says: " nerzdadestroyer waz ere" hidden in the level and so when its published i can take the sticker covering it off and say: " yea, i was here when they made this" in case it ever became famous lol.

Sharing is caring. Yes but "sharing" someone else's things without them knowing is stealing. At least ask if you can "share" it.

I would love to go into a store and tell them I'm not stealing, you are sharing it with me but you didn't give me permission to take it but it's okay because I call it sharing. You can come over to my house and share all you want, but then I'm calling the cops because you are stealing from me.

I never steal anything but I will copy if they say I can, and even then it's only so I can make it better and give it back to them later. If the creator wanted you have something without asking permission, they would make it a prize bubble.		2011-07-09 17:26:00

I encountered one of these noobs once. I went to mess around in create with some random girl and her friends, in her moon. I summoned a controllable fighter that coul fly, change layers, rotate and shoot missiles. Something any "educated" creator can make, of course. But apparently beyond the capabilities of the average idiot. Within twenty seconds of me demonstrating it she returned to the pod while apparently saving the level and then kicked me out. Took me a while to realize she wanted my crappy Sevmobile like it was some million heart idea.

Luckily the object wasn't that important to me (actually I always put a couple of them in create mode when I'm there with my friends) but back then I didn't know about this unscrupulous side of the LBP community. I consider myself fortunate for not learning this the hard way, like having a whole level that took weeks to make copied by some kid and published for his immediate success.		2011-07-10 00:00:00

I had something stolen from me. It was mostly my fault for not thinking first. Some guy comes along and asks me if I could give him an unlocked version of my Alpha microchip, I said yes, because I knew him. But I did not know his intentions. He published his own level with it in it. But I have proof. If you get his object I am a contributor & my level was published WAY before his.

here's some tips for create mode...

1- try to only play in create with your friends.


2- if you are in create with any other people, make some junk and see if they copy it.
or...
Just stand around and check out what they make.

3- in the case an object gets copied...
tell them not to use it in levels.
tell the they can use it, but they MUST give credit in some way.
tell them to delete it, because you're going to use it in a level/series.

4- in the case it is used in any levels without warning...
bother them about it via PSN, reviews, profile comments, etc...
tell them to give you credit.

all in all, you should generally be careful who you add to your friends list.		2011-07-10 02:22:00

But I have proof. If you get his object I am a contributor & my level was published WAY before his. (by the way, his name is gamerway3581, my biggest enemy now.)

I have one of those chips. and I called him out on it. What a noob. I tell you, the road to sack heck is paved with pathological little children who think it's funny when they are doing these things but kick and scream the most when it happens to them. Someone mentioned MM should force a pop up anytime someone captures an object asking if you will allow the save, then another pop up if you want to give them spawn pop cancer.		2011-07-10 02:23:00

Well, MM definitely should think of a solution for this. The community isn't getting any more newbie-friendly and this must be happening frequently. Not many are aware enough to take precautions against this kind of theft and not everyone gets to read a forum thread on how to prevent it. How many decent creators have probably been a victim of this and saw a little thieving punk's level get the credit thanks to their effort?		2011-07-10 02:57:00

Yes but "sharing" someone else's things without them knowing is stealing. At least ask if you can "share" it.

I would love to go into a store and tell them I'm not stealing, you are sharing it with me but you didn't give me permission to take it but it's okay because I call it sharing. You can come over to my house and share all you want, but then I'm calling the cops because you are stealing from me.

I never steal anything but I will copy if they say I can, and even then it's only so I can make it better and give it back to them later. If the creator wanted you have something without asking permission, they would make it a prize bubble.

No one can stop the copiers. That's why I don't publish levels. That and I suck at it.		2011-07-10 03:18:00

I agree with you guys!
I hate it when a noob comes along and steals a vehicle that YOU created, and they use it to show off
to their friends and claim it's theirs.

It's not right at all but I found a good way to stop people from capturing your VEHICLES!

I do this with ALL my vehicles, put destroyers on every piece of your vehicle and put a single button to destroy the darn thing. I like to use R2, but you can use whichever you want. This causes the noob to capture mere ashes and beg in agony to have MY wonderful creation.

