Modnation beta thread of low framerate awesomeness
- Thread starter Mik2121

Yup, definitely easy to design and it has a LOT of customization possibilities. Much more than the Wii's Miis and the 360's avatars. If Sony could buy this IP and make it their own avatar, I, for one, would love it. They are quite likable and I would love to see them in some other game.Katana_Strikes said:
But I'm not sure which ones I like more, if these fellas or the sackboys..
Sackboys have much more charm, but the Mods (the characters in this game) seem easier to customize and they would fit in many more kind of games
Maybe they release some other 'Modnation' games..

The other thing with the mods is that they have many animations and facial expressions they do themselves based on your actions, whereas LBP facial expressions are user controlled and not used as frequently to create atmosphere.
One thing LBP needs is to allow NPCs of other sackboys to say and do stuff. It would increase the charm in my opinion.

Perhaps we should keep a list of all the GAF creations and creators? They can be easily found via either adding the creator to your PSN friendlist and browsing creations by friends, or just by text searching the track name.
Here's all the tracks i've seen posted in the thread so far, if i've missed anyone just tell me and i'll add them to the list - perhaps we could get this added to the OP?
ArgorokX; Street Maze
Bootaaay; Canyon Climber, Mountainside Climb, Mountain GP, Sunset Drive
MyFaceIsOnFire; Windmill Town
Just tried your track out man, really great work, it's alot of fun - left you a comment and a positive vote too One comment though, on the right hand side of the final corner there's a building placed so it's slightly in mid air and you can drive under it, also the building behind it makes for a pretty annoying obstacle, especially as it's on the final corner.
*edit, just tried RagnarokX's track 'Street Maze' - really well built man, very unique track design, although I found the town section to be somewhat confusing. Also, the mountain and the huge jump are awesome, but if you go off the jump sideways you miss the landing and break out of the confines of the course.

I personally felt the problem was actually online lag vs low framerate. In the modspot it is attempting to connect you to other people so it seems to jump around a bit, but if you turn the online off there it runs smooth.
Very easy, simple as choosing some features and moving them around til you like the spot they are in, you can also go to advanced editing and resize, rotate, skew each feature.Katana_Strikes said:

Thanks for the vote and the feedback! Is it possible to edit an already published track without losing votes? I have 11 positve votes that I don't want to lose!

Looks great, how do you get the track to end like that though? I've been trying to do that for jumps, another thing I'm having trouble with is trying to make more open spaces like that shot above with the track spiraling up a mountain side. I think I need to figure out how to get rid of the barriers or something.
Edit: aha so thats what the breadcrum option was for

Go to the Road Types paintbrush tool thing, the 4th one down (i think) is an eraser. Erase the road, and if it's elevated like that it will just make it end. Careful with this, making the jump land where you want can be a pain.

This game has tons of potential, I'll get it if they:
1) Fix the framerate
2) Give us the option for adjustable camera angles
3) Throw us a pre order bonus for Sackboy DLC
EDIT: Does this game work with a G25? I'm getting that for GT5 and was curious.

I was just editing my Metal Sonic mod into a proper Sonic one when I found this far superior one uploaded by someone called dalte89:
People certainly have got the hang of this character creation fast with such limited unlocked costume items! Figured I'd make a car for him :

I've been exploring the track creator a bit more and its far better/deeper than I realized at first. I have just published what I think is my best course : Alpine Boogie. Please check it out and leave tips!

NeoGAF member's created tracks;
GAF Name---PSN Name---Track Name(s)
Bootaaay - Bootaaay; Canyon Climber, Mountainside Climb, Mountain GP, Sunset Drive
MyFaceIsOnFire - MyFaceIsOnFire; Windmill Town
RagnarokX - ArgorokX; Island Hop, Street Maze
Teknoman - TeknomanEX; Roundrock Hills
wind_steaker - HaloumiFace; Alpine Boogie
Also guys, remember that allowing users to remix your track makes it easier to play for others as the beta doesn't allow quick races and the only way to play a locked created track is to host an online game using that level or to play it in time trial.
*edit, tried Teknoman & wind_steaker's tracks - Alpine Boogie is a ton of fun, I love the offroad bit at the start with the huge jump and the canyon bit is crazy when everyone's got weapons going off, really can't fault it at all - Roundrock Hills is an excellent road circuit with some really amazing drifting oppertunities, I was sideways so often I felt like I was playing Ridge Racer Awesome work guys.

Thanks, forgot to enable remixing though.

Yowza, Island hop looks awesome.
RagnarokX said:
Aww, well maybe there will be some kind of tube option for submerged sections. Also I noticed launchers in the prop menu. Guessing that'll work like those huge cannons of MK DD/Wii.
I'll have to go through each of those levels later today. Oh and has anyone tried to host a GAF stage race online?

What other kinds of settings will be in the game? Are there going to be different templates aside from that village area? Like ice/futuristic/desert/shit like that.

There are definetly litle tower blocks and other buildings and a desert theme in the game but they haven't shown much else that I know of.
I'll be checking these tracks out after bladerunner!

I'm sadly beta-less, so I'm gonna need a lot more videos of the tracks you guys have created! The pics are nice, but I need videos! That Island Hop tracks looks great, and a few others have also looked really good!

Nice Samus, handofgod.
Anyway, the track creator has been my favorite part of the beta. I've made four tracks so far, three of which I've bothered to take pictures of. (My first one was really just to learn the editor and make wacky jumps).
Lakeside
This one circles around a lake with parts of the track submerged. Watch out for the sharp turn before the homestretch.
Crisscross
The next involves two criss-cross sections, one of which is a jump.
Detours
Finally, I have my offroad course. The main course has suffered from a rockslide, so the actual course has been forced to divert off into the mountain valley. Get back onto the course to cross the lake, but you'll have to jump right back onto the grass and through the valley before racing off a cliff back to the homestretch. I really love how this one turned out, but the AI seems oblivious to props placed all over the road. Sometimes they'll take the branch, but other times they'll just drive into rocks and respawn themselves. :/
PSN name is Kirbutashi if you try them out.
Is there an option I'm missing somewhere to increase the size of your screenshots?
Well, you can certainly make it float. Just hold triangle while you have the blimp and press Up on the D-pad to raise it up into the air. Just make sure you don't have it pinned to the track.Teknoman said:
