http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091119202605/assassinscreed/images/2/26/Assassin%27s_Creed_Logo.jpg Tech Demo Available Now! Hello LBPCentral, I'm working on a new project on Assassins Creed Brotherhood. Since no one has made a really quality Assassins Creed level, or at least not that I've seen I decided I ought'a do it, And I love Assassins Creed . Currently I'm working on the HUD & Logic for Ezio, including fighting and Climbing, ect. I had some before, but It wasn't very flexible. But building on what I did before, I mostly cought up, and its much neater. As far as features go... I was planning it to be a Free Roam level, with assorted assassin misson and collectable stuff to find, and the always fun fighting guards If You guys have any suggestions or tips on what you'd like to see in this level, please let me know. If you'd like to contribute to this project in anyway, Also let me know. And now I leave you with some screenshots (Kinda) http://i9.lbp.me/img/ft/1391998c717acfbed168e304827c72cc7cb0794e.jpg Ezio in the Armor Of Brutus, likey an unlockable skin anyone? http://i1.lbp.me/img/ft/5518a463e3e6761e448f8e34baf64b24e56ce636.jpg Costume for the assassin recruit http://i8.lbp.me/img/ft/08811c97622c26d2a9372491c200ea1f73a905f4.jpg And finally the costume for Ezio, exclusively designed by monkeysboys for the level (Thanks monkeys ) http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/92597f71998f785927b40b7ca686e7a6b949cb2b.jpg Got the updated HUD Ok thanks for reading, see ya.

Looks good. I've actually got practically all the face button actions Logiced out. I was making a AC level ages ago (first thing I started)

How exacly did you go about doing it? I used selectors for weapons and all this other variable stuff. Still doesnt work fully :C.

2011-06-09 18:41:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

So far I have health, stance switching, and weapon switching done. Which is weird becuase you'd thing that'd be the hardest...

nice the pic you uploaded looks great btw how do you upload pics

You take a picture with your popit, then up load it and go to LBP.me and go to your photos and open it in a new tab and copy the image URL

2011-06-10 01:05:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

Weapons switching was the easiest thing to program in Mythicos... well magic switching, but same thing. It is too easy sometimes to do this stuff and you psych yourself out thinking it will be hard lol

that looks really cool from the photo, i hope to see this project completed, and ill give you a hand with logic if youd like, just hit me up on psn

That HUD looks awesome...I would suggest having the icons locked onto the edges of the screen however. Take a look at the Creator's Camera System in my sig if you don't know how.

2011-06-10 04:04:00 Author: anthman852 Posts: 66

---

Well the thing about that is the way I do my enviornents is that there is a very thin peice of material for the ground, if you look at my metro screenshots, your know what I mean. Imo, its worth sacraficing for dynamic camera angles and detailed envoirments. This level focuses HIGHLY on details. But also great gameplay, however I really need a person who is VERY skilled at logic. Sadly no big creators want to help. :/ I don't blame them, but still.

2011-06-10 04:21:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

I kinda got the Walk, fast walk, run, sprint. Things working. Problem is, I used movers, and that makes the sackbot trip around when he runs :/

2011-06-10 05:30:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Ok, I've got the Climbing sorted... completely. I redid it in my moon - everythings works correctly!

2011-06-10 12:22:00 Author: Nurolight Posts: 918

About the HUD: I've thought about this before actually, but you can do some interesting thing with a persistent HUD and changing game cameras if you use followers. Basically you are going to want to make a large piece of hologram that fills the entire screen and follows the sackbot around. You can put movie cameras right on this, setting their time to be infinite. Then you can communicate with tags to determine which camera is active at any time (selectors are handy here, as you only want one on at a time). Then to make the HUD make sense, you can make the HUD elements follow tags on the corners of the full-screen holo. When you change the camera zoom/angle, you can change which tag is lit up in the corner. Your HUD will thus move around so that it's always in the corners (assuming you set the tags up correctly). Does that make sense?

Different camera angles are easily implemented as comphermc stated. One thing to keep in mind if you make a persistent HUD using this method is that you need two versions. One for those with 4:3 Televisions and one for those with 16:9 Televisions. You wouldn't have to remake everything though...just have the HUD pieces follow different tags.

Just a quick question have you even started enemy A.I yet?

2011-06-10 20:08:00 Author: fighterwindplus Posts: 403

---

Well, a little. XD

2011-06-10 21:52:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Here is another quick question... Can I see your health bar outside of preview mode? I mean, we are both working on pretty intensive projects, and I was wondering if I could see how your logic was set up and cross compare with my own. The reason being that I want to know weather it is worth SACKrificing simplicity of logic for a heart or blip based health system. i currently have a timer based health bar, and yeah... Just wondering how tidy your logic is basically.

2011-06-11 18:10:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

---

It's quite simple really. It's really rather flexible. For instance if I wanted to say when I have 3 health squares, I could make him fly around. Assuming I WANTED to do that, which I'm not going to do. But I could. Basicly its a counter hooked up to a positional sequencer with a lot of tags. You'll have to see it to understand what I mean

2011-06-11 22:39:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Also I was wondering, how do I do sprint? I tried using a the sackbot behavior, but it had no effect, then I tried using movers, which just made the sackboy trip around. So any suggestions? Comphermc got a sprint working on his level, but I dont know how he did it

2011-06-11 23:05:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Anyone have any suggestions at all for the level? Im planning free roam, but do you guys want to see? Missons? (I was planning) Recruiting Assassins? ( I was planning Assassins, but wasn't planning to recruit them) Assassin mission? Please Share.

Comphermc got a sprint working on his level, but I dont know how he did it This is probably coz ur using the advanced mover when instead you should be using movers. I could help with the logic if you want.

I also made an AC level as my first project. For your running, if you wire yup two controllinators, and then put out batteries within microchips each with say 50% & -50% for walking, 80% & -80% for run and 100% & -100% for sprint. Have AND gates wired to say L3 is just walking, R1 and L3 is run and R1, L3 and X is sprint. Much like the original AC. Of course, directional splitters can be used for the negative input and all else Hope this helps

2011-06-12 11:33:00 Author: TheLittleSoAndSo Posts: 181

Using movers with direction spliters, and it makes ezio do a weird tripping motion, hard to explain. Moving is fine, but getting rid of the strange tripping thing is the problem

2011-06-12 11:38:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

The battery % output controls how much effort is being combined with the L stick towards the walking (Speeds)

2011-06-12 12:17:00 Author: Nurolight Posts: 918

---

I understand that much, but does it just go with in OR for the L stick?

2011-06-12 12:31:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

yes, sorry, i forgot to add that. you hook it to an OR gate and it should work

2011-06-12 14:36:00 Author: TheLittleSoAndSo Posts: 181

and he doesnt trip if you use my method (:

I got movement working This is starting to shape up, imo. Tech Demo soon anyone?

2011-06-13 06:38:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

From the climbing wall, I've actually added a lot of features into the SackBot

http://i9.lbp.me/img/ft/1b9140bae3edd1604a599c00ad2bd09552686ef0.jpg Thats the logic so far. Sad that it'll be multiplied at least 5xs before it's done.

2011-06-14 04:31:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

whats all that logic for? because the walk run sprint was only like one microchip for me?

2011-06-14 07:16:00 Author: TheLittleSoAndSo Posts: 181

---

the sequencer I am guesing is for some attack animation? I cant see exactly where it is coming from, but that is pretty much how the sword swing looks in Mythicos.

Air Assassination Oh and wayne, it has more than just walking. And I half the walking speed on one big chip, and have 4 other smaller chips for the specific forms movent, walking, fast walk, ect. Its just more organized to me.

2011-06-14 18:23:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

I just added a fall & roll thing. Its so pointless. But I love it. XD

2011-06-14 19:59:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

If it adds detail and depth, it isn't pointless

2011-06-14 21:06:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

---

Yeah, lol. Suprisingly it only took me a few tries to get it working

2011-06-14 21:07:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Does he roll EVERY time he touches the floor or is it only after a huge jump or fall? Coz it will look stupid if he rolls after a 'hop.

2011-06-14 21:25:00 Author: CYBERSNAKE Posts: 280

---

I would assume it is only for longer falls. If not it wouldn't be too hard to change.

2011-06-14 21:58:00 Author: anthman852 Posts: 66

---

Yeah only after long falls, I COULD make it hop if I wanted. Lol I also just finished rewiring the health bar. And it took FOREVER. It was very tedious thing to do.

2011-06-14 22:23:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Is there anyone who would know how to do sword fighting?

2011-06-14 23:31:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

like sword fighting like Zelda? or more like... God of War?

2011-06-14 23:48:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

---

Hmm, neither. Its more like its own stlye XD. You attack in low profile and block in high profile, and when an enemy is in mid attack you can counter kill him. And after succsessfully killing someone, you can counter kill another person quickly. Thats the best I can explain :/. Its basicly like realistic sword fighting, aside from the part where you kill everybody really fast.

2011-06-14 23:56:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

yeah, i've had some eperience with that sort of thing, i'll show you an example. Basically, it's sequences, movers, acting and sounds. (: Haha lol i was going thinking of adding the roll after a long jump in my Free-running level. Do you think i could still use it? I dont mind if not but i had liked the thought and was going to make it until urgent matters called me away. If you need any other help with acrobatics, gimme a shout; my free running level has got all the acrobatics you could need it's all entirely fluid as well, so the pace never lets up and the result is a fiery, fast-paced and frantic level hope this helps (:

2011-06-15 07:37:00 Author: TheLittleSoAndSo Posts: 181

Have a hitbox for every stance, and have the sensor key on the hitbox only active when that stance is activated on a sequencer... that way, you could trigger a different reaction in ever phase of battle with the same move.

2011-06-15 14:27:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

---

Hmm, sounds like something to try. Thanks. And Wayne, let me know when your next on.