I call it deleting in style		2011-07-10 19:11:00

put a sensor on your object somewhere set to inverted and place a tag right up in the far right corner of the level, plug the sensor onto a destroyer so if the object is ever in a place the tag isn't it immediately pops on placement, Unless they pause, then though you make an overly convoluted fail safe involving signal thresholds and other wirelessly sent signals stashed at various points in your level, further-more make some of the 'bugged' digital/analogue signal propagation integral to your system functioning correctly, meaning unless its in 'this' level, its fubar.

Bug your contraptions with this stuff and whomever steals it will have a heck of a time trying to figure out not how to make it pop. If you do it well enough its highly probable they'll give up trying to de-fuse the object and delete it.

Its not a 100% guarantee to work depending on how intelligent/determined the thief is, but it's fun to make and will at least give them a heck of a battle in the process. That's what I do anyway...

... Just In Case

Its happened a few times to me (theft) so I say take no prisoners.		2011-07-13 19:50:00

I'm not sure if this has been said before BUT....!!!

Make 2 copies of your objects, and make a little change in the second copy's name.

In this second copy, you have a universal tag sensor (5,000 range) that is looking for a tag with a really obscure name. If this tag cannot be found, the object explodes instantly.

Only ever take out these backup objects with other people, and hide the tag somewhere where they cant see in the level, or use a specific create mode playground level on your moon.

Put this sensor that looks for a tag all in a microchip and hide it somewhere in the creation (maybe in more than 1 place, with more than 1 tag.)

and one last precaution, sticker the inside of a microchip with 1 sticker or decoration each from ALL your dlc. If the noob that steals your object works around the instant destroy (or could anyway), they won't be able to take out the object due to dlc!

Also, on the subject of costume copying, wear a blank or easy-to-make costume as soon as someone arrives.

Up there with my many level ideas, i'm going to publish a theft level soon, with tips to avoid it and a list of thieves (Anyone can contribute to this list.)


Lastly, if you're feeling really harsh, you could use my first tip to bombard their level with complex, multiplying objects to lag or even crash their game 		2011-07-31 17:07:00

Lol, exactly what I was thinking. If I remember, only the original creator can delete parts of a prize. So they can't stop it. Unless...what if they tweak the emitter? And what if they pause, place it, look at the specific tag name the sensor has to sense, and makes that tag?
Oh, well. The majority of people who copy are idiots, so they won't figure it out. 		2011-07-31 22:10:00

That's a brilliant idea, asking for permission before copying. I made this epic UFO that does everything. In create mode, someone was owning me with that stupid paper airplane object. So I took out the UFO.. and they copied it instantly. I was so mad 2011-07-31 22:19:00

The other day I was wearing a cool Ratchet costume that I found in a level. Well, another friend of mine was helping me make something and I thought I could trust this guy so I let him join. He brings out a Sackbot and I didnt think anything of it. Next thing I see, he is wearing my costume. I didn't care about the fact that he stole the costume (it was a costume from a level anyway), but its just the fact that he copied it without asking (it wasnt so much the item he took, it was just the principle of him doing the act). I have problems with people like that ....

I got another idea: If you got a crown or any other rare costume part, just use a sackbot that wears those rare costume parts and put it on an emitter. It doesn't even have to spawn, you could just put a tag sensor for a tag that doesn't even exist
Stealers usually don't have a crown. Because they STEAL.		2011-08-04 20:50:00

With the Tag idea, you could also make an emitter emit sings saying COPIED or something like that, and then explode.

You could put the tag and emitter idea inside a microchip. Which is then put inside another microchip, inside another microchip several times. Several times deep which would mean the thief would have to open loads of microchips taking up the screen space, their patience and time to find it. That would drive them mad, trying to find it even if they did know what they were looking for.



You could even throw in a few random logic bits that don't actually do anything on a few of them and emitter and tags not active to make it worse. But that may just be overkill, but somehow it's making me laugh.		2011-08-04 23:14:00

I had an idea for this that would be basic and simple
-get a giant pece of hollo and put a microchipon it.
-then put an emiter with a key sencer attached to it.
- name the key sencer to something and invert the key.
-now take the pece of hollo and make it as samil as posible so you cant see it.
- make the micro chip expanded so you can c the logic inside of it
- glue the holo behind said object.
Now for the kiilling logic and item
- get a pece of theck material out
- make the theck material hollo
- put a micochip on the theck material
- put the level in pause mode
- inside themicrochip put a destroyer and not gate in it
- attach the notgate and destroyer together
- edit the destryoyer to include rigged conections
- now make the theck as smail as posible
- then capture the theck material with said microchip
Finally
- emit the theck where ever the object is that the emitter is at
- now place the tag somewhere in the level so the emitter wont go off

I belive this will work wounderfully and I hope this will work for all of this paranoid community		2011-08-05 00:01:00

If you're creating a level, you can hide the parts you're not working on. Stuff that is hidden can't be saved. I learned this the hard way. I was creating this mech thing and I forgot to unhide the legs when I saved it, and the next time I used it I had to remake the whole leg.2011-08-09 09:28:00

I was thinking that Mm could include the patch that you can't capture other people's items without permission.

One thing I done is place a magic mouth on an object saying "Created by Freedomna" to start twenty seconds after the object is placed (enough time for the stealer to brag to his friends about the new item he/she "created"). Why not remove the magic mouth you ask? well its in a microchip that when opened shows... microchips and when a microchip is opened it shows... microchips.... see where I am going?

I have about 132 microchips altogether... good luck finding someone with the patients to dig through it... if they find the microchip in the first place.		2011-08-11 22:41:00

Maybe for an anti-costume-steal idea, you could create a piece of hologram that emits a larger version of it'self, which emits an even larger version of it'self, and so on. then that grows to cover a huge part of the level, which cover's over the sackbot making it unable to select the sackbot without deleting the hologram pieces. And, for good measure, you could make it emit bombs to destroy the sackbot? Idk. 2011-08-11 23:02:00

I HATE HATE HATE COPIERS!

I've had this happen in one of my level, and someone's friend (whom i might add was probably a younger, nub type fellow) stole a piece of music of which my other friend had worked so hard to make for me. (it was incomplete at the time to HAHA)

I believe this needs to stop. I almost had this thing happen AGAIN a few days back on a very logicistical battle system i was making. It's a good thing the guy who's on my friends list stopped him in time. (Don't you just hate the ignorant, selfish, greedy youth) That would have been a disaster! As far as I know, I will never let anyone I don't know enter unless my friends speak highy of them, or they are famous and have no need for my logic.

Watermarks maybe? Ask the game host? whatnot.... SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

Heh, I got mad at people copying my objects too, so I invented an anti-copy system. Basically I save a little hologram with random tags on it with my object. When I create my object in create mode, the hologram flies away from the object I made. When people copy my obj, they therefore usually miss the little hologram with the tags. I tweaked my object so that if it doesn't see those tags in the level, it'll just immediately destroy itself and create a bunch of huge bombs, lagging up the copier's level 2011-08-12 18:07:00

Wait, but this works only when the one who copied your object unpaused after placing this object in your level or went to play mode. He'll likely test his level by unpausing, see what happens with your object, undo and then look for the reason of destruction. I doubt he won't find the microchip with all your tags, destroyers and emitters and then he'll: 1) just delete all these gadgets; or 2) place all the same tags in his level. So I'm sorry about that. but I suspect that your system will not work exactly as planned.

I myself haven't got this situation, maybe just because I bought a copy of LBP 2 only about 3 weeks ago. Anyway, now, thanks to this thread, I've learned how to prevent some unknown people from copying my objects and levels.		2011-08-13 01:43:00

It only bothers me when they copy something I worked hard to create and they don't ask first. Someone came in with one of my usual hangout buds and immediately copied my costume. They couldn't use it because of the DLC it contained. I hate to think of someone going in there copying some object I spent some time creating. It's nice that someone likes your stuff good enough to use it but at least ask. Yeah? And please, (for the people with nothing but destruction on their minds) stop going in with someone in create mode and destroying things for fun while someone's creating. Not cool. More than once someone had to be kicked because of destruction. Couldn't even finish creating the level. I try to be nice to everyone I meet though I see I have to be cautious at all times. It's sad when you have to put your foot down in Little Big Planet. It takes out the fun in it.2011-08-17 13:23:00

Played with some kids, people not on my friends list, for the first time in several months a few days ago. Not a word between the three of them (I was the fourth) when I joined, and for the life of me I don't know what compelled me to do it... but I learned my lesson in just a brief 10 seconds. Barely got "hello" written out when the leader quit the level we were in, ran to the Moon, popped out a sackbot and copied the costume. It was a freely available, shareable costume too.

