Importing LBP 1 objects and etc. bad?

Archive: 8 posts


Sometimes I like to go back to the simple, clunky days of LBP 1. I know (and im sure you know) that when you play LBP 2 again after playing LBP 1 that it will ask if you want import changes.Will these changes (E.g. deleting an object or level on my moon in LBP 1 that is also an object or level on my moon in LBP 2) delete anything in my LBP 2 profile? 2011-08-22 06:34:00

If you are in doubt, hold off importing LBP1 stuff again until you've backed up your current LBP2 profile. Although I think importing from LBP1 to LBP2 is generally a gain thing only. So you wouldn't overwrite or lose objects.

That is to say, I believe (disclaimer: this is not speaking from direct experience) if you import an LBP1 profile to LBP2 with custom object X, then decide to go back to LBP1 and delete custom object X, and create custom object Y, when you import the LBP1 profile to LBP2 again you'll still have custom object X in LBP2, and gain custom object Y. Even if it's the same name, you'll end up with two copies of it. The way to fully delete an object is to do so in LBP1 AND LBP2 separately. For levels on your Earth, however, since that is data on the servers and not your PS3 hard drive, if you delete or change something in LBP1 it will apply to LBP2 even without profile importing.

As I said, I am no expert. Just play it safe if you're worried, and backup nice and good!

I have imported things from LBP1 to LBP2 a few times, and I've never lost anything. But as Arbiekko says, back up your profile just in case!2011-08-22 20:01:00

OR! Before you transfer. Back up your LBP1 profile, then transfer profile data to LBP2, then when you go to play LBP1 just load back up save to continue were you left off in LBP1. Thats what i did. I'm back in LBP1 every once in a while to collect more stuff to transfer.2011-10-09 05:19:00

What I have wondered, even though I rarely play LBP1, is say.. Your objects or stickers are full in LBP2 and you made a bunch of objects and stickers in LBP1 and imported what happens? Does it delete the oldest objects and pics at the bottom of your LBP2 profiles objects and stickers page? Just.. never tried.2011-10-10 03:56:00

Say, why not simply make one or more "vault levels"?
Place all your items there, not public, locked, only viewable in LBP1, just in case, then when you play in LBP2, you can just copy the level to your moon and recapture whatever you still want.

Collected Mm items are all good, it just adds the stuff to the list.

Community stuff... Hmmm didn't specifically try but I seem to remember not losing anything. But I do keep my popit pretty empty. I vaguely remember getting a message about my photos being full and continuing would overwrite older ones, but did it anyway. I think it pushed out the 'older' LBP2 photos based on time stamp.

Again as everyone else says; Back Up.
