Cornish Yarg patch notes released

Mar 26th 2009 - 5:38 PM

Sam Protagonist has just revealed the feature list for the upcoming 1.12 patch, Cornish Yarg.

  • There is a new music player which lets players choose their own music from the XMB to play during create mode and in their Pod
  • Improved decoration mode makes it easier to customise your Sackboy
  • New options to help prevent profiles becoming full of unwanted community objects:
    • Option to delete all (unhearted) community objects and photos
    • Option to select whether to automatically collect community prizes and photos
  • A number of improvements have been made to make profiles more robust and to recover from certain errors
  • We now support Japanese and Korean IME for text chat.
  • Emitter prediction has been improved (this should help fast-moving projectiles e.g. in MGS levels)
  • The player proximity switch now has a ‘require all’ option in it
  • An option has been added to cycle between various level information when viewing community levels on the earth
  • Various LittleBigStore improvements


Wow. There are some great fixes and updates there.
The patch still does not have a date though, but so long as there isn’t an almighty balls-up somewhere along the line, we’re expecting this *soon*, but not before the 1.11 content update which is due next week. Sam’s exact words were:

To add some timing context to this, the 1.11 update, which contains content only, is due for release next week (I’ll update if this timing changes). Cornish Yarg is a little after that release, but I’ll give a better timeline once it’s looking concrete.

Some of you might still be fretting about what this patch is not addressing, but fear not - Sam also has some titbits of information about what else is coming soon.

We don’t yet have a fixed release date for this update, but it has now finished primary development so won’t be too much longer. Additional fixes, particularly for online connection reliability and save game/profile size problems are already well into development and we’ll bring you more news on that just as soon as possible.

w00tage.

Thanks to mnimmo once again for the heads up.

[UPDATE]

Michelle at Media Molecule has posted another lovely list. Arguably juicier than the first one too as it’s worded in a way which makes our tongues swell with anticipation. Loving lists today!

  • A super awesome set of 5 new tutorials in “Create Pack 1”! These tutorials unlock some lovely new creative tools to play about with and help you make even cooler levels. The new tools are as follows:
    • Infinite lives checkpoint
    • Visibility tweak option on certain joint objects (to hide these in Play mode)
    • Global settings object (to trigger lighting changes)
    • Tetherless jetpack - [OH EMMM GEEEE!!!!11!twelve!!11!]
  • Angle range proximity switch (additional functionality on proximity and magnetic key switches)
  • IME text chat support for Korean and Japanese
  • Some nifty profile managing tools and menus for better profile management when receiving community objects and photos.
  • A very sleek music player which is available to use while in create mode, meaning you can listen to your own MP3s while you make!
  • Advanced Sackboy customisation mode to help you decorate all those hard to reach places
  • Anton’s sweated blood to try to fix the level loading issues some of you may have experienced, so if you have a broken level, why not give it another go?

Does that mean if you have music playing in your pod other gamers can hear it?

Anchor

no, it wont, that would mean you would need to stream the music to them, which would take up more data transmission, and it lags now and again as it is, this would make it worse

Anchor

I noticed that the night/day switch is not in the features list. Does this mean it won’t be coming with the patch? :(

Anchor

taken from the forum

The globe tool is also coming up, and there will be more news about that next week.

So may not be in the patch

Anchor

You forgot some REALLY good stuff.

@oldboyhammer- the night and day switch is there man!

@Pumapayam

where you getting this from, are you just going off leaked pictures

Anchor

ok, your not i found the item

Anchor

sounds like Create Pack 1 indicates that there will be more than one, but may be payed for DLC

Anchor

@Mike

Yup, got it from the Media Molecule site.

Anchor

Article updated chaps wink

Anchor

Hooray for Cornish Yarg!! But can you imagine that! A tether-less jet pack! Whats next? and the decoration thing sounds very interesting. but i really can’t wait for that infinite lives checkpoint. it’s perfect for screwing with peoples heads!

Anchor

I want Create, Share and Play points. :(

Anchor

While these updates are really going to be great…

Is it just me that wants online create mode still?  Just wondering, as it doesn’t seem to come up.  Wasn’t this supposed to be a feature at launch.  I’ve been excited to make levels with my friends in other areas since before this game was launched, and I remember asking Media Molecule at a conference before launch if this was going to be in the game, and was told “YES”.  Levels will get so much better with collaboration.  Get it done guys!

Anchor

WOOT

Anchor

No online create mode? Please tell I can’t see:)

Anchor

I love the fact that MM says that they are only “half way throught” with LBP.  Than means we have a lot to look forward to.  Be a little more patient with the online create mode.  MM has not let us down yet and I don’t think they will.  Plus LBP is coming to PSP!!  How cool is that.  Hopefully that will happen pretty soon too.

Anchor

no online create, scheduled for release in leerdammer update

check updated part of post

Anchor

This is all splendid! I wonder if the 5 new tutorials are narrated by the wonderful Stephen Fry like the others?

Anchor

@Gumbie
@Mikey
Thanks guys!

Anchor

i am VERY interested in the new mode for creating sacboys :p lol i can finally give my broken second controller a break trying to put a tail on my first player controller in mid motion between the pod and in menu :p

Anchor

when does it come out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anchor

What will be coming in the 1.11 content update?

Anchor

1.11 is a content patch, containing all the latest costume/dlc data which, at least the parts of it required for all players.

Anchor

Awesome update, dunno why you guys complaining about no online create mode, it will come, be patient! We have this two patches to look forward to so hey. i so want to use the tetherless jet pack and global lighting tool great fun plus i need the lighting tool for my latest level :D

Anchor

What the heck happened last night? The site was all screwy and said something like “Critical Error”.

Anchor

Thanks Tom!! Can’t wait for Yarg guys!!

Anchor

Wow…. Speechcless. But what’s the point of the Tetherless jetpack? We can already do that by not glueing the normal jetpack to anything. Apart from that, this update sounds GREAT! A feature we also need is when your changing the length of pistons & other connectors is to skip lengths by like 10 or 50 by double tapping fast the directional button you want it to go because If your making a piston the biggest it can go it takes AGES to make it that by just holding down right :(

Anchor

@ vinni08

The tetherless jet pack is to make certain levels easier. this way you wont have to adjust the tether length to fit the level. take azure palace for example, there are a whol bunch of jetpacks so that you can make it through without the tether getting tight. with the patch, geruvah(i hope i’m spelling that right.)22 can just put in a single jetpack and a few in case you die and voila! plus it looks cooler since theres no chain getting in the way. i think this was hinted at in hot shots gold. if sackboy gets a birdie he flies off in the jetpack but theres no teather in sight! How did i not see that before!

Anchor

@Ausohoj

Oh thanks smile

Anchor

@ vinni08
Whats the point of tetherless?? Do you think flying around with a jetpack hanging below you look cool? or convenient?

Anchor

what about the play/share/create n psHome surport.. it been months since the game came out n my play/share/create info still at 0’s

Anchor

Seems like a good patch in my eyes, hmmm well yeah. I know alot of people said it, and i know its coming. But i would love a co-op creation patch.. That was the main reason i bought it. Because before the game came out i was like with a friend thinking of idea’s and stuff, Anyway! Playing music While creation is a good start raspberry I could play songs on my pc as well but my tv has the surround sound speakers + HD sound so that will be sexy!!! Anyway ty molecure I loved the game since it came out keep up the good work ^^

Anchor