2011-06-15 19:08:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Yeah. You can use hitboxes as a custom radius tool for anything. I use them a lot in Mythicos for lots of different things not just attacks.

Tech Demo is now available!

2011-06-16 03:00:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

Cannot wait to play it! EDIT: I added it to my queue!

2011-06-16 13:36:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

Im going to update it soon

2011-06-18 01:22:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Its very good i must say, the HUD is spot on! may i just ask how you did that ariel jump kill at the start? because that was particularly impressive and i would love to see how it worked (:

2011-06-18 07:17:00 Author: TheLittleSoAndSo Posts: 181

---

I played the tech demo but the gentle push dont work. Otherwise it was good.

2011-06-18 10:43:00 Author: craigmond Posts: 2426

Well yeah I havent made it yet XD

2011-06-18 21:57:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

I would love to play this level, but I don't have little big planet 2 ( sad ikr? ) Do you mind posting some more pictures of the stuff you can do in the demo level? Also, even though I don't have the game I learned about all the logic in the game and might be able to help you out with certain stuff.

2011-06-18 23:15:00 Author: Unknown User

I'll see if I can get some pictures

2011-06-19 02:00:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

Oh wow, This looks stunning, if you need any help with building (Not logic) I could possibly help, otherwise I am a great tester!

2011-06-20 03:05:00 Author: Unknown User

---

I could probably use some testers, My main skill is building objects and stuff so I got that down

2011-06-20 05:00:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

I could probably use some testers, My main skill is building objects and stuff so I got that down I found the level and played it. I really like the engine you have going! HUD is amazing, can you make it fit on all the screen? It's kinda hard to read being so small, try what that guy said on the first page. And actually, I maybe better at logic then I think I am, alot of my buds keep sayin' I am to modest when it comes to building, and I think it maybe true XD So if you do need any help with logic that wont have me editing a controlinator and could use gates, then i could very well help out I am a rounded builder (Except music) so if you need something I can try to do it. I think I will try to make some AC characters like civilians and Scholars for some costume practice.

2011-06-20 06:47:00 Author: Unknown User

Wow its nearly at 1,100 plays. I was NOT expecting that

2011-06-21 01:18:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

If you put together some amazing settings, this would be perfect. Funny how most of the players that dislike it are those who made their own AC levels....though with much fewer plays.

2011-06-21 01:53:00 Author: SSTAGG1 Posts: 1136

---

Yeah I noticed that too Just jelly

2011-06-21 06:18:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

When playing the indev level it looked like you had put a costume theft protection thing on, quite smart! My friend found that out cause he wanted the costume stickers. So we left after talking about what you have so far and then split the party, so while I was not in his group I guess he went back to your level and tried taking the stickers, this time he found a way to do it by zooming in So you may want to fix that if you want true protection on your levels Cool thing is though, now he has one of the best looking Ezio costumes ever made

2011-06-21 06:20:00 Author: Unknown User

---

Please tell him to delete it. I CANNOT stress this enough. I have had a lot of problems with this, and my friend monkeysboys made it for me, and hes not having a good time with it either. PLEASE, tell him to delete. Stealing is not cool. It was an exclusive costume. I added a new barrier btw

2011-06-21 06:32:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

---

Indeed I will the next time he is on. I figured that if there was a barrier then its there for a reason. I hope that post helped you fix it

2011-06-21 07:05:00 Author: Unknown User

---

Played your tech demo and its looking great. Can't wait to play your full level when its finished. Just wondering though, how did you jump?

Dude. Who stole that jewel of a costume? I will hunt them down and gut them like a fish! I hate LBPiracy! I hate it so much!!!!!

Dude. Who stole that jewel of a costume? I will hunt them down and gut them like a fish! I hate LBPiracy! I hate it so much!!!!! I agreed 100%, it drives me crazy, espically since my friend made it for me exclusively.

Stop hating on my buddy for trying to help out, he did it with best intentions, he did not claim it to be his or even where it in public. The only reason he did what he did was so he could leave feed back. Your lucky it was not some NOOB that took it and would claim it as there own and publish it.

Not hatting on your friend, im talking about piracy in gerneral

2011-06-21 20:55:00 Author: SPARTANDUDE924 Posts: 285

"Not hatting on your friend..." "Not hatting on..." "Not hatting..." "hatting..." "HATTING" .... Sorry. Anyways, why would he need to take the costume in question in order to leave feedback?

2011-06-22 14:02:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

---

Yeah, the help out part confused me a bit XD. But I see why people want the costume. Still I mean, just really :/ I've messaged a bunch of people about that have

Your "friend" should have got permission from the owner, because everyone hates piracy. I love Assassin's Creed, and I think you should start considering a storyline of some sort. I can help plenty with that, so PM if you need any assistance.

looks too complex for me to begin to understand. @_@ by the way, how much thermo does it take up? and could I... test it?

2011-06-23 18:29:00 Author: LBNinja Posts: 204

Perhaps. It doesnt take much, but im holding off on making it until I finish my other level.