It's not the copying itself that's the problem, for me, it's the deliberate and underhanded and rude ways that entitled children (?) go about it. They know 99% of asking or being polite will be met with a dubious no. Why ask for what you can more easily take? Why risk or waste time building a rapport with a stranger when you can just mug and run? The lessons these social networks teach young people... sigh...		2011-08-18 03:37:00

About the costume stealing, doesn't the strategy of stickering DLC on objects work with costumes as well? Get a sticker from a DLC pack few people have, reduce it to minimal size, and stick it on a place of your sackperson where it is invisible or almost so if there are no concealable places on your costume (maybe the tongue or under the hair in the back of your sack's head, or beneath a sticker that actually belongs in your costume). If possible use stickers from more packs. The more you use, the less likely someone can use the stolen stuff.2011-08-18 06:24:00

Speaking of costume stealers I had a horrible experience with this in lbp1, I had a former friend who decided to steal a sticker with a pic of my costume on it, and copied it, and when I confronted her about it she denied the whole thing and she said someone else had made it, and promptly deleted me and blocked me. It was a costume for a group called LBV that I was apart of. this costume:

The person who did this is unfortunity a member of this forum and should be ashamed of herself!!!!!

I seriously hope they fix the whole costume stealing in edit problem soon, I don't like having to worry everytime i go into edit that someone will take my stuff (had a few items stolen before too, the situation above was probally was my worst experience in this matter)		2011-08-18 07:08:00

When someone copy something, a message show up to the host or the creator of the object if they are in the same game : For example if i'm copying something and the host is ''patato'' it will say Sport_dude wish to copy ''the name of the object'' do you accept?
When the new pack coming out i think this should really be added or anytime soon.

Even if you create with your ''friend'' , when your afk or something they can copy your stuff without knowing it. I rarely experienced this because i only lets friends i trust to enter. But still, some people complaining about their stuff being copied and this is the perfect solution.
Now you'll know if someone is trying to steal your art and you can say:
Haha you tiny little criminal! I got you and you can't copy my stuff.

I made my sackboy bald and put stickers from the Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Tron, POTC and MGS on the back of my his head, reduced to the tiniest size possible. I put the hair I use (Jayden's hair) on and took it back off again, and the stickers were still in place. So I'd assume that the stickers stay on that place even when the hair is put on, and the noobs can't use them after copying unless they have a crapload of random DLC just like you.

There's still nothing stopping people from checking your costume out and trying to replicate it manually but if you give that much importance to a costume you don't want people influenced by it's style, why the hell don't you run around with the default sackperson? That solves the issue.		2011-08-19 17:36:00

And she lost your companionship and the trust of those who know about this. If you consider your friendship a benefit, maybe it's a fair trade. Stressing over it won't erase it from her popit. Unless you shut off from the rest of the comunnity there's no effective way to stop someone from "befriending" you, checking out the costumes you make and deciding to replicate them at will. Especially when forums like this have a "Show us your sackboy!" topic that people can visit and get hundreds of ideas from the costumes of others.		2011-08-20 05:05:00

Bah, I really recommend to not let anyone join you while you're in create.
Most of all because sometimes you lose the last things you're doing, especially if you work on sequencers.
Accept join requests only from the pod, so you can control who enters with you in create.		2011-08-20 07:53:00

I agree with Omega, just don't let anyone join when you're creating. But the idea of putting a tag sensor set to inverted and than wired to a destroyer is a good one too. But I don't get all the extra stuff. All you have to do is put the tag sensor that detects tags in the entire level and destroyer on a microchip. Make the microchip as small as you can. Then put it on the side of the object. Than you put the correct tag somewhere in a random place in the level. This makes it really hard to find. Lableling the tag and sensor will also make it harder to prevent the correct tag from being placed.

I hope that makes sense and I've never tried this so I don't know how well it works.		2011-08-21 21:09:00

UGH frickin NOOBS~!

Some random dude joined me while I was surfing Community Levels and he said "moon"
well I thought "hey thats fun I guess" so I went to my moon and he kept taking out community objects (or maybe stuff he stole )
He invited someone else (another slimy stealer) and we began to have a war with our creations. I took out my epic explosive bomb but for some reason it didn't detonate. Suddenly he got out his capture object and stole my mega hyper explosive.

I got rlly mad so I returned the favor and stole something from him (epic face) then I kicked his *** out of my game!

OoOoOOOH I hate noobs that steal stuff from people.
I wanna give him Spawnpop Cancer 0-<		2011-08-27 19:30:00

That's a bummer, but it was kind of predictable. Noobs in create+ you pulling something valuable-looking out of your popit = stuff getting stolen for sure.
From reading this thread I think we all know how to prevent these situations, sackfolk... Either loads of DLC stickers or refraining from showing valuable stuff to people we don't trust completely.		2011-08-28 01:23:00

I know this has happened to most everyone on here... Your in create mode, you just spent the past five hours perfecting your awesome new creation. You let someone join, and the first thing they do is wrap their little "capture object" box around it

I have not let people I don't know in create mode for a very long time. I really think there should be some kind of system to prevent this from happening if you don't want it to. Maybe an option that appears on screen when somebody tries to copy something, 'allow this player to capture this object?'

What do you think?

Aye, excellent idea. That must be the most annoying thing to have happen to you, and a dialogue popup would certainly solve the problem.		2011-08-31 22:13:00

Never happened this to me(maybe they don't have anythig to steal?), but have you ever though that those noobs are between us? No, I don't mean members (but even this is possible), I mean noobs that look at LBPC maybe for creators they want to rob, or just for fun. Those anti-stealing systems you have mentioned can be revealed in a group of noobs and Poof! we're back there, where we started. Anyway, I don't want to scare you and I personally like the "ton-of-chips" method.

A noob didn't write this, just unlucky creator.		2011-09-01 19:12:00

People who save without asking a.k.a n00bs? Hate it. I mean if it's something that I don't like that much like the flying chicken I made a month ago, I don't mind if other people save that, but if it's like my advanced alien ship or something like that, then I get real mad. >=I I usually have a system called "the warning system" which I use if someone's saving without prior permission.

Level 1: A "nice" warning. XD
Level 2: Kick -__-'
Level 3: If we somehow meet again and the user is saving stuff again, then I get cruel and say that I'll infect him with spawn pop cancer.
Level 4: SPAWN POP CANCER TIME!! (Luckily, nobody got to this level YET) and block list >=)

Since the majority of users who save my stuff without permission are new to LBP or haven't heard of the spawn pop cancer glitch, this method actually works. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I only show them the cure if they beg on their knees asking forgiveness and act like it's the end of their lives. LOL

EDIT: Just found out that the "spawn pop cancer" glitch was fixed. S***!! I'll find another way to get revenge on the n00bs soon.		2011-09-11 16:47:00

Someone asked help on a forum for a Mass Effect level, and as I like to be helpful for people who can't create all that well, I teamed up with him. Except it wasn't much of a team. He had nothing to start with and requested me a flying, controllable Normandy ship, and that I created. Wasn't too difficult. The next day I met up with him, he just captured it without even saying a thing. And then he just said: "Ok, now make the enemy ships, I can visit you tomorrow so you can give them to me".

He didn't exactly steal my stuff. Of course I was helping him and of course I was making the ship for him to use, but I just didn't like that. He didn't say a thanks for making the ship and the best feedback he gave me was "cool". He just requested it, waited for me to make it and deliver it, captured it and requested the next thing. I was there to help him, not to make a level for him. It felt like I was being used so I respectfully declined to work with him any further saying it was because I was busy with my own level (which is actually true). He just said "ok" and left immediately. Again, without even thanking me or saying goodbye which I liked even less. Maybe he didn't mean to be disrespectful an just didn't know that there's a way to be polite on LBP but I just didn't care after the way he acted. He'll have to find another person to make his work for him. Little rude, ungrateful, inconsiderate git.		2011-09-14 04:33:00

I can't tell you how many annoying invites and friend requests I've gotten asking for similar things... Ugh, some people. I especially hate it when they leave some sincere message about needed help on something specific so I actually feel nice and join up, only to my dismay to find that they really don't have any intention of pouring of ounce of work into what they're doing, they just want me to do it for them! Show some little figment of diligence and I might, MIGHT, feel obligated to help you, otherwise, go rot in the lifeless bilge of the lucky dip page or something.		2011-09-14 21:48:00
